Author's POV:

"So will you love me back if I don't drink ever again?" He said more like whispered, making her freeze in her place; her heartbeat fastened, and the next moment she felt him leaning his head on her shoulder.

She held him firm, her heart thumping in her chest. She couldn't believe what she just heard. She took him inside and made him lay on the bed, covering him with a duvet. As she was about to leave, she felt his hand grabbing her wrist. She looked back to see him looking at her with his half-open teary eyes. "Stay, please," he mumbled, and her heart melted instantly.

She sat back on the bed, him laying on her left side, still holding her hand with both hands. After a while, when she noticed he was asleep, she removed her hand from his and went outside the room to tell Aayan. She spotted Aayan and Manvi talking to some friends.

She went towards them and excused themselves from the friends and took them to a corner. "Aayan sunn na jaldi ek kaam hei," she said hurridly. "Haan kya hua bol na," he said, and she explained everything and said, "Go and help him change his clothes; he must be uncomfortable sleeping in suit." Aayan went towards Reyansh's room.
("aayan listen na there's some work")
("yess what happen tell me")

The moment Aayan left them Amaira engulfed Manvi in a tight hug, her eyes brimming with tears. "Are kya huaa roo kyu rahi hei?" manvi asked, coming out of the hug, making Amaira look into her eyes, concern clear in her voice.
("hey what happen why are you crying?")

"Jo bhi reyansh ne bola kya vo sach rahega? What does he mean by love me back? Does he love me? Tomorrow, after waking up, will he remember what he said?" Amaira was questioning her thoughts without stopping for a bit.
("whatever reyansh said now will it be true?")

somehow Manvi stopped her unending questions and made her seat on the couch. She offered her water to drink. Taking a seat beside her, she took her palms in hers and said, "Look, Amaira, even though he was a little drunk, that doesn't mean whatever he said is fake; calm yourself down; don't think about unusual conditions; talk out everything with him tomorrow; ask him if he really meant it or not.".

"what If he doesn't remember anything, what If our friendship gets ruined, Manvi, I don't want to lose him." Amaira cried; Manvi Side hugged her and calmed her down.

She made Amaira understand that only conversation is going to solve the situation, and finally, after a while, Amaira understood.

Aayan came back after helping Reyansh change and made him sleep, covering him with a duvet. They informed his parents and asked them to give him hangover soup the next morning and left for their respective houses.

Next Morning

Reyansh's POV:

I woke up feeling a slight headache, and as I sat thinking about last night, I instantly remembered my words, "So will you love me back if I don't drink ever again?" Those words I said to Amaira rang in my head, and I immediately closed my eyes to remember the whole scenario after it, but I couldn't remember anything.

I sat there regretting about drinking the shot, "What will I say to Amaira? How will I face her now? Even if ever I wanted to confess, this is not the way to tell my feelings." I sat there questioning and scolding myself.

I don't want to ruin this friendship; I don't want to lose her; I don't want her to misunderstand anything.

What if she ignores me? What if we became strangers again? Many thoughts were running through my mind.

Author's POV:

After waking up, Amaira thought of texting Reyansh, but she was not sure if she should text him or not, so she kept her phone away and distracted herself by reading a book and completing assignments.

On the other hand, Reyansh freshens up quickly and checks his phone to see no message from Amaira, but when he opens Aayans chat, the whole scenario unfolds in front of him, and he decides to text Amaira.

Text Conversation

Reyansh: Hey

Amaira immediately checked her phone, hearing the notification. Seeing Reyansh message, her heart took a race, her mind filled with questions about whether she should text immediately or not, whether to ask him about last night or not.

On the other hand, Reyansh was getting impatient seeing her online but still not getting any reply. After 5 minutes that felt like eternity for both, she replied

Amaira: hey, morning

Reyansh: Yeah morning.

Amaira: :)

Reyansh: You guys went home safely, right? I am sorry I couldn't come to drop you all. I don't know how just a shot made me dizzy.

Amaira: It's okay; we got home safely.

Reyansh: um

Amaira: Are you feeling fine? sort of headache or anything?

Reyansh: No, I am fine now.

Amaira gathered the courage to ask him

Amaira: reyansh

Reyansh: yes?

Amaira: By anyhow, do you remember anything from yesterday after you had shot?

Reyansh: umm amaira  Can we talk about this topic in person? Can we meet today, please? Don't say no, please.

Amaira: Ok, let's meet. near the lake, at 12:00 noon.

Reyansh: Okay, done.

Amaira called Manvi after ending conversation with Reyansh...

Call Conversation:

Amaira: Manviiiii mei usse milke kya baat krungi, sab awkward horaha hei muje, use yaad rahe ya na rahe muje to yaad hei na, what If he says he doesn't remember anything, what will happen now?
("manvi what will I say after meeting him, I am feeling awkward, even if he forgets I still remember everything")

Manvi: amaira Calm down, listen to me, don't think about yesterday, tell me, do you really love Reyansh?

Amaira: Yes, I do. I don't want to lose him. Amaira cried on the call.

Manvi: Shh, don't cry; meet him; talk out everything, even if he remembers or does not confess your feelings.

Amaira: No, how can I suddenly confess to him?

Manvi: This is the only chance, Amaira; do it!

Amaira: do you really think this will work?

Manvi: yes, let's hope for best

Amaira: Okay, I will confess him today. I can't lie about my feelings towards him anymore, I can't call him just friend when I want him to be my man. But what if he rejects me? What if he has no feelings towards me?

Manvi : Areh, why are you overthinking already? Don't think anything now; go for it, Amaira.

Amaira: YES

And finally, after making her mind up, Amaira decided to confess Reyansh.
