( real life! ) 

Samyukta was a nervous wreck when the driver came to a stop in front of a posh mansion having some lanterns and fairy lights hanging on the walls giving it an ethereal glow. Nobody but Freddy knew how hesitant and uncomfortable the woman was when it came to social gatherings and parties. 

She had always been insecure about her looks and the impression she leaves while having a word with a person. God knows what thoughts crosses the person's mind while having an interaction with her - she's too loud, oh god look at the way she laughs, she can't even stop blabbering for a second.

The knock on the glass window of the car pulled samyukta out of the horrifying thoughts and made her jump away in fear. Freddy rolled his eyes before he unlocked the door and leaned a little closer, his head under the roof of the car,"do you want to stay here forever or something?"

"uh uh." Samyukta felt her throat going dry and having no explanation for her zoning out,she smiled nervously. 

"sam it's alright." Freddy smiled comfortably after noticing how freaked out she looked even though he couldn't properly endeavor her face as it was dark inside the car. He could only see those dark brown eyes shimmering from the light of the lanterns and fairy lights and it seemed to him as if he was in a whole another world which was so much beautiful than the real one.

 "I look presentable right?" Freddy didn't realize when samyukta had already stepped out of the car but as soon as it struck him, he masked his amusement with a smile. "don't worry sam, you look beautiful." 

Freddy couldn't help but admire how alluring her deep, brown eyes looked while the black cardigan she had put over her white t-shirt went really well with her silver, sequels embedded trousers.

 "I like your shirt." Samyukta grinned, a mischievous glint taking a cue upon her purity shimmering in her eyes. 

"Oh no. I'm not letting you have this one." Freddy chuckled, eyeing his buttoned up, plaid white shirt, well aware of the obsession the girl has with shirts. So much so she had always managed to have half of his shirts. 

"Hey Freddy." a familiar female voice made the two best friends turn around to find amita dressed up in an elegant, white sequin dress which flaunted her curves. "amita!" Freddy chuckled as amita approached him and pulled him in a quick hug. "nice to see you again." Amita said once she had pulled away. 

"pleasure is all mine. you look beautiful by the way!" 

"thank you." Amita smiled and when her eyes fell on Samyukta who had a faint smile on her face as she watched their interaction,"oh my god! you are samyukta right?"
