-A love in New York-

BY AARYAN

Ishaan likes the New York very much one day Ishaan's parents promised that they are going to take Ishaan to New York this summer, Ishaan

got so excited hearing the news, the summer

is six months away but Ishaan started planning things from now, Ishaan planned what places to visit and what to do, Finally

the summer comes but Ishaan's parents

couldn't make the trip this time as they have so much work to do in the office, so they promise Ishaan that they will go for

during the winter holidays, Ishaan felt bad but anyways he is going to New York at least in winter so he felt happy.

The winter arrives but Ishaan's parents couldn't make this time also, they said they are canceling the plans, Ishaan felt so sad Ishaan lived in sadness for some days, one day Ishaan's mom noticed Ishaan’s sadness and discussed the issue with Ishaan's dad and they planned to send Ishaan for a three months trip to the New York, one day While Ishaan was sitting alone in his room Ishaan's parents knocks on Ishaan's door and surprises Ishaan with flight tickets,

Ishaan lost words seeing those tickets; Ishaan ran to take that boarding pass from his mom’s hands and hugged his mom.

Finally, the day arrives Ishaan puts on his headphones, plays some pop songs in his headphones, and gets into his cab. The whole journey is like a pop song for Ishaan.

Ishaan steps into New York and feels excited, Ishaan’s uncle comes to pick him up from the airport during the whole drive Ishaan sticks his head outside the window wondering about those tall skyscrapers in New York seeing those tall buildings in the New York Ishaan was amused, As Ishaan is inside the F.R.I.E.N.D.S web series

universe set he felt like he is in the set of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S series,

Even though Ishaan was born in India Ishaan's mindset is like a foreigner’s mindset he listens to only pop songs, he watches only Hollywood movies, he watches all the Hollywood interviews, and he is an American basketball fan. For Ishaan the tall buildings and sky crappers in front of him feel like they are straight from a movie, Ishaan feels like he is in a dream.

Ishaan finally arrives at his uncle's house, as soon as he arrives at his uncle's house, as the car stops in the driveway Ishaan opens the door and runs towards Kushi and hugs her,

Kushi is his uncle's daughter.

Kushi and Ishaan are friends since childhood, Ishaan's parents and Kushi's parents were also very close friends when Ishaan was 10 years old Kushi's parents got transferred from India to New York's main branch so Kushi along with her parents moved to the New York, Until then Kushi and Ishaan's both of their houses were opposite to each other they both used to play a lot when they were kids they were very close but when Kushi moved to New York Ishaan felt bad and Ishaan decided to meet Kushi one day,

It is his dream to visit the New York and meet Kushi in the New York, even though left India ten years ago Ishaan never spent a single week without talking to her on video call ever since, he calls her at least once a week, the waiting of 10 years finally over, finally Ishaan meets Kushi so as soon as Ishaan arrives at the house he runs to Kushi and hugs her.

Ishaan after hugging her Ishaan talks with her for hours about his journey experience, Ishaan falls asleep on the couch while talking, then Kushi brought a pillow for Ishaan, Ishaan's uncle lifted Ishaan’s legs and kept them on the couch and Kushi lifted Ishaan's head and kept a pillow under his head.

Ishaan slept for 15 hours and woke up and saw his aunt working in the kitchen, Ishaan searched the whole house for Kushi but couldn't find her anywhere,

Kushi's mom told Ishaan that Kushi went to the college and she will be back home in a couple of hours,

Ishaan couldn't wait till then so Ishaan asked for the college address opened the maps, and went to Kushi's College to pick her up, Kushi was shocked to see Ishaan at her College.

Ishaan came by walk to her college Kushi was shocked to see Ishaan at the college gate, they both met and Kushi introduced Ishaan to all her friends instead of taking the college bus Kushi walked back home with Ishaan they both walked through the streets of Brooklyn, Picking up and dropping Kushi continued for next five days after then Kushi’s stayed at home to spend time with Ishaan. As Kushi is staying at home Kushi and Ishaan now spent most of the time together, Ishaan likes to mess with Kushi and Kushi likes to mess with Ishaan,

As Kushi's parents have an office they couldn't take them on tours so Kushi took Ishaan to all the places in New York, every day in the morning Ishaan and Kushi pack a bag full of food, and sanitary things and starts their adventure, daily Ishaan and Kushi decide where to go and then they go to New York subway and they travellled in Subway,

Kushi and Ishaan traveled the whole NewYork together,

When Ishaan and Kushi were at Times square he asked a street photographer to take their picture together so at the time of pose Ishaan kneels on one leg

And holds Kushi's hand, Kushi thought Ishaan was proposing and she got scared but Ishaan has just wanted a picture in that pose,

Ishaan kneeling on one leg holding Kushi's hand the picture was an epic thing, Ishaan loved that pic the posed the view in the picture.

