@@@--- Part 4 ---@@@"Don't turn the key until I tell you to do so, okay?" AR said, glancing at piya from behind the bonnet. She was sitting on driver seat and following his instructions. She showed him a thumbs up sign, conveying that she understood. He began checking the engine, he had put the water into engine but it wasn't starting yet. Although, AR hadn't much knowledge about a car engine, he still tried. He checked the hose pipes, they didn't seem to be leaking from anywhere. He moved the wires lighty. "Okay, now. " He signalled her . She turned the key in the ignition, while depressing the clutch pedal ...and the engine started, finally.
"Yes ! " Abhay exclaimed. He was so proud of himself. Closing the bonnet he came to the driver seat, "Shift, " he said to her "I need to check it out ". She nodded and shifted to the passenger seat. He hoped into the car, and checked the engine again to make sure whether the car was in condition to drive them back to the city or not.
"There is a hope that it will not betray us in mid-way, " he told her .
"Good, " piya said. "First, let's eat this pizza. My stomach is grumbling. " she gave out a short cry, grabbing the pizza box and her cell phone from the back seat.
"No. " He stopped her, "First, let's change your bandage. " He said, turning to her.
"Huh? "
"I'll change your bandage. "
"I'll take care of it Once I'll be at home. " She said.
"I don't think it's safe to have a wet bandage on your forehead for such a long time. Don't you worry I'll change it. Do you have any first-aid box here ? " He said putting his hand lighty on her bandage to untied it. She freezed with the fear that it would pain. In morning, when her mom had changed the bandage it pained like hell. That was why she didn't dare to touch it again even after it got wet in pool.
"Is it still hurting? " He asked, observing her face.
"Not as much as it was in the morning."
"I'm sorry.. " He apologized for being the reason of her pain. She ignored his apology and handled him first-aid box from under the seat. He felt bad that she hadn't forgive him.
"Now, sit still. " He said, taking cotton out of the box. After removing the bandage from her forehead he clean the wound with cotton. Piya immediately closed her eyes due to pain. She was clutching the hemline of her sweater-top tightly. He realised her wound was deeper than he expected. He felt guilty. He stared at her face which was just few inches away from his. Her eyelids were closed, she was bitting her lower lip in the attempt of distracting herself. If he wasn't feeling guilty for hurting her he would have said that she was looking kind of sexy... and kissable.
He had to given himself a mental slap to get his mind together and stopping himself from distraction. "Is it done ? " She asked in anticipation.
"Almost done. " He replied and grabbed the bandage from the box. He observed her wound for the first time, it was quite a deep cut on the side of her forehead.. and he felt really guilty.
He split a small part of bandage and put that part on her injury after applying medicore jel on it. Then he wrapped the bandage around her head three four times and knotted it in the back. "Done. " He informed her, putting everything back in the box. She finally opened her eyes and watch herself in rear-view mirror. She was impressed with his work. She thanked him. "Now pizza time ! " She was hungry beyond words. She took a slice for herself, then offered him.
"Hey, it's a cheating.. " he grumble, seeing she had taken the bigger than other slice.
"I've payed for it " She reasoned, taking a mouthful bite from her piece. Even Though pizza had gone cold by now, yet, extra cheesy toping felt divine to her sense of taste and Her grumbling stomach.
"Fine. " he made a face at her and started eating. "mmm...it's so good. " he said delightfully.
"I know, " She simply said, taking another bite. As Her eyes drifted to horizon she saw that the sun had neared the horizon, and slowly going down behind the hills, changing its color from creamy yellow to shades of glowing orange. It was casting its golden rays down upon the clouds of billowing smoke, turning them to bright red. That was quite a beautiful sight to be witness.
"Look there.. " Piya whispered. His eyes followed hers and stuck at the sight of sunset, the view was praise worthy. "Lovely." He said turning his head to her and she smiled.
They were enjoying the view while eating pizza when piya's phone beeped interrupting the silence between them. She left surprised for a moment hearing her message tone because phone had not showing network sign earlier. She checked it and saw there were few messages from alina.
"God, not this again. " She frowned while seeing the messages. AR observed her. "What is it? " He asked curiously. She put the phone aside, replying "Nothing " and took a bite from pizza slice.
"Liar, " He stated, and grabbed her phone sudenly. Curiosity had hit him.
"What are you doing ? " She yelled , seeing he was checking her phone. "You can NOT check someone phone like this ! " She tried to get her phone back but he moved his arm up.
"Why? is it your boyfriend stuff you afraid I might see ? " He cocked his head. He found her recent messages were from alina. From a girl or a boy..not something he expected. He saw alina had sent her total five pictures of dresses, all full length gown, Two were white and other two were pink and last on was emrald green. She was asking piya to select one.
"Find anything you were looking for?" She said, glowering.
"Not something I expected. " He let out a breath as he continue " Why these pictures got that reaction from you? " He asked showing her phone.
"Because I'm being forced to wear a dress and attend winter dance of my school. "
"You are a school student ? " His mouth left open in astonishment.
