Here's part 22, hope ya'll enjoy it!

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

---
"BEEP BEEP" the sound of the alarm clock woke Ahaan up, he rubbed his bleary eyes and upon not finding Ishqi by his side he freaked out. "Ishqi?" he called out- He turned and saw a note sitting on the pillow. He unfolded it, it read: Good-morning! And thanks Ahaan, I'm in my room now so don't go around looking for me. See you in a bit. ~ Ishqi-

A smile crossed his lips and he got dressed, packed his stuff and headed downstairs to have breakfast before they all left for their separate houses.

Meanwhile Ishqi was also in her room packing her stuff- although she was busy packing her brain was still on Ahaan, she now felt more confused than ever. "Ahaan.....this guy is going to drive me insane one day" she mumbled- "ISHQI!" she scolded herself- "Abhi iss baare mein mat soch, ghar jaake jitna soochna hai soochna but abhi nahi" she strictly told herself. Ishqi finished packing and headed downstairs. 

As soon as she entered the breakfast hall Raina engulfed her in a tight hug, "Thank you Ishqi!!"

Ishqi: Arrey! Your welcome but kis baat ka thank you?

Raina: Teri wajah se humari shaadi itni grand aur memorable baani, thanks Ishqi-

Ishqi: Aww! You and Ryan are two of my best friends aur humare beech ki policy hai ke no sorries and no thank you's, okay?

Raina: Yaar Ishqi! Tu best hai- 

Ishqi giggled, "I know"- 

Then Ishqi took a seat on the breakfast table, her eyes searched for someone whose eyes were already on her. Their eyes met and they just stared at each other for a moment. Ishqi and Ahaan snapped out of their moment with the staff serving them breakfast, Ishqi shot him a smile and started eating her breakfast which consisted of an iced coffee and fruit bowl. 

Zain: Waise guys, aaj ke baad hum saab pata nahi kaab ek saath mile so we should plan something out so we stay in touch-

Tanya: Haan! Good Idea-

Kartik: Next week holi hai so we can all meet up at our house then, we always host a big holi celebration-

Preesha: Yes!! I love Holi- What do you say guys??

Elina: Count me in!

Raina: Me too! 

Ahaan: Hmm, Ishqi? And you?

Ishqi: I'll for sure come but..

Ahaan: But?

Aryan: Ishqi holi nahi khelti- 

Kartik/Sonu/Ahaan: KYA??? they all said surprised- "The Ishqi whose favourite festival used to be Holi, who got me to apply color onto her doesn't play holi anymore?! What??!" Ahaan thought confused while looking at Ishqi-

Raj: Ishqi? You used to love holi-

Ishqi shrugged, "Shayad iss baar kheloun but I don't know"

Ishqi: Anyways guys, chalte hai now- Ghar pounchte pounchte six to seven hours toh laage ge-

Everyone was about to get up when Kartik glanced over at Ahaan and whispered in his ear, "Bhaii!!! Kuch kijiye, warna toh bhabhi Aryan ke saath chali jaigi-"

"NO" Ahaan mentally said- "ISHQI!" he shouted before she exited the hall. 

Ishqi turned around, "Gi?"-

Ahaan: Wohhh, tum please mere- I mean humarey saath aajao-

Ishqi smiled, "It's okay Ahaan, mein aapni car lai houn- I'll manage"

Ahaan: Mein aajao tumhare saath? W-woh actually mujhe maa aur Aaishaan se bhi milna hai-

Ishqi: Oh um- sure!---So aap, mein, Aryan aur Preesha ek car mein chale jaate hai- 

Ahaan: Okay!

Aryan/Preesha: Hmm okay- 

They all finished with their breakfast and went into their cars' (I'm just gonna focus on Ishqaan + Aryan/Preesha's car)- 

The 4 sat in the car with Ishqi and Preesha in the backseat, Ahaan driving and Aryan in the passenger seat. Ahaan kept stealing glancing at Ishqi whose eyes were already on him- but Ishqi was too deeply engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice his glances. 

There was silence spread in the car, Ishqi was too mentally preoccupied to make small-talk while Ahaan and Aryan disliked each other and Preesha leaned against the car door and dozed off to sleep with her earphones plugged in. 

Ishqi's phone started to ring bringing her back into reality, she answered the call, "Hello, hmm okay...I don't know...yes I know but now I'm not sure...okay..I'll let you know by tomorrow morning, bye!" she spoke on the phone. 

"Aab kya karun?!" Ishqi wondered and hung up the call, she glanced over at Ahaan and their eyes met in the rearview mirror, coincidentally Aryan turned the music up without noticing Ishqi and Ahaan's eye-lock. (Also, red light thi and they were stuck in vv slow moving traffic so don't worry Ahaan Ishqi ki gadhi nahi tokne waala tha 😂)- 

Radio: "Ishk Par Zor Nahi" ~ Love cannot be controlled or denied and this next song is dedicated to those who've fell deeply in love with the most unexpected person. 

A smile crossed both their lips, they felt as if the radio host was talking about them and oh how destiny was playing it's games! It was like the stars wanted Ishqi and Ahaan to be the ones to listen to this part. 

Chale Na Zor Ishk Pe, Thoda Sa Aur Ishk Pe
Kareinge Gaur Ishk Pe, Yeh Dard Hai Yah Hai Dawa
Hota Yahi Hai Har Dafa, Chahe Jisse Woh Hi Kaafa
Kaisa Ajab Hai Pal Safa, Kissa Humara
Mahiyaa, Mahiyaa, Maahiya, Maahiya

The beautiful song played while a smile lingered upon both their lips, Just then the traffic staring moving but their car was still at cycle speed, Aryan noticed this and looked over at Ahaan who was staring at the rear-view mirror, he turned around and saw Ishqi looking at the rear-view mirror as well. He understood that they were sharing a moment and he didn't like it one bit!

He shut the radio off and loudly said, "THANK GOD TRAFFIC CHALI"- Ishqi and Ahaan jerked back into reality and Ahaan put his focus towards the road and starting driving at an appropriate speed again. 

Ahaan grinned, he felt as if the old days were returning. It felt like he was getting his happiness, his Ishqi back. Kartik's words echoed in his head, "Love stories mein saab ek dusre ki help karte hai, kismat bhi"-  Kartik was right! Luck was on their side now...This time nothing was going to stop Ishqaan's reunion, or so they thought.
