(AN:- This chapter is about engagement party so there are going to be many PoV switches so be aware.)

Viren's POV

As we reached the venue everybody was awestruck.

As you enter through those two big oak doors a beautiful view came into sight..... The lights were low and gave almost a romantic feeling to this place and the tables were beautifully decorated with small flower bouquets and chairs all around it.

To the corner was a bar and when you enter you see a beautiful black makeshift dance floor.

"Wow... " came a voice from my side,
"These girls outdid themselves... It seems that I have never been to this place before... " mom said to which both of my aunts agreed and started gushing about it.

On the other side, my dad and uncles were appreciating the arrangements.

"Bro?! They actually did a splendid job. I mean just look at this! we have been to this place way more times than anybody can think but still today this place seems to be a new sight for us. " Aarhan said.

"Totally man. I can't wait to dance on that floor and I didn't know we were having a band performance tonight?" Shaurya asked noticing the setup behind the dance floor.

"Ya me too. " Arhaan replied.

We were still discussing it when I saw my Sister and My brother-in-law coming towards us.

After all the greetings and small talks.

We heard a scream behind us. I instantly turned around to see Riya standing there with Abhi beside her and an astonished expression on her face.

"Why did you scream? " I inquired her.

"I think we are at the wrong place," she said totally ignoring my question.

"No you are at the right place and at the right time. " came a voice from behind us.

We again shifted our stare from Riya to someone behind us.

Oh my god!! she looks hot.

Was the first thing that came into my mind when I saw that crazy girl standing in front of me in a red gown that hugged her curves.

And god does she look hot......

"Oh my god!!! Thank you! Thank you!! You guys are awesome. This place looks so good. " Riya said running past me to hug her and her two friends.

"Hey! Don't you dare cry and ruin this beautiful sight! " that crazy girl said while wiping her eyes.

"Thank you Paakhi, Aditi, and Maanya and you guys look beautiful too. " Riya said while smiling.

That crazy girl then turned to us and said... "Welcome everyone! I hope everything is to your liking.. " to which my mom and aunt hugged them and said "It's beautiful. You lived to your words and made it special for us. "

Everyone then started welcoming our guests.

So I and Shaurya decide to have a Drink before mingling with guests.
I was looking around when I saw Shaurya staring at Aditi with a curious expression.

"So? " I asked bringing his attention to me.
"What? " he said noticing my smirk.
"You and her? " I asked.
"Whom are you talking about? "he said shrugging but still glancing at her.
"The one you are staring at like a creep.," I said with a pointed expression.
He immediately averted his eyes from her and said "I don't know what you are talking about bro? .....But look I think you need to see that ." he said pointing towards Aarhan's direction.
Where I saw him standing in the middle of the hall like a fool and watching Crazy girl's other friend.
I mean he was so engrossed in eyeing her that he didn't notice Shaurya chuckling at him and flapping his hand for his attention.

What are these girls doing to my brothers..?...

Paakhi's POV

Everything was set for the party so we decided to go home and change. Thankfully my foot was better due to the medicine and a foot massage I was forced to take by Aditi after that incident earlier today.

As Riya personally invited us not as her event planners but official guests so we had to dress up according to the theme. So I wore my red sequin dress and Aditi did a smokey eye makeup for me.

We were all ready and reached the venue before everyone else and decided to go through everything one more time.

We were in back where uncle Abby and his crew were working when I heard a scream at front.

I, Adi, and Maanu rushed to the source of the scream when I saw everyone standing at the entrance and heard Riya saying "I think we are at the wrong place. "

I just laughed at that and said "No you are at the right place and at the right time. " to which she rushed towards us and hugged me and Adi then Maanu.

She was crying and seeing her happy tears I felt proud. Proud that we were able to make her happy.

Then everyone else hugged us and thanked us.

Every lady in the Singh family is beautiful and it was no doubt they look stunning in their respective gowns.

(comment and tell whose dress did you like the most... ❣️)

I was still welcoming them when I saw him with his brothers standing to the side in his black tuxedo.
And god did he look good?

Isshh... He's so handsome but when it comes to his Khadoos nature ....it is a turn-off.....

No not for me?! I mean I'm not attracted to him... Why would I be? we can't even stand each other....you know that right!

But still, you keep imagining his hands around you when he held you earlier in his arms.....

My conscience said to me.....

Ugghhh shut up Conscience not now.....

I Don't know what changed but whenever I see him now I don't feel eww but something else in my stomach... I mean I can't explain but now I can't look at him without remembering that incident from Earlier today.

Aarhan's POV

As we reached the venue, I was awestruck with the effort girls have put into, to make this simple ballroom to this romantic place that people pay fortunes for.

When I saw Maanya standing there with her friends I was mesmerized by her beauty.
I mean she looks beautiful wearing that dress.

I tried to have eye contact with her just once but couldn't.
I mean everyone was busy moving around and mingling and my brothers were another story.

Shaurya was pulling my leg again and again and Viren was looking at me with his 'I-know-everything ' look.

We were standing at the bar for a drink when we saw Paakhi going on the makeshift dance floor with a mic in her hand...

"Ummm... Good evening everyone. I hope you guys are enjoying the party and I would like to welcome each and everyone today on the behalf of Singh family. "

Everyone applauded.

"And Riya there is a small gift for you and Abhi from our side... And that is....... " she said indicating towards her back where the flash came onto the band settling with their gears on and started playing Riya's favorite song.

