Text to Heart

As she danced to the Bollywood song 'Mehendi hai rachne wali' in front of the gathered audience, she pirouetted once prettily, her green lehenga flaring around her and her smile charming everyone present, but when she returned to the front, she caught a glimpse of him. Their eyes locked and her heart stuttered to a stop! Unable to control the thrill that zinged through her entire being which his gaze produced, her feet wobbled and she stumbled and crashed into the person dancing next to her. All her sense of reason lost.

She had a vague idea that she was being held by someone and made to sit, some people had stood up in concern and that music was being turned down, but all she could focus was on Him, and his intense hard eyes that were not giving her the permission to lower her gaze, to break the connection. Her heart thundered in her chest and blood rushed to her face staining her cheeks scarlet "I...I..." involuntarily she tried speaking to say something to him as if her voice could carry over all that noise and din to the far edge of the hall where he was sitting with the groom, perhaps to demand where he had been all these years or perhaps to apologize for the way she had insulted him five years ago but no coherent words could form and eventually someone came between the line of their vision and the connection was broken.
