ONE MONTH LATER…

“Why do we need a counsellor, Harsh?” I banged on my table while the cutleries bounced up a little.

“Advika, listen. I don't think we're being right nowadays. It was like the friction between us was intensifying. And, I don't like that. If you come with me for once, I'm sure this shall make a change,” Harsh lowered his volume and neck at once.

I wish I could say, “I don't need a relationship counsellor. And, I don't need you.” But, no. I think he's right. I think we must give it a shot.

“I think… Let me think about this and tell you tomorrow.” I whispered goodbye and strolled out of the Chinese restaurant, carrying my sling bag tighter than before.

Harsh asked me whether we could visit a relationship counsellor.

This pressure he's building on me makes me think whether this is the time to split ways. I don't think I'm mature enough to handle him. I feel like screaming that it's over between us.

But, I don't have the guts to do it. Even a small question he asks is so problematic that it leaves me in trauma. Breaking a relationship is a big no for now. But, continuing this is also a big danger for both of us.

I'm technically exhausted right now. Good night!

Maybe, Advika and Harsh badly need damage control.

Or, ending this is the best damage control?

How will Ishaan react to this this time?
