Aadhya kept crying in this room for a long time, after that she washed her face. All the makeup from Aadhya's face got washed away in the water, the skin of Aadhya's face became clearly visible, and due to Aadhya's crying, her cheeks started looking red, Aadhya's nose also started looking slightly red, Aadhya's eyes were swollen.

And Aadhya looked at herself in the mirror, then after looking like this for a few moments, she composed herself and came out,

It was clearly visible from Aadhya's face that she had cried a lot, but Aadhya knew that the more she would stay alone, the less she would be able to stop herself from crying, so she came out to the garden and stood at a place,

Aadhya must have been standing there for a few moments when Priya came there and said - "Aadhya, where did you go with Dev, I did not find you anywhere."

Aadhya spoke in a low voice looking at Priya. - "Why were you looking for me...?

Yes, Dev's mom was calling you that's why."

Priya replied.

Aadhya said while looking around. - "I don't want to go anywhere. If he meets you again, you tell him that I didn't meet you anywhere."

Priya started staring at Aadhya and then said. - "Aadhya, what kind of answer is this that I didn't meet you anywhere? Is this something to say...?"

Aadhya took a deep breath and said. - "Priya, I am having a headache, so please don't talk about all this to me right now."

Priya started looking at Aadhya carefully and then looking at her face she said. - "Adhya, why did you remove your makeup? You were looking so good.

Adhya said sadly. - "I was getting dirty due to the makeup, that's why I washed my face."

Priya started looking at Adhya's face more closely, which Adhya started avoiding and before Priya could ask Adhya any question, Rohit came there and said holding Priya's hand. - "Hey beauty, I have been looking for you since a long time, where were you? Come, now it's time for our dance performance."

Priya and Rohit had decided that we two will dance together and both of them had also prepared for it.

Priya said while freeing her hand from Rohit. - "I will come now, till then you go and get ready to dance."

Rohit said while holding Priya's hand firmly and taking her with him. - "There is no need for this, I had told you that if you choose me as your dance partner once, then I will not let you back down."

"But listen to me."

Priya kept saying but Rohit did not listen to her and took Priya with him. Adhya started walking towards the front where all her friends were standing.

Here Sameer saw Somya and looked at her friends and then he asked all of them to come with him. The girl who was holding Sameer's arms was also walking with Sameer and was walking step by step with him.

Here Somya started getting restless thinking that Sameer might be in a relationship with some other girl. Thinking this Somya started feeling breathless and then she started leaving from there. Then Sameer came very close and seeing Somya leaving from there Sameer said while coming to her - "Somya where are you going..?"

Hearing Sameer's voice Somya stopped and turned back and started looking at Sameer. Seeing Sameer's friends coming along with him, Somya became sadder.

Sameer's smile was still on his face. He came and stood next to Somya. Sameer said in a low voice. - "You look exactly like I had thought."

Sameer said this in excitement, so he did not remember what he said and when he said it, he realized what he had revealed in front of everyone. Sameer said while controlling his words. - "I mean you look very beautiful in this dress."

Somya's face had a fake smile. She said thank you to Sameer normally and then Somya started to leave from there.

Just then Sameer stopped her and said to Somya. - "Somya, where are you going? Don't you want to meet my friends?"

Somya did not want to stay here anyway, but how could she refuse in front of everyone. So she looked at Sameer and said yes, then Sameer started introducing her to his friends.

Sameer introduced her to all his friends, then it was the turn of the girl who had held Sameer's arms, seeing her Somya's heart started beating fast, then she started pleading in her mind that Sameer should not say anything about this girl that hurts her.

For a few moments Sameer kept looking at Somya, then he started looking at the girl whom he had brought here, then looking at that girl he said in a calm voice. - "This is Disha, like all these, she is also my close friend."

Somya's eyes started shining because it was not at all like what she had thought. Somya's face was glowing with happiness as if she had found something precious that she had lost again. Then Somya smiled and said without delay extending her hand. - "nice to meet you disha"

Disha also said smilingly extending her hand. - "Somya, I am also happy to meet you....

The restlessness that was in Somya's mind earlier was no longer visible on her face, happiness was shining in its place and this happiness was not hidden from Sameer too.

Here Aadhya started trying to keep herself busy with everyone so that she does not have to stay with Dev, but it is said that if someone has bad luck, then no one can stop bad things from happening to him. Just understand that at this time Aadhya's luck is bad.

Aadhya with her friends She was standing in the middle of the stage when Rohit came there again and looking at Aadhya said, "It is your and Dev bhai's turn for the dance performance so come with me."

