After returning from a trip, I felt exhausted due to the extra workload. Hearing about the close relationship between Aansh and Reha from Reha's parents made me not want to meet or talk to anyone. To take my mind off things, I decided to have some fun and distract myself with my colleagues at Ridham's house. After leaving there, one of my colleagues dropped me off at the hotel.

Late at night, I saw Reha entering Aansh's room. The next day, Aansh didn't bother to tell me about it. Feeling disheartened, I left with my brother, who wanted to visit our sister-in-law due to her ill health. Since my work was also done, we booked a late-night flight. Before that, we went shopping to buy gifts for our family, my sister's babies, and our sister-in-law and her family. Then we decided to roam around. My brother already sensed my mood and I shared everything with him. I didn't realize when I started crying, but he made sure I was okay. After our shopping, we met Ridham, who mentioned that he was also relocating to Mumbai and would join us.

When we returned home, I spent time with my family and sister-in-law. However, the next day, my parents had to leave for our native place for some work, leaving just my brother and me at home. My brother was busy with his meetings and I was left alone at home. Aansh made no effort to contact me, which led to my mind being overwhelmed with overthinking. Without realizing it, my health declined. When Aansh found out, he tried to talk to me, but Ridham and my brother didn't allow him to meet me, and I wasn't ready either. He tried to send Abhay, but my brother warned him as well, recounting the previous events before leaving Delhi.

Abhay called me at night and informed me that he too was unaware of the situation. Aansh's family also arrived, and Abhay had to leave for a family function. He advised me to take care and suggested meeting Aansh once to sort things out and start being happy again. We talked for almost an hour, and he reminded me of how happy and cheerful I used to be when we first met. After taking my medicine, I decided to sleep, but before that, I messaged Aansh, saying
"Let's meet for the last time and discuss our situation. I'm tired of pretending to be happy when I'm not."

Within seconds he replied about the location and I told him, "At the same place you fell in love with me"

NEXT Morning
I woke up feeling unwell but had to go to the office for an important meeting. Despite not feeling great, I didn't want to give up on work, so I got ready. I chose to wear a simple light blue Indian dress, tied my hair, and put on some makeup to hide how bad I was feeling. Ridham, my colleague, offered to pick me up, and we headed to the office together. On the way, I shared with him the conversation I had the night before with Abhay and Aansh. Ridham agreed to accompany me but made me promise not to cry and miss the doctor's appointment, to which I agreed.

After enduring four consecutive meetings, we finally wrapped up for the day. As we were about to leave, we found Aansh waiting for me. He insisted on taking me to the doctor, asking Ridham to leave. I refused to go anywhere without Ridham, which angered Aansh, but he didn't object. Feeling exhausted, I sat in the passenger seat, and we headed to the hospital.

At the doctor's, I was told I needed a blood test, which made me cry. Ridham comforted me, holding my hand tightly, while Aansh seemed preoccupied. We made eye contact, and I could sense guilt, anger, and hate in his eyes during our exchange.

After the checkup, we decided to go to the place where we first met. Ridham mentioned that he would be at a nearby restaurant with his family, and I agreed to meet him there.

Upon arriving, Ridham hugged me, and I hugged him back tightly, feeling overwhelmed. I began to cry, and he tried to console me, expressing how much he missed me and loved me. Before I could respond, he received an urgent call and had to leave. I urged him to stay and sit with me for a while, expressing that it might be the last time we were meeting. He hesitated but agreed, and we talked for almost an hour. I finally confessed my feelings to him and expressed my readiness for a relationship. His expression changed, and as soon as he received another call, he left abruptly, promising to explain everything later.

Feeling heartbroken and devastated, I wanted to scream and never speak to Aansh again. Ridham came back, comforting me as I cried in his arms, expressing my anger towards Aansh. The first thing he did was delete Aansh's number from my phone. He then took me to get ice cream and dropped me home while delivering a motivational speech about moving on.

Upon reaching home, I decided to work from home for a few days. I packed my bags and made plans to stay with my sister and her babies, hoping to distract myself from everything that had happened.
