Kabir's Perspective

The vibrant sounds of laughter and music enveloped us, but all I could focus on was Aditi. As I pulled her back towards me, my grip on her wrist was firm yet gentle, a silent plea for her to stay just a little longer. In that crowded room, she was the only person I wanted to be with.

The party was in full swing, with friends milling about, engaging in animated conversations and playful banter. Yet, here we were, cocooned in our little world, a space filled with unspoken promises and shared glances. Aditi's pink dress flowed around her, the soft fabric catching the light as she turned to face me. The way her hair fell over her shoulders added an effortless charm to her already radiant beauty.

"Kabir, what are you doing?" she asked, a teasing smile playing on her lips, but her eyes sparkled with something deeper—curiosity, excitement, and maybe a touch of mischief

"Kabir, what are you doing?" she asked, a teasing smile playing on her lips, but her eyes sparkled with something deeper—curiosity, excitement, and maybe a touch of mischief.

"I'm just making sure you don't run away," I replied, letting my playful tone mask the intensity of my feelings. She laughed, and it felt like music to my ears. That laughter had become a melody I cherished, one that echoed in my mind long after the moments had passed.

Before she could respond, I leaned in, brushing my lips against hers. The kiss was electric, a reaffirmation of everything we'd shared and the bond we were building. Our lips moved together in perfect harmony, each moment deepening the connection that had ignited between us since that first kiss at the farewell.

The kiss felt like a dance—an exploration of the uncharted territory of our relationship. It was tender, sweet, and oh-so-familiar, yet there was a thrill in knowing how far we had come since that day. I could feel the heat radiating between us, the world around us fading into a blur.

When we finally pulled apart, her breath hitched, and her cheeks were flushed, a shade of pink that rivaled her dress. I couldn't help but grin at her, my heart racing as the thrill of the moment washed over me.

"Wow," she breathed, a hint of awe in her voice. "You're getting bolder, aren't you?"

"Only with you," I replied, the words tumbling out before I could think. There was an honesty in my voice that I couldn't disguise. I had never been one to wear my heart on my sleeve, but with Aditi, everything felt different. Everything felt right.

"Good," she said, a playful glint in her eyes. "Because I like this side of you."

Just then, the door swung open again, and Raghav's head popped in. "Hey, Kabir! Aditi! You guys coming back? We need to get the games started!"

I shot him a look, half-exasperated, half-amused. "We'll be there in a minute, Raghav!" I called back, rolling my eyes.

"Alright, but don't take too long! You know how competitive Aditi gets!" he shouted before retreating back outside, leaving us alone once more.

Aditi chuckled, shaking her head. "He really has a knack for interrupting."

"Yeah, but I guess we'll have to make the most of the time we have," I said, stepping closer again. The party was still alive behind us, but here, with Aditi, it felt like we were in our own little bubble.
