One Fated encounter ✓

Man of Action

Saki's POV:

This day could never get more hectic. I got an earful when I reached home from my overprotective brother as the first impression of Arjun was not great. He generally supports me in all my decisions, but with Arjun he seems to be little off. I have decided to introduce Arjun little sooner to Vicky so that he would feel secured. Are you really confident that after the meeting, Vicky would feel secured? I mused

Today was my first date, Yes, I have never been interested or attracted to anyone so far which I couldn't help it. Like any other girl, I had my own expectations. I wanted him to pick me up or at least show up before I reach, made an effort to please me by holding my hand or opening the door for me, well it's not that I can't open the door, I have two hands, but I expected that. I expected him to treat me little special, I expected a small gift from him...I didn't look forward for anything big or high priced but something that he could have afforded like flowers.

Psst! I threw myself down on the bed. Well, How did I end up being the one who miss him, being the one who think of coming home late...one wanting to say please don't go away...one to say stay with me for little longer..How could it be just ME ALWAYS? I dwelled on.

I thought I would only be back late at night and he would cling and not let me go but he left early to meet his friends. I took the phone contemplating if I should send a message. I typed and re typed almost several times wondering what to send...should I ask him if he has reached home? Had dinner? Hmm after deleting all the things that I wanted to ask I ended up with 3 words

"I miss you"

I was holding my finger on the send option and my phone range

"Dimple, I think I lost my direction", He stumbled out

"from Where? Where are you?"

"To your heart", he chuckled

"Sshh, my heart skipped a beat, I thought you really lost somewhere. Why do you feel that you lost direction to my heart anyway?"

"Coz...am still worried...tell me are you not jealous even a small percent...tiny...tiny...tinyyyy bit or do you really believe me"

"It's 24th time.."

"What? 24?"

"Its 24th time, you asked the same question and my answer is not going to change how many ever time you ask...,I am not jealous and I believe you"

"OK mam, but Why are you counting it by the way"

"Coz I wanted to see how many times it takes to convince you so that next time I will know that I should push you that much"

"Dimple, you know you are..."

"Stupid. Right" and I heard him laugh hard and he said "You are my cute sweetttie pie"

Suddenly I felt very hot and needed fresh air and moved to balcony.

"Arjun, can I ask you something...why did you save me that day when we just met? And would you have done it even if there was another girl?"

"Are we playing truth or dare? Can I choose dare...?"

AaaaaHHHH! I screamed and banged myself to the door as there was a cat jumped from the next door terrace. I lost my balance and dropped my phone and it fell down on the road and landed front side on concrete.

Oh Jeez! I shouted and ran down to pick the same. I was praying hard that there should not be any damage but in vein. The front glass was cracked and shattered. It didn't work. I was horrified at the thought that I would not be able to call Arjun immediately.
