Navedita is sitting with her father on the couch watching Match. It's time for dinner when someone rang the bell, Siddhant is coming out from the room with butterflies in his stomach.
There is a guest in the house, A couple.
Navedita looks at Siddhant and divert her eyes from him. Siddhant go to the Kitchen and ask aunty whether he should be there or go.
"You can have dinner with us, they would say nothing to you" She smiles at him.
"I know aunty but it might get awkward and Sir won't like it" Siddhant said and Aunty Lightly pat her cheeks "As you wish Beta!"
Siddhant take's his food and while going to his room he hear the guest lady say "How can you allow Karun ji a Unmarried Man at your home? You have a young daughter!"
Siddhant roll his eyes....Just wait and watch how I am allowed here married and unmarried with the Young Daughter!
Mr.Karun smiles a bit "He is grandson of my teacher whom I respect a lot and Siddhant is a...Nice Man, He knows his limits !"
Navedita stop eating her food and looks at her father. She drink some water and continue eating.
The lady looks at Navedita's Plate "Beta So much rice isn't good you know, it increases fat...Just saying" Her husband glares at her
Navedita stops eating again and smiles. Navedita's mother hold her hand and press it lightly.
Navedita's Father then say "My daughter knows how to take care of her health, Thank you so much for the concern!"
The lady pass a tight smile "So when are you getting her married?"
"We are looking for some good men for her and when we will...then we will see but marriage will be after 2-3 year's!" Informed her father
"Why 2-3 year? Now is here perfect age, She is a Big girl by face and by appearance as well"
Navedita wants to throw garbage on her face for humiliating her like this.
"I think my daughter is not so big Anita ji, By the way when did you got your eye power checked? Seems it very high for you to see clearly now a day? I suggest you to go for a check " Said her mother because enough about her daughter
After that the lady didn't say anything about Navedita and talked about random stuff, though her main purpose was to give wedding invitation card of her son!
Soon the dinner was over and they were leaving. The Lady hugs Navedita and whisper in her ear "I am saying for your own good beta, lose some weight of else no one will marry you, You will look pretty after that" She move back and pat her hand on her cheek "Okay Beta, Take care Haan!"
As Siddhant came out from his room he saw Navedita's sad face after the lady said something to her.
He saw her pale and In deep thoughts, He wants to ask her what happened but wait for sometime as she is with her parents!
••••••••••••••••••••••••
She is crying feeling so hurt and wiping her tears continuously.
Siddhant comes to the terrace looking for her and he found her in miserable mess.
"Navedita!"
She looks up at him and then turn her face. He go and sit in front of her. He cups her face and wipe her tear's.
"Look at me" He said in low and sweet voice
She lift up her wet eyelids and she sniff's.
"What happened?"
She began to cry again.
He rubs her back and hug her, placing her head on his chest.
"Why I am so ugly Siddhant? Why?"
He frown, Ugly?
"Why no body wants to be friends with me just because I have some extra weight in me? I am trying na to lose weight but still, why"
He cups her face again "first of all you are not ugly and second You are not at all extra ! You have everything in your body which makes you sexy ! You are losing weight for them and not yourself, Love yourself and then do it. Don't lose weight to find friends...having two three friends is great you don't need validation of everyone Navedita"
"But it hurt's"
He kiss her forehead "I know it does, I know....But you have a life and you can't waste it on random people because they don't give you attention. You have people who give you their attention and want your attention....for Example Siddhant Shah !"
"Hunh?" She have a confused expression on her face
He smiles slightly "Yes, He since day one has been trying to grab your attention on him, trying to have conversations with you, now he is trying to stop your marriage as well and since the day he has kissed you...he is realising that he love's you"
Her heartbeat rose at his confession, still unable to digest that He Loves her.
"I Love you Navedita ! I love you alot"
"Siddhant"
"I am not lying...I swear and I am a truthful lawyer"
She blinks her eyes and keeps looking at him.
Then she don't know why but she said "Kiss me"
Siddhant got perplexed "What?"
"Kiss Me Siddhant, I want to feel your Love, I want to feel wanted, I want to feel Beautiful, I want to Kiss you right now"
He look deep in her eyes "you know na, you can feel that without a kiss"
She nods "I know but right now, I want to be kissed by you"
He didn't say anything this time and leaned closer to her, She close her eyes and their lips meet.
This time they take in each other's lips in between and suck them lightly. Navedita and Siddhant feel butterflies in their stomach.
She palm his cheek and place the other hand near his heart and it is as fast as her heart.
This is real, she says in her mind while kissing him, this feeling is real, He is real, his Love for her is soo real.
He sucks her bottom lip a little hard and she moans.
They move back just an inch to breath and starts kissing again.
This time getting a little more intense, a kiss they will cherish all their life.
Their tongues collide while kissing and she holds his shirt in a fist breaking a button. He holds her delicately, Not moving his hand on her body so that she doesn't feel uncomfortable.
They move back finally breathing heavily and forehead placed on each other's.
Her Face is red and she is radiating with glow, She close her eyes and smile, feeling so loved !
