Ashi's pov

I've had a bad week. Scratch that, I've had the suckiest week possible and even though it's Friday and shoot will be over in an hour or two, I feel like I've been going through this for eons.

I'd been living the dream recently what with Randeep in my life and all. He is the perfect, perfect most attentive boyfriend you could ask for. The fact that even he failed to be with me right now just makes the situation all the more worse.

Esha called me two hours back and asked me if I was okay?, I repeat, she asked me if I was okay? Does that mean the universe knows what is going on between me and Randeep?

After what happened in the past esha realised her folly and played a big role in being my protective big sis. Whatever. She told me that she would be there if I need someone to talk with. It's funny how she changed from snatching my man to helping us get together. But the reason she called me is to spill the beans that she saw Randeep arriving at Zain's place just when she was about to leave. So probably Zain and esha must have been discussing about us.

All these scenes might look some soap melodrama show aired on some low rated tv channel which I used to cringe a lot about, But it's bewildering experiencing it in real life.

I have just enough time to stop looking like a panting dog before the door opens. I try to hide the disappointment when I see zain. Its okay, I tell myself. Randeep must be asleep. He won't be waiting for me, dying to open the door when I show up.

It's all good.

"Hey Ashi. Andar aao na" Zain smiles at me kindly and lets me in. Taking me by surprise, he engulfs me in a warm hug and I hug him back. I badly needed a hug right now. He's been such a rock for me lately.

Not just me in fact.

He helped me and his best friend throughout our journey. He made Randeep realise his feelings for me at one point. And whenever I needed someone to support me he's always been there.

Things that happened by for the last few days is such a blur to all us but I remember him taking care of randeep and allowing him to deal with his problem

So it's good to be here with him, letting him comfort me. I think about my own brother who's reportedly travelling to another city for the chef request. He went from being a great supporting brother to a good, partially there listener to a stranger.

We sit down on the living room couch and my eyes wander around the room on their own accord. My sensor isn't blaring out signals. I know even before he tells me that he's not around. My heart sinks, stomach turns, eyes water.

"Ashi?" He meets my gaze. "Wo sirf paanch minute pehle gaya" I feel gutted, like things are spiraling out of control and I don't have a way to stop them from doing so.

"Use kya hua? Wo aisa kyon behave kar raha hai? Aap sab kuch jaante hona?"

He sighs, "I don't think I'm in a position to tell you everything, Ashi...par main bas itana bata sakata hoon ki please use mat chhodo Wo tumase bohot pyaar karta hai..."

What is it with everyone using gibberishes with me? It's definitely no use asking about the details to zain. They follow some kind of bro codes, whatsoever, Huh.

He tired making some lame reasons and tried to make me feel better but No, it didn't make me feel better. One whole day. A full twenty four hours for randeep to figure out his problems didn't make situation better
