"Do you know how much beautiful you are looking today?" Sanskar whispered in Swara's ears. She was still wrapped in his embrace and moving slowly on romantic music forgetting the world around them. "I just want to hide you from everyone's gaze. This beauty is only for me to cherish." He felt her tightening her hold over his shoulder. She was looking down with flushed face, biting her inner cheek. She slowly raised her eyelashes to look into his dark brown orbs to get lost in them. She could see her reflection in them accompanied by his passion towards her.

Swara shivered with his hot breath, which was fanning over her ear, his palm was drawing circles on her waist, which was creating havoc in her stomach. His proximity, his husky voice with intense words were taking away all strength from her knees. Thanked to Sanskar, that he was holding her possessively very close to his heart else she would have collapsed long back.

Sanskar knew he needs to take slow steps; he did not want to scare or burden her with his feelings, but he could feel her ardent responses for his advances. He realised that their growing bond, their togetherness, his proximity, his touch, his words were affecting her. She was becoming more comfortable around him. He was content with the feeling that their relation was improving day by day, he would make sure to live all those moments which he missed during last 15 years. They both were enjoying this courtship period.

This courtship period was like a reality check for both of them, over the years they both lived and accepted their fate, under an assumption that they are not important or kind of non-existent or just an acquaintance or just a family friend for the one whom they loved madly from their childhood. Over last week they both realised that they hold very important position in other one's life, and this realisation acted as first step for their lifetime commitment and that was 'trusting each other.'

Their moment was broken by Uttara as other relatives and friends wanted to meet and congratulate them, so they both stepped down from the dance floor to greet their guests.

"Congratulations" Kavya beamed with happiness wrapping her arms around her best friends' shoulder. "I am so so so happy for you"

"Thanks, Kavya" Swara said with bright smile and continued "Where were you? I was waiting for you from so long."

"Liar" Kavya chimed, wiggling her eyebrows and continued "You were waiting for me? Hahahahah. I saw you dancing. You both were lost in your own world. It was so romantic."

"Shut up Kavya" Swara shushed her with wide eyes with blushed face, she looked at her other side at Sanskar who was busy talking to Laksh. 'I hope he would not have listened it.'

"Hey Kavya" Sanskar turned to interrupt their girly talks.

"Hi Jiju, Congratulations. You both make a perfect pair." Kavya wished shaking her hand with him.

"Thanks a lot" Sanskar replied with smile and passed quick glance at Swara's beetroot red face.

"Kavya this is Laksh, Sanskar's brother" Swara introduced them.

"Hey hello, I have another identity as well that I am YOUR best friend from childhood." Laksh said with open mouth and waving his hand in front of Swara's face.

"Ok ok. Kavya this is Laksh MY childhood best friend" Swara said with wide grin rolling her eyes.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Childhood best friend" Kavya greeted him with grin.

Sanskar was laughing shaking his head hearing their banter. Soon he introduced his other friends to Kavya. They all ganged up together to tease the newly engaged couple. By their each teasing session their bond was getting stronger and stronger but Swara's cheeks were fighting a competition with tomatoes, cherries and beetroot.

"Divya we need to go and congratulate Swara and Sanskar" Ashok said looking at his wife who was looking at her daughter every now and then.

"I am going home" Kavita said turning but was stopped when she felt pull over her wrist.

"Kavita, baby I know you are upset but it doesn't look good to leave the party without congratulating ..." Divya was trying to make her furious daughter understand the situation.

"I came for this party to congratulate Sujata Aunty and Ram Uncle, and I wished them, so I am leaving" Kavita said gritting her teeth. It was becoming suffocating for her to see Sanskar with Swara. Their closeness, their intense dance, his possessive hold over her hand everything about them were stabbing her heart with hundred needles. It was too much for her to take in. His words 'Get used to it Kavita. It will be better for you' were ringing in her ears all the time.

"Kavi, I don't want you to create any scene over here. Don't forget he is Maheshwari and she is a daughter of Anurag Mehra, owners of business house for which I work. We can have long discussions after going home." Ashok mumbled in frustrated tone to his daughter, he was pissed off with her self centered attitude. He almost pulled his daughter's wrist.

