Author's Pov

It's 15 minutes before their performance, and Kashvii is sitting backstage, clearly uncomfortable. She's holding her stomach, her face a mix of pain and frustration. Kaustubh notices her discomfort from across the room and rushes to her side.

Kaustubh (kneeling down)- Kashvii, kya hua? Tum itni stressed kyun lag rahi ho??

Kashvii said by making a pout - Stomach ache ho raha hai, aur mood bhi kharab hai. Mujhe lagta hai, main yeh perform kar hi nahi paungi.

Kaustubh leans in closer, his expression soft yet concerned.
Kaustubh- Tumhe perform karna toh padega, but usse pehle tumhe relax karna zaroori hai.

Without hesitation, he pulls out a bar of her favorite chocolate from his bag and holds it out to her.

Kaustubh: Yeh lo. Tumhara mood fix karne ke liye chocolate ka koi jawab nahi.

Kashvii takes the chocolate, her eyes lighting up slightly.
Kashvii said - Dairy milk!! Pr tumhare paas yeh chocolate kese aur tumhe kese pata ki ye meri fav chocolate h ??

Kaustubh dramatically said - Mujhee toh sb kuch pta chal jata h . All thanks to your best friend and my bha..

Kashvii curiously asked - kyaa kyaa aage boloo , kya bhaa.

Kaustubh being nervous said - kuch nhii chodo na , chocolate khao.

Kaustubh in mind - agr mene tumhari best frnd ko abhi meri bhabhi boldiya toh tumhara pta ni kya reaction hoga , shayad murder vurder na krdo .

As she unwraps the chocolate and takes a bite, Kaustubh watches her intently. The way she visibly relaxes makes him smile. Kashvii notices his gaze and raises an eyebrow

Kashvii teasingly asked him - tum mujhee aise bandar ke jese kya dekhre ho ? Chocolate khanii h kyaa ??

He said by leaning closer - Khanii toh hai pr tumhare haatho se.

Kashvii freezes mid-bite, her cheeks flushing as Kaustubh's face is now mere inches from hers. His voice drops to a whisper, making her heartbeat quicken.

Kaustubh more teasingly said - khilaoo na

Just as Kashvii looks up into his eyes, the moment charged with quiet intensity, a loud voice cuts through.

Isha (Kaustubh's sister)- Ahem! Agar aapka private moment khatam ho gaya ho, toh yaad dila du ki performance ke liye sirf 10 minute bache hain.

Kaustubh muttered - aagyi hamesha ki tarah kabab mein haddi banne .

Startled, Kashvii jerks back, almost choking on her chocolate. Kaustubh sighs deeply, running a hand through his hair, clearly annoyed.

Kaustubh glaring playfully at Isha told - tu hamesha galat time pe kyun aati hai .

Isha mischievously answers - areey toh ap gate band kyun nhii krtee. Itnaa hi private moment chalra tha toh.
