Author's POV

He got down from his car and started moving towards the entrance of the function hall where Ragini's and Laksh's engagement is happening. He reached the entrance to see a lot of security. He moves towards the Security metal detector and stops in it. Once he completed that checking he moved front and got checked by the security guard. He then moved to the next security check where the guard asks his name.

Shivam: Shivam!

Guard: Shivam?

Shivam: Shivam Malhotra!

Guard: Thank you sir. You can go in.

Shivam smiles and moves inside. He looks around to find Aarushi but his eyes fall on the stage where RagLak is written with big board which is in the shape of love. The whole place is filled with white. The stage also has white flowers and everything is white. He fists his hands as soon as he see RagLak name.

Shivam: (to himself) Ginu is mine and she will become mine for sure Mr. Laksh Maheshwari.

He grits his teeth angrily.

Aarushi: Shivam!

She calls as soon as she finds him. He turns and looks at her. He smiles at her.

Shivam: Aru!

He hugs her.

Aarushi: I missed you so much!

Shivam: (smirks) But I didn't.

She hits him while he laughs.

Aarushi: Ragu was upset that you didn't come yesterday.

Shivam: Yaar I was really busy. Otherwise will I miss meeting her.

Aarushi: Hmm... I agree you won't miss meeting her. Afterall she is the most important to you. I am tho just a name sake.

Shivam: Ofcourse you are just name sake.

He winks at her while she hits him again whinning. He laughs while she joins him in laugh.

His POV

I came back to her after talking to Ronak about asking media to settle down.

"Chale?" I asked her.

She looked at me and I could see she is nervous. I forwarded my hand to her. I assured her by my eyes and she slowly places her hand on my hand.

"A small discomfort you will press my hand and I will bring you out of there in the next second!" I said looking directly into her eyes.

She smiled brightly hearing me and nodded. We both moved towards the area where media are present. As soon as we entered into the room the whole media started clicking pictures. We both stood in the middle where all the mics have been placed.

They asked few questions like about it is arranged marriage or love marriage and many more. I answered not letting her feel uncomfortable. She was holding my hand very tight. I could see her nervousness on her face. She was sweating. I couldn't help but slowly wipe her sweat which I am sure would have given good content to the media of being cute. Hehe I didn't think about this and just did what my heart asked me to do. After their questioning session they asked us to pose for some pictures. I looked at her while she is already looking at me.

"You want to?" I asked her.

She smiled lightly and nodded. I could see the trust she has for me in her eyes. I kept my hand slowly around her waist pulling her near to me. She looked down and blushed. I couldn't help but smile looking at her cute blushing face.