"Oh my god!!! SANAM. My favorite band. " Riya said happily and asked Abhi for a dance.
So Abhi hugged her and started twirling with her.

I saw Maanya a few feet away from me and decided to ask her for a dance.

I took a deep breath and started walking towards her when I saw some of our business affiliates asking three of them for a dance.

First girls refused but then Pallavi Di encouraged them and asked them to dance.

So I retreated back towards my brothers and scrutinized them from afar.

I was watching them like a hawk and saw those guys slowly inching towards girls.

I looked at my brothers and said "Is it just me? Or do you guys also want to punch them? "

"So what are we waiting for?" Viren announced while walking towards Paakhi.

Hmmm ..... I never said him to go to Paakhi?!

I mumbled when I noticed him going towards her and Shaurya going towards Aditi.

So I too walked towards Maanya and patted on the guy's shoulder and said "May I cut in!? " before he could object I pulled her hand into mine and my other hand went to hold her slim waist.

"Umm hi," She said to me with a blush on her cheeks.

"Hi! So how are you? " I said to her and pulled her more towards me.

To which she just blushed more and I laughed at that and said "You look beautiful and that blush suits you "

"Umm thank you," she said turning redder and I felt proud of the blush that crept even higher up her skin on the compliment.

I love holding her in my arms. Whenever I see in her eyes I see my world.

I see my happiness.

Third-person POV

When Viren saw Paakhi dancing with one of their associates he couldn't control the feeling that erupted in his heart.

It was a foreign feeling for him. So when Aarhan said about punching that guy he couldn't control himself and went directly towards Paakhi.

Paakhi was not at all enjoying the dance because the guy (Ram) she was dancing with was only talking about himself.

So when she saw Ram's eyes going wide and him retreating back.
She turned to see Viren walking towards her with long powerful strides.

Before she could say anything he took her hand and started dancing.

Paakhi liked the feeling of being in his arms.

They didn't say anything to each other but just swayed together to the beats of the song.

Viren didn't say anything to her but tightened his hold on her and prayed that song never ends.

They just looked at each other without saying anything as if their eyes were talking to each other and words were never needed.

On the other hand, when Shaurya approached Aditi for a dance she pulled her wall up and forced her heart to stop beating erratically.

"May I have this dance? " Shaurya asked her.
"Please I love my feet and would like to have them for the rest of the party," she said sassily.

Shaurya didn't say anything but he pulled her towards him and whispered in her ear.. "you mean I can't dance? "

His close proximity caused Aditi to shiver and noticing that Shaurya smirked and again moved towards her ear but instead of Saying anything he just kissed her earlobe then behind her ear.

Aditi was thankful that Shaurya had a firm grip on her otherwise she would have lost her balance and fall down.

"Stop?! Please... " Aditi mumbled.

She herself was confused... that does she even want him to stop?
This attraction is taking a toll on her and she can't sleep at night.

So she decided to finish this for all and whispered "Meet me at the front in 5 minutes. " and just to see his reaction.
She too pushed herself up and kissed his jaw.

To which Shaurya instantly closed his eyes.

Aditi smirked at that and pulled back from his arms.

Both of them were thankful for the dim light and away from the prying eyes of the guests.

Aditi went into the kitchen to see uncle Abby and informed him that she has an important call to attend and therefore she is going outside for a few minutes.

She escaped the hall and went towards the doors.
She waited for 8 minutes but didn't see Shaurya anywhere.

But she didn't know that it was difficult for Shaurya to leave the party where each step he took someone halts him for a chat.

Shaurya was getting agitated each second and when he finally exited the hall he dashed towards the front to see Aditi turning around and moving toward him.

When she saw him reaching towards her she involuntary smiled.

Seeing her smile, The need to take her became four times more. So he didn't say anything but just took her hand and moved towards the private elevator.

Aditi didn't say anything but just followed him.
Her body was hot in anticipation.

When the doors to the elevator opened. Shaurya pulled Aditi inside and waited for doors to close by pressing the Roof button.

As the doors closed Shaurya didn't wait for anything and pushed Aditi on the wall and Before she knows it, he's got both of her hands in his viselike grip above her head, and he's pinning her to the wall using his lips . . . His other hand grabs her hair and yanks down, bringing her face up, and his lips are on hers . . . Her tongue tentatively strokes his and joins his in a slow, erotic dance . . . His erection is against her belly.

Both were lost in the ecstasy of their touch and passion.
Everything was happening between them on its own.

The world outside didn't matter to them. They were both feeling things that both of them were afraid to realize.

But that night they didn't just have sex but made love.
It didn't matter it was in an elevator.
After their passion subsided a little, Shaurya felt his phone ringing in his pocket. And saw his brothers asking his whereabouts.

When he noticed Adi getting dressed.
He too dressed and took her to the washroom on the office floor and there she adjusted her dress and hair.

Adi was still combing her hair when she noticed Small hickey just below her ear.

She immediately exited the restroom and marched over to Shaurya.
"You idiot! What is this? " she said pointing towards her hickey.

To which Shaurya just smirked and said "Now all those fools will know that they don't have any chance with you. "

"Really? And why is it so important to you? " Adi said with irritation.

"I don't know but it is," he said shrugging.

"Listen jerk. I don't do relationships. " Adi said matter of factly.

To which Shaurya just pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

"Okay. Got it," he said while holding her hand and waiting for the elevator.

Adi was still basking in the memories of things that just happened a few minutes ago.

Both of them didn't say anything but just entered the hall one after the other.
