- Chapter 15 B-
2 months later, winter
I wake up to find the entire city covered in a white blanket. It has snowed last night and it looked just beautiful. I could help but fall in love with the first snowfall of the year. It was just so beautiful.
I dressed warmly and as I stepped outside my apartment, I saw that despite it only nearing the end of November, the Christmas decorations had begun.
But that was probably where my happy mood ended. I had come down to my car and realised that I, being the huge idiot I was, had forgotten to park my car in the underground parking. Instead, I had left it in the outer lot, completely forgetting about the forecast for today when I had come back from work last night. The thing wouldn't even start.
Seeing no other option, I pulled out my phone and called Raghu, hoping to catch a ride with him. Sure enough, he was there, earlier than he had promised, and drove us.
Once we reached, I noticed that it wasn't just in my apartment that was filled with the eagerness for the Christmas festivities. Parts of the campus were decorated by fellow students, spreading the Christmas spirit throughout the entire campus.
Raghu and I walked to the first class that we had, all set for this lovely season up ahead.
A few weeks later, Christmas Eve
"Oh come on Antara. You have to wear that Santa hat, it'll look adorable with your dress," Riya says as I sit down after standing in front of the mirror for a good ten minutes, contemplating on whether or not the hat looked good on me.
"You sure?" I ask, picking it up once again. "I'm sure. Now put it on."
I sigh and put it on while fixing my hair.
Tonight was Christmas eve. A group of friends had invited all of us to a party in a nearby club, the theme obviously being related to Christmas.
I was strapping my heels on when I heard a knock on the door.
"Raghu must be here," I say, standing up. "How do I look?"
"Gorgeous. Now let's go. Don't want to keep the hottie waiting for too long now, do we?" she says, hooking my arm in hers and heading out.
Raghu was waiting outside of my apartment door and we headed down to his car. I was walking extremely carefully, not wanting to slip on any black ice or rather, any ice. But in the end, I stepped on some ice and lost my balance.
I let out a small shriek and thank god that Raghu was walking behind me and not in front of me. He caught me in time, saving me from falling. He helped me stand up but he didn't take his hands off of my waist. I swear that I could feel the warmth from even under my thick coat.
His eyes looked into mine and it felt as if his stare kept getting intense with each passing second.
"Ahem, love birds! I don't know about you two, but I really wanna go to that party soon!" Riya called. She had already reached the car.
Raghu moved his hands from my waist, slowly, and I could feel the warmth leave my body. I was about to take another step, but I looked down at my hand when I felt a firm grip there. Raghu slowly led me to the car, careful of the ice.
We made to the party after almost half an hour after the ice incident. As soon as we reached the club, all thoughts about the ice and whatnot dissapeared from my mind, leaving me in a complete party mood.
A couple of our friends were standing near the entrance to the club when we walked in and ooed the second Raghu and I walked in.
We stopped in the entrance, confused about what they were talking about. Curious, I looked up and saw a mistletoe on top of the door. Of course.
I nudged Raghu and pointed at the mistletoe. He looked at me with a look of disbelief. I shrugged, not knowing what else to say. Traditions were after all, traditions.
