CRIMSON VEIL

3. unexpected person

VEER

"Baby utho na" a melodious voice come . Then a drop of water touched my nose , opening my eyes slowly I saw her. She's wearing a red sari and her hairs were wet, looks like she just took a bath. Giggling at me she moved her hairs which lead to wet my face a little as she was sitting just in front of me on the bed.

Brushing my hairs with my fingers, I slightly pulled her waist a little and she falls on my chest. Placing my both hands on the either side of her waist, I slowly tickled her. she burst into laughter and hide her face in my chest. "Baby don't do it na" she said while controlling her laugh. I smiled at her and stopped tickling her.

Taking my one hand from her waist to her face ,while brushing my fingers on her side midriff. I held her chin and made her look at me. "why I'm enjoying it?" I asked. She looks ethereal in her minimal makeup and that bindi is just cherry on top. Showing her doe eyes she said "it's hurting while tickling". Caressing her head softly I bend my head a little and touch her nose with mine and slowly muttered "aww...my biwi is hurting, I'm sorry let me help you with this pain".

After saying this, I slowly bent down but my eyes were still looking into her eyes. She giggled a little. I was about to kiss her but.but.but!!!!!!

Wait a min why 'but' in this scene. It was supposed to be a romantic scene , why im hearing that annoying apple alarm. This can't be a dream. Ohhh goddd whyyy meee.

Making a defeated look. I opened my eyes and continuously glaring at the ceiling. While that annoying alarm sounds still coming from my left side.

Anger rushed to me as I grab my phone and turn off the alarm. Irritated me was about to throw my phone on the ground but a voice interrupt me.

"Nahi bhaiiiiii" looking at the at door I saw Ahaan. who was cupping his own face and having a dramatical expression on his face.

Suddenly he runs to me and grab my phone from my hand. My hand was still in air as I'm calculating what was just happened.

'Was it all a dream?'

Of course..aise hi thodi biwi bn jayegi teri. Stupid!

'Just shut up' I mock my subconscious.

"bhai you are late!! for the first time. Don't you think you are keeping bhabhi waiting too long?" Ahaan brings me back to the reality.

Oh come on isse accha to mein nind m hi tha.

"And don't you think coming in my bedroom with that no permission leads you in problem? Huh bhabhi ke pyare devar?" I mocked him. His face turned shocked as he ran out of the room within a seconds.

Shaking my head in disbelief , I grab my phone and turned it on. My eyes nearly popped out after seeing the time, it shows 8:15.

I'm fucking late , for the first time too!

Getting up from the bed, I nearly fell because of the duvet which seems to stuck in my legs. Jumping on my one leg , I attempt to protect myself from falling and guess what I didn't fall!.

*thud*

Okay I lied I did fell but on my bed. Grabbing all my patience I move towards the closet and picked a normal black three piece suit, as I have a meeting after that blind date.

Stripping my clothes in urgency , I took a warm shower.

Looking for the last time in the mirror, I grab my phone from the bed and keys from the side table. Rushing towards the stairs i slowly moved towards living room.

"Good morning beta, ready for the date?" Dad asked and I stopped in front of him. His face holds calm expression as I said

"Morning dad and yes as you can see I'm ready for my last date". With that I got out of the house and entered in my car.

Tropical restaurant was about 45mins away from my house. And as I'm already late I speed up my car and starts my journey toward the blind dates ending.

Stepping outside the car I gave my keys to the bouncer to park it. Moving inside the restaurant , I nod at the receptionist. She offers a bright smile. That's when my phone rang, seeing the caller id I picked it up.

"Veer did you reach there?" Dad asked

"For gods sake dad, it's not like I'm running away" I said in the tone of disbelief. How can he think this about me.

Releasing a sigh, I moved towards the eating area while my dad still making me believe that he doesn't think like that.

Seeing too many people I got confused. But my attention got stuck towards a lady whose back was facing me. She was wearing a red dress and her hairs were open till her waist.

She seems familiar.

Lost in thoughts I slowly take my steps towards her just when my dad said "Beta I forgot to mention her name" and my legs stopped at the place as I saw her face.

"Siya" I whispered but she heard it and tilt her face towards me and my heart stopped for a moment as I looked into her hazel brown eyes. She pass me a small smile.

And I died at that moment.

"Yeah Siya Malhotra, hope you enjoy your date. Bye beta" dad said and cuts the call.

I was still in a shock that's when she broke my trance and said "you forgot to add Malhotra, Mr.Oberoi".

Giving her a small smile I sat on the chair in front of her. Putting my phone back in my blazer. I moved my gaze towards her again and to be surprise she was already starring at me in that too directly into my eyes.

Ab kya jaan loge bhagwan ji!

"So shall we start Mr.Oberoi ?" She asked with a mischievous smirk on her face. God knows what's going on in her big brain.

Actually tiny brain.
