Dear readers,

Thank you for 2k reads. Your love, comments, and support made it possible. I hold this chapter closest to my heart, as a writer, and as a dreamer.

I am going to post this chapter in two parts and I hope you like them.

I attribute this chapter to all those who dream of love.

HER

Amber, or as she liked to call herself, Ammber, clung to Siddhanth like a lost lover. I on the other hand couldn't help but enjoy his agony. He firmly, yet respectfully held her by the shoulders and broke the very uncomfortable hug.

"Oh hi...what was your name? Suhaana right?" She eyed me as I smiled.

"Girl, are you lost on your way to the temple?" She said as her eyes darted from my head to toe. I couldn't help but sigh.

"Ammber..." I held Sidhanth's hand before he could say anything, which didn't go unnoticed by her.

"You see Ammber. I feel too confident this evening, to insult anyone. Especially you."

Siddhanth held a chuckle while she fumed.

"Are you sure babe that it isn't your wedding you're dressed up for, but my sister's?"

I could see Siddhanth holding the urge to act but I felt it would be a vague attempt for there was no point in entertaining her.

"Ammber. You see. When Siddhanth and I get married, you would get a cordial invite. So for now, I am pretty sure, we are here for Aisha."

Siddhanth looked at me with blushed cheeks as I held his hand more firmly.

"In your dreams sweety." retorted Ammber.

"Alright Ammber. I think our guests have had enough of you." came a voice from behind me. I turned around to see a young man, dressed sharply, who seemed to be a part of the family.

Dulquer Salmaan as Vikyath Reddy

"Hi. I am Vikyath. Aisha's brother." He forwarded his hand to me while Siddhanth watched peculiarly. I shook his hand as he smiled.

"Thank you for saving us. I'm Suhaana." I whispered as we turned away from Ammber.

"Hi, Siddhanth. Do I need to formally introduce myself to you as well?" Siddhanth smiled oddly, as I raised my eyebrows.

"Hi, Vikyath. Waddup." He spoke abruptly in an unusual baritone.

"I am good. When did you come back?" asked Vikyath to which I wondered from where he had returned.

"A few months back," Siddhanth replied straightforwardly.

"Anyway. It's nice to see you here. Let me take you guys inside or else Ammber will bore you to death."
