It was almost evening when Viraj and Abhi were waiting for Ananya to finish choosing her dress. She was trying out her seventh dress. They were irritated and frustrated by the fact that she wasn't satisfied with the choice of dress.
With her blue off-shoulder dress on, Ananya steps out in front of them,
Ananya-" Well, I think this is not a good idea either, let me change into this last dress, wait just for a moment" after which she started moving around, but stopped when Viraj commented, "Yes, waste my time and money.".
Ananya-" It was you, Mr., who wanted me to be ready for the party, and you still have time to change your plan if that is what you would like."
Viraj was again stopped by Abhi who said, "No Ananya, just do it a bit faster, the time is running out.".
Taking a deep breath, Ananya nodded and went to change her dress.
As Viraj turns to his friend, he asks, "Are you really my friend? Every time I was going to say something, you cut me off in the middle and agree with everything she says, and you should be with me.
Abhi-" What can I say? Sensible lady always has the right opinion about everything related to you."
In response, Viraj looked down on the floor and began to search for something.
Abhi-" Can you tell me what happened? Did you lose something?"
Viraj-"yes"
Abhi-"What?"
Viraj-"Your brain has changed, you have lost your senses. I ask that you kill me if she is sensible."
The two of them were arguing and then Ananya came and said to them, "I think this is the most appropriate , what you both say" She remarked while standing in front of a mirror and asking them to speak up"
Viraj was again mesmerized by the beauty of the woman. He was watching her in her black patchwork bodycon dress and his mind was telling him several times that he wasn't supposed to stare at her like that, it is creepy, however despite his thoughts, his entire body was not listening to him. As soon as Abhi sees Ananya, his gaze turns toward Viraj, and noticing that he is not in the best of condition, he tries to pull out Viraj's leg by saying "What are you staring at Viraj?"
In response, Viraj shrugged his shoulders and said, "Nothing."
As Abhi said, "Don't be a liar, you would not have stared at nothing, OK?"
Thereafter, Ananya made a comment to the effect of "of course, he was looking at me, he had never seen such a beautiful girl before"
As Viraj acted confused, he said, "Beautiful girl? Where is she? I'm not able to see her, my eyesight is good, Ananya move aside, I can't see her." Viraj continued by taunting Ananya.
Ananya replied, "Mr.Viraj, I was talking about myself"
Viraj-"Hmm, you're talking about yourself , I didn't realize, I thought you were talking about a beautiful girl and not a sulking woman, I didn't know that"
Ananya made a face, seeing Ananya like this Viraj was not able to hold back his laugh, he with laughing says "ok let's go"
They then got into Viraj's car.
Viraj has driven Abhi to his house, and then he starts driving; Ananya has then asked, "Why is Abhi not coming with us?"
Viraj: "He'll join us at the party with his girlfriend and we'll meet him there."
In surprise, Ananya asked, "Abhi has a girlfriend?"
A tone of anger gloomily reflected on Viraj's face as he said: "Why are you upset or angry that he has a girlfriend? Did you want to be his girlfriend?" With a mocking tone, he said, "I apologize, better luck next time."
Ananya-"Well, I've never seen his girlfriend, so I asked, but why do you get so angry?
Viraj-"I'm not angry at all, but I was concerned about my best friend."
In the end, Ananya did not say anything after that, but in her mind she derived the conclusion that you might be jealous of me, Mr. Viraj Singh Rathore, so maybe my plan is working.
It was then all silence in the car. They stopped at a gift shop, and Ananya asked Viraj "What type of gift does your friend like?"
Viraj-"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here"
Ananya: "All right, tell me about her personality, what type of friendship you two share?"
Viraj-"We have grown closer together. She is like a little sister to me, but she didn't feel the same way about me. I was recently told that she would propose to me if I could still be single. She is a good person with a good heart."
Ananya-"that's why you're going with me, so everyone will think you're in a relationship with me"
Viraj-"I have already given you the money that you requested."
