Raj's POV

The food was ordered and since light music was on, chachu asked me to take Myra to dance.

We both were very good as dance partners at the new year party and I really wanted to take her to dance now.

But I was scared of our proximity as I would not be able to stay away from her if I go closer to her now as I was already having trouble like sleepless nights and restlessness around her.

" Later on may be... "  I said politely

" As you wish, but I am taking my feisty warrior for a dance. Bye oldies. " He said and pulled chachi to the dance floor.

" Hey, whom did he call, oldies?" Viraj uncle asked.

" All of us. I am going to show him that I may be two years older than him. But still young at heart. Come, honey. I suggest you join as well. "  Dad said to him and they all left.

" Raj, shall we also... " Myra asked me.

Oh, I was tempted to say yes. But I could not. I had to stay away from her.

" No!! I am not in a mood. " I said and turned to talk to Sujal as if I had something extremely important and interesting to discuss.

I was feeling good after being able to refuse her offer to dance the very next moment that feeling vanished.

" Myra, would you like to dance with me? " Ron asked her.

" Er... "  She was hesitant and looked at me.

" Oh, come on, this boring man is older than our dad, let him rest.  I love dancing and don't have a partner, so please will you dance with me? " He asked again.

" Ok, why not. "  She went away with him.

What is wrong with him?? Why is he flirting with her?? Does he have some feelings for her??

But then why did he ask me to marry her in the first place?? And then he said that if I don't marry, he would.

But why?? What is going on?

They were talking while dancing and he said something and she blushed.

Why did she blush?? What did he say?? 

" This man is besotted, has gone crazy. Hasn't heard a single word since Ron asked Myra for dancing. " Sujal said and Viren laughed.

" What?? No!! I was thinking of the latest project, I recently got. " I said.

" We even know the name of the project."

" What name?? " I was confused.

" Myra!!! What else, you idiot? You have been looking at her like a deprived lover. Come on, go and ask her for a dance, she is yours. " Sujal said.

" Oh, it's nothing like it. It felt weird as our parents are here. " I gave the lame excuse as my parents would have been more than happy if I would have danced with my wife.

" Stop hesitating about the elders being here. They all have done the same when they were young. And we are next generation... Go get your girl. Tell that playboy to find someone else. He can be very charming, I have seen him with girls." Viren winked at me.

" Oh, I know him better than anyone else. " I said.

" Go, buddy go!! As it is you are getting jealous looking at them dancing there. Go set the floor on fire and show these playboys that we are not less romantic than them, just have been waiting for our right partner to come, and once she is with us we are more passionate than them as we stored our passion exclusively for our real partners." Sujal said.

" Wow!! Sujal awesome!! " Viren looked at him.

" Yes, you are right. Though I don't believe in the public display of affection, and I feel awkward even dancing with her with our families, still, she is mine. He has to find another girl for dancing or flirting. " I said and went to the dance floor.

I stepped onto the dance floor and felt a sense of hesitation and nervousness. We had just gotten married and I was trying to stay away from her but was being drawn to her at the same time.

Though I was angry with her, I was slowly getting used to the idea of us being together forever.

" Do you mind if I dance with my wife now? "  I said looking at Ron.

" At least wait for the music to stop. We are enjoying our dance. " Ron said.

You will enjoy my punches soon.

" Go and find enjoyment somewhere else. "  I said firmly.

This one is mine. Only mine!

" Another possessive husband of this generation. Start a new club now like OPH and join it. " He said.

" Get lost!! "  I told him with a clenched jaw.

" Dance well or I will be back," he whispered in my ear before going away.

What has gotten into him? I need to talk to him as soon as possible.

" Shall we dance?? " Myra said with a smile.

" Yeah! " I said and pulled her in my arms.  She smiled at that and something changed in the expression that made her look even more beautiful.

" What was he saying? "  I asked.

" Nothing. "

" Then why were you blushing??" I didn't want to sound too jealous but I was getting there.

" Blushing? Me? No!! "  She denied.

" You were. Now tell me. " I said. And she smiled.

What was going on?? 

The music changed and it was a slow very slow and romantic number which meant we had to dance very close.

She took another step towards me and we were so close that our bodies were touching. I felt very nice having her in my arms.

" I love this song... " She smiled and moved a bit sensuously and I forgot whatever was on my mind and we enjoyed the dance she was smiling like old days and I was happy to see that she was happy in my arms.

We both did not break eye contact while we danced. We kept standing there like that even after the music stopped, and came to our senses only when our families hooted and clapped.

We looked at each other with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

I was about to step back. But then the music started to play, a beautiful melody that spoke of love and commitment, I didn't feel like going back, so started to move, she was surprised at first but then smiled and followed my steps.

We moved gracefully, our bodies swaying in perfect synchronization with the music.
It seemed that our bodies were merged as we moved as one and I enjoyed myself and it seemed that so did she.

All the time we danced, our eyes locked onto each other, and the world around us seemed to fade away. We were lost in each other, moving to the rhythm of the music with a natural ease that spoke of some deep connection.

Her face seemed to come alive with emotion,  eyes shining with love and affection. We moved with a fluidity that belied our nervousness, each step bringing us closer together.

As the song reached its crescendo, I pulled her close and we swayed together, lost in the beauty of the moment. We were surrounded by their family members, but it was as if we were the only two people in the room.

The dance was a beautiful experience, a moment that we could cherish for the rest of our lives.

But the problem was that she loved Manik,  not me.
