The wedding concludes and the bride and the groom leave for the suite booked for them in the same resort.
All of us move back to our rooms.
I close the bathroom door and take off my dupatta and keep it aside on the chair placed inside.
I walk towards the sink and look at myself in the mirror.
I think of all that has happened since we came for the wedding.
Meeting Rajveer Rathore
The engagement day when we met
Then the haldi ceremony where he held my wrist and I smeared haldi on his cheeks
Him not doing the same
Then at the mehendi he came to me and glared at the man as if he could see I was uncomfortable
Then at the wedding he was looking at me while we walked down the aisle
And the joota chupai when he agreed to my demands and
Saali hai aap Reyhan ki,haq hai aapka
And I don't know why whenever we meet he does something which makes me feel different about him and see him more as a man and less as Geet's brother in law.
I take off my clothes and take a shower.
Wearing my nightsuit I walk out.
I wear my glasses and pick up the coffee I ordered and walk outside to the common balcony.
I sit on the chair and sip my coffee.
Tomorrow we'll start with the after wedding rituals.
And then we'll go back. It was a great change . More like a vacation.
I hear some footsteps and look past my shoulder to see him.
He's showered since his hair seems wet and is wearing black shirt and some sweatpants.
He smiled at me and came to sit beside me.
I smiled back and look down at my cup.
"Coffee right now?",he asked.
I look at him and hum.
"Do you have to read some case?",he asks.
I chuckle and shook my head.
"No,I do not read cases at night",I said.
"I don't have a lawyer in my family,so...I don't really know about their profession",he said and smirked.
"We'll you'll hear from Geet about our profession",I said.
"You can tell me too",he said.
I frowned at him and turned to look at lights lit up around the balcony.
I hear someone talk and look at my uncle and aunt strolling in the garden.
" does everyone in your family case studies at night?",he asked.
"We Mathur's are like this",I reply with smugness.
"Aapko nhi lagta Rathore behter hai?",he said.
I turned to look at him and saw him looking in the front.
"Are you flirting with me Mr. Rathore?",I asked.
"What if I say yes I am Ms. Mathur",he said and turned to look at me.
Our faces were close and I looked at his eyes looking into mine and then looking at my lips.
I cleared my throat and moved back.
"We did not really get to know each other,so I'm Rajveer",he said and forwarded his hand for handshake.
I look at him smiled.
I shook his hands and said,"Kiara".
"So Kiara, what did you think of me when we first met?",he asked.
I raised my eyebrows and asked,
"Met?,or more like you stared at me".
He chuckled.
"I just thought that-",I stop as I look at him and think.
Your eyes are pulling me towards you
"That?",he asked.
"Umm,that you are bit weird",I said.
He frowns at me and I resist the urge to chuckle.
"What did you think?",I asked him.
"The most gorgeous woman I've ever seen",he said.
I turned to look at him,bewildered at what he said.
"Anyways,tell me something about your profession",he asked.
"My family has a history of lawyers,and I wanted to follow their footsteps.
It's fascinating how you could help someone get justice and you can be the knight in shining armor for someone.
The fact that people believe that you know the laws so nobody can challenge you on that,it's amazing",I said.
I saw him looking at me and listening to everything I said.
He looked so focused.
It made me feel special because he was giving all his attention to I am saying and the fact that he is actually interested to know about me making me feel butterflies.
"Now tell me something about yourself?",I asked him.
"I am in my first year of MBA. And after this I'll be joining our textile business",he said.
"How old are you?",I ask him.
"23",he said.
"Oh,I'm 20",I said.
"Whats your favorite movie?",he asked.
"Are we playing 21 questions?",I chuckled and asked.
"Aap kahengi toh vo bhi khel lenge",he said.
I blushed and looked in the front.
"Why do you call me aap?,I am younger than you",I said.
"But you did not give me the right to call you informally. Moreover as a woman you deserve respect and we did not have conversations,thats why",he said.
I look at him with amusement.
"So?",he asked.
I looked at him confusingly.
"My question?"he said.
"I don't have any",I said.
He nods and I ask "My turn ,what's your favorite color?".
"Brown",he looked into my eyes and said.
I nod at him and then he asked," Do you believe in soul mates?".
"Not really,do you?",I asked.
"I did not either but now I do",he looked into my eyes and said.
"Why now?",I whispered.
He does not reply and stared at me.
"Do you like me Mr. Rathore?",I ask him.
He looks at me stunned and does not reply.
I scoff at him and I stand up and move past him to walk out when I feel him holding my wrist.
I turn back to look at him.
He pulls me towards him and I slam into him.
I look into his eyes and gasp. They are a shade darker. There is intensity and determination in his eyes. His jaw clenched. He looks at me and said,
"I like the way you stare at me with curiosity and I like how you smile because it lights up my world. I like that you are so confident about yourself. I like how your hands fit right into mine.
I like the way your waist fits right in my arms. And I hate when other men look at you. You are the first woman to keep me hooked to you and If you think this is me liking you then,I like you Kiara Mathur".
