That night, Aman had cried into his pillow, letting out his emotions as much as possible. However, after that night, he was resolute about stifling those feelings. Suppressing emotions often leaves one vulnerable, and Aman was heading down that path. A week later, he began avoiding Suman, not only because she had chosen Rudhra but also to seek solace within his own heart.

Suman attempted to call and meet Aman, but he kept making excuses. She also felt a pang of a little guilt not sharing with Aman earlier.

Finally, Suman lost her patience and went directly to his room.

"Sumu, what are you doing here?", Aman inquired, surprised by her sudden appearance..

"Have you seriously lost your mind? What have you turned yourself into?" Suman exclaimed with a mix of frustration and concern. "How many times must I apologize? Please, Amu, forgive me; without you, I can't imagine my life. This past week has been an absolute nightmare. Right now, I need you by my side, Amu. Yes, I'm in love with someone else, but that doesn't mean you won't still be a part of this journey," she implored Aman, her voice filled with regret and longing.

"Sumu, I'll always be there whenever you need me. I'm not angry with you, and I never will be," Aman assured her. "I just needed some time to sort things out, and now everything is starting to settle. But promise me this, no matter what happens, whether it's good or bad, I want to be the first person you turn to," he added, his tone filled with sincerity and affection.

"Promise... Pinky promise," Suman responded with a warm smile.

Then, both of them hugged each other tightly, embracing their rekindled friendship as if there were no tomorrow.

Aman had always harboured doubts about Rudhra possibly cheating on Suman. However, over time, Rudhra underwent a significant transformation and fell deeply in love with Suman.

Now Rudhra is not the same boy Aman had been friends with before. He has become more considerate and genuinely cares a lot about Suman.

One evening, Aman invited Suman and Rudhra to his home for dinner, with the intention of sharing some news with Rudhra, which Suman was already aware of. So Suman joined Aman's mother to assist with cooking, while Aman and Rudhra sat on the rooftop, engaging in a heart-to-heart conversation. 

Aman was about to speak, but Rudhra interrupted and repeated, "Aman, you've been friends with Suman for a long time, but let's be honest, have you never been in love with Suman?"

Aman responded, "Yes," but then he looked at Rudhra and grinned, adding, "As a friend, of course."

Rudhra chuckled and remarked, "That's true. I'm not sure if you'll ever fall in love with anyone."

Aman nodded and responded, "You're right; I'm pretty sure I never will." Deep down, Aman concealed his feelings for Suman.

Then Rudhra said, "You know, Aman, any girl who wins your heart will be incredibly fortunate."

Aman, surprised by Rudhra's words, quipped, "Oh, who's talking? You're usually the one commenting on my appearance and all."

"See, I know you are quite different from the rest of us, but your heart is something that not everyone possesses," Rudhra admired Aman, acknowledging the uniqueness of his character.

"Dude, I'm pretty sure you're not in your right state of mind," Aman teased with a smile. "Let's go."

"Aman, whether you agree or not, your love story will definitely be unique," Rudhra reiterated.

Aman laughed and replied, "My kind of people usually have below-average love stories, and I believe if anyone ever likes me, but anyway, thanks for your compliment."

Rudhra then grew serious and said, "You know, Aman, I can't imagine being without Suman. Can you promise me, that you will always be there for both me and Suman?"

"Yes, of course," Aman replied with a warm smile. 

Aman was about to discuss something important with Rudhra, but just then, Suman called them for dinner. Aman decided to inform Rudhra about it later, and the three of them headed to the dining table to enjoy their meal together.

"Oh, Aunty, the food is delicious," Rudhra complimented.

"I know, since Suman is the one who prepared it, it's bound to be delicious," Aman's mother added with a smile.

Suman's playful clarification brought smiles to everyone's faces, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere at the dinner table.

Suman expressed, "I'll definitely miss this food." As she spoke, a hint of nostalgia filled her voice.

Rudhra responded, "Why are you going anywhere?" He seemed genuinely curious about Suman's comment.

Suman glanced at Aman and said, "You didn't tell him." 

Aman lowered his head and tried to avoid the conversation

"What haven't you told me, Aman?" Rudhra inquired, now sensing that there was something important that he was unaware of.

Aman tried to downplay the situation, saying, "It's nothing serious. Let's eat, and we can talk later." He didn't want to disrupt the pleasant dinner atmosphere with a potentially difficult conversation.

After they had finished eating, Aman shared with Rudhra that he would be leaving India due to his father's business.

Rudhra, surprised by this news, asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier and when?" He seemed concerned that Aman hadn't shared this important information with him sooner.

Aman explained, "I was about to, but you seemed emotional, so I thought I would tell you later and  I'm leaving in two months" He had intended to share the news but had delayed it due to Rudhra's emotional state.

Rudhra, his voice filled with emotion, pleaded, "Don't go, Aman. I'll miss you." Suman, who had been quiet until then, became even more emotional than both of them, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Aman reassured them, saying, "Don't worry, the three of us will always remain friends."

Then the three of them shared a heartfelt group hug, their friendship and emotions tightly intertwined in that moment.
