Cold breeze grazed across her face and she closed her eyes to dwell into it. The moon was shinning the brightest today as she stood gazing at the stars in her balcony. The wind brought the smell of flowers from the gardens along with it.

"Then I'll be taking my leave, Milady. " she turned around in the direction of the voice and saw Olive standing there. She nodded at Olive and Olive left the room and Kiara turned back around to gaze into the beautiful sky.

She had met Vazraksh in the garden in the noon and he had promised that he'd come to meet her but it was already late in the night. He didn't show up at dinner too and there was no say if he'd show up to breakfast tomorrow or not. He'd been really careful about announcing his arrivals ahead after that one time when he had barged into her room when she first met Naina. Naina still used the incident to tease him and Kiara had already lost count of how many times he had apologized for that.

A chuckle left her as she was reminded of the memory. She turned around and started walking inside her chambers. She was still a little disappointed that she could not meet Vazraksh in the end of day. She headed to her cabinet and took out a finished piece of lace. The cloth  was beautiful and she was just admiring it to get her mind off her thoughts.

" देख कर लगता है की राजकुमारी बेहद व्यस्त हैँ। "

"Looks like the princess is too busy."

A deep pleasant voice reached her ears and she turned her head as soon as she realised whom it belonged it.

She saw Vazraksh leaning on the railing of the balcony, gazing at her with his beautiful unmoving grey eyes. He was wearing a thin white cotton tunic instead of his formal attire and he was not wearing any ornaments besides his earings and a pearl necklace around his neck and a few rings on his fingers. His tanned skin looked gorgeous under the moonlight and she felt her heart skip a beat as his shoulder length hair waved in the air as wind grazed them.
She had no idea when and how he reached there, but she was sure she was not imagining him...he was there.

"आप -"

"You-"

She stuttered at her words, she was still dazed to see him appear on her balcony out of nowhere.

"इतनी व्यस्त की हमारे आने की भनक भी नहीं आपको।"

"So busy that you dont even have an idea about me coming here."

He said as he stepped forward in her direction. And she came back to her senses. She ran towards the door and locked it from inside incase some maid walked inside the room. She didn't want people to see both of them together in a room at this time of night. To be honest, she didn't want to be interrupted . She knew she should be offended when he showed up at a unmarried lady's balcony without any notice but she really didn't care, on the contrary in a corner of her heart she wanted him to show up even when she was sure that she won't meet him today.
