Shayaan's POV:-

"Salman I'm looking fine. Right?" I asked as I showed him my outfit over the skype.

"Fine is not a word for you. You look hot and stunning as always!" He showed me a thumbs up.

"Really?" I grinned.

"Hell Yeah dude! All the girls are gonna faint" He also showed a huge grin.

I don't care for all the girls. I care for Just one special girl who is making my heart go crazy.

"You were never that nervous Shayaan. Anything special?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Yup! Thats because I want to impress someone" I smiled on which he gasped.

"Are you even serious?" He asked with shocked expressions.

"100 percent serious!" I winked and he laughed.

"Finally! You found someone" He sighed in relief.

But that someone is taking too long to accept my love.

"Yeah" I scratched the back of my neck.

"Bro why do you look tensed?" I asked noticing his face which seemed grim to me.

"Nothing man just some complications are bugging me. Don't worry I will sort them out" He smiled a smile which was not reaching his eyes. I didn't want to drag the topic so I nodded. After talking for few more minutes we hung up.

Glancing at my reflection in the mirror I took a sigh. I was wearing a simple black, full sleeved shirt along with black skinny jeans and black boots.

Taking my cell phone and placing it in my pocket I headed outside and drove towards the venue hall where our Annual Party was held.

Reaching there I got out of the car and stood just a little away from the entrance, my eyes searching that one angelic face.

"Ohhh my God Shayaan you look perfect!" Samanta mouthed as soon as she saw me.

"I know right? You don't look less stunning yourself" I winked on which she giggeled.

"Going with?" I inquired.

"Steven!" She replied going all dreamy.

"Ahem! Someone is falling" I smacked her arm.

"What about you?" She asked with raised eyebrow making my cheeks heat up.

"I'm going with my bookworm!" I replied.

"You mean Haniya?" She gasped.

"Ofcourse, who else?" I smiled.

"I ship Shaniya! Since the begining!" She laughed and my mouth went wide.

"How did you know that somehow one day I will fall for her?" I asked as curiosity built up inside me.

"That was just my guess because whenever she was around you, you would be different in a strange way like her presence effects you, like she was the one who can give you those tingling feelings" she smiled genuinely.

"Told her yet?" She asked amusingly.

"Yeah! Hope she will give her answer soon. My heart is going crazy now" I sighed.

The fear of rejection is just too much.

"Don't you even worry. How can anyone not accept a hottie like you?" She elbowed me on which I laughed pushing her slightly.

and just then Steven arrived looking like a gentleman wearing a blue tux.

"Here comes my prince!" She laughed and went away. Haniya was still not here yet.

Why do girls take so much time!!

I took my phone from my jean's pocket and dialled her number.

"Hello!" Her voice came from the other side.

"Haniya where are you? I've been waiting for you at the entrance since 20 minutes" I started tapping my foot on the carpet.

"Ahh! Old habbit of getting late. Rameen always used to complain about it" she replied and then laughed.

"Turn around" her voice came.

"Ok!" I whispered and turned around and there she was standing at the door of the hall looking gorgeous as ever, I couldn't look away.

"Hi!" She came closer and whispered as she smiled making my heart skip a beat.

"You look...Gorgeous! Somebody save me please!" I placed my hand on my heart as I shut my eyes for a split second.

"Shayaaaan!" She smacked my head lightly and I laughed even though my eyes were stuck on her face and that smile of hers was just beyond perfect. The way she walked in her simple black dress was elegant. Her hair was set together in a high ponytail.

Delicacy personified!

"You look hot yourself!" She winked.

"Woah! Woah! You just called me hot. Is it actually hot here or its because of me?" I stated dramatically on which she rolled her eyes.

"We both are wearing black" I grinned.

"Perfect match!" We high fived eachother.

"Lets go!" I curved my elbow and she held it softly and we walked inside like a couple.

I wish this was not for just a party but for my entire life.

Haniya's POV:-

"Sit here I'll be back in two minutes" Shayaan said as soon as we took a table.

"But where are you going?" I asked. Deep down I was having a not so good feeling because everyone was looking at me in a strange way and it scared me. Maybe they had never seen me in a dress.

He didn't reply and ran towards the DJ. Looking around I found my class fellows and the seniors as well, everyone dancing with their partners and enjoying themselves.

The hall was set beautifully with purple and red curtains on the windows and huge chandeliars spreading glow in every corner of the hall. There were candles placed on each table and soft music was playing in the background.

