And then I remembered how close we were standing, especially when I placed my palm on Abhimanyu's mouth; suddenly, I felt a warmth and the way he looked into my eyes, it seemed as if he was peering into my soul, I thought.

Gradually, I removed my palm from his mouth, and for a moment, we both got lost in each other's gaze. Not for a second did I feel uncomfortable with the way he placed his hand on my waist or how close he was to me; I simply wished time would stand still.

Abhimanyu always thought there was something captivating in her eyes, and the mole near her lips was simply irresistible. It was becoming increasingly difficult to contain his feelings; she looked beautiful every day, and today, she was absolutely stunning. The effect she had on him whenever he got close was profound. Now, all he wished for was for time to stand still so he could be with her for the rest of his life.

"I think... we should go; everyone is waiting," Ananya said, stammering, and averted her gaze from his because it was becoming difficult for her.

"Don't worry, my friends will handle it," Abhimanyu replied, still fixing his gaze on her.

"What did you tell your friends?" Ananya asked, looking back at him who was already gazing at her with love and care in his eyes.

"We'll talk about that later, but do you know one thing?" Abhimanyu asked, encircling her in his arms.

"Wh...at?" Ananya stammered, finding it difficult now because they were an inch apart from their lips, and if anyone moved, they would end up kissing.

"Today, you look gorgeous," Abhimanyu said, and as she listened, a small smile and blush appeared on her face.

"You also look quite handsome today," Annaya replied, gazing into his eyes where a smile lingered.

"Can I kiss you?" Abhimanyu asked, unable to control himself. For a moment, Annaya was shocked, but then she saw in his eyes love and only love, so she nodded with a smile.

She closed her eyes, feeling his breath near her lips, and just as their lips were about to meet, the phone rang.

They both opened their eyes and moved away from each other. "People have no patience," Abhimanyu muttered to himself, but Annaya heard, smiled, then pressed the stop button, and the elevator doors opened. She left as the situation became awkward.

Abhimanyu also exited the elevator and saw Shouraya calling, so he answered. Before he could speak, Abhimanyu shouted, "What the fuck? and what happened Why did you have to call right now only?" He then composed himself, realizing he was not alone; people were staring at him with wide eyes.

And as Shouraya listened, he cut the call. "Kya hua, Varun?" asked Sahil. "Ha, kya hua? Sher Anna wala hai aur uska shikari hum bana wala hai," Shouraya replied with a scared expression. For a moment, Varun and Sahil were confused, but then they understood what he meant. "Humne toh kuch nahi kiya," Varun said innocently. "Ha, tu na hi kiya call," Sahil added. "Kaisa kamina dost ho tum log!" Shouraya said looking at them.

Annaya arrived, followed by Abhimanyu, and they took their seats. "Hey, Mihir," Annaya greeted as she saw him. And mihir and mahir both came when both were busy in each other and you all know where 😂.

"Hi, Di," Mihir replied with a smile. "Okay, okay, everyone's finally here. Let's eat; I'm starving," Kriti announced, and everyone chuckled. "Alright," Priyanka responded. "Tum log ghar Chalo waha bataunga tum logo ko," Abhimanyu whispered to Shouraya, Sahil, and Varun, who nervously swallowed, intimidated by his tone.

Minutes later, the food arrived, and everyone began to eat, talk, and laugh together. However, Abhimanyu's gaze kept shifting to Annaya, who was avoiding eye contact. Yet, whenever their eyes met, Annaya's face would blush red.
