PART 4
("From Crush to Confidant: A Rollercoaster Friendship")



Seza had initially considered Artrav as a friend, but her feelings for him had faded when she learned about his relationship with another girl. Seza decided it wouldn't be wise to fall for him. Although they weren't very close, they had exchanged numbers and occasionally checked each other's statuses, but they never texted or had meaningful conversations.
Artrav stood out as a bright student, and within a few days, his intelligence and sharp mind had made him a favorite among almost every teacher. Over time, Seza and Artrav grew closer and discussed attending coaching classes after campus because they both struggled with certain subjects. Seza only interacted with Artrav during class and didn't know her other classmates well, unlike Arshana, who had become familiar with everyone.
As the days passed, Seza found Artrav to be an irritating guy. They often teased and fought with each other over trivial matters, but Artrav was known for being jolly, fun-loving, and a bit crazy. They began attending coaching classes together, and everyone had busy schedules.
However, after a few months, Artrav stopped coming to class for a week, causing concern for Seza and Arshana. They decided to reach out to him and discovered that Artrav was going through a heartbreak. He had recently ended a three-year relationship and was feeling sad, frustrated, and unwell. Hearing this, Seza and Arshana felt sympathy for him. They learned that Artrav's girlfriend had been cheating on him for the past year, and he was unaware of it.
After consoling him, Artrav slowly returned to school, but he was no longer the same cheerful and lively guy. He became quiet and despondent, and his friends tried their best to help him cope with the pain. As the days passed, everyone prepared for their exams. Artrav and Seza had grown so close that they argued every day, and it seemed like a day wouldn't pass without a fight. They had become each other's enemies, but strangely, they confided in each other and shared their secrets. They had developed a bond of enemies with secrets, keeping each other's confidences and frequently helping one another. Despite their fights, they insisted, "We don't like each other."
When their exams were finally over, they bid each other goodbye for the two-month winter break and returned home with heavy hearts, knowing they wouldn't have the opportunity to fight with each other.
