Let's Play Pretend! 🤍 (Completed)✅

13-{Real Feelings!💘}

Third Person's Pov

Ishan was sitting silently on the terrace as he couldn't stop thinking about how he'd acted up with Shriya earlier, he knew that he'd hurted her by being so rude in front of his friends but he didn't had any other choice until he wanted Arshita and Shubman to find out about his new found feelings for Shriya which he'd recently realized himself too. He couldn't help but fall more for her everytime she was by his side. But more than love what he felt was the guilt....the guilt of playing pretend with her feeling just for breaking her heart in the end.

He wanted to stop all this but was stuck in dilemna, because if he stops now he'd be hurting his best friend and if he doesn't stop now he'd lose all the chances of being with a girl whom he was falling for!

"What the hell have I done!" Ishan murmured to himself while sighing when the next moment someone came from behind, he turned around to find Shriya while she looked back at him with a blank face as she'd also been thinking about him ever since and couldn't understand why Ishan had reacted that way earlier!

Ishan was going to say something but was stopped by her as she said, "I didn't knew you were here! I'll leave, so you can stay here"

Ishan just sighed as he immediately got up and grabbed her wrist before she could leave from there and then said almost in a murmur, "Don't! Don't go! Please stay!"

Shriya just took a deep breathe as she slowly turned around and looked at Ishan who was already looking at her with a guilty look on his face, they both kept looking at each other while Ishan came closer to her and joined his forehead with her while they both stood like that for a while when Ishan finally said, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for being a jerk and yelling at you like that in front of my friends!"

"Do you think I'm angry because of that?" Shriya asked him slowly while they got separate and Ishan looked at her confused as he asked, "Then is it something else?"

"Ishan! I'm not angry because you acted like that! I'm just sad because you lied to me...you'd told me that you love reading when we'd met in the library and I was so happy that I fell for someone who was actually like me, someone whom I could trust and confide in because he would understand me, because we'd be alike! Why did you do that?" Shriya asked him and Ishan looked at her as his eyes softened and he took her hands in his saying, "Because I love you"

And for the first time in that confession Ishan had realized actually how much he was in love with this girl, he couldn't hold his feelings back anymore, "And I wanted you to love me back too, and I was afraid that you won't like me back if I'm not perfect because you are! So I just said somethings which I'm really not and I'm really sorry for that! Please don't hate me Shriya!" Ishan said holding her hands in his while she looked at him giving out an assuring look.

"I don't hate you Ishan! I'd never do that...because I love you too! You it seemed really strange to me at first...how we both got into all this....but as I kept spending time with you, I know exactly why I fell for you.......I fell for who you are Ishan and you don't need to change yourself for me! I'm glad that I got to know the real you and I just hope that we can go forward in this relationship trying to do that only...with all the honesty! Okay?" Shriya said holding his hands and Ishan finally let out a small smile while nodding his head as he came closer and kissed her forehead, "Thank you so much Chia! I was so worried that I might have disappointed you but now I know that I'm just so lucky to have someone like you who understands me like no other!" Ishan said and Shriya just smiled while she hugged him.

On the other side Arshita and Shubman were still sitting out in front of the beach while Arshita was silently sipping on her drink and was keeping her head on Shubman's shoulder after every sip! Shubman was silently looking at her when she suddenly raised her head and gave out while Shubman raised his eyebrow in confusion as he asked, "What? What did I do now?"
