Shanaya's words were the cue for everyone to start getting ready at the stroke of 7 pm, and they quickly made their way to the party location they had previously agreed on. This was the first time Rudra and Mira were going to meet Aakash, so when Shanaya suggested they approach him, both felt nervous. But Rudra managed to muster up the courage and approached Aakash, who greeted him warmly and engaged him in conversation with great enthusiasm.

"So, how did you first meet her?" Rudra asked, smiling while Aakash passed him a drink, "It was on a dating app. We talked and then we felt connected and then we exchanged our phone numbers and then more talks," Aakash carried a loving smile on his face as he recalled those memories.
