Our life again (Modern ArDi)

Date?

Mallini's POV 

I seriously can't stop thinking about him. Every little thing reminds of him. It's just so...... different. Even  though I'm socially awkward I have talked to boys and let me tell you I have never felt this way before. 

A week after our last meet 

So I was on my way to work, as usual when I felt something in the air. I knew something was up and and who was behind it. It had to be Krishna. He was always trying to pull pranks on me and make my life more...... interesting. God knew what he had planned today.  Suddenly, I felt someone's shoulders brush against mine. Way to burst my bubble! As I turned back to give them a cold glare I realized that I knew that face. It was him, Arjun!

" Hey, I never thought an IT professional would be walking, when they could drive." I said to him when I tapped him on his shoulder. I felt him shudder at my touch. As he turned I had a great chance to look at him facial features.

His cheekbones high and prominent, with his sharp jaw, I felt him just glisten in the sun. However, that wasn't the part that made me melt. It was his eyes. He was Medusa only you wouldn't turn to stone by his gaze but into honey.

Arjun's POV 

When someone touched my shoulder, I shuddered. What else could I have done? When I turned around, I saw her again. The woman how rules my mind. When she stared into my eyes I couldn't resist the urge to do the same. 

Why was she named Malini, for Kamakshi would be better suited. Her eyes looked so innocent and pure. Untouched by the evil hands of the Kaliyug. I have never met such a woman in my life. This was the perfect chance! I could finally ask her on a date.

"Umm, this is awkward but do you want to possibly meet me for coffee sometime?" I asked feeling my cheeks burn with embarrassment.

"Sure, Let's meet at 5 this evening?" she replied.

That mere sentence got my heart beating faster. This was how it feel to be in love! It's not like I haven't been on a date before, but it's always been one sided. 

Hey Madhava, what kind of dream is this?

Malini's POV

Oh no, I was going to be late! Tardy on your first date, what a good start. He's probably going to hate me but what could I do, my boss wanted me to work late. There was only one solution I could think of. Praying.

"Hey Lord Shiva, help me out here! " I thought.

I was helpless in the hands of destiny. All I could do was wait. Wait for some miracle to happen.

Just then I heard my phone buzz. When I switched it on, I saw a text from my boss.

 We're closing right now for an emergency. You can continue on with your day. It said.

I hugged my phone tight to my chest. I guess God's on my side for a change. Maybe we are meant to be!
