A TALE OF THE TIME

CHAPTER 7 : LOVE - I

Oh! You’re back… huh? How was your little break? Hope you enjoyed this short break. I was just arranging this books in order (He sit on his fancy teak chair and looking at listeners). Well, however we had completed 60% of this journey and I appreciate your patience and curiosity that made our journey till now. Hmm.. In last chapter we discovered that how moments influence the emotions and triggers the feelings depending up on the situation. However in our story these moments harvested Love between Kainaz and Aayan. ‘Love’ what is this mean? This is quite complicated question and there’s no precise answers for this. An unrecognized feeling of mortals? Or a dilusionary magic of a dream? A melody of the song which can’t be expressed in words? What’s this exactly? (Chuckles…) Wanna know? I’ll answer to this at the end of this chapter. Let’s continue our reading….

                                                      Story continues…

Train arrives at the station and it was a busy atmosphere at the platform. A man steps out and offers his hand for support to the lady behind him “At your service My lady!” he said.

Kainaz smiling at him “Sure, my knight in the shining armor” she teased him with fantasy filled words. Suddenly a voice breaches their fantasy filled conversation “If you guys are done staring at each other, I’ll give you both a drive” the man said.

Aayan looking at Harshad with a folding face “Chacha! You’re jealous of us, aren’t you? I insisted you a lot to get married and you didn’t listened to me and now you’re feeling jealous. Regretting your past decisions huh?” he teases Harshad. Harshad grabs Aayan’s ears and pulls him down “Absolutely not! Mr. Singhania” he said. Aayan trying to release himself from Harshad “Yeah… yeah.. Got it! Chacha Let go my ear” he said.

Kainaz looking at the scene, laughing at the conversation between Uncle and a son “This moment is really cute, you guys crack me up” she said. Eventually Harshad releases Aayan and Aayan was enjoying the way she laughs and those beautiful eyes looking in to his. Aayan not drifting his eyes from her “Your smile can heal everything, no matter how serious the wound look like” he said. Kainaz stops her laughing and looking at him “Enough of flirting Aayan, I think we should listen to Chahaji now” she said.

“Actually, I wasn’t flirting! Indeed I was expressing that I felt at this moment” he said. Harshad signs his assistant to carry the luggage and drives them to Sulthana Mansion. Aayan stops her opening from the door and steps out of the car, buckling towards at her door and opening the door “It’s knights duty to serve his queen, Isn’t it?” he said.

Kainaz smiling at him “You’re really an imbecile Aayan” she said. Aayan chuckles and looking in to her eyes “Anything for you, My lady!” he said. Kainaz replied to the gratitude “Inshallah!” she says. “Well, hope you might be stressed. Get some rest” he said and head back to car yet suddenly Kainaz grabs his arm “You’re leaving? No way. This time I can’t let you go both without having lunch with Sulthana Family. Chacha Come in please” she invited them.

Aayan hold her hand which is grabbing his arm “It’s a quite stressful journey till here and I know this much that you’re exhausted too. Dear get yourself relived this time. We’ll join you for the meal, When I’ll be visiting here again.” He said.

Kainaz felt melt by his benevolence and concern. This is something that she never experienced before. “When love’s at the door step and you think I’ll let it go because the reason I feel sick?” She counters him. “For my sake you should have Lunch with me and I swear to Allah, I won’t stop you after that” she said.

Aayan get close to her cheeks “I sense some possessiveness now which I haven’t noticed before” he said. “Well, Mr. Singhania things get serious when people get in to a relationship and about this possessiveness! Yeah, I’ll be possessive for people and things which are belongs to me” She said being close to his face.