When Ishaan was kneeling and holding Kushi's hand Kushi thought Ishaan was proposing and she got scared,

It was the new-years night, There was new year celebrations event at Kushi’s college so Kushi took Ishaan with her to the party, Ishaan wore a black suit and Kushi wore a red dress, all the youngsters there were dancing with each other in couples so Ishaan and Kushi were also forced to dance together Ishaan and Kushi started dancing with each other Ishaan, Ishaan doesn't know how to dance so he followed others as the other's hands were on the hips of their partners Ishaan also placed his hands on Kushi’s hips,

Ishaan placed his hands on Kushi’s hips like the others placed their hands with their partners he was following the others but Kushi inside started feeling the butterflies in her stomach when Ishaan touched her hips, Kushi made eye contact with Ishaan, as the part of dance now it’s the time for all the partners have to change their partners as now Ishaan has another woman in his hands as his dance partner, Ishaan is dancing with his new partner the same way he did with

Kushi, Kushi also now has another man with her as her dancing partner but Kushi’s eyes are looking into Ishaan’s eyes,

Kushi didn't take her eyes off the Ishaan’s eyes during the whole event, Finally, it was 12:00 everyone kissed their partner so Ishaan also kissed Kushi, Ishaan was in a party mood as this all is new to him all the dancing party is a first time for him so he is in an excited mood so he didn't notice Kushi when Ishaan hugged Kushi hugged him tightly Ishaan didn't care, after the event is over Kushi and Ishaan were walking to home, during the whole twenty minutes walk Kushi didn't speak a single word, They reached the house and they both went into their rooms and slept.

Ishaan had a long sleep due to tiredness and Kushi had a long sleep because of some feeling that she didn’t know what it is.

until they both woke up, Kushi’s parents went to work,

Kushi was calmly watching binge Netflix then Ishaan comes downstairs and again starts talking about the night with Kushi after Ishaan spoke for straight two hours non-stop Kushi suddenly comes near Ishaan and kissed him and leaves Ishaan is in shock,

After Kushi left Ishaan went to Kushi’s room and asked Kushi

“What the hell happened back there just now?”

Kushi replied:

“We shared a kiss”

Ishaan said

“I know that but it is not a regular common kiss it felt different”

Kushi said

“Yes it felt different because it is different”

Then Kushi opened up to Ishaan and said she got feelings for Ishaan since they both danced together Ishaan was confused then Kushi came near Ishaan and again kissed Ishaan this time Ishaan also kissed her,

Their kiss lasted for 2 hours then they both cuddled and slept on the couch watching Netflix. In the evening they both went to a movie together.

At the house, they were casual as soon as they got into the cab they held each other’s hands, and upon arriving at the movie theatre

Kushi Held Ishaan’s hand during the whole movie, they both were kissing the whole time,

It’s been three months since Ishaan arrived in New York and only fifteen days left for Ishaan. After fifteen days Ishaan has to return to India.

So Ishaan said

“I am leaving in fifteen days”

“What happens after I leave? Do you wanna continue a long-distance relationship or do you wanna end it?”

Kushi said

“It’s better to end this relationship and continue as friends”

“You will not live here forever so this thing is not gonna work out let's end this” “You are grown up in India and I have been grown up in New York our tastes and our thinking will not match and it’s better to end this now”

“Let’s think all of this just like a date”

Ishaan felt bad about being breakup but he didn’t want to ruin the friendship so he just nodded his head to whatever Kushi said,

After all the nodding Ishaan said

“We shouldn't have to end this now, we had a great time together as friends and as lovers so we started this happily so we will end this happily, let’s enjoy these fifteen days together like these are our last days alive”

Ishaan and Kushi enjoyed themselves together and had so much fun together in the last 15 days,

And finally, the day arrived it was time for Ishaan to leave,

At the airport Kushi while saying sendoff Ishaan told Kushi.

"We may have ended our relationship but we will continue our friendship forever" "You are my Kushi forever"

Kushi also said

"Let’s be friends forever"

Kushi promised to be in touch with Ishaan, and Ishaan returned to India.

One day Kushi called and said don't worry we are breaking up because I couldn't be with you as I was once there with you,

Kushi said

"You are a good person, you are nice, sweet, kind, caring and you will find a better person than me."

and also asked to delete all the pictures they took together,

For Ishaan, those pictures were memories but still making his heart stone Ishaan deleted those pictures,

Ishaan realized that Kushi is never going to be the old Kushi again and he accepted the fact and tried to move on.After a few days, Kushi cut all contacts with Ishaan and never lifted Ishaan’s calls again. The thing which remained a secret here is Ishaan actually wanted to shift to

New York permanently to continue his further studies in the next two months he arranged most of the things back in India he wanted to surprise Kushi with this news but when Kushi said think it as just a date Ishaan felt bad for Ishaan he can’t just feel it as a date for him it meant more than just a date,

Ishaan canceled his plans to shift to New York after Kushi’s words he never told anyone.

If Kushi would have agreed to a long-distance relationship Ishaan would have surprised her with the news that there is no need for a long-distance relationship because He is going to shift to New York next Two months but that didn't happen.

-THE END-
