Parties like this were always boring for Tarini and Zaki who loved and lived for the fun in life. A success celebrating party like this was just another way to meet, greet and mingle with prospective clients and customers. Business, to be more precise which just wasn't Tarini and Zaki's cup of tea. But something was different tonight as the two found the perfect source of entertainment in the otherwise boring party. The source who was publicly known as Sahir Azeem Chaudhary.
"Haaye! Aaj toh yeh intezaar jaan hi le lega." Zaki joked placing his hand on his chest over his heart as he and Tarini continued to watch Sahir who was sitting at the bar drinking his 8th glass of water in the past 2 hours.
For the very first time, Sahir had arrived at the party half an hour before it even started and since then he's been sitting at the bar and drinking glasses of water continuously as he stared at the entrance waiting for a special someone to arrive.
Tarini giggled, "Well if bhai continues to drink like that, then I am worried that something else will arrive before Maya does."
Zaki looked at Tarini with wide eyes before both of them burst out laughing. They hi-fived each other as they continued to laugh at the expense of their elder brother who was now on his 9th glass as he continued to stare at the entrance.

Maya hadn't thought that she would ever feel this irritating emotion called nervousness once again but a particular man was evoking and provoking those dormant feelings inside her and the surprising part of this mess was that she didn't mind it. She was actually enjoying every passing second of it. Maybe she was indeed a crazy person now.
Maya took a few deep breaths before stepping out of her car and walking inside the party hall. She could feel the eagerness to see Sahir's reaction about her appearance bubble inside her and replace the nervousness.
****************
Sahir felt her presence even before he could actually see her. There was some kind of change in the air surrounding him. Whatever it was, science, some kind of cosmic connection or maybe he was over imagining things but he somehow knew that Maya was around. And within a few seconds, he was proved to be right.
A gasp escaped his lips as Sahir's eyes fell on the beauty in white. He didn't know why Maya wore only white, black and greys but on seeing her looking so gorgeous dressed in the white saree of his choice he could say that white was just her color, something made just for her.
Standing a few feet away from his with a stoic expression of her face, she wasn't doing something to gather attention but all Sahir could focus on was her, it was like she was his sun and he was naturally gravitating towards her.
He had thought that Maya would look gorgeous in the saree that he had specifically chosen for her along with all the other accessories but looking at her now the only thought that could form inside his mind was that it wasn't the dress that made Maya look gorgeous but it was Maya who made the dress look gorgeous. She was the epitome of beauty.
"Aafreen, aafreen." he muttered to himself as he made his way towards Maya with a smile on his face and that twinkle in his eyes that indicated just how much pleased he was. But unfortunately, he was a little too late in approaching Maya.

Life with Zoya was adventurous. The girl was not only a bit crazy but sometimes unpredictable as well and Aditya was used to it. This is the only reason that he wasn't surprised when Zoya clutched his hand and dragged him across the hall. She didn't care about anything as she rushed forward and dragged him along towards the entrance.
