BOUNDED BY FATE UNITED BY LOVE

CHAPTER-5: FIRST HUG

Siddharth's POV:

I and Pallavi came back to our rooms after dinner due to embarrassment. I am laying on my bed I was watching my hand as if I was holding a diamond in my hand, I fed Pallavi with this hand when my fingers touched her rosy lips there was a spark in my body the pink blush on her cheeks made her more beautiful in the moonlight. I don't know if this is right or wrong but I want to hug her and kiss her blushed cheeks.

I came back from my thoughts when I heard my phone ring, it was Jack, I picked up the phone

"Hey, Sid!! What are you doing man? There are no calls or messages from your side. Are you that busy!!?" he said. " I am fine, how is the work going there? And was busy due to my engagement" I said.

"What!!! You got engaged, when? you went there for your uncle's housewarming ceremony right then why the hell did you get engaged and who is that unlucky girl?" He asked in an amused tone. " It was so sudden, I got a proposal and met her this morning, she was so nice, and we both said yes, so they arranged our engagement," I said, "so when are you getting married?" he asked. "After one and half years," I said, "why so late man!!!!," he asked, "Pallavi is still studying, so we planned to get married after her graduation," I said, we talked about a few trivial matters, when I saw Pallavi in the corridor.

"I'll call you back later," I said to Jack before hanging up the phone, I went near Pallavi, she seemed to be somewhat worried about something but at the same time she seemed to have the answer to it.

She was still lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice me. She was texting someone probably her best friend, I know that she has a best friend like I have my monkeys, yes this name suits them better than their names.

She noticed me when we got close, "Hi!!" I said. "Oh! Hello," she said with surprised eyes. "Going back to the room?" I asked, I know that she went to see her parents, so I don't need to know the reason. " yes! " she said. " can I walk you to your room?" I asked. "Yes," she said while tugging a strand behind her ear, her cheeks were wine-red, and the scene in front of me was so amazing, I wanted to stop time right now. I came out of my thoughts and we started walking towards her room, we were walking so slowly as if we were tortoises and I liked this, I always had a hurry burry life ever since I became a CEO, there was never a day which I spent peacefully, I even have my lunch while reading my files, but this was new but good, a slow and peaceful walk with my life – my Pallavi – beside me.

We were silent until I asked, "Have you planned, which university you want to study?!!!" "not yet!! I thought I would choose the university in my final year." she said "Do you have any suggestions??" she asked. "Based on your major, I think New York University will be a better choice," I said, and we continued to talk about this for a while, "you said you're interested in sports, so what sports do you play?!!!" she asked, "I play all kind of sports, but I love basketball," I said, and we continued to talk.

After a few minutes, we reached her room, I didn't want to leave her yet, and I could see that in her eyes too, she also wanted to stay longer, "one more round!" I asked her, she looked at me and nodded her head yes, while tugging a strand back her ear. I felt a spark of happiness.

We walked another round around her room, we talked a few more things, and we felt freer with each other, we also completed our second round. We were standing in front of her room door, "good night... Siddharth," she said, my heart skipped a beat hearing my name from her sweet lips. I lost my sanity for a second and wanted to pin her to the door and kiss her till we lacked air. I came out of my thoughts.

We both stood there like that for a few minutes when I broke the silence "Can I get your number?" I asked. She chuckled softly at my sudden question and said "Yes," I gave her my phone, and she entered her number and gave it back to me, I saved her number as wifey. I gave a missed call on her number, and she saved my number.
