The few eyes on the couch who were part of the conversation, turned towards Abhimanyu.
Something within the atmosphere changed. Everyone went speculating and serious about what his words meant.

Abhimanyu shrugged his shoulders changing his grin to normal.

"I was just joking man" He chuckled making everyone sigh, including karan who stood up giving him a welcome hug.

Tripura on the other hand was actually not convinced by what he said. She looked at the two men having a small talk while still holding onto each other.

"Have a seat" karan pointed at the single couch opposite to tripura.

"Thank you" He smiled at karan and then at tripura who had her eyes fixed on abhi's expression.

She felt cautious when abhi held her gaze, a bit oddly.

"So..." abhi started the convo "dream project" he held the glass high "cheers man" karan reciprocated it.

"you do Happen to steal away what I want" He had his eyes fixed on tripura while he said those lines.

The awkward silence came back.
Karan, who was oblivious to what his friend meant laughed it off, "It's a win win for all my friend, you know I had it in the first place" karan gave a confident smile which did made abhi uneasy.

Throwing his arm around tripura he held her closer while giving her a calm smile.
"You want anything darling?" he turned all the attention of the world towards her.
She felt her heart skipping several beats when his eyes turned warmer and they looked at nothing but her.

She felt she can't speak so she nodded in negation.

"I am fine" she sighed when he smiled back turning towards sakshi who called him.
The group of 8 people sitting around the couch went busy chatting with one another. Left was tripura, who was not at all into the glamour talk that the other girl spoke about also, karan and sakshi were discussing about the film, about the prep and the others, she was not interested to even bother what they talked about.

"Tell me" she heard a voice addressing her somehow "what you like" She turned her eyes towards the source and was surprised to see Abhimanyu at the side of her couch, she wondered when he switched positions.

She threw a quick glance at Karan who was engrossed telling sakshi something, so she decided to keep it a bit formal with Abhi, not looking so awkward and alien.

"What are you like" He changed the question when he felt her turning her attention towards him.

"I am like anyone else" she shrugged the question with a smile.

"Nope, that's not the truth" His eyes turned into a slit "It takes a lot, to trap a person like karan into your arms" His voice went low and slow as he leaned forward, marking her expression.
