The Poddar house was buzzing with excitement as preparations were underway for the reception party of two couples Armaan and Abhira, and Rohit and Ruhi.
The guest list included media reporters, newspaper editors, businessmen, important clients, and everyone else who was anyone in town.
As the evening approached, everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of the two couples.
Armaan entered into the room getting ready in and caught sight of Abhira, who was dressed in an elegant saree.
She looked absolutely stunning and Armaan was completely mesmerized by her beauty.
He couldn't take his eyes off her as she struggled to adjust her saree pleats. Without hesitation, he walked over to her.
Armaan - main kar deta hu lao.
He gently took the pleats from her hand. She looked up at him with a grateful smile as he skillfully adjusted her pleats.
He looked at her, she was little hesitant,
Armaan - tumhari peechle janam mein saree ek saath koi dushmani rahi hogi tabhi aisa hota hai.
He teased, trying to lighten the mood.
She chuckled,
Abhira - shayad mujhe pata tha ki iss janam mein mujhe meri saree pleats thik karne wala hi milega.
His heart skips a beat listening to her, did she just flirted with him.
He was doing the pleats when suddenly she got imbalanced and she fell on him.
Their faces were just inches apart from each other.
Unconsciously, he removed the hair strands from her face, she closed her eyes feeling his touch.
Armaan - tum na aise mujh par ghir ghir kar kisi din mujhe khatam kar dogi.
She kept her hand on his mouth...
Abhira - aisa kabhi mat kehna, apni mumma ko kho chuki hu tumhe nahi khona chahti.
His heart fluttered.
He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead.
Armaan - I am sorry.
Abhira - tum kabhi mujhe chod kar nahi jaoge na.
Armaan - bhala yeh bhi koi sawal hua ab zindagi bhar tumhare saath rehne ke alawa mere pass aur koi option bhi nahi hai.
They chuckled, he kissed her forehead making her blush.
Both were looking at each other
Their eyelock got broken by the phone ring,
Both got up.
Armaan - chale ab warna dadi sa daategi.
She nodded...!!!!
**********************************
Rohit stared at himself in the mirror, frustrated as he tried to perfect his tie knot.
He had never been good at tying ties, and it always seemed to take him forever to get it right.
Just as he was about to give up and settle for a sloppy knot, he felt a pair of soft hands on his tie, adjusting it gently.
He turned around and his eyes met Ruhi's,
She had a sweet smile on her face as she focused on the tie, her fingers skillfully working to make it look neat.
He couldn't't help but feel a rush of warmth in his chest at her proximity.
