Sara walked around her room, trying to remember important points for her debate.
That's when be door swung open revealing Shubman.

Sara hastily turned around her heart pounding from the sound.

"You scared me!" Sara said chuckling.

"Do you love me?" Shubman asked pinning Sara to the wall.

"Shubman. What?" Sara asked her face inches from his.

"Do. You. Love. Me?" Shubman asked cupping her face.

"Why does it matter?" Sara asked looking into his eyes.

"It matters, alot." Shubman said caressing her cheeks.

"I'll miss you." Sara said resting her forehead on his.

Without a word Shubman leaned in capturing her lips in his. His hands found their way to her waist as he pulled her closer. Her arms encircled his neck, tugging on his hair.

"I'll miss you too." Shubman said pulling away, leaving both of breathless.

"So you are telling me that you think Shubman is still not over Esha?" Alysha asked glancing up from her laptop.

"Yea, I mean when he talks about Esha there is this love in his eyes, his eyes lit up. But, even when he looks at me, I don't see that in his eyes. I don't see love." Sara said sitting down with a thud.

"What do you see?" Alysha asked sitting beside Sara.

"I don't see anything." Sara replied looking down.

"But I do. I see admiration, respect, comfort and trust. Everytime he talks about you, his eyes don't lit up, his face does. He gets this glow on his face, a smile which melts hearts.
You don't always need to love someone to be with them, I mean ofcourse after a certain point everybody needs love.
But Shubman, didn't get love. He doesn't know love. Esha was there but not with him, not for him. His eyes light up with their fond memories, not because of love. He must have had respect, admiration for her but I don't think we can call it love. Love is different, it's the most beautiful feeling in the world. Shubman has only gotten pain in his life, be his shield protect and love him. He needs you more than you need him Sara." Alysha said wiping away Sara's tears.

"Do you think he will ever fall in love me?" Sara asked with a tinge of vulnerability.

"You are Sara Tendulkar babe, who wouldn't fall in love with you?" Alysha asked creepily smiling and Sara laughed smacking her head.

Alysha always made her laugh, maybe that's what home is made of.

"YOU KISSED HER?" Ishan asked screaming into Shubman's ears.

"Yes." Shubman said his cheeks red as he looked down blushing.

"And you let her go?" Jugnu asked facepalming himself.

"Obviously, she had a debate." Shubman said rolling his eyes.

"Where are you right now?" Jugnu asked making Shubman confused.

"In my apartment." Shubman said chuckling.

"What are you doing?" Jugnu asked again.

"Talking to you? Are you okay? Do you have fever?" Shubman asked scoffing.

"You are free for 2 weeks?" Jugnu asked sitting beside him.

"Yes." Shubman said raising his eyebrows only to get a kick from Ishan and smack from Jugnu.

"You could have gone with her." Ishan said tickling Shubman.

"Right." Shubman said while smiling sheepishly.

________________

It had been one week since Sara came back and neither of them had the courage to meet or text eachother, especially after the kiss.

Shubman watched himself in the mirror for the last time, he was going to his friend's reception and was he getting ready for the reception? No. He was getting ready to impress Sara Tendulkar.

Shubman stood at the entrance of the beautifully decorated hall. He felt a flutter in his heart as he stepped in with Sebastian and Jugnu.

Shubman looked around the room, his eyes trvellinu through everyone, until his eyes found her. Time seemed to slow down as she was walked in with her friends and oh boy did she look unreal?

She wore a stunning white shimmery saree that hugged her curves perfectly. The fabric flowed elegantly as she walked. Her long hair was tied into a messy bun, showcasing her bare back making his breath hitch.

She was wearing a beautiful pair of jewellery but what really caught his attention was her bracelet. The bracelet he had given her when they were teenagers. The thought of her cherishing the bracelet send butterflies around his stomach.

As she scanned through the room, her eyes finally met Shubman and a smile adorned her lips making Shubman feel right at home. As she walked towards him, everybody turned around to see the beauty walking upto her man.

When she finally stood before him, his mind was going crazy and for one minute his heart stopped beating. She was nothing short of a dream, she was everything he would ever need, ever want.

"You look breathtaking." Shubman breathed out.

"You don't look so bad yourself." Sara said trying to hide her blush.

Shubman chuckled looking down. Sara stood still, her heart racing every second.

The moment she caught his eyes, she was awstruck. He looked straight out of a painting, with his thick eyebrows and deep alluring eyes. But what made her heart jump out from her body was when he smiled.

That smiled which could light up the whole world, that smile which send shivers down her spine.

He was wearing a white kurta, their outfits contrasting with eachother. She smiled as he looked up at her.

"Can I have this dance?" Shubamn asked stretching out his hand.

"Ofcourse." Sara said taking his hand in her's.

__________

As they gently swayed to the song, Sara rested her head on Shubman's shoulder, closing her eyes. Shubman's hands found their way to her waist gently caressing it.

"Sara, I don't know how to love you, Love anyone." Shubman said gently, worried that he is going to lose her too.

"I know and that's what I am here for." Sara said looking up at him.

"You love me?" Shubman asked looking into her eyes.

"I love you." Sara said caressing his cheeks.

Shubman pulled her to a quite room. As they entered the room, Sara felt his Shubman's hands slide around her waist, pulling her closer, without a word he leaned in kissing her.

Sara responded eagerly, her fingers tangled in his hair, softy caressing it. Shubman deepened the kiss, lifting her off the ground and making her sit on the table.

Shubman shifted, tilting her head back slightly, allowing him to access her neck. He peppered kisses along her jawline.

As he kissed his way down, he spotted her soft spot, he sucked it gently leaving a red hickey. She gasped clutching his hair.

Shubman pulled away, gently caressing her hickey while Sara playfully glared at him.

"Do you have concealer?" Shubman asked stroking Sara's hair.

"It's with Alysha." Sara said playing with his fingers.

"I'll go get it." Shubman said before kissing her forhead and going out.

Only if she knew that she will have to hide the hickies for the rest of her life.
