During the Opening~

Madeeha and Humaira decided to stay away from what storms the rest of their group are bringing. 

The six looked at each other and broke away to allow thing's turning to war. Some tried to avoid contact or any communication from one another until the night was over.

However Aryanshu and Sanaya remembered what happened last time they met, Sanaya was surprised to see Aryanshu's new side when he hugged his mother. It showed her that he even has feelings and care to his close friends and family.

'Was i  wrong about him for all these years?'  Sanaya thought lowering her gaze, Sanaya left to go to the kitchen and see the counters. Some drinks were left aside for the guests, Sanaya grabbed a bottle of water, she looked around and saw Aryan coming up to her. Aryan slid down the counter to Sanaya.

Aryan: what's up *looks down and up close to Sanaya's face* Sweetheart?

Sanaya: *ignores him and drinks her water*

Aryan: arai, you aren't angry with me, why? what happened?

Sanaya: why are you concerned? and i should be asking why are you here?

Aryan: i was invited, and i wouldn't miss a party!

Sanaya: grand opening!

Aryan: same thing!

Sanaya: no its not!

Aryan: sweetheart, are you losing your knowledge to your beauty?

Sanaya: what?

Aryan: *chuckles* i mean you are so beautiful and your drinking flat water.

Sanaya: so, my choice!

Aryan: ugh, you really are a buzzkill, you know that right, sweetheart!

Aryan's left with the remark and Sanaya just plainly forgot him, 

'Wait did he just say no admit that i'm beautiful, is it weird i feel kind of funny inside?' Sanaya thought not completely forgetting his said words.

With Zainab~

Zainab talked a lot with Madeeha and Divya when she looked behind she saw Rajveer walking past, he came up to her and grabbed her hand. Rajveer pulled her away and shoved her up to the wall. 

Zainab: RSO what are you doing?

Rajveer: *confused* RSO?

Zainab: Your nickname.

Rajveer: what! anyway, do you have my phone?

Zainab: no, why would i have your phone?

Rajveer: to go through, to find anything you can use against the Oberoi family and our business empire, that how you middle class girls are!

Zainab looked hurt, she tried to not let Rajveer's word prick her feelings, prick her heart. 'How dare he say that about me? how dare he saw that i took his phone to look through, to use against him and his family, my friend!' Zainab thought.

Zainab: how could you say that? if i did take your phone i would not look through it and i definitely wouldn't use anything bad that i find in it against you or your family, Sanaya's my friend i wouldn't use the phone to insult her family.

Rajveer: oh but you would, your friendship is fake from your side, your just using her!

Zainab: no, not at all, how and why would you say that without knowing about me or what i would do.

Zainab was hurt, she felt a needle prick into her heart, she refused to break. Rajveer felt Zainab quiver a little in his arms, he saw deep into her eyes and could see the pain within. Zainab pushed Rajveer off and wiped her free tear, she hid it from Rajveer to not look weak in front of him. 

Time Skip~

The grand opening cut happened and everyone clapped, Zainab maintained her distance from Rajveer, so did Sumaira from Jai. 

Zainab looked up at the chandelier and saw the ropes, she turned to her left and saw one of the chandelier ropes being cut, a waiter had cut it. The waiter took a quick glance at Zainab and left the area. Zainab looked to see where the chandelier was positioned above on.

"Rajveer!"

The chandelier shacked, some people heard it and saw the chandelier shaking. Rajveer was busy on his phone to hear or look up at the chandelier. The chandelier became unstable, Zainab's eyes widened as she looked at both the chandelier and Rajveer.

"RAJVEER!" 

Zainab ran up to Rajveer pushing him down, Sanaya and Sumaira saw this and quickly ran grabbing the chandelier rope and pulled on it, the chandelier was heavy and the two girls were struggling to pull it up, the rope was about to slip until four other hands grabbed on to it, Sanaya looked at her left to see Aryan. Sumaira looked at her right to see Jai. Each nodded at one another and pulled on the rope raising the chandelier they tightened it and let it stay still. 

Rajveer looked up at the chandelier, his phone slipped out of his hands as he was pushed, he looked down to see Zainab on his chest. He could feel her body breathe heavily as by her running.

'She saved me, she's not just a party girl!' Rajveer thought quite surprised, Zainab looked up at Rajveer, they both looked close into each others eyes and Rajveer saw the worry of his own in her eyes. Zainab slowly started to get up but she fell back on him, she looked down at her arm, it was cut by one of the fallen chandelier shards. She touched it wincing at the slightest contact, the cut was quite big and Rajveer saw this.

Ansh saw the chandelier fall, he wondered how did it fall, he helped Zainab and Rajveer get up from the floor. He told people to not worry it was just a slip up.

Some time later~

With Jai~

Jai saw some people from work, he remembered it was the people who witnessed his announcement of Sumaira being his girlfriend. Not to mention they both were see helping to raise the chandelier.

Jai: oh no, now i have to make sure to not get their attention otherwise they'll ask why Sumaira is not with me!

The other workers saw Jai, he quickly ducked down, they were confused, they thought they just saw Jai. Jai left the place and blindly walked away. He felt a bump and saw Sumaira right in front of him.

Sumaira: you! were not supposed to bump like this, if anyone saw us together then...

Jai: then i know fellow colleagues will notice and expect us to be together.

Sumaira: exactly, what should we do?

Jai: *thinks for 10 seconds* we stick to the original plan your my girlfriend!

Sumaira: fake girlfriend *she corrected*

Jai: yeah whatever, just follow your fake duty and stick around me!

Sumaira: okay i guess.

Sumaira's eye started to wince, she felt some irritation in it, she rubbed it but she started to wince more.

Sumaira: ah, there's something in my eye!

Jai: what? let me see!

Sumaira: no you'll just make it worse.

Jai: let me help!

Jai blew on Sumaira's eyes and held her cheek, from her other eye, she could see clearly and saw Jai helping her. Sumaira looked into Jai's eyes and saw the rest of his facial features, Jai felt no more wincing from Sumaira and he felt her watching. They both looked into each others eyes and felt a spark.

Some of the people watched this and one boy even took a picture of the two, it was who worked with them at the station. Jai slowly realised is hand was still on Sumaira's cheek.

With Zainab~

Zainab bandaged her wound, it didn't cover all of the cut but it would do for the time being. She was out to get some fresh air, she inhaled closing her eyes, she felt something tighten on her mouth. She opened her eyes to see someone's hand over her mouth, she felt another hand on her waist, she was dragged out of the area struggling to escape someone's grip.
