Not anymore??
Ishani and her best friend Akriti are at a cafe.
Akriti/Fl bestie
What's wrong?
Ishani/Fl
Nothing's wrong. They are the same and that's the problem.
Ishani/Fl
My parents want me to get married.
Akriti/Fl bestie
what the hell!!😵😵
Ishani/Fl
Dad thinks it's the right time for me to get married so now he won't listen to anyone. It's so frustrating. They just won't understand. Getting married is not a joke. And I don't want to end up like them. Never understanding each other and only ever breaking the other person's heart.
Akriti/Fl bestie
But it could be different. It's not all bad. Your parents are just one example not the damn condition. So it could really be different.
Ishani/Fl
I don't wanna gamble my whole life. What about my career. I have too much potential. I can't become someone's wife whose only work is to cook and clean.
Akriti/Fl bestie
I understand. But you know me. I got married and now I am happy. I don't know how but I got lucky with my husband and my in-laws. Maybe you'll be lucky too.
Ishani/Fl
That's just wishful thinking 😮💨
Akriti/Fl bestie
So did you manage to sell your painting?
This is the painting they are talking about.
Akriti/Fl bestie
Anyone who sees it will know you're a hopeless romantic.
Ishani/Fl
That painting has so much of my heart. And it breaks my heart to even think of selling it. One person even said they'd pay 10000 dollars for it. That's like 8 lakhs. That much money for a newbie artist will only happen in dreams.
Akriti/Fl bestie
Then what are you thinking about. Give it to them nah?
Ishani/Fl
No. I can't bring myself to do it.
Akriti/Fl bestie
You won't listen to me anyways. Do whatever you want.
Ishani/Fl
What can I say I'm my father's daughter.
Both laugh together forgetting about their problem.
Akriti/Fl bestie
Bro! Is that Nihith??
Turns to look at the direction she's pointing at.
The moment Isha looks at him, time seems to slow down. Suddenly her heart starts beating fast.
Akriti/Fl bestie
Your man is here for you babes.
Ishani/Fl
Oh shut up. He's not my man.
Akriti/Fl bestie
You sure??
Ishani/Fl
I had a crush on him when I was 18 okay?? Not anymore. It's been seven years.
Akriti/Fl bestie
The blush on your cheeks says a different story tho. 😏
Ignores her. Suddenly Nihith looks at her. And they make eye contact. Isha freezes, she forgets to even breathe.
Then Nihith gives an acknowledging nod and leaves without sparing a second glance.
Isha looks down feeling shaken.
Akriti/Fl bestie
*clears throat* So? Not anymore huh?😏😏
Ishani/Fl
Whatever makes you sleep at night.
