DHRUV

" let's go chill she won't come" Neil said holding a glass of beer , we were at a Mask ball and almost all of our school mates came , mostly the rich ones. I saw Khwab and Naira they were chatting with each other but Tara was nowhere to be seen.

" Go ask Khwab why didn't Tara come" I blurted. " What??'" Neil looked at me in confusion ." You heard it". 

"Bro..I have already embarrassed myself enough" He put the beer glass on the bar counter. " Fine then don't ". I said shrugging my shoulders , I knew he would eventually end up going because this Asshole won't leave a chance to be near Khwab.

" I will go" He cleared his throat and stormed, I mean walked towards Khwab . I swear I have never seen this fucker being nervous but today he is sweating.

"Hey" Khwab looked at Neil and paused for a moment before saying "Hii".

"I need to refill my coupe, I will be back" Naira said smirking and left as quickly as she could. Everyone except Khwab knew that if Neil Oberoi was going to marry someone then it would be Khwab. 

" Ummm..Khwab " Neil said rubbing his thumb on his eyebrows. " Where's Tara?" Neil blurted." I mean she isn't... around and you know.-" Khwab didn't let him complete " Tell Dhruv that she won't come." 

"Why? " Neil asked in shock.

"Her parents don't want her to socialize and on that she hasn't debuted yet in the Debutant ball." Khwab said looking at the dance floor. Neil didn't want to end the conversation there but the introvert inside him refused to let a word outside his mouth.

"Okay" Neil started walking away.

" Dusro ko mujhse dur rakhne se accha hai , Khud mere kareeb aa jao"  Neil's legs halted hearing this. He looked back at Khwab who was glaring at him.

[Rather than keeping others away from me , you come near me]

" Cheers Neil" She raised her coupe and walked away.

Neil came walked towards me with his head down something was troubling him in his mind. He stood beside me and narrated the entire thing that Khwab told him. I knew there was more to it and they did talk about something else, but Neil won't talk about it. Even I don't. Fair enough.

I grabbed my car keys and drove to THE RAJPUT PALACE , it was hard getting in though but I have been doing this since a while now. I stood outside her room , it was on the ground floor so it got easy for me as i didn't have to unnecessarily climb up . She was sleeping on her stomach, her eyes were buried into her phone. She was wearing white pajama shorts  * smirks*. 

" cute girl" I whispered under my breath and took out my phone to call her.

DHRUV - Hello TARA. She picked up my phone in a heartbeat and then she says she can't love me.

TARA - Hii Mr Rajvansh .she said resting her face on her hand.

DHRUV- Is saying my surname loudly legal at your palace?
