They reached on time to hear all the formalities and Amarjeet giving his long wordy speech about MU's history and the sales of the birthday issue. Finally he ended off his speech and told everyone to be merry and have a good time. Amarjeet saw Armaan and Bharti and came over to them.

Amarjeet: Bharti and Armaan, this is a laudable performance by both of you, it's a laudable issue, and the sales are laudable too. Bhai, lets have a laudable party!

And with that he was off, Bharti and Armaan just looked at each other and laughed seeing Amarjeet in such a festive mood. They mingled around with the guests and after a bit Armaan went to get drinks for himself and Bharti. Amarjeet saw this and went back onto the stage.

Amarjeet: "I almost forgot! We all need to toast our history, our success and our future success. Everyone get your drinks, be it champagne or orange juice! This is to Men's Universe, may we have many more laudable parties like this! Cheers!"

Armaan and Bharti looked at each other and joined the toast with their glasses. They drank a sip of their champagne, all the while not losing eye contact. They walked around further amongst the guests. While they were walking next to each other, Armaan interlocked his pinky finger with Bharti's and when she didn't pull away, he interlocked all his fingers with hers. Bharti looked up at him with raised eyebrows.

Bharti: "Armaan, what are you doing!?"

Armaan: "What? I'm holding my beautiful wife's hand...How else will everyone know that you're taken?"

And with that he winked at her and squeezed her hand. Bharti just let him hold her hand, for some reason she didn't feel the need to pull away.

After that the buffet was opened, so they went to eat. All the tables were taken by the time they went to sit down. The only two seats that were left together were right at the back of the room. They went to sit there and it was actually quite romantic, what with the dimmed lights, the quieter surroundings, the candles all lit around them and the soothing sound of the water feature next to them.

Bharti: "So, having a good time?"

Armaan: (smiling)"Couldn't ask for a better night..."

They ate in silence and just kept sharing these intimate looks between them. Bharti didn't know why, but she wasn't avoiding Armaan, his looks or his touch, and she didn't mind his flirting either. After they finished eating they just sat there watching people starting to dance and while they sat there Armaan took hold of Bharti's hand again. This time neither did she flinch nor ask any questions.

Armaan: (gazing at Bharti)"Bharti, you're acting different..."

The way Bharti looked at him showed him that she knew exactly what he was hinting at...

Armaan: "Why?"

Bharti: "Armaan, honestly...I don't know."

Armaan: (smiling)"Well, whatever the reason, I like it."

Bharti smiled back at him and moved a little closer to him before resting her head against the Armaan's shoulder. They sat like that for a while, until Amarjeet came up to them.

Amarjeet: "What is this Bharti? You can't be tired already. And Armaan you? Come on, there is such good music, you'll are young, go and dance! "

Amarjeet started going away and on the way he was dancing and at ever second step he would give a little kick to the side. He found Jenny on the way and pulled her to dance. Armaan got up and gently pulled Bharti's hand that was still in his. Bharti looked up at him with questioning eyes.

Armaan: "You heard the boss...dance with me."

Bharti got up and followed Armaan to the dance floor with Armaan never letting go of her hand. They danced to a few songs, all the lively dance numbers and then the lights were dimmed and a romantic number was played.

Khuda Jaane.....

They danced close to each other and all the time they just looked deeply into each other's eyes. It was like their souls were talking to each other. Bharti didn't feel uncomfortable at all, she just gazed at him and could not move her eyes away from his. While they were dancing, both of them recollected all their moments together, good memories, funny memories..everything...

Khuda Jaane ke mein fida hun
Khuda Jaane mein mit gaya
Khuda jaane yeh kyun huwa hai
Ke ban gaye ho tum mere khuda

Bharti remembered the first time they met, how Armaan saved her from falling. And even though she was really "Bhaskar-the-man" back then, she remembered how she felt a strange connection for a second, how she couldn't help but just stare into his eyes...

Armaan on the other hand was remembering that beautiful photo shoot he had had with Bharti, how angelic she looked with those snowflakes falling around her. Back then he would never have thought that he would be dancing now with her in his arms..Bharti..his wife.

