The night of the Gala dawned upon the skies. They all were in Shivaay's cabin. Neeraj and Aradhya as well.

"Where's Khanna?" Neeraj asked noticing the absence of the man who followed Shivaay like a shadow. He had noticed this quite a few times, that he was not there as much as he used to.

"He must be doing security rounds." Priyanka spoke with furrowed eyebrows, when she too noticed his absence.
