Kiara's pov
My grandparents are moving in with us today finally. It took many hour hours of talking to get my grandfather to leave his house in Agra. He said it had emotional values which it did, from my dad to my youngest cousin Vedika all took their first steps there. It was my first home too.
But right now, all his doctors and facilities are here in Delhi so he had to come, there was no other way. And I want to be here when they reach but I have to leave my house by 6 at any cost if I have any chance of reaching my date destination on time. Ugh.
And it's 4:30 pm already. I have to start getting ready.
"Mummaaaaaa, I am going to get ready. You don't have any work in my room or from me, right?" I ask her from my room only. Yes, I am lazy. So what.
"No, you go get ready and show me your outfit before you leave." When do I ever go anywhere without showing her my outfit? Even when I was in London, I used to call her just so I could get her approval on my outfits. All my fashion sense comes from her, period.
I finally get up from my bed to go and lock the door of my room. I have this weird thing like even when I am in the washroom taking a bath my room door has to be locked. Don't know why though.
It's already September so it's a little chilly out in the evening but not enough for me to wear my boots. Sucks. I open my cupboard and blankly stare at it for 10 minutes. I have no clothes, that is it, that is the problem.
YOU HAVE NO SPACE TO FILL MORE CLOTHES IN THIS CUPBOARD, KIARA!
And sometimes I hate it when my mind resonates with me. Anyways, I take out a pair of black pants and a mehendi green top. After the last few dates I have decided not to wear anything revealing. Not every date made me uncomfortable but some perverts just couldn't help themselves. All those good looks going to waste *sighs*
(Her whole outfit with the purse and the heels)
I freshen up and get ready while my makeup consists of concealer, eye liner, blush and lipstick so basically my daily routine nothing fancy. After finally getting approved by mumma I leave my house at around 6:10 pm which is pretty good.
The cab is already waiting for me and in no time, I am at my destination, I check myself finally and get out after paying the driver.
The café is full of people as you would expect a good place to be on a Saturday evening and I go and seat myself near the railings on the rooftop. I love sitting in the open, a little chilly weather harm no one after all.
And then I wait.
......
Running out of time never seemed possible to me. But today it does.
I have rejected many proposals for marriage in the last 6 months thinking that I had time to choose someone of my choice but life is a silly game that keeps changing its rules.
I never thought I, Kiara Grover, who never listens to anyone but herself would be making such a big decision because of someone else.
Now I am waiting for the guy I might end up getting married to. At this point all I need in a guy is someone who can make contact with my eyes and not my breasts AND is not a loud chewer.
You would think that is easy to find right but God help me there is something wrong with the community we all know as 'men'.
The funny thing is I don't even know the name of this guy I am meeting. I don't even know how he looks!
It's just I have denied some proposals based on solely those things in the past so my mom said I should go on a blind date. That lady has been a little too open with me since I went to college lol.
And this café is so pretty, have I mentioned it before? The beautiful lights and since it's already 7-
I check my watch and its HALF PAST seven already. I was lost in my thoughts for half an hour? God, where is this guy????
"Kiara?" I hear my name coming from behind me and turn to see my date- Rihaan?? What?
"Close your mouth. Yeah, it is me."
"Rihaan Roy," I whisper more to myself than him.
"Kiara Grover," he replies. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM??
"What are you doing here?" It's been so long since I have met him, seen him or even heard anything about him.
"I am your supposed blind date, whiskey" he says calling me by the nickname he gave me 10 years ago.
But the thing that scares me is that the smile on his face isn't of someone who has any good intention.
"Why?" is the only thing I can ask as I am still not able to process him being here.
"You thought it was your mom's idea to make you go on a blind date? No, sweetheart it was all me. You would have never agreed to this otherwise" he says with a smile too sweet. TOO SWEET.
"What do you want, Rihaan? You have been awol from my life for almost 10 years now. Why come back now?"
"Shaadi krne aaye hai aapse"
