The driver stops the car in front of the gate and Liam comes out then goes to her side. He opens the door and she comes out holding his hand. She stumbles a bit due to heels but he held her and wraps his hand around her waist.

"Thank you for not letting me fall." She said entwinning their fingers.

"I'll never let you fall. I'll always holds you like this only." He said kissing her head and she smiled.

Aarya...

They heard her name calling and looks in the direction.

"Milan. How's you?" She asked with a smile.

"I'm good but what about you?" Milan asked back.

"I'm fine. You've changed so much in a year." She said.

"You too. Is he your boyfriend?" Milan asked pointing at Liam.

"Yes. I'm her boyfriend. Liam Knight." Liam said forwarding his hand.

"Mr. Knight, I know about you. I'm Milan Shah. Aarya's classmate." Milan said shaking hand with him.

"Let's go in." Aarya said.

They walks in the garden which was decorated with lights and balloons. Slow music was running around in the garden. Her classmates spotted her and Liam. They're surprised seeing her with non-Indian guy.

"I'm the white one here." Liam whispered in her ear.

"Are you complaining, Mr. Knight? I've been working with you where I'm the different one only." She replies back and he chuckled.

"I'm not complaining about it. I've roamed in so many countries and met so many different people. Let's meet your classmates." He said caressing her waist.

They met her classmates and she introduced Liam to everyone as her boyfriend. Many of her classmates knows about Liam because they're working in different companies. They've heard about his company's market rates.

Tiya and her gang comes there with showing fake attitude.

"Hello, class. We're together after three years. Everyone changed so much. I'm glad that you guys come for this reunion. Thank you so much." Tiya said.

Everyone hooted for her while Aarya rolled her eyes. Tiya looks at her and approached to her.

"Oh... To tum aa hi gayi apne iss angrezi boyfriend ke sath. Achha hua tumne dhang ke kapde pehne warna meri party kharab kar deti." Tiya said with wicked smile.

(So you came with your English boyfriend. It's good that you wore proper clothes, otherwise you would have ruined my party and date.)

"First of all, he's not English. He's American and you need to stop insulting him. It's not good for you." Aarya said rolling her eyes.

"Stop it. You don't have right to insult me. You and your so called boyfriend don't deserve here. Just like you, your boyfriend doesn't have any class and status." Tiya said gaining other's attention.

Ye Tiya pagal vagal ho gayi hai kya?

(Is she gone mad?)

Pata bhi hai ki ye kaun hai?

(Doesn't she know who is he?)

She needs to stop with her nonsense.

Everyone starts gossiping about Tiya's stupidity.

"Well, you also don't have any class. Your way of talking shows what kind of class and status you have. And for your kind information, the class and status my boyfriend have in his life; there you can't even reach. And I'm not here to take your insults. You can shove your party in your ass. Let's go Liam." Aarya snapped at her angrily.
