In the previous chapter....📚🖋️📑

After the award function Ishaan went to drop Avantika home. As she got down from the car, they shared a romantic moment where they were about to kiss each other, but before that Ishaan turned his face away, thinking that Avantika was drunk and it won't be right to do so. When Avantika didn't feel the touch of Ishaan's lips, she opened her eyes and out of awkwardness ran towards her building...

Continued.....🖋️📑📑📚

As Ishaan returned home, hundreds of questions were swirling in his mind. "Was what he did right? Did he make a mistake by not responding to Avantika's advances? Did he just lose his most precious moment like that?" In this dilemma, he found himself asking questions and answering them himself.

Upon arriving home, he saw Vaibhav waiting for him at the door. As Ishaan entered, Vaibhav immediately grabbed him and seated him on the sofa.

Vaibhav's excitement was clearly visible; he wanted to know everything from Ishaan. In his excitement, he asked, "How did it go, bro... I want to know everything." Ishaan smiled and said, "Bro, let me catch a breath."

Vaibhav then said, "Come on, hurry up, I can't control myself." In the next few minutes, Ishaan told him everything, from the mishap with Avantika's dress zipper to the almost kissing moment they shared.

After listening to everything, Vaibhav paused for a moment, thinking. Vaibhav said, "Man, are you crazy? You let such a big moment slip away just like that. Avantika herself wanted to kiss you, and you..." 

Interrupting, Ishaan explained, "Bro, she's still in a relationship with Rohan, and besides, she was a bit drunk. It just didn't feel right to kiss her."  Vaibhav nodded, and said "Hmm... from that perspective, you did the right thing. I couldn't think straight in my excitement. But, bro, no matter what, our plan was successful.

Avantika has developed feelings for you." Ishaan replied, "I don't know, yaar. I can't understand if these feelings are for me or just because of Rohan's neglect. Rohan is the biggest obstacle in my life. He neither treats her properly nor lets her be mine."

With a smile, Vaibhav said, "Well, I have something that could solve your problem."

Bewildered, Ishaan asked, "What do you mean?" Vaibhav elaborated, "Yes, bro, I have something in hand that guarantees Rohan and Avantika will break up."

Ishaan exclaimed, "What are you saying? Avantika would never break up with him, no matter what"

Vaibhav assured, "After seeing this, she definitely will..."

With that, Vaibhav sent a number of photos to Ishaan. As Ishaan looked at his phone, his eyes widened in disbelief. The photos showed Rohan with various girls in compromising scenarios—be it on beaches, by swimming pools, or at parties—clearly showing that he was cheating on Avantika.

Ishaan couldn't believe what he was seeing. Ishaan looked at the photos for a while, then, after thinking for a bit....

Ishaan: (Putting his hand on his forehead) "What the hell... This bastard Rohan... (he stopped speaking as if he didn't have words)

 Vaibhav: "Yes, bro. He's quite a playboy..."

 Ishaan: (Thinking for a moment) "But how did you get these photos?"

 Vaibhav: "Remember the day you told me your melodrama? I started digging into his life that very day. A few days ago, I checked his Instagram Story and found out he was going to Goa, I understood he wouldn't be doing any spiritual practices there..." 

Ishaan : (Interrupting him) "But how did you get these pictures?" 

Vaibhav : (with a confident smile on his face) "I have a friend in the Goa Police, I told him everything and put him on Rohan's trail. Rohan unwittingly completed the rest." 

Ishaan: "I feel like going and breaking Rohan's face... How could he do this... Avantika loves him so much, and he..." 

Vaibhav: "Yes, that's true... but when Rohan will break her heart, only then your chance will come. I know you might be eager to thank me, but there's no need for that." 

Ishaan: "Thanks for what? I don't understand, whether I should be happy or sad? I know you did all this to help me but...." 

Vaibhav: "But what ? I made your job so easy, and you're still thinking. What's the problem now... go quickly and show Avantika his true face..." 

Ishaan: "And what do you think... she'll be very happy after this? She'll break up with him and propose to me immediately? She's not that kind of girl... also it may seem like I myself want to break them up. I can't take the risk of damaging my friendship with her." 

Vaibhav: "If you'll fear so much, how she'll be yours? And for a second ...forget all this, you'll hide the truth from her? You'll let Rohan cheat on her like this? Right now, as a friend it's your responsibility to tell her the truth." 

Ishaan: "I don't understand anything, man... I think doing anything right now may be hasty... If I suddenly tell her, she would be shocked. I don't even know how she will react? Maybe it'll affect our friendship..."

 Vaibhav: "So what then?" 

Ishaan: "I'll wait for the right time, until then I'll subtly keep dropping hints to her, so that she herself starts doubting a bit, and it'll be better if she finds out the truth on her own." 

Vaibhav: "Don't think too much, man, just go and tell her."

 Ishaan: "No matter how much I want to do it... this just doesn't feel right. I don't wanna be that guy... who breaks up a relationship for his own benefit ... this ain't me." 

Vaibhav: "Alright, Ishaan, as you wish. You're smart enough to handle this. Just make sure you don't wait too long..."

Saying this, Vaibhav went towards his room. On the other hand, Ishaan kept looking at the photos repeatedly and debaed himself, what he should do?

Should he tell Avantika the truth or should he talk to Rohan directly? He also felt sorry for her. Lost in this dilemma, he didn't realize when he fell asleep....

The next morning at 7:30...

Avantika's phone alarm rang for the 5th time, finally waking her up. With half-opened eyes, she looked at her phone, it was 7:30... she wanted to sleep more but she also had to go to the office, so somehow she got up and headed towards the bathroom. Due to the hangover from last night's vodka, she had a slight headache.

She washed her face with cold water... which made her feel a little better. Coming back, she checked her phone, there were a lot of messages from her colleagues and friends congratulating her on winning the award . Once again, she looked at her award and smiled.

She remembered the moment when the host announced her as the winner... remembering all this, she once again picked up her award and stood in the same pose, in front of the mirror, repeating her speech... at the end of her speech, as soon as she mentioned Ishaan's name... she remembered that moment when she was about to kiss him...

As she remembered all this, she felt butterflies in her stomach, she was smiling. She had a blush on her face and also felt a sudden urge to meet him. But suddenly she asked herself... "What are you thinking, Avantika? What are you doing? This can't happen... Even thinking about someone other than Rohan is wrong..." 

After that, the happiness on her face turned into seriousness, as if there was a conflict going on in her mind. On one side was Rohan... her childhood love, for whom she has always been crazy... and on the other side her heart has started creating the place for Ishaan. Is it right to feel like this? Isn't it unfair to Rohan to have such feelings? While thinking all this, she started getting ready for the office...
