Author's POV

Seven months had passed, and everything had changed for Anaya and Shubman. What started as a fragile attempt to rebuild their relationship had blossomed into something beautiful and undeniable. They hadn't made any grand announcements, no official public statements about their love. But it didn't matter-anyone with eyes could see the way they looked at each other, the way they held hands during quiet moments, or shared secret smiles during busy days. The paparazzi had caught them together more times than they could count-on dates, attending events, and even sneaking out of airports. The rumors were everywhere, and although they never directly confirmed it, the world seemed to know.

And then there was Ruhi. Shubman, in his own quiet way, had made the most important announcement of his life during a press conference. He had finally introduced Ruhi to the world, sharing the story of how she had become his daughter and the center of his universe. It was a touching moment, one that had won over the hearts of fans and made their love story even more compelling.

Now, seven months later, Anaya was in Paris, preparing for one of the most important events of her career-Paris Fashion Week. She had spent the last few weeks in a whirlwind of design meetings, fittings, and rehearsals, ensuring that everything was perfect. But as much as she loved her work, her thoughts often drifted back to Shubman.

She was sitting in front of the mirror, applying the finishing touches to her makeup, when her phone buzzed. A notification popped up, alerting her that Shubman was live on *Koffee with Karan*. A smile tugged at her lips as she set down her brush, her heart fluttering at the thought of him.

"*Aaj toh Shubman ko dekhna zaroori hai,*" she murmured to herself, already imagining how the playful host would tease Shubman about their relationship.

Anaya quickly turned on the show, propping up her phone so she could watch while she continued to get ready. On screen, the ever-charismatic Karan Johar sat opposite Shubman, who was looking dapper as always.

A grin spread across her face as she set her makeup brush down, already imagining how Karan would tease Shubman about their relationship. She quickly propped up her phone and opened the live stream, her heart fluttering as she saw Shubman sitting opposite Karan, looking sharp in a perfectly tailored suit.

Karan welcomed him with his usual charm. "Shubman Gill! Finally, the man who is on every headline, on and off the field. Welcome to *Koffee with Karan*!"

Shubman smiled, relaxed but clearly knowing what was coming. "Thanks, Karan. Happy to be here."

Karan leaned forward, an impish grin spreading across his face. "So, Shubman, you've been doing very well on the field. But what I want to know is... are you doing just as well *off* the field?" His tone was teasing, and Anaya couldn't help but smirk, knowing exactly where this was going.

Shubman shifted in his seat, his ears turning slightly red as he let out a small chuckle. "Umm... I guess I'm doing okay off the field too," he said, clearly trying to dodge the question.

Karan leaned forward, the gleam in his eyes giving away that he was about to dive straight into the gossip. "okay as you say Shubman, first things first-you look absolutely amazing today. I have to ask, who's behind this incredible outfit? Are we seeing the hand of a certain designer here?"

Shubman chuckled, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Well, I won't take credit for this one. I'd say it's the work of someone very special."

Karan raised his eyebrows dramatically, already sensing a good story. "Oh? Someone very special? Care to elaborate on who this talented designer might be?"
