Shivansh's POV

The evening unfolded slowly, the chatter and laughter from earlier in the day now replaced by a subdued energy. After the tea and coffee were served, a butler approached, bowing slightly as he informed maa, “Rani maa, Dinner has been prepared and is ready to be served.”

I watched as everyone began to rise, the usual hum of voices accompanying the shuffle of chairs. My eyes naturally gravitated toward Isha. She had been quiet ever since the movie, her vibrant personality replaced by a noticeable silence.

She wasn’t laughing at Dhruv’s jokes, wasn’t teasing her brother, and—most telling of all—she wasn’t even looking at me.

“Let’s head to the dining area,” maa announced, glancing toward Isha’s parents with a polite smile. “Please, come.”

The group moved to the dining area, where the table was already set with an array of dishes. It was similar to lunch, but the atmosphere felt different. People chatted, but the energy was softer, calmer, as if the weight of the evening had started to settle in.

This time, Isha sat quietly beside her father, her gaze fixed firmly on her plate. She spoke only when spoken to, her responses short and polite. She was avoiding everyone, but I knew better. She was avoiding me.

Isha.

She was quieter than usual, focusing too intently on her plate. Her usual quick wit and biting sarcasm seemed to have vanished. Ever since the movie earlier, she’d been avoiding my eyes, her nervous energy practically vibrating off her.

I watched her steal a glance at me when she thought no one was looking, only to quickly avert her gaze when our eyes met. My lips twitched into a smirk. She was terrible at hiding her embarrassment.

The meal ended, and everyone moved to the garden area to enjoy the cool night breeze. The stars were scattered across the sky, their light casting a serene glow over the neatly trimmed hedges and sprawling lawns.

I watched Isha from a distance as she stood with her family. She wasn’t participating in the conversation, her hands clasped in front of her as she stared off into the distance. Something was bothering her.

Unable to stop myself, I approached maa. “maa, it’s late,” I said, keeping my voice low. “Their house is two hours away, and the roads won’t be safe this time of night. Why don’t we suggest they stay here?”
