chapter 48

Avinash walked towards the villa while Anshika made her way to meet Siya. In a while Avinash and Ruhan bumped against each other."Long time it seems!" The guys shook hands and hugged."Yes long time making mistakes and stuff.""Mistake? Oh the reason why Anshika was angry with you?""Ah yes." Ruhan said scratching his head."What happened between you people?""Long story. But if I tell you in short it is about me being a villain in my own love life.""Oh wow! It needs a more elaborate conversation."Ruhan laughed."Yeah, we might talk sometime later.""I know, Anshika must be waiting for you. So you should go to her. I'll just get myself a drink.""Yeah, sure."Ruhan left to look for Anshika while Avinash went to get himself a drink. With the corner of his eyes he looked both at Ruhan and Anshika.Anshika went to Siya and sat beside her."Where have you been? You remember right we've to slay tonight?""Yes of course. Where's Adi?""He's coming. You say where were you?""Oh we were just planning something to make your wedding grand."Ruhan said hopping onto the chair facing the girls."Really so?" Siya said."Yes of course!"Siya looked at Anshika confused."Yeah, worry not.""You guys patched up already?""What? No! It's just for your wedding."Anshika said looking at Ruhan as her lips conversed with Siya and mind with Ruhan.Aditya walked in just then glad to find Ruhan sitting along with them."So you returned to us finally it seems.""Yes of course. How long can I stay without you people?""Do you by any chance mean Anshika by 'people'?"Siya laughed at the comment while Anshika blushed and Ruhan got hold of Anshika's palm."Yes her too."He said looking intensely into her eyes."Let the party begin!" Ruhan said getting up and addressing the crowd.The attention was diverted towards Ruhan as he pulled Anshika onto the centre and swirled her in the moves. She tossed herself along with him on the dance floor.She held Ruhan by his neck with one hand as he wrapped his arms around her waist, the free hand of Anshika was pulled from behind. The out of turn move made her loose balance as the grip tightly pulled her closer. She found herself in Avinash's arms. With questioning eyes Anshika looked at Avinash as he lowered his face to come close to her."Just for your promise Anshika. I can't let your promise break."Anshika still had doubtful eyes and a crowd of guests stared at them."You promised a dance with me. So here, let's not break your promise and make a wonderful night!"Ruhan pulled Anshika again as Avinash moved along with their moves with Anshika being at the centre. The music was loud and confusion crawled upon Anshika. She didn't know how to react got into her role. The dance ended with both Ruhan and Avinash holding her up."You dance so well Anshika!" Avinash said panting after the dance."Thank You! Seems you like to keep up to promises.""Yes why not? I hope you didn't mind I danced with you?""No we didn't." Ruhan said."Yes in fact I think the crowd got attracted because of you!""Oh do I deserve so many compliments?""Let's get to dine!"Ruhan, Anshika, Avinash, Siya and Aditya gathered together in for the dinner party. All of them laughed together and talked of old times and childhood memories."So it's your Big Day tomorrow?" Avinash said to Aditya."Yeah it is!" Aditya said holding on to Siya's  hand.Ruhan secretly slid his hands into Anshika's which ran chills down her.After everyone went to their respective rooms Ruhan sat with Anshika in the garden."Tomorrow Adi and Siya are getting married." He said to her."Yes, they've made it to this! I'm so happy for them!""Yeah, they did make it very big."They looked at each other for a while."It seems you're thinking something." Anshika said looking at Ruhan."Yes I'm.""What is it?"Ruhan got hold of her palm and pulled her closer as he planted a gentle kiss on it.Anshika returned a smile. Ruhan got up and hugged her tight while she reciprocated it.
