Ananya's POV :-
Today all are going to shift in hotel so I got up at 7 and did my morning chores aa I have to go to hotel first to keep my luggage and then have to go to airport to receive Rehana and my family.

When I came to the dinning room I saw Armaan's family having breakfast so even I joined them.

"All of you get your bags within 10 minutes in the living room so that we can go to hotel and then go to receive Rehana and her family from airport", Armaan's dad said.

"Ok but only you and Armaan can go and receive them as we will be in hotel to welcome them", Armaan's mom said.

"Aunty even I will go with them", I said.

"Ok", aunty said.

We had our breakfast and then we left for hotel. Simran and I are sharing a room which is just next to Rehana's room. Mom and dad will be staying at our own house in Jhodhpur.

I and Armaan went in one car to receive Rehana and uncle came in another car with two other cars following them.

I could see Armaan is very desperate to meet Rehana as they have not meet each other from a long time. We heared the announcement of landing of the plan so we went near the exit.
As soon as Rehana saw Armaan she came running towards him and hugged him.

I meet mine and Rehana's parents and Simran. We all settled in cars. Armaan in driving seat and Rehana in passengers seat while Simran and I were in back seat.

"I missed you so much Armaan", Rehana said.

"I missed you too baby", Armaan said.

"Guys I have a surprise for you both"; I said.

"What it is", Rehana asked.

"I have planned a date for you both tonight at hotel vivanta so get ready by 7. You can spent some time with each other as boyfriend girlfriend for the last time before you become husband wife", I said with a smile.

"I love you Annie, you are the best and thank you for this", Rehana said.

"Thank you Ananya, we really needed this", Armaan said.

We reached the hotel and I could see that all the ladies from Armaan's side where standing near the entrance. We got down from car and Rehana took her dupatta on her head and went towards the door of the hotel.

Armaan's mom did her aarti and then Harshita di gave her a bouquet and then she is made to come in.

Whole day passed just like that by talking , laughing and eating. It is already 5 and Rehana should get ready by 7 so I went to her room taking the dress which I brought for her to wear today.

Knock..knock..
Aunty opened the door after 2 minutes.

"Aunty why is she slepping",I asked aunty as soon as I came near her bed.

"She has got fever so she is sleeping", aunty informed me.

"What ? But she was alright till morning and did you call the doctor"?i asked.

"Ya doctor said she will be fine till tomorrow , she just needs some rest nothing to worry ",aunty said.

"Ok, aunty you take some rest I am there with Rehana", I said.

"Ok beta", aunty said and went to her room.

After closing the door I called Armaan and told him to come to Rehana's room as soon as possible. He said he will be there in 15 minutes as he is busy with his cousions.

After half an hour Rehana opened her eyes and even I heared a knock on door. I opened the door and saw Armaan looking at me with a puzzled look. I told him to come in.

"Hey Rehana, why are you sleeping at this hour?"Armaan asked.

"She is suffering from fever", I answered.

"What? Come let's go to doctor",Armaan said.

"Chill don't take tension,it's just a normal fever and doctor has already prescribed some medicines, she will be fine by tomorrow", I informed Armaan.

"Ok", he said taking Rehana's hand in his hand.

"Hey are you feeling good", I asked her.

"Ya I am fine now", Rehana said.

"When did you come here", she asked me.

"Half an hour back to give you the dress which you had to wear today but when I came here aunty informed me that you are not well so now your date is cancelled", I said.

"Who said date is cancelled?, Rehana asked .

"Are you gone mad? You are not well and you want to go on a date", I said.

"I am not going on a date , it is you who is going on a dinner", Rehana said.

"What ? And with whom I am going on dinner", I asked Rehana.

"Ofcourse with Armaan", Rehana said.

As soon as she said that we both shouted "what" in unison.

"Chill guys you will make me deaf,if you scream like this", Rehana said.

"See guys already all the preparations are done and then why to waste money simply? So you both go and enjoy", Rehana said.

"But Rehana I have planned this for you both and you  don't think about money", I said.

"It's ok go na Ananya it's my command so you both are going now, no more arguments", Rehana said.

It is waste to argue with Rehana so Armaan and I decided to go on dinner at 7. As it is already 6 so I went to get ready. I wore red knee length dress which I brought for Rehana today. I kept my hair open and wore a simple diamond earings and a braclet. I did minimum makeup. Though it is just a dinner but for me it is my first and last date with my love.

I went to the entrance of the hotel and saw Armaan is waiting for me.

"Hi ", I said.

"Hi, you look beautiful", Armaan said.

"Thank you , even you look handsome",I said.

Armaan has wore black denims with white t-shirt and black leather jacket.

We reached the hotel in 15 minutes. Armaan gave the keys to the valet and then we went inside the hotel hand in hand. Manager showed us the hall where all the romantic setup is been done.

"Wow Ananya , it's awesome", Armaan said.

