The three girls cheerfully woke early on a Saturday morning to prepare for the red carpet where Siddharth had asked them to watch the award show. As she still cherished her natural beauty, Ashi spent hours getting ready, donning her stunning evening gown, and applying minimal makeup. She styled her hair in a side braid. She was decked out in an elegant pink gown, yet it gave her a princess-like appearance.

Marinette and Esha also looked like beautiful princesses in their ballgowns. 

Marinette:

Esha :

Adrien was astounded by Marinette's beauty as they made their way to their black limousine. He kissed her hand as knelt down. "You look like a Queen, m'lady." When Marinette realized he was already engaged to someone else, she stopped herself from kissing him on the cheek. Despite the fact that Marinette could see how upset Adrien appeared, she avoided him during the long trip. When they arrived and left, the cameras' flashes of light made it difficult for them to see. They went right down to where Siddharth was and watched him speaking to a beautiful actress. She was Ritika Sharma and she starred in one of my television programs. She and the others both laughed, but Ashi did not find it amusing and stepped away from the group to join the rest of them. She immediately spotted her favorite couple conducting an interview. Ashi had the impression that Sanaya Irani and Barun Sobti from the popular, everlasting television program Iss Pyaar Koh Kai Naam doh were present at this event. She was thrilled to see them in person and hoped to get a chance to meet them. As she approached them, she could feel her heart racing with excitement. She introduced herself and they were both very friendly and welcoming. "OMG, Sanaya I am your biggest fan ever! And also you Barun!" "Hello, Ashi! My favorite actress is you." Ashi gave Sanaya a hug while she grinned. Before Siddharth discovered her, they spoke for a considerable amount of time. "Hello, guys! You have a lot of my love. What are you doing here, Ashi?" Ashi fled as he pondered her apparent lack of motivation. He followed her to the balcony where she sat. As he began to speak to her, she turned around and was looking down at her feet. "I won't be going. Since you like your girlfriend, you can hang out with her. "I'm not even interested in speaking to you anymore." As they arrived at the program, she ran to her buddies. "Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the Best Actor and Actress of the Year Award Ceremony for 2021." Sanaya and Barun were recognized as the "Best Old is Gold" couple as they handed out awards. Shahrukh Khan and Kajol played the romantic movie couple, and Juhi Chawla and Aamir Khan played the comedic movie couple. Then came American singers like Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, followed by Emma Watson for the actress. "The best Indian actress prize goes to Ashi Singh, last but not least." As the entire audience applauded, Ashi gasped. She took the stage and delivered a moving declaration about all the support she received.

Ashi was still depressed the next day as a result of Siddarth's flirtation with the woman. She chose to read an article after finding it on the web while searching for the most recent Bollywood News. Ashi was torn apart when she learned that he was dating Ritika through a news story. Ashi felt helpless because the boy she had loved for a very long time was no longer hers. She was miserable and believed that loving him was a mistake.

*Someone like you written by Adele

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a girl and you're dating now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she gave you the love, I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

"Don't forget me, " I beg

I remember you said

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

You know how time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives

We were born and raised in a summer haze

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

"Don't forget me, " I begged

I remember you said

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Nothing compares, no worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made

Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you

"Don't forget me, " I beg

I remember you said

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

"Don't forget me, " I begged

I remember you said

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead"

As she was lying in bed, Ashi ripped apart all the photos of him and threw them away in the trash. She stopped herself just as she touched the heart locket. When they were in grade 7, Siddharth gave her this as a birthday present, making it one of his first memories of him. It was hidden inside the locker where she kept all of her treasures. She cannot continue to carry the suffering and anguish in her heart. She saw him as a kind, trustworthy, and humble individual. She was mistaken, though, since he is not the same Siddharth she once fell in love with and is a liar and cheat. She was reminded of her former fake boyfriend Parth, who betrayed her, by this.

