As the commotion died down, Shubman, who was seated in the back, rose from his chair, He made his way through the crowd, his presence commanding attention.

Their eyes met, and Shubman extended a handshake.

"Good afternoon, Miss Tendulkar. Nice to meet you. Your talent is undeniable,"

"Thank you, Mr. Gill. That means a lot coming from you."

Shubman shrugged, his expression modest.

"Please, Ms. Tendulkar, I'm just an ordinary businessman."

Sara's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Mr. Gill, you're one of the most successful businessmen I've ever met. You are just 27 and your work in IT has revolutionized our technology for the better."

Shubman smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

"Thanks for the appreciation. Hope to see you again, Ms."

A week later ,
Shubman's house ,
Around 5 in the evening .

Sara stormed into Shubman's backyard, where he sat serenely sipping tea. 

“ SHUBMAN GILL " she said, her voice trembling with anger.

Shubman looked up, seemingly unfazed.

"Hey Sara, I expected you to come."

Sara's eyes blazed with fury.

"What do you think of yourself, sending a wedding proposal to my house without even asking me?"

Shubman remained silent, his expression unreadable.

Sara's anger boiled over, and she shouted,

"Say something, Mr. Gill !" Tears welled up in her eyes.

Shubman rose, looking slightly guilty, and took Sara's hands.

He guided her to sit before him, still holding her hands.

"I've done everything for the betterment of both of us," he said calmly.

Sara jerked her hands free.

"No, you've done this for yourself!"

Shubman's voice remained measured.

"Sara, I'm a businessman. Just give me 15 minutes to explain the benefits and drawbacks of this marriage for both of us."

Sara nodded, her anger slowly giving way to curiosity.
