"What do we do now?" Abhay asked me after we left Anya's room.

"Just avoid the media I guess" I shrugged.

"Do you think this will work?" he asked.

"For the time being, it'll" I replied.

I took out my phone from my pocket since it has been vibrating for a long time now.

Woah. I already have some 2000 mails and messages from journalists. I'm not planning to reply any of them so I put it back in my pocket.

"Why don't you just announce it Shub?" Abhay asked me.

"How'll that help? They won't stop writing stupid and annoying articles" I said.

"At least the talks would die down sooner than later" he sighed.

"We'll see" I replied.

(Engagement night.)

"Chill bro, I'll be there on time" I laughed saying to Abhay on call for the hundredth time​.

Today is his engagement and he's just too nervous. He wants me to be with him right now so that we won't feel anxious.

The rumours are still in the air. The only thing that has changed is the number of messages I receive from journalists. They have reduced significantly.

I was on my way to pick Anya. I called her an hour ago and asked her to get ready. I just hope she's finished dressing up.

I bought a bouquet of roses for her from a shop in her locality because she loves roses. I know she'll love it.

I parked my car outside the gate and rang the doorbell.

"Hello beta" Anya's mom smiled opening the door.

"Namaste aunty" I wished touching her feet.

We went inside and her dad was sitting on the sofa in their living room. I went up to him and touched his feet.

"Anya! Shubman is here" aunty called her from downstairs.

"Coming maa!" she said in response from upstairs.

The moment she stepped down the stairs, I literally had my jaw dropped. She looked absolutely stunning and I was freaking losing my breath. She's looking much better than I imagined.

"Do I look fine?" she asked me with a nervous smile.

"Not better than me" I smirked teasing her.

"Why're you so self obsessed?" she asked laughing.

"Because I'm looking breathtakingly amazing" I smirked.

"Whatever" she said flipping her hair.

"You look amazing" I whispered leaning on her ear and I could feel her shivering when my breath hit her neck.
