Varun's POV:
(The Dhawan household)

Holding her felt like I was holding the world. Cliche, I know, but you cannot blame me if I actually feel this way. It's stupid, I know. The thought itself, makes me wanna rethink my life decisions. She is my best friend and nothing more. Yet, I want to hold her like this. Just for one moment, for a little while longer. I don't know the reason behind me feeling this way. I really don't and neither do I want to know. It's fine how it is. Left at the brink of uncertainty.

Although, somewhere deep, I know the answer, but I would never go there.

'Let's just keep it the way it is.'

I was thinking about that, when suddenly I was pushed away. I hated the fact that her warmth left my body, it made me feel cold and dull.

Shraddha's POV:

As soon as I lost contact, it felt like something was snatched away from me. I burried those thoughts, deep down in my brain.

Looking ahead, I saw Varun. His eyes flashed emotions of something between betrayal and dejection. If I looked too deep, I could also see-

I stopped my thoughts there. My walls were back up and this time they were higher than usual. I was not gonna let  absurd emotions take over me. The glint in my eyes changed and Varun noticed that.

There are reasons why I am like this. There are reasons why I have built my walls up so high. Back in the day, I was so gullible anything and everything made me happy. I trusted people way too easily. I always listened to my heart. I always made sure that the people I dearly loved were safe. In the end, everything was splintered in front of my eyes.

Emotions make you weak. Your loved ones, who were once your strength, turn into your biggest weakness.

Looking at the guy in front of me, I knew one thing for sure. He has been my weakness since I was 6. But I am not the same anymore now, I don't have any weaknesses or at least I think so.

I am simply going to talk to him for the actual reason, I came here for.

Varun's POV:

She stood there, I could see that there were a million thoughts in her little brain right now. Her gaze changed, it turned from deep thinking to that of determination. I didn't really like where this was going.

She stepped forward, closing in the gap between us. Standing in an arm's length. Her gaze was cold, her expression serious and her posture confident.

"I am going to get straight to the point. The actual reason I am here for." She said in a cold voice. I was baffled at her duality. One minute she was chirkut, the next minute she was 'The Shraddha Kapoor'.

"I am not gonna ask you anything related to Natasha, because I know you are not interested in telling me anything. That's fine. I am here to end the fight we had 3 weeks ago. I already said I forgave you the other day when we talked." She said in a softer tone, yet there was a hint of indifference.

I am glad, this whole thing is sorted. I really wouldn't be able to stand another day with this argument of ours. If she didn't appear at my house today, I was planning on secretly entering her apartment tonight. 'Thank God I didn't have to do that.' I smiled my brightest smile.
