(valentine's os )
Khushi's POV :
I stare with wide eyes
at the hand extended in front of me and try to hide the unwanted blush that coloured my face as soon as those words left his mouth. "will you dance with me khushi?" he asks and I can do nothing except standing there like a statue with a little wide eyes. Still unable to believe that he is asking me for a dance.
My boss. My love.
Today is valentine's day. The day of love. What could be more good for me than he my love asking me for a dance.
We are standing near a pillar in the hall where the valentine's party is held. AR corp. the company in which I work and which is owned by him , keeps this party every year to celebrate valentine's day.
As every year the theme is red and black and so the ladies are dressed in red and men in black. Even I am
dressed in a simple red saree with golden borders all along and some embroidery work with golden thread on the pallu of my saree. He is dressed in a black
three piece suit, his hair gelled perfectly as always and he is looking as handsome as ever.
From the past two years
I have been working in AR as his secretary. Mostly he brings one of his models or his current girlfriend as his date and dances with her. Today when he came without anybody like anyone else in the party even I was shocked and now when he is asking me for a dance I am even more shocked.
I have been in love with him from the first day I have seen him but for him I am just one of his
employees I know. I know I can never get him but that doesn't stops me from loving him.
I look at his hand and then at him. I pinch myself to check whether I am not dreaming because if this is not a dream then why in the world would Arnav singh raizada the hottest no.one bachelor of town. The most handsome guy would ask me for a dance when he can easily choose any girl because any girl would be ready to
dance with him. But no it's not a dream. Everything is real he is real and his asking me for a dance is real.
He looks at me a little amused when I pinch myself and then repeats "will you dance with me khushi" and I just nod as words don't come out.
He takes me to the dance floor among the other couples who are dancing. Everyone here comes with his or her husband/wife, boyfriend or date. Mostly I was without a date and so never danced.
He slowly pulls my left hand which he was holding till few minutes ago and places it on his right shoulder.
He holds my other hand and entangles it with his own and places his right hand gently on the side of my waist. We gently move on the beat of music. Slowly softly.
I am so lost in his chocolate brown eyes that I barely know what is around. And we keep on slowly dancing until he wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me close still holding my other hand. Till now we were at a safe distance from each other but now our chest are almost touching each other. My heart starts beating even more quickly than before and my breathing almost stops. He leaves the hold of my right palm and places it on his left shoulder and now both my hands are on his shoulder while both is arms are wrapped around my waist. He pulls me even closer and now our chests are touching each other. My soft one against his hard one and my heart skips a beat.
He start moving faster.He then rolls me around, holds me, lifts me and then again we are slowly dancing.
Suddenly the music stops and lights go off and he leaves my hands, I come out of my lost world. For a second I feel scared due to the darkness and his absence.
Then as suddenly the lights went the lights come back. I look around and find that that I am alone at the dance floor and others have moved to the side and are looking at me. I try to search him but he is nowhere to be seen but then I hear him calling my name. "khushi" I follow the voice and found him on his knees in front of me. Surprising he was in front of me and I didn't even knew. But why is he on him knees. A man bends on his knees in front of a woman like this only when he proposes her. OMG does that means he is going to propose me. Here on the dance floor, in the middle of the party hall. For a second I believe that it is true but then the reality strikes me and I know that is some kind of joke. Maybe a kind of bet he usually makes with his brother or friends.
I want to ask him is it a joke or something. Ask him why is he bended on his knee in front of me but then the words don't come out and I stare at him standing like a statue till he says those three magical words "I love you will you be mine forever". I expected myself to be happy to smile and hug my love when he says those words but I don't. I don't because when I expected this I didn't knew that my love would be him. A person whom I know can never love me. How can Arnav Singh Raizada one of the richest guy can be in love with his ordinary middle class secretary. I know him to well to believe this and so I laugh.
An immediate "what the.." escapes his mouth as soon as I start laughing and he stands up and looks at me with a shocked expression.
I laugh not caring about the whole office staff and other clients present in the hall and not caring about his shocked expression.
I soon manage to control my laughter and ask "why are you joking sir?" and now his shocked expression turns to confused and he asks "you think I am joking?"
"why else would you say that you love me, is it a bet or something?" I voice out what is in my mind while deep down my heart wishes it to be true.
"NO dammit" he says in a rather loud tone, anger evident on his face and I don't understand why. "hai'then why are you saying you love me" I ask.
"because I do I LOVE YOU. Do you understand khushi kumari gupta I love you" he says rather harshly probably irritated and angry that I thought he
was joking. I am stunned I look into his eyes and find only love'and I know that he is speaking the truth'he does love me.
Soon disappointment replaces the anger on his face and in a sad child like voice he asks "does that mean you don't love me ?"
"sir..i..i.." I could not say any further I can't manage to
confess that I love him'I am shy and also scared. Scared that anytime my eyes will open and this beautiful dream will anytime break. I just nod and blush. He comes a little closer and asks "yes or no".
After a few seconds which seemed like minutes to me I managed to say "yes" and I look up to see his face and found him giving me a smile and his eyes showed the love that he had for me.
As soon as the yes left my mouth the room filled with sound
of claps and all those people who were till few minutes back standing in the corner came to us and congratulated.
After the party arnav offered me a lift which I happily accepted.
While I was getting outside the car to go into my house he stopped me and kissed me on my cheek and whispered "happy valentine's day khushi" and I smiled lovingly.
This valentine's day could not be any better because on this
valentine I found my love my arnav.
