The hall was decorated in an uptrend with standing tables occasioned at most parts, while a huge space stood for the guests to stand. It was looking more like a showcase where guests had to come to drink wines, watch a show and leave. A woman walked across the hall as workers were still assembling decorations. She was bitter and it was all evident on her face. She reached out to a connected wire and tiptoed towards it with a plier she hid beneath her dress. She was going to chop at it so that midway during the party, there would be a power outage. It wasn't much but at least it would be something for her to do to disrupt the plans the Jaiswals had for their party. "What do you think you're about to do?" She was stopped and immediately as she turned to shout on the worker that ha the audacity to ask her such a blatant question, she was surprised and almost lost balance from the shock on seeing Mrs. Jaiswal.

As the applause died down, Maya came down from the podium and she and Arun made their way off beaming with smiles. The crowd began to disperse, with some guests making their way to the buffet table, while others headed to the bar to drink while some stayed back to watch the entertainment.Jasmine still seething with anger watched as Maya and Arun were mobbed by reporters and well-wishers.

"She acts so pompous a

Marshal saw a woman leaving the hall. The hairstyle was in a bun, but had a special appeal with the way it was scattered into a wolf cut and the bottom. There was only one woman he knew who could do that but he hadn't informed her of the party yet he couldn't let her walk away without checking the possibility of his thoughts being true. "Jasmine" he called out once near the figure.Jasmine stopped and turned. It was Marshal atleast. "You came" his voice came barely above a whisper "Didn't you want me to come before?" She joked while smiling. " You don't have to smile even while you're hurting" Marshal said knowing fully well that the smile she was plastering on her face was a facade. Her face might have changed but she was still the woman he knew and fell inlove with years ago. She was still the woman he watched over for years studying though he always got shunned out. "I'm sorry" his voice came above the noise in the hall, as loud as he could make them. "Please. I'm sure you
