Chapter 10 - BREATH TAKING MOMENT

ON THE TERRACE

Abhi: (Of course! How can she remember me after 6 months? She might have found someone new…)

"Sure, let's go!"

(They walk silently. Wind blows gently. The terrace is quiet, just the sound of birds in the background.)

Abhi:(thinking)

(Why isn't she saying anything… It's so awkward! I think I should say something to make her feel comfortable.)

"Hmm... How have you been?"

Ishana:(thinking)

(How am I going to tell him I'm a lesbian? Ugh... why does it have to be him? Think, Ishana! You can't marry him, right?)

"Ohh... I'm good."

Abhi:

"That's great. Tell me something about yourself."

Ishana:(thinking)

(Say it now. Just tell him. You're a lesbian. This is your chance!)

"Hmm... I'm a doctor. I work in this hospital. I'm a cardiac surgeon. And... I don't like to talk much."

(takes a deep breath)

"Also... I have no interest in boys."

"One more thing — what you heard from my parents about me — it's not true. I don't have any quality that would make you like me."

Abhi:(confused)

*"Wait… what did you just say? You're a lesbian?"

"Who's going to believe this nonsense?"

Ishana:(serious)

"I'm speaking the truth. I'm a lesbian."

Abhi:(pauses, then smiles slightly)

"Okay… then let me test you."

"Also, just so you know… I don't mind if you are a lesbian."

(He walks closer to her. She steps back slightly, but he grabs her waist gently. Pulls her closer. There is no space left between them now.)

Abhi:(thinking)

(I'm losing control… Her red lips… they're so close… They're pulling me in… I must control myself…)

(He moves closer to her lips. She just stares at him, lost in thoughts. The moment is intense. Just when he's about to kiss her—)

Ishana:(suddenly pushes him back, breathing heavily)

"Stop!!"

(Abhi stumbles a little and comes back to reality. His heartbeat is fast. So is hers.)

Abhi:(smirking)

"If you're really a lesbian… then I don't think you should feel anything, right? Even if I come this close?"

Ishana:(thinking angrily)

(What the hell is he doing!? How can he touch me like that!? Why did he grab my waist — that's a really sensitive place…)

(I was lost in his eyes… and I didn't even notice he was about to kiss me… That moment… it took my breath away!)

(If I hadn't pushed him… he would've kissed me…)

(She gathers herself, straightens her hair, and looks at him firmly.)

Ishana:

"I don't need to prove anything to you."
