( Soumya's POV )
Soumya was currently getting ready in her room. Today's plan was dinner. Naman had offered for all of them to have dinner at his restaurant. It was a way for both the families to get together outside of the functions. Ishi had called and specifically told Soumya to be ready by 8pm sharp and that she would send a car to pick her up.
She ended up sleeping in because her muscles were so sore from dance practice, and now she was running late. She quickly adjusted her hair and grabbed her heels, struggling to put them on. She was wearing a two piece light pink jumpsuit with a matching floral shrug. She was in love with the outfit.
( Soumya's Outfit )
She matched the dress with long dangling earrings and one of her favorite pairs of heels and a couple rings. And as always she was wearing the necklace her parents had gifted her.
After lot's of patience she finally managed to put on her heels correctly. Grabbing her phone and stuffing it in her clutch along with some cash she practically ran down the stairs.
" Dadi driver aa gaya kya mai pehle hi bahut late hu. " she called out. ( Dadi is the driver here yet, I'm already running late. )
" Driver...ouch. " She heard a voice from behind her.
Soumya turned around to see Veer leaning against the door with a hand on his heart.
" tum yaha kya kar rahe ho? " She asked. ( What are you doing here? )
" Mai yaha ek bander ko pick up karne aaya tha. " he replied innocently. ( I'm here to pick up a monkey. )
Soumya rolled her eyes. " Tumhare jokes itne bure kyu hai yaar. " ( Why are your jokes so bad man. )
" Mere jokes ko chodo aur chalo, hum pehle hi 30 minutes late hai? " ( Leave my jokes alone and let's go, were already 30 minutes late. )
She said a quick bye to Saina dadi who was cooking in the kitchen and then ran to the car. As they drove it was like a sense of deja vu. Both of them were in the same car, in the same spots.
" You look beautiful by the way. " Veer spoke.
" Mujhe to laga tha ki mein banadaria ke jaise lag rahi hu. " she retorted. ( I thought I was looking like a female monkey. )
He sighed. " you know jab tumhe koi compliment karta hai, you're supposed to return the courtesy. " ( You know when someone compliments you, you're supposed to return the courtesy. )
" My apologies. Tum bhi handsome lag rahe ho." she spoke, trying to take the sarcasm out of her voice. ( your looking very handsome. )
It wasn't that she was lying. Veer looked good in practically everything he wore, but he didn't need to know that. A comment like that from her would raise his ego through the roof.
