"So, Blind date, hmm?" eating cookies from the plate kept on the decorated table, Anubhav enquired while looking at Vihaan.
He was wearing black jeans and a blue tee.
"Yup" eyes focused on his favourite thing, wine glass Vihaan wearing black jeans and black fitted tee responded, absentmindedly.
Vansh wearing black jeans and the black tee was sitting next to Vihaan on the same round table along with Avni, Saaransh and Shanaya and looked at Shanaya the moment Vihaan answered.
Shanaya wearing black jeans and a blue tank top with a blue Long Shrug did not look toward anyone, her attention was focused solely on the fruit juice kept in front of her.
"But why?" wearing blue jeans and blue peasant Avni spoke emphasising on 'why'?
"Why do people go on a date!?" taking a sip, Vihaan spoke, once again ignoring any eye contact.
Observing everything, Vansh noticed Vihaan was not making eye contact while talking about it and he knew the reason. .
"You are going on a blind date, not on a date, Vihaan" narrowing her eyes at Vihaan, Avni spoke again.
"Exactly! Why are you going on the blind date out of nowhere?" speaking for the first time, Saaransh looked at Vihaan.
Saaransh too was wearing black jeans and black tee, just like all of them.
At last, Vihaan withdraws his eyes from the wine glass and looking at each of them one by one, rest his eyes on Shanaya who was not looking at anyone and spoke: "I want to get married."
Dhak dhak... dhak dhak.... dhak dhak
Shanaya's heart shrank the moment she heard Vihaan and lost all the senses. She felt her heart breaking into millions of pieces, each piece sharpness wounding her.
Her eyes were fighting to control the tears, but, her heart was weeping, silently.
Shanaya found the next fifteen minutes the most torturous minutes of her life. She wanted to cry her heart out, but no way was she going to cry in front of them.
But, the mere thought of him having a family with someone else sounded like a death sentence to her.
It was bleeding her heart.
Vihaan saw Shanaya act all normal and, it did not go well with him. He wanted to see a reaction from her small or big, but, the silence from her was more worrisome.
Four months were too long to pretend.
The statement ' I love someone else' kept ranging on his mind and, he was going crazy listening to it. He wanted to know so many things, God! he wanted to do so many things to her and, he was regretting his word' forget it, now" more than anything.
After some time, he heard her excusing herself and saw her removing her Shrug to keep it on her chair and tying her open hair in a messy bun.
But, as soon he saw her walking away, he closed his hands in a fist.
Her almost backless top was revealing too much of her skin and not to forget the tattoo.
................................................................................
Shanaya was standing leaning against the wall, looking outside at the lawn full of people from the window when she heard Vansh" Code 'Red'."
Code 'Red' was a code invented by them in which they could share or say anything to each other without telling the person name or asking for more information.
Whatever a person wanted to speak, the other listens without judgement and questions.
Laughing genuinely, she turned her attention to Vansh and smiled at him.
"The girl I like seems to like me too. But, she does not say it clearly." looking outside the window, standing beside her, Vansh spoke while crossing his arm around his ċhėst.
"I am confused lately. I am attracted to someone but, my past is stopping me or, we can say it is, warning me." looking at nowhere particular, Shanaya spoke.
Not until she saw kritika joining the party and, all the rage she had felt for her resurfaced.
She spoke with the tone full of anger and hatred" I do not know, but, I feel myself hating her."
Shanaya wanted to hate someone and, kritika seemed to be perfect for it. Shanaya was not the bitchy type, but, at the moment, she wanted to be selfish, to be the bad girl, to feel nothing but hatred for someone.
Looking at her with pure hate, she spoke again" Look at her showing her cleavage! I mean seriously!"
"It's not much, Shana." enjoying her bitchy mood, Vansh spoke.
Yup, it was not much and, to Shanaya's annoyance, Kritika was looking beautiful in blue halter-strap neckline gown with thɨġh high-slit.
"Look at her legs! Don't you think she is showing off?" biting her lips in anger, Shanaya was ready to toast kritika with her eyes only.
"Well, she is sėxy enough to show off." responding, Vansh continued to look at Kritika.
Two of them were so busy bitching Kritika they paid no attention to anyone.
"Bitching about my ex gf, is it?"
Shanaya jumped and put her hands on her mouth when she heard Vihaan and saw him standing all handsomely behind them and looking at her with those intense eyes of him she always loved.
