Guys this is the 3rd and last part..
Hope you all enjoy reading it..
They came inside the room n there they were Infront of the mirror..Preeta guiding him with the fittings..
Karan helped her tie the chain of her back first..He did it with utmost care not to hurt her..
Preeta..she felt something different..why his touch affects her? Affects her so bad..? She closed her eyes, extremely affected by the warmth of his touch.. His touch..she feels different.. different when his hands land on hers.. when his hands mingle with that strangle of her hair..His hands around her arms..n today..his hands at her back..She could realize that.. the soft feel of his touch..
And karan? He felt little awkward..he has been around so many girls, close to them, touching them, but this girl? She is different. Her presence, her essence, her fragrance, her smile.. everything. Never did he felt so much drawn towards somebody.. a girl quite like him yet so different...yes a simple girl whom he claims as 'not my type'..You know he is 'the Karan Luthra'...the star cricketer..then? Why he finds himself more into her with each passing day..?? Is she that muchh special..? Maybe.. There is something in her which he never saw in any of the girls before..
"Umm..i think..its done..You..check it once.." Karan looked at her n said still with a bit of awkwardness..
Preeta turned to look at the back of her through the mirror.. He did it quite perfectly.
" Yeahh. It's done! Thankyouu "
Karan smiled.
There was a feeling of awkwardness between the two of them. And this was probably for the first time. When it comes to physical proximity they had always been very much comfortable with each other. But today was different. The silence that prevailed between them expressed it all..
"Umm..ek baat puchu?" (Can i ask you something?) Preeta said.
"Kya?"
"Tumne ye pehle bhi kabhi kiya hai kyaa...with somebody..?? I mean you did this so perfectly..Ok i've guided youu..but..."
"Ohh hello.. I m doing this for the first time ok? Ab everybody is not a psycho like you to have problems like this.."
Karan leaned towards her n said "i don't do things for other people so easily..but when i do..i do it perfectly n completely"
Preeta pushed him back.
"Ok. Ok. Chalo abhii" (Let's go now.)
She turned to move out of the room when suddenly her feet got slipped,
"Oouucchh"
"Sambhaalke!" (Careful)
Karan gave his support to her and held her by her waist.
"Ekk toh itnii heavy dress hai yeh( This dress is so heavy)..what was the need to give such heavy dre..."
Karan turned to look at Preeta only to find her already staring at him..Her eyes..Those were something he gets attracted to the most..He just couldn't take his eyes off her.. And they shared that passionate eyelock recalling all their past meetings, how this girl one fine day coincidentally landed in the cricketer's car n instantly disliked him to today where they still couldn't figure out their exact feelings for each other though they now knew somewhere in their hearts it wasn't hate anymore..they shared an intense eyelock, lost into each other's eyes, lost into each other's arms, completely lost into each other...
"Bhaaaii.. Darwaja kholo" (open the door)
There was a knock in the door.
They broke away from each other and turned to look at the door, only such hard knock could have brought them back into this world..
"Umm..i..guess..Its kritikaa.." Preeta said.
"Yess..let me open it"
Karan opened the door.
"Bhai..wo niche.." Kritika saw Preeta still in Karan's room n gave a confused look..
Karan n Preeta looked at each other.
"Preeta Tum yaha? I thought you r done with this n u r downstairs."
"Haa Kritika..wo actually..karan was helping me in.."
"In..in telling her how she is looking" Karan interrupted Preeta n signalled her not to say the truth.
"Actually she is done and was about to go but then i was here so she was asking me if she is looking fine..its such a big party naa what if she isn't looking good its not her dress afterall..Hainaa?? Karan looked at Preeta for approval.
"Aa.. haa..haa.. i was just asking him that..Kritika i m looking ok naa??" Preeta asked kritika.
" Arre haa..you look fab as always..i think my dresses suits you more than me.."
"Ha ha you look good preeta.." Karan kind of approved kritika's compliment..
Preeta smiled.
"Ab chalo aap log dono..niche sab wait kar rahe haii.." (Now come you too.. everyone is waiting downstairs)
Kritika held Preeta's hand n took her.
KRITIKA'S MONOLOGUE:
(Ha Ha aur jhooth bol lo dono..I know u both were not here for this simple reason..If you were to ask about looks what's the need to go inside the room, can't it be asked standing outside??
I am damn sure they were romancing inside..Hmmm..one day i'll catch them red handed, tab dekhti hu kaise bahana marte hai ye") Kritika smiled..
While going Preeta did what she never fails to do nowadays. Its like a habit to her now.. She turned back to look at him only to find him already looking at her..Maybe he was waiting for it too..
She smiled. He smiled back.
'Yess..indeed she was looking beautiful..perhaps very beautiful..'
