This chapter is to all my readers who are single like me on propose day🤣🤣

Just joking😀😀

Kabir's POV

"No, I am already full," I told her as she sat across me.

We were both silent and I didn't knew what to say to break the ice.

"It's getting awkward, right?" she asked.

"Yes, we have never been alone like this, right? Raj was always with us." I replied and she nodded in a yes.

"Do you want to look at my house? I mean, there's nothing to look at but---

"Hey! Calm down. You don't have to be so formal with me. You know that, right?" I tried to calm her down and she nodded in understanding.

"I will wash your coat and return it tomorrow. Even though it has no stain but still I am feeling dirty to give it to you without washing," she said making me sigh.

Again!

"Okay," I said.

"Let's watch something," she suggested.

"What do you watch?" she asked before I could reply.

"News and cricket," I told her and she was just looking at me.

"No movies?" she asked and I nodded in a 'no.'

"No songs?" she asked further and I once again nodded in a "no."

"Korean drama? Thai drama? Anything?" she asked further and a laugh escaped from my lips as once again I nodded in a 'no.'

"What will you do if you find someone like me who loves romantic movies or songs or romantic series?" she asked.

"I will never find someone like you." The moment those words left from my mouth, I regretted it.

And when I looked at her, I regretted it even more.

"I mean, we will see when the time comes." I tried to manage my previous statement.

"You know, me and Sohum connected through movies and songs. He also liked song and movies," she told me and I didn't knew what to say but then I decided to say what's in my mind.

"If your husband's choices were different but you liked him, you would have rejected him as your tastes are different?" I asked her and she was quiet for some time, as if she was in a deep thought.

"No," she said after some time.

"That's what I am trying to say. There are some people who have the same preferences but still never sits together and watch something because even though their preferences matched, their heart didn't," I said.

"And, if I find someone who likes the things you like, I will let her watch her Korean drama and I will watch my news and we can connect together on different things, like going for a walk, or shopping together," I continued.

"I will not force her to watch cricket with me as I know she doesn't like it and I can't pretend to be liking any shows with her as I know it will be unfair to her if I don't like it from the heart," I continued, further.

"Wow! You showed me a different perspective," she said and she was quiet for few seconds.

"How come you don't have anyone in your life?" she asked me and I started laughing at her question.

"I never found someone like you," I said and once again regretted it.

Shit! I should control my mouth.

"I mean, I didn't find someone who likes movies and dramas." I changed my statement.

"But you know, while driving I listen to few Hindi songs on radio and I liked few songs." I told her.

"Like?" she asked.

"They are old songs."

"I love old songs," she exclaimed.

"Like, Lag Jaa gale of Lata Mangeshkar," I told her.

I heard that song and fell in love with it.

"Oh god! I also love that song after Sohum introduced it to me. He always liked to dance with me on that song," she said.

"So, it is not your favorite song?" I asked.

"I didn't listen to it before meeting him but Sohum loved it and we used to dance on it," she told me.

"What is your favorite song?" I asked.

"I mean, your personal favorite song, which you like?" I tried to explain my previous statement further.

"Say you won't let go by James Arthur but he was not a much fan of that song," she told me.

"Oh! I heard that song and loved it. Do you want to play it?" I asked.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes, let's hear that song," I said, again.

She ran and bought her mobile and came and sat beside me and opened YouTube excitedly.

For the first time she was sitting so close to me and this gave me a chance to look at her closely.

There was a big smile on her face and I wanted to remove strands of hair which was blocking me from looking at her more closely.

"Done," she said and looked at me and her smile left.

Maybe the look on my face scared her.

Did she noticed the desire for her on my face?

No. I have to stop it.

I will stop it.

I want to see her happy face just like I saw few seconds ago.

I want her to be carefree with me.

She is happy and carefree because for her, I am her good friend.

And, she will again go back in her shell if she comes to know my hidden liking for her and I can't loose her.

From today, I will be her good friend.

I will try my best to hide all my desires and be her friend.

Only her friend.

Just a friend.

As long as she is happy and carefree with me just like she was few minutes earlier I am okay with just being her friend.

"Sorry, I was just thinking something," I said and she nodded in understanding.

"Let's listen," she said.

"I am listening to this song after so many years, I almost forgot this was my favorite song until you asked me about it," she continued, further.

"Too busy listening to 'Lag jaa gale' as it's his favorite song?" I joked and followed it with a small laugh.

"Actually, you are right," she said, seriously.

"Really?" I asked and she nodded in a 'yes.'

"Anyways, let's listen to it. Don't talk. See, the song has almost finished. Now we have to listen it again," she said making me chuckle.

"What to do? My friend is so talkative," I joked.

"Shut up," she said and playfully punched my shoulder making me laugh more.

2.Lag jaa gale.

And, I love, love, love old songs.

Random question:-Why is taking husband's surname is necessary after marriage.

I mean I know it's not compulsion.

But, according to MY READERS, why it is taken?