"Congratulations Sanskar, Congratulations Swara beta" Ashok wished both of them while shaking his hand with Sanskar.

"Thanks Uncle" Swara and Sanskar replied in unison with smile.

"Congratulations to both of you" Divya wished giving a quick hug to Swara.

"Thanks Aunty" Swara replied with smile. But her smile dropped when her gaze went to Kavita's frustrated face.

"Hey Sanskar, congratulations" Kavita tried her best to bring calm voice from her vocal cords. But her eyes were clearly showing her displeasure about Swara and Sanskar's closeness. She hated to see his hold over Swara's hand. She had observed his smile and shine in his eyes, she hated to admit that Swara was the reason behind his happiness.

"Congratulations Swara" Kavita wished giving her a quick hug.

"Thanks, Kavita" Swara said with fake smile, and narrowed eyes. She had already observed Kavita's envy eyes over their intertwined palms.

"Thanks, Kavita" Sanskar replied with small smile.

"I am surprised would be an understatement" Kavita said faking happiness on her face but she could not supress the bitterness from her voice. But Sanskar's sharp eyes had already captured her discomfort and resentment.

"We are leaving Sanskar, there are some guests we are expecting tomorrow early morning. I will inform Ram Sir and Anurag Sir as well." Ashok informed with pressed lips. He just wanted to escape from this situation, he could not afford his daughter's harsh behaviour. If she does anything in her anger, he would have to face wrath from two most influential families of India.

Sanskar nodded his head in acknowledgment but gave a quick glance at Kavita who was clutching her fist and gritting her teeth looking everywhere but not at him and his fiancée.

In cherishing his moments with his love, Sanskar missed furious glares from corner of garden area, it was Sahil. He hated Sanskar from his childhood. Sahil was 4 months elder to Sanskar but Sanskar was everyone's favourite. Sahil had traits of spoiled, rebellious and brat child where as Sanskar was calm, focused, obedient and hardworking.

From his parents' point of view Sanskar was the best son anyone could have. Sahil envied Sanskar not only for his looks but also for his intellect. He was everyone's first choice. Sahil always used his methods to malign Sanskar's image in front of everyone but his cousin held trust of his family. His parents also used to praise Sanskar and used to advise Sahil to be like his cousin. 'Look at Sanskar how much responsible he is? At this young age he joined business and not as owner but as trainee. He is so focused on his life. He knows what he wants to achieve but look at you. You are still wasting your time and our money on you worthless friends and disgusting pleasures. You need to join business soon Sahil, you need to learn a lot. Just because you are my son you will not earn the position in my company.' Sahil remembered his father Sidhhant Sengupta's words.

He always hated his comparison with Sanskar. Siddhant and Sumitra never compared their son with his cousin over intellectual ability, it differs with every child, but their expectation was to have a son who understands his responsibilities, respect his relations, believe in hard work. They always had an ideal son growing up in front of their eyes and being parents, they also wanted that their child to receive all praise making them proud.

Sahil always had his eyes on Swara, she was the most beautiful girl and innocent too but more than that she was the only daughter of Anurag Mehra, who had 20% of holdings on Karma Business House which counted in some thousands of billion dollars net worth. He hated Anurag Mehra and Ram Maheshwari for always blocking his ways towards this sweet, innocent angel, they both were over possessive about their daughters. Sahil wanted to get close with Swara, he wanted to rule over her heart to eliminate Anurag Mehra's rejection. Sahil was well aware about her hyper possessive father, he would do anything to fulfill his daughter's wish.

Last week when he was trying his luck, first her over possessive father interrupted their moment and then Sanskar. His cousin's reaction was some kind of blow to his mind. He never had a slightest of thought that his cousin would be emotionally involved in her. Sahil had seen his possessiveness towards her, he was in deep love with her. His words with regards to their alliance talks broke his cousin's heart, he had first time seen his cousin breaking down miserably.

After party he vowed to win over Swara as his show-off trophy especially to Sanskar. He wanted to flaunt in front of his cousin with his love interest to break him into more pieces and because of this he was forcing his mother Sumitra to push alliance talks going on with Mehra's.

