Hey Aashii 🤗 Thank you so much aashi! I know. I have always loved diary writing. It calms you down so much. You don't even need to confide in anyone if you have a diary!Originally posted by: aashizin
wow once again amazing upd manjiii 👏u penned it down amazingly 👏loved the way u started upd with gun's pov penning down in diary gunjan is person who hold each and every moment in her heart and treasure it and it proves with her obsession to pen down each and everything in diary i guess she shares everything to diary ,i loved the way samrat came to rescue gunjan and saved from big world war of clarie and gunjan 😆
hmm so samrat didn't like gunjan dancing with other guy it was shocking to see samrat reacting in this way but i guess deep within he has always feeling for her lets see what will happen now it seriously hurt gunjan the way samrat behaved with her when u trust one person so much and when that person break ur trust its so much painful to handle and same happened with gunjan hope she will be fine soon and samrat will clarify thanks for pm and do upd soon 🤗
Hey Ayesha 🤗 Thank you so much! Well, obviously since you are reading from Gunjan's POV you and Gunjan think alike and feel alike. So thats why both of you are wondering what is wrong with Samrat. But sadly, only Samrat can tell us that!Originally posted by: -BurningDesire-

Poor Gunjan , I really want to know what was wrong with Sam ? by the way the twist in the story is interesting!!

Hey ria 🤗 Thank youu soo much! I am glad you enjoyed the update! Obviously she wouldn't have felt good about the kiss na?!Originally posted by: ria_lovesajan
Awsum part Manji!!! 🤗 🤗
I love the way how you write down each and every word so nicely!
Samrat was hillarious in the first half of the update! 🤣 🤣
I was literally shocked at the second half! Samrat kissed Gunjan?? 😲 But that's not much of shock as he has feelings for her, he is only yet to realize them, isn't it? 😳 I wonder how Gunjan must be feeling after the kiss... she was so confused and several questions ran in her mind! 🤔
Do continue soon... and sorry for late comment, was pretty busy in replying to comments on my FFs! 😆
Love,
Ria.
<3 The Aftermath <3
The next morning my eyes sprang open as soon as sunlight entered my room. I couldn't sleep all night. I kept tossing and turning in bed just thinking about all the absurd happenings of the evening. Everything had happened so suddenly that I had barely got a moment to take in everything. I wanted some answers, actually a lot of them.. But how? How would I go and talk to him today? Will I be able to keep my voice stable? What will I even ask him.. Why did you kiss me in front of all our college friends?
I sat up in bed, sore and tired with lack of sleep. I pulled out my diary to write about last night. I opened the diary, held the pen in my hand and just stared blankly. I didn't know what to write? Until I understood what was going on what would I write? That Samrat kissed me. That I am hurt by what he did? It shouldn't have happened. I don't know what the whole college would be thinking at the moment? What would I write? I didnt know how I felt. Samrat had just walked up and kissed me. I didnt know how to perceive it. I don't even know if I kissed him back?!
"Good Morning!" Dia blasted into my room with coffee. My eyes widened looking at her. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Bringing you coffee on another ordinary day!" she said in her normal chirpy voice. I wanted to tell her that there was nothing 'ordinary' about this day and that I exactly knew what she was trying to do. Yesterday I had cried alot and she had brought me home, so as my best friend she was just making sure I was ok. I just felt betrayed. I trusted him. I mean, I told him everything.. every single secret I had, and in return he kisses me in public.?! What the hell.
"Get up and get ready!" she ordered handing me the coffee. I looked at my watch, "Its just 7!" I said lazily. "We are going early to school. Mayank is teaching me a lesson, even your coming!" she said. I laughed a little. It didnt make me feel any better so I stopped. I drank coffee and then got dressed for college. According to Dia I needed some girls time out so Dia would hang out with me the whole day today! Great. I couldn't even sit alone and sulk. She drove me to college ofcourse. I was having a very bad feeling while walking through the corridors. Dia turned and looked at my face every minute just to see if I was crying or something. "It's going to be fine Gunjan.." she whispered as she heard a couple talking about me and Samrat. Huh. I had to bear that, didn't I? Basically I was the laughing stock now. I was sure there must be messages going around about me. I tried not to think about it. I knew I had to stop thinking about all the bad stuff but I couldn't stop. I could see the long corridor I had to cross before entering the library. As I walked down the corridor I heard atleast ten people stare at me or pass a comment to someone standing next to him/her. The first person who stopped to talk was the one person after Samrat who I didn't want to even look at, Claire. Clearly she is still obsessed with Samrat, Well Breaking News Claire, He is ALL Yours. "Hey Gunjan, you finally did it eh?" she smirked. I ignored. "Im surprised. I couldn't believe what happened either. It took Samrat 2 months to kiss me and for you.. It took 1 week after he broke up with me. How nice!" she said. I could have punched her right across her face if Dia wouldn't have interfered. "Just shut up Claire, You dumped Samrat right? So how do you care what Samrat and Gunjan do?" Dia fired. "You stay out of this." Claire warned. "And Gunjan, I know you've wanted to be with him all your life, but what I don't get is why did you slap him? Will that make him want you more?" she smiled. She made look so cheap and manipulative. Why would I ever do that? "Look Claire, I don't know what you think, but like always my answer remains the same, I. Am. Not. Interested. I don't like Samrat. Frankly speaking, after yesterday I don't even know where our friendship stands.. So you have him all to yourself. Happy?" I said pushing past her and a flock of girls who had gathered around to hear me out. There. I had said it. Claire could just go to hell.
