She was drowning, but nobody saw her struggle.
And one day Death seemed more inviting than life...

Chintan walked out of the house, entered the party tent, and directly walked towards Kaustubh, Payal, and others.

They talked before Chintan's eyes fell on Chetanya looking all dapper in his yellow kurta with Bundi, looking lost in himself.

'Hey...where are you lost' Chintan spoke as he kept a hand on his shoulder bringing him back.

'Nothing Bhai' He replied with a small smile.

Chintan noticed his dull smile, but before he could speak anything Avinash came and spoke 'Chintan Bhai, where were you...I was waiting for you'

'For me' He raised an eyebrow 'Why?' He asked.

'Sia is here, come on...meet her' Avinash spoke as he kept his hand over his shoulder and pulled him.

Chetanya stood there alone, as he recalled whatever Jenifer told him today, the things she accepted to him after the hug.

Thanks to god Tushar had to leave in between and they got a chance to talk that time. He looked around as if searching for someone, suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned around and saw Jenifer standing wearing an olive green saree, looking absolutely gorgeous.

He checked her out from top to bottom with puppy eyes, and then looked into her eyes.

'Whaao...you look so...' he stopped for a moment to catch his breath and continued with a very small smile 'Beautiful'.

Jennifer smiled at him as she turned crimson.

'Thank you' Jennifer replied as she continued to blush.

Suddenly Jennifer remembered something and spoke 'Chet when...' Suddenly Jennifer realized what she was about to say, she bit her lips, cleared her throat, looked at him before continuing

'I mean...Chetanya are we going to tell Chintan about Alexander'

Chetanya looked around to see if somebody heard them. Suddenly he held her wrist and pulled her outside the tent.

'No, I don't think so...its, not the best time' Chetanya spoke softly as he looked around to see if there is someone present or not.

To his relief, there was no one. 'Jennifer...I think right now everyone is happy and enjoying themselves...just let them...and also it isn't a big of a deal...Bhai has handled a lot of bigger problems'

'But Chetanya...Alex is...' 'Shhh...' He shushed her by keeping his index finger on lips.

'Nothing will happen'

Jennifer looked at Chetanya and then at his finger. She wrapped her hands around his hand lightly to remove the finger from her lips.

Chetanya saw it and stopped her. He then caressed her cheek and came closer to her. He neared her lips as he saw her close her eyes.