Siddhant and Sumitra were reluctant, they were sure their talks would not lead to anything it would be straight no from Anurag Mehra. They were well aware about their son's habits. A father like Anurag Mehra would not even make them stand in front of him if they even try to broach this topic.

Sahil gulped his whisky glass in one go, he was already down with 5 glasses and this was his 6th. He was sitting on the bar staring at Swara and Sanskar, who were standing together holding each other receiving wishes and greetings from guests with happiness. He was wondering what masterstroke Sanskar would have played to win Swara Mehra in such a short period.

"On the rocks" Sahil said tapping his earlier glass on the counter passing furious glares at Sanskar who was bending and saying something in Swara's ears which caused her to tightly close her eyes with shy smile.

"You are not going back home with Uncle and Aunty; I will come to drop you. We need to celebrate this evening." Sanskar whispered, pulling her more closer to his side and continued showing and caressing her engagement ring "We need our celebration"

"Hey guys why don't you find a room for yourself" Rohan said with disbelief. His cold, arrogant, stone hearted best friend was acting like lovesick puppy something which he was not able to digest from the moment he entered the party area.

"Come on Rohan don't be jealous." Neil said coming back to their gang with his dinner plate followed by others. Soon Swara and Sanskar also joined the gang after filling their dinner plates with food from buffet counters.

"Hey one minute" Uttara shouted capturing everyone's attention sitting on round dinner table.

"Bhai you need to first feed Bhabhi" Uttara exclaimed with wiggling her eyebrows.

"I will be honoured for it" Sanskar said with acknowledgement.

He took small piece of Gulabjam in spoon and brought it in front of her mouth, Swara ate it with shy smile and repeated the same with Sanskar.

Mehra and Maheshwari family were looking at their kids from other table who were happy and content with this new phase of their life. 'They are happy' with this thought Reva and Sujata shared an eye lock with moist eyes with bright smile, whereas Annapurna raised her head to look up in sky to thank her Kanhaji. Anurag, Ram and DP nodded their heads looking at each other.

It was midnight and most of the guests have left from Maheshwari House leaving only Mehra family and Sengupta Family behind. Sengupta's were going to stay at Maheshwari House for next two days.

Swara was with her parents since Sanskar got one important call from his US office. He went inside home to attend it. It was time for Mehra family to bid bye so Anurag and Dida asked for Sanskar, that time Swara said she would go to call him, he must be in study. She started walking towards study room.

"Hey Beautiful" Swara flinched when Sahil suddenly came in front of her. "Congratulations for your engagement with my brother. He truly hit the masterstroke." He said with creepy smile which gave shudders to Swara's spine.

Swara was scared observing his drunk state, his red eyes and unstable moments were giving shivers to her body. She has seen her father, her Ram Uncle or DP Uncle even Sanskar, consuming alcohol during parties but they never went out of their limit. She scrunched her nose; her lungs were filled with alcohol's smell. She ignored and started leaving from there.

"Come on Swara, you did not even thank me. I just wished you. Bad manners." Sahil sounded very disgusting. Swara looked at him in wide eyes she could not believe he was the same Sahil who used to behave with her very sweetly, friendly and gently in past whenever he got couple moments away from her father's eyes.

"Swara, Badi Ma is calling you." Sanskar said standing in middle of Swara and Sahil facing his back towards her but looking straight at Sahil's eyes with furious glares. He lied to her just to send her away from his cousin's filthy gaze.

Swara left a deep sigh looking at his back, suddenly warm protective feeling engulfed her heart.

Swara touched and rubbed Sanskar arms slightly passing message 'cool down'. He caressed her palm with his other hand but not moving his gaze from Sahil's face. He whispered with small smile tilting his head, "Wait for me, I am coming in two minutes"

Swara nodded her head and gave quick glance at Sahil who was trying to balance his body weight on his trembling feet.

"Please come soon" Swara mumbled quickly. Sanskar nodded with acknowledgement understanding her concern for him.

Swara left from there, leaving two brothers to deal with their anger issues.

