11. To Chandigarh.
The next day, Shubman was sitting in his hotel room, still feeling the bittersweet mix of emotions from the wedding and his conversation with Siya. He was lost in thought when a loud knock on the door pulled him back to reality.
"Come in," he called, expecting room service.
To his surprise, Abhishek walked in, looking unusually serious. "Shubman, we need to talk."
Shubman frowned, standing up. "What's up, Abhishek? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Abhishek took a deep breath, his expression grave. "It's about Riana. She said some things to Siya before she left."
Shubman's heart sank. "What things? What did she say?"
Abhishek hesitated for a moment, then blurted out, "She told Siya that you're just playing with her, that you use girls and then move on. She tried to convince Siya that you're not serious about her."
Shubman's face darkened with anger. "She said what? I trusted her! I thought she was my friend!"
Abhishek nodded, his expression sympathetic. "I know, man. But she crossed the line this time. Siya was really upset, and I think she's doubting everything between you two now."
Shubman clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. "I can't believe Riana would do that. I've always been there for her, and this is how she repays me?"
Abhishek placed a hand on Shubman's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "I know you're angry, but you need to talk to Siya. Clear things up before it's too late."
Shubman took a deep breath, trying to control his anger. "You're right. I need to fix this. But first, I need to confront Riana. She owes me an explanation."
Abhishek nodded, giving him a supportive pat on the back. "Just remember, Shubman, Siya needs to hear the truth from you. Don't let Riana's lies ruin what you have."
Shubman nodded, determination flashing in his eyes. "I won't. I'll make sure Siya knows how I really feel. And Riana... she's going to hear from me too."
Fueled by anger and betrayal, Shubman stormed out of his room, his mind set on confronting Riana. Abhishek, sensing the intensity of Shubman's emotions, quickly dialed Ishan's number.
"Ishan, it's Abhishek. Shubman just found out what Riana told Siya, and he's on his way to her room. He's really pissed. We need to calm him down before things get out of hand."
"I'm on my way," Ishan replied, his voice urgent.
Abhishek hung up and hurried after Shubman, who was already halfway down the corridor. They reached Riana's room, and without hesitation, Shubman pounded on the door.
