Veer's POV

My presence was affecting her. I could see that, clear as a day. And I was enjoying every bit of her attention. The other day, I saw her checking me out. And let's just say, I also flexed a little to show off. She's like an open book, her expressions easy to read. I like the way she turns pink whenever I am in her proximity. 

After hovering around her for days, I have established the fact that she doesn't remember me, which should be a punch in the gut but it wasn't because now, I get a chance to start anew with her.

How would you feel if the girl you've been pining for over 7 years suddenly pops up in front of you? That's exactly what happened to me. She doesn't know how long I have daydreamed about her. Some of those dreams were downright unholy. I always wondered how it would feel to taste those soft and plush lips. Are they as sweet as they appear?

I am not unaware about my looks and I know that women are attracted towards me. That's why I have received a lot of marriage proposals in the past, which I have respectfully declined. How can I marry someone else when all I have ever dreamed about is marrying her? It would be unfair if I decided to marry someone else and couldn't give them my full attention.

My friends came to know about my feelings back at the University and urged me to confess to her. But I didn't. Because I knew that she had a fiancé. She was totally devoted and loyal to him. It was as if she couldn't see anyone else besides him. But that fiancé of her was a total jerk. He didn't appreciate her enough. When I noticed that she was here alone and her fiancé was nowhere in sight, I asked Devika about him. Turns out, he was an asshole who left her all alone when she needed him the most. That fucker. How could he do that to her? I was angry on her behalf. But it sort of worked out for me I guess. Now, I could approach her without having to worry about him.

When we were at Gyanadeep, I also came to know about what happened to her parents. My heart ached for her but I couldn't do anything. We didn't know each other that well. It was not as if I could have run to her to give her a hug. Thinking back on it, maybe I should have. When I heard about what her uncle did to her, I had a strong urge to kill him. But the sane part of my brain decided against it. Besides, she's alright now. She seemed happier and also, she smiled more often. She deserved all the happiness in this world.

Speaking of her, I woke up early this morning because we had to leave for her training session. I was filled with so much giddiness that I couldn't sleep at all. Today, I was going to spend time with her, just the two of us. And there was no one to interrupt us. 

I noticed that we still didn't have a single decent conversation. Firstly, I have to clear this awkward air between us and ease her into having a conversation with me. We talked twice or maybe thrice and every conversation ended with her bolting away from me. Although, it was an adorable sight, I still wanted her to talk to me.

That's why, when she turns up at the gate of the association, looking heavenly as hell in that white and pink saree that I want to kiss her senseless, I decide to go and greet her. I can't act out on my fantasies just yet, I have to rein it in. Her hair was tied in a loose bun which exposed the delicate column of her neck. I was tempted to kiss her neck but I decided against it. I had to make her comfortable around me first and not scare her off with my desires. After that, I can show her that I am the man she needs and I deserve to be with her.
