PRESENT DAY

A D V I K A

"Advika mails, texts, calls you should have replied to something atleast!
I even visited your home but you know how much your parents didn't want us to be around you and when I still went and asked about you they felt a strange sense of victory over something because they knew about your whereabouts and we didn't when it was always the case other way around.
When they told be that you left for London I thought it is their sick trick to keep you away from us again.
But you didn't return any of my msgs and calls and so I started believing their words truly!", Adnan sighed saying all this and all I could do was look down at my fingers feeling guilty.

"We so badly wanted to be proven right when we thought you would still come back to us!", Rushi voiced his thoughts.

"One sec, but what happened of that guy in the restaurant afterwards?", Adnan asked when I looked up.

"Who? Bhavin? Very honestly, I don't know! I wasn't in contact with anyone over here just a cousin sister of mine knew everything about me in case something wrong happened. She was the one who kept me updated with everything happening here, with my family and even you guys.", I told them hoping they would notice the sincerity in my words.

"But seriously you didn't come back even once in 5 Years??", Rushi asked.

"You know me guys, once I decide something there is no turning back! I went there and instead of staying in the hostel by their rules I preferred a place of my own and so I started living with Rohit after we met during the theatre practices. I wanted freedom from everyone and everything for myself! I didn't do a thing which I didn't want to in these past 5 years and I loved the fact that my parents couldn't force me anymore", I said coldly .

"They are still the same aren't they?", what was to lie to them now as they knew everything so I nodded my head in agreement.

"Are they still very eager to marry you off?", Adnan asked worried.

"Obviously if at the age of 22 they could ask me that why wouldn't they now when they have my age as a strong base for this topic", I really wanted to get married but to the person I love and not to any random guy who would love me for my good looks and fame.

My trance was interrupted by my ringing phone.

"Beta where are you we have guest at our home come soon!", My mom chirped happily in the phone.

"Guest maa?! Seriously? Why do you have guests so late ?", I replied irritated.

"I never said my guest did I?", My smarty mom questioned.

"Come soon and why are you out still when Rohit has already returned long back?", Mom asked when I didn't reply anything.

"That's because I am not glued to Rohit and we are free to go wherever we want without each other", I said this and declined the call knowing where my mother was taking my friendship with Rohit to.

"What's wrong?", Rushi Adnan asked in unison when I turned around from the window after declining the call.

I couldn't burden them right away with my sob stories so I lied smoothly as possible, "nothing just mother India getting worried, I need to leave boys, it was nice meeting you"

Adnan doens't buy my lie and pulls my wrist to make me sit back on the sofa.

"I know it has been long we haven't been in touch but that doesn't mean that we don't understand the look in your eyes", Adnan laughed at by attempt to lie to them.

Yeah nice! I still couldn't lie to them! And how dumb was I to leave these gems behind! They are all I ever needed!

Rushi gave Adnan a hifi and asked me laughing with Adnan the matter.

"It's Rohit., I mean mom dad feel that there is some sort of relationship between me and Rohit, and for a change they don't mind it now! I don't understand what is their motive behind all this, I doubt if it's just my wedding."

"But do you like him so much so as to spend the rest of your life with that dickhead?", I slapped Rushi on his arm but he didn't even feel a thing instead I felt my palm burning.

Ugh how did I forget that I wasn't even half of what Rushi is!

"He is too my friend so stop calling him names in the first place, and as I said he is just a friend and I know he loves me but I don't cause I still love Vishal and that's the thing that I haven't told him yet , he hardly knows anything about who I am, what I am all he knows is only what I showed him in the past years but .....ughhhh", I released a sharp breathe after finishing which i didn't even realise I was holding while saying all that loud.

Wait! What the actual fuck! Did I just say it out loud that I am still in love with Vi....oh fuck no!!!!

"You know what, I need to leave guys", I quickly shoved my phone in my purse and headed to the door while my boys sat there registering what I just said.

I move toward the elevator and stand at its door waiting for it to arrive while wearing my sandals.

"Hey bitch, wait", Adnan calls out to me quickly grabbing his car keys from the basket near the door and slips his shoes on as he reaches for the elevator beside me.

"Adnan I'll be fine you need not-"

"Did I ask you?", He retorted.

Ughhh why did I have to be such a good teacher to him while teaching sarcastic replies!

"Ha then even I didn't ask you to come", I caught him in his own words.

Before he could say anything the elevator door opened and he got inside first before I could stop him and there he bends down to get into his shoes properly waiting for me to enter.

Rushi who was standing at the door says to me, " I hate repeating myself but know knowing that you're dumb, I am telling you again, that we are still always there for you!"

I was at the elevator door but I quickly turned back to give Rushi a hug which I missed for years!

"I know! Thank you bhai (brother)", I said as I snuggled into his warm and secure embrace.

"Go now don't get all scenty with me, you're mom will eat you raw along with us if you get anymore late", He joked to lighten the mood.

"I am a 27 year old and I don't give a fuck what she says okay", I replied sassily flipping my hair for dramatic effect.

This is what they do to me, they pull out the real me pushing aside the ideal woman I am!

"Yeah we know that very well", Rushi's sarcasm didn't go unnoticed by me.

"Oyee, you two long lost siblings can bond later on, now Advika get your dramatic ass in the elevator, how long do you plan to make me the lift man here", Adnan faked his frown at us but we all knew how happy we were right now!

I waved a bye to Rushi and got into the elevator.

"Spending a lot of time with Vishal has made you enough dramatic", I remarked at Adnan and we both laughed at it.

..................................................................
My heart is so happy to have them together 😭❤️

I just love writing their scenes together cause I know how loving these boys are and probably the best guys (this includes Vishal too)

I swear these 3 guys can never make a girl feel uncomfortable, they are only capable of love, care and mischief and loads of fun and happiness!

My love for them is unending, go see on their YouTube channels and you will realize why I love them so much!🥺❤️

Love love 💜
