Aarav's POV

She looked like a fairy tale character in that beautiful saree. We both complemented eachother. She stole my heart when she covered her face and blushed. (Check out my profile pic for the pose than she did #selfpublicity)

The couple looked fantastic together, I was glad that my plan worked. My mom and dad were boasting to everyone that I'm a doctor, typical indian parents. We both got complements for the decoration too.

Overall, the reception went awesome with stealing few glances of eachother time to time. The next thing was bachelor party, all the guys were called to the roof.

Aki pulled me to the roof with him even though I protested, you know why I hate the smell of alcohol. Aki too isn't an alcoholic or anything, he's just a social drinker.

We all sat down on the floor itself and everybody started drinking except me. I was eating all the side dishes in there.

Aki's alcohol tolerance is really low, so after drinking few rounds itself I pulled him to his room. I was told to stay with him for the night for some reason I didn't know.

He was describing Yazhini in a drunken state which I paid the least heed to, a different thing was running in my mind actually about an idea.

I know that Aki wont remember anything the day after if he drinks so... Why don't I ask about Kuttu to him? Like a prank?

I set up the camera and sat on the chair next to him. I was hesitant but asked after gaining some courage," Aki, what would you do if someone came and told you that he likes Kuttu?" I asked.

He thought for a while and said," I dunno Aarav, maybe I'll beat him up into pulp or accept him" he blabbered.

I let out a deep sigh and asked," what if that someone is me?" And was anticipating an answer from him.

He chuckled and told," I trust you more than anything da, you won't do anything of that sort".

Omg this hurts, I'm breaking all the trust his family has for me. I took a deep breathe and said," Sorry da, I think I've fallen for her".

He was silently looking at the floor for sometime but the next moment something totally unexpected happened next.

He stood up and grabbed my collar. "I trusted you and let you inside my house but what you did, you traitor. You know what happened day before yesterday?

My uncle badmouthed about you and Agu being together all the time but my dad and mom stood up against him and said that you're a true trustworthy friend of mine so you won't do anything of that sort.

But you showed your immorality right. You have no forgiveness, don't even try to meet me again. I hate seeing your face now, go away" he told in a go and my eyes glistened tears.

I soon wiped it before he notices and showed him the camera and told that I'm planning to open a prank channel. He was stunned for a second but when he realised it, he hugged me and laughed out loud.

But I wasn't able to laugh merrily cause my heart was filled with guilt. I realised my love for her in the few days but I realised one more thing too, trust - the trust my friend and his family has on me.

He spoke like this even when he's under the influence of alcohol, I can't imagine what will happen if he a sober. I'm also scared about uncle and aunt, what if they come to know about this ?

Whatever happens, I won't break it till the end of my life. Moreover, Kuttu also doesn't seem to love me so... It's better to bury my love for her deep inside my heart and move on in life. I'm choosing my friendship of years over my love of few weeks.

The next day, I pasted a happy smile on my face and mingled with everyone but my heart wasn't at rest. I saw her few times, I felt like looking at her again and again but I supressed my feelings and ignored her.

Her face fell when she realised that I'm intentionally ignoring her, which clenched my heart but I assured myself that it is for good of us and everyone around us.

My flight was a few days later but I preponed it and hurried to Muscat. That's it, I won't be meeting her again and everything will be back to normal 😒 this is what I thought but hell no.

Agalya's POV

In the evening of Aki's wedding, I was searching for Aarav all around the house but he was nowhere to be found. After searching for an hour, I was tired and sat on a chair in the lawn.

A lot of boring rituals were taking place inside but I didn't want to attend any. Suddenly, Bobby's mom crossed by. I ran to her and asked," Aunty did you see Bob... I mean Aarav?".

"Oh you don't know ma. He got an emergency call from his hospital so he took the next to Muscat. He must be on the flight now" she told.

My heart sank a little, I thought I would enjoy few more days with him. I masked my dissapointment with a smile and thanked her.

Aki had to report to the hospital in just 2 days, so we bid bye to my grandparents and started to Muscat the next day itself.

The day without him was really boring, I had no one to rescue me from the relatives and buy me food.

From the wedding trip, I understood few things
1. I love him madly
2. He too has a soft corner for me or more of crush sort (girls have the special power to know whether a guy likes them or not)
3. The sooner I propose, the better it is

First of all, I need to speak to Yazhu about all this. I've no idea how she's gonna react to all this but she'll come to know about this one day or the other right.

I went and knocked Aki's *correction* their room door. This is the first time I'm knocking his room. Thank god, I knocked cause

She opened the door with her saree wrinkled and Aki running into the restroom. Shit wrong timing.

I gave a mixture of awkward smile and I-know-it-all smirk. She slapped my arm and I told," ah it hurts. I'm sorry for disturbing, come to my room once you finish with your work". She nodded shyly and I came to my room not before teasing her with a wink.

After an hour, she opened my room door and sat on my bed saying,"spill the beans"

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
