I'm so sorryyyy! Not because I'm late but because yesterday's promo was a PRANK!! 😂😂😂
Oh my god! It was so fun.
So, Belated Happy April Fools Day! 🙈
Remember it was just a PRANK. So, the promo scene is not there.

Happy Reading!

Nandini's POV

He said it. Oh gosh, he just confessed his love for me. To say I was shocked would be an understatement! I was feeling all kinds of emotions at the same time. Shock, surprise, relief and a bit of guilt. Guilt because I didn't say it back. I kinda dozed off on him, maybe because of those painkillers, after staring at him like a dumb idiot I am.

But the question is do I love him?
Well sure, we have great chemistry and all. And I do have strong feelings towards him. But are they so deep to be called love? Ugh, I'm confused.

When I woke up I felt much better but it was the disappointment that creeped in. I was hoping to see Manik's face as I woke up but he wasn't to be found anywhere. I changed into something better and went to the person who can help me out right now.

Yup, you guessed it right! Varun.

I entered his house to see no one there and the door was open. Music was blasting from a room. Not just anyone's room, it's Varun's room. I went in without knocking as usual but maybe I came at the wrong time.

"Ahem!" I cleared my throat and spoke, "Am I interrupting something?" I leaned against the door as I asked.

"Well obviously!" Varun said in an annoyed yet amused tone. His cheeks held a tinge of pink colour while the girl next to him looked like a tomato compared to him.

"Varun!" Sanjana exclaimed and smacked the back of his head.

"Sooo... You were both gonna KISS!" I said smirking.

"No, we were just playing tongue hockey!" Varun said sarcastically while I grimaced.

"That's gross, V. But if you guys want me to go toh I.." I trailed off when Sanjana spoke.

"No No. Nandini, Come on. It's fine. So, what happened? You look like you need some help.."

I nodded and groaned as I remembered my dilemma. I buried my face in my hands and said, "I'm an ass!"

They both laughed still confused, when I told them everything that happened, me being sick, Manik's confession and how I'm confused.

"Nandini, you're not confused from what I can see." Sanjana smirked and I frowned at her.

"Matlab?"

"I guess you're just scared! You're scared to use the big L word. Your fear is, getting hurt by someone and that's what is holding you back. And trust me it's normal." She said placing a hand on mine giving me a warm smile.

"Yes! Everything will be fine. And right now what you need is some food in your stomach, so I'm gonna ask mom to make khichdi (porridge) for you and order pizza for us." He excused himself to call Pizza Hut.

I was still a little conflicted, when Sanjana spoke sensing my discomfort, "Hey relax, okay. Listen, what you need to do is spend some alone time to figure out your feelings. If you think it's worth taking the risk, then go ahead. Because love is all about risk."

"Wow. Thank you so much Sanjana. I'm glad I bumped into you here!" I hugged her when Varu entered the room.

"Ooh, bonding without me!?"
