On Saturday afternoon.......

Anusha's POV

I was struggling with the zip of my dress which was on the back, reaching out to the chain hook at the back is the toughest job one would ever come across.
Normally nowadays we have zippers near the armpits till the waist but the dress was exceptional.

Finally once I was done with the desired end, I looked at myself in the mirror, to judge my appearance. I was looking good, actually beautiful.

I was aware patel shades suit me, only formality needed was to make my mother believe.

I'd done complete makeup, for the first time in my life within half an hour, from foundation to the lipstick. I had my hair tied in a messy yet fashionable-bun.

Once I thought I was perfect only when I took a breath. No one was home to help me, I cleaned, cooked and dressed all by myself.

It took me 3 hours to get ready. That's being the reason me dreading make overs.

I would be fast done if only Ayusha was home to help me out.

The dress Neena aunty has selected for me actually suiting me, fitting me like a glove.

It was rose gold in colour, an elegant gown. The dress had a sweetheart neckline exposing my shoulder blades and collar, the lower part of the dress  long and flared, reaching down till the floor.

The doorbell ringed.

I looked at the wall clock it was 4:30 in the afternoon and he was supposed to be here by then.

With my hands turning cold suddenly, I was feeling really nervous.

Will he like how I am looking? Am I looking any perfect?  Were the only questions playing in my mind.

Taking a deep breath to tame my nervousness I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time, quickly wearing the diamond studs-that I forget to wear earlier.
Leaving the mirror I made my way to the front doors.

(Anusha's Outfit)

I checked through the peep hole, it was Him actually. The man quality time.
Smiling awkwardly I opened the door and remained stunned.

The man in front of me took my breath away, he was looking extremely handsome, wearing a three-piece black Armani suit with a white shirt beneath.

The suit working as a describing element for him.

Everything about him was reflecting power and wealth. He was perfect. He has a perfect body, attractive personality and all the looks a girl could ever ask for. I noticed.

Drool-worthy I must say- Sapna and Radhika would be jealous of me if they see this man.

(Siddharth's outfit)

Soon the realization hit me hard, I was checking him out, I was left embarrassed to death once again,

Why it is always like this, whenever I'm in front of him?

Dying in shyness I lift my head up to look at him, he had smirk glued on his face.
But his eyes were busy trailing up and down my body, he was also checking me out.

Way to feed my ego.

The look of approval flashed on his face and eyes lit up when he met my gaze, our eyes locked for more than necessary duration.

There was a sound in my head repeating the word Awkward! In the most irritating way.

I was the one who broke the eye contact first,
" Umm... Come in",
gesturing him to come inside the house, like my voice caused him to snap out of his thoughts he cleared his throat,

" Sure",
he said adjusting his sleeve cuffs,

I stepped backwards opening the door wide for him to come in.

We entered the living room, he opened the front button of his black coat and sit down on the sofa, smiling at me.

Super awkward! Once again that sound.

"You want me to get you something?"

"Ahhh... A glass of water would suffice" he said

"Of course"
I replied smiling and went inside the kitchen, while filling the glass with water my eyes rested on the glass cupboard and rested on my reflection.

Well, call this my confidence but we will look good together, tonight.

Blushing to myself, I came out of the kitchen and saw him looking at the picture kept on the side tables near the sofa,

"Here"
I offered him the glass I brought, he turned smiling and took the glass from me, and our fingers brushed.

Shit!

Once again it gave the opportunity to my inner voice to act- (imagine my inner self-doing dirty dancing)

Your hands brushed! Your hands brushed!

You are falling in love! Can you feel the ragging of your breath... OMG well, I can!

Oh god! Snap out of it!

Then he said after keeping the glass on the table "let's go?"

"wait I'll be back"

I picked up the glass and kept it in the wash basin inside the kitchen.

Quickly ran in to my bedroom, to wear my heels, got my clutch and a scarf to cover my body- it was not required to expose my remaining uncovered upper body when not in party.

I came out, found Siddharth already looking my way, must be waiting for me I calculated. He saw me and nodded boyishly signalling to let's leave.