Where was Samrat anyway? Was he hiding in some corner of this college, unable to face me? How would he, after what he had done he better just stay away. I don't know what I would do on seeing him, run away? Or just hit him with all my strength, again. I don't think I will have to face him for sometime. He would be having a hangover in the morning and when he would realise what he had done last night he can sit at home and sulk alone. I dont care. He just lost himself a friend. How could I be friends with him after this? He is just a stupid womaniser! "Good Morning!" Mayank said looking at me. Really? Even he was on Dia's side? He looked at me as if I would cry any second and he would have to jump by my side to comfort me. I could see pity in his eyes. So I avoided eye-contact with him. I DONT WANT PITY OK!!! I screamed in my mind. I just wanted to run away, far far away where no one knows me. Mayank started with the lesson. What was Samrat even thinking? Did he actually like me or something? NO. I was thinking weird things now. How can he like me? I mean I have never shown any interest in him. Ew. Not Samrat! He was my best friend and the only person I could confide in at the moment but now it was different. I couldn't tell anyone anything. I had no idea where my life was going. Only if dad would have been alive I could ask him to go punch Samrat. He shouldn't have done that. I feel so alone now. What will I do all day in college. Suddenly I was all shaken up, "HELLO?" Dia said loudly. She was immediately shushed by the people around as she was sitting in the library. I had just immersed myself in my sorrow and pathetic life so I had no idea what he had been talking about. "Gunjan, I have almost finished 3 pages!" he said. "I am sorry.." I said getting up, "I'll catch you later dia.." I said leaving the library. I was feeling claustrophobic inside here. As I stepped out of the room I regretted leaving the library. There he stood. Looking around. Was he finding me? Before thinking twice I turned the other way and started power walking down the other way. In no time he stood in front of me. Gaah. I forgot who I was running from. He played basketball! I didnt look up at him. I just tried to run away. I wasn't strong enough to face him yet. I needed some time. "Gunjaaan!" benji said jumping out from nowhere. I love you benji! I wanted to tell him. He pulled me away from Samrat and started talking about rubbish. He was talking about this girl whom he wanted me to meet. He said that he needed help in getting a date with her or something, but I guess he was helping Dia in her job or something. I was just glad I was away from him atleast.
"Gunjan stop, I need to talk!" Samrat said holding my arm. I didn't react but for the first time his touch made a difference. I didnt know what had changed but now I felt a shiver run down my spine as he touched me. "You can't run away from me all your life, can you?" he said softly. He was right. I had to face him sometime, and here it wasn't my fault. It was his fault so why was I running? I stiffened myself up and after gathering some courage looked up at him. In a jiffy, I had softened. His eyes. They were red like he had barely got any sleep either, were mine red too? I could see pain in his eyes. "I am sorry." He said. I looked away. I didn't have anything to say. I couldn't speak nor could I forgive him. "Can I speak to you for 5 minutes.. Give me a chance to explain please." He pleaded. I turned around. What explanation could he have for what he had done? Being drunk was not an explanation nor an excuse! "Great.." he said. I stopped to listen, "I am not even worth an explanation right? You just leave me and go. The End. Best friends do that.." Aah. Now I had to give him a chance. He always made me give up. Where did he get his friggin' dialogues from? So filmy. I helplessly turned around and walked back. "What?" I asked. He smiled a little and I frowned at him. "Its not very appropriate to flash your stupid smile now!" I commented. He went back to normal. "Not here, come with me.." he held my arm pulling me. I pulled away. "Where are we going?" I asked. I wouldn't want to give him the idea that I still trusted him. I should be a little angry. "Gelato." He said. "I am driving!" I stated. "Cool with me." And then it clicked. I didn't get my car today, Dia drove me to college. "I don't have my car." I bluntly said. He grinned and then realising that I was not liking it, he stopped. "Then the only option is you let me drive you, unless you know how to ride a bike?!" I gave up and followed him out. Benji just blankly stared at me and seeing no emotion from my side he left. It was even weirder on the bike. I had to sit so close to him. It never felt this way before. I put my hand on his shoulder. I never felt so awkward around him like I was feeling today. It felt like he was a stranger. I always understood him so well but suddenly he seemed so far away. There was a jerk and he stopped in front of the ice-cream parlour. We got a seat for two and he ordered a chocolate ice-cream. I wasn't in the mood for an ice-cream. Not now atleast.
