| AUTHOR'S POV |

Inaaya, Alisha and Nikita were sitting in the cafe opposite their college in the evening the next day. Alisha was filling up Nikita with the incident that had happened which had managed to keep Inaaya's mood sour since then. Nikita dramatically gasped when Alisha was done narrating.

"No wonder she hasn't talked about her favourite topic which is Niki's exclusive upcoming marriage since the morning." Alisha commented and although Nikita wanted to admonish her she couldn't help but let out a chuckle at that.

Inaaya hissed at her. "I can't believe that you're against me even in this. For once I really thought we would be on the same side for fucks sake!" She said exasperatedly.

Alisha shook her head dismissively. She turned towards Nikita and asked her. "Tell me honestly if you think she's overreacting or not?"

Nikita moved her gaze between the two, contemplating her reply carefully. "I wasn't present when this incident took place so I don't think I'm in the position to form an opinion over it."

"Stop acting diplomatic and just say you don't want to take sides." Inaaya chastised her and moved back to focus on eating her fries.

"Stop being grumpy." Alisha snatched away her fries. "He wasn't some creep. He just came and expressed his feelings which I think is a little foolish rather than anything else. That's it. Apart from that, he was really nice to you and even apologised to you."

"And how do you know that he wasn't a creep? Or some lucha lafanga? Just cause he was wearing nice clothes?" Inaaya questioned sarcastically.

"He's Ayansh Mehra." Alisha said in a patronizing tone.

"Hate to agree that his name sounds really good but that doesn't prove your point."

"Inaaya!" Nikita whined and hit her friend's forehead slightly. "He's the brother of Rahul Mehra, the one who had been the special guest in our last week seminar."

Inaaya opened her mouth to speak and then closed it like a fish. "That's even worse," she said after a moment of thought. "Imagine having such a reputed brother, family and then doing such cheap actions. Shameful. Horrible." She criticized.

Alisha and Nikita looked at each other and both shook their heads at the same time. Inaaya wasn't going to leave the matter soon. Neither was she going to let the incident leave her.

"Excuse us? Inaaya Rai?" Two guys of similar age had approached the girls table and one of them asked.

"That's me. But I don't you." She answered and then looked at the other guy who was giving her a polite smile, "Neither you."

"We wanted to talk to you." The other guy spoke. "I'm Kabir and he's Dhruv," he said pointing at his friend.

"Did I take some kind of appointment that I'm not aware of where I need to meet new people everyday?" She whispered to Alisha and Nikita. "Because trust me I'm not really fond of making new acquaintances daily."

Dhruv cleared his throat. "I know you don't know us but we're Ayansh's friends."

That made Inaaya stand up. Taking a deep breath she said, "Then I really don't want to know you two. Thank you very much." She fake smiled.

"Okay listen." Kabir who was really running out of patience and time demanded.

Inaaya cocked a brow. Alisha and Nikita looked amused.
