9.36 PM

We were going to the temple to worship the goddess Durga. It was the last Navratri today and the reason Maa had called us was to get ready for this event.

As Mahir ji was getting fresh in a different room, I went inside the washroom to take a shower.

Coming out in a blouse and a petticoat, I started to wear my saree. It was a red chiffon saree, which I styled with my gold earrings and a gold ring.

I applied the lipstick and finally sprayed the setting spray onto my face. While combing my hair, Mahir ji came into the room wearing the red kurta Maa had given him for some obvious reasons.

He was looking breathtakingly handsome in the kurta. His muscles were prominent and were defining all his features.

I could feel his gaze on me through the mirror as I took the vermillion from the box and applied it to the partition of my head. Our eyes met in the process and I could see a small smile form on his face.

He turned around and searched for something, most likely his wallet.

"It's on the side table near the bed."

He looked at me confused, I just shook it off and continued to do my hair.

He again started to roam around the room in search of his handkerchief.

"Not there Mahir ji, the handkerchief is in the second drawer."

"How are you getting to know what I want?"

"Because...because isn't that what you men always forget? Like now you would forget where you kept your phone when it would be in the same place where you last kept it...on the bed." I replied like it was a matter of fact.

"Naina?"

I looked at him through the mirror.

"How did you know I was planning to find my phone? Did- Have you been observing me?"

Yes. Yes, I had been. But I wouldn't say so.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now let's go Maa and Papa must be waiting for us." I tried to deviate from the topic.

We both made our way downstairs as Maa and Papa looked at us. Maa hugged me complimenting my look. Papa caressed my hair calling me cute.

Mahir Ji got a call and he signaled us to wait in the car. We all went to the car. I was about to open the back door when Papa stopped me and said, "You're gonna sit in the front. I'll sit with my wife."

I was confused and before I could speak something, they both settled down. I had no other choice but to sit in front with Mahir ji.

After a few minutes, he came and sat in his seat without looking at anyone. He fastened his seatbelt. "Papa, fasten your seatbelt too."
