It had been a week since her show and Utkarsh had still not told her about the surprise he was talking about. She had whined, pleaded and even bribed him but in vain.

Right now they were accompanying Adarsh and Sakshi for their shopping and do their chhutput shopping.
*Ye kabhi puri nhi hoti 

The Singhanias were here and were waiting for Sakshi, Dhruv and Yug to arrive. Dhriti was messaging Utkarsh. He had not been attending her calls since morning.

She heard Adarsh greet someone and saw Sakshi along with Dhruv and Yug. Thry greeted each other. Just then Dhriti's eyes went towards the entrance and her eyes widened.

'Has she started hallucinating? Is he really here or has she finally gone mad?'

She thought and continued to look at him wide eyed. He winked at her and hugged her sisters and brothers-in-law. He stood in front of her trying hard to control his laugh which was on the verge of escaping looking at her wide eyes and open mouth.

"Hii."

He said still trying to hold back. She blinked several times.

"H-hii."

He pursed his lips and controlled himself not to pinch her cheeks at how cute she looked.

They started moving towards the shop they wanted to do the shopping from. Utkarsh asked them to move ahead saying that he would join them in a moment. Pranati raised her eyebrows at him and he showed his pinky finger indicating that he wanted to use the washroom.

He looked at Dhriti for a moment and then sauntered away. She turned towards everyone realising his action.

"Umm- bhabhi?"

Pranati turned around.

"Wo aap log chalo mai na pehle nailpaints dekh kr aati hu."

(You guys continue i first want some nailpaints.)

"Thik hai. Yahi par milna."

(Ok. Meet us here only.)

Dhriti nodded and quickly went behind Utkarsh. He turned to a secluded corner and she went behind him biting her lip. She reached near the corner and saw him leaning on a wall with a smirk on his face.

She stood in front of him and he held her hand and pulled her into him.

"Surprise!"

He whispered near her face. She smiled and cupped his face. Their lips met in a slow and passionate kiss. She moaned when he skillfully plunged his tongue in her mouth. He pulled her close by snaking an arm around her waist and her arms went behind his neck. He caressed her face with one hand and tilted her face more to deepen the kiss.

They were meeting after almost an year and she couldn't describe what she was feeling right now. They pulled back and joined their foreheads breathing heavily.

"I missed you so much."

Both of them said together and smiled. He pecked her lips in between and she kept her head on his chest and hugged him tight.

He kissed her head and kept his chin on top of it. They stayed like that for some time.

"I think hume chalna chahiye. Isse pehle wo log hume dhundte huye yaha aa jaaye."

(I think we should move. Before everyone comes searching for us.)

He chuckled and they moved out from there. Utkarsh went in first and Dhriti went after taking some nailpaints so that no one questions her.

They did their shopping, had their dinner and left for their homes.

**************************************

It was almost midnight and Dhriti was chatting with Utkarsh.

They talked for some time and then Dhriti slept with a smile on her face. He was going to stay for a month and she was very happy.

**************************************

Time passed by quicker than Dhriti had imagined and Sakshi and Adarsh were married now. Utkarsh would go back in two weeks. Dhriti was thinking of ways to spend time with him but her work was not allowing her to.

She had already taken a lot of leaves for the wedding and could not afford another day off.

She was in her office and was just winding up the work. One of her colleagues came to her to ask how she was going and she said that she would book a cab.

"Come on yaar. I'll drop you."

He said. Dhriti didn't want to go with him.

"Nhi. Its fine. Tumhe ulta rasta padega."

(No. It will be a completely different route for you.)

"Arre its fine. Come on."

She reluctantly followed. She stepped out of the building and a smile formed on her lips.

There he was, leaning against his car, wearing his casuals. Looking hot as hell.

Her colleague was asking her something and when she didn't reply he looked at her and followed her line of sight. He frowned looking at the man.

Dhriti went near Utkarsh still smiling widely.

"Aap yaha kaise?"

(How are you here?)

"Maine socha kyu na tumhe date par le jaaya jaaye."

(I thought why not to take you on a date.)

He teased her and she smiled more.

"Toh wait kis cheez ka hai?"

(Then what are you waiting for?)

He smiled and was about to say something when they were interrupted.

"Dhriti. Come on let's go."

He said looking at Utkarsh distastefully. Utkarsh looked at her confused.

"Umm-Pranav you should carry on i have some plans."

Dhriti said looking at Utkarsh.

"Are you sure?"

He asked once again. Utkarsh not liking the way he was looking at Dhriti pulled her closer and round his arm around her waist and said sweetly.

"Absolutely. You can leave."

He seemed to have understood and left immediately. They sat in the car and started off to their destination. Utkarsh's mood was spoiled.

"He likes you."

He gritted out after some time.

"I know. Issi ne shaadi ke liye propose kiya tha. Mazak mai tha but i know it was real from his side."

(He was the one who proposed. It was a joke but i know it was real for him )

She said lowly. He clenched his fists around the steering wheel. They reached the restaurant but none of them moved out.

Dhriti turned to him and pulled him closer by his collar. She gave him a passionate kiss on his lips. Before he could deepen the kiss she pulled back.

"Let's forget about what happened and focus on our date. Mai nhi chahti hum kisi nobody ke liye apna mood off kre."

(I don't want us to ruin our mood for a nobody.)

He smiled and gave a chaste kiss on her lips and they proceded to their date.
