-Me again lol.

Back to story please! :D

Nikhil gives me a weird look as I try to dance out with a new style.
But is he checking me out though?!
Aww!
But Weirdo!
Nikhil keeps on ogling my movements before I notice he's been staring at my hand. Not at what I was thinking!
Stupid mind!
I irk in irritation before saying,"Spit it out,Nikhil!"
Nikhil immediately spits out his chewing gum on his hand and hands it out to me!
Eww!!!
I gawk and make an irritated face as Nikhil acts innocently and says,"I did what you asked!"
I give him a stink eye as he smirks and gracefully throws it in dustbin.
I finally say,"You had been staring at my hand."
He stops and glances at me seriously.
He mutters awkwardly,"Actually I was checking you out."
What?
Was my stupid mind right?
My face instantly starts burning up with embarrassing smile and a deep blush as I say,"Oh."
He gives me a small smile before saying,"But I was staring at your hand before."
Wait so my mind thought he was checking out while he was staring at hand?
And then when he was checking out I thought he was staring at my hand?
Wow.
I am stupid.
Nikhil comes near me as my inner thoughts keeps getting weirder. He holds my hand and brings my knuckles near his face before kissing it.
My blush gets deeper and he speaks,"That day when I saw your brother propose to Shyla, I realised what we had missed. That little smiles,anticipation and the bliss was missing. All I gave you was unnecessary media attention and a bucket full of seriousness."
My mind wanders at that day when he proposed.
The ring shone as a reminder.
Nikhil gently holds my chin to look into my eyes as I stood speechless.
He spoke in a soft voice and a tone of promise,"Saira, when that day comes again, I promise you that you won't regret it."
It?
Marriage or our new relationship?
I had a lot of questions but I settled to hug him as he held me.
*********

I couldn't know why I felt weird about Naina.
All the poor girl did was to help her out. But on seeing her again, it made her feel uneasy.
Maybe because this Naina could be Nikhil's Naina?
My mind's taunt had me jealous.
And I hated this feeling.
As soon as Naina saw me,she instantly came with a genuine smile and spoke,"Are you okay?"
I only muttered a feeble yes before she grabbed my hand and took me to a seat that she had saved.
As Naina started ranting how her days had been and how tough competition was getting, I couldn't hear anything. I just gave her few answers.
My mind was in whirlwind before my chance came for second round.
I shook my head before remembering why this chance was important to me.
All my ahead Journey depended on this. I cracked a confident smile, ignorant of my inner turmoil and performed. Unlike last time, this time my body seemed to flow like a fluid with the melody and my expressions were on point.
As my song ended and I gave an ending dance pose, all the judges stood up clapping at my performance.
I held my breath as I watched people hoot and cheer for my performance. This all felt phenomenal.
Like where I deserved to be!
As I walked out of the stage, Naina came back to me and spoke,"Girl! That was a FANTASTIC performance!!!!!"
I laughed at her enthusiasm.
Although I had many questions on her, I figured that I would need a discrete way to get my answers.
Amidst the loud cheers and music, I could see a shadow.
As I peaked a bit towards a mirror, I could see a similar Saree Pallu wrapped in style.
It didn't take a genius to figure it out.
But two could play a game!
Bring it on Mrs Malhotra!
I smirked before heading my way out.
At least according to her.
