AUTHOR'S POV

"Di…. had come here last night and after that, I talked to her about so many things....  I didn't realize that we talked all night and slept in the morning…. And in the morning both of us got very scolded by maa because she had to go to college to teach, I had to go to college to study and both of us felt so tired that if we had seen the bed further, we would have fallen asleep again ...."

Raunak is smiling listening to her words as she continues to speak in her own rhythm and Raunak is just watching her sitting quietly with placing his hands under his chin, she has a quite faint smile on her face, and Raunak is only able to see her face because today she has fixed the camera in such a way that she can sit on the dressing and get ready and Raunak can only look at her face.

"You told me that you would need my help in selecting the accessories…..  But you are getting ready.... Do you select everything without my help..."

She looks at him while checking her lipstick shades and she answers him trying to end her conversation too.

"I select everything myself… I am good at everything….."

He chuckles at this, he wants to look at her properly but he is not able to look at her so he quickly tries to check her but fails again, so asks her.

"And just bother to tell me why you have set the phone like this today?...."

Ruhi stops whatever she is doing and starts looking at Raunak from the corner of her eyes and she does not understand what to tell Raunak. She diverted the topic while checking her shades again, Raunak keenly noticed everything. She is trying to avoid him today.

"Look I need to go…. Bye, talk to you later…"

Raunak senses her lie and situation and immediately tells her.

"Ruhi fix the camera right away and show me yourself. I want to see you well, which dress you are wearing for the party….."

She gulps down a lump and her breath stucks in her throat. She inhales strong breaths and says,

"I am getting late so bye for now….. "

"Ruhiiii…. "

Raunak shouts in a very loud voice, due to which Ruhi gets nervous too. Raunak has never spoken to her in a loud voice to date. But his voice is going to scare her today, she is already feeling very nervous today but she immediately looks away and says in a meek voice

"Di already scolded me…… "

The expressions on Raunak's face start changing. He knows that Shravya will never scold Ruhi for no reason, so he immediately tells her to tone down his voice a little harder.

"Ruhi fix your phone….. "

"Raunak..."

"Ruhi I am asking you something...."

He says softly but emphasizes his words quite loudly, She presses her lips between her teeth and slowly starts getting up while fixing her phone properly, Raunak can see her in a very good way. He starts squeezing his fist into a tight ball and clenches his jaw very hard, his veins pop out from his forehead.

Ruhi's eyes are sloppy down because he is checking out her with his sharp eyes. She tries to hide herself lightly by bringing her hands up to her bosom which are flaunted from her dress and make her nervous too, she feels his eyes on herself very comfortably. Raunak is watching her every move very well. He shouts.

"Why are you hiding yourself…. "

She flinched at his hard tone and did not like it at all, she immediately cut the call and lay on her stomach, and started crying. Anyone did not like the one who know you talking to you like this at all. Her heart is unable to accept the fact that Raunak has spoken to her in such a bad way.

Within minutes, Raunak calls her again, but Ruhi doesn't pick it up at all, she gets out of bed, fixes her dress, and presses the silent mode button on her phone. Due to crying, her make-up has got spoiled a bit. So she starts fixing her makeup because she knows it in no time her friends will come to pick her up.

Raunak is continuously calling her but she is not picking up the phone but regularly looking at his name which flashing on the screen. She's just waiting for her friends and checking herself in the mirror. Then a message appears on her screen, which is also from Raunak, she starts reading Raunak's message even though she does not want to. Ruhi starts reading his message aloud.

"If you don't pick up my phone after reading this message, I will call your sister. After that don't tell me at all why I did this?.....

She presses her lips together tightly and rubs her arm, feeling nervous because of the message, and mumbles.

"I don't want to talk to you."

Ruhi's phone starts ringing again. She knows it is Raunak's call, but she doesn't want to pick it up. It rings for a while and off after a while. She hasn't picked up the phone but she's scared. He will definitely call his sister in a few minutes. So she immediately calls Raunak herself. Raunak shouts at her as soon as he picks up the phone.

"Why didn't you video call….. "

"Why are you shouting….."

