Arranged Marriage Trope

8. Meeting 'Her' For The First Time

His pov:

I woke up at 7AM and saw Lakshya still sleeping soundly. I let him sleep and went to my home gym. I couldn't stop thinking about my date today evening. After my workout, i took the shower and woke Lakshya up and asked him to shower.

I went downstairs for the breakfast, greeted everyone. After, 15 minutes Lakshya joined.

"Where were yesternight?" Dad asked him.

"He slept in my room last night." I said saving his ass.

"Be ready for your date tonight." Mom said. and I just smiled nodding.

The rest of the dinner went silent and i wne for office. I couldn't focus on any of my work as i kept thinking about my date. A knock distracted me from my thoughts.

"Come in"

Pratishtha came in. She was my Personal Assistant who has a crush on me and whole office knows that, but i never fired her because she's a workaholic, she's organized, methodical and efficient.

"Sir, you have a meeting at 5pm today" She said.

"Cancel it."

"But sir, this deal is important we could loose it and had to pay 1 crore as a penalty"

"Then we will pay" I said being irritated by her. "Close the door behind you."

"Okay sir" She left.

I came back home from office and saw Lakshya in my room.

"Thankyou for saving me from dad." He said.

"Who spread the rumor about you?" I asked moving to my closet.

"Who told you?"

"You. When you were drunk last night." I said and he was shocked.

Bastard! Doesn't even know what he says when drunk.

"Choose." I asked him showing two pairs of suits. One black and one grey.

"Black. You look good in that. And you didn't tell me about you had a date?"

"As if you were present here?"

"Right! So.. meeting my future bhabhi, huh?"

I blushed and asked.

"Any first date ideas or tips?"

"Just be yourself and don't lie. Girls are good at catching lies and spitting lies."

"Noted."

"I wonder how good my future bhabhi is at lying"

I blushed again.

"Someone's shy."

"Get out!" I kicked him out of the room to change. I got ready and went to his room.

"How do i look?" I asked him.

"Smart" He said without even looking at me and playing fifa. I threw a pillow at him.

"Ouch." He said and came forward to me and said "Wait a minute."

He went towards his dressing table where he had such a big collection of perfumes. I wonder why he's so obsessed with fragrances. He came back with one bottle in his hand and sprayed over me.

"Perfect!" He muttered.

"Okay, i need to leave. It's already 4:30. I don't wanna be late."

"Good luck" He said winking at me.

I left the house and went to the restaurant and waited for her to come. I asked the manager of the restaurant to being her to the table when she reaches. It was my own restaurant which i myself was visiting the first time. It was nice.

I sat on my table, waiting for her. I looked at my watch and it has already been 30 minutes and still she's still not here. But if waiting means to sit here and wait for her. I would wait for all my life. I looked up from my watch and saw her standing there.

She had almond eyes. full lips, clear face. her hairs were so long and black reaching till her hips. She looked mesmerizing in white! Her eyes were so much more beautiful in person. I couldn't believe i was meeting my doll in real. Words would be so less to decribe her beauty.

I watched her lips move and she said. Her name was more beautiful when it came from her mouth itself.

"Arika"

I got up from my chair.

"Agastya" I said forwarding my hand to her. She shook hands with me and her hand was so soft. Butter is an insult to desribe her hands softness. I looked at her hand and it fit perfectly into mine. My hands cupped her hand as if they were made for each other.

"Please, have a seat" I said sitting on the chair. And i smiled looking at her to make her feel comfortable. as i could sense her being nervous. She smiled back, and her smile was the beautiful i have ever seen in my entire life.

"What would you like to have, buttercup?" My voice came out very soft. And i could see her cheeks turning red. She hesitated first and then said "1 Cappuccino".

"That's it?" I asked and she nodded. I called the waiter and gave him the order.

"What are your hobbies, Arika?"

"I like to read painting and do books" She said and i pressed my lips in a curve to stop myself from laughing at the choice of her words.

"Interesting"

"What are your hobbies?" She asked.

"I like to ride cars, bikes. And spend most of my time in boxing"

"And you work a lot" She said, and i wondered how she know? Does she stalk my profile as i stalk her?

"Someone did a whole Ph.D of me before meeting"

"Aunty told me this when your parents came over for breakfast"

Woah! She sounds offended. My baby looks cute when she raises her voice.I wonder how she'll yell at me for keeping my wet towel on bed after marriage. Waiter came back with our order. She started drinking and i kept looking at her.

"Why are you not drinking?" She asked me.

Aww, my baby is worried about me?

"I'm enjoying the sight infront of me and moreover i'd like to give all my attention to you while you talk" I said and i saw her cheeks again getting red. I kept looking at her and i let her drink her coffee and didn't asked anything further neither did she.

While she was drinking, her hair were falling infront of her face not letting her drink peacefully. I just wanted to choke her hair. But she looked cute when her hair fell on her face.
However, i still wanted to tuck her hair behind her hair because they were touching her soft cheeks.

I hate it when someone else touches my buttercup.

She finished her coffee and i forwarded my hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.She flinched and slowly gave in when felt me touching her hair. My fingertips touched her ear and it felt so soft. I could see her getting red again.
