As months passed by, the friendship, the support, the jobs, everything progressed. One day Mithra's cozy apartment was filled with the soft glow of the television as she, Ishan, Virat, and Anushka settled in for a movie night. 

The atmosphere was relaxed, with laughter and casual banter punctuating the cinematic experience. As the characters on the screen unfolded their stories, little did Mithra know that a plot twist was about to unfold off-screen.

Ishan, with a thoughtful expression, paused the movie and turned to Virat. Virat met his gaze, a silent conversation passing between them. Mithra, noticing the exchange, furrowed her brow in curiosity.

"What's going on, guys?" she asked, the concern evident in her voice. Virat took a deep breath before responding, "Mithra, we need to talk about something. It's about Shubman."

Mithra's heart skipped a beat, a sense of angst settling in. "What happened? Is everything okay?"

Ishan, with a sympathetic glance, spoke up, "Shubman got a girlfriend. We thought you should know."

The room fell into a momentary silence. Mithra, processing the unexpected revelation, felt a mix of emotions. Virat and Anushka exchanged a glance, understanding the significance of the news in the context of Mithra's unspoken feelings for Shubman.

"I... I had no idea," Mithra finally replied, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions within. Anushka, offering a supportive smile, said, "We just thought you should be aware. It can be challenging news, and we're here for you, Mithra."

Virat, empathetic to Mithra's feelings, added, "Shubman might not have mentioned it directly. Relationships are personal, but we thought it was best you hear it from us."

Mithra nodded, appreciative of their honesty. "Thank you for letting me know. I didn't expect this, but I'll be fine."

Ishan, offering a comforting pat on her shoulder, said, "Take your time, Mithra. We're here for you."

As the movie resumed, the room carried a different atmosphere – a mixture of shared support, friendship and the underlying acknowledgement of the complexities that sometimes accompany close relationships. 

Mithra, though processing unexpected emotions, found solace in the genuine support offered by her friends. As the movie continued to play in the background, Virat, Anushka, and Ishan gathered around Mithra, offering details about Shubman's new relationship. The room, once filled with the anticipation of a movie night, now held a different kind of intensity.

Anushka, choosing her words carefully, began, "Mithra, Shubman has been seeing someone for a few months now. It seems like they've been keeping it relatively private."

Virat, sensing Mithra's emotions, added, "We just wanted you to be aware because we know how close you are to Shubman. Relationships can bring unexpected feelings, and we thought it was important for you to hear it from us."

Mithra nodded, appreciating their consideration. "Thank you for being honest with me. I didn't expect this, but I understand that these things happen."

Ishan, sensing the weight of the situation, offered a supportive smile. "It's okay to feel however you feel, Mithra. We're here for you, no matter what."
