They swayed to the slow music. Her hands rested on his shoulders and he grabbed her waist. She smiled up at him with tears in her eyes. She couldn't comprehend what was happening to her. He touched her cheek and she closed her eyes, completely drowned in the moment. He slowly rubbed her tears away. She looked into his eyes that were throwing all the sincerity. He kissed her forehead and she forgot every other thing.

"Cut. Superb guys." The director shouted and she quickly stepped backwards.

Aditi was busy laughing on her phone unknown to someone's intense gaze that was fixed upon her. Zain leaned on the couch to get a better view of her beautiful face. He was staring at her like there was no tomorrow and his life was depending on that only. She disconnected the call. Sighing, she smiled and turned sideways only to walk up to her room. Zain's eyes still refused to not follow her.

"Oyee bro. What's up?" The loud voice of Jahaan didn't affect him either. His eyes traveled into the same direction and he found Aditi walking forward. He again pushed him with his elbow only to get an irritated frown from him in return,"Let her disappear from my sight firs" he couldn't complete his sentence as the realization finally dawned on him. What was he doing? He made it too obvious. Embarrassed from the situation, he tried to make it up,"Uhmmm. Woh..Actually. Jahaan kya hai na ke tu jab mujhe zyada irritate karta hai na tou kabhi kabhi jhooti situatons banani parti hain. Tou bas wohi.."

Ahann! Stop it my dear friend. Jaanta hun mein tujhe achy sy." Jahaan smiled, patting his shoulder.

"Acha! Ager itny hi achy sy jaanta hai tou bata kya chal raha hai mere dimagh mein? Hmm?" Zain, sort of challenged him.

"Its simple. You are badly falling for Ms Rathore!" Zain's mouth flung open. Jahaan laughed out aloud and walked away before patting his shoulder again. Zain tried to get out of this.

He knew he loved her but something was there that always stopped him from accepting. But now, he wanted to live this feeling. He was not in his right state, he forgot every thing. What remained behind was her. He closed his eyes and her pretty face flashed. He quickly opened his eyes only to comprehend,"Yes. That's true. I've fallen for her." He jumped up in excitement, forgetting that she was already taken.

He began nearing her room. The time his hand touched the door before knocking, he heard,"I may not be able to join you today Shreedhan."

His breathe hitched and he licked his lips. "I am sorry baby. Okay. Bye. Love you." He heard her say in between gaps.

He felt his lashes heavy. The realization struck hard. He couldn't have her. She didn't belong to him. A lone tear rolled down his cheek and he started stepping backwards. He almost ran and locked himself in his room. He fell in love for the first time and his love was already taken.

But then he realized, he was being selfish. He couldn't think for himself only. Her happiness mattered but he would happily keep loving her. He was called for the shot and he went.

"Why not play something?" Gautam suggested, knowing that all of them were getting bored.

"You're not a kid anymore." Gulfam rolled her eyes.

"Bachchy hi khelty hein sirf?" He was quick to reply, poking his tongue out.

"I guess." It was Jahaan this time, who laughed out.

"C'mon guys. Stop it. Gautam is right. Let's play Truth And Dare may be." Aditi added, owing to her boredom. All credits to her low battery.

"Yeah for sure. But it should be dare to dare. That's fun." Jahaan spoke, putting his phone aside.

"Ohk then."

"Let's begin."

The gang started the game. They turned the bottle and it stopped at Jahaan. To tease him to the core, Gulfam gave him the dare. Jahaan was asked to clean everyone's shoes, the task he hated the most. But he somehow did that. Poonam again twisted the bottle and this time it was Aditi's turn. Gautam and Jahaan smiled knowingly.

"Okay madam. So your turn. You'll be blindfolded. We'll hold your phone in front of you. With eyes closed, you'll have to scroll your contacts. Then, you'll have to put your finger on any one. You'll call the person you would select, and then, Complete kar Jahaan.!" Gautam explained but stopped midway.

"And then you'll have to say those three magical words." Jahaan completed, quite dramatically.

"Hawwww. Nopes. This isn't happening." Aditi's mouth flung open. She couldn't be doing that.

"Come on Adu." Poonam pouted.

"Ohkay done. I'm doing that. But we'll tell the particular person that it was a dare given by you monkeys." She agreed, hesitantly.

They blindfolded her. She scrolled the contacts and selected one.
Everyone silently laughed at the name. Aditi removed her blindfold and gasped at the person she had selected. Zain! God! Why on Earth this man had to stick to her?!

Somehow, she dialled his number. After four, five rings, he finally picked up the phone.

"I love you." She spoke quickly right at the time he picked up the call. He choked and hardly managed to speak anything. He fumbled with his words, "Adi? Wh..Whhat.? Are yy..you saying? I..I mean.."He stopped as he heard laughters from the other side. A tear made its way down his cheek as he heard,"I'm so sorry Zain. Actually it was a random dare given to me by these idiots."

Zain tryied to control his urge to cry out aloud, "Its okay. I understand. Bye."

"Bye." She smiled, realizing that he understood her.

All this was watched by Shreedhan who came to the sets to take Aditi back home. He turned around and walked away not before sparing a glance at Aditi who was busy chit chatting and laughing.
