Guru's POV

After a pretty long time I felt things when around Alia. She's sweet little girl with innocent yet attentive eyes. I wasn't in the search of love as I had learnt lessons already from my brother and my close friends' past relationships. That's why, I wasn't prepared to date someone and then get my heartbroken.

Though, I had Ishi reserved for myself for future that if not someone else I'll definitely end up with her. I mean she's the kind of girl I want but I am also grateful that her and Sinku fell for eachother. They are perfect together. I am just happy that they've adopted me now and officially are my parents.

I like living with them, cooking and singing together with Ishi everyday. Fighting over remote controller and food with Shrinkhal. Things have been very rocky between both of them now. I guess it's common as they are living together and are not virtually dating eachother anymore.

I was expecting fights and distant behaviour but that had gone way out of even my hands. A few days Shrinkhal and I were sitting in the bar while having our time that's when he told me about everything that has been up with him from past a few months.

I genuinely felt bad for my brother and Ishi especially. They don't deserve this and I only asked him to be honest with her or else all of it will hit him right into his face and mess up things. I realised that how things can be in a relationship.

How you fall in love with someone and sometimes feel nothing about them or totally fall out of love sometimes. But that's the whole thing -- choosing your better half everyday over yourself. You can't let your anxiety and insecurities cloud your judgements.

I could see how my brother was going all crazy to just meet Ishi once and make everything clear. He's afraid to lose her but can't keep hurting her over and over again. We both waited for the day so that Ishi comes back and it wasn't that long.

I could see how Sinku's things were making him anxious and when he told her everything. I don't know what had happened, everything seemed to be okay but I was damn sure Ishi was hurt. She's deeply hurt than before because it is not easy to listen from your lover that they didn't feel being with them and ran into their ex-girlfriend of whom they haven't even told you.

Ishi was keeping calm because of Alia and me, she doesn't want to make a scene but I could see how suffocated she was feeling. I know her, whenever she's hurt she numbs her senses and later everything come rushing back and hit her harder than before and makes it harder for her to even stand for her own.

I just hope she doesn't let that happen to her this time. I was sitting with Ishi while she was changing TV channels, zoned out not knowing Alia had been talking to her from past a few minutes now. I gestured Alia to notice Ishi and she did felt something was wrong with her.

I gently sat straight and rubbed her back, "Kya soch rahi hai, Ishi?"

"Sab theek hai?" Alia tilted her head and asked in worried.

"I am okay!"

She said without even blinking her eyes.

"Something happened? Are you sure?" Alia asked her while sitting on the coffee table infront of Ishi and holding her shoulders.

I didn't care about Alia at that moment and all I cared about was Ishi. I can never see her hurt and that too because of my own sibling. If he were someone else I'd have broken his teeth already. I can't see her crying. Ever.

Ishi came back into senses and leaned back on the couch sighing. Alia nodded at me, we agree ask anything Ishi about  Shrinkhal and confront her.

I sat closer to her and caressed her hand, "Ishu kuch bhi hai bata mujhe atleast? I am genuinely worried about you."

Suddenly her eyes met mine and tears began to form on the side of her eyes. I could see she was feeling hurt and didn't know what to do. I bet she has been controlling not to cry. She doesn't want to be in her vulnerable state infront of us.

I read every single word going on in her mind. A few tears dropped down her eyes and rest came like a stream. She hugged me and didn't stop crying. I held her closely as it was killing me to see her this way. Alia tried to calm her down too. After sometime, she was calm and ready to talk, I guessed.

Alia looked at her, "tell us Ishi, kya baat Hui hai? Araam se take your time and then tell us. Know that we're always be by your side."

"Bilkul, relaxed ho and then tell me what did Sinku say?"

Without waiting for a even a second she told us everything. From her and Shrinkhal's point of view. She didn't keep a single thing in her stomach. She felt relieved and was clueless for what to do.

Alia was shocked to hear everything and I on the other side didn't say much as I already knew. I calmly tried to handle things. "Take your time, Ishi. Just think with a calm mind you'll surely get your answers."

"I am not even sure if he loves me, today or not?"

Ishi spoke with no emotions on her face and I could see that she had to face things she wasn't meant to be. This really did break my heart, I feel so stuck between them as both of them are dearest to me and I can't take side of my brother or just Ishi.

I will let fate decide whatever may happen will happen and for a good cause. I just wish Ishi and Shinku don't end up hating eachother.








A/N: I know I know I'm so sorry. I didn't post sooner but I needed to edit chapters hence, I took my time and I also wanted to imagine things from Guru's point of view as I guess every character is important in this story and we need story from every point of view to understand better and to know what's going on each other's mind. Also, it might sound that Guru has feelings too for Ishi but they know it can't happen. Of course when you live with someone for a so long, you do have that care and strong emotions for that person and that's what's with Guru and Ishi. I do not wish to make it a love triangle and all coz I don't like such stuff lol. I hope to see you soon, guys! 💜🌻
