When A Fan met Her star [ Editing ]

Chapter 60 : Letting Him Go

Jai gently touched Srishti's palms, clasping them tightly in his reassuring grip. He could feel the tension radiating from her. Srishti glanced at him. Offering a faint smile.

"Everything will be alright"he assured her softly.

She nodded as her heart felt heavy. They were on their way to meet Arjun. She had been thinking about it for a while now. She had accepted a life with jai. He was the man she was in love with. She feared arjuns reaction to everything. She knew she's gonna break his heart today. But she was left with no choice. Only let him go. She knew he deserved much better person than her. Whatever they had, has to end.

She turned her gaze back to the window of the car. Watching the world blur by as they approached the restaurant.

Jai stepped out first and opened the door for her. Srishti was lost in her thoughts, her mind racing with what lay ahead. He extended his palm toward her, and she took it. Squeezing it tightly as if it were a lifeline. Together, they walked toward the entrance, where guards gestured them to the Golden Cabin reserved for their meeting.

Inside, the atmosphere was calm, with only a few patrons scattered about. They settled into their chairs. But Srishti's fingers were crossed in anxiety, betraying her inner turmoil.

"Srishti....Just breathe. I told you I'm with you. We'll handle this together"Jai said gently, leaning closer to her.

"I...I'm alright"she managed to say, though her voice trembled slightly.

A guard entered the cabin and both jai and srishti turned towards him

"Sir..he's here"

Jai looked at Srishti, who composed herself with a deep breath and nodded resolutely.

"Ask him to come in"Jai instructed to the guard who nodded and walked away.

"Srishti. Just say whatever you want to okay. Relax. It's gonna be fine. I'm in the next cabin. Please call me once you feel so"jai said to her. She bit her lips in anxiety.

"Okay"she whispered. He gave her an assuring smile and kissed the back of her palm. Then he got up and walked outside leaving her alone in the cabin.

After a few moments that felt like an eternity, Arjun walked into the cabin. His face lit up when he saw Srishti.

"Hey"he said with a smile to which she smiled back in response.

"Hi. Come sit"she said.

"You know I was surprised when I received your message"he said as he sat down across from her. She sighed, looking at the ground.

"How are you, Srishti?"he asked softly.

"I'm good, Arjun. What about you?"

"Terrible....but now...I feel better"he said with a smile. The weight of unspoken words hung heavily between them.