*Flashback

Parth used to impress Ashi by being the most respectful and kind boy she had ever met. She and Parth used to talk for hours on end, share jokes, and support one another. Soon Ashi sensed that she was beginning to fall in love. She told him about her feelings, and when he acknowledged them, they began dating. He was with her everywhere, even in restaurants, malls, and movie theatres. He suddenly stopped communicating with her one day, and Ashi thought he might be experiencing a medical issue. She felt as though he had left her heart and life forever as the days and months went by without him showing up. She one day noticed Parth holding a girl in his arms when she was out and about with her friends Nia and Serena. He then gave her a cheek kiss. Tears were streaming from her eyes, and she could feel a fire blazing inside her head. The boy she believed to be her true love, but who turned out to be a faker, betrayed her.

*Present

Ashi found it hard to accept that Siddharth was a traitor like him because she thought he was never that kind of guy. Then, during the Aladdin photo shoots, she spotted a photo of herself and him together. 

Back then, she cherished those times when he would give her a hug or perform humorous or romantic scenes with her. Ashi is still willing to resume her role in the play a year after it finished. Siddharth, in her opinion, was the best friend she had ever had because he was always there to encourage her and make her laugh. The idea made her grumble with real pain since she could not bring herself to accept that he had a real girlfriend by this point and that she was no longer his lover.  She had Esha and Marinette, who were loyal pals, to love her at least. She made a call to her pals seeking advise on how to confront Siddharth.

(Call Dialogue )

Ashi: Hey Mari, Hey Esha

Marinette: Hi Ashi. Why are your eyes red, have you been crying because Siddharth is dating Ritika?

Ashi: Exactly! I taught he used to be kind and honest with me. I can't believe that he is like Parth, a betrayer.

Esha: How are you sure that he is like Parth, my poor girl? The news could be fake you know.

Marinette: I agree with Esha, this could be just a misunderstanding.

Ashi: But when I saw him with her yesterday I know he loved her, not me.

Esha: If it just happened yesterday the flirting, then how could they all be ready the next day to have a relationship?

Ashi: Maybe he was hiding the truth from me this whole time. He might have dated Ritika before they wrote the article and understood the news. 

Marinette: I still think he won't do that. You know what? Just do with your heart tells you to do and speak this to him when you meet him in the park. 

Ashi: I will! Thanks, guys.

(Call Ends)

To see Bryant Park, a lovely New York location with a heart-shaped carving, Ashi drove there. Siddharth was there, chatting with his other friends and circling the area when she arrived. Siddharth appeared perplexed as she ran to them and glared at him. "Hello, Siddharth. Where is your Ritika? After all, she is your girlfriend, right?" Siddharth jumped a little when he heard her mention this. "Ash, What do you mean? Ritika is not my lover.""Lies! Mr. Nigam, you are skilled at telling lies! You were flirting with her just yesterday, and now I saw an article about it in the Bollywood Times. Siddharth, isn't that the truth?" "News! What piece?" When Ashi showed him the article on her iPhone and he read it, his face began to perspire. "Now, is that better?" He gulped as he said the word "No." "Are you serious? I am sure that you have been keeping this information from me for the whole time." "I'm not in a relationship with Ritika, Ashi! We are only good friends." "Once more, you're ignoring it. Siddharth, our friendship is over. I would like not to even remember your face." Ashi flew as she raced away from the crowd. Why does Siddharth insist on making her endure pain when this is excessive? She visited Esha, Adrien, and Marinette at The Royal Arts Academy. They paid close attention as she described what had taken place. "Wait a second. Are you able to go to the article?" Adrien said as he instructed her to scroll up to see who wrote it. "Goodness me! Look to see who it is." As she watched this, Ashi's eyes started to water with fear. "Parth! Siddharth's bewilderment was reasonable. He is once more engaging in his game. This is a misunderstanding. Siddharth is an honest guy." Once more, Ashi had a sorrowful and fearful expression. "No matter what, I must apologize to Sid."
