[DHRUV]When his eyes opened, Dhruv feared he had slept through the afternoon. The watch on his wrist, however, displayed the time to be ten o’clock. He closed his eyes, breathing in deeply before deciding to begin his day. His body was still trying to adapt to the change. It took most of the night to fall asleep, causing him to wake up much later than he intended to. Alarms had never worked for him, so he did not bother setting them up now either. Standing up on his feet, he wandered around, taking in the emptiness of his room. A bed and a wardrobe were the only pieces of furniture inside. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done, he noted to himself. Dhruv had his old friends from Mumbai hunt for some bungalows while he was still wrapping things up in the U.S. The one he had ended up buying was perfect for him—just as he had pictured.However, everything had been done in haste and there was no housewarming ceremony which aggravated his mother, who was mad in the first place be

Sucking in a deep breath, Shanaya took another peek out the window. Dhruv still stood leaning against his car, dashing in a white shirt. While it made no sense to her, Dhruv wearing white clothes was a sight that had always appealed to her. She recalled a white hoodie he once owned that had ended up being hers. He occasionally looked up toward her window, but she was sure he couldn’t see her. Even though he had been standing there for fifteen minutes, Shanaya still wanted to keep him waiting. She removed the glistening bracelet from her wrist and placed it back into the velvet box. A moment later, Shaheer knocked on her cabin door. “Ms. Arora, I’m leaving for lunch. Are you sure you won’t be joining us today?” he asked solemnly, his hands clasped together. “Absolutely,” she replied without missing a beat, grabbed her handbag, and walked around the oval table. Turning around briefly, she glanced across the room. “Ah, Shaheer. Could you please find a nice vase to place those tu

“What a pleasant surprise it is meeting you here!” he expressed, his smile widening even more. Shanaya lied, maintaining her fake grin, “Likewise.”“You look very beautiful today.”“Thank you so much,” she said. Her cheeks were starting to ache. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't come up with a polite way to dismiss him. “Are you here all by yourself?” he asked, his eyebrows rising in curiosity. In addition to his voice, Shanaya hated the intrusiveness he exhibited, making her want to get rid of him immediately. Sighing loudly, she replied, “Oh, no. I’m here with a client. Business deal discussion.”“Should’ve expected that. Your grandmother admires your working attitude.”“Does she? I did not expect that.” She chuckled. “Raunak, I think I should go. Keeping your clients waiting too long is not a good work ethic.”“Right. So silly of me to keep you here.” He moved to the side, freeing her path. Shanaya sighed in relief, walking with quick strides. But when she reached her tabl

“Shanaya, I think that’s quite enough. We should leave now,” Kabir tried to communicate over the loud music playing in the club. “You’re already too drunk,” he said, stating the obvious. Noor, his wife, stood beside him, shifting on her feet every few seconds as she glanced around. She wore a crimson dress that fitted her figure beautifully. Her dark brown hair fell in loose curls around her shoulders. She was breath-taking in every sense; she only lacked the confidence. While Noor said nothing, the look on her soft round face conveyed all her concern. Grabbing her arm, Kabir yelled, “Shanaya, let's go!” “Stop screaming in my ears,” Shanaya yelled back at him and then chuckled, swaying her body along the rhythm. This song was really getting her into the mood of dancing. If only her supposed best friend would let her do as she pleased. “I’m only pretending. I’m not really that drunk. Yet,” she emphasized. “I’m not leaving until I see two Kabirs standing in front of me.” Turning t

As the sun started to set, orange and crimson tones began to fill the open sky. Suhala shifted the folds of her pale blue saree once more before clearing her voice. It was difficult to ignore her impatience. Shanaya pulled out her cell phone once again, dialling Ahail’s number. He did not bother picking up this time either. Sighing, she looked at her grandmother who was watching her intently. “When is he coming?” Suhala asked, her voice coarse like sand. “He said he would come.” “I don’t understand why we’re wasting our time here,” Aruna, Neil’s mother, remarked. Folding her arms, she continued, “He never comes to any such events. Let’s just leave, Harish. I don’t want to be late to my son’s art exhibition. It’s an important day for him.” “You’re right, Aruna,” Suhala agreed, fixing her daunting eyes on the woman. “It is indeed an important day for Neil, which is why he asked all of us to be present. Together. As a family.” Aruna had the audacity to scoff, bearing a look on her fa

[DHRUV]The incessant noise of honking cars and flashing red lights was starting to give Dhruv a headache. But he was not the type of man who would lose his temper over something as petty as traffic. However, he was definitely the man to make a grand late entry to any event. No mattered how much Dhruv tried, he knew he would not be able to evade being the centre of attention that night. If only he could enjoy the allure of art without any random people wanting to strike a conversation with him…This was not going to be concerning, if things had been the way they were a decade ago. Dhruv was—as much as he hated to admit—the nerd, devoid of any charm. He was awkward. A fork could hold soup better than he could hold a conversation back then. And all of a sudden everything had changed. He had made the hard decision to move to a different country in pursuit of his dreams, leaving everything behind. Fast forward to that day, he had become the Dhruv Kapoor, a sensation. A living legend. A

Shanaya felt betrayed by her own eyes. They wandered of their own accord in an attempt to steal another glance at Dhruv. Their gazes met. Not once, not twice, but three times!She knew she was fidgeting, her words fumbling. Her gaze was unsteady, and her mind was distracted during each conversation. She was aware that it was a dangerous thing. With her family so close, she could not afford to reveal that she had already met Dhruv before; no one could know they had made any attempts at reconciliation. Is that what it was? she asked herself. Reconciliation?The feud between Aroras and Kapoors was common talk a decade ago—it had directly affected the families that depended on their business partnership. People had their speculations. There were several rumors floating about, and while the matter had been resolved publicly, the fire still burned deep inside their hearts. Suhala yawned, her watery eyes coming back to Shanaya’s face. “We should leave now. I’m feeling tired.” She appeared

The revelation had numbed Shanaya’s senses. Since she had looked into Neil’s eyes, her mind had barely registered anything she was doing right until his car had halted outside a restaurant. Sometimes during the drive earlier, it had started raining. The windows had turned hazy, cutting off her view of the world outside. Her mind was in a similar state—unsure of how to respond to the news of Neil wanting to get married to Kirti. “We’re here,” Neil said, nudging her arm lightly. Without a word, she stepped out and walked inside. Shanaya sensed their collective gazes burning holes into her back but pretended to not notice. A few more minutes passed. Shanaya knew of the awkwardness she was making the couple feel, and yet she could not bring herself to act normally. This is not normal, she thought to herself. Suhala would never agree to this. Dhruv decided to break the silence with his cool voice. “Well, this is interesting,” he commented, his teasing eyes glued to her face. “Neil