They both looked at each other and smiled. Armaan pulled Bharti a little closer to him and she just leaned foward and lay her head on his chest. She smiled to herself as she remembered how Armaan was always there for her, through every problem. He was always there to cheer her up or make her smile. And he was always there ready to catch her as she was about to fall...she always felt so safe in Armaan's arms...she would just forget about all the problems. In his arms she always felt special and she had to admit, she had always felt loved.

Armaan rested his head on hers and could smell the lovely scent of her hair. He thought about the best moments he had had with Bharti, that time in the jungle before he proposed to her. He honestly did not plan on doing that. He just had an amazing time with her and felt that she was growing closer to him - the way she spoke to him and when she danced with him. He just knew that night that he really did want to spend the rest of his life with her. He hadn't expected her to agree, but he was so happy that she did.

They both stayed like that even after the song ended, Armaan with his head next Bharti's and with his eyes closed and Bharti with her head resting on his shoulder with her eyes closed.

It would have been something as romantic and beautiful as this....

Sunny: (huge smile on his face and thinking to himself) "Oh Sunny, I think I'm going to faint..oh but then Armaan darling can catch me in his big strong arms...Oh my I think I'm going to get even more light-headed."

Armaan stepped back and placed Bharti's hand in Sunny's.

Armaan: (whispered to Bharti)"I'll be right back."

Armaan: (winking to Sunny)"Sunny, take care of her."

Sunny looked absolutely distraught, he watched Armaan walk away and Sunny held out his arm, waiting for Armaan to turn back, but all he did was turn back to smile at Bharti. Sunny then looked down at Bharti's hand in his.

Sunny: (thinking to himself)"What is this? I wanted to dance with Armaan and now I've got this Bharti's hand in mine. I suppose I have to dance with her now. Man, she's so lucky, I thought I could have some slow, close dancing with my Armu..."

Sunny heaved a great sigh and Bharti asked if he is okay. Sunny gave her a fake smile and continued dancing.

Meanwhile Amarjeet came up to Armaan and pulled him to a side.

Amarjeet: "Armaan... bhai, I've been looking for you for so long. Finally you're away from Bharti now. I need you to get your camera and take some photographs of the party. You know, all the important guests, potential clients etc, we will put it in our next issue. Have a small bit on the laudable MU birthday/success party. Okay! Get moving now..Armaan, stop looking at Bharti she'll be fine here, look... oh she's with Sunny, don't worry she will still be fine. Now go! "

When the song ended, Bharti excused herself. She noticed that Armaan was nowhere to be found, so she decided to walk around instead of sitting by herself. After a bit, Amarjeet stopped her and introduced her to a middle-aged man. He shook Bharti's hand and Amarjeet explained that his name was Mr Mehta and that he was a potential client. Mr Mehta had shown quite a bit of interest in Men's Universe, as he noticed and liked the fresh layout of the last few issues. Amarjeet credited the new approach to Bharti and Mr Mehta told Bharti that he was very impressed and that she really had a bright future ahead. Bharti smiled and thanked him. Amarjeet excused himself to go and meet the investors of MU, leaving Bharti alone with Mr Mehta.

Mr Mehta: "Um, Miss Bharti, if you don't mind me asking, would you like to dance?"

Bharti was taken aback at first, as she normally did not dance with people she didn't know and that too, unknown old men, but then again she realised that he was a potential client and she did not want to make MU look bad or unfriendly, so she agreed. She danced with him and she knew she probably looked as uncomfortable as she looked, but Mr Mehta just kept on dancing. He was dancing quite close to her and he kept on touching her arms and back even when she tried to move away from his touch.

Bharti:"Um Mr Mehta.."

Mr Mehta: "Oh you can call me OK..."

Bharti: (smiling uncomfortably and thinking that she can't take this anymore)"Could you just excuse me, I'm going to get some fresh air."

Mr Mehta smiled and gestured for her to go. Bharti went to the door that led to the balcony and as she was walking out the door, Armaan had come back and saw her leaving. He assumed that she just needed some fresh air. Outside Bharti was standing in the balcony rubbing her arms and looking up at the night sky when she felt someone tap her shoulder.
