ANJALI'S POV:

We all joined downstairs when Hussain took the microphone again. 

"Mere bhai Shehry ke liye aab ek family dance ho jaye" he screamed and the music turned loud. Abhi toh party shru hui hai!!!

Aunty and Uncle came on the dance floor pulling Mom and Dad with them. And then some of Shehry;s friends started dancing too. I clapped along the music. 

Out of the crowd, Hussain walked up to us and grabbed my hand and held onto Anu's too. "Chalo" he screamed and we walked with him into the crowd. 

Shehry came from behind me and held my hand. I tried not to make it obvious. We danced as Shehry kept pushing himself on me. Then I turned around to face him. 

He smiled and held my other hand. 

"I lo-" he was about to say when Taani came pulling him away from me. "Chalo Shehry chalo" she said and then he was gone in the crowd. 

Before I could lose my mood, Hussain started talking to me. The rest of the party went on. I tried to talk to Shehry a million times but he was either with family, or taani. And before we knew it, we were home. 

I locked the door and changed my clothes falling on the bed. My legs hurt and my body was so tired. 

Just as my eyes were about to close, my phone rang. Ugh..I picked up and heard Shehry's voice. 

"Aise bina bataye chali gayi" he yelled. 

"Acha...tum bhi toh kahi naazar nahin aarahe the" I scolded back. 

"Haan woh toh.." he stalled cause he didnt have any excuse"

"haan bolo na..kya hua tha??" I said mocking him. 

"Acha ok..you win..kush" he said. 

"Aacha mujhe sona hai...im tired..bye" I said waiting for him to hang up. 

"Bye?...atleast ek goos night sweet dreams toh de deti" he asked romantically. 

"Good night sweet dreams shehry" I repeated. "Ok? Aab bye" I said. 

"Hang up toh karo" I said waiting for him. 

"No you hang up" he said. I was not gonna play this game with him. 

"OK you choice" I said and hung up. 

Why did I feel like Shehry was gonna leave..forever..or something was gonna happen between us...

---------------------------------------------------NEXT MORNING------------------------------------------------

Rrrrr....Rrrrrrr. My phone continuously rang. Ugh...I opened my eyes a bit throwing my hand around my bed to find the phone. I picked it up and an unfamiliar number showed. 

"Hello?" I asked. 

"Is this Anjali?" a familiar voice asked. 

"yes and you are?' I asked. 

"Taani..mein taani bol rahin hun" the person replied. 

"Taani??" I asked confused. "Mera number kaha se mila?" 

"Woh sab mein baad me bata thi hun, pehli meri baat suno?' she said. 

"OK" I agreed. 

"Aaj chaar baje mujhe coffee shop me milne..meri treat" she said. 

"Par kyun??" I asked confused. 

"Woh mein coffee shop pe bataungi..bas tum aajana" she said and hung up. I looked at the time and it was 11:30. UFF! I got up and went to shower.