Ananya-"I didn't say anything, I'm willing to help you"
Both searched for gifts. Ananya's eye landed on a particular gift, and she recommended Viraj give it to her friend. In accordance with Viraj's description of Jennifer, he also mentioned that she is interested in perfumes. Anaya asked the shopkeeper to pack this, Viraj paid the money and headed to the car. On their way to his friend's party, they brought an orchid bouquet.
When they reached their destination, Viraj asked Ananya, "Now you are here as my girlfriend, so act like my lady."
In response, Ananya answered, "I know, ok. Can we now leave?"
Viraj put his hand on Ananya's waist as he drew her closer to him. He whispered in her ear, "You are my girlfriend right now, so be this way."
As Ananya felt her heart beating fast, she tried to control herself, and after clamming down, Viraj and she walked to meet Jennifer together.
A beautiful red dress adorned Jennifer's beautiful face. As soon as she saw Viraj, she ran towards him to hug him. However, when she saw him with Ananya, she stopped and slowly approached him, recognizing that he was with Ananya. She hid her tears as soon as Viraj came into her view.
Viraj-"hey, how are you Jenn?"
As she smiles, Jennifer says, "I am fine. Tell me how you are, and which person is with you, who grabbed the attention of everyone."
Ananya - "This person is known as Ananya".
In the midst of shaking hands, Jennifer and Ananya lead Viraj away from them both to meet with his friends.
She has a smile on her face and whispers - "you two look so good together" as she hides her tears.
Ananya-"I guess so, if you think so."
As Jennifer nodded, she asked Ananya to sit down, and said again, "How did you two meet?"
As Ananya told her the story that both of them created together, how they met in her college and then they became friends and then lovers, Jennifer could not hide her pain and was all listening during that time.
Jennifer, Ananya says softly but firmly after the long pause, "You do not have to keep your pain hidden from me" Ananya continues her sentence with a soothing smile.
A glance at Jennifer revealed that she was saying "Excuse me?"
Ananya-"To have your love with someone else is so painful, and I’m sure you are in pain"
Trying to pretend that she does not know what Ananya is saying, Jennifer asks, "What is it that you are saying, Ananya?"
Ananya-" From the way you look at me and the way your eyes reflect the pain you are feeling, I believe that you love Viraj, Jennifer."
Jennifer-" Please stop this, you clearly misunderstood. We are friends, I realize he views me as his sister"
Ananya-"That's not what you feel, it's what he feels"
It was Jennifer's intention to end this conversation, but Ananya stopped her. Finally, after so many attempts, Jennifer decided to let it be, and began to express her feelings.
Jennifer-"I know what you need me to say, but all I can say is that I love Viraj, yes, I do, but we can't be together. He sees me as his sibling, so I'm glad for him that he met you.
Ananya-"What about you?"
Jennifer-"What about me? It's my fault. Despite the fact that I put my foot in the wrong place, I am glad I can at least be friends with him. He is a gentleman and you are lucky to have him as a boyfriend."
It was with disbelief that Ananya looked at the girl, and then she asked: "What kind of person are you? How do you feel about seeing your love with someone else? Are you ok?"
Jennifer-"To see Viraj happy is of utmost importance to me, well I'm going abroad for my masters, I don't know if I'll be able to come or not, he truly loves you, and you are a good person, and that's what matters to me."
As Ananya gets ready to speak Jennifer says further, "I just want to start a new chapter in my life. I just want to move on. He really loves you."
Aanya did not say anything further, for she understands that sometimes we need to let go of things in order to move on. So, she asked Jennifer again, "How do you know he loves me?"
Jennifer--" Have you seen him? He is truly crazy for you. Look at his eyes, they never leave you."
As Ananya follows Jennifer's direction, she notices Viraj's attention moving away from her, so she says to herself inwardly, "Yes, my work is progressing, keep going"
