Alia's POV 

Was it a dream? Yes, it was. The time when I, Varun, and Kabir solved our last case and got the other case of Miami Oberoi, was the last happy time in my life. So many thunderstorms in our lives were there- First Miami Oberoi, then Navya and Abhishek, and lastly, the confession. Love confession is considered to be a beautiful moment, but it wasn't in my case. I had to choose between my two best friends- Varun and Kabir. I thought that Kabir and I are so similar and team up against Varun just for fun purposes and so similar people fall in love. Likewise, I thought that I love Kabir but am I regretting this now? To choose Kabir over Varun is my regret? Maybe.

"Alia?" Kabir asked while getting up from his sleep. He was about to slip when I just held him by his arm and made him sit. He smiled at me, and we freshened up to get ready for college. 

I was helping Kabir walk properly near the entrance when I heard those words- "Varun, you need to be careful. You have got serious injuries on your leg." And this was enough for me that after ensuring that Kabir was fine, I ran towards Varun and hugged him. He was barely able to stand and was using sticks as support. He was not able to maintain his balance, but I didn't leave him and eventually, Miami had to help us. 

"Varun, what happened to you? Is it paining much? Please tell me" and I didn't realize when my eyes became glassy. 

"It... it's fi...fine Alia. Ouch!" He shrieked in pain, so I just made him sit on a bench and examined his leg. Being a medical student, I could say that it's serious. I just didn't bother to ask them how this happened, all that was important was his treatment, and now I will make sure that he gets it all fine. I also helped Kabir the last night. 

"Stop saying Varun. Miami, can I please take care of Varun? Will you help Kabir today? I guess Varun's condition is worse." I pleaded and she nodded. She made her way to Kabir and he smiled. 

I and Varun were in the same division, so it wasn't even a problem for us.

Miami's POV

I was feeling it awkward to spend my day with Kabir, but I had to. He was clearly not happy but agreed as Varun was their friend too. I held him by his arm and moved towards his division- Business section. We both were in that same division, so I guess it also wasn't a problem. 

"Kabir?" I asked

"Ya? Yes Miami?" he inquired

"Why is it so formal Kartik?" I asked with blurry eyes. 

"What did you say? Kartik?" he asked with stress.

"No, I mean Kabir. I said this as a mistake" I replied

"Oh ok!" he exclaimed, although I could predict that he was not satisfied. 

"Miami?" he asked

"Yes?" I asked

"Are you comfortable around me? I mean when Alia asked you to be with me for a day, your face fell. That's why." he inquired

"N...no. Nothing! Just that past" I blurted out and realized that I wasn't supposed to. 

"Past?" he asked

"Nothing Kartik." I slapped my head mentally and saw his blood shot eyes.

"Are you really Naira?" he asked

"Who's she?" and I didn't realize when sweat beads formed on my forehead. 

He very well noticed this, took me aside with much difficulty and pinned me to the wall in a secluded area. He just kept asking me, but I chose not to answer. 

"You very know my patience limit Naira. Tell me. Why are you back again? Huh!?" he just asked and tears just covered my face. His heart ached, and he immediately tried to pull his hand to remove my tears, but he shrieked in pain.

"Kabir! Just sit here." I guided him and he sat there. I opened his plaster and found that his arm was worse than before. Not only that, but I just took it into consideration and decided to take him to the medical room of the college. 

Kabir's POV

Just a thing is going in my mind that why is Miami freaking not admit that she is Naira? Why is she back? Were our childhood fights not enough for her that she just came to stretch this argument? This all started that day, the day when she entered our lives. 

That day...

"Miami Oberoi" this was the only name ringing on your mouths and in our minds. 

Secret Amigos had got one more case to solve and this one was even trickier. Who knew that this case wasn't related to anyone else's life but directly with my life that it too affected Varun and Alia's lives too. 

"Anything in mind guys?" Alia asked

"Actually a thing! Kabir was scratching his neck and this meant that he was lying to us, and he has a clue." Varun replied

I just looked at both of my friends. They both know me inside out. 

This reminds me of the movie too- inside out. 

"Wait, I wasn't hiding anything. Just check that damn paper, I guess it had that freaking names Navya and Abhishek too." I concluded and they nodded. 

"Abhishek is that spoilt richie rich brat, but there's no Navya in our college right?" they both spoke the exact lines. How the fooking hell? And that cute blush of them, I just want to pull their cheeks right now. I did it right away. 

"Hey? What are you doing? Ouchhh!" I mumbled in pain when they both kept their hands in each other's and pulled my both of the cheeks tight. 

"Navya and Abhishek, right? Did I hear this only Secret Amigos?" we felt our mouths dropping when we heard this, and she was there- Miami Oberoi, a stranger girl for us that time.

And my trance got broken when Miami/ Naira nudged my elbow. 

"What are you thinking?" she asked, and I just nodded in a no with that cute smile. 

She smiled too, and we were there at the medical room.

Varun's POV

I was really lost in happiness. Alia, my love would take my care for the whole day. Maybe she is not mine, but she still cares for me, she is still my best friend. And I just got conscious about my situation, and it made my heart swell from happiness. 

We were there at the last bench of the class because my crazy Alia had already done half of the syllabus when it was just the starting, and she was just sleeping now. She got bored in the class and slept on my shoulder. I just moved closer to her and covered in a way so that the lecturer doesn't get to know about this. 

She is my inspiration, and that's why I call her my Prerna. Just my Prerna and she calls me her Anurag, her first friend and also her love as she jokes. 

But I just hoped that this wasn't a joke, and she could be mine. Maybe in the next birth. 

"Why are you moving so much richie rich Mr. serious?" she mumbled in sleep and I just muttered a sorry. Today stars were also in my favor that I could talk a li'l freely as there were no people sitting on the second last benches. 

I just made my mind to have a little fun like I used to do before where in talks, I would know her emotions and secrets.

"Alia, girl are you listening to me?" I asked softly. 

"Yes boy" and it just sent shivers down my spine. Our old talks. 

"Do you like me?" I asked out of the blue and was too surprised at my question. 

"No" I pouted and asked why did she say so.

"Because I don't think it's not liking. It's something more than that and I think less than love." my eyes got moist, and I just engulfed her in an embrace. She got up from her sleep and immediately parted. She started paying attention to the class and I got her back. My Prerna!

I, too, shifted my gaze from her to the lecture and decided to ask about this later for sure!
