ISHIKA'S POV:
Today I just let myself free....
Free from every worries, responsibilities, perfections and everything that binds me in a cage to be fit in square full of others expections
As Rishh said I enjoyed my day to the fullest
Now I and Devansh are walking on the beach side and yess I finally address him from his first name
It took me time but it isn't that bad too
Today I feel calm and peace in between my chaotic life
Only the sound of waves is heard, and having him (Devansh) by side doesn't makes me feel uncomfortable
His gentleman nature is what makes me feel comfortable and somewhere I feel it's ok to be real with him.. I can let my gards down in front of him
I don't know what is it but I feel a strange connection or may be pull that always makes me cross paths again with him
Cold sand holding shoes in one hand and with a content smile we are walking in silence
Breaking this silence I tried to initiate the conversation
"Devansh can I ask you something?"
"You don't need my permission to ask Ishika.." he said with the most loving way
Can anyone be this much polite, loving and good ?
'Or may be you find him like this 😏' my mind mocked
'shut up.. nothing like that.. don't overthink' i replied
"Ask Ishika don't hesitate.. friends don't need permission or hesitation to be themselves... So go on" he said and my conversation with my mind broke
"We can talk like real friends right... I mean..."
"What is it Ikuu" Devansh said and I just skipped a beat
He just gave me a nickname..
That too unique.... No one has gave me this unique nickname
Meanwhile my brain did a happy dance and heart just filled with warm happy feeling and my cheeks turned red
I just felt good.. too good
'I am flattered 😩🤌' my heart said
"Umm.. I am sorry.. Ishika it just slipped out of my mouth" he said
I then realised that I haven't reacted and it made him feel wrong giving me nickname...
'ahh not my fault.. i was too lost'
'when you are not..' my brain mocked
'its ok we will deal with it later, not let me concentrate where i am..' i replied
"It's ok Ansh you can call me by my nickname.. I know we still trying to know eachother.. but honestly I like your company and we can be real friends...
And see even i gave you a nickname.. so we are equal....
You know I never had any guy friend before let alone I didn't have any friends other than Rishika then I joined the company and I have now you 2 brothers who are my most amazing friends. And FYI you are the first one after Rishh who gave me a nickname so yehh.. we are cool...
I just wanted to ask you that I am trusting you and this friendship just please if you feel like not wanting this or any thing please say straight to my face I can handle that but I can't handle the stranger behaviour after being close to my friends " I just let it out I don't know what came to my mind I just poured my heart out
