Bab 161: Cookie Crumble Ice Cream - 3

"I wouldn't miss seeing you in that dress for anything in the world".

She lifted her eyes and looked up at him and asked,

"Really?"

"Really !!!", he said and then cupped her face in his right palm and kissed softly on her forehead and sighed.

"What?", she asked all tenderly and curiously.

"Nothing", he said but his mind was running wild worrying about the whole battle that he was fighting for her sake. He wanted to expose Vikram as soon as possible but it was so hard for him to even think of breaking her tiny heart. He was torn between the tug of war. The look in her eyes and the excitement in her voice clearly told him how important that Gala night was for her. So he resolved to wait until Sunday night before he pulled the mask off from Vikram's face.

"Tell me what are you thinking?", she asked tugging on to the lapel of his jacket.

"Well, I was just thinking that someone made me buy ice cream dead in the night but she isn't even bothered to eat it".
