"Uff!", Ayaan lamented when the ball missed the basket and landed on the ground, watching this Ahana was a little surprised and confused too.

Confused because she was feeling something different in Ishaan but couldn't put a finger on it. Can it be the palpitations she wasn't feelings but then how could it be that her two-month-old-feelings for this brown-haired shy guy who has suddenly become confident suddenly disappeared?

'There was something off. But what?'  she thought to herself but continued playing nonetheless.

After many shoots missed, "What happened to your shoots?", Ahana asked.

Now it was Ayaan who got confused, why is talking she as if she knows me?', he thought.

"What happened?", he queried pausing his dribbling and turning towards the girl in front of him.

Ahana looked at him as if he said 'ghosts are real' but answered him, "You were good this morning when we were playing in school...",

And Ayaan felt the bulb of his brain light up, he understood,"...and you seem distracted, it's okay if you don't want to play"

"Wait.Wait.Wait", Ayaan interrupted to which Ahana stopped rambling, "You got it all wrong, I am-".

"Ayaan!", came a familiar voice, and both of them turned to find Ishaan standing there sporting his signature brown-hair, a confused expression on his face. His eyes met Ayaan's and then they both looked at a bewildered Ahana, standing with her mouth agape.

"What the fudge?"

"What!?!", asked Saloni in a slightly loud voice from the other side of the phone call.

"Yes, His name is Ayaan. You know I couldn't believe my eyes when I watched both of them together", answered Ahana.

"Then why he never told m-uh-us ?", Saloni asked again.

"There must be some reason", answered Abhaya who was also in the phone call along with Dev.

Even though having a twin wasn't big of a deal but Ahana couldn't wrap the situation around her brain that her three-month-old crush had a twin brother. Now, w-would her feelings for Ishaan change? Is there a possibility she would start developing feelings for Ayaan since they looked the same but then looks weren't all that mattered.

Moreover, she didn't like that certain brown-haired guy for his looks who was beautiful in her eyes but because of his calm demeanor as if silently telling her 'I am here and always will be', his beautiful amber eyes who were so striking that she finds it impossible to stare at them for a long time afraid she might get hypnotized and confess everything, his soothing voice which would make any cold heart melt and those butterflies he used to make her feel whenever he was near her.

No. No one in the world, not even his identical twin brother, but only Ishaan could make her feel like this, the one and only Ishaan.

"He said the question never arised", Ahana answered recalling the event to which everyone nodded.
