Perfect Mismatch

11 : Date

Murtasim looked into her eyes as he tried to find an answer. He loves her, and he already knows it, but will he ever consider loving someone else? The answer is obviously no, but from what he knows about Saba, she is not the kind of girl who likes to play with other people's emotions. His pulse accelerated as he blinked his eyes. Now he is trying to figure out why she asked him this query. She is very mysterious because she does not share her emotions with him. He always have to wonder the reason of her actions. He has no idea why she is so interested in someone is life today either. He does not believe Saba could ever intentionally harm a man; that is her life, and they should respect her decision.

Meerab's expression showed confusion as well as a hint of fear. Her naive gaze is full of hope as she looks at him. She is anticipating a positive response from him, but he is unsure of what to say. He can not fall in love twice, so that theory is a lie for him, but Saba needs to move on. She might betray her husband's trust even more if she enters into another relationship.

"Btao na", she insisted, to which he nodded and took a minute to re-consider his response before answering.

"I don't know. Ask her to discover it herself and don't play with anyone. Although I know she won't, ask her to stop liking anyone and leave both the boys", Murtasim remarked which alarmed Meerab because she did not want to part from Murtasim. She has lost everything already, she can't afford losing the treasure she found recently

"No!", she exclaimed with fear

"I... mean ok I will tell her", she continued to which he nodded and gave a pat on the back of her hand

"Don't worry and let her decide it herself. She should keep her feelings for a married man to herself as this could cause misunderstanding between the couple. If she is comfortable with the second, she should marry him if she is that serious", Murtasim said softly, to which Meerab hummed and took her hand back. He dressed in a suit and she quickly changed into a saree. They remained silent throughout the drive but exchanged glances while he drove. They soon arrived, came out together, and began walking inside. He heard her earrings playfully brush against her neck as they walked, and he found that to be a melodious sound.

As she walked, he noticed a smile on her face, which he adored and would do anything to keep her happy. Her open hair adds to her beauty, and her eyes are always so tender and caring. Despite her attempts to project an image of being a tough girl who does not care about anyone, love for everyone is always present in her eyes. He is in love with her appearance because she is so stunning today in the sari and her curves are so evident. He had promised himself not to make her feel uncomfortable, so he tried to divert his attention away from her body because he knew she could tell what he was thinking with just one look. She has a gorgeous silver necklace around her neck, and her two gold rings always look great on her fingers. The dark lipstick shade on her lips looks stunning. Overall, she looks flawless. He did not pay much attention to her during the journey because she was trying to avoid conversation.

"Chalo Murtasim",said Meerab, putting her hand over his shoulder. He gave a nod of agreement. God, her scent is also intoxicating. He averted his gaze from her because looking at her made him forget everything. After entering, they picked out a table and he pulled out a chair for Meerab to sit on. Murtasim sat down again, and the two of them studied the menu.

"Kya khaogi?", he enquired while clearing his throat. He was taken aback when Meerab took the menu card and ordered fish. He took the card from him to place another order, but he became tense when Meerab asked the waiter to go. He inhaled deeply because he was unsure of what to do at this point. He cannot have fish because he is allergic to it. But how will he deny if Meerab forces him to? As he continued to peruse the menu, he asked the waiter to bring the paneer tika as well when he saw fish arrive. Meerab was perplexed because even fish appeared to be sufficient, but she did not say anything in front of the waiter. After the waiter departed, Meerab questioned him about his paneer order.
