Nitya's POV:

Doorbell started to ring and my lips curled up into a smile as I wore my earrings. It's 7pm, and he is here. "Nitya, Sameer is here." I heard my mom's faint voice and started wearing my heels.

I wore a satin mermaid dusty blue dress. It perfectly fit the curves of my body and the elegant look flawlessly enhanced my beauty even more.

I opened the door of my room and made my way downstairs. My eyes found my man and he looked absolutely stunning in his navy blue blazer paired with white shirt and navy blue pants.

Nitya & Sameer's outfit

He moved his gaze from my mom and settled on me. I felt him taking a sharp breath which only widened my smile. "Here she is!" Mom turned as she heard my heels clicking on the floor.

We told our parents about us and I never imagined they would be so happy. Sameer's mom was already discussing our wedding as if it was going to happen just right now.

"My girl is looking beautiful as always." She pecked my forehead and I passed a warm smile. "Go and enjoy your big day. Again congratulations to both of you on the success of your music video." She passed my hand to Sameer which he gently held in his palm.

"Bye Mom we are leaving now." We both bid bye to mom and walked toward his car.

He stopped me by grabbing my wrist just when I was about to open the car's door. I looked up at him from my wrist, his eyes were glowing along with a beautiful smile dancing on his lips.

"You are looking like a dream today." I blinked with my cheeks heating up at his words.

"I should check if you are real or not right?" He came closer and my steps went back. My back hit his car and he placed both of his hands on the car, caging me.

I closed my eyes as he moved closer, I felt his lips on mine as he slowly kissed me. He was careful enough to not smudge my lipstick. "You taste like a fresh breeze as always so it confirms you are not a dream but my beautiful reality."

"Look at you being all romantic. I hope you didn't smudge my lipstick. We still have a party to attend." I snacked my arms around his neck and he smiled.

"No I didn't but... I can't promise I won't." He teased and traced his thumb over my cheeks gently. I opened my mouth to reply but he beat me to it.

"I am sure you will take care of it like you were able to hide my marks on your neck." His gaze moved to my neck where he left his marks the other day.

"All thanks to my foundation and now I think we should go or else we will be late." I pushed him away a little and heard a low chuckle from him before he opened the door for me.

We reached the venue in 1 hour as it was on the outskirts of the city. Ishan told us it was a small party at his farmhouse, just the team members and his close friends were invited.

As we entered the main entrance an attendee opened the door for Sameer and then the attendee moved to open the door for me but he stopped him.

"Let me be the gentleman" he opened the door, forwarding his hand. A heartwarming smile was shining on his face and I slipped my hand in his.

"I like you even more today." I stepped down from the car and he helped me fix my dress as I wore heels.

"Shall we?" He offered his right arm and I linked mine loosely with a small nod.

We entered together hand in hand and people's gaze moved to us. Not many people knew that we were dating except a few close ones. They only thought we were here as the lead roles of the music video.

Even though the party was relatively small but the few invited people held big status, Ishan's friends included directors, producers, actors, musicians and even influencers.

The front garden was so huge that everything settled in it perfectly. The whole place was decorated with outdoor lanterns, festoon lights and balloon lamps. Musicians were playing soft music on stage, round tables were placed for people to sit and enjoy.

A small space was left between the stage and tables, maybe for dancing. Servers were serving drinks to the people and there was also a small bar at the corner. A food buffet was set on the opposite side of the stage.

Few eyes scanned us from head to toe which made me a little self-conscious. I have been to a lot of parties before but I was never the center of attention so today was a little different.

I felt his hand on the small of my back, my head turned toward him and he blinked reassuring me. He might have sensed my uneasiness. I smiled, taking a small breath of confidence.

"You guys are finally here and you both look absolutely lovely together." Ishan came as he saw us entering. He uttered his last sentence in a low voice only for us to hear.

There was no press or media present as it was not allowed for them to come. We both smiled at his words and met other people. Rishi, Priya, Karan, Kirti, Ahan and Tanya all were already there.

Mahi and Kabir were still not here. I wonder if she would be able to get ready without spoiling her mood. She doesn't like when it takes a lot of time to get ready, I hope Aparna aunty will help her.

My eyes moved to people around again, some were enjoying their drinks, some were having chats and few were still looking at us. The slow music mixed with the fainted sound of people's chatter.

"As I said, you look stunningly beautiful, cupcake." He caressed my arm soothingly. His warm touch was enough to send comfort to my beating heart.

"And you are looking so charming today that I can't stop admiring you." I slowly whispered looking into his eyes.

"What can I say, standing beside my gorgeous girl adds to my charm effortlessly." He said without blinking. His words tingled my skin and I miserably failed at hiding my flushed cheeks.

My lips parted to take a small breath as suddenly the surroundings felt hotter than before.

"Don't do that cupcake, it's tempting but I can't do anything here." He tucked a hair strand behind my ear and whispered something which almost snatched my breath away.

"Wait until the party ends. I am all ready to ruin that perfect lipstick of yours." My chest heaved and a fire ignited within me.

"Why are both of you still here? The stage is all yours and people are waiting for the stars of the night!" Ishan came and gestured us toward the stage.

"May I?" Sameer held his hand for me to take.

