Chapter 9:

Confrontation and Closure

When Hearts Connect


Ravish proved his innocence, sharing screenshots and even his social media passwords, leaving Shruti shocked. Despite her lingering feelings for Raj, she began chatting with Ravish regularly, and their friendship grew stronger. Akankshi often joined their conversations, and the three would laugh and tease each other on evening conference calls.
Shruti confided in Ravish about her lingering love for Raj and asked for his help in rekindling their relationship. Ravish, smitten with Shruti, agreed to help despite his own feelings. However, Akankshi cautioned Shruti that forcing a relationship with Raj wouldn't lead to genuine love.
Ignoring Akankshi's advice, Shruti persuaded Ravish to convince Raj to give their relationship another chance. Raj initially agreed, but soon grew bored and blocked Shruti again. Shruti realized Akankshi had been right and felt hurt and disappointed.
Ravish apologized for his failed attempt at reconciliation, feeling guilty for not being able to help Shruti. But Shruti reassured him, valuing their friendship and refusing to give it up. Despite the setbacks, their bond remained strong, a testament to the power of true friendship.

Shruti's conversations with Ravish were once again filled with discussions about Raj. One day, while on a call with Ravish, Shruti received a call from Raj, who was with his girlfriend. Without saying a word, Shruti answered, and Raj and his girlfriend began abusing her. Shruti remained silent, and when the call ended, she told Ravish everything. Ravish was furious and called Raj, warning him not to contact Shruti again.


That evening, Shruti confided in Akankshi, who was outraged and suggested calling Raj's girlfriend to give her a piece of their minds. In a conference call, Shruti and Akankshi lashed out at Raj's girlfriend, who reported back to Raj. Raj tried calling Shruti again, but she conferenced in Akankshi and Ravish, and together, they gave Raj a piece of their minds. Raj called Ravish, pleading with him to intervene, but Ravish stood firm, telling Raj to leave Shruti alone.


Though Shruti's interactions with Raj had come to an end, her love for him remained unwavering. She promised Ravish she would never contact Raj again, but her heart still belonged to him.
