Deepa & Kailash FF - *COMPLETED* - Page 31

the pre wedding party was a grand affair. the celebrations were really going in full swing. ajay huge mansion was adorned with all sorts of decorations & people were all streaming in dressed in flashy clothes. kailash had half a mind to turn back & leave but ajay spotted him before he could make his escape. kailash sighed inwardly & forced a smile upon his face & strode towards him. "wow man! you look great!" ajay complimented him. kailash smiled in reply not saying anything. kailash was wearing a collared black polo shirt & a pair of dark blue jeans. he looked simple yet dashing. ajay on the other hand was decked out in a flashy gold kurta. kailash felt that it was a little too filmy & flashy for a pre wedding party but thought that the rest of the guests were also decked out that way. "it must be a way of the rich." he thought to himself as he followed ajay into the brightly lit living area.

kailash had to admit that he was feeling a tad too underdressed for the occasion. he could see designer suits & saris everywhere he turned. the other guests gave him polite nods as ajay introduced them to him but kailash saw the coldness beneath all their eyes. they all had their own agenda to be at the party. it was just but another business deal for them. kailash thanked god that he wasn't like those cold heartless elites. "kailash, you haven't met the most important person in the party. come let's go meet deepa!" ajay brought kailash to a room. the door was ajar & ajay rapped it lightly. "come in!" said that soft voice that sent shivers down kailash's spine. ajay pushed open the door to reveal deepa sitting at the dressing table, still only half ready.

"ajay.. I need to talk to you.. it's about.." deepa paused abruptly as she spotted kailash standing beside ajay. he looked cute in his simple classy ensemble & deepa realised that she's been staring at him through the mirror & caught herself before ajay saw that slip. kailash on other hand was openly admiring deepa. unlike the other women in the party who were decked out in gaudy saris or gagra cholis, deepa was dressed in a sweet dark red sari. matching jewellery adorned her neck & ears. ajay let out a whistle when he saw deepa, kailash almost did the same but stopped himself in the nick of the time. deepa was looking stunning that day & kailash fought down the urge to kiss deepa. she was looking just too pretty that day.

"you look beautiful!" ajay walked up & hugged deepa lightly. he was besotted with the woman in front of him. deepa was the perfect girl for him & he felt like he was the luckiest man in the world because deepa had agreed to marry him. he bent down to kiss deepa & she pushed him away. ajay thought it was because kailash was in the room but it was also because deepa didn't want to kiss ajay in the first place. deepa was trying to put on some bangles but they wouldn't fit through her hands. "here let me try!" ajay volunteered brightly.

but as deepa held out the bangles, ajay's cell shrieked to life & he had to rush away to attend an important phone call. due to his rush, ajay had forgotten that kailash was in the room. he had unknowingly left deepa & kailash in a private place. deepa not wanting to face kailash, turned away & tried to put the bangles on herself. "ouch!" she yelped in pain as the glass scraped her hand. kailash was by her side in a moment. he took her hand without a word & dabbed the cut lightly with his handkerchief. he then placed the hanky on the dressing table & took the bangles. deepa was shocked as he slipped them on one by one without any trouble. he didn't force or hurt her in anyway.

"all done." he told her softly as he slipped the last bangle on. deepa looked up into kailash's face. the intensity in his eyes made her heart skip uncontrollably. she saw passion, love, sorrow & most of all pain evident in kailash's dark eyes. the pain that she had caused him. kailash was overwhelmed at the moment. he felt tears stinging his eyes when deepa looked into his eyes. he knew that she could see all his emotions & pain through them. she gave him that searching look. the look that made kailash want to reach out & scoop her into his arms.

deepa was heart achingly delicate & sweet but she wasn't his. "she isn't mine." kailash thought bitterly for the millionth time. "deepa.. deepa? are you still here?" ajay's voice came from the hallway. kailash immediately moved away from deepa & took his place near the door. "ohh kailash! you're here eh? wow deepa! you managed to put on the bangles by yourself?" he asked her enthusiastically. deepa nodded her answer but her eyes remained locked onto kailash's for a few seconds. she then looked away, took ajay's arm & strode out of the room. kailash stood in the silent room for a while, gathering up his scattered thoughts. then he spun around & followed the couple down to the cheerful living room.
