Astha's POV :-
" Mam please be still or else your nails will get skewwhiff." The beautician said.
" Sorry." I said and steadied myself on the chair with the cucumber slices again threatening to slide down. Seriously how do everyone else manages to put them on without difficulty?
You by now have guessed where am I, right? If not then let me tell you that I am in heaven. What? I'm serious. This place is not less than that. This beauty salon cum spa cum boutique is one of Mumbai's top. Abhay was not lying when he said that I should pamper myself like the wife of a CEO. He made sure of that.
Sitting on this luxurious chair, whiffing the most exotic smell with my feet dipped in the most relaxing footbath, I am feeling like a queen. Never in my life I had stepped foot in a place like this. Two women were standing on my sides. One was holding a tray of delicious food and the other was doing something with my hair. But sadly as my face is plastered with white mask and my eyes with slippery cucumber slices I am not able to absorb the beauties on the trays nor I am able to take a bite. This is what we call water water everywhere but not a drop to drink.
After about two hours I am finally done with my beautification part, now I am in the dress and shoe trial part. Again two women are here at my sides. One deciding which dress will go with me and the other choosing the matching shoes.
" Yes, this will be perfect for you mam. Here raise your hands and we will slip it up on you." I did as I was instructed.
" Marvelous... I'm always right with dresses, right Rupa?" One of the women said. I guess she is the head of this boutique.
" Yes mam, your skills are unparalleled." The other said fitting the heels on me. " There you go mam. You are all ready. Here take a look." She said turning me to a floor length mirror.
I am left flabbergasted again. Like the time when Abhay bought me a dress to wear in a party, now too I am not able to recognise myself. Who is the beautiful woman standing in front of me?
After some time....
It is nearing 6 and I lazily stand up from my couch. Time to wear the dress again.
After I was done in the salon cum boutique, I was brought home by the driver. No no wait... the pampering doesn't ends here. Before leaving the driver handed me a packet. I thought to enquire him about that but he left before I could even utter a word. So left with no choice, I brought it with me to my apartment. Since it was sent by Abhay and delivered by his driver,so it was safe to bring inside. No danger of bombs or murderers hidden inside the packet. Okay, the packet was too small to hide a man but you can't play with chances right! So coming inside I quickly unwrapped the packet to find my second love there. Any guesses what it could be? Yes if your guess was food then you are one hundred percent right. Two boxes with my favourite Chinese food was there along with a note. I unfolded it. It read -
Did you thought that I will snatch you from your second love. Yes I know how much you love food. And so here is my second gift of the day. Enjoy. And yes don't be late for our dinner date. You know na, how much I hate waiting. Love you.
Your's and only your's
Abhay
I smiled and dug inside my heaven.
Coming to the present, I cautiously put on the dress after applying my make-up in the way which was taught by the beautician. And after securing my pre-made hair, I was all done. Glancing at the watch, it was still ten minutes to seven. I sure am really fast, right.
Then at exactly seven, my bell rang. I stood up and walked to the door nervously. This would be my first official date with him. And certainly my first ever in life. What will I say. Hell I don't know what to do in a date. I just hope that I don't ruin it. So crossing my fingers I opened the door. My eyes roamed shamelessly on the master piece that was standing in front of me. The butterly deliciousness was replaced by the hottness of Peri peri chilli. Yes he was looking extremely hot!
" As much as I would like to stand here and let you take up my hottness but sadly I promised you a date, so I think we should go." He said smirking.
" I'm not ogling at you." I said defensively.
" I didn't imply it like that but if you are talking it in that way then what can I do?" He said smiling mischievously.
" Can we just go." I said trying to hide my embarrassment.
" Oh yes, I forgot. Here these are for you and by the way you look amazing." He said handing me a flower bouquet.
" Thank you. And you too look good." I said blushing.
" Aww just good. From the way you were ravishing me from your eyes, I thought you would say something on the Tom Cruise line. But thank you. I already know that I'm more than handsome." He said smirking. " Now let's go."
He opened the car door for me and after he was sure that I settled in comfortably, he too got in and started the engine.
" Where are we going?" I asked once we covered some distance.
" Wasabi." He said casually like it was just another street tea stall and not one of Mumbai's most expensive restaurants.
" What Wasabi but why?" I don't see the reason to spend masses when you can get the same thing by not burning a hole in your pocket too.
" You don't like Japanese? I thought you would like that." He said with a fallen face.
" No, I like it but that one is too expensive!"
" I can afford it. I'm a billionaire, Remember!" He said arrogantly. And what can I say after that so instead I decided to view the scenes outside .
" How was your day?" He spoke after some time.
" It was great, thanks." I said smiling.
" Glad that it was able to please you." He said stopping the car in front of the restaurant.
As we entered inside, a lady came to us.
" Welcome sir, mam. Your table is there." She said smiling and directed us to our table.
" And here are your menus. If you need anything please let me know sir." She said half formally and half seductively. I smiled in amusement. As soon as the flower is bloomed, the bees starts to hum around.
" Thank you." Abhay said keeping his eyes at me and without throwing a glance at her. She scowled at that and left.
" Why you are smiling?" He asked smiling too.
" No reason. Just felt like it." I said still smiling.
"You know I was first pulled towards you because of your madness and wierd self."
What? Did he just casually hinted that I'm mad? Just because I smiled?
I was about to ask him that when Samarth suddenly appeared from nowhere.
" Oh hey guys, what a lovely surprise!" He said sliding in the chair next to me. " I hope am not intervening something." Abhay's expression changed from a happy and smiling one to an irritated one in an instant. I just hope he doesn't kill his own brother.
