Author's POV:

Shivina and Shubman sorted things out, but in a corner of her heart she was still hurt by his actions. Not wanting to show her hurt self, she carried on herself with a smile. Today is Soshti i.e., the 6th day of navratra and being in Ahmedabad, no way she could miss going for a garba night.

Currently she's getting ready in a pair of Chaniya choli which she bought last time when she visited the market with Shahneel. She heard a nock on the door and upon opening the door she saw Nivisha and Shahneel standing. Shahneel stood there with her clothes in her hands. 

Shahneel: yaar Shivi main nhi jaanti tu hi ready kar de mujhe 

Shivina: aao main aapko ready kardun!

Shahneel went to the washroom and came out after wearing her clothes. Shivina pinned up her dupatta nicely in the gujju way, also doing her hair. 

After getting Shahneel ready, Shivina continued with getting ready and after half an hour they came to the lobby. They settled down in both the cars with Shubman, Sara, Shahneel, Arjun in one car and Karan, Shivina, Nivisha and Ishan in another.

They in no time reached the venue, getting of the car they entered the venue. All of them formed a circle as the first song Chogada played. Shahneel, Shivina and Nivisha grooved to the song as they knew the hook steps. Sara and Shubman were side by side grooving. Karan was beside Shivina and their steps synced as the DJ played Dholida.

While dancing Shivina's eyes lingered on Shubman and Sara who looked happy dancing with each other. The scene of them happy together made Shivina feel guilty even at the thought of liking Shubman and a tear slipped of her eyes. Wiping away the tear she continued to groove to the beats shrugging of the unnecessary thoughts.

Taking a break all of them went to the drinks corner. Shubman decided to get a blueberry drink for Shivina as she seemed quiet exhausted. He passed her the glass, but Karan took it away. Shubman looked at him with a hint of rage in his eyes. These days he didn't get enough time to spend with Shivina and one of the reason was Karan.

Shubman: Excuse me!

Karan: U r her best friend?

Shubman: yeah!

Karan: then don't you know that she's allergic to blueberry

Shubman couldn't say a word, and stood there with a blank face. Karan passed her another drink.

Karan: here have your litchi drink! I know you love it!

Upon seeing this Shubman silently walked away. Within 3 - 4 hours they were back to the hotel after spending a blast evening, while dancing enjoying delicacies, clicking pics and what not.

After coming back to the hotel, Shivina changed her clothes instantly plopping on the bed as she was exhausted due to the powerful dance steps. She scrolled through her instagram posting today's pic.

Shivina's POV:

It has been two days since the garba night and today is Maha Ashtami, and being a bengali I can never ever think of missing it in my worst nightmare. I got the bengali genes a bit more than the gujju genes.

Currently I'm getting ready in a saree to go to the temple for today's anjali, as today is my fasting too. I draped my bronze colored banarasi saree with a hint of purple in it, nicely pinning it up with my blouse on the shoulder. That's when Nivi and Karan came to my room, all ready to visit the temple.

We together came to the lounge to inform bhai and bhabhs about us going to the temple. But they couldn't be seen instead Shubman and his family were present. I walked to the to wish them good morning.

Shivina: Good morning di! Good morning uncle aunty!

Keart: Good morning puttar

Shahneel: good morning Shivi

Shubman: oye main bhi hun mujhe toh good morning wish nhi kiya

Shivina: teri toh morning kahin aur good ho hi gayi hogi

I murmured under my breath but not loud enough to be heard by anyone. 

Keart: kinni soni lag rahi hai Shivi puttar tu!

Shivina: thank you aunty

Keart: Kaka tu na Shivi se shaadi karle isse achi ladki tujhe milegi hi nhi

I and Shubman froze then and there and there was an awkward silence which aunty broke by asking me for breakfast.

Keart: breakfast kar liya puttar tune?

Shivina: nhi aunty woh aaj meri fasting hai.

Shahneel: aaj kuch hai kya Shivi? 

Shivina: haan di woh aaj Ashtami hai aur hum bengalis aaj mandir jaate hai puja karne k liye

Shubman: tu mandir ja rahi hai!?

Shivina: ji haan

Keart: tu aur Shahneel kyun nhi chal jaate Shivi puttar k saath!

Shahneel: haan acha idea hai! Main na turant ready ho kar aati hun Shivi tu thora wait kariyo

Shivina: main wait karti hun aap jao ready ho kar aa jao fir chalte hain

Shubman: main bhi aata hun ready ho kar

Shivina: finally tujhe yaad aaya ki tujhe ready bhi hona hai ab jaldi ready ho jaa kar

I called Harry bhai informing him about us going to the temple.

After Shubman and Di came back we went to the lobby getting in the car. Shubman was on the driving seat and I am beside him, with Karan Nivi and Di on the back seat. Within 20 mins we were outside the temple.

We entered the temple with leaving our shoes in the car and buying offerings for the puja. When we went to the priest to get the prasad he said something which filled the air with awkwardness.

Priest: Bhagwan aap dono ki jodi humesha banaye rakhe 

Shivina: nhi nhi pandit ji humari shaadi nhi hui hai

Priest: hui nhi hai toh ho jayegi maa durga aap ko humesha saath rakhe 

Turning my head towards Shubman I could already see him looking at me. Instead of correcting the priest we just bowed in front of the god before leaving the temple. There was awkwardness in the air and I decided not to say anything but Shubman broke the silence.

Shubman: ab toh puja bhi ho gayi hai kuch kha le

Shivina: pure din ka fast hai

Shubman: toh kya pure din bhooke rehne ka irada hai?

Shivina: hanji

Shubman: fruits toh kha le at least!

Shivina: hotel jaa k kha lungi!

Shahneel: itni care meri toh ki nhi kabhi kya baat hai kaka?

I could feel my cheeks heating up, turning to the shades of pink. 

Shubman: di tu itni faltu baatein kahan se lati hai?

Shahneel: main faltu ki baat nhi ki maine toh sach bola bas!

After a ride of 20 mins we reached the hotel, departing to our room and as usual Shubman, Nivisha, Karan and Shahneel di came to my room with me. Upon opening the room with the key card and sliding it to the slot mounted on the wall, I could feel a pair of hands wrapping on my eyes from behind.
