Oh my god!
MAYANK!!!
Adi just requested to
follow me on
Instagram.
I'm gonna cry😭

Are you doing this
on purpose?

huh doing what?

This is Shubman.

Oh...shit sorry
I accidentally texted
you instead of Mayank.

So..he finally acknowledged
you after seven months huh?

No. He finally
found me.

Why did he lose
you in the first
place though?

He didn't lose me

What excuse did
he give?

I haven't accepted
his request yet.

What are you waiting
for? I thought you
were dying to talk
to him.

You're right.
Why am I here
wasting my time,
when I should be
there talking to him.

Goodbye.

Something felt off with Shubman, obviously anyone would notice.
He hadn't flirted with me since last night and he sounded mad. Ugh whatever I can't be bothered right now.
Let me focus on Aditya. Wait I mean my Adi, I never call him Aditya.

You have accepted @Aditya.Kashyap 's follow request and have requested to follow him back.

I'm nervous, I'm so nervous, it's been seven months since I last talked to him.
But I couldn't help but think about Shubman in this moment.
It's been a month since he had been using that number now. My bestfriend's number.
And I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't started being super attached to him.
Ofcourse, we were friends now, it was normal right?

Just then I got a notification, I picked up the phone hoping it would be Shubman.

@Aditya.Kashyap has accepted your friend request.

I was disappointed. Wait what? Why was I disappointed? Just then I got another notification.

@Aditya.Kashyap has sent you a message.

Hii ishuuu

Hii Adi

I'm sorry I changed
my number and I
forgot to transfer the contacts
so I lost everyone's number,
including yours.

It's okayy

Ishan's pov
I wanted to reply with, "Did I ask?" when he started giving me an explanation but instantly snapped out of it.
Ugh Shubman has really influenced me for the worse.

Idiot🤮🔪

Are you mad?

No.

I'm sorry.

I said I wasn't mad.

ok then I take my
sorry back.

You said talking to
me was a waste of your
time.
Ofcourse. I'm. mad.

Well just because it's
a waste of time...
doesn't mean I dislike it.

Reallyy??

Yes reallyy😂

Don't laugh.

I can't help it
you're so cute.

Did you just call
me CUTE???

Nope.

But you did hehe
so you think I'm cutee??

Absolutely not.

Did you talk to Aditya?

Yeah, but wait I don't
think I ever mentioned
his name. So how did you
know?

Yes you did.

No I'm pretty sure
I didn't because I
never call him Aditya.

Well you called him
Adi, and you mentioned
he was a guy, so I just guessed.

But there are many
different names that
could result to me calling
him Adi?

But Aditya is the most
common one.

If you say so...

Anyways, don't change
the topic. What did
he say?

He said he had
changed his number
and he forgot to
transfer the contacts.

And you believed him?

It doesn't matter.

Ofcourse it doesn't,
why would it?
Tujhe tera bestfriend
jo wapas mil gaya.

Aisa kuch nai hai

Whatever Ishan,
chorr I'm tired.

Why are you mad again?

I'm not mad.
I'm just tired.

You only always
call me 'Ishan',
when you're mad.

Oh how kind
of you to notice.
I feel honored.

Are you being sarcastic?

No. It's truly an
honor. For you to
notice something
about someone, other
than your 'bestfriend'?
It's quite shocking.

:( you're being mean

I'm sorry
I'm just stressed.
I'll talk to you
tomorrow sweetheart.

Ishan's pov
He seemed very suspicious, but I didn't question it further since I was tired aswell.
The next day I went to a cafe with Mayank for breakfast, as it had just opened recently and he wanted to try it out. And ofcourse he dragged me along, but I mean I could never say no to food, especially free food, because he had insisted to pay.

I mean I would've never agreed otherwise since sleep>food, and I definitely did not wish to wake up early just to go have breakfast at a boujee cafe before college, I'd rather go on an empty stomach with a good amount of sleep.

Good morning
Meri jaan <3

A picture to bless your
eyes and your day.

The picture was of this cafe. Was he-
NO, no he, he couldn't be here.
He had probably been here before and just sent it now.
But still I looked around just to be sure,
and sure enough I had spotted the bright sweater in the crowded cafe easily.

I could only see his side face but I mean even his side profile looked really handsome. Not everyone could pull off such a bright sweater, but he looked absolutely amazing in it.
He was with a guy, and Shubman had his full attention on his phone.
OH THE PHONE. OH MY GOD THE PHONE. I was so busy ogling him that I forgot he was texting me.

Hellooo?

Why did you leave
me on seen?

Are you that lost in
my beauty? ;)

Huh you wish.

Then why weren't
you replying?

I didn't have anything
nice to say.

Is that so?

Yeah I didn't want
to be mean or
make fun of someone
for their looks...

It's bad to lie
meri jaan.

*sigh*

Where are you
right now sweetheart?

I'm at home

Is it? I swear I saw
someone's side profile
and it looked just like you.

You must be mistaken.
Anyways enjoy your
coffee with your friend.

How do you know
I'm with a friend?

Well someone must
have clicked your
picture right? So
obviously you aren't
alone.

Hmm sure...

Was it you who ran
into the bathroom
just now?

No, how can that be me?
Like I said I'm at home.

Uhuh like I said
you're a bad liar sweetheart.

Be a good boy and come
out of the bathroom
sweetheart.

The reason why Aditya and Ishan didn't used to follow each other, despite being bestfriends was because they were in school and didn't have social media back then.

It's just for plot if it doesn't make much sense just let it be
