(Why didn't you tell me that Sahil is Pralana's Sahil.)
Rashi narrowed her eyes at Pranati and Sakshi gasped at the information. Pranati avoided her eyes and said.
"Kya bol rhi hai? Mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa rha."
(What are you saying? I don't understand.)
Rashi glared at her and she sighed in defeat.
"Kya batati? Ki wo mere boss hai. Ki jiss insaan se mai pyaar krti hu wo mujhse nafrat krta tha."
(What would i have told. That he is my boss. That the man i love hates me.)
"What!?"
"Hmm. Unhe lgta tha that i cheated him. Sach janne ke baad he started talking normally to me. Aur ab jaake hum as friends close huye hai. He doesn't love me Rashi. I am just a friend to him. That's it. Aur ab hum iss baare mai baat nhi karenge. Please. I am trying to get over my love."
(Hmm. The thought that i cheated him. After knowing everything he started talking normally to me. And now we are close as friends. He doesn't love me Rashi. I am just a friend to him. That's it. And now we won't talk about it. Please. I am trying to get over my love.)
Rashi held her hand and gave an apologetic smile. Pranati waved it off and told her to get ready.

Vaibhav and Sahil were getting ready when Vaibhav suddenly spoke.
"Ye Pralana kaun hai?"
(Who is Pralana?)
Sahil looked at him shocked.
"Aapko kaise pta?"
(How do you know?)
"Pta hai bas. Ab tu bta."
(I just do. Now tell.)
"Long story bhai. Baad me. Abhi late ho jaayenge."
(Long story bhai. Later. We will be late.)
"Is it something related to Pranati?"
"Hmm."
"Tujhe pta hai na that she has feelings for you."
(You know she has feelings for you right.)
"What nonsense bhai. Aisa kuch nhi hai. We are just friends."
(What nonsense bhai. There's nothing like that. We are just friends.)
"Achha. Lagta toh nhi. Kaise dekhta hai tu usse. Aur wo Kushal ko kisne dara ke bhagaya tha. Bechara. Date ke liye hi toh puchh rha tha."
(Really. It doesn't seem so. How you look at her. And who scared that Kushal away. Poor guy. He was just asking for a date.)
Vaibhav tsked.
"Office mai kaam ke waqt ye harkate kar rha tha isliye daata tha. Aur kuch nhi hai."
(He was doing this during office time that's why i scolded him. Nothing else.)
"Achha. Matlab office ke bahar puchhta toh koi problem nhi thi na."
(Really. Means if he had asked outside office then it would have been fine.)
Sahil looked at him as if not expecting that. Vaibhav looked at him with a knowing smile and then started getting ready.
They picked up Rashi and Pranati and went to the venue. Vaibhav was driving and Rashi was seated in the passenger seat. They reached in about half and hour. Sahil and Pranati went somewhere else.
Vaibhav had booked a table for them in a private corner. Rashi looked at everything in awe.
"Wow! This is beautiful."
He looked at her with a small smile. Her happiness was the best achievement for him. He pulled out a seat for her. They ordered their food. They were walking around after lunch.
"According to you ek relationship mai sabse important cheez kya hoti hai?"
(According to you what is the most important thing in a relationship?)
Rashi asked.
"Trust. Bina trust ka relationship is like bina gas ke car. Usme reh toh sakte hai but it won't go anywhere."
(Trust. A relationship without trust is like a car without gas. You can stay in it but it won't go anywhere.)
She looked at him in adoration and thanked God for a partner like him. They were walking in silence when she called his name.
"Vaibhav?"
"Hmm."
"I trust you."
He stopped in his tracks and looked at her. As her words registered in his mind a smile started forming on his face. He pulled her closer and hugged her. She stilled for a moment but then slowly hugged him back. She closed her eyes relishing the moment.
"I love you."
She stilled. Her heartbeat increased. She pulled back slightly and looked at him. He was looking at her with so much love that it melted her heart.
"I know that you have just started trusting me aur iss waqt love is not possible. Par mai isse aur apne andar nhi rkh skta tha. I love you. So damn much."
(I know that you have just started trusting me and love is not possible right now. Par i couldn't hide it anymore. I love you. So damn much.)
He said pulling her more closer if possible. Her eyes started to get glassy. She hugged him tightly and hid her face in his chest.
"Thank you. For everything. Love ka toh pta nhi but i like you Vaibhav."
(Thank you. For everything. I don't know about love but I like you Vaibhav.)
He smiled and kissed her forehead. He hugged her, hiding her in his arms. His one hand on her back and the other on the back of her head.
They pulled away and started walking again.
"Dance?"
Vaibhav asked. Rashi looked at him for a moment and then nodded. He indicated someone for music and soon they started dancing.
They swayed their bodies slowly. His right hand in her left one. Her right hand on her shoulder. His left hand around her waist. Her head on his shoulder. Their chests touching. It was an intimate yet beautiful moment. Their moment was disturbed by her phone.
It was Pranati's call. Everyone at home were asking about them. Rashi told Vaibhav and dropped both of them home.
Vaibhav and Sahil were on their way back home when Sahil asked.
"Bhai? How do you know whether you are in love?"
"Hmm. Whenever you are with the person you just want the time to stop and the moment they go back you start missing them. Their presence makes you happy. Just a thought of them and a smile appears on your face. You always look forward to meeting them. And the most important you get jealous when you see them close to someone else."
He looked at Sahil who seemed to be in deep thoughts. He knew what was going on in his mind and let him be.
They reached their home and had their dinner. His cousins were there and they were playing and having fun, teasing each other.
**************************************
Rashi told Pranati and Sakshi about Vaibhav's confession and both of them squealed in happiness. They talked and played games for some time and slept at late night.
**************************************
The week went by quick and today was Vaibhav and Rashi's engagement. Everyone was getting ready. The beauticians were called at home and the ladies and Rashi were getting ready. Sakshi, Pranati and Utkarsh were taking care of everything that had to be taken. Shweta called both the girls and asked them to get ready. Utkarsh also went to dress up.
Rashi was getting her hairstyle done when her phone rang. It was Vaibhav's video call. She picked up. Adi was sitting on Vaibhav's lap.
"Hello chachi. Aap kya kal le ho?"
(Hello chachi. What are you doing?)
"Mai taiyar ho rhi hu baby. Aap kya kar rhe ho?"
(I am getting ready baby. What are you doing?)
"Mai taiyal ho gya."
(I am ready.)
"Arre wow! Aap toh bhut handsome lag rhe ho."
(Ohh wow! You look very handsome.)
Adi blushed and hid his face in Vaibhav's chest and everyone laughed at his drama including her.
