At the event,

The sunset filled the entire sky with a deep colour of rubies, setting the clouds ablaze. A hot, handsome muscular man with a wary expression was found to be striding towards the auditorium. It was a massive hall surrounded with many radiant, carefree and appealing faces. A smile touched the corners of his mouth and played in the laugh lines beside his eyes.

Shiva: Kafi acha arrangement kiya hai Mr. Sharma!

On seeing Shiva, Mr Sharma approached to greet him.

Mr. Sharma : Welcome Mr. Pandya. It's wonderful to see you at my event.

Shiva: Thank you

Mr. Sharma : Make yourself comfortable. Abhi workshop starts ho jayega.

Shiva: Sure.

A young girl with rosy cheeks and plump lips was standing nervously near the crowd. Her dreamy eyes were fixed on the huge, vibrant decorations of the hall. She thought to meet the host and stepped forward but suddenly her legs got twisted and she straightaway bumped on a wall. Wait, it's a hard chest. The intruder wrapped his arms around her waist to prevent her from falling. She looked up to see a man staring at her with a frown. For a moment, she got lost in his deep , hazel, silver lighting eyes and warm arms.

Raavi : Aap! Aap yaha kya kar rahi ho? Mera picha to nhi kar rahi! Aapko aapka wo showpiece bhi to mil gaya, aur kya chahiye?

Shiva : Uff, kitni bolti ho tum, main invited hu yaha, par mujhe to tum par shak ho raha hai, tum kya kar rahi ho yaha pe?

" Raavi hi to music workshop karegi"

Shivi looked up to find Mr.Sharma grinning.

Mr. Sharma: Raavi, meet Shiva Pandya, Pandya industries ka owner. Shiva mera bahut special client aur dost hai. Aaj ka special guest bhi hai.

Glancing at Shiva, he further said,

" How is your family?, Aapka wife kaisi hai? Aab to junior pandya bhi aa jayenge."

Shiva nodded with a smile and answered his questions.

Raavi : Hello Sir. Welcome to our event.

Shiva: Hi, thank you. Waise Mr. Sharma, aapka employee ko thora tamiz to sikhaye, guest ke sath kaise pesh aate hai shayad nahi pata inhe.

Mr. Sharma glared at Raavi and apologized to Shiva on her behalf.

Raavi (in mind) : kitna badtameez aadmi hai, jo bhi ho, achhe se pesh to ana hoga, nhi to principal madam meri gardaan kaat legi.

Raavi found her few colleagues too in the hall. She went to chat with them.

Riya : Kitna hot hai wo ladka, sab dekha, kaise tu uske baahon mein gir gayi thi. Kash teri jagah main hoti.

Raavi : Ae apni ghora ko thora shant kar. Shadi shuda hai, aise line mat mar.

Riya : Tu to aise bol rahi hai jaise ki tera pati hai, crush to aa hi sakti hai, main kaha usse shadi karne ja rahi hoon.

Raavi sighed and stated: Tu kabhi nahi sudhregi.

Everyone was pleased with Raavi's musical workshop. The minute she started singing, the host and the audience were stunned. Shiva also liked her performance. A girl requested her to sing a different song but unfortunately she didn't remember the whole lyrics. She somehow started singing the song,

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas

Tum Rehti Ho

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas

Tum Rehti Ho

Jeevan Meethi Pyaas

Yeh Kehti Ho

Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas

Tum Rehti Ho

Har Shyam Aankhon Par

Tera Aanchal Lehraaye

Har Raat Yaadon Ki

Baarat Le Aaye

Suddenly, she stopped. She had forgotten the rest of the lyrics.While that could have made a disastrous moment for her, someone saved the day. He was quick to catch the lyrics without missing a beat and with a huge grin on his face. After all, Shiva Pandya was one of the best singers during his college days.

Mein Saans Leta Hoon

Teri Khushboo Aati Hai

Ek Mehka Mehka Sa

Paigham Laati Hai

Meri dil ki dhadkan bhi

Tere geet gaati hai

Shiva assured Raavi with a smile and she joined him.

Pal-pal dil ke paas tum rehti ho

Shiva : Kal tujhko dekhaa tha maine apne aangan mein

Jaise keh rahee thi tum "mujhe baandh lo bandhan mein"

Raavi : Ye kaisaa rishtaa hai? ye kaise sapne hain?

Begaane ho kar bhi kyun lagte apne hain?

Main soch mein rehti hoon, dar-dar ke kehti hoon

Shivi : Pal-pal dil ke paas tum rehti ho

Like this, they completed the song. Everyone cheered for them and applauded them.

While coming from the stage, Raavi thanked Shiva.

Raavi : Thank you for saving me and sorry Maine aapko galat samjhi thi. Aap ka awaz bohot sundar hai, ekdam professional singer jaise hi gaate hai aap.

Shiva: Thank you bolne ki zarurat nahi hai. Afterall, Mr. Sharma mera bohot important client aur dost hai. Uska prestige ka matter tha, tum itna hawa mein mat udo, humara dynamics ek hi hai. Main nahi chahta tha ki ye event barbaad ho jaye. Aur tum jaise bhi ho, gaana thik thak gaa leti ho .To isliye main join kiya. Nhi to Shiva Pandya aise kisike sath gaana nhi gaate hai.

Saying this, Shiva left the hall. Raavi watched his retreating figure with a pouting face.

Raavi : Ajib insaan hai, thank you bolne pe itna lecture de dia! Huh!, Pata nahi uska biwi uske sath kaise rehti hai! Par manna padega gaana to bohot achha gaate hai.

Scene shifts to a beach,

Ishanvi was dropped by Shiva's driver. She was awestruck to see the decorations.

Shiva had decorated the beach very beautifully. He had arranged an amazing, aesthetic candle light dinner. It was very relaxing and soothing for Ishanvi. Shiva was nearly there. He arrived with a big bouquet of red roses and hugged her. Then he handed it to her with a big smile.

"So, did u like the surprise" he whispered, leaning down to kiss her on her cheek. His rancid breath stained the air around her face. "Happy Valentines Day," she said. Ishanvi cupped his cheeks and kissed on his forehead. He took the necklace and raised her hair and gently put it on her. Kissing on her neck softly, he whispered,"Happy Valentines day to you too".

Ishanvi : Wow, ye neckace to bohot sundar hai. But Iski kya zarurat thi? Tum aye ho, itna planning kiya mujhe surprise dene ke liye, yehi kafi hai mere liye.

Shiva held her hand and walked down the sand watching a breathtakingly beautiful view.

Shiva : Par mere liye nhi, main tumhe aur humari ane wale baby ko duniya ki har khushi dunga. Tumhe duniya ki sabse lucky ladki aur ye junior ko sabse lucky child feel karwaunga.

Ishanvi slightly smiled, remembering their dreadful fate. It's time to disclose the truth.
