| AUTHOR'S POV |

"I won't be able to do it. I- I really can't."

"You'll be. Just go for it. Trust me. Trust yourself."

"Exactly. I trust myself that I won't be able to do it. Let's drop this idea."

"You've got good looks. Be a little confident and everything will be set."

"And I can't be confident. I've always struggled with that and what makes you think that I'll be able to pull this off!? I'm telling you this will be a disaster."

"Ayansh! Stop being paranoid. There's nothing to lose anyways. Show a little faith on yourself." He pleaded.

Ayansh resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "This is insane."

"You've to do it."

"Fine."

"So our hopeless guy actually fell in love at first sight!?" Neha asked completely amused.

Dhruv playfully wrapped an arm around Neha's shoulders and said, "Shocking but true. He told us two days back although it's been a week since he saw her for the first time and was clean bowled by her beauty."

"Will you guys stop teasing?" Ayansh gritted out, not removing his eyes from the packet of chips in his hands, his face flushed.

Kabir swatted away Dhruv's arm and warned, "Stop being touchy with my girlfriend."

Dhruv pointed a finger towards him. "She has been my best friend long before she became your girlfriend." He snarled.

Ayansh tuned himself out of the conversation. He was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and lying on another chair in front. He was munching on the chips and a frustrated groan escaped his mouth when he realised that he had emptied the contents of the packet. The sound attracted the audience's attention who had deviated from the main topic of discussion.

"Sorry. We got distracted." Neha mumbled sheepishly.

"Should I bring you another packet of chips?" Dhruv asked carefully earning a glare from both Neha and Kabir.

Ayansh whipped his head towards him and stared blankly before his shoulders slumped defeatedly. "Nevermind. It's not reducing my stress anyways."

Kabir went near him and pulled the chair which made Ayansh's legs to drop on the ground and his body to jerk forward slightly although Kabir neither noticed nor was apologetic about it. Ayansh sighed.

"Why are you being so nervous? Just go and tell her that you like her. That's it. It's not like you're asking her hand for marriage. It's normal. People confessing their feelings and all." Kabir said casually.

"There's nothing normal about it." Ayansh opposed sternly. "Randomly approaching someone and telling that you like her? What's normal about it? What if I get slapped or something?"

"Chill out, will you?" Kabir gave him a weird look. "I confessed my feelings to Neha directly and look where we're now." He looked at his girlfriend and winked while she shook her head.
