You Make Me Better ✔️

Chapter 21

Sitara's POV

After a few seconds, Kabir, the love of my life, entered the stage.

Everyone from the audience was carefully looking at him and studying the outfit he was wearing. I was hypnotized by the way he carried him today like an owner of the world.

And just like that, all the cameras started flashing like a machine gun firing with the music in the background.

"Ma'am, you need to get ready, instead of ogling your boyfriend." someone whispered.

Who the hell dare to talk with me like that?!

"Mind your tongue-" I whispered yelled to maintain the low voice but stopped after I saw the grinning Myra.

"Whatever." I said and pushed my way through the crowd towards the green room. Myra came with me as well.

I opened the door and directly went behind the curtain to change quickly.

"You and Kabir are gonna look like a cute couple in those outfits." Myra said as she leaned on the wall adjacent to the curtain.

"Oh, I get it! That's why you changed your previous outfit, just to match with Kabir's." she said again.

Obvious, isn't it?

I blushed and removed the curtain between us once I was done fitting into a huge and heavy outfit.

"My God! Look at you, Tara. You look like you can get married right now." she exclaimed, scanning me up and down.

I'll be honest, I loved this dress too. A bluish white blouse and a beautiful lehenga. It was even matching with Kabir's outfit.

"Well, thank you and now be quick. I can't be late for my entry." I said hurriedly and sat in front of the mirror for Myra to start with my makeup. I'd a few minutes in my hand before I needed to show up on the time.

"For the entry or Kabir to see you in this outfit." she teased, poking my shoulder. I caught the wink she threw at me from the mirror while applying the thick patch of makeup on my face.

Kinda both.

I usually don't wear make-up but as I've to look like an owner of a huge brand and not a broke worker, I'd to stuff some of it on my face.

"We have 15 minutes till my entry with Kabir after his showstopper outfit. So please let's talk about this later." I told her.

"Yeah, Yeah. Of course, we will talk later about this." she said, patting my shoulders. I chuckled as Myra continued her job at which she's best. She finished with everything, including my hair in 10 minutes.

I went outside, carrying my outfit with real care, and stood at my entry spot and waited for Kabir to show up.

Will he like this outfit? Will we look cute together as Myra said?

I know I must have missed his iconic showstopper performance but that I can catch up later too. Right now I just want to see him and his beautiful face to gain myself some confidence as well.

"You're looking beautiful, Angel." Kabir whispered from behind, surprising me. His fingers ran on my bare stomach and a light kiss was placed on the left cheek.

"Not the right time." I whispered back even I didn't want him to remove his hand.

We both chuckled. He came and stood beside me. His knuckles brushed mine and soon we had entwined our fingers. A warm smile was formed on his lips which calmed my racing heartbeats.

"Ready to show up, Ms. Sitara Roy, the owner of a successful brand." he teased.

"Of course, Mr. Kabir Sinha, the Top Model of the country." I commented back.

I studied him from head to toe. He was looking handsome in the showstopper's outfit. How glad I was that I considered his suggestion and made changes.

After a few seconds, the second host of the show announced, "And now the real beauty behind this amazing Classic Collection, Ms. Sitara Roy."

Kabir and I glanced at each other. My heart was pounding inside my chest whereas he was strangely calm. He gave my hand a little assuring squeeze and nodded.

I nodded back at him and we entered the stage. We took a step forward and the blinding spotlight was on us. A sudden tingling sensation crossed my body at the sight in front of me.

Everyone was standing and clapping for me. I even caught a few, 'You're great' from my crew members who were in the audience.

I felt like I was the Queen for all of them.

A proud smile on my face and the love of my life standing next to me is what we call a true success. For me, it was beyond that.

My every hardship, every droplet of sweat, all the overtime work, and the insane amount of struggle I went through had paid off.

It was like a tight slap on the people's faces and ego who threw me away like trash and considered me good for nothing.

I was never this proud of myself. I did it, mom.

I blinked several times to drink up the tears forming in my eyes as my mom's proud smiling face came in front of my eyes.

I exhaled a deep breath and walked further with Kabir by my side. Cameras flashed their lights on us, the crowd cheered and everyone's eyes were staring at me as a successful businesswoman.

"You made it. I'm so proud of you" Kabir softly whispered in my ear. "I love you."

I smiled. "I love you too." I said.

His hand came around my waist as we both posed for the cameras like declaring to the world how much we love each other.

Every single piece was fallen in its place. I felt like my life was finally completed with all I desired.