"Hey! Are you the same girl from the engineering department, Sir Jacob appreciate alot?" A guy's voice came from behind.

As I turned I saw a guy who was dressed well but his smirk and body language was not giving me good signs.

"You got any problem?" I looked away not wanting to talk to him.

"Just want a dance with you sexy lady!" He came infront of me and smirked.

Weirdo Alert!!

"No Thank You! I have someone already and there is no place for cheapsters" I rolled my eyes at him.

"You are rejecting a gem for that flirt?" He pointed towards Shayaan making my blood boil with anger.

How the hell he can say that? He is not a flirt he is just friendly! He stopped all that long ago.

"He is my choice and you better not poke your nose in this matter and please leave" I said with gritted teeth.

He came deadly close to me and peered into my eyes as he clenched his jaw.

"You will regret whatever you just uttered with your tempting lips. How dare you call me cheapster?" He mouthed as he banged his fist on the table making me flinch at my place. Without saying another word he left and I sighed in relief.

Phewwwww!

Just then Shayaan came and smiled at me making my fear and anger disappear somewhere.

"Can I have a dance with you pretty lady?" He extended his hand towards me as our eyes met.

Your words always sooth my heart and your eyes make me wonder how can someone hold this much care, sincerity and Love!

"Ofcourse!" I replied as I put my hand in his. He slowly curled his fingers around it making my heart skip so many beats at once.

He looked at our hands which were locked together and smiled to himself. With that we headed towards the dancing area as the DJ played a soft song.

"This is not just a song. These words are my feelings Haniya!" He said as he went behind me.

"There is something I gotta tell you,
It goes like this..." Shayaan whispered the lyrics in my ear, his breath fanned my neck making me shut my eyes.

"Do you know you control every single breath I take
You can see through my soul, I feel it in the love we make"

He came infront of me as he placed his one hand on my waist and I placed mine around his neck.

"And I try to find a place where I can hide yeah,
But every time I try to fight the feeling it takes over me yeah"

"It always take over me bookworm!" He nodded his head while dancing.

"It must be love baby cause it's killing me looking in your eyes
It must be love cause every time you walk away I just fall apart"

He swirlled me around and pulled me to himself, our faces inches apart and hearts racing a marathon.

"And I don't know what it is, but I feel I'm in too deep
No, I don't know what it is, it must be love
Yeah, it must be love"

He sang the lyrics while staring deep in my eyes in a way that I couldn't look away. He pulled away as we swayed together as the song proceeded.

"When we talk you can read every word inside my head
Like you know what I need, and I can't imagine anywhere"

He walked a little away and looked at me while singing as he held my both hands into his and kissed each giving me goosebumps and my heart was about to explode any second.

"You have handled me everytime. Just give me one chance to handle you forever?" He whispered.

"I.... Shayaan!" I gulped the lump in my throat as my mouth went dry.

"I know. Don't say anything!" He smiled hiding his grim expressions.

I know you will never show how hurt you will be if I will not accept your love just because of our friendship but I can't see you like this. I don't want you to go away from me but I'm just a mess myself.

"I'd wanna be then right here with you baby, next to me" He whispered as he wrapped his one hand around my waist pulling me close.

"Why can't you see I try to fight the feeling, but I do believe
It must be love baby cause it's killing me looking in your eyes
It must be love cause every time you walk away I just fall apart"

He carassed my cheek and I saw his eyes pooling up. He shut his eyes and made me swirl.

And I don't know what it is, but I feel I'm in too deep
No, I don't know what it is, it must be love.

"It must be love" I whispered this time as I couldn't hold myself. As feelings engulfed me, telling me that it is Love.

"It must be love
It must be love
It must be love
It must be love"

We both sang the lyrics as we moved from one side to the other. His fingers were curled softly around my waist making it burn.

He detached his fingers and disappeared in the crowd. I looked here and there trying to find him.

"I try to find a place where I can hide
But everytime I try to fight the feeling it takes over me.

It must be love baby cause it's killing me looking in your eyes
It must be love cause every time you walk away I just fall apart"

He repeated the lyrics as he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind in a way that my back collided with his chest. His touch was making my heart go berserk as shivers ran down my spine making me shudder internally.

I could feel his heart hammering against my back and his minty breath fanning my neck.

Goshh! He is all set to give me a heart attack!

"And I don't know what it is, but I feel I'm in too deep
No, I don't know what it is, it must be love.

"It must be love
It must be love"

He swirled me two more times again and then held onto me with his one hand while I clutched his neck tightly, affraid to fall.

