"Now, you look perfect!" Megha squealed after fixing my hair.

It was around 6:30 pm and the birthday party starts at 7pm. I wore a simple jean and black lace crop top and was actually about to leave by 6, but then Megha stopped me and made me understand that I looked like a sick pig.

After some time, she finally picked up a dress from my cupboard. It was a Strapless Sleeveless Sequin Knee-Length Pale blue dress. It was a dress she gifted me for my last birthday. She forced me to wear that, though I had always procrastinated to wear that costume as I felt that I might look a little weird in that.

I am very bad at wearing makeup, so she chose to help me which made me suspicious on why she was so sweet to me today.

After putting on some makeup, she then curled my hair and let it down as I grabbed my fancy golden purse, and the small gift which was neatly gift wrapped , and was ready to leave for the party.

"Bye Megha!" I was about to exit my door when she called me out.

"Suha!" She whispered as I turned back.

"Thank you!"

"Huh--For what?!"

"Don't try to act, I know because of you only mum, decided to meet Rohit. Thanks for speaking to mum!"

I could see her eyes glisten, she was obviously very happy. I just gave a small smile and waved a bye.

"Bye mom!" I screamed as I entered the living room from my room.

"Bye Suha, come back soon!" Mum said with her eyes fixed on the book, and it looked like she was taking some notes.

"What are you doing mom?" I asked with a pinch of confusion as I moved closer.

"I am just writing down the dishes I have to prepare tomorrow!" She grinned.

"For what?!"

"Suha!! How can you forget?? Tomorrow Rohit and his parents are coming home to meet us. So,we need to be good hosts and make them feel comfortable."

"Uh--whatever" I sighed and booked a cab.

"Ankita, you reached?" I asked with the phone tightly pressed to my ears as I relaxed in the backseat.

"Suha tell me something---"

"Uh what Anki?"

"I look good in black or red?" Her tone reflected a bit of disappointment.

"You look good in black anki and---wait--You haven't even decided on your costume yet?" I face palmed.

"Uh--no, I was confused on what to wear that's why I called you, Anyways I will be by 8pm"

"Okay try to come soon" I sighed and disconnected the call.

I thought dealing with Vivaan would be easy if Ankita was there, but now I have no idea on how I am going to manage until she comes.

After reaching her house, I paid the cab driver and moved inside.

As usual guards were standing outside their house and hundreds of cars were parked. Of course, after all Aisha is Billionaire Vivaan's only sister, I told myself.

As I entered, I was astounded with the decorations, though I have been here to her house many times before, but today it looked so elegant and catchy. More lighting was put up.

Her house was extremely crowded. I guess more than 300 people are invited.

"Hi Suha!" I turned back and saw Aisha's mum standing there.

"Hi aunty, where is Aisha?"

"She is still getting ready suha, and some of her school friends are near the swimming pool, you can join them." She smiled and moved to welcome the next guest.

There were some games also allotted on the other side.

Oh no Suha, don't go there, that's for kids!

After controlling myself from playing with those kids, I started moving towards the pool, and on the way I also noticed a small bar behind the Living room.

They have drinks for birthday parties?!

And I spotted there, giving instructions to the Bartenders.

Oops, Look away before he spots you! As I turned away.

I immediately turned back and started moving in the same direction.

"Suhaa!" Someone shook my shoulders from behind as I jumped on the sudden contact.

"Ohh--Aisha" I relaxed on realizing it was her.

"Finally, you made to this party haan?!" She mocked me.

She was looking extremely gorgeous in the Deep Red Bodycon.

"Suha, Omg!! You look damn hot!" She squealed.

"Shhh!!" I asked her to reduce her voice as I blushed.

"Where is Ankita?" As she waved her hands to some of her friends.

"She is on her way!"

"And---Happy Birthday!!" I squealed once again, excitedly as I gave her the small gift.

"Thank you suhaaa!" She hugged and collected them.

"I will open them when i am alone!" She winked.

"Ohhokayy!" I grinned.

