The Rhythms Of Her Dreams✨️

20. Part of his World✨️

The next few days seemed like a whirlwind. Their first kiss had left a lingering warmth, a feeling that Kaira couldn’t quite shake off. Every time she thought about it, a smile would tug at her lips, and her heart would flutter in her chest. Life had always seemed a little uncertain, a little chaotic. But now, with Shubman by her side, everything felt clearer, more certain.

They continued their routine, but everything seemed just a little bit brighter. Each conversation felt deeper, each laugh shared more meaningful. There was a kind of unspoken understanding between them now, something that hadn’t been there before. They didn’t need to fill the silence with words. Just being in each other’s presence was enough.

One evening, after a busy day, Kaira found herself scrolling through her phone, her thoughts drifting. She was at home, curled up on the couch with a cup of tea in hand, when a message notification popped up on her screen.

It was from Shubman.

“Hey, are you free tomorrow?”

She smiled at the message, a familiar flutter in her stomach. The way he made everything seem so simple, yet so exciting, never failed to make her heart race.

“Yeah, I’m free. What’s up?”

“I was thinking we could go for a walk by the beach. Maybe grab some dinner afterward?”

Kaira’s heart skipped a beat. It sounded like the perfect evening. A simple walk, just the two of them. It would be their own little world.

“That sounds amazing. I’d love to,” she replied quickly, her fingers typing the words before her mind could catch up.

“Great. I’ll pick you up at 5 then.”

“I’ll be ready.”

As soon as she sent the message, her excitement grew. She had been waiting for another moment with him, one where they could just be themselves, away from everything else. She wasn’t sure what it was about Shubman that made everything feel so right. Maybe it was the way he understood her without her having to explain herself, or how he made her feel like the most important person in the world.

The next day arrived with the same quiet excitement in her heart. She spent the morning getting ready, making sure she looked her best without overthinking it. She settled on a simple, comfortable outfit—a light blue dress that flowed just right, paired with a denim jacket and sandals. She didn’t want to overdo it, but she wanted to look nice for him.

At 5 p.m., she heard the sound of a car pulling up outside her house. She quickly grabbed her bag and rushed to the door, her heart beating a little faster with every step. As soon as she opened the door, there he was—Shubman, standing with a smile that made her pulse race.

“You look beautiful,” he said, his voice low, his eyes shining with warmth.

Kaira felt her cheeks flush. “Thanks,” she replied, trying to keep her composure. “You look good too.”

He chuckled softly, offering his arm for her to take. “Shall we?”

Kaira smiled and linked her arm with his, feeling the comforting presence of him beside her. Together, they walked toward the car, the evening air warm and inviting, carrying the scent of the sea. The drive to the beach was filled with light conversation, their voices blending together in a rhythm that felt natural.

When they arrived at the beach, the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, casting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The waves rolled gently onto the shore, creating a soothing melody that calmed Kaira’s nerves. She loved the beach—the sense of freedom it gave her, the way it felt like the world could be at her feet.