"Yes, I'm a senior year student. Why are you so surprised ? "
"You just look little older for a school student. " He blurt out. it's only after saying he realised what he had said and jumped to cover up "I didn't mean that ! I wanted to say you look good...beautiful. It just I didn't thought you could be a student. Forget whatever I said earlier."
"Already did." Piya replied. "Give me my phone back. " She demanded.
"Wait, " He said and again saw all the pictures, "I think this Emrald Green Dress will look fabulous on you. What do you think ? "
"Let me think, " She put a finger on her chin, pretending. "No ! "She replied pretty straight and sharp.
"Trust me you will slay everyone in this dress. "
"Still, No ! "
"You don't know anything."He shook his head and returned her phone. She took it.
---------
They had trouble finding their way out of the forest. When the sun had set beyond the view and darkness had increased.. Forest had started feeling like a maze. Every way looked same and unidentified. They somehow managed to find their way back.
"You have taken the wrong turn. I don't think this route goes to the shopping mall. " She said.
"We ain't going to the shopping mall. " He said.
"What?! " She asked confused, "But You have your car there. We would go there , get your car, then you to your way and me to my way. I thought this was the plan ! "
"It was never the plan. " He informed nonchalantly while driving.
"Then what's the plan?"
"We are going to my home. I can not go there to get my car from the shopping mall' parking lot. Paparazzi would be lurking for me there. I'll send someone else after reaching home. Plus, This car need some cleaning before you take it to your house. I don't think your parent would be happy seeing their car in this condition. "
"It's my uncle' car, But you are right. He'll be mad at me. " Piya turned worried. She had forgotten about her uncle to whom that car belong. He definitely wouldn't be happy. "God, He loves this car so much. He gonna kill me ! " The more she thought about it the more she got worried.
"Hey, calm down. My people will take care of this car and no one will know about our little adventure. " He winked at her. She felt little relieved hearing this. "Tell me one thing, " She asked "Why don't you walk with bodyguards? If you had bodyguards with you then neither the last night incident nor all this would have happened. " She grumbled.
"Bodyguard brings unwanted attention, and I do prefer privacy sometime. I don't like people poking their nose in my personal life. "
"And that's exactly why you choose to become a Pop star . " She quipped.
He gave a short laugh. "Seriously, your witty comebacks never fail to amaze me. How you do it ? "
"I don't eat eggs in breakfast. "
Her reply made him short of words. He tried to say something equally witty in his reply but couldn't think of it. "You beat me here, " He laughed, saying "I better keep my mouth shut. "
"Yes, please." Said she, wryly.
----------
When they reached to AR' house, He send his driver to bring his car back from the parking lot. Then he ordered one of his housing staff to arrange a mechanic for piya's car. He also told him to wash the car afterward. Piya was just watching him giving orders to people. She observed the startled faces of housing staff and the look they were giving to them behind his back. They were probably thinking her as an another girl of AR' life. Though she didn't like it, She preferred to ignore it.
When Abhay done Ordering, he took her inside the house.
"You don't live here, do you? " She asked him.
"No. My parents live here. I visit them once in a while," He told.
"Is that why housing staff aren't used to see you around ? "
"Possible. " He said nonchalantly. "I usually let them know about my arrival beforehand.Today wasn't the case. Plus, I've never brought a girl here before..I mean to meet her with my parents. So... " He left the other words unsaid.
"In that case, I just hope they aren't thinking that we've decide to take our relationship to the next level. 18 years is too young to get married." She croaked.
He tried not to laugh on her remark "Even 23 years is too young to get married, Don't you think so? "
"Not for you. You've archived everything in your life early... Perhaps a bride is the next thing in line. " She smirked.
"I wouldn't mind if the bride would be you. "
"Shut up.
He turned to her, abruptly "Make me. He said, watching her Intently. Piya knew what he meant, she just shook her heard this time, saying "Grow up. "
"Never. He smirked. Then his eyes found his mother, who was approaching toward them.
"Abhay, you are home.." His mother smiled affectionately, coming near him. "Mom..." He gave her a tight hug. When they parted, he introduced piya with his mother saying that she was a friend. Before his mother could asked him about the reason behind his sudden visit he spoke up "Mom, will you please send us something to eat in my room."
"Of course... "
"Thanks. Me and piya have lot to talk about." He said grabbing piya' hand. Her eyes widen but she didn't say anything in front of his mother, and silently went with him.
As soon they came inside the room, he left her hand. "Don't mind it, okay ? " He sheepishly smiled.
"Fine. " She said, sighing. She watched the room with amazed face. Painted with green and white, The room was huge...So huge for just belong to a single person. Every thing was in place. Even though he didn't visit there oftenly the place hadn't any untouched feeling. Even the flowers of the vase was freshly changed. There was an indoor glass water wall, water flowing evenly and beautifully across it. She saw several guitars were hanging on the side wall. A King size bed at the center of the room , and two bookshelfs fully loaded with different kinds of books were situated behind it. Books. That got her attention. But, her attention immediately shifted to him as she saw he was taking off his clothes. At first his jacket gone then vest... Her mouth left wide open. She wasn't prepared for that. He had gone shirtless without any prior warning. "What are you doing ?! " She panicked and turned around in haste.
