UNDYING DEVOTION

CHAPTER 16|A Date Maybe

Author's POV :

The restaurant buzzed with a subdued energy as Raghbir and Meera settled into a cozy corner table, bathed in the warm glow of softly lit lamps. The aroma of spices wafted through the air as the waiter handed them menus, leaving them to peruse the culinary offerings for the evening.

Meera's eyes scanned the menu, her gaze thoughtful. Raghbir, noticing her contemplation, offered a suggestion. "You might like the chef's special pasta. It's my favorite here."

A grateful smile curved Meera's lips. "Sounds perfect. I'll trust your recommendation."

As they waited for their orders to arrive, the ambiance of the restaurant seemed to cocoon them in a shared moment. The hum of conversations and the occasional clinking of glasses provided a soundtrack to their burgeoning connection.

The waiter, clad in a crisp black uniform, returned with their steaming plates. Raghbir's eyes gleamed with anticipation as Meera took the first bite of the chef's special pasta. A subtle nod of approval passed between them, solidifying the unspoken understanding that good food was a shared joy.

Between bites, they explored common interests. Raghbir's eyes lit up as Meera talked about his love for travel,

"Hmm, I love to travel new places! It's been a dream for me since the time I was a kid.. And now I'm just living them to the fullest!"

In turn, Raghbir found himself captivated by Meera's talks. She continued to blabber each and every detail about her visits to different places, little did she know, his focus was completely in her eyes.

The same smouldering eyes that had captivated him the very same day they first met.

He couldn't explain how thankful he was to Almighty, that he was now sitting in front of the lady he forever admired.

As Meera proceeded to talk about her passion for plants , her eyes sparkling as she spoke about the small garden she has set up in her own balcony, Raghbir couldn't help the smile forming on his lips.

"I see, you are a crazy lover of plants."

"Oh,i definitely am! Heyy, you haven't told me about your your likings!", Meera slapped her forehead making him chuckle

"I have nothing special. I just love dogs. Very very much! I have a pet as well!", Raghbir's voice grew excited as he spoke about his pet dog more like his son.

As the evening progressed, the restaurant dimmed its lights, creating an intimate atmosphere. Dessert menus appeared.

" What about a chocolate fondue? A sweet indulgence to cap off the evening.", Raghbir winked.

Meera's laughter rang out as they dipped strawberries and bits of cake into the velvety chocolate.

Amidst the exchange, the waiter discreetly approached, inquiring about their satisfaction with the meal. Raghbir, with a genuine smile, expressed gratitude for the delightful experience. Meera echoed his sentiment, her eyes reflecting contentment.

The live band began to play a romantic melody, and the dance floor came alive with couples swaying to the rhythm.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Raghbir extended his hand to Meera, "May I?". Meera's face lit up with excitement as she accepted his invitation, her heart pounding with anticipation.

They moved gracefully across the dance floor, their bodies swaying in perfect harmony. With each step, they felt a deep connection, as if the world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them in that magical moment.

The music played on, and Raghbir twirled Meera, their laughter filling the air. They danced with joy, their movements reflecting the love and happiness they shared. It was a moment of pure bliss, a celebration of their bond and the journey they are going to embark upon together.

They continued to dance, their steps becoming more playful and carefree. The music seemed to weave its way into their souls, igniting a fire within them that couldn't be extinguished.

As the night grew darker outside, Raghbir proposed a leisurely stroll. The city lights illuminated their path, casting a romantic glow on the streets. They walked side by side, the rustle of leaves and distant city sounds forming a tranquil backdrop to their conversation.

Under the starlit sky, Meera shared a childhood memory that had shaped her perspective on life. Raghbir listened attentively, a shared sense of vulnerability weaving its way into the exchange. The cool night air seemed to carry their words into the universe, creating a shared space for honesty and connection.

Back at the restaurant entrance, the air was tinged with the bittersweet awareness that the evening was coming to an end. Raghbir looked into Meera's eyes, a silent acknowledgment passing between them.

"Thank you for tonight," Meera said, her voice soft yet filled with sincerity.

Raghbir nodded, "No, thank you. It's been a wonderful evening."

As they exchanged a lingering hug, the promise of future shared moments hung in the air. Raghbir and Meera stepped out into the night, hearts full, minds buzzing with the resonance of a dinner date that had blossomed into the beginning of something beautiful.

.
The next day Meera reached the set with a hurry. She had slept late the previous night, very late.

Although she returned home around 11, it was almost 2 when she slept.

Well, first Raghbir's texts and then his thoughts didn't let her sleep. Hence she woke up extremely late and somehow rushed to the set.

Even when she was in the set, her mind was still wandering on the previous night's incidents.

The way a single night changed her relationship with Raghbir —for good, ofcourse.
