CHEATING ON ME!!!

Sophia:

"Mention not!"

Nick:

"So, all sorted now? Can I call the girls over?"

Abhi:

"Yeah, sure."

Rocky:

"I'm just wondering what Daniel might be doing right now…"

Nick:

"Shut up. You don't need to worry about them at all."

(I took my phone and called Tia, asking her to bring everyone back.)

Krish:

"Bro, when did you even ask for her number?"

Nick:

"Bro, it's Nick's tricks — you won't get it."

Nick (teasing):

"Abhi, tell me — when are you going to take her down?!"

Abhi:

"What do you mean by that?"

Nick:

"Obviously… when are you two going to do what Daniel is doing right now? And how far have you already gone?"

Abhi:

"Haven't I told you before?! We're just getting married. There's nothing between us — at least not at this moment. I'm trying really hard to get close to her, but she just doesn't let me. There was one moment when she was drunk — I had a chance then — but I didn't want to take advantage of her...

So, it turned out this way. And here we are now."

Tia:

"Ishana, relax. He's not going to think anything bad about you — I can assure you of that. And you know the good part about guys? They don't overthink like we do.

But we — the moment we get a little free time — our minds go into full overthinking mode!"

(I got a call from Nick — he told me to come back.)

Tia (to the girls):

"Guys, everything's sorted now. We can head back."

Ishana:

"Okay…"

Tia:

(We were walking back to their side, chatting about Pooja. Mid-conversation, we reached where everyone was sitting. But suddenly, the air felt different…

I looked at them from a distance and — HOLY SHIT — what did I just see?!)

Tia (shouting):

"ABHI, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

(Everyone started to stare at me. But I was so annoyed — I had been telling Ishana to like a guy like him. I was taking his side. And now I was ashamed of myself.)

A FEW MINUTES AGO:

Sophia:

"Abhi, you want to thank me right now for helping you out, right?"

Abhi:

"Yeah, that's right…"

Sophia:

(I stood up, went close to him, and sat on his lap. He was so shocked by my actions — he could barely utter a word.)

"So, how about thanking me with a kiss?"

Nick:

"Sophia! What do you think you're doing?!"

Abhi:

"What nonsense is this, Sophia? Just get off me. I don't like this kind of stuff!"

(When Sophia said that to me, I got angry. I barely managed to control myself from insulting or hurting her.)

Elsa:

"Sophia, don't you think you should get off him? This is so unlike you."

Sophia:

"Why won't you kiss me?! Am I not worthy of you?!

I really like you — that's why I've been with you all these years.

How can you not realize this?"

Abhi:

"First, get off me before I do something I'll regret.

Second, I never knew you had feelings for me like that.

And lastly, I'm sorry...

I like someone else."

(Just then, I heard someone shouting behind me. I turned my head — and it was Ishana standing there.

I pushed Sophia off my lap and ran toward Ishana to explain.)

Ishana:

(We were walking toward where Abhi was. In a moment, we reached the place, and I saw Abhi sitting on a chair.

But I sensed something was wrong... and then I noticed — a girl was sitting on Abhi's lap.

WHAT?! A girl?? And he had been talking about his love for me?!

I couldn't believe it. I thought he wasn't this kind of guy...

I better leave before I create a scene.

I turned and started walking toward the exit.)

Abhi:

"Ishana! Ishana!! It's not what you think! Wait!

Please — it's really not like that! Listen—"

(I ran after her, but she wasn't looking at me. She wasn't even listening. Her friends stopped me from following her.)

Tia:

"Stop right there, Abhi. She doesn't want to see your face at all."

Abhi:

"It's a misunderstanding! Let me explain it to her!"

(Her friend wasn't even willing to hear me out. I wanted to get to Ishana as fast as possible, but she wasn't letting me pass.

I looked back at Nick and signaled him to take care of Tia.)

Nick:

(I understood what Abhi wanted. I went to Tia, gently grabbed her hands, and stepped in to let Abhi go.)

Nick:

"Tia, listen — it's really a misunderstanding. Let him go. I'll explain it to you later."
