SHUBMAN'S POV

"Chalein?" (Lets go?) She asks me
Does she really want to go continue dancing ? After a call, from apparently her boyfriend.
I can't take it anymore. I walk off
"Shubman?" I could hear her perplexed voice inquire after me but I can't stop. If I look back into those Hazel eyes, I'd lose myself.
So, I run outside.
Abhay follows me.
"Abhi nahi, yaar. Please" ( not now Bro, please) I try to get him back inside and leave me alone.
"Shub baat toh sun, Hua Kya?." (shub atleast listen to me! What happened?) He asks me but I don't reply.
"Aise Kyu chala aaya?" (Why did you come out like this?) He asks again.
"Arey yaar uska boyfriend hai" (She has a boyfriend) I let out.
"Shub-" he tries to calm me down,
"Abhay I need to go" I blurt out holding my head.
"Shub it's Ishan's engagement. Tere ko Pata haina wo Kitna excited hai, chal andar. For Ishan, please ?" (You know how important this is for Ishan. He is so excited for his engagement. please, for him let's go back) I say nothing so he adds "ring ceremony start hone waali hai" (The exchange of rings is about to take place)
"Fine" I agree and we both walk in,

I look towards the stage - Ishan and Sana are there but they haven't exchanged the rings yet.
Thank God ! I say to myself. Ishan would've killed me.
We walk towards our table.

"Shub Kya Hua?" (Shub, what happened to you?) Manjot starts to ask but Abhay waves him off and mumbles a low "Abhi nahi" (not now) to him.
I'm really very greatful to Abhay and other guys, for leaving my grumpy-self alone and not pestering me too much.
Meanwhile I try not to look at Pallak, who still is extremely confused.
One time she catches me looking at her and mouths a small
'Kya Hua?' (what happened?) But I ignore it. And I ignore her.
I don't look at her again, for the rest of the evening.
She has a boyfriend. I tell myself whenever I'm tempted to steal a glance.

PALLAK'S POV

I don't know what happened to him, he took off without telling me anything - like why? Aise koun karta hai! (Who does this!)
And that's what my cousins have been trying to ask me, since I walked back to our table. Perplexed, but I don't want to talk to anyone about it.
He isn't even looking at me !
It's so frustrating.
I just want this engagement to be over as soon as possible.
How can a guy be so so so damn rude.
I cannot even think about any thing else except him even as the to-be Groom and to-be Bride exchange rings.
Ishan and Sana are so freaking happy. I can't help but be happy. They literally are the definition of love.

SHUBMAN'S POV

"Yaar kab tak aisehi sad rahega tu" (Bro, for how long are you going to be sad like this?) Prithvi asks me, as we cheer and applaud for Ishan and Sana as they slip rings into each other's fingers , both beaming with joy, they're so damn happy and cute. They kinda define love.
"Haan yaar, chod Tu is Pallak ko, Ek ladki hai Meri nazar Mai us we milata hu tujhe" (Yeah bro, leave Pallak. I have a girl in my mind, I'll let you meet her) Manjot says as we all  take out seats again.
"Abbey hatt" (Oh please!) I throw a disposable glass at him
And they all laugh. I feel so better in my friends' company.