He sighed. "Tell me. What's your explanation?" I asked. I knew what it would be, I was drunk Gunjan, I didnt think straight. I was confused. It just happened...! "I am so so sorry Gunjan! After what happened yesterday, benji shook me up and screamed until I was sober. Then he told me what I had done. I am so so ashamed of myself Gunjan.." he said with his head bowed down before me. I kind of felt sorry for him. "You know I would have never done that if I was sober. I swear I will never drink again. Just please don't act as if you don't know me. Just please don't run away when you see me. You are the closest I have to a family here.." he said. I could see tears in his eyes. I had tears in mine too. I didn't know how to react. "I was almost half way to your house when Benji stopped me. He said I had already created a big scene. He thought you needed sometime alone..Otherwise I would have apologized yesterday itself. I don't know what I was thinking. We both know how much this friendship means to me. If it didn't I wouldn't be here in Dubai.. I would be with my family in US." he mentioned. How was any of this an explanation? "This is your explanation? Samrat explanation means giving reasons for why you did something.. not what happened after you did something wrong!" I told him sternly. "I don't have an explanation. I can't lie to you Gunjan.. you can see right through me.. I can't help it. I did what I did, I can make any excuse. Can you forget it and give your best friend another chance?" he said. There, he had put me in a fix now. What should I do.. I didn't know. I needed time to think. I just couldn't go ahead and forgive him, though I knew I would end up doing that but.. how can I? Will I be able to? It's never going to be the same anymore. "Samrat.. I.. I.. need some time.. I understand what you're saying.. But its hard to forget it Samrat.." I wasn't sure what else I could tell him. "I know how you're feeling.. I really do. And where am I going? You have all the time you need.." he said, and then added cheekily, "Till then, I'll just be sitting lost and lonely, somewhere in some corner of the college.." His expressions made he laugh. Samrat and his dialogues. Even now he had dared to say something like that. He was the only person who could make such a big mistake and still make me laugh. God I hate him. "Much better" he said smiling. Yeah yeah. He still cared. He wanted me to smile. What would I do with him? He was such a jerk. How could someone be a jerk and make you laugh at the same time. "Can we go? We have Technical Drawing in fifteen minutes. I can't miss that!" I said as stern as I could be.

Hey Guys 🤗
Many people wanted Samrat's POV also. But that will just kill the whole point of this Fic.I really want to clear this now, this entire fic is from Gunjan's POV. You will not know any more than Gunjan knows. Its her fairytale. If I give you Samrat's POV now then you will know what Gunjan doesn't so then it becomes tough to feel the way she feels. It will be difficult for you'll to empathize with her or connect with her. Obviously you all are free to make assumptions about what Samrat must be thinking or what his actions meant. Even Gunjan will do that. But you will come to know everything as and when she comes to know. 1st person point of views are tough to understand because you are seeing the whole situation from someone else's pov. You may not think the same way but the person convinces you to think like that. When Gunjan will dislike Samrat you will do the same because she will convince you to. That is what I am trying to do here. If you have read the comments on this fic, you will see everyone assumed something totally different. Here are some :1. Samrat has feelings within him but he fails to realise what.2. Samrat is already in love with Gunjan but he doesnt want to tell her. he was drunk so he kissed her.3. Samrat was drunk. no feelings.4. Samrat didnt like Gunjan dancing with his competitor. so as he was drunk that feeling was hightened and he ended up kissing her to show his right over Gunjan.Everyone thinks differently, but what Gunjan thinks here will be told. What Samrat thinks you will find out later! Then you can check whether you were right or wrong! Hope you understand. If anymore questions feel free to ask!Love,Manjari :)I am planning to write a friendship story. I will choose the love interest of Paras Kalnawat and Karan Kundra according to the choice of the...
