I was pacing back and forth in my room, unable to stop the thoughts swirling in my mind. Sharanvi was with Aviyaan, and we had just come back from dinner. Dada and Dadi had joined us as well, but my mind wasn't on the food or the return journey. I couldn't help but think about Sharanvi-why was she with him? What did he want from her? What if he got angry at her? What if he scolded her?

Ugh, why am I even worrying so much? I tried to calm myself. He probably just wants to talk to her. It's nothing unusual... or is it?

But then, why did he ask her to meet him in such a sneaky way?

There had to be something going on... maybe.

No. I was probably just overthinking. I needed to stop stressing and clear my mind. Sleep would help. Yes, I would go to sleep and then ask Sharanvi about it in the morning.

I lay on my bed, closing my eyes, trying to push all these thoughts away. Sleep came quickly, pulling me into its peaceful embrace.

The next thing I knew, my alarm was jolting me awake. I groaned as I sat up, realizing the time. I quickly got up, rushing to the washroom to get ready.

After getting dressed, I stepped toward the exit. Just as I was about to leave, I heard a familiar voice. My steps faltered, and I turned toward the sound. My eyes widened in surprise.

What on earth were they doing here?

I hesitated, unsure if I could even make it to university now. Still, I knew I had to deal with it. I joined my hands together and greeted them respectfully, touching the elders' feet to seek their blessings.

There they were-Tanvi Aunty and her family, my mom's best friend's family.

I greeted everyone warmly and sat down beside Tanvi Aunty, who was as kind and sweet as always. Everyone in her family was lovely-everyone except her son. Aditya.

He was charming, outgoing, and far too confident for my liking. I knew him from childhood, and back then, the three of us-Aviyaan, Aditya, and I-used to play together often. I used to find myself drawn to Aditya because of how gentlemanly he was. But then my feelings shifted toward Aviyaan.

Aditya and Aviyaan never got along too well. Aditya was always cheerful, while Aviyaan had a quick temper, and they often clashed because of it. Despite that, Aditya had always been fun to be around.

I greeted Aditya with a smile, blinking a few times nervously. He returned my smile with his usual confident grin, and we quickly started chatting. It felt natural and easy, as if we had never stopped talking.

As we spoke, my eyes drifted toward the entrance and landed on Aviyaan walking towards us from the office. I hadn't realized how long we had been talking. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him.

Aviyaan paused when his gaze fell on Aditya, who was sitting beside me. I could see a shift in his expression. Aditya must have noticed this too because he looked at Aviyaan and smiled.

Before I knew it, Aditya stood up and pulled Aviyaan into a warm, brotherly hug. Aviyaan didn't hesitate to return it, and the two stood there for a moment, laughing.

Aditya pulled back and looked at Aviyaan with a grin.

"You've gotten more handsome, bro," he said, teasing but friendly. Aviyaan laughed and complimented him back.

Before we could continue, a voice broke into our conversation.

"Hello, everyone," Shanaya said.

We all turned towards her, and I felt the air shift. My heart sank a little as I watched her approach with confidence. And then came the announcement that no one expected-she introduced herself as Aviyaan's wife.

Everyone froze for a moment, caught off guard. Aditya's eyes widened, and I could see the surprise on everyone's face. But no one asked any further questions. We all offered our blessings and wished them happiness, trying to move on from the awkwardness of it all.

Aditya sat back beside me, looking at me out of the corner of his eye. He nudged me lightly with his shoulder, and I looked at him, unsure of what to say. I shook my head slightly, unsure of how to process everything.

We all continued talking, but Shanaya was especially talkative that evening. She dominated the conversation, and Aditya didn't miss a single opportunity to give her subtle side-eyes.

I could feel his gaze, sharp and focused, but I ignored it, focusing instead on the food and the ongoing chatter.

The entire evening felt a little off, like there were layers of unspoken questions and secrets hanging in the air. Yet, we all laughed, shared stories, and tried to make the best of the evening-unaware of what might come next.

