Taking the left turn as per the suggestion Abhira glanced at the Google map on her phone. Just two more minutes, and she would arrive at her destination. Despite the car's controlled speed, her heart was racing. A swarm of butterflies fluttered in her stomach as she eagerly awaited the road's end. For the first time, she realized that two minutes could feel longer than two eternities.
As soon as the GPS announced, "You've reached your destination," Abhira slammed on the brakes. She grabbed her phone and dialed a number, only to be met with a recorded message: "The number you're trying to reach is switched off. Please try again later."
Undeterred, Abhira stepped out of the car. The soothing melody of a piano drifted through the air, but despite recognizing the tune, she couldn't quite place the song. It was undoubtedly a romantic ballad, but Abhira's mind was a blank. She tried dialing the number again, but it remained unreachable.
Taking in her surroundings, Abhira noticed the dimly lit atmosphere and a building in the distance. Lifting the hem of her flowing white fairy gown, she walked towards the structure. As she entered the passage, a sudden burst of twinkling fairy lights enveloped her.
Abhira stepped forward, her heart filled with a mix of trepidation and unease. As soon as she pushed the door, a gentle surprise awaited her. A flurry of rose petals swirled around her, softly fluttering through the air to ease her apprehension and calm her mind. Abhira's smile widened as she gazed ahead, taking in the breathtaking interior of the house. Like the exterior, the inside was exquisitely adorned with rose petals and twinkling fairy lights, creating a magical ambiance. Her eyes were drawn to a figure standing beneath a grand chandelier in the center of the room. The man, dressed in a sleek black tuxedo, stood with his back to her, exuding an air of mystery. For a moment, Abhira felt as though the entire room's illumination was focused solely on him. With a sense of trepidation, Abhira slowly approached the man. As she gently placed her hand on his back, he turned to face her, his eyes locking onto hers.
*Ting ting*
Abhira woke up to the jarring sound of the phone ringing loudly. Her face contorted in irritation, she reached over and grasped the phone from the bedside table. The screen flashed "Jiju Calling", momentarily brightening the dark room.
"Hello..."
Abhira's voice was laced with sleepiness as she answered the phone.
"Hello ki bacchi uth ja. Dopeher ke 12:30 baj rahe hai."
Rohit stated with a firm tone.
"Kya Jiju?? Acha khasa blurry man ka sapna dekh rhi thi apne utha diya. Aj bhi bande ka chehra nhi dekh paya. Banda har roz mujhe itna special feel karata hai same sapne dikha kar lekin aj tak chehra hi nhi dikha uska."
Rohit was thoroughly entertained by her goofy and charming behavior but didn't let her know. Instead he maintained his tone and said...
"Acha thik hai bad mein dekh lena chehra. Abhi uth kam hai."
