Ishqi was standing holding the railing while her back was facing Ahaan. Maybe she did this so that he won't see her tears...

Ahaan saw that Instagram profile of someone named Mayank was opened in Ishqi's phone. In a latest post, it looked like him and a girl just got engaged...

Ishqi took a deep breath and started talking...

Ishqi- Mere 18th birthday pe mere dad ne bohot badi party organize ki thi. Bade bade business, unke dost, sab invited the. That's when I met Mayank, dad ke best friend Shekhar uncle ka beta. We both instantly connected, hum dono puri party saath the and we even exchanged numbers, party ke baad bhi messages bhej rahe the. Next day, it was my first day of college. Main jaise hi andar gayi, I saw a familiar face, it was Mayank. Hum ne saath mein hi saare lectures attend kiye, canteen gaye and even coffee shop bhi gaye college ke baad. Soon we became inseparable, hum best friends ban gaye. And before I knew it I fell for him. Mujhe uski saari cheeze pasand aane lag gayi, uska chalna firna, baat karna, sab kuch. I also knew woh mujhe pasand karta hai, he did everything he could to impress me. Mere liye roses lata tha, chocolates lata tha, pura pura din mere hi peeche peeche reheta tha. Finally he proposed. Hum dono saath mein bohot khush the, I knew he was the one. Aur jab hum graduate huye, he asked me to marry him. I immediately said yes. Uss wakt maine decide kiya tha that I wanna be a professional actor. Uske pehele main bas indecisive thi. Par jab maine yeh baat Mayank ko batayi tab woh shocked tha. All he said was that "I didn't knew you wanted to work after marriage" That's when I realized Mayank ek housewife chahta hai, even uske parents bhi ek aise bahu chahte hai jo kuch kaam na kare. Uske baad hum dono ke beech bohot ladaya hui. Yeh sab almost ek mahine ke liye chala, hamari engagement bhi ho chuki thi, hum dono ke parents aur ghar wale bohot khush the, especially my dad. Ek din hum dono ka firse jhagda chal raha tha, main thak gayi thi, ladayi kar karke, chilla ke, I had enough, maine meri ring uske muh pe maari, zor se chilla ke bola "I've had enough, this is over." Aur main ghar chali gayi, somehow khudko sambhala aur ghar mein sabko bata diya  ke maine engagement tod di hai. Sab bohot supportive the par dad chup the, woh bas kuch soch rahe the. Maine himmat karke sabko yeh bhi bata diya ke main aapna passion follow karna chahti hu, acting. Iss baar dad chup nahi rahe, he started shouting on me. Kaise meri wajahse hi Mayank mujhe chod ke chala gaya while in reality maine usse choda tha. Dad bohot gusse mein the, I don't know kis wajahse, shayad mere acting ke career ki wajahse. He was not at all happy or supportive about it. All of a sudden he shouted " Get out of my house. You are nothing but a disappointment" at that time I felt shattered. Main chup chap chali gayi, uske baad ek hafte tak main bas try kar rahi thi ke dad mujhse baat kare, meri baat samjhe par dad mera chehra tak dekhna nahi chahte the. Tab main yaha aagayi, sab kuch chodke, mere past se bhaag ke...

Just then Ishqi realized she spilled out everything in front of Ahaan. The secretive girl was all of a sudden vanished...

Ishqi- I'm sorry mujhe mera drama nahi karna chahiye tha, hum yaha maze karne aaye the aur main mera rona dhona leke baith gayi...

Ishqi wiped her tears and turned. Out of the blue Ahaan tightly hugged Ishqi. This time Ishqi couldn't hold it back, she cried her heart out and buried her face in the crook of Ahaan's neck and let him caress her head...

"Ishqi ne itna kuch saha hai. Ek ladki ki life mein two most important men uske dad aur partner hote hai, dono ne Ishqi ko dhoka diya hai, how can she trust a man again in her life..."

Ahaan calmed her and then made her sit on chair while he bent down on his knees...

Ahaan- Ishqi tum inn saari cheezo ko aapne andar rakh rahi ho issliye zyada dard ho raha hai. Ek baar Ishqi bas ek baar aapne andar jo bhi hai bol ke toh dekho shayad better feel karogi...

Ishqi- main bachpan se try karti thi ke ek din aisa aaye jab dad mujhe kahe, "I'm proud of you" par badle mein maine kya suna, "You are nothing but a disappointment." Tumhe yaad hai maine kaha tha ke kya maine kisiko drunk hoke call kiya tha,  I was talking about dad...

Ahaan- Ishqi if you don't mind main kuch bolu?

Ishqi quietly nodded...

Ahaan- tumhari maa ne papa ko nahi samjhaya?

Ishqi- mom dad ke samne kuch nahi bol sakti, jab yeh sab ho raha tha tab woh wahi thi, bas ro rahi thi. Aisa nahi hai ke mere dad ek bure insaan hai, it's just that he is short tempered. Aur aisa nahi hai ke mom ne try kiya dad ko manane ka, she tried par nahi mana payi. Issliye ab naa main mom se baat karti hu na dad se. My dad always wanted me to have a respectable job and be independent. Unki soch Mayank aur uske parents jaisi nahi thi par unki nazar mein being an actress is not a respectable job. Kahi na kahi unki bhi galti nahi thi...

Ahaan's eyes were now full of tears. Just then a waiter came with ice-cream...

Ahaan- okay ab yeh rona dhona band karo and let's have some ice-cream...

Ishqi- accha, aansu toh tumhare aankho mein hai.

Ahaan- woh meri aankho mein kuch chala gaya tha.

Ishqi smiled and then wiped his tears. Ahaan took a bowl of ice-cream and  then fed her...

Ahaan- waise sab kuch bol ke accha laga?

Ishqi- ha laga, next thing I know tum mujhe geet ka idea de rahe ho, Mayank ka photo jalake flush kardu...

Ahaan- idea accha hai.

Ishqi- what??

Ahaan- ha Ishqi let's go come on...

Ishqi- oh hello Mr. Geet 2.0 mujhe meri ice-cream khani hai.

Ishqi then took her bowl from Ahaan's hand and started eating...

Soon after eating icecream and paying Ahaan went to drop Ishqi. As Ishqi stepped outside the car Ahaan insisted on coming inside so they both went inside...