"Sahil, this is the last time I am warning you to stay away from her. She is MY fiancée. My soon to be wife. You cannot even imagine what I will do with you if you cross her path again. So please, it is my humble request don't dig a grave for yourself." Sanskar warned him in his intimidating voice. His palms were aching to give good lesson to Sahil, but he did not want to create a scene in front of their families.

'You played your game Sanskar but now it's gonna be my turn. She is your heartbeat which I will soon snatch it away from you. I need to act sensibly; this is not the right time.' Sahil thought returning death glare to Sanskar. He turned and moved towards Guest Room which was allotted to him for his two days stay.

'I need to be more cautious; I cannot trust him.' Sanskar thought turning and walking back towards drawing room, while walking he messaged Roger to increase Swara's personal security. There was always security surrounded Swara in civil not to disturb her personal space.

Anurag and Reva have already left with their family back to their home.

Sanskar had already told Anurag and Reva that he would drop Swara back to Mehra house and everybody agreed with teasing session that yes newly engaged couple need some time alone.

"Sujata Aunty" Swara called looking for her parents but then bite her tongue looking at Sujata's wide eyes. "Sorry Mom, where are Mumma and Papa?"

"They left beta." Sujata replied with nod looking at her with most innocent face and pressed lips.

"Ohh, I will go with David then" Swara mumbled to herself.

"Why you have your personal driver Bhabhi? See he is there." Laksh said yawning pointing towards her back.

Swara looked at him with wide eyes. "Go and sleep well" she said scrunching her nose.

Sanskar came and said, "Come let's go." Swara started following Sanskar after bidding bye to Maheshwari family.

"I could have went with David; you must be tired." Swara said getting inside on passenger seat.

"How can I miss any opportunity to spend some time with you?" Sanskar said starting engine of his Black Porsche and shifting gear to drive mode.

He was holding steering wheel with one hand and with other he was holding her hand caressing her knuckles still keeping his eyes on the road. Swara was staring at his calm and handsome face which was adorned with small content smile. He is her man now, one ring, one ritual tied them together for lifetime.

"Congratulations soon to be Mrs. Swara Sanskar Maheshwari. Just 56 days and then you will be all mine." Sanskar said in husky voice stopping car on the red signal.

"Congratulations to you too" Swara replied looking at their hands and then she turned her palm to intertwine her delicate fingers with his long ones.

"Don't stare at me like this" Sanskar said looking at her beautiful face which had smile. The smile which was showing reflection of her happiness.

Swara blushed and turned her gaze out of the window to hide her blush.

"Tomorrow we all are planning for Bowling eve and then dinner, and I need my girl with me as my luck. Will you come or do you have studies?" Sanskar asked her, removing his feet from brake and accelerating his car as single turned to green.

"I will join you. I have one project and presentation to complete, but submission date is after two weeks." Swara replied with bright smile, how can she miss a chance to be with him.

"Which topic?" Sanskar asked with curiosity.

"Securitisation in International Financial Market" Swara replied making boring face.

"Let me know if you need any help" Sanskar said offering his help, 'I can spend more time with her.'

"Of course, I will need help from Gold Medalist of Harvard University" Swara said narrowing her eyes.

"Come on Swara" Sanskar replied with chuckle.

"Yes, I know, I know. Is this something new? Isn't it obvious that trophy will come to me when I am competing, right?" Swara asked wiggling her eyelashes with teased smile.

"These are my lines Swara" Sanskar said with narrowed eyes, stopping the car in front of Mehra House iron gates, and Swara's face dropped at his intense gaze. Watchman opened the gate for him, and he moved car near entrance.

"You will help me na?" Swara said with pout face.

"Of course, Rapunzel" Sanskar said in daze.

"Rap...Rapunzel?" Swara repeated the words in mumbling scrunching her forehead.

Sanskar looked at her in shock with wide eyes, his secret of calling her as Rapunzel was now no more a secret.

"Who is Rapunzel Sanskar?" Swara asked in confusion.

Sanskar gulped 'Should I tell her? Yes, I will let her know.'

"You, you are my Rapunzel" Sanskar said after taking a deep breath, staring deep in her big doe eyes.

"Hmm?" Swara hummed not understanding what he is talking about.