"Okay then, Suha, you wait here, I will talk to Shruti and come!"

Shruti is her school friend, and they are meeting after a long time so I nodded as she moved towards the pool.

"Hey!" I turned back on hearing the voice as my curled hair flipped away from my face.

Oops! Mr. Rude Vivaan is here

"H--Hey!" I stammered.

Damn!! He looks the same even after 2 years, but look at me.

"So--uhmm--How are you?!" He asked after hesitating for a minute.

"Uhmm--Yeah I am doing good!" I nodded.

"You--you look extremely gorgeous today!" His eyes widened as he shook his head like saying 'UNBELIEVABLE ' as I just nodded awkwardly.

Was I looking that bad earlier?! Who cares.

"Well--actually--I need to talk to you !" He said it in a go as he twitched his lips.

"Uh--Talk about what?" I stood still dumbstruck.

"Well--That day in the airport-----uh--I shouldn't have been rude to you. But--"

"---It's okay, you weren't into a relationship with me and you made your point clear, that's all."

"Yeah, but the way I spoke---"

"---Can we talk about something else?!" I interrupted.

"I like you Suhana"

"See---it's our--- Wait what?!" My lips parted as I had no idea what was running in his mind.

"I like you,suhana, I really really like you, all these two years in Singapore, I just couldn't take you off my mind--I just---"

"I turned towards my right and saw Ankita walking towards him with rage clearly stuck on her face.

"Anki--you--" I decided to calm her down.

She doesn't like Vivaan at all, but still she controls her anger as he is Aisha's brother.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"My friend looks like a toy to you?! Why are you playing with her emotions, sometimes you don't like her and then come after years and say you like her?!"

"Hey listen, this is between me and Suhana, I think you should---"

"--I think you should stay away from my friend and keep your mouth shut or else I will create a ruckus in this party conducted by you?!" Ankita spat her rage straight on his face.

He stomped against the floor beneath,as he moved towards my ears and whispered.

"Our conversation isn't over yet suha!" He eyed at me and paced away.

"You could have been a little polite" I shrugged my shoulders at her.

"He deserved that. He is just another jerk who is a billionaire."

"Hey" I heard another voice.

Sighed on hearing the number of 'Hi's ,Hello's and Hey's' , I was fated to hear since the minute I stepped in here, I turned back.

"If I am not wrong----Suhana right?!"

"Rohit !!"

Oh yeah, Let me introduce you all to Mr.Rohit Malhotra, who is none other than our very own Megha's fiance.

"What are you doing here?!" Though,I obviously knew the answer.

"Uh--Vivaan and ourselves are business partners so we were invited as well."

"Ourselves?!"

"Oh yeah, I meant me and my brothers. I am here with my younger cousin brother Ishaan and My elder brother, " I nodded approvingly to whatever he said.

"Ishaan!" He called out as a young charming boy in his black tuxedo came over.

"This is Suhana---Megha's Sister!" He eyed at him as Ishaan nodded with all excitement.

"Hi" I said awkwardly.

I actually hate meeting people under such circumstances.

"Well-Ishaan where is Vikram bhai?! He was here only-----" he turned his head here and there.

"Actually he got a call from the office, he will be back soon!" Ishaan interrupted.

"Ohhhh--I thought of introducing him to Suhana "

"Ohh anyways we will be meeting sooner or later right?!" I said as my lips curved into a smile.

What am I even going to do on meeting his brother!? I thought to myself when Ankita bumped her arm with mine.

"Oh yeah, this is Ankita, my friend "

"And this is Aishaaa!" As I pulled her from the crowd with all force as she bumped into Ishaan.

I know I am clumsy!

"Ohh---Sorry" She muttered to Ishaan, as she turned her gaze, and glared at me.

"Uh-it's okay! Anyways Happy Birthday" Ishaan tried his level best to ignore the awkwardness that was floating in the air.

Ohh, Nice try bro, I told myself.

"Well let me get you all something to drink!" Aisha smiled as she moved towards a waiter.
