When A Fan met Her star [ Editing ]

Chapter 61 : Bittersweet Goodbye

Pallavi wrapped her arms around Jai. Hugging him tightly.

"I'll miss you so much" she said softly.

"I'll miss you too, PP"he chuckled. Earning a playful smack on the head from her. She smiled, her eyes glistening with emotion. Pallavi was heading back to her parents abroad after a long shoot in the city.

"Call me when you reach" Jai said, his voice tinged with concern.

"Sure" Pallavi replied with a warm smile. She turned to Srishti, who stood beside Jai, and embraced her warmly.

"Bye, Srishti. Take care. I'm really going to miss you all" Pallavi said. Srishti smiled and hugged her back.

"We will miss you too, Pallavi. Bye and take care" Srishti said with a bittersweet smile.

Suddenly, Pallavi exclaimed

"Wait... I have a gift for you both"She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small, beautifully wrapped box.

"What's this?" Jai asked curiously.

"A small gift for showering me with love and making this time so memorable"Pallavi said.

"And also open it when you both are alone"She added teasingly. Jai smacked her playfully again as they all laughed.

With heartfelt hugs exchanged once more. Pallavi made her way to the elders to take their blessings. She embraced Shruthi and the children before stepping into the car. As she settled in, she waved at them lovingly until they were out of sight.

"What?? you were Jealous of Pallavi?" Jai bursted out laughing while Srishti pouted.

They were standing in the balcony of their room. sipping their coffee. As usual their talking session

"Srishti.... seriously ?"he laughed again

"Stop laughing!" she protested childishly.

"Oh God... if I knew this earlier, I would've made you more jealous"he teased, earning a glare from her.

"I just cant believe it. Why did you feel so? I was just being a normal friend to her"he said

"A friend? You both were hugging each other to wish goodnight" she complained like a child.

"Then what am I supposed to do? My wife gets all flustered with just the slightest touch. I have no choice"he said with a playful grin. But he noticed her turning her face away, a hint of sadness shadowing her expression.

Realizing his words had affected her, he softened his tone.

"Hey, I didn't mean to upset you. Im sorry"

She fell silent. Her gaze fixed on the view outside, lost in thought. He gently set his coffee cup down on the table and turned her face toward him.

"Hey. Look at me Srishti"

Srishti raised her head to meet his eyes.

"Srishti..possessiveness is a part Of Love. You dont need to feel bad about that okay. When i got to know about you and Arjun i felt jealous too. Because I thought what happened between us didn't mean anything to you. And I was wrong. We've grown together since then. See. We decided to give each other some time right. So stop feeling bad about yourself"he said.

Srishti nodded lightly.

"I knew she didn't had any intentions like that, but seeing her. Close to you made me feel...."she paused feeling his intense gaze.

"What?"his voice was barely a whisper. Srishti gulped. Feeling his stare.

"I.....I...don't know"she answered.
