Prisha was lost in her own thoughts, her mind wandering amidst the chaos of the evening, when suddenly she felt someone’s presence behind her. A hand brushed against her hair, the touch sending a shiver down her spine. Startled, she turned around in a hurry only to find Raunak Malhotra standing there with a smug smirk on his face.

(Raunak… you?)

His smirk only deepened as he leaned slightly closer. “Kyun, nahi ho sakta kya main?”

(Why, can’t I be here?)

Her voice turned sharp, anger flickering in her eyes. “Bilkul bhi nahi… tumhari himmat kaise hui yahan aane ki? Uss din ki beizzati tumhe pasand nahi aayi kya?”