"I would love to" I placed my hand in his and he led us to the stage.

'Dekha Hazaron Dafa Apko' started to play and we moved our bodies in rhythm. Rishi and Priya joined us along with Kirti and Karan.

Everything faded as we were lost in each other's eyes. There was just me, him, music and the beautiful night.

----------------------------------------

Mahi's POV:

A soft knock was heard on my door as I looked at myself for the last time in the mirror. I wore the same dress Kabir bought for me with the small diamond earrings that aunty gave me.

Aparna aunty helped me get ready, she kept the makeup light and minimal. My hair open with their natural bounce. I have never seen me look this elegant and classy, it was as if the person I am looking at is not me.

A knock was again heard, a little louder this time. I turned and went to open the door. Kabir was standing in front of me in his all black slim fit suit, looking perfectly dashing and..... HOT!

His first two buttons were undone and the fabric perfectly covered his biceps and broad shoulders. My eyes went to his torso and then to his long legs. Scanning him from head to toe.

Mahi and Kabir's outfits

Calm down Mahi okay, Just calm down.

I heard him taking a harsh breath, my gaze moved back to his eyes. My heart accelerated when his eyes stared back at me with double intensity. He looked at me as if he could see through me and my soul.

He rubbed his palm across his face and again lifted his eyes to meet mine. He exhaled a long breath before saying "Itni khoobsurat lagogi to kasam se bata raha hu aise hi pagal ho jaunga."

(if you will look this beautiful, I am telling you, I swear I will go crazy like this.)

Heat crept my body hearing his words. He took a step forward but I remained rotted to my position for some unknown reason. His hand went to my waist and an audible gasp left my lips when he pulled me closer with a sudden jerk.

My hands landed on his chest, our nose brushed and breaths mingled. "You planned to make me go crazy and you succeeded." He brushed his lips against mine.

My breath was stuck somewhere between my lungs. His other hand cupped my cheek gently, "I am not lying if I say that these brown eyes and crimson red cheeks can make me go insane in a second and knowing that you are mine feels like I have conquered the world."

"You don't even know what you do to me, dolphin." He rested his forehead against mine and closed his eyes. We stayed like that for a minute. My heart, which was beating like a drum, calmed down and warmth engulfed me.

He rubbed his thumb pad over my cheek soothingly. My hands went to his back and I pulled him in a tight hug. My head rested on his chest, hearing his light heart beats. He slowly stroked my hair and kissed them lightly.

"As much as I want to stay like this, we are getting late. Ishan won't stop calling me." I loosened my grip and pulled back. He smiled looking at me and kissed my forehead lovingly.

"Ah wait." His hand moved to my eyes. He touched his ring finger lightly to the corner of my eye and placed his finger behind my ear.

"Sab tumhe dekhega Nazar lag gai to? Ab Isse nahi lagegi." He withdrew his hand and I couldn't stop myself. I tiptoed and cupped his face. I placed my lips on his lightly and pulled back after a few seconds.

(Everyone will look at you. What if an evil eye catches you? This will keep it off.)

"Don't make it hard for me Mahi, let's go" He took my hand in his and we left the room. I lightly chuckled to which he said, "You are enjoying this right? Wait until I have you alone all by myself." His words seemed dead serious and I ignored the shivering feeling they sent to my body.

We reached there after a long ride. Thanks to the heavens there was no media present. People don't know that I live in Kabir's house as he took better care of it from the start. If by any means the media gets this news god knows what rumors they will spread let alone the fact that we are dating.

I maintained a safe distance to Kabir as we entered. He furrowed at first but obliged later. There might not be paparazzi here but people have mouths and a small thing can also create huge problem.

The entertainment industry is not all about fame and money, Like every other field it has its own dark side. People might work hard for years but it takes just one news to tarnish the years of effort in just one night.

Now I am also a part of this industry and I need to be careful or else I will be doomed even before my career starts. About me and Kabir dating people will know about us eventually but we will try hiding it as long as we can.

There are a lot of people just waiting for one chance so they can go against him and I have known this much in the past 5 months I have stayed with him. He protects me every time and I will do the same.

We entered and were welcomed by none other than The Shreya Mishra. She almost jumped on Kabir when she saw us coming. I was fine with her behavior before but now she is getting too close to my boyfriend which I don't like even a slightest bit.

Kabir almost pushed her away but Shreya being herself won't stop. "Even though paparazzi are not here Shreya, you should maintain the classy image of yourself. I am sure people here would admire that more." She narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to say something but I walked past her.

I met my friends and talked to them when Kabir came back after meeting his friends. "You seemed jealous earlier." He slowly whispered.

"I don't think I need to be jealous when I know that you are already mine." I said looking at Shreya's direction who was talking to someone but never left a chance to glance our way.

"Woah I like my girlfriend's protective version more. She is bold." I turned my head toward him. His signature smirk made him look even more hot and then I realized what I said earlier.

I instantly looked away to hide my face. My mouth would speak its thoughts out loud these days. I heard his laugh before he held his hand for me.

"Would my girl like to dance with me?" He asked slowly with a small smile. I nodded and was about to put my hand in his when I heard someone calling my name.

The voice seemed familiar and I turned to look at the person. "What are you doing here?" I heard myself asking.
