Anyways- here's a new story about our fav couple Ishqaan 💕- 

=====================================================================

Context: What if Ahaan accepted his love for Ishqi and then learnt about Mayank's character before the wedding? What if he helped Ishqi back out from the wedding? What about Rhea? Love? Family? Society? 

This is a vv random story idea but hope y'all enjoy it!!! 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was the much awaited night of the two weddings, even though Ahaan was elated for Sonu's marriage he felt disconsolate for Ishqi and Mayank's. He sat by the poolside, confused as to why he was hurting- "I should be happy for my best friend" but he couldn't convince his heart that today was the day Ishqi would belong to Mayank forever, killing any changes of her being his- 

He knew Ishqi wasn't happy with this wedding either, she had confessed that she didn't feel anything for Mayank- 

"Mayank ke liye kuch nahi hota- Aap ke liye hota hai"

Ahaan (inner voice): What is this?! Both me and Ishqi are committed but we don't love our respective partners...We...we love...each other..

Yes- finally, finally Ahaan had accepted his love for Ishqi, she held a special place in his heart that no one could take...ever. 

"But...but it's too late now....You took too long Ahaan"...he sighed and a lone tear dropped from his eye- 

He had never desired anything for himself, it was always for his family but this time he begged god for a miracle, something...anything to cancel this wedding. "Pleaseee"- He promised to never ask for anything after he got Ishqi..he just wanted Ishqi. 

Just then his phone rang, it was Mayank- he quickly wiped his tears and answered the call- 

"Hello Ahaan- I'm busy getting ready so can you go into my room and get the necklace I've placed on my dresser and please go give it to Ishqi? I want her to wear it for our wedding tonight..

"A chance to meet Ishqi...akhri baar hi sahi before she's no longer JUST Ishqi..."

"Oh-okay, I'll give it- don't worry"

He cut the call and rushed inside the resort, while he was passing by a room he heard Mayank and his friend Akash having a serious talk- "What could they be talking about?" - Curiosity got the best of him and he moved closer to the room to listen in on their conversation-

Mayank: What do you mean ke phone ko repair hone mein ek aur din laage ga? he angrily said 

"Do you know much efforts I put in to drug her on the night of the party, those photos are the only way of blackmailing her....I need them before the wedding starts...I DON'T CARE...DO WHATEVER..JUST GET THAT PHONE FIXED"- he yelled  

Ahaan (inner voice): OMGGG....what the fudge did I just hear?!!....Mayank misbehaved with a girl and now he's blackmailing her?! Oh noo....Now I'm surely NOT going to let Ishqi get married to this jerk...but mein karun bhi toh kya??....Should I talk to Ishqi?....Yes, it's not like she's happy with this marriage anyways... 

Ahaan bolted over to Ishqi's bedroom just as her Maasi was exiting the room... The door sprung open and he saw Ishqi looking like the most beautiful being he'd ever seen.."Gorgeous" he whispered under his breath- Just as their eyes locked the world seemed to pause for a bit, it felt like they were the only two people in the dreamland they'd created far away from reality. 

Ishqi had butterflies in her stomach by the way Ahaan was looking at her, she too wished a miracle would happen and she wouldn't have to marry Mayank but she kept her feelings buried under her responsibilities- 

Ishqi: Gi AVM- aapko koi kaam tha? she tried to appear calm but his gaze was killing her, she knew it wouldn't be long before the "happiness" facade she was putting in front of everyone broke in front of him-

Without breaking eye contact Ahaan walked into her room and locked the door behind them- She trusted him so she didn't care... 

Ahaan walked towards her and motioned her to sit on the bed, "Ishqi I need to talk to you about something"- the tone of his voice indicated that it was something serious- 

Ishqi sat beside him and he took her hands in his- 

"Yeh naam teen banda mean ke dimaag mein chal kya raha hai"

Ahaan cleared his throat and spoke, "Ishqi...I need to tell you something very important about Mayank"

Ishqi nodded, signalling him to continue- "Ishqi- I was just passing by Akash's room when I overheard his and Mayank's conversation.....he's not a good person Ishqi...he..he misbehaved with a girl on the night of the party and he's been blackmailing her with photos ever since..." he finished 

Ishqi sat there in shock, she instantly knew it was Sonu, "How could he? How could Mayank do that to his best friend's sister?! "Oh.My.God" she mumbled 

Ahaan: Ishqi I know this is very hard news to digest and you may not even believe me, but..

