" Hey there Beautiful! You ready? " Rudy knocked at my door.

" Yeah, just a minute. " I flipped my curled hair and glanced at my reflection for one last time.

Today is a big day. For 2 reasons.

One, the day started with the Grand Opening of Resort.

Two, Kartik is getting the Young Entrepreneur of the year Award tonight.

" Woah! You look gorgeous, Princess. I won't mind If you ditch my brother and be my date for tonight. " Rudy winked at me.

I had a ' you- are- impossible' look on my face. " Do you have any plan of getting yourself a girl or you are going to spend your days flirting with me. "

" I am fine with both but Guess I like the second idea more." I chuckled.

" I would love to see you have a girlfriend. " We walked down the stairs.

" All in good time, beautiful. " He held the car door open for me.

The red carpet led into a huge lavishly decorated Party hall, all set to host the award show.
The hall was flourished with audience from various companies and business sectors. There were many entrepreneurs, elite businessman and businesswoman, press and reporters.

TITANIUM awards is considered one among the prestigious business award. They say that getting one such award is a dream for every entrepreneur.
Knowing that Kartik has won one makes me the happiest person on the land. It's a big achievement for his 5 years project.

Kartik was having a conversation with some couple. When he saw me, he excused himself and walked up to us.

Damn, Is it only me or is he too hot to handle tonight!

" Hi sweetheart. " He slid his arm around my waist and bent slightly to peck my cheeks.

I giggled, his stubble creating a tickling sensation on my skin.

" Bro, it's your first award after marriage. " Arjun who was also getting an award tonight appeared along with Aditi.

She hugged me excited and the reason I know, she had officially met her super chill in laws.

Early this morning at the Inauguration event of Resort, Arjun introduced me to his parents who had flew down to the country after about a year.

His parents accepted Aditi with so much warmth that it didn't look like they met for the first time, only this morning. Ofcourse they have talked over phone but she seemed to connect with them instantly. They indeed liked her a lot for their playboy son had finally choose to settle.

" So both of you, I guess No regular stuffs this time. " Rudy blurted to earn a sharp glare from them.

" What regular stuffs? " I questioned curiously.

" Oh, that's nothing. " Arjun tried to divert the question.

" I want to know. What is it? " Aditi silenced her fiance.

" The show sponsors conduct a post award ceremony every year. It's quite popular. " Rudy chuckled.

" That's an usual thing. " Aditi commented.

" A strip club corner isn't one. "

" What !! " We yelled in unison.

" Now that you guys are here, why will we go! Right Kartik. " Arjun was quick to respond.