OK ! That is the nod which I literally found attractive.

Nodding I followed him outside, locked my house, put the keys in my clutch and then we both left the building.

While going down to the parking lot in the elevator again the memory of that day came flashing my mind, couldn't help the blush crept on my face.

From my peripheral view, I saw him making glances towards me with a constant smile on his face.

Strangely I had this huge urge to hide my face and ran back into my house.

We reached where his car was parked, the beauty- black BMW E90 3 series, again a drool-worthy view.

I fancy cars and this piece was at the top of my lists.

I was about to reach the passenger side when Siddharth brushed past me coming in front and opened the passenger door for me.

I was blushing because of the gentleman act he just pulled, mouthed a thank you to him, smiling he nodded.

I slipped into my seat and watched him taking long steps to enter his side.

After even 15 minutes inside the car there was an awkward silence , no one was talking, I moved my eyes to look at him and saw him focused on the road in front.

So, I decide to kill the silence and moved forward to turn ON the radio.

The worst decision of my life!

🎵Kisi sham ki tarah, tera rang hai khila,
Main raat ek tanha, tu chand sa mila
Haa tuje dekhta raha, kisi khaab ki tarah,
Jo ab saamne hai tu, ho kaise yakeen bhalaa.....

Toota jo kabhi tara sajna ve,
Tuje rab se maanga
Rab se jo manga
Mileya ve..............
Tu mileya toh jaane na dunga main🎵

Oh No! Oh No!

Way to make the surround more weird then it already was!

I never wanted to make the situation awkward but end up doing the same, I didn't knew what to do? Should change the song or let it be?

🎵Haan maine suni hai, pariyon ki
kahani,
Waisa hi noor tera, chehra hai tera roomani
Aa tujko main apni, palko pe saja lu
Haa apni iss zameen ko kardu m aasmi...🎵

I looked sideways at Siddharth who was still focused on the road, unaffected.

So, I thought to let the song play, I didn't changed it because if I were  to change it then, he would've definitely thought of me feeling awkward.

I was afraid he will take me for some stupid. I was scared for him making false assumptions of me  feeling uncomfortable with him, and overreacting.

🎵Toota jo kabhi tara sajna ve,
Tuje rab se maanga
Rab se jo manga
Mileya ve..............
Tu mileya toh jaane na dunga m
(Itni bhi haseen main nhi
O yara ve
Mujse bhi haseen toh tera
Yeh pyaar hai ha) X2🎵

I felt his eyes on me, when lifted my gaze to him only to find him staring.

The car had stopped at the red light, second time in a day within minutes, our eyes locked again for  few seconds more than required.

There was something different in his eyes this time, which I was unable to figure out.

His pupils were dilated, he was looking in my eyes intently than his gaze moves to my lips.
I was hyperventilating, scenes such I had witnessed only in movies.

I couldn't help I gulped pursing my lips in nervousness and moved my head forward, facing the road.

Coming out of his dream world he shook his head and smiled, soon the lights turned green and the car started moving, the song coming to end.

After some deadly long silence-
"you're looking beautiful"
He said out of the blue,

"Hmm?" I asked once again, though I already heard what he complimented.

"I was right this colour suits you", he said look at me for seconds and then again on the road.

Scream!

He bought this dress!

" yeah, this is one of my favourite colours", I said smiling sincerely towards him.

He just nodded.
And once again there was silence in the car.

We reached our destination around 5:30 in the evening, the place was near IGI airport, a big resort.

The car stopped and Siddharth moved out of it. He walked up to my side  opening the door for me.

He offered me his hand to come out, after removing my scarf and holding my clutch, I held his hand with my free one.

Once I was outside the car he closed the car door and snaked his arm around my waist.

Fuck! That was not expected!

I gasped on his sudden touch to my waist, feeling my breath got stuck in my throat, he looked down at me- he's so tall-and asked,
" you okay?"

Gulping silently I nodded, he offered me one of his boyish smiles and moved ahead, he handed his car keys to the valet.

Then we moved into the hall where the party was going.

Only to find every eye on me.
