Part 8

He was sitting on the corner table of caf and waiting for her, impatiently. He looked at his watch, its 8:15am already and then at caf's door. There was no sign of her. His heart dropped thinking that maybe he did hurry in asking for meet. He knew she is not like the other girls and that's why he truly loves her. His heart filled with sadness as he closed his eyes, disappointed with himself.

Suddenly the wind changed and he felt different what he feels whenever she is around. He opened his eyes and looked at the door and found her standing there and looking around. A wide smile formed on his lips seeing her as he has got the biggest happiness of his life. His every doubt had vanished from her presence.

He stood up from his seat as their eyes met.

Taani and aashi were sitting in her car, outside the caf from last 15 minutes. From the moment they left from her house she was so happy and excited but after reaching there, suddenly she becomes so much nervous to go inside and meet him but thankfully aashi was there to boost her confidence. She was conscious about her looks because she wants to look perfect in front of him.

"Taani, this is the last time I'm saying this to go inside and meet him or else we're going college." Aashi threatened her after tired of trying so much to convince her to meet him. Taani's eyes went wide hearing this.

"No." she said instantly in loud voice. Aashi smirked.

"I mean... I'm going." Taani said in low tone realizing what she did.

"Good... and all the best." Aashi boosted her last time with smile.

Taani stepped out from the car and walked towards caf. As she entered she looked around to search him and then noticed he was sitting on corner table and looking her he stood up his seat.

As soon as their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat. She lost in his chocolate brown eyes which do some kind of magic on her whenever she looks into them. He was looking the way beyond handsome in his three piece suit, neatly jelled up hair and with his charming smile. She starts walking towards him in daze.

He was looking at her dreamingly as she was coming towards him. As she was coming close to him his heart was beating loudly that he could hear his own heart beat. She was looking so beautiful in her knee length dress, her waist long hair were opened and flying with the motion of her walking, her hazel brown eyes were shining with innocence and a beautiful shy smile was adoring her lips, making her look heavenly.

She came and stood before him but he was still lost in her but came back to his senses hearing her voice.

"Reyansh." She called him when she looked him lost.

"Hmm... Hi." He greeted her coming out from his dreamland, embarrassed.

"Hi." She replied with shy smile.

"You are looking beautiful." He mumbled admiring her but loud enough for her to hear which turned her red in shyness.

"Sorry for coming late." She apologized sweetly after sometime.

"It's fine." He spoke with smile and signaled her to sit and pulled a chair for her like a perfect gentleman then she sat down. Then he himself settled down opposite her.

There was an awkward silence between them. He was staring her intensely and she was looking down sensing his heated gaze on her. He could see how nervous she was but then he starts the conversation.

"Coffee..?" he asked to make her comfortable. She nodded and then they ordered their coffee.

"So... how's everything..? I mean... your college and all." He starts casually, was preparing himself and making a situation to talk further.

"Everything is going good." She replied.

Like this they starts talking on random thing as he wanted to make her comfortable first. Though she was happy with their meet but still was confused that why he has called her here. Till then their order had arrived. He could see her confusion and decided it's time to speak his heart out.

"Taani... I know you wanted to know why I have called you here." He spoke as looking straight into her eyes. She looked at him as she nodded slightly. He took deep breath and spoke.

"Taani... I... I LOVE YOU."

Finally he said looking straight into her eyes what he wanted to say her from so long. Yeah, there is not more than a week they have met but from then every minute seems like a years to him. Other side, her eyes went wide in shock after hearing his confession. She didn't expect this.. not actually this soon. Suddenly her heart beat raised. She was feeling excitement and nervousness both together.

"I don't know kaise, kab but I really love you a lot. Aaisa maine kabhi kisi ke liye feel nahi kiya, Taani. You're the only girl jise dekh ke, jisse milke I feel you're the one jiske sath main apni puri life spent karna chahta hoon. I know you're thinking we don't even know each other properly and how this would happen this soon...but love only happens like this... kabhi bhi, kisi se bhi... bas ho jata hai." he spoke further pouring his heart out with so much love and softness in his voice, when he looked her shocked expression. She could see honesty, love and affection for her in his eyes. He meant every word which he said.

