VIP Dinner buffet

Abhira and Kaira were enjoying their dinner. From Naira giving titbits of their love story to Abhi and Kartik bonding over discussions on Economy the couples bonded so well. All through the while Abhi and Akshu could not miss the remarkable change in Naira's demeanor. She had bonded with them earlier and had always been a part of their group ever since the new movie's shootings began but she had always carried herself with quite a reserve, but now she was exuding an aura that captivated their attention. In the curve of her smile and the softness of her gaze the bond between Kaira that served as a shield against the harshness of the world was well evident to the eyes of Abira. The way Naira's face was illuminated with a luminous glow, spoke volumes of the passion and affection she held for Kartik

Shaam bhi koi jaise hai nadi
Lehar lehar jaise beh rahi hai
Koi ankahi, koi ansuni
Baat dheemi-dheemi keh rahi hai

But if something had struck their heart's happy chord then it would be when Kartik was caught by an important call from office, too engrossed in attending the demands of the whole outside where they were , yet his attention was being irrevocably drawn to Naira who had bent down to retrieve the fallen piece of cutlery. In a protective instinct , his hand reached out to the unforgiving edge of the table and his fingers curled around the sharp corner. That one gesture of him was a silent declaration of his unwavering devotion amidst the chaos of the world around them.

Kahin na kahin
Jaagi hui hai koi aarzoo
Kahin na kahin
Khoye hue se hai main aur tu

When Naira straightened up after picking upn the cutlery her eyes met Kartik's and in the moment time seemed to stand still. Her heart swelled with a profound sense of love and gratitude as she took in the sight of him cupping the sharp corner of the table just like a silent guardian shielding her from harm's way. The tenderness in his eyes spoke volumes that were a testament to the unwavering devotion he held for her safety and well-being.

Ye kaisa samay hai, kaisa samaa hai
Ke shaam hai pighal rahi
Yeh sab kuch haseen hai, sab kuch jawan hai
Hai zindagi machal rahi

For a fleeting moment, they were suspended in a shared space of intimacy, where words were unnecessary, and the language of their hearts reigned supreme. It was a moment filled with a potent mixture of love and protectiveness, an unspoken promise to always stand by each other's side through thick and thin.

Jagmagati, jilmilati
Palak palak pe khwaab hai
Sun ye hawayein gungunaye
Joh geet lajawab hai

But even as the intensity of their connection lingered, reality beckoned, pulling him back into the demands of the outside world. With a reluctant sigh, he released the corner of the table, tearing his gaze away from hers as he reluctantly returned to the phone call.

Ke boom-boom-boom par-para
Hai khamosh dono
Ke boom-boom-boom par-para
Hai madhosh dono

Being audience to such a sweet moment between Kaira, Abhira couldn't help but smile at their friend basking in love. They exchanged knowing glances, and smiled in happiness as their friend had found a partner who cherished and protected her with unwavering devotion
