I started to move back until, until I was blocked by a wall.
He inched c...
It was an autograph of the one and only I've been craving for all my life! The one and only, my idol, my inspiration, my everything, The Akshay Kumar. . . .
"H-How did you know that I was dying to get this?" I asked still not able to digest this as reality.
"I-I did not get that, mom told me that once you told her that you are a diehard fan, so I just got it from Akshay Sir." He said with a tinge of red. Yes, once I was at their place to get bake a cake with Aunty on Akshay Kumar's birthday and I told her that.
I owe one for her. She still remembers that!
"What's in the other two boxes?" I asked.
"You can check them out." He told me.
"I'm telling you, if there are spiders, I can handle, but if a cockroach is there, I'll kick your pea sized balls."
"You think my balls are pea sized?"
"From the whole sentence, you caught only this?" I chuckled.
"You are testing my masculinity, sweetheart." He said inching closer.
I started to move back until, until I was blocked by a wall.
He inched closer and brought his face closer to mine. I wanted to stop him. I had to stop him. He cannot take my first kiss like that. Will he kiss me even? Oh God! He does not like me, I do not like him. He's just pranking. But for some reason, I was not able to stop him.
I've always imagined how my first kiss would be. A nice date followed by a passionate kiss.
Suddenly Kartik put one of his arm on the wall blocking my way to go out.
"Won't you stop me?" He spoke, sounding husky.
He moved his free hand on my face, caressing it.
"If I do this." He trailed his fingers along my jawline.
"If I do this." He brought pecked on my left cheek with the softest pressure possible.
What was he doing to me? I cannot let him affect me like that. He will think that I'm like other girls, falling for him because he is a celebrity. I always want to be special and unique.
He backed off and started laughing at my face.
I was turning into a ripe tomato. How dare he? He laughed until his stomach hurt. He was wiping off his tears and I don't know what is it. Slowly, his laughter faded out and he bit his bottom lip to prevent laughing. I wanted to rip that expression off his face.
"Oh Deep! You... Were... So... Shocked..." He said in between his laughter.
I ran and went inside my room, upstairs. I'm not going to show him my face until he apologizes. He can't affect me. First he will make me fall for his charm and then he'll be laughing off at me saying that it was prank.
I again went out and saw Kartik watching TV, ignoring my presence. I came there and took away the two boxes with me.
"You can thank me too, Deep." he said.
"Oh Yes! Thanks for showing your face today! But I'm sorry, you did not make my day any better." I said sarcasm dripping my sound.
And I went off. What might be there in these boxes? Should I open the smaller one first? Yes, that is the best idea. Actually, when I say small, it's actually pretty small.
I opened the box and an excited shriek escaped my mouth. Wow! So beautiful. But it must have costed a lot. Yes, it was a very beautiful diamond bracelet.

I went down, holding the bracelet very carefully, in case it slips off my hands.
"Kartik! Listen." I called him out.
He turned towards me and patted the seat next to him on the sofa.
"Yes, sweetheart."
"Uh.. I cannot afford this." I said moving the bracelet carefully towards him.
He chuckled and said, "Why, sweetheart?"
"Kartik this is too expensive. I cannot afford to buy it. It's a very small thing for you but it's really a big deal for me. Moreover, it will take my whole life to buy this. It's very beautiful and costly. What if I lost it? What if I damage it? What if... " My voice was muffled by his hand on my lips.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Slow down lady. I know it's expensive but I bought it... I mean, mom bought it specially for you. She told me that you would like it." He said.
"Umm... Okay..." I said.
"Why don't you wear it with the dress in the other box?" He asked.
"What? Is there a dress in the other box? Oh My God! Kartik you don't have to do all this!"
Why is he doing this?
"Oh my dear Deep! That's absolutely fine with me."
"By the way Kartik, can I talk to Mala Aunty? I wanna thank her for all this!"
"Ya... Ya..." He said hesitantly.
"Hello Mom! Ya I'm fine! I've eaten food. I've... Yes mom! I'm good and fit and healthy. Acha Listen, I... I'm here with Deep... I mean Deepika and she wants to talk to you! So should I handle her the phone?"
Aww... He looked so cute, talking to his mom.
Snap. Out. Of. It. Deepika.
And Kartik handed me his mobile phone. Our fingers brushed and I again felt jitters of electricity through my body.
"Hello? Aunty?"
"Hello! Deepika beta! How are you?"
"Namaste Aunty! How are you?"
And we talked for sometime. I saw Kartik engrossing back to the TV, so I went to my room.
As we were talking, I said, "Thank you Aunty for the gifts, though they are very expensive, Kartik had made me keep them. Thanks a lot!"
She chuckled and then asked me if I was alone right now. I told her yes.

Hey Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
A/N - I tried my best to add romance here. If you liked it, then please tell me. I know that I'm dragging the day Kartik has arrived but I'm really a starter and don't know much. Writing to me is just an escape from reality.
Question of the day - What do you think will be the reaction of Mala aunty when Deepika tells her that the gifts are by her?
