Writer's POV
Zoya was with shreya and dev while shub was talking to one of their classmate.
Rest of the gang were planning about what to do to reunite zoya and shub....
Abhay: Aadhu...
Aadhya: yeah
Abhay: You should go and talk to Shreya, and make sure that she confess her true feelings about Dev...
don't let her be suspicious ok?
Aadhu: Guys... how am I supposed to do this? Why me ? Tell Ridhi or Yashu na?
Sahil: No baby, yashu can never be serious, and Ridhi said already that she can't do it.
Ridhi: yeah , if I ask her she will be suspicious.
Yashika: She's right, just do it na Aadhu.
Shaan: Yeah then only we can see what we can do to unite zoya and shub.
It's a must to know about her feelings. Otherwise we will have to see Shub and Zoya with their broken hearts everyday.
Can't you do this for them?
Don't you want to see them together like college days?
The most lovey dovey couple again?
He said while Aadhya got lost in her thoughts.
Aadhya: Ok fine, I will go.
Shaan: I knew my emotional blackmailing will work .
He said and high fived Ridhi who was next to him .
Aadhya glared at him.
Aadhya smacked his head and went towards shreya who was with zoya and Dev
Aadhya: Excuse me guys, Zoya , Dev ... Shaan is calling you both.
Dev: oh ok.
Aadhya: And let me catch up with shreya a little.
Shreya: yes yes come.
Zoya and dev joined the gang, while Aadhya got seated beside shreya.
Shreya: It's been so long since we spoke to each other na.
Aadhya:Yeah right, we got so busy in our lives that, we forgot to be in contact with our old friends.
Shreya: True, by the way how did you and sahil end up together?
Aadhya: so , We met again before few week backs in a charity Campaign....
we spent the whole week with each other,
and it made us more closer...
He confessed his love to me on the last day...
And obviously I said yes as he was my first love and the only guy who stole my heart....
I'm so blessed to have him in my life.
Shreya: yeah... you are lucky Aadhya..
Not everyone lucky like you to get their true love...
Aadhya: What do you mean Shreya?
I mean is there someone you love?
Shreya: umm.. no... no one.
Aadhya: come on Shreya, don't lie to me ... who is he? Is he from our college?
Shreya: ok fine ,no he is not from our college ,
we studied in the same school.
Aadhya: Ohhh... you guys were in a relationship?
Shreya: No Aadhu... we were best friends since childhood.
Maybe he always considered me as a friend.
But I loved him, truly.... in this past years I never fell in love with another guy...
It hurts when you have someone in your heart but can't have them in your arms.
Aadhya: you met him again?
Shreya: I did, but it's too late now... he is committed.... and I don't have any chance.
Tears were filled in shreya's eyes. Aadhya squeezed her hand to support her.
Aadhya: why don't you move on then shreya?
Why didn't you give up, when you already know that no use of waiting for him?
Shreya: It's hard to wait around something that you know might never happen, but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want.
Her words broke Aadhya's heart as she knew that she was talking about dev.
Shreya: I love him , but it kills me each and every day to see that he doesn't feel the same way too...
I'm happy for him but I'm unhappy that I'm not the author of his happiness.....
A tears slipped from Shreya's eyes. Even Aadhya's eyes were filled with tears.
Aadhya: can you tell me who's that? Because I can see how much you love him.
Shreya: It's Dev.... Aadhya , it's Dev whom I love since childhood.
Aadhya knew it and she sighed.
Aadhya: It must be really hard for you na ? To see him and zoya together?
Shreya: You can't even imagine how hard it is.
Aadhya gave her a sympathetic look.
Aadhya: You are a strong girl.
Shreya: Please don't let Dev and zoya know about this Aadhya.
Let them be happy in their life. I don't want to go between them.
Aadhya nodded and messaged others except zoya and shub, to meet her.
The gang made some excuses and went to meet Aadhya in the backyard of the college.
Abhay: you spoke to her?
Aadhya nodded.
Aadhya: She loves dev guys.... her love for him is unimaginable...
All the others sighed.
Yashika: Four lives are messed up ..... isn't there anything we could do to make all this fine ?
Sahil: We should tell the truth to Dev guys...
All looked at him shocked.
Aadhya: Not about Shreya's love for him please... I promised her that I won't tell zoya and dev .
Abhay: She will confess her love to him by herself
Shaan: but dev should know about shub and zoya
Ridhi: I'm scared guys... what if the things will get more complicated?
Abhay: We will have to take a risk.
Sahil: only three days are left, will tell him tomorrow?
All nodded with a worried face .
They joined others and they made a campfire and got seated around it.
Abhay: ok guys.... let's play never have i ever!!!!
All: Yess!!!!
Sahil: But you all have to be really honest..... no cheating and secrets between friends... so let's be honest guys...
All nodded
Sid: I will get the drinks.
Sid bought the drinks and served it to glasses with the help of Yashika....
then they gave the glasses to everyone.
Abhay: ok so Shaan, let's start from you?
Shaan: ok, Never have I ever missed a flight.
All took a sip except Aadhya and and laughed.
Yashika: Such a boring question... questions have to be interesting and embarrassing...
and we should get to know about each other a lot.
Shaan: So why don't you ask crackhead?
Yashika: ok,so Never have I ever got seriously hangover.
Most of the ones took a sip except shreya, Aadhya, Avu, zoya.
Zoya: So expected from you guys... drunkards
All laughed at her comment.
Sahil: Nevr have I ever told my parents
I was staying at a friend's house but was really somewhere else.

They shared an eyelock ... all noticed this and passed them a teasing smirk.
The gang cleared their throat breaking their eyelock.
Abhay: umm ok ,ok,my turn, never have I ever still in love with my ex .
Shub took a sip, few others took a sip too. All were eyeing zoya.
As expected she didn't take a sip.
