"We are not meeting each other here!" Shivalika told Yash.
"Don't even come in front of my eyes!" Yash shot back to Shivalika pointing his forefinger at her. They were at the party in which Nandani invited them. Shivalika was not in the mood to attend this party Leaving Vartika with their parents, but The sibling came here on Nandani's insistence.
"Leave it, When will Nandani come? I am getting bored," she asked, glancing at the entrance.
"You are getting bored?" Yash scoffed.
"What do You mean?" She asked crossing her arms.
"I mean you love watching men at parties" He shrugged off casually, and Shivalika looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you an idiot?"
"You used to go to parties to see hot men, didn't you?" He started teasing her looking at her flustered face.
"Umm-- Vo-- I-I was a new adult at that time!!" She explained.
"Sure" He gave her a knowing look
Before Shivalika could say further Yash got a call.
"She is here. I will go and pick her up. Call me if someone troubles you or text me," He said, while looking at his phone and then left the hall.
Shivalika sighed looking at his fading figure, and turned to the bartender.
"Wine, Beer or anything else, Ma'am?"
"Fruit juice, Please," She said and looked at the crowded side of the hall. There was a fashion week going on. It was a famous company doing their fashion shows all over the Country keeping in mind the culture to fascinate the locals. Today was also their success party as their Uttarakhand tour was going great. Shivalika missed how she used to wear new designs every day back in the US. she never missed any fashion week at that time, she loved dressing and buying the latest fashion. She still does, but now her life only revolves around business suits and homeless clothes at home.
"Here" Her thoughts were interrupted by the bartender who gave her the fruit juice, she thanked him and took a sip of juice, focusing back on the area where the fashion show was about to start while enjoying the music.
Suddenly She choked on her drink when she saw a familiar figure.
"Aditya!?"
Was she hallucinating?
As the crowd was increasing, she was not able to confirm her hallucination.
He was surrounded by the crowd, she stood up from her seat and made her way towards the crowd, but before she could confirm it was Aditya, she heard a man on the stage with a mic saying something.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
Tonight, we gather to celebrate the stunning achievements of our fashion show. To everyone part of it, your passion and dedication have made this event truly spectacular. 
Most especially a big Thanks to Aditya Agnihotri, our sponsor. Your belief in our vision has made this night possible.
Shivalika's eyes widened in surprise. She saw the director of the company greeting him politely, and they continued talking about something.
Aditya!?
Sponsor?

When did he enter this industry?
How did he end up here?
"Aditya Agnihotri, A US-based Indian Businessman, runs a Private Security Company, but now he has entered the Fashion industry also, even though the fields are totally opposite" Shivalika glanced at her other side and found Nandani, she was telling her about Aditya, according to her Shivalika doesn't know him.