Aadhya felt like running away from here or else hide in a place where no one can find her. Aadhya started to panic thinking about Dev and started to rub her hands together. Her distress was clearly visible on her face.

Rohit was standing there and seeing Aadhya lost in some thought, he spoke in a mischievous tone. - "Will you come yourself or should I bring Dev Bhai here..?

Aadhya started shaking her head in haste, refusing Rohit.

Anyway, neither Dev nor Aadhya felt like dancing. Aadhya wanted to stay away from Dev. Because Aadhya thought Dev was no less than an animal. Dev was angry anyway.

And Rohit smiled and said, extending his hand forward. - "Then come with me on stage."

Aadhya put her hand on Rohit's hand with great difficulty to put a fake smile on her face and then started going with Rohit, although she was afraid of going near Dev. Because she started remembering Dev's deeds, she started feeling strange fear of Dev, although she used to give a befitting reply to Dev. Still, Dev was a stubborn person who used to do things according to his own will, so it was justified for Aadhya to be afraid of Dev.

On the other hand, Dev's eyebrows were wrinkled and Attitude was always there on his face. Dev kept looking at his watch again and again. Dev had clearly refused to dance but even at this time Urmila was angry with Dev and she told Dev not to do anything in front of everyone that would make fun of the family. After all Dev was Urmila's son. So how can a mother not recognize her son. She knew very well what kind of a person Dev was.

Dev was waiting for Aadhya on the stage. So that he could finish his performance quickly and then leave from here.

' Rohit came on the stage with Aadhya and said extending Aadhya's hand in front of Dev. - "Take this brother, your trust and good luck. Give your best so that everyone's eyes do not move away from you."

Dev did not reply to Rohit. Rohit knew his brother's habit very well, so he did not react much. Rohit went down from the stage and after he left, Dev pulled Aadhya towards himself and as soon as the music started, Dev started dancing with Aadhya without any emotion.

Aadhya also started feeling uncomfortable while dancing with Dev but she kept the smile on her face because everyone's squinting eyes were fixed on both of them.

The music was romantic. But both of them did not have feelings for each other in their hearts, so the dance also seemed lifeless. But everyone was watching both of them dancing from a distance. And seeing the normal expressions on both of their faces, everyone felt that this is a perfect pair, while there was something else inside.

Dev finished the dance performance with Aadhya with great difficulty, then he started to move forward without leaving Aadhya's hand, but stopped while thinking something, then looking at Aadhya, he came two steps closer to Aadhya and extended his hand forward,

There were many people present there, seeing this nature of Dev, everyone started clapping, the echo of which was reaching Aadhya's ears, Aadhya understood after seeing Dev that Dev did this to show off to everyone,

which meant nothing to her. Usually Aadhya never puts her hand on Dev's hand, but she was helpless, so she reluctantly put her hand on Dev's hand and Dev came down taking Aadhya with him without saying anything.

Dev came down and made Aadhya stand in front of him and went from there, looking at Dev, Aadhya said angrily. - "Is he a human being or a chameleon, how does someone change his color so quickly, a chameleon would be better than this, at least it would have taken some time to change its color, but this ah."

Adhya was not able to understand Dev. Dev was beyond her understanding. Why wouldn't he because Dev used to get angry at her in private and would do formalities in front of everyone.

Adhya was thinking about this and started going to where her mother was standing when one of Sameer's friends stopped her and said - "Adhya can you dance with me...?"

Adhya started looking at Sameer's friend. Seeing the excitement on that boy's face, she could not refuse and agreed to dance with him.

Meanwhile, Dev went to the same place and sat on an empty chair and the expressions on Dev's face were normal.

Dev did not know that Sagar was sitting on the chair behind him and Sagar's eyes were on the dancing Adhya and that boy.

Sagar looked at Dev and said smilingly - "Well, it would not matter to you that your future wife is dancing with someone else."

Hearing this, Dev turned back and started looking at Sagar, Sagar started pointing Dev towards the front. And Dev took his eyes off Sagar and started looking ahead.

In front, many boys and girls were doing couple dance with their partners and in the middle, Aadhya was dancing with some other boy. That boy had kept his hand on Aadhya's open waist. That boy was dancing very close to Aadhya.

That boy had kept his hand on Aadhya's open waist and that boy was dancing very close to Aadhya.

Seeing this, Dev's fists started clenching so much that the veins of his hands started showing.

And Sagar said, keep quiet.