The song ended with me in his arms as we stared into eachothers eyes. Shayaan leaned down coming deadly close to me making my breath go uneven.

"It must be love" he whispered the last time making me stand straight. My heart was still thumping hard and I felt flushed.

Everyone clapped in appreciation while I saw few girls stating "They look perfect together"

Ohhhhh God I'm falling for him. I never got these feelings ever before.

He was looking here and there not meeting my eyes.

It was as if he got lost in the song as the words portrayed his feelings perfectly. It made me sink in the strange but peaceful feeling as well.

"Shayaan you are a perfect dancer you know!" I nudged him trying to break the awkward silence.

"So as you are bookworm!" He winked as he lead me to the table. We sat there. The food was already placed on the table while we were dancing.

"Hungry?" He asked.

"Very!" I nodded.

With that we started eating the delicious food.

"Salman was looking sad, I'm sure something is bothering him" Shayaan said.

"Really? What happened! How is Rameen!" I asked with a frown.

"I don't know, haven't talked to her yet girl!" He replied as he took a bite of the sandwitch.

"He said few complications are bugging him!" Shayaan shrugged.

"I hope these are not in their relation" I stated.

"I'll talk to Mom because my bro is not gonna tell me anything" Shayaan said assuringly

"Ok!" I smiled and he mirrored it.

After we were done we headed outside.

"Today is the best day ever!" I mouthed as Shayaan leaned against his car and I stood infront of him.

"I will make your everyday the best if you allow me to!" He whispered to himself but loud enough for me to hear.

I will let you Shayaan!

"Thanks to the person standing infront of me!" Shayaan gestured towards me making me smile.

"Nope its the best because of you!" I pulled his cheek.

"I guess you just really love my cheeks. If I got money for everytime you pulled my cheeks I must be a millionaire by now" He stated rubbing his cheek on which I laughed.

"Let me drive you to your dorms!" Shayaan opened his car's door for me and I sat inside.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you are looking today? I bet the moon must also be jealous!" He pointed towards the moon as we drove past the hall.

"You did!" I blushed.

Damn!! he is making me blush now!

The whole ride was silent but it was a peaceful silence. He dropped me and after biding goodbye I went inside.

Salman's POV:-

I just came back from office and was standing in the kitchen with Mom.

"Mom where is Rameen?" I asked grimly.

"So finally you miss her?" Mom smacked my head angrily.

"I know I have been acting rude" I sighed remembring all those fights.

"She is out for shopping. She wanted to meet some friends as well" she replied giving me a glass of juice.

"When she will come back?" I inquired.

"At night!" She replied as she started making coffee for Dad.

"Salman!" She called.

"Yeah Mom?" I replied while looking at her.

"Your Dad wants to talk to you!" Mom said with plain expression as she poured the coffee in the cup.

"But why? I mean is he angry?" I asked scratching my eyebrow.

"Yes he is!" Mom shrugged and headed outside the kitchen.

Ok I'm dead. RIP Salman.

I walked towards my parent's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Dad replied.

I went inside and saw him sitting on the bed doing something on his laptop as he held his coffee in his hand which Mom just gave him.

"Sit!" He patted the space on the bed, near him.

"Yes Dad? Have I done something wrong?" I asked lowaly affraid that I might have hurt him.

"Salman! Look. Yes I have expectations from you and you have always made me proud by your hard work but did I ever tell you to stop giving importance to your relation?" Dad asked with utmost seriousness.

Ohh so its about Rameen.

"No Dad!" I replied feeling guilty as hell.

"Have you seen how sad she is? How badly she needs you?" Dad put his hand on my shoulder.

"Dad I was so lost in the office work" I stated and looked down.

"But your wife's feelings are much important than this buisness. You married her Salman, you have made promises don't ever let anything come between you both. Marriage is the sweetest responsibility and the most beautiful relation" He said knocking some sense in my stupid mind.

Why the hell I forgot all that? She was crying infront of me and I left without taking even a single glance at her.

Die Salman.

"You are not coming to the office for the next month! Go and say sorry to her and let her know how special and important she is for you because I know you love her more than anything" Dad smiled at my direction.

"I have to and I will. Thank you Dad!" I hugged him and he hugged back.

"And! Don't you dare to hurt her again. She is like my own daughter!" He pointed his finger at me showing anger.

"I promise I won't!" I assured him and left the room.

I'm sorry Rameen. I will set everything in its place again and we will again become the love birds we were back then. When people will see both of us they will shout "Goals".
