A hand covers her own and she's pulled back into a hard chest.
"Who do you love?"
She lets out a squeak as she feels his hand trail up slowly until it rests against her waist.
"If you don't give me an answer, I'll begin to think that it's me."
He...

Priyanka's mom sat in the house excitedly listing out the things they need to buy for the engagement party. When Ariya's family came over last time, both families took a liking to each other. Of course, Priyanka's mom was also very fond of Ariya. Their moms also hit off as if they were old friends so it was safe to say that everything was going very smoothly.
"What do you think of Ariya?" Her mother dropped the question on Priyanka.
"I think she's a nice girl."
"That's it?" Her mom frowns. "Nothing more?"
"I didn't exactly get to interact with her much." Priyanka point out.
"She's going to be your future bhabhi so you might as well get to know her well."
Priyanka nods. Her mom does have a point but last time they met the families were all seated together, there was no way that Priyanka was able to even have some lone time with Ariya. But if this was the girl who captured Karan's heart out of every other girl. She knew that she must be special.
As for her love life, there was nothing really going on at all. At least not for now. Her cheeks flushed at the thought of a dark haired boy. His voice in the quietness of her room, his hands on her arm. She gets goosebumps as she can still picture the way Ankit looked at her in the room. His dark eyes holding so much concern for her, something she didn't see in any other guy.
He was definitely different. He was doing things to her heart.
"Priyanka."
She didn't realize her mom continued speaking to her. She got lost in the thoughts of Ankit. She felt her cheeks heat up even more in embarrassment. She nods in response to her mom.
"If you like someone, let me know."
The smile on her mom's face showed that she might know what was on her daughters mind more than her own daughter knew. It made Priyanka feel very exposed in front of her mom. If her mom knew, then maybe Ankit knew already? Was she being too obvious?
"I will." Priyanka offers a reassuring smile.
Speaking of the devil, Ankit walked right into the hall.
"We're going out to get some dessert." Ankit draws out. His eyes on Priyanka and then on her mom within a second. "Me and Karan."
"Priyanka, why don't you go along? You love sweets." Her mom nudges her forward and Priyanka shakes her head.
Ankit watches her with a slight smile. "I'll be waiting in the car."
It wasn't even we, it was I. Priyanka's heart started thudding faster at the mere thought of going with Ankit.
With Karan too, she reminded herself. She doesn't know what got into her.
