HM WALKED IN WEARING A BEAUTIFUL LAVENDER-SHADED SAREE PAIRED WITH SMALL EARRINGS AND HER HAIR STYLED UP INTO SLEEK CURLS AND HALF-OPENED...SHE LOOKED GORGEOUS...SHE LOOKED AT AS...SHE CAN FEEL THE GAZE...

ARYAN SMILED AND STUMPED AS FOOT...HE SUPPRESSED A MOAN...HE TOO SMILED BACK AT HER...SHE CAME AND SEATED HERSELF BESIDE THE LEFT OF AS...

HM SMILED AT HIS COMPLIMENT...SHE WISHED HIM GOODNIGHT AND THEY BOTH WALKED INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE ROOMS...ARYAN WAS ALREADY ASLEEP...AS SILENTLY SNUGGLED INSIDE THE BLANKET...

HM'S THOUGHTS WERE STILL REVOLVING AROUND HIM...THE UNKNOWN FEELING AND KNOT IN HIS STOMACH WHEN SHE WAS SO CLOSE TO HIM...HE GENTLY TOOK OUT THE HANDKERCHIEF...HE FELT THE GENTLE IMPRINT OF HER LIPSTICK...HIS HAND INVOLUNTARILY MOVED THE IMPRINT TOWARDS HIS LIPS...HE CLOSED HIS EYE TO FEEL THE SOFT TOUCH...

 **Now talking about what's going on in the show...First of all, I'm sure that there is a special and quite dangerous mission Anubhav has been allotted...That's why he wants to distance himself from Haseena...he tried to evaluate doubt between them regarding the pictures but HM fully trusted him...so now maybe he is trying to act rude so that HM dislikes him...I don't really expect a heartbreak this time...but shayad sagai tootne ke baad Haseena ko mission ke baare mein pata chale...🤞
