Drishya and Afsana were on stage, and Afsana’s eyes were locked entirely on him. Hearing him credit her so beautifully for his massive success made her heart overflow with pure joy. After wrapping up his speech, Drishya extended his hand toward Afsana and spoke into the microphone, “Mere paas aao. (Come to me.)”

Nervously, Afsana glanced around at the massive crowd filling the hall. Sensing her hesitation, Drishya reassured her gently, “Yahan tumhein judge karne wala koi nahi hai, mere paas aao. (No one is here to judge you, come to me.)” Taking a deep breath, Afsana placed her hand in his and stepped up to stand right by his side.
