"Come out, I'm waiting!" She read the message and glanced at herself in the mirror, seeking approval from Madhuri.
"Breathtaking, baby! Now go quickly!" Madhuri exclaimed enthusiastically.

"I hope you guys kiss!" she added, her tone laced with mischief. Parthvi's steps faltered, fear evident on her face.

"Don't worry, calm down!" Madhuri reassured her, gently rubbing her back as tears glistened in Parthvi's eyes.

"Honest efforts, but keeping something hidden?" Parthvi murmured under her breath. "It's a new relationship; give it time. Let him win your trust. Don't worry, go now nevertheless it isn't that big of a deal!" Madhuri encouraged.

With a faint smile, Parthvi headed toward the car. The initial excitement she felt dissipated as she sat down in silence.

"No greetings? So rude of you!" Randheer raised an eyebrow at her. "Uhmm...sorry...hi!" she muttered, struggling to act normal. He observed her suspiciously but let the topic slide.

"Where are we going?" he asked casually driving out the campus. "Oh, I forgot to ask Madhuri about the venue. Just a minute!" she replied, hurriedly calling Madhuri for details.

"Miss Parthvi, right?" The manager greeted her warmly. She nodded with a soft smile as he led them to their special poolside setting.
The sight took both Randheer and Parthvi by surprise.

The poolside was adorned with a romantic ambiance—roses and candles scattered elegantly, with soft music playing in the background.

Parthvi gulped, looking down in embarrassment before silently cursing Madhuri. "I should have done it myself!" she groaned internally.

"Enjoy your time, sir and ma'am," the manager said politely before leaving them.
"This is what you wanted?" Randheer asked, raising a brow in amusement.

"Na...na...no! Madhuri—I should have understood what she's capable of. I didn't! I'm sorry..." she stammered flustered.

He silenced her rambling by gently placing a finger on her lips. She froze, her gaze flickering between his eyes and his finger.

"You talk so much. Relax, not that I'm going to do anything to you!" he teased, pulling his hand back suppressing a chuckle. She exhaled sharply as he withdrew his finger.

"Come." he said, pulling out a chair for her. Once she sat down, he took a seat opposite her. "I didn't think this would get so awkward," she mumbled, her discomfort evident.

"Now, tell me. Why did you want to meet? You know how busy I am," his tone turned sharp, his rude demeanor slipping back.

"We'll be married in a month or two, Randheer. Seeing you today at the university made me realize we don't know anything about each other.
