Third Person's Pov:-


Abeer watched Viaanshi walk away, her figure growing smaller in the distance.

His heart felt heavy, like it was made of lead. He had been so close to telling her how he felt, but the words had died in his throat when she mentioned someone special in her life.

As he trudged back to his place, memories of their conversation played on loop in his mind.

Her gentle smile, the way she stirred her coffee, how her eyes lit up when she talked about work every little detail was etched into his brain.

He couldn't shake the feeling that he had missed his chance.

Entering his empty apartment, Abeer slumped onto his couch, burying his face in his hands.

The silence around him seemed to mock his loneliness.

"How did I let myself fall so hard?" he whispered to the empty room.

His phone buzzed, startling him out of his thoughts. It was a text from Viaanshi. With shaking hands, he opened the message:

"Thanks for the coffee and chat, Abeer. You're a great friend."

Friend.

The word stung more than it should have. Abeer stared at the screen, his chest tight with emotion. He typed out a reply, trying to keep his tone light:

"Anytime, Viaanshi. Hope everything works out with your special someone."

He hit send and immediately regretted it.

"Why did I have to bring that up?" he groaned, tossing his phone aside in frustration.

Abeer paced his living room, his mind racing. He knew that Viaanshi's "special someone" was none other than Shreyansh Oberoi.

The way she said his name, with such affection, made Abeer's stomach churn.

Shreyansh was the one who had captured Viaanshi's heart, leaving Abeer on the sidelines.

The memory of how he found out about their relationship came flooding back.

It was when he approached, he saw them through the window of the door Viaanshi and Shreyansh, locked in a tender kiss.
