"Bepannaah can not be what it is without her. She makes it complete. - Mr. Chopda when asked about Ms. Winget"

Jennifer Winget, in her thirty four years of life, has always been a little conscious about her food habits, but never too much to not enjoy her favourite delicacies, which was why she had never been jealous of food or foodies, until today.

Because today, as her eyes glared at the man sitting on her alleged best friend's dining table, hogging on the Panneer Tikka, she felt this defying urge to strangle him then and there.

"Kasam se, if looks could kill", Sehban, came from behind her and whispered in her ears, a soft teasing touch to his comment but Jenny shot a glare at him, making him raise his hands and surrender, before he walked off to sit beside the same man she wanted to kill, a certain Mr. Chopda.

Naihal looked over Harshad's frame and gestured Jennifer to join but she shook her head and immediately turned on her heels to go sit with Wahi and Namita instead, her face oddly irritated and her stance fidgety as she drank her third wine for the night.

"Easy there Jenny. What's even wrong with you?", Wahi asked, sharing a look with Namita who nodded, while Jennifer decided to say nothing, only upping the volume of the speaker by a notch. Wahi chuckled, his best friend could be a baby when she wanted to.

I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

Naihal frowned as she heard the songs blasting through the speaker, she raised her head to find her husband looking at her with concerned eyes. She stood over to find Jennifer choosing the songs and that made her frown more. Jennifer didn't play such songs, especially in a full on gathering with all their friends.

Harshad who had been silent all this while, his concentration entirely on the food and some small talks with Anniruddha, sneaked one glance at the gorgeous lady in her little black dress, the rage in her eyes as she stole glances of him making her appear sexier. Harshad bit his smile as he took in her anger, but did nothing to pacify it.

A while later, the rest of the gang also settled down on the couches, drinks in hands as they gossiped about trivial things. Everything seemed fine until Wahi pulled out the wrong wire from a bomb that was anyway waiting to be explode.

"So Harshad, how did you find London weather?", Wahi's question brought everybody's attention to their conversation and they started telling their individual opinions about London before Harshad chose to answer.

"It was good. A little chilly for my preference, but just like you told it would be", Harshad chuckled, "I checked almost all places you told me to, including the Buckingham Palace, and shopping part toh Erica helped me anyway!".

"She is sweet that way, we have fun whenever we meet", Wahi sipped his wine, unaware of the clenched fists just by his side.

"She definitely is man. We talked for most of the flight and I think I found her really easy to talk to and she also helped me with the partying post AVTA", Harshad started laughing, remembering how she had literally dragged him out to the dance floor.
