chapter 9

Bondita's pov,

"Bondita"

"Anirudh sir"

"Do you guys know each other before?", My father asked ,seeing us gasping eachother's name in suprise.

"No"

"Yes"

We both replied at the same time with contradicting answers making our parents confused.

He looked at me in confusion , unable to understand the reason behind me saying no.

" Yes "

"No"

We both said together again copying each other's answers but all went in vain.

I squeezed my eyes before replying, "ma,baba we know each other before as we have some mutual friends but we haven't talked to each other much".

Am i right sir?", I asked him forcing a smile as he watched me with amusement as i lied effortlessly.

"No", he said in a trance but seeing me frown he shook his head and said "yes" .

Everyone smiled and they started talking with each other while I sat opposite to him , wondering about the happenings.

My chain of thoughts broke as i felt him staring at me intently.

I looked up only to meet his black eyes  and got lost in it.

He was wearing a plain navy blue shirt which was inned properly in his light brown pant. His facial hairs were cleanly shaved and his hair was perfectly combed .

Though we had stayed in the same hotel for 4 days , this is the first time I had enough courage to look at him as well as observe his features. He was having a pair of small black eyes , sharp nose and thin pink lips. He looked perfect . He looked handsom......

Huh?bondita what are you thinking? , i mentally slapped myself for thinking like this but this thought wasn't helping me to either look away from him or from beautiful his eyes.

Anirudh's pov

She was clad in a beautiful yellow saree with a pink designer blouse. She sat opposite to me and started looking down.

She was having big black eyes with thick eyelashes , a small nose, soft cheeks and red plump lips .

She was looking gorgeous!!!

It's not that ,i haven't noticed her features before but she was looking quite different today . I don't know whether i am feeling this way , because i am seeing her first time in a saree or it is because she is normal now.

During the hotel stay , she looked pale, stressed and dull but she used to mask all those with her fake smile and courage . Even today I am not sure whether she is happy or not as her facial expressions states that she is deep down confused and sad about something. But she looked normal . She looked comfortable.

As i was gazing her intently she looked at me and we drowned in eachother's eyes.

My reverie broke when I heard kavin saying " dada , if you are finished with your staring session then could you please pay heed to what's going on here.

We broke our eye contact and started looking here and there embarrassedly as everyone started giggling seeing our condition.

After a good amount of casual talks vikram spoke up.
