Zoya's POV
Why do I feel that our gang is upto something,
I'm not getting any positive vibes from their behaviour ,
shub and Me behave normally with each other now, without being awkward,
but deep down our love for each other is still the same.
And I don't know what's going between dev and shreya.
Dev is still the same but I don't know i feel that there was something between shreya and dev....
who cares my life is already a mess ,why should I care about others.
Writer's POV
Next day they all were roaming around the place ,
they stopped near a ice cream hut... they used to come there when they were in college.
Yashika: oh god, I missed this place so much.
Sahil: Yeah we used to come here whenever we bunked college.
Shub: we had some unforgettable memories here..
Shub said while looking at Zoya... Zoya remembered their past.
Flashback
The gang bunked college and came to the ice cream parlour as usual as yashika wanted it.
They were busy having their ice creams ... when they heard Zoya giggling.
Zoya and shub were sharing a one ice cream.
Shub's arm was around her shoulder and she was leaning on his chest
Shaan: Guys, we can afford to buy another ice cream...
you both don't have to share one ice cream.
Shub: Stop being jelous dude.
Abhay: Why the hell are you both always lovey dovey.
Zoya: bcause we love each other and my boyfriend is very romantic.
Shub: Yes...
Yashika: But eeeww you guys are eating each other's spit.
Shub: So what ? Sharing is caring Yashu.
Aadhya: Stop annoying them yaar , they are cute.
Zoya: Aww yes , love you the most Aadhu.
Ridhi: oh don't lie zoya, we know who you love the most.
Shub: Ofcourse, she loves me the most.
Sahil: And here you go, Zoya Arora is a tomato now.
All chuckled as Zoya blushed and hid her face in Shub's neck.
Flashback over
Dev nudged Zoya bringing her back to present.
All knew that Zoya remembered their old memories...
Dev side hugged her.
Dev: Where were you lost?
Zoya:No, nowhere.
Zoya looked at shub, he was looking away.
Shreya was looking at them with a small but with a painful smile.
Ridhi: Oh god, look at the time guys... let's go back to the hotel...
________________________________________
They all went back to the hotel and went to get freshened up in their rooms. Yashika and Shaan were in their room.
Shaan: Ready baby? Shall we go?
Yashika nodded meekly.
Shaan pulled her towards him by her waist.
Shaan: What happened ?
Yashika: I'm scared,everything will be fine na ?
Shaan: Everything will be fine baby, don't worry, as long as our gang is together nothing can go wrong.
Yashika nodded with a small smile.
Shaan kissed her forehead and met the rest of the gang in the lobby of the hotel. Sid and avu were there too.
Shub and zoya were in their rooms.
Abhay: Sid , don't let shub come out looking for us ok?
Sid: Ok bhai.
Sahil: And Avu , take care of Zoya, She's already suspicious, you just have a conversation with her.
Avu: Ok bhai.
Sid and Avu went to Shub and Zoya's rooms.
While the gang took a deep breathe and left to Dev's room.
Abhay knocked on his door. Dev opened it and looked at them suprised.
Dev: hey guys... what's wrong?
Sahil: Can we come inside?
Dev: Sorry , yeah guys sure, come inside.
They all came inside his room.
Dev: Where's zoya and shub?
Ridhi: they doesn't know that we came to meet you.
Dev frowned.
Dev: Oh okay , get seated guys.
They all got seated in the couch and chairs.
While dev sat on the bed.
Dev: Is everything ok guys? It's really weird to see you guys tensed.
He said chuckling.
Aadhya: lets just go back guys.. let's not do this.
She wispherd.
Shaan: We have to tell you something Dev.
Dev: What's that? That you guys came without zoya and shub.
He asked as he knew that something was wrong for sure.
Ridhi: They don't know we are here, because they didn't want to tell you this. But we couldn't stop ourselves.
Dev: Woah, you guys are scaring the hell out of me.
Just tell what is it guys.
Sahil: Dev, Shub and Zoya were in a relationship when we were in college.
Dev: What?
It was really shocking for him.
Abhay: Yes , they were in a relationship for more than two years,
the most perfect and the lovely couple of the college, but on the farewell day they had to break up because of Zoya's dad.
Dev was too shocked react. He took a deep breathe.
Dev: Why are you ... guys telling me this now ?
Shaan: Because they still love each other....They have not movef on .
Dev: what the...
Shaan: Yeah dev,
they still love each other... in this six years they never stopped loving each other, they were so in love that still their feelings are same.
Shub always yearned for her... he confronted her, but she's not ready to come back to shub just because she doesn't want to break your heart.
Dev: Do you realise you are talking about my fiance's love life... don't you guys know how much I love her?
His eyes were glistened with tears.
Yashika: We know dev , that's why we are telling you this.
You should know the truth , I know we are being selfish as we just told you about your fiance's love ,
we know what you are going through. But dev , you should know that zoya loves shub,
anyone can see that, she will love him always , noone knows it better than us, but she is helpless as she doesn't want to break your heart
Dev: I love.... her.... I love her a lot.
They all shut their eyes, as they knew how hard it is for him.
Ridhi: We know Dev, we have seen that,
but we couldn't see zoya and shub broken like that,
we didn't have any other option than telling you all this,
we know it's hard for you and we know that you can understand that they are not at fault... nor you are ... the descion is yours dev, but we hope you will understand.
Abhay: I knew you before everyone dev, I never wanted to hurt you bro.
But even we are helpless..
but you deserve to know the truth...
I didn't want you to spent your life with someone who doesn't love you back... sorry buddy.
Tears were rolling down drop Dev's eyes.
All of them were quiet.
Dev: please go out guys... let me stay alone.
Abhay: Dev...
Dev: Just leave please!!! Leave me alone.
He said sternly.
They stood up to leave. Aadhya went near Dev.
Aadhya: Sorry dev, we know we broke your heart.
We never wanted to do that.
Remember one thing dev, that it's better to stay with a person who love you, than a person who you love...
And there's someone who loves you , since a long time,
just look around ,then you will find out who it is , it's not my place to tell her name. Take care dev.
Aadhya patted her back, and went out with others.....
Dev broke down into tears as he thought about what they said.
Gang came back to their rooms, they all were guilty... as they knew they just broke Dev's heart.
Ridhi was waking towards her room and Abhay stopped her holding her wrist.
Ridhi: Abhay?
Abhay: Ridhi, where are you lost
Ridhi: Did we do the right thing? I don't know , It was hurting to see dev like that.
Abhay: I know, Dev is a really nice guy, i know him since a long time becuase of our dads. He doesn't deserve this.
Abhay said with a worried face.
Ridhi hugged him tighly. Even he wrapped his arms around her.
Ridhi: Hope everything will be fine and dev will take a good descion. Don't worry Abhay.
They broke the hug. Abhay nodded and kissed her temple.
Abhay: Yeah, good night.
Ridhi: Good night.
They all went to bed but sleep was far away from them . They all didn't have any idea about Dev's descion.
