(A WEEK LATER)

Adorned in a stunning black dress that clung elegantly to every curve, Taara stood before the mirror, her reflection a mix of nerves and anticipation.

Today marked the pivotal moment when she would finally meet Mr. Rajvansh, the man destined by her parents.

Descending the stairs of the majestic Raichand mansion, she was greeted by her mother's warm smile, who delicately placed the auspicious black dot on her earlobe.

"You look stunning, Beta," her mother whispered with pride. "Kabir will be here any minute," she added, her voice tinged with excitement.

A honk outside announced his arrival. "It must be Kabir," Taara's mother said, encouraging her daughter with a gentle push. "Go, beta, and enjoy your date!

Arjun, her trusted friend or brother, enveloped her in a reassuring hug, echoing hermother's sentiment.

Stepping into the twilight, Taara spotted a sleek black SUV waiting nearby. As she approached, a figure emerged from the shadows, his features initially obscured.

A surge of anticipation mixed with apprehension coursed through her as he stepped into the light, revealing himself to her.

The moment he stepped forward, a wave of recognition washed over me, sending my heart into a frenzy. (Hairat) ( surprise ).

It was him-the man whose piercing gaze had often invaded my dreams, now standing before me in all his arresting glory.

His presence was magnetic, drawing me in like a moth to flame.Dressed immaculately in a three-piece suit that accentuated his stature, he exuded a commanding yet effortlessly charismatic aura.

His tousled brown hair added a rugged charm to his otherwise composed appearance, and when his lips curved into a faint smile, a rush of warmth spread through me.

His masculine scent mingled with the evening air, intoxicating and alluring. I found myself captivated, lost in a whirlwind of emotions that I struggled to contain.

Before I could collect my thoughts, his deep voice broke through the haze, sending a shiver down my spine."You are here, Miss Raichand," he said, his voice a velvet undertone that resonated within me.

Confusion momentarily clouded my mind. Kabir was supposed to be here-why was this stranger standing before me, claiming to be him?

"You are..." I started, my words faltering.With a smirk, he closed the gap between us, his presence both reassuring and enigmatic.

"Kabir Rajvansh," he declared in a low, confident tone.

"K-Kabir Rajvansh," I repeated softly, the syllables feeling strangely familiar yet tinged with uncertainty.

As I met his gaze, I detected a glint of amusement-a shared secret perhaps hidden in those eyes.

(Kabir's POV)

The way she uttered my name sent a jolt of anticipation through me. Taara looked breathtakingly beautiful in her black dress, her doe-like eyes holding a depth that stirred something primal within me.(NOOR, MERI NOOR) .

Her ebony locks cascaded around her shoulders, framing a face that was both delicate and fiercely independent and her red, luscious lips were inviting me to...

I shook away those thoughts and composed myself.

"Let's get going," I suggested, moving to open the car door for her, only to be met with a swift refusal that spoke volumes of her determination.

"I can do it myself, Mr. Rajvansh," she asserted, her eyes sparkling with defiance.

Her spirit amused and intrigued me in equal measure.

"My stubborn kitten," I thought to myself, admiring her strength.

"It's Kabir for you, Miss Raichand," I responded with a hint of admiration, acknowledging her spirited independence.

As she settled into the car, her gaze continued to challenge me, a playful defiance that added to her allure. "Then it's Taara for you, Mr. Rajvansh," she quipped, her voice laced with a mixture of amusement and intrigue.

Closing the door behind her, I couldn't ignore the surge of excitement that pulsed through me, an undeniable anticipation of the evening ahead.

Starting the engine, I cast a glance at her, feeling a connection that transcended the formality of our arranged meeting.

This night promised to be unforgettable, the beginning of a journey that held secrets, revelations, and perhaps, against all odds, the stirrings of something beyond mere duty.(Kismat)( luck ).