"You know, Taani, they say love-at-first-sight' and I think it's true in my case. Maybe I'm sounding like a desperate one but I couldn't keep my feeling for you in my heart, anymore." He said as he chuckled nervously. She was still looking at him silently didn't have any idea what should she do or say to him.

"I don't know that you also feel for me the same or not but your eyes says that you definitely feel something for me." After some moments silence he said this because he knew her eyes are the mirror of her heart and he had seen how her eyes shine brightly after his confession.

She looked down not wanted him to read her eyes. First she was shocked hearing his confession but the truth is her heart swell with happiness knowing that he loves her. The man she admires from their first meet, loves her. She never thought the perfect guy like him who is every girl's dream guy will ever feel for her like this.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you. I just wanted to tell you what I feel for you, it doesn't mean that you also feel or reciprocate the same." He said in low sad tone when he noticed her silently looking down. He doesn't want to force her for anything or embarrass her. He was sad thinking that she doesn't love him but one thing was sure that he will never stop loving her.

She looked up at him with frown hearing his apology. He took her silence in a wrong way. She was silent because she was confused with her own feelings. She knew whatever he said was truth and meant it but what about her feelings. He was right that she feels something strong for him but.. Is it LOVE?

"No, Reyansh.. aisi baat nahi hai... I was just..." she started off not wanted him to feel guilty but don't know what she say to him.

"I understand." He replied in low tone with forced smile. She could see the hurt in his eyes and felt bad but she doesn't want to give him false hopes not until she is not sure about her own feelings, she need some time for this.

"I'm getting late for college." She stuttered. He nodded understanding her. After paying the bill they both came out from caf.

"Bye." She said as she looked at him, he gave a nod in return not having trust on his voice.

Turning around she started to move towards her car. He was looking at her retreating back, sadly. His eyes became moist which made his vision blurry. Suddenly he turned around, when he noticed she stopped in her track and was turning towards him, to hide his tears from her. The fear gripped his heart of losing her forever.

She starts walking away from him after biding him but her mind was only thinking about his words. With each step which she was taking away from him dropping her heart. Everything was playing in front of her eyes, his confession, his eyes which were full of hope and then sadness in them and now this distance is making her restless, as if something precious is leaving behind.

She stopped and turned behind to look at him as her heart told her but frowned when she noticed him turning away. It hurts her a lot. It never happened before because whenever they met before she always found him standing at his place looking at her when she looked back at him. That moment she realized what she truly feels for him.

"Reyansh." She called him, softly.

He was startled hearing her calling him from behind, after controlling his emotions he turned towards her. She was standing some steps away from him and looking into his eyes. There was something in her eyes which he couldn't recognize but what she said next shocked him.

"I Like You." She said with shy smile. Though, she wanted to say something else but too shy to say that so openly.

He was shocked but surprisingly. He couldn't believe on his ears what he heard. A bright smile took place on his lips hearing her cute confession. Though she didn't say directly but her eyes were telling her heart's hidden feelings and it was enough for him.

He was smiling like a crazy and in excitement moved forward to embrace her in his arms but stopped thinking that it maybe made her uncomfortable.

She looked down nervously seeing him coming near her but then smile when he didn't. It made her believe more strong that she hadn't taken this decision in hasty.

"Taani... thank you." He said in soft tone. She looked up and both lost in each other's eyes.

"Main jaun?" she asked after sometime broking the eye lock.

"Huuh... haan." He replied disheartened with sad pout which made her giggle.

"Bye." She said sweetly.

"Bye." He waved at her and stood there staring at her smilingly until she wasn't disappear from his sight. Then he moved towards his car with big content smile and drove away.

Unknown to both of them one person was keeping eye on them from the moment they entered in caf till they left from there.
