Part-1B

Hi friends! Here is the next update. When I wrote the first part I did not plan till the end but now I have some ideas in my mind. So, please bear with me.

They talked frequently for the next few days. Nights were more special because she would switch off the lights in her room, lock the door and whisper in the phone so that her parents in the next room would not hear their conversations. There is something so wonderful about talking to your special someone in the night when the whole world is sleeping. In the dark, she used to be a bit more carefree and bold while talking to him than in the daytime.

Sometimes they would talk till late night and in the early hours of morning they would sleep with the phone still switched on, smile on their lips dreaming about each other. They talked about their childhood memories, parents, college days, hobbies, movies, ambitions, future dreams, anything under the sun. Sometimes they used to call each other just to hear the other's voice.

In the office, she used to stare at his pic in her mobile whenever she felt tired. She used to feel rejuvenated looking at him. There was a spring in her step and the smile never left her face. They went out only once for the shopping for engagement but they did not have time to spend time alone because their parents were present as well.

She was staring at the different cosmetic products in the shop looking clearly out of depth. She had no idea about what type of makeup is good for her. she never preferred make up but he informed her that his friends wanted to meet her in the evening and her mother insisted that she should make an effort to get ready at least this time.

She selected a few of them and applied face pack in the afternoon. Within five minutes she felt as though her face was burning and it began to itch horribly. She hurriedly washed her face and was horrified to look herself in the mirror. There were rashes all over her face and it was slightly swollen. Her mother was appalled at her state and immediately took her to skin specialist. He informed her that she had allergy due to the cosmetics and gave her medicines. She was terribly upset and ashamed to meet him in the evening. He would be disappointed to introduce his future wife in such a state to his friends. She did not pick his calls. She locked herself in the room and buried her face in the pillow with tears flowing from her eyes.

She woke up when her mother was knocking on her door continuously. She opened it and was horrified to find him behind her mother and she quickly turned back not knowing what to do. She could not face him right now. She could not look into his beautiful eyes and find herself ugly in them. She did not want to see the disgust on his face. Her mother left them alone and he patiently waited for her to turn back. Seeing that there was no willingness from her side, he gently touched her shoulder and turned her to face him. She had her head bent down and he asked her with soothing voice"Is it paining a lot?"

She nodded her head in a no. He kissed her fore head, the light touch of his lips communicating his feelings towards her, sending tremors in her body. He lifted her chin and wiped her tears with such care & affection that fresh tears appeared in her eyes again.

"I am sorry. You wanted to meet your friends and I spoiled everything. I have never applied any makeup in my life and did not know what to do. I did such a stupid thing and..."

"SShh! He placed a finger on her lips. There is no need to feel guilty about this. It's okay. Don't worry about anything" he gently patted her head.

"I do not want to meet your friends in this state" she sobbed.

He cradled her face in his hands "What people think about you doesn't matter to me. I would have introduced you to them anyways and I would feel proud to introduce you but what matters to me the most is you are worried & upset over meeting them. So, I will postpone the meeting but always remember one thing. I can never be ashamed of you. Your beauty is in your simplicity, your innocence, your thoughts, your heart and soul. You looked beautiful to me when I saw you for the first time. You look beautiful to me today and will look beautiful to me tomorrow. No matter what happens, you will always be most beautiful girl for me. Don't look into in to the mirror to see your beauty. Just look into my eyes once and you will know it yourself.

She hesitatingly raised her eyes with great difficulty still slightly afraid of the way he might be looking at her face. When she met his eyes, all of her fears and doubts vanished. She never looked so beautiful. His eyes were so full of love that she felt that she must be the luckiest girl on the earth to have that ocean of love for herself. She felt deeply connected to him, the intensity a hundred times more than the first time she saw him at the seminar. She fell in love with the image of herself in his eyes .For the first time in her life; she felt that she must be truly beautiful and very special to someone.

He wanted to see her beauty in his eyes but she fell in love with his beautiful soul that was visible through his eyes. She confessed to herself for the first time that she was in love with him.
