The next few days were very tiring and hectic for everyone but finally Vaibhav and Rashi were married and everyone has started to fall back in their routines.
Dhriti has manofied her parents to let her go on the farewell. At first they denied saying that they would not send her alone. But she told them that Tanvi and Abeer would also be with her.
And after talking to their parents Saroj finally agreed and Dhriti told her that she do night stay at Tanvi's house.
They knew Tanvi and her family well so she allowed her. Dhriti told this to Utkarsh and he told her that he would wait for her at the venue.
She had a weird feeling that something was going to happen on the farewell but ignored the feeling in the excitement she was feeling.
It was 6 in the evening and she was ready and waiting for Abeer to pick her up.
She got his message and went out. He was sitting in the car with Tanvi on the passenger seat. She greeted both of them excitedly and started off.
Reaching the destination Dhriti saw a very beautiful mansion. There were many small bonfires in the the garden with chairs arranged for people to sit there.
It seemed like everyone was inside. They saw Utkarsh standing near the door. Parking the car they went there. Utkarsh shook hands with Abeer and greeted Tanvi and asked them to move in.
He looked at Dhriti and she smiled at him. Her eyes widened when he took her in a hug.
"Yook look gorgeous. Stay with me. Kisi aur ke saath kahi nhi jaana except Abeer."
(Don't go anywhere with anyone except Abeer.)
He said looking at her and she couldn't describe what she felt at the moment. She was in love with him and that was sure.
She wanted to tell him.
"Utkarsh mujhe aapse-"
(I want to-)
"Arre bhai. Tu yaha kya kar rha hai tab se. Chal na andar. Ohh hii. Dhriti right?"
(What are you doing here. Come on in.)
She was about to say when one of his friends called him. She nodded as greeting.
"Haan aa rha hu. Tum kuch keh rhi thi."
(Yes i am coming. You were saying something.)
She shook her head and they went inside.
"Ye jagah kaha se mil gyi aap logo ko. This is so pretty."
(How did you find this place.)
"Hamare ek batchmate ka party mansion hai ye."
(It is one of our batchmates party mansion.)
"Wow. Kitna cool hai. Ye pura mansion aaj ke liye hamara hai?"
(This whole mansion is ours for the night?)
She asked excitedly and he nodded. They started meeting everyone. They were talking to people and having food in between. Utkarsh had his arm around Dhriti all the time keeping her beside him.
"Come on yaar guys. Yaha alag alag rehne thodi na aaye hai. Let's play something."
(We did not come here to stand separately.)
One of their friends announced. Everyone gathered around a big table. Some of them settled down. They dragged Utkarsh with them who was reluctant to leave Dhriti alone but Abeer assured him and asked him to enjoy.
"Chalo let's play truth and dare."
Said someone and Utkarsh chuckled.
"Bachhe ho kya yaar."
(Are you kids.)
"Arre kabhi kabhi bachho wale games bhi khelne chahiye. Come on. Bottle laao."
(Sometimes we should play kid's games also. Bring a bottle.)
They got the bottle and it was spinned. It landed on one of the boys and he chose dare. He was asked twerk on a song.
The game went on with every weird and wild dare you could imagine. The bottle landed on Utkarsh and he chose Truth.
"Fattu."
(Scaredy cat.)
His friends commented. One of his batchmates who had a crush on him asked.
"Who is your crush?"
His eyes moved to Dhriti. She was already looking at him waiting for his answer. His friend patted his shoulder.
"Bta de bhai. Kaun hai. Koi 'D' hai kya?"
(Tell. Who is it. Some 'D'?)
He said teasingly. Utkarsh glared at him and said.
"Aisa kuch nhi hai. I don't have a crush on anyone."
(Its nothing.)
He answered. Dhriti was beaming inside listening to his friend's statement.
Tanvi got a call from her mother so she went outside to attend it. Dhriti asked Abeer to go after her.
"Chal juthhe. Tere notebook par dekha tha maine kaise letter 'D' ko saja raha tha. Mai bta du kaun hai. Dhanya haan."
(Lier. I saw how you were decorating letter 'D'. I will tell. Dhanya huh.)
He said teasingly and his smile faltered. 'Who the hell was Dhanya?'
He looked around for Dhriti but she was nowhere. He started to get up to go look for her but his friends held him down.
They offered him some hard drinks but he denied so his friend very carefully mixed his mocktails with hard drinks. And soon he was total drunk.
On the other hand Dhriti had left for the bar counter as soon as she heard Dhanya's name. Dhanya is one of her classmates and Dhriti had never liked her.
She just sat their thinking whether all that she was feeling was one sided. All the moments they spent together was just friendship for him. Was she only crazy in love with him.
She looked at him and saw him drinking with his friends. This frustrated her more and she too started ordering drinks for herself.
Soon she too was heavily drunk and was leaning on the counter. She felt a hand around her shoulder and saw Utkarsh smiling widely at her.
She scowled at him and moved away. She started walking towards the exit gate.
He held her hand and asked.
"Kaha thi tum? Mai dhund rha tha."
(Where were you? I was looking for you.)
"Kyu? Mujhe kyu dhund rhe the? Jaake dhundiye apni Dhanya ko."
(Why? Why were you looking for me? Go find your Dhanya.)
She said irritatedly. He made a confused face.
"Kaun hai ye Dhanya aur mai isse kyu dhundu?"
(Who is this Dhanya and would i find her?)
He asked cutely.
"Kyunki wo pasand hai na aapko."
(Becaus you like her.)
She again started moving but Utkarsh pulled her back and caged her in his arms.
"Mujhe koi Dhanya vanya nhi pasand. Mujhe toh tumse pyaar hai."
(I don't like any Dhanya. I love you.)
He said kissing her cheek. She beamed at him.
"Sachhi?"
(Really?)
"Muchhi."
(Really.)
He said nuzzling her nose with his and she giggled. He kept looking at her woth love and adoration.
"I want to marry you."
He said after some time. She looked confused.
"Abhi?"
(Now?)
"Haan abhi."
(Yes now.?
"Thik hai chalo."
(Ok let's go.)
She said smiling and they walked out.
