Some reunions are beautiful. This wasn't one of them.
You hadn't seen Abhishek Sharma, 25 years old, an all rounder cricketer and your ex boyfriend in years. Years of silence. Years of pretending you'd moved on. Years of avoiding old photos, old memories, and every song that reminded you of him.
And now, somehow, here he was. Because his younger sister was marrying your brother.
The wedding resort had been chaos since morning. Relatives everywhere. Decorations. Last-minute arrangements. Endless conversations about marriage.
Especially yours.
"Such a good proposal."
"Your engagement should be next."
The words followed you everywhere. By the time evening arrived, you were exhausted. All you wanted was a few hours alone so you went to your assigned room.
The room key clicked against the lock. You pushed the door open. And froze. Someone was already inside. Abhishek looked up from where he sat on the edge of the bed. For a second, neither of you moved. Neither of you spoke.
Your eyes dropped unintentionally to his wrist and your breath caught.
The bracelet.
The simple bracelet you'd given him years ago.
He is still wearing it because he never moved on. He cannot when he loved you from his whole heart.
The reality crashed on you that you have to share bed with your ex. And finally, your eyes met.
