CHASING STARS

Chapter 18 - ( TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH)

       

 

Happy Reading :)

There are moments in his life he wish to never forget. Pain, struggle, cruelty, loss of loved ones, betrayal. His darkness is important to him. It drives him. He is familiar with all of them. He know how to deal with them. And then there are very rare moments he know he will never forget. There she stands the light of his life. Is it madness or euphoria coursing in his veins? He is unable to figure out. She is shaking.. Is she crying? His heart bleeds.

Her back facing him. Her satin royal blue gown is shining only for his eyes. What crazy emotions!! He questions himself again and again.

DESIRE?

LONINGNESS?

NEED?

PASSION?

OBSESSION?

.

.

.

LOVE?

He cannot tell.

So this is how it feels! He is a wreck. He is a mess. He has no idea how to deal with these burning emotions, Only she knows. He waited, waited and counted the seconds. He waited for this moment to breath the same air as her. Now she is here..

She is finally here. Just few steps away. She is aware of his presence now.

It  happened like a dream.

It was something like a miracle.

Something rare
Unforgetteble
Unreal

He found himself saying something to her and... She turned!

Hundred possible scenarios keep playing in her head about how it will happen as Khushi stares at her glammed face in the mirror. Everything around her feels like a circus to her. Someone is doing her hair, someone is doing her make up. They are saying something to her,  she nods her head not registering any single word. She is unusually calm today.

"Goodness! Khushi sweetheart. You look beautiful."  Lavanya's mother Ragini expresses her thoughts delightfully and hugging Khushi instantly. "I am very proud of you"

"Have a good time alright?"  Khushi smiles back at her genuine affection.

Hearing someone gasping aloud. They both turn to look back.

"I cannot believe it! I am genius. Khushi you look stunning. Impressed to his wits, Sam remarks. "Don't worry about the party alright. We will be there with you."

"Chamkili please don't be sad. It's gonna be fine and please smile and have fun okay.

You look gorgeous. I am sure when Asr.. " Lavanya stops in midway as her mother gives her an terrifying look.

"I mean, please trust me with everything and smile please.. Please.. Please?"

"There is nothing like that Lavanya Ji. I trust you and believe me I am totally fine, just nervous and nothing else."

Lavanya smiles fondly

She will never get used to this. Khushi says to herself. She is sticking with Lavanya and Sam.

Afraid to move and losing her way. What kind of strange hell is this? Everyone is so pretty. She is looking like one of them but deep down she feels like a misfit. Her palms are sweaty. She keep questioning her decision about getting into this world of limelight. Their attention to her is unbearable. Greeting everyone with namaste. She wishes to run away and hide.