Everyone had finished eating, and soon enough, Shahmeer and Sharanvi joined us. The lively group of youngsters quickly made our way to my room because they were eager to play games.

I plopped down on the bed, followed by Sharanvi, Shahmeer, Aditya, Shanaya, and Aviyaan-though I could tell he wasn't exactly thrilled to be part of this whole situation. His disinterest was written all over his face.

"Bhai, I'm so happy for you. And honestly, I'm happy for me, too," Aditya said with a burst of laughter as he flopped next to me, pulling me into a playful shoulder hug.

Aviyaan looked at him with a puzzled, questioning gaze, clearly trying to make sense of his statement.

"I mean," Aditya continued, his grin widening, "now I can flirt with Elaina without you constantly getting in the way. You always had a problem whenever I tried, remember?" He laughed again as he tightened his arm around my shoulder.

I couldn't help but smile, sensing the light-hearted teasing in his tone. Despite his antics, his joy and playfulness lifted the mood in the room.

I chose not to glance at Aviyaan's face in that moment-partially because I didn't want to let his quiet presence cast any kind of shadow over our cheerful vibes, but also because every time I looked at him, I felt a sharp, inexplicable wave of pain rush over me. It was an ache I couldn't shake, no matter how hard I tried.

"shut up," i jerked his hand away playfully.

And soon enough everyone played games, in which Aviyaan's disinterest was clear. We played dumb charades and we all enjoyed alot.

I didn't pay much attention to Aviyaan because i now really want to move on i want all of my suffering, pain to end.

Soon enough we all retreated to our respective rooms and when i was alone, i sat back on the ned but as soon as i was about to move a knock was made on my door,

I opened the door to find, Aditya standing there holding a grin on his face,

"let's go," he said, holding my hand he made me walk with him and we went out of the mansion.

"where?," i asked, he smiled and started the car,

"I genuinely need ice cream and some tea," He said,

"Aurton wali harkatein krna chhod do,"

"Stop doing Woman's things," i said,

We both laughed!

He stopped the car at the ice cream parlor and bought two ice creams, I don't know how he knew my favourite ice cream flavor.

He started the car again and stopped the car at the place where we used to come alot in out childhood,

A wide smile appeared on my face as the nostalgic feeling hit me, we both walked alongside to the place where we used to sit and saw the full view of the town,

"Now tell me what is going on," he asked as soon as we sat down,

"huh,"

"What did Aviyaan do," he asked and i gave him a smile, The smile to hide the null feeling in my chest, to hide the pain that i feel just by thinking about him with someone else

"It is what it is," i said,

"What happened between you too," He questioned again,

"Nothing, he never loved me," i told him,

"He did, i had seen the intense love in his eyes for you," he said eating the spoon filled with ice cream,

"Yeah. did, you had," i said, he nodded and we say quietly eating out ice cream,

"So, you decided to move on then?," he asked, i nodded thou my heart still can't accept it but i need to move on,

"I'm proud of you Elaina, you are so strong," he said and hugged me friendly,

I reciprocated the hug and didn't realize the lone tear that had escaped my eyes despite of the control i have been putting infront of other, only i know how much i felt hurt and betrayed from inside.

After consoling me, which didn't do anything thou he broke the hug and we made our way back after consuming the view inside of us.

We sat in the car and made our way towards our destination, After reaching him and i went inside the house, laughing about something but as soon as we enter our sight fell on aviyaan standing infront of us.

Aditya raised his eyebrow signalling him what happened,

"Where were you both?," he asked, Aditya cleared his throat and said.

"We went to spend some quality time," he said and took my hand with him, i tried to look behind to see him but Aditya turned my face towards him with his hands,

"Goodnight," he said smiling and went away,

What the hell had happened to him? I was dumbfounded but putting that thought away i went inside the room not paying much attention to whatever happened surrounding me..
