Author POV
Continues knocks on door made Prarthana open her eyes from sleep. She looked at her phone to see time only to see missed calls from Rahul, Athiya and Mayank.

"Prarthana are you there, open the door Putta" Rahul said with hint of worried.

She looked at herself in mirror as she stood from bed. Her state was totally not a presentable one. Red puffed eyes and red face was saying it all. She surely can't walk infront of her brother like this.

"Ah Anna I was asleep, I will be there in 20 minutes" she said still in sleepy eyes.

"Oh ok just come fast" he said as he got relaxed about her well being as she doesn't sleep till ten.

She placed her phone on side table, her eyes diverted to the pillow which had dried tear stains on it. She knew room service will clean it so she went to bathroom with her clothes.

As she got ready some thoughts just roamed back in her head.

'I know now these feeling will take me nowhere, but I want this friendship. It doesn't matter if I lost my love but I don't wanna lose our friendship. This pure bond which we have formed I can't break this' she thought as she was looking at their pic, where she Devdutt and Mayank were making weird face.

She took the phone near her 'but only you own my heart and always will' she creased the pic of Dev and kissed on, lingering it for few seconds before putting the phone on her chest with closed eyes, lone tear escaped from her left eye which she quickly wiped.

She walked out of her room, shutting the door she looked front only to see Devdutt was already in elevator, before she could call him the door got closed. What she didn't knew was he was the one who pressed the button to close the door. She felt sad and looked at stairs.

She was about to walk toward steps when Tilak walked towards elevator. She felt relieved as she too walked to elevator.

Tilak looked at her, as she entered in when they made eye contact she gave him small smile. "Rahul Bhai's sister!?!" He pointed with questioning eyes. Prarthana nodded with smile.

"Hey I am Tilak Varma" he said giving his hand for handshake which she gladly accepted "Prarthana Lokesh" she said as she loved introducing herself with her father's name.

Soon they reached down floor. She greeted little Samira and Ritika who were seated on one of the table with Sanjana, Angad and Devisha.

"Good morning Sanjana bhabhi, Devisha bhabhi" she said taking place beside Sanjana "kya kar raha hai humhare Angad" she cooed at little Angad who in return swayed his little hands in air.

He throwed his hand infront of Prarthana "aww humhare Angad bua ke paas aana chahta hai" she said taking him on her arms and slightly stroked his back.

He started to make little weird sounds as Prarthana was cutely talking with him in baby voice. Jasprit who was with his other teammates quickly walked into their direction and started to make their cute video and pictures.

Soon she handed over Angad to his dad as Mayank called her to his table.

Mayank was seated with Rahul and Deepak on end of the dinning area, where the view of garden was easily available. She walked to take her breakfast and sat with them.

As she got seated her eyes searched for one particular soul today who was not on her table. When she couldn't find Mayank pointed to her front where he was seated with Ishan, Tilak, Arjun and other boys in long table.

"Dek li ab khana bhi kalo" Mayank whispered, "I. I wasn't searching for him" she tried to cover up "haan dekha meine" he said focusing on his breakfast.

As she continued with her breakfast, Dev for once didn't glanced at her direction. Say she felt bad would be understatement, but she shrugged it of thinking he must be enjoying with other.

What she didn't knew was he knows about her feelings.

After completing her she was randomly talking with Rahul when she saw Dev stood up and started to walk out.

"Wait bhaiya I will come back" she said quickly walking in same direction.

He was walking too fast she was literally running. She was longing to talk to him. Her day felt empty without talking to him, like missing some piece of puzzle.

"Dev... Dev" she called, walking too fast he pur his phone to his ears and walk out from hotel.

Her eyes followed his figure with sadness. Her mood went sour on the realisation, he is ignoring her. Till now she was just ignoring or you can say avoiding to think this way but now she got clear sign.

He is ignoring me
