2 days later*

I was at Rezas' place. Bringing more of Fariha's things so she didn't have to worry about it. 

Today was the last day I would be coming like this because today I brought all of her last stuff.

Though I'd definitely be invading and coming to see Fariha sometimes. Just don't know when. Cause I do get busy because of my messed up schedule.

It's her who always finds the time to come in my room and chat with me. Sometimes spilling the tea between how one of her worker and Ifran, who is Ehaan's assistant and his and Kabir bhaia's best friend, are having an affair.

"Api! Stay for a bit longer!" Esma insists.

"I might have to go back." I say with an apologetic look.

"You told us na? that you will teach us how to apply mehendi like you." Ezra speaks.

"Yes but I don't know if I can stay this long."

"Api! Please-" Frantic knocks on the door cuts Esma off.

"Who could that be?" Ezra goes up to open the door and cameras start flashing at us.

"Miss Ezra Reza. Is it true that your brother Ehaan Reza is getting married to Saisha Moiin?" one of the reporters ask as she starts shoving the mic to Ezra's mouth as Ezra and Esma looks at them with shock.

The elders ran up to us. Ehaan also following them. Asma and Rozina aunty came infront of Ezra and Esma to protect them. Ehaan Reza, surprisingly standing infront of me to cover my face, though it was too late. Some even started directing questions at me.

"Miss Saria Syed, are you really trying to get Ehaan even after knowing that he is marrying Saisha?" some stupid dude shouted out.

"This is outrageous! Where are the security!" Tanvir uncle said furiously. The security was right behind the reporters, trying their best to pull them out of the area.

"Mr Reza. Please answer, is it true what Sohel Moiin stated?" someone else asks as everyone else shouts 'Yes, yes'

"Saria Syed, don't you feel ashamed of doing this when Ehaan is going to be with-?" someone else tried to shove a mic at me when Ehaan shouted out.

"Enough!" he said as all reporters pointed the mic to him. "Firstly, I don't know who gave you the permission to come into someone's house like this unannounced because it is definitely not professional or even allowed! Secondly, what is going on with you all targetting anyone you see?" he directed the question to the reporter who shoved the mic at me. "Saria shouldn't be ashamed of doing 'this' cause she isn't doing anything. Coming at a family friends' house is a bad thing now? And even if she is doing 'this' that everyone is indicating, I have no relation to Saisha Moiin, nor have I ever even spoken to her. Thirdly, you cannot barge in and demand answers like this just because Sohel Moiin announced something." he said which surprised me.

Is Mr Attitude defending me? Normally, he'd throw me under the bus!

"The rumour is not true." Bilal uncle speaks for the first time. "We have no relationship except business and I'm sure everyone knows that. The media should know, if anything like that is true, both families would announce it together. Just like we did for Ehsan's marriage with Fariha Syed. We can't seem to understand why the Moiins would do this so we will have a discussion and get back to the media but I can assure you that it is not true. As we have unofficially already decided Ehaan's marriage with someone else. Though it is not yet confirmed. But as already stated. For an announcement like a marriage, both families will announce it together. Hope you understand.

Thankfully, it starts cooling down from then. Most leave, some ask a few questions and then leave. I notice Ehaan taking a note of everyone that came in.

"Making people lose their jobs now, are we?" I go over to him.

"They deserve it as they can't do it properly." he says nonchalantly.

"Hmm... So, who's the unlucky girl?" I ask while smirking.

"What?"

"Uncle said they confirmed your marriage with someone. So, who's the unlucky girl?"

"Shut up, he said it to shoo them away," he replies, though he looks unsure about his own response.

"Right..." I say while still smirking when I see Ezra and Esma walking inside, so I follow them.

"Are you two okay?" I ask concerned.

"Yes," Ezra replied while Esma was still a bit shooked.

"It will be fine don't worry. I just still don't get what happened." I say as Esma turns on the news.

'Breaking News! Sohel Moiin have announced in an event that his daughter Saisha Moiin is getting engaged with Ehaan Reza the son of Bilal Reza. His exact statement was, "I am excited to join ties with the Rezas and I can't believe Saisha and Ehaan have decided to tie the knot, they have both grown up so much!" To the response of this, the Reza's have said that this never happened and they have no relation whatsoever with the Moiins except of business. The statement they gave was-"

The TV suddenly turned off.

"Don't waste time looking at this. It's useless and pointless." Ehaan said coldly and left.

Even though I was really tired and wanted to go home, Ezra and Esma both looks really shocked and I don't want to leave them like this. So I do what they've been wanting me to do.