Ishqi cut him off, "I believe you Ahaan"

Ishqi: Yeh shaadi nahi ho sakti...I'm sorry AVM mein yeh shaadi nahi kar sakti...I know ke aap ke liye family saab kuch hai lekin I can't- 

Ahaan: Are you kidding me Ishqi...Tumhe lagta hai ke I would be angry with you for not marrying a jerk like Mayank? Balke mein toh bohot khush houn ke tumhari shaadi Mayank jaise creep ke saath nahi horahi..mein toh yehi chahata tha... he bit his tongue knowing he'd said way too much 

Ishqi: Yehi chahata tha matlab? she questioned him 

Ahaan: Woh- um...I meant ke..

Ishqi laughed, "Arrey don't worry- mein bhi chahati thi ke yeh shaadi kissi tarah se toot jaiye but AVM aab mein kya karun?"

Ahaan: Mein nahi Ishqi...Hum...I'm with you in this, he smiled 

Ishqi smiled gratefully, "Pata nahi meine pichle janam mein kya accha kaam kiya ke meri life mein AVM aaye" 

Before she could control herself she asked, "AVM- can I please hug you?"

The innocence on her face made his heart melt, "How can you say no Ahaan" - He opened his arms wide, she jumped right into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist- He too held her close- 

"Yeh meri life ka best pal hai..isse thodi der aur chalne dijiye na" echoed in his head. He knew it was the best pal of his life as well and he tightened his grip on her waist, trying to hold onto the moment for as long as he could- 

After a few moments there was a knock on the door and the duo broke from their trance- 

Ishqi called out, "Kon hai" 

"It's me Rhea, Ishqi" 

Ishqi's eyes widened, she looked at Ahaan- who had the calmest expression on his face- 

Ishqi: Ahaan, aapki girlfriend hai darwaze per- she whispered, panicked

Ahaan: Toh? he said casually 

Ishqi: TOH? toh? Agar meine darwaza khol diye toh usse bura laage ga humein ek saath ek room mein dekh ke- 

Ahaan: Calm down Ishqi...don't worry, open the door and I'll deal with Rhea- and anyways- humein iss room se bahar toh jaana hai na and we'll need help from Kartik in breaking your marriage with Mayank- Right?

She nodded- "Okay I guess"

Ahaan walked towards the door and opened it- 

Rhea: Ahaan? Tum yaha kya kar rahe ho? Yeh toh Ishqi ka room hai na- she asked sternly 

Ahaan: Yes yeh Ishqi ka room hai and I just came here because I had something important to tell her- 

Rhea: But baatein saab ke samne bhi toh ho sakti hai na? Room lock karne ki kya zaroorat thi? she questioned him 

Ahaan: Yes, but jo baat meine karni thi uss mein baaki logon ka koi kaam nahi tha...It didn't concern anyone else so meine unke samne batana zaroori nahi samajha- 

Rhea: Okay- agar logon ko batana zaroori nahi tha at least mujhe toh baata sakte ho?

Ahaan: Rhea- I've already said that yeh mere aur Ishqi ki beech ki baat hai and there is no need for you to get involved- 

Rhea: But Ahaan I'm your girlfriend....You should share things with me.. 

Ahaan: Rhea- I'm not in the mood to argue right now..Me and Ishqi have some important work to do, so please excuse us-

Rhea: But-

"Ishqi" he yelled 

Ishqi: Ky-kya hua AVM?

Ahaan: Chalo- he grabbed her hand and led her out of the hall leaving a jealous Rhea behind- 

Rhea: (inner voice): What the hell has happened to Ahaan?! Jab mein yaha nahi thi tab msg aur phone per mujhe "Ishqi" bolata tha and now that I'm here he's ignoring me and spending all his time with Ishqi....Inn dono ke beech chal kya raha hai? Kahin pyaar toh...nahi....aisa nahi ho sakta...Ishqi's getting married in a few hours...I need to convince Ahaan for aur marriage ASAP cuz if he leaves me then mein iss haal kahan joungi...I need to do something...

Meanwhile Ishqi was surprised at how Ahaan dealt with Rhea, "Girlfriend hai koi mazak thori na jo aise usse chod ke bhaag gaye....Inki harkaton se lagta toh nahi hai ke yeh Rhea se pyaar karte hai...humesha usse bhaagte hai.....Ishqi...tu haans kyun rahi hai...you should feel bad for Rhea, but....but I liked how he held my hand in front of her without caring about the consequences..Par aisa toh nahi hona chahiye, bhale hi aab meri shaadi nahi horahi but Ahaan is still committed..it wouldn't be right, but why does it feel so right despite being wrong?...Yeh ho kya raha hai mummy??!

Ishqi: AVM yeh kya kar rahe hai aap??

Ahaan: Ishqi...Calm down, have a little faith in me

....Just a little faith 🌙
