She took a step in his direction.
"सत्य कहिये... आपक चाहते हैँ हम भूल जाएं?"
"Be honest.. You want me to forget?"
It was dark but not so dark that she wouldn't see his knitted brows. She stepped closer and now his face was visible clearly. She stood in front of him and a silence that shouted thousands of words settled between them.
She lowered her eyes and went forward to take his hand in her own and she could feel his body flinch the moment she touched him but she didn't back off. In this dead silence the sound of water flowing in the nearby fountain was echoing in the garden and she was toying with his fingers of the hand she held and interwined them. He was looking at her playing with his hand and how much he wished he could hold her this very moment but there was a string of conscience in his head that was holding him from doing so.
Suddenly she looked back up to face him as she sensed his gaze lingering on herself. But the moment she looked back he turned his eyes away from her. ' Really? You're trying to avoid me now? " She thought and she wondered if either she should laugh or feel bad about it.
"वज़रा.."
"Vazra.."
His name sounded like the most endearing word when she said it and he couldn't help but hold his breath when she said called him 'Vazra' instead of his full name. He took in a deep breath when her fingers grazed across his jaw and she made him look at her. She was holding his face in her palm and he was looking at her. ' Holy Heavens ' he thought. She looked gorgeous, even in the dark her eyes shone brightly, looking at him. Only him. And he loved that.
She raised on her toes and brought her face closer to his and he was reminded of the previous night. She brought their lips closer just close enough that they could feel each other's breath not letting them touch. His mind kept remembring the memory of how her lips felt on his own and he felt his heart pounding against his chest, afraid that she might hear it he held his breath.
At that moment she looked up straight into his eyes and he could not avoid her eyes anymore. She stared into his eyes for moment and her lips parted to say something.
"आपरी आँखे झूठ कोणी बोल सकती ...मेरी जान।"
"Your eyes can't lie.. My love."
She withdrew her hand from his face and lowered her eyes breaking their eye contact. She stepped back standing at a steps distance from him, looking him in the eyes. There was something about the look in her eyes that made him feel feel she was getting distant from him. That made him experience something he hadn't felt in ages. Fear.
"खरः।"
"Fine." Her words were more like a tired sigh.
"कल रात कुछ ना हुआ था.. "
