Writer's pov

Dev made Lakshmi meet his friends of friend circle. She already know them but never able to meet personally. Moreover she was happy and overwhelmed by how Dev was treating her. From taking care of her drink to checking whether she is comfortable around him when he gets involved into business talks. Lakshmi could see how her friends from other circle were watching her enviously and signing at her to come and talk with them.

" Excuse me .... Dev ... " She gently called him while Dev was talking about some deal with his friend.

" Let me go and meet my friends. They are waiting for me " she asked

" Of course dear, go.... You don't have to ask me  " Dev said with so much love.

" One minute.... " He quickly called her back and said something while correcting her hair.

" We will have dinner together. Wait for me..... " Lakshmi was grinning widely and when he touched her hair she was blushing like a teenager.

" Sure.... " She agreed and ran to meet her friends.

" Laks...... My darling..... " Jasmine,  Lakshmi's friend from school time. She jumped on Lechu so excitedly hugging her.

" Jasmine...... I missed you honey " Lakshmi kissed on her cheeks and greeted her.

" Hey Zara where were you girl ? Long time no see " Lechu went to her other friend who was waiting to greet her.

" Laks this was really a surprise girl. How ? How you made him agree for this marriage ? Oh my god DD and you.... Am I dreaming ? " Jasmine jumped from floor so excited holding on Lechu's hands.

" Alliance came through my family.  Even I can't believe. Look at him girls.... He is so handsome. " Lechu screamed with her friends without making much sound.

"Once you are married you will be go to that circle. Then we are going to miss you. Hey ..... if possible set me up with someone there. So I can also join in that circle." Jasmine said to Lechu making a desperate face. That's when Lechu noticed Zara who was standing there silently.

" Where were you girl ? There was no information about you " Lechu went to her side and asked to Zara

" She went to France for celebrating her vacations " Jasmine replied.

" Yeah .... A boring trip. My mom liked going there but I hated it. All I see is old people because we stayed in a three star hotel. It was really boring Laks.  " Zara said rolling her eyes and showing how much she hated it.

" Omg.....  Laks look at that. It's Yuvi.... " Jas nudged Lechu when she noticed Yuvi's entry to party along with Aaliya.

" Who is she ? " Lechu frowned her face when she saw a new girl with him.

" You don't know ? She is his new girlfriend.  " Zara replied. Lechu looked at Aaliya again but she don't remember her face and  shook her head as no.

" She was with Yuvi during school days. You know those people who gets admission through the privileged quota , she came like that. I knew her from that time itself. Laks .....  she had an eye on Yuvi all the time. Your breakup with Yuvi made it easy for her now.... Look how she is sticking to him.... " Zara said with a snobbish look and three girls were staring at Yuvi and Aaliya with so much of attitude.

" I think he has gone mad. Look at her dress..... I can use it to clean things and that hair .... What a disaster ? With just one look I can say she is poor. But what are such people doing in this party ? She tagged along with him like a free loader ? Can't she use some brain to realise that she doesn't even belongs to such parties ....  " Lechu laughed at Aaliya sarcastically. She quickly stood straight diverting her gaze when Yuvi looked at Lechu.
