ANCHOR [ completed ]

A FINE NIGHT

'Yeah' and 'okay'.  I said two words.  WOW..  Only two words????  TWO WORDS?? 
I should die. I came all the way here,  met him and what did I say?  Yeah,  Okay. 

UUUUGGGHHHH...!!!!!!!!!

I was pulling my hair. My room was soooo empty.

I cried.

I am scared . What should I do?  My lips got sealed when I saw him. Other teams are sooo good . They talk with him,  make him laugh.  And there is me. Standing in the corner.

WHERE ARE YOU SHAYANI??????

             **(KNOCK KNOCK) ***

Management team came to gave me a letter.

It's an invitation.

Dinner invitation.

With HIM.

TONIGHT.

WHAT????

TONIGHT????

.............................................................

I pulled myself in.  Restored my energy. Got ready for the DINNER.

I wore a golden white dress , red heels,  black purse.  Soft pink lipstick, with a little bit of kajal. I took the card I made for him.
I was waiting in my room then another knock.

It was druwal.

'Hey Disha. Wow.....!!!!!!  someone will be happy. Let's go, I will take you to him' , Druwal said. 

I never thought I will see Druwal like this. He was escorting me to Darshan.

Druwal drove me to a restaurant which is pretty much far away from the hotel.
My heart started thumping.

' He is waiting for you ' , Druwal said with a sweet smile.

" Did he met with the other teams? ", I asked.

"Huh?  Why would he?  You are special , that's why. " Druwal replied.

WHAT?

I am what?

SPECIAL???  BUT WHY???

We stopped in front of a hallway.

" Just go straight,  open the door,  he'll be there. " Dhruwal showed me the way and left.

I walked straight and stopped in front of the door.

He'll be there.

My hands were shaking,  it seems like the door was that long social distance which I can break right now.

No...

You have to do this Disha.

I OPENED THE DOOR.

.
.
.
.

Not a single soul was there. The entire hall was empty. No waitresses,  No customers. 
The ambience was amazing,  I can hear the 'saari ki saari' tune. And then I saw him.
In a corner table.  That was table for two. Beside the window.

He wore a  grey tee with a Black jacket,  Black jeans,  Brown shoes.

He was preparing the table. Arranging the glasses.
He sensed my presence and looked at me.

WHOA..!!!!  The way he looked was very precious. His sparkling eyes,  pinkish soft lips, and a pure smile in the corner of his lips.  It was magical.

"Finally!  Welcome Disha..!! " , he said.

His deep heavy husky voice,  but soft.   

I approached to him.

He pulled the chair for me,  help me to sit.  GOD...... HE IS SUCH A GENTLEMAN.

"Soooo,,,, first things first.. What will we eat today?  Darshan asked.

Me: We?  I mean yeah. Ohhh no... Haha.

As usual I was mumbling.

Darshan: Disha..!!  Relax.  I am not a lion.

The more I hear his voice,  the more I was falling for him.

Me: How?  How Darshan?  I can't even believe you are in front of me.

Darshan: Okay...!! 

He smiled,  and suddenly he took my hand out of my lap.
He hold my hand tightly.

Darshan: Can you believe now? 

He smiled very gently. His warm hand hold my hand so tightly that he could feel my pulse.
My heart was beating soooo fast. And then my heart cheated on me. It started crying.

Darshan: Ohh No.. Hey hey,  I didn't want you to cry,,  heyy.. Please stop. Look. Okay. Ummmm... Should we dance,  or sing a song?  OK leave it, lets order.

He tighten his grip.  And that calmed me down.

Me : yeah.. Sorry about that. I just... Huuhhhh... Yeah.. Let's order.

Darshan clapped once.
