She was trembling.

Whether it was her angst at seeing Mastaan flirt with another woman, the fear of being spotted with him by the entire royal gathering, or simply the nervous excitement of being alone with her man for the first time - Fay was shivering with anxiety.

Mastaan stepped forward and took both her hands in his own. He bent towards her to look into her deep blue eyes that appeared a hypnotic silver-grey in the auburn hue of the night.

‘Thank you for coming to see me, F...’ said Mastaan, unsure if he could call the refined English girl by her name just yet.

She stayed quiet for a moment, slowly slipped her fingers out of Mastaan’s hands and turned away, looking blankly into the cityscape.

The long-haired Bandookbaaz was now at a loss of ideas. Before he could think of what to say or do next, Fay spoke softly, still looking away.

‘You can call me Fay.’

For a moment he could not grasp what she had just said, after which he broke into a quiet smile. These words came as a big relief for Mastaan.

Fay could sense what was going on in his mind. Nonetheless, he knew she was deeply upset. Even though it meant nothing to Mastaan, Manglo’s act of pecking on his ears could not have looked innocent even to the most trusting onlooker. And Fay did not even know him well.

‘What you saw is not what it appears to be, Fay. Yes, I knew this girl a couple of years ago. Yes, she continues to be a friend even today... but that is all. There is nothing between us!’

A moment of silence was followed by the question Mastaan was dreading.

‘Have you been with her, Mastaan?’

Mastaan knew what Fay was asking. He could have lied to her. But he did not. Not to his Fay.

‘Yes,’ he said, with a sigh. ‘But that was more than two years ago. That was when I did not even imagine someone like you will walk into my life, Fay. I don’t even know what you feel for me, or whether you feel anything for me at all. Everything is different now. Just a few meetings... a few hours with you seem to have changed me forever. It is only you now, Fay. Just you.

And please don’t get me wrong. I know you probably don’t even love me... the way I have begun to love you, but it does not matter. I don’t think I will be able to love anyone again for the rest of my...’

She turned, went up on her toes and pressed her soft lips on his.

‘Shhhh...’ she whispered, and put her arms around Mastaan’s shoulders, caressingly gripping his beautiful hair with her fingers, gently taking his lower lip into her warm mouth.