"Yes, I mean Rapunzel have beautiful hairs just like you, long, silky, smooth. And I like it when you keep them open." Sanskar said moving her hair strand behind her ear. He felt the name he gave her was absolutely right feeling softness of her hairs. He was leaning towards her face in daze, losing his all senses.

Swara closed her eyes feeling his touch, she could feel his proximity which increased the pace of her heartbeat to its maximum rate.

"Rapunzel was the most beautiful princess so you. She was also waiting for her prince so you" Sanskar was mumbling staring at her serene face.

Swara felt his hot breath fanning over her face enriching her cheeks with cherry red colour. He moved his hand and cupped her cheek and then put his lips on her forehead mumbling "My Rapunzel"

Swara held collar of his sherwani in her fist. It was their first kiss, she felt shiver passed down her spine. This was the moment she was waiting from last 15 years to be kissed by the love of her life. She was cherishing this moment.

Sanskar had lost all his senses, this was the moment where he could claim his love for her. He kept his lips on her forehead for little longer and then moved his gaze down to look at her flushed face with close eyes. She was looking as beautiful as morning dew.

"I will be always with you My Rapunzel" Sanskar said pecking her forehead one more time to seal his promise.

Swara opened her eyes after a moment with moist eyes to look at Sanskar who was already staring at her.

"I will always trust you Sanskar and will be always with you" She mumbled in low voice and turned her face to snuggle in his chest to hide her flushed face.

Sanskar wrapped her petit figure, encircling in his arms caressing her hairs. They both were lost in that moment feeling each other.

"Good night" Swara said after some moments breaking their hug, "it's too late you should go home"

"Hmm good night" Sanskar said and when Swara got down from car, he waved his hand and then moved car towards gates.

'Just two months and then I will not let you go anywhere' Sanskar's mind was occupied with this only thought.

'We will be soon together, and no one can separate us' Swara kissed her engagement ring and then closed her eyes to call off the day with bright smile adorning her lips.

Next day came with breaking news of two super influential families would be extending their professional relations to personal level officially. Each newspaper or TV channel were broadcasting the events carried over last night at Maheshwari House. Both families had released only one pic to media for Swara and Sanskar, and instantly they were tagged as heavenly couple. Media was wishing them about prosperous life ahead, making all random speculations about the upcoming ceremonies of wedding of the millennium.

'Get used to it Kavita. It will be better for you' Sanskar's words were ringing in Kavita's mind from last night. She threw the iPad which was showing Swara and Sanskar's pic as top headline. She remembered how he was holding Swara's hand possessively not leaving her even for a second. Swara was holding his all attention which Kavita wanted to enjoy desperately over the years but Sanskar have never paid any heed towards her more than just a mere friend.

When they were in school, Kavita was fascinated with Sanskar's charm, and his popularity. Even though he was reserved in nature due to his charm, intelligence and sharp mind he was always used to be on headlines of the school gossips. She was part of their group. She herself did not understand, why Sanskar and Neil, two arrogant devils, used to entertain her during their school days but soon she realised that they used to be with her only when Rohan is around. But in absence of Rohan, they used to avoid her with all ridiculous reasons.

During school days Kavita realised perks being close to Sanskar Maheshwari, why not he was the crowned prince of Karma Business Empire. She was enjoying it all the time and she never realised when she got habituated with these benefits. She thought if Sanskar's friendship would gain her so much then how much she would be able to flaunt her status when his name would get tagged with her. She was always behind him who in turn used to pass his sarcastic replies to her most of the time.

Kavita was thrilled when one day Sanskar asked her for joining him in competition but soon she realised that he had no other option, as Neil had injured his leg during football practice and Rohan was not too much aware about Indian entertainment industry same as Sanskar, he needed her help to answer questions if any raised during competition. But one sharp, sarcastic reply from Sanskar brought her back to earth after winning competition.

His reserved behaviour with other girls, kept her hopes high on her chance with Sanskar. All her dreams shattered when Sanskar rejected her proposal on Prom night. She felt he was going away from her hands.