"Do you have any mehendi cones?" I ask.

"Yeah, we do." Ezra 

"Bring them," I say while smiling. To which, Esma beams in happiness and runs to bring the cones.

After she brings the cones, I give one to each of them. 

"Okay so, before learning designs and things like that, first you need to be comfortable with the utensils. Take the cone like a paintbrush and the hand as your canvas. For now, just try and do something very simple, like a circle." I hold out my right hand towards them to draw on.

"In your hand?" Ezra asks surprised.

"Yes, come on." I say. 

They start doodling circles on my hand.

"Api, so sorry I messed it up." I look to see Esma joint almost all her circles together with one line.

"There's always a way to fix mistakes." I take the cone and draw a circle around all the tiny circles they both drew and covered it.

"But it looks so plain now." Ezra said.

"Plain is not always a bad thing. But it doesn't take much to make things less plain." I say and draw tiny dots around the big circle. It was hard as I am not left-handed.

"Try drawing on my fingers." They listen and start applying it to my fingers. 

Ezra follows the pattern on my palm and draws small dots under the coverage.

"That's good. Keeping the pattern." I comment.

Esma copies her and draws dots as well.

"Looks amazing!" I comment.

"Api, you're so good. Even with your left hand. You can come over and apply Mehendi on us anytime! We'll be ready." Esma said.

How do I tell you guys sometimes it gets exhausting even after how much I love it?

"Sure," I say while drawing a few wiggly leaves in my hand.

"I'll be off now," I say and start leaving when Rozina aunty comes to me.

"Dear, it's getting so late. It's not safe to go alone, especially after what happened. Wait here let me tell Ehaan to drop you." she rushes to his room before I could reply.

Seriously? I don't want to see that attitude guy again.

We come inside our hotel room after dinner.

Another day of seeing my love's happiness. 

She kept thanking me for planning all this. Though I didn't. I wanted to tell her that this was all Saria but if I did that, Saria would murder me.

Though I'm sure Fariha knows it's all Saria. Saria insists I should not speak of it.

"OH MY GOSH!" Fariha's scream made me startle as I immediately ran up to her.

"What happened? Are you okay?" I ask worried. And start checking if she has any injuries.

She hands me her phone with a shocked face. I take it to see an article.

!Breaking News!

Locals have gone crazy after hearing Sohel Moiin's recent statement about his daughter's engagement with Ehaan Reza.

"Huh?" I ask confused. Saisha and Ehaan? Never happening.

"I know right! That's so outrageous." she said with a disgusted voice.

"Yeah," I say while reading the full article.

Many have questioned Saria Syed because recently she was spotted going to the Rezas' Mansion every now and then. What is she stirring up?

"They are blaming Saria for no reason? What the hell?" I say in disbelief. Saria and Fariha visited our house all the time with Rayan and Kabir a few years ago. Before everyone got busy with everything. We also visited theirs.

But now they're suddenly seeing a problem with it?

"Stirring? She didn't stir anything. It's Sohel Moiin who is stirring up trouble." Fariha pouts with anger which makes her look so cute.

Focus Ehsan. This is important.

But she's important too.

Focus!

I search the topic and check out the most recent article.

Bilal Reza denied the rumour saying 'We have no relationship except business and I'm sure everyone knows that.' He also stated that they have been tying Ehaan's knot with someone else unofficially and will announce it soon as well.

"Tying Ehaan's knot? With whom?" Fariha asks while looking at the article over my shoulder.

"I don't know. At least it's all been taken care of." I say and put her phone aside.

Who could they plan his tie with? Were they actually planning one and decided to reveal it in a rush like ours? Or is it an excuse for the public to believe us?

Oh well, whatever it is. They can worry about that.

"Now, stop thinking about all that and think about me," I say while smirking.

Fariha's face turned red and she soon ran away.

I started chasing her as she ran around the room.

"Where are you running off to love?"

"Away from you," she said while chuckling and nearing a dead end. "Don't you dare, stay away." she says and turns around when she realises that it was a dead end.

"What if I dare?" I say while grinning.

"No Romeo," she walked backwards and stopped at her back touching the wall, not being able to go any further back.

"Yes Love," I say while pinning her to the wall.

For a moment, we were frozen on the spot. Then suddenly, her phone rang to which Fariha pushed me backwards.

"I-I need to get that," she said, her face looking like a tomato.

"Hmm Saru?" she started talking on the phone.

Kyu yarr? (Why bro?) Why did she have to call at this moment? Didn't she want us to enjoy our honeymoon?
