Advik’s voice rang in the air—firm, clear, undeniable.
“She’s my friend.”
The words settled over them, yet Advantika couldn't help but smirk at his tone. He was a contradiction—kind yet egoistic, chivalrous yet blunt, a gentleman but with a stubborn streak that refused to bend. And yet, she was drawn to it.
Lost in her own musings, she didn’t realize she had been smiling like a fool until she felt his gaze on her. It wasn’t fleeting. It lingered, deep and searching, as if he was trying to figure something out. The golden hue of the setting sun spilled onto her face, accentuating the warmth in her expression.
She didn't need a mirror to know she was blushing.
And she wasn’t alone in this confusion.
Advik didn't know what was happening to him. Was it just attraction? Or was it something more? Every time he saw her—her confidence, her unfiltered words, her sheer presence—it stirred something in him. She was different. In a world that bowed to him, she stood her ground.
The memory of the train ride flickered in his mind. The way he had instinctively moved behind her, shielding her without a second thought. The way she fit in that space, unknowingly pressing into him. The way she had looked up at him, breathless, unsure.
A red flag.
Or maybe a green one.
He wasn’t sure.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Advantika’s voice broke through his thoughts, her brows furrowing slightly.
“What do you mean?” he responded casually, masking his internal chaos. “I look at everyone the same way.”
She tilted her head, studying him before shaking her head. “No, you don’t.”
He didn’t have a response to that.
Before the moment could stretch any further, Ashish’s voice came from behind them.
“Guys, are you both done? Or should we leave you alone?”
Surbhi snickered beside him, her smirk widening. “Married couple vibes.”
Advantika sighed, brushing off the comment. She had heard enough of them today. “Ignore it,” she muttered to Surbhi. “People will always say things. It’s not like we can change their mindset.”
Advik hummed in agreement. “True. But sometimes, people need to be put in their place.”
She turned to him, eyes narrowing. “Was that a taunt?”
His lips curled slightly. “What do you think?”
She huffed. This man can't go five minutes without taunting me.
Ashish, oblivious to their silent war, sighed. “Alright, let’s get our tickets from Vinay.”