And then Sanskar shifted to US, came as blow to her mindset. Kavita made sure to keep in contact with him even thought he was miles away from her and used to hardly reply her back. She used to visit him, even though he used to avoid her due to his busy schedule. In last Eight years she had met him only couple of times, but she was successful to create impression in her friend circle that she was in close touch with him.

On one of such meeting, she insisted him to go for dinner. They were having casual talk, or should we say Sanskar was listening to her non-stop talking train bowing his head in Lasagne dinner plate with least interest when by mistake Kavita's palm hit his wine glass and it got spill over his jeans. He excused himself and went to washroom for clean-up. His mobile buzzed with some notification which grabbed Kavita's attention but the picture on his mobile home screen, took away the floor from her feet. It was Swara's smiling face.

Kavita was smart girl, it did not take her much time to join 2 + 2. That evening when she came back to her hotel room, she remembered Sanskar 's behaviour during their school days. He always had his eyes on Swara, he used to care for her, he was extremely possessive for her. But during those days she ignored thinking they both shared family relations. 'Is he in love with Swara? Is he involved in her emotionally? No, I can't let her win. She already has everything why does she need Sanskar?'

Kavita was always jealous of Swara, first she was extremely beautiful girl and was on top of the gossips during their childhood even till today. Second, she was daughter of Anurag Mehra, for whom her father used to work. Roy family was a wealthy family, her parents never said no to any of her demands but still Maheshwari's and Mehra's were super rich and powerful. Third every member of Maheshwari family used to adorn her with love and care. Till yesterday, she least bothered about Sanskar's family thinking she had Ace of the pack in her pocket. But one announcement during party broke her dreams to hold the title as Maheshwari, flaunting her status as crowned queen of Karma Business House.

"Kavi, you will not get anything by taking out your anger on these things" Divya warned her daughter.

"Divya is right, you better concentrate on your career" Ashok seconded his wife.

"How can you easily say this Mom and Dad. He is MY FRIEND" Kavita fumed in anger.

"Yes! He is your just friend nothing more than that. We never felt he gave you any hopes, on the contrary you were hell bent on behind him, having some unusual assumptions in your delusional brain." Ashok eyed his daughter giving her reality check.

"Dad but..." Kavita was interrupted by her father once again.

"Enough Kavita, I don't want to hear anything from you. You wanted us to talk to Maheshwari family we were ready for it but looked like they had made their choice long back. And looking at Swara and Sanskar yesterday, I feel that they are happy with their family's choice. So, I advise step back." Ashok warned his daughter. She was giving headache to him and his wife from last night. After a detailed warning session, he and Divya left from her room leaving Kavita behind who threw all her belongings in her anger.

'I will make him mine' Kavita said in dangerous voice looking at her reflection on broken mirror.

Soon it was evening and Swara was waiting for Sanskar for their evening hangout with other friends. In afternoon, Anika and Vaibhav went back to London promising to come back one week before wedding. Anurag parents and Dida decided to live at Mehra house to help and advice Reva with marriage proceedings, rituals and preparedness. Trio wanted to pamper their grandchild to the fullest before her marriage.

Sanskar and Swara picked up Kavya from her home and headed towards The BowlRoom, an exquisite hangout place in Southern Mumbai where there were alleys created for playing bowling and some tables for playing Billiard and other games with amazing food. Rohan had made sure to book entire place for their evening for private use to avoid any intervention from public and media.

Laksh entered with Uttara whereas Singhania brothers followed them. Rohan entered their names on the screen for bowling line up where as Neil and Sanskar were busy giving orders for their snacks and drinks. Boys ordered Beer whereas girls ordered variety of drinks including Mojito, Sangria, Cosmo, PinaColada. They all were sitting on the round sofa in front of the bowling lanes with center table in middle.

"Hey Sanskar, your turn now" Rohan called him after finishing his turn and scoring 15 in his first round. He was sitting beside Swara.

Sanskar went to take his turn after choosing the ball, his eyes were on the bottles and he threw the ball in the middle of the lane. He was observing the ball leading with pace towards bottles, and it hit the 'STRIKE'

"That's strike man" Neil, Rohan and Laksh shouted jumping at their place, whereas girls clapped with appreciation.

"Swara it's your turn" Sanskar called her. She got up from her seat and went to choose the ball.

