Chapter 21
Rana walked into the gym, clad in his workout gear, ready to break a sweat and clear his mind. As he made his way to the weightlifting area, he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw .
His best friend, Arjun, was already there, lifting weights with a determined look on his face.
"Hey, Arjun! What's going on? I never thought I'd see the day you'd be in the gym," Rana said with a smirk, approaching Arjun.
Arjun, slightly out of breath from his workout, tried to play it cool. "Oh, you know, just felt like getting in shape. Gotta take care of this body, right?" he lied, avoiding Rana's eyes.
Rana raised an eyebrow, sensing that there was more to Arjun's sudden interest in fitness than he was letting on. "Really? Since when did you care about your body?"
Arjun's heart raced, feeling the weight of his guilt and the fear of Rana discovering his true motives. "Well, you know, just thought it was time for a change," he stuttered, trying to sound convincing.
But Rana wasn't buying it. He knew Arjun too well to believe his flimsy excuse. "Come on, Arjun. What's going on? You never cared about going to the gym before. Is there something you're not telling me?"
Arjun's stress levels peaked, realizing he was about to be exposed. He tried to deflect the conversation, but Rana's piercing gaze made it challenging. "It's nothing, Rana. Just trying to stay healthy, that's all," he said, his voice strained.
Rana could see the discomfort written all over Arjun's face, and he decided to let it go for now. But he made a mental note to keep an eye on his friend and figure out the real reason behind his sudden interest in the gym.
As Arjun continued his workout, a whirlwind of emotions stormed inside him. He couldn't let Rana uncover the truth about his jealousy towards Akhil and his plan to impress Kavya.