"I am converting it by video call, talk to me when I am looking into your eyes…. "

"No…. "

"Ruhi…. "

He calls out her name a little louder, she is feeling more nervous, so she replies to him in the same pinch of voice.

"I don't want to talk to you…."

"And I don't want you to behave like a fool…. I am connecting via video call now talk to me ...."

He video called her, she connected it but didn't look at him. She did not like Raunak's screaming like this at all, but she did not want to say anything to him at this time, so she was thinking of leaving quietly, so she quickly said.

"I have to go…."

"Look at me…."

His dominating voice quite bothers her very much, Ruhi, who is always eager to fight with him, can't seem to get a single word out of her mouth that can defend herself. She nervously said.

"Raunak I need to go…. "

"You are not going anywhere in this dress…."

Ruhi does not like this thing of Raunak at all but she does not look at him and immediately replies to him.

"I am going, even Di tries to stop me when she is not able to stop me. Who are you to interfere in my life…."

Ruhi is not looking at him at all and is telling him all these things while bowing to her head down. Raunak becomes completely silent and starts listening to Ruhi's words, when she does not hear any voice from Raunak's side, she raises her eyes and looks at him. But immediately bent down her eyes.

"How can you be comfortable in front of so many people when you are not comfortable in front of me? …..  What your friends are wearing shouldn't be your lookout…..  Your lookout should be only what you are comfortable in…. You know very well what you are and you are much better than those people....  You don't have to show yourself like them just to show them … you are best so no need to prove anything to anyone."

She quickly raises her eyes and looks at Raunak. He is looking at her continuously. She explained a lot to Raunak without saying anything. He smiles and replies to her.

"You are Ruhi who narrates her words to the world and not torture yourself with random people's words…. Go change your dress and wear something in which you are comfortable, not show anyone that you are one of them….. I am waiting here …. Come on …. Change quickly….."

She smiles lightly because she understands whatever he says and replies to him with worry.

"But she challenged me…."

"Is any challenge more important than your comfort level… There is nothing wrong with this dress. There is nothing wrong with any dress. As long as the wearer of it feels comfortable in that dress…… You are at home now and when you know that you were not able to stand yourself in front of me even though you know that I am not going to tell you anything about any dress, then how will you stand confidently there in front of others?.... In between a crowd ….. you are not comfortable because you don't like yourself in that dress….. I want my confident Ruhi…. If you think that you will be able to meet the best at the party with the same confidence which is always with you, then you can wear this dress and go comfortably. I have no problem, but I don't want to see any kind of nervousness on your face…..."

She is very uncomfortable in exposing dresses. It is not that she has any problem with someone wearing such clothes, but she doesn't find herself comfortable in revealing dresses. She smiles and says cutely.

"But you scold me badly today..."

"Because I am angry with your stupid behavior.... I am saying it again loudly YOU ARE RUHI.... And you have your own thinking about choices... But you are making me angry by showing yourself like others that you don't like yourself.... "

She smiles lightly, she is still sitting there while covering herself but she knows she doesn't need it at all because there is only respect for her in his eyes.

"Help me …. Because I don't understand at all. Which dress am I wearing at the moment?..."

"Ok show me your dresses….. "

They both quickly select a dress. After disconnecting his call she is immediately ready in that dress and looks at herself in the mirror, she smiles widely and calls him again.

"Look, how am I looking in this dress?..."

Raunak's attention is not on anything but fixed on her smile. He smiles and tells her without wasting a single second in any nonsense.

"You are so beautiful…. Come early from the party. I am waiting because I want to know how many compliments you get there?... "

She laughs loudly, but she likes this tone of Raunak which is very familiar. She feels very comfortable now, she waves her hand and disconnects her phone call. Here Raunak smiles like he is very happy but a very annoying expression comes on his face suddenly and he looks at Ruhi's photo and says.

"I need a cold shower… "

He immediately ran towards the shower.

Here is an update. I hope you like it. Please let me know.

Raunak understands her nervousness.

Even if you are not comfortable in something, is it right for you to do that thing for someone else?....

Stay safe and keep smiling.
