Shubman’s POV
So here I am sitting with Ishan, Abhishek, Samiksha, and Tapasya at Ishan’s apartment. Kyuki agar bahar milte, to paps ne dekh liya hota... aur phir mushkil toh pakki thi.
We were all settled in the living room, a little hush-hush vibe in the air. Tapasya looked curious.
Tapasya: “So, Shub bhaiya, what do you wanna discuss?” (She's a year younger than me, but always the most enthusiastic.)
Everyone except Tapasya turned to glance at Samiksha. The look said everything.
Abhishek: “Aree Sam, tune ise bataya nahi?” Samiksha: “Agar ise bata deti toh raita kab ka fail chuka hota.” Ishan: “Matlab?” Samiksha: “Matlab ye ki Tapasya ke pet mein koi bhi baat digest nahi hoti. Ye kab ka Aku ko bata deti.” Shubman: “Haan Sam, accha kiya tumne... Aur Tapasya, suno-actually baat ye hai ki… I love Akanksha. And I want to confess. Mujhe tum logon ki madad chahiye.”
Ishan: “Okay, Sam and Tapasya, tum log batao-Akanksha ka koi aisa dream proposal type kuch hai?” Samiksha: “Actually... nahi. Uska koi specific proposal dream nahi hai. Bas itna kehti hai ki uska partner loving aur supportive ho.”
An Hour Later We all huddled together with snacks and notebooks like a proper mission planning.
Shubman: “So decided... Kal shaam ko 6 baje, Virat bhai ke farmhouse ke beach area pe tum dono(looks at Sam and Tapasya)Akanksha ko le aaoge.” Ishan: “Aur hum teeno decoration, setup sab dekh lenge.”
Plan locked. Heart unlocked. Butterflies flying.
Next Day Akanksha’s Room
Samiksha exchanged a quick glance with Tapasya and gave her the go-ahead.
Samiksha: “Signal de diya hai Tapu.” Tapasya: “Aku sun na yaar… hum bohot dino se farmhouse nahi gaye na?” Samiksha: “Haan yaar, aaj shaam chalte hai, kya kehti hai?”
Akanksha: “Haan accha idea hai… bhai se baat karni padegi”
But before she could finish, her knees buckled, and she collapsed.
Sam & Tapu: “AKANSHAAA!”
They screamed so loud, the whole house shook. Within seconds, Anushka bhabhi and Virat bhai rushed in.
Virat’s heart dropped. His baby sister unconscious.
He ran to her, lifting her gently and placing her head in his lap, his eyes wide in fear.
Virat (voice breaking): “Somebody call the bloody ambulance!”
Anushka had tears in her eyes. Sam dialed the ambulance immediately, and Tapasya rushed to the balcony to inform Rohit bhai and also called Ishan.
