All the guests were busy either talking or having their food. Shubman and Ananya were talking to some guests.

Ishan who was waiting patiently for his cold drink saw Prachi in a corner talking with Nitya. He made his way towards them.

As he came near them, he slid his arm around Nitya's waist and stood beside her. "Hello!" He spoke.

"Hello Mr. Kishan." Prachi greeted him with a polite smile.

He nodded and returned his smile. "So you are Shubman's best friend?" He said.

Nitya frowned at his tone. Because though it maybe sounded super polite, she knew that there was a hidden tone.... possessiveness?

Prachi let out a chuckle and nodded. "More like was his best friend."

"Well he never mentioned anyone as his best friend beside me, so I just confirmed."

Nitya elbowed him in his ribs lightly. "He means that he never knew." She covered up.

"No that's fine. Actually, our contact broke and then I met him today after many years." Prachi explained.

Ishan smiled which looked so much fake and nodded.

Prachi smiled back and suddenly felt a hand on her back. She turned and saw Aditya.

"Ah, Mr. Kashyap." Ishan acknowledged him.

"Mr. Kishan." Aditya shook his hand with Ishan.

"It's nice to see your fiance finally." Ishan spoke making others chuckle.

"Well, she love to say away from limelight." Aditya said and pulled Prachi a little near him.

"So what do you do Prachi?" Nitya asked.

"Well, I am a businesswoman." Prachi said. "Wow, really! That's fantastic." Nitya smiled at her.

"So what's your business actually?" Ishan asked.

"She owns a magazine company. LIMELIGHT." Aditya spoke casually.

Nitya and Ishan looked at them with wide eyes. "You own LIMELIGHT?" Nitya asked.

"Yes." Prachi replied.

"Like the No. 1 magazine in India, LIMELIGHT?" Ishan asked again.

"Yes."

"Woah!" Nitya chuckled. "You own No. 1 magazine in India and you hate to stay in limelight?"

"Um... Actually, I have came from a middle class family. Kind of hate attention." Prachi scrunched her nose.

Ishan blinked a few times. "That's impossible!"

Nitya rolled her eyes. "Nothing's impossible darling. She can hate limelight. You come with me. Excuse me." Nitya excused Ishan and herself politely and went away.

Aditya turned to his fiance and cleared his throat. "So..." He trailed. Prachi looked up at him. "What?"

"What ... what? You don't love me anymore!" He said dramatically. Prachi furrowed her eyebrows. "What happened to you suddenly?"

"When are you getting married to me? I am waiting!" He said. Prachi chuckled slightly. "Mai toh tayaar hoon. Pandit ji ne muhurat 6 mahine baad ka diya hai!" Prachi pouted.

Aditya chuckled at her pout and embraced her shoulder lovingly.

...

It was almost evening. All the guests left excluding ICT, their wives, Aditya and Prachi. Shubman and Ananya's family also left. Everyone were chatting when Ishan suddenly asked.
