Advay's Pov :
The drive back from the engagement was supposed to be a moment of relief, a time to relax after an exhausting day filled with pleasantries, and the never-ending stream of congratulations from relatives who only seemed to care about the social event of the year. But as I maneuvered the car through the busy streets of Delhi, my mind kept drifting back to how I'd ended up in this situation in the first place.
How had I allowed myself to be cornered into agreeing to something as absurd as an engagement to Roohi Agrawal?
My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I recalled the conversation that had sealed my fate.
I had a meeting scheduled at one of the city's most exclusive hotels. It wasn't my usual choice for a business discussion, but the client insisted on the venue. As I stepped out of the elevator. I didn't even notice the woman walking towards me, her heels clicking against the marble.
Just as I rounded the corner, I collided with someone. Hard.
Before I could react, I found myself grabbing onto the first thing I could to steady us both. My hands gripped something soft and warm-her waist. I looked down and realized I had practically pulled her flush against me, her body pressed up against mine.
"What the-" I started, looking up to see who I had crashed into.
Her hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, and her eyes widened in surprise. Roohi Agrawal. Of all the people to run into, it had to be her.
"Miss Agrawal?" I blurted out, my voice betraying my shock. Her hands were against my chest, and I could feel the tension radiating between us.
"Advay?" she whispered, her tone just as surprised, if not more so.
We were close-too close. Her hand was still splayed against my chest, and I could feel her rapid heartbeat under my palm. For a brief, maddening second, neither of us moved.
"You should really watch where you're going," I muttered, trying to mask the effect she had on me with irritation. I could still feel the warmth of her body against mine, and it was throwing me off balance.
"I could say the same to you," she retorted, a slight edge to her voice. But there was something in her eyes-confusion, maybe?-that softened the impact.
Without another word, we both took a step back, disentangling ourselves from the awkward position. She straightened her dress, avoiding my gaze.
"Let's just forget this ever happened," I said flatly, eager to put this behind me.
"It is not like I would love to remember it "She said, quickly turned walking away.
The meeting was still on my mind, but it was clouded now, the memory of our accidental encounter replaying in my head. I didn't notice the faint click of a camera or the knowing glances from a few onlookers nearby.