Hall is decorated with red balloons, flowers and candles. There is a table for 2 in between which has champenge placed in between. Soft romantic songs are been playing in the background.

Armaan took me to the table and we sat facing each other.

"Ananya let's forget that I am getting married to your best friend for some time and enjoy this evening as lovers", Armaan said.

"Well then I should thank god that my one and only wish came true of being your lover", I said.

"Oohh so this Is your wish of being my lover", Armaan asked.

"Ya off course, which girl in her right senses will not want you as her lover or husband. You have all the things which a girl wants in her life partner", I told him.

"Ohh well I am obliged to know this and even a guy who will get you as his wife will be the luckest one", Armaan said.

"Armaan if you and Rehana wouldn't be in love then would you get married to me", I asked him.

"Ofcourse Ananya this is not even a question to ask. My whole family loves you, so I would have said yes to marry you", Armaan said.

"Then it would be better if you have never meet Rehana. Today we would not be pretaining like lovers but would actually be lovers as i really love you and soon even you would fall in love with me", I said.

Armaan didn't say anything for next few minutes , he is just looking at me with shocked expressions.

"Ananya what has happened to you yaar? Why are you cracking such stupid jokes yaar from past 2 days", Armaan said.

"I am not cracking any joke it is true that I love you", I said.

"If you seriously love me then why did you agree for arranging my marriage with Rehana , as I know it is very difficult to see the person you love  getting married to someone else ", Armaan asked.

" Well sometimes you have to do  things which makes your loved one happy and have to keep them as your priority rather then your own happiness", I said.

"Tell Annaya it is a joke right, you don't love me na", Armaan asked.

"And what if I say it is true that I love you then?"I asked him.

"Then I will die of guilt that you were in so much pain when I was the happiest person in my life " Armaan said looking at me with sad face.

"Chill Armaan I was just joking and no one is so great in this world to sacrifice ones own happiness for some other person",I told him.

Soon waiter brought out dinner which included all the dishes liked by Armaan and Rehana. We completed our dinner with lots of chit chatting and Armaan cracking lame jokes and me laughing.

Armaan came towards me and sat on his knees in front of me.

"Will you dance with me Ananya", Armaan asked.

I gave my hand to him and then we started dancing on romantic song. We didn't break the eye contact even for once. His arms were the safest place to be. We were dancing as if it is our hobby to dance with each other everyday. My heart is beating in double speed, i am sure even he could hear my heart beats. I am getting goosebumps by this closness.We danced for some more time and then we sat on the chairs as we were tired.

"Armaan look there is a guitar, please sing a song for me", I told him.

"No today you are going to sing a song for me and it is my request", Armaan said .

I said ok and then took the guitar.

"Armaan this song is dedicated to you as you are the love of my life", I said while laughing.

Tu aata hai seene mein,
Jabh jabh saasein bharti hoon,
Tere dil ki galiyon se,
Mein har roz guzarti hoon,
(You come into the heart,
Whenever I inhale,
From the streets of your heart ,
I pass everyday)

Hawaa ke jaisa chalta hai tu,
Mein ret jaisa udti hoon,
Kaun tujha Yoon pyaar karega
Jaisa mein karti hoon
(You move like the wind,
I fly like sand
Who would love you
Like I do)

Meri nazar ka safar,
Tujhpa hi aake ruke
Kehne ko baaqi hai kya
Kehna tha joh keh chuke
(The journey of my sight
Stops at you only
Is there anything more to say
Everything that had to be said is said)

Meri nigahein hai teri nigahon ki,
Tujhe khabhar kya be-khabar
(My eyes belongs to your eyes
What do you know you unaware one)

Main tujhse hi chup chup kar,
Teri aankhen padti hoon,
Kaun tujha Yoon pyaar karega
Jaisa mein karti hoon
(I hide from you only
And read your eyes
Who will love you
Like the way I love you)

I opened my eyes when I saw Armaan clapping his hands with a bright smile.

"Wow Ananya today I can say that Rehana was right , you sing much better then me", Armaan said.

"Thank you", I said.

"Chalo let's go now , it's getting late", Armaan said.

We both left the place and enjoyed the car ride. We reached the hotel in half an hour.

"Ananya I really enjoyed our date and thanks for planning it", Armaan said with a smile.

"I am glad that you liked it", I told him.

"Ananya you are sure na you don't have feelings for me right ", Armaan asked me while we were going towards my room.

"And if I say I have feeling for you then will you stop this marriage with Rehana and will marry me", I asked him.

"No I can't do that but I will feel bad that's it ", he said.

"Don't worry you shouldn't feel bad and now go and sleep it's getting late", I told him.

"Good night sweet dreams",Armaan said.

"Good night sweet dreams", I told him and he left from there and i went in the room.

I changed into my night dress and came to bed. This is the best day of my life. Even if I die today then there will be no regrets. I even confessed my feelings for him. This one day has given me all the happiness which I will cherish for years. With a smile on my face I slept.