She was looking after the balls when Sanskar interrupted "This will be heavy for you, take size 8 that will be good for you."

Swara took the ball as per his instructions he was standing beside her when she took her turn and ball went to foul line. She scrunched her lips when Sanskar held her waist and said "Come I will show you"

He took another ball, stood behind her holding her waist with one hand and from other he was holding her right arm which was carrying ball. His breath was fanning over her neck and his hold on her waist leaving her in breathless state. They both threw the ball and this time ball did not went in foul lane but hit the center bottle earning a score of 7 for her. She jumped with happiness clapping her hands and Sanskar was admiring her smiley face. He pulled her towards his chest, shifting her hair strands behind her ears. She looked at him in wide eyes, he was flirting openly with her in front of his friends and cousins. They came back to their seat.

"Thanks, Swara because of you this arrogant jerk became a family man" Rohan complemented them.

Swara lowered her eyes with shyness. All were enjoying this time and soon waitresses came with variety of snacks such as Nachos, Bruschetta, Hot Chicken Wings, Garlic Bread, Crab and Lobster Cheese dip with Chips and their drinks.

Rohan's phone was vibrating frequently, and he was excusing himself again and again to go out to talk to the caller. Neil and Sanskar shared eye contact looking at their best friend who was standing at far and were talking on the call with amused smile. They played for three hours and then decided to go for restaurant for Italian dinner.

"Guys you all go ahead, I need to run for somewhere" Rohan said moving towards his car in parking lot. Laksh have already left with Uttara and Kavya. He connected with kavya instantly, he liked her bubbly nature. Whereas giving some time alone to Swara and Sanskar was the reason, Kavya to join Laksh and Uttara.

Sanskar and Neil narrowed their eyes and said in unison "Spill the beans out."

"It's nothing" Rohan said trying to cover but looking at stern gaze from his friends he continued "OK. It's about one girl" Rohan said and continued when saw shocked faces of Sanskar and Neil, "She and I... I mean I met her couple of months back...and we are kind of together" Rohan said with flushed face.

"That's wonderful news. Congratulations" Neil said hugging Rohan.

"Hey guys there is nothing serious... we are just going steady...you know right it takes time" Rohan stammered trying to make his crazy friends understand.

"It's ok take your time" Sanskar replied with teased smile giving him quick hug.

"Congratulations Rohan what is her name?" Swara asked, she was standing beside Sanskar.

"Keerti" Rohan replied with flushed face, scratching back of his neck.

"Again 'K'" Neil shouted in disbelief.

"Do you have any fascination for letter K or what?" Sanskar said at the same time shaking his head in disbelief.

"Guys you both are pathetic. I am leaving" Rohan said angrily and moved towards his car.

"Come on Rohan. We are your well-wisher. Hope she would not be like Kavita" Sanskar said pressing his lips to supress his laugh.

"Cross fingers" Neil showed his cross fingers to Rohan wrapping his other arm around Sanskar's shoulder.

"Go to hell" Rohan said passing death glare to his friends where as Swara was looking at the trio in shocked stricken face not understanding their banter.

Sanskar and Neil laughed loudly looking at Rohan's grumpy face but soon he joined them for their laughing session.

"Do one thing, pick her up and then join us in hotel" Sanskar said opening passenger door for Swara.

"Sure bro" Rohan said with nod and moved towards his car.

"What does that mean?" Swara asked innocently when Sanskar started the car.

"What?" Sanskar asked her in confusion.

"You said that she should not be like Kavita" Swara asked scrunching her eyebrows.

"Arre Swara, Rohan had huge crush on Kavita when we were in school and because of him we had to bear that Fashion Magazine" Sanskar replied with smile shaking his head remembering their school days and especially his friend's craziness.

"Kavita was in your group because Rohan had crush on her?" Swara asked in shock with wide eyes like her eyeballs would come out of their sockets.

"Of course, else why would she be a part of OUR group?" Sanskar said casually shrugging his shoulders, he looked at Swara who was looking at him with shock-stricken face and open mouth.

"Why are you shocked?" Sanskar asked in confusion not understanding her recent reaction.