"Changing clothes. " he said simply, walking toward the wardrobe. He grabbed a clean T-shirt, and smiled seeing her reaction. She was standing there facing her back toward him. After wearing the T-shirt, he walked to her and stood in front of her. She was relieved to see him dressed again. "You know, I never thought I would enjoy getting these type of reactions...but , honestly I do when you reacts this way. " He said, amused.
"But, I do not enjoy watching you naked, next time a little warning, please." Piya roll her eyes.
"You're first girl to say that. " He smirked.
"Not this again.. " She shook her head.
"What? I' am just telling you. " Said he.
"Why you always tell me useless things? " She grumble, continuing in her effort to change the topic "If you want to tell me something, then tell me why you had to brought me here at your parents house. We could have gone to the place you live. "
"Well, I've got a condo for myself in the main city, near my recording studio. I could have taken you there but I don't think you would've liked it. "
"And why so ? "
"Its kind of a bachelor pad, you know. A rich, famous and super sexy man' bachelor pad who had forgotten before arranging a party there that his maid is on a leave for a week. " He sighed dramatically.
"Dealing with after-party-mess ? " She said amusingly.
"Yeah. And I don't want you to think dirty of me and hate me anymore than you already do. " He chuckled.
"I don't hate you, " She instantly uttered "I just dislike you. "
"And you have to tell me 'why?' " he said, stepping toward the couch. he sat on it and signalled her to sit across him on the other couch.
"Because not everyone can like you. " She stated, coming to him and sitting across him. He seized a nearby guitar. Moving his fingers on its cords he played a tune. it was concised,lyrical and wonderfully melodious. A smile appeared on piya's face as she heard him play.
"Home is where the heart is. " Piya mumbled when he stopped. He smiled seeing she had recognised the song just by its tune. "So,you weren't kidding when you said you've heard all my songs. "
"This is your only song I actually like" She admitted. "Will you please play this tune again for me ? "
"Gladly, " He said. "But only if you'll sing along. "
"Nope. Singing and me have broken up long ago. We have promised not to see each others face ever again. " She said plainly.
"At least try. " He insisted.
"No ! You are the singer not me. " She reminded him.
"You doesn't like my singing. " He stated.
"I've changed my views since your poolside singing. " She confessed.
"Is this a compliment? "
"What do you think it is other than that? " She moved her eyes, making a bored face.
"Don't you think you could've said it more nicely. "
"Nicely ? " She asked and he nodded. Then, She sudenly moved forward toward him, decreasing the distance between them. His mouth left wide open seeing her this close to himself, but, she didn't hesitate and gave a pat on his shoulder. She looked directly into his eyes as She said "You really a good singer. You've a nice voice. I like it. " Her face wore a somewhat mocking almost impertinent smile as she added, "Is it enough or do I have to look into a dictionary to get more praising words for you? ".
"Since it's you who is saying this... It's more than enough. " He chortled.
"Thank god. " She sat back on the couch, folding her arms over the waist. She turned her heard from him, showing him how displeased she was. She looked at the bookshelfs.Too bad all those books were just for a show. She thought sadly. If she had a room like that she would've never left it for anything.
"Look at me. " she heard him say.
"What? " She said, turning her head back to him.
Looking into her eyes he again began playing the guitar. She was more than amused when he started sing along with it.
"They say, home is where the heart is
I didn't believe it was true, if It wasn't of you
the day you walk into my life
You saw my unseen scars
helped me dealing with my worries and strife..." It was one of her favourite song, and she had to admit that he sound even more good from this close.
His fingers continue moving on guitar' cords as he sang further "In those troubled days of anger
I was afraid of every stranger
You came to me, breaking that wall
Saving me from a fall
I realised,
The Home is not where I used to live all alone.
it's where we started
baby, where we belong
Home is where the heart is...
Now, I know it's true
Because my home Is with you..."
He ended the song there, and waited for her to say something. He really wanted to impress her. She took a full minute to reply. "Thanks. It was really amazing. I liked this guitar version even more than the original one. " She widely smile. He waited to hear something as usual witty or derisive from her, but nothing came.
"Are you being honest ? " he asked, puzzled.
"I'm always honest. " She tilted her head.
"I've to agree on this. " He uttered.
Someone knock on the door. After abhay allowed them, a butler along two servent enter in. Servents had trays in their hands. Abhay got up and came to see what they had brought to eat. They serve everything on the table and asked abhay if he needed anything else. When he answered in the negative, they began to left. Abhay recalled asking about piya' car. He went behind them and stopped the butler at the door. "What about the car ? have mechanic arrived? " He questioned him .
"Yes, Sir. Car have been washed and Mechanic is checking its engine. He said engine got some problem but nothing he couldn't fix. "
"Good. Tell him to take as much time as he wants, no hurry. " He said staring at piya, who was standing there near the bookshelfs and checking some books. He wasn't willing to let her go soon. He kinda liked her company.
"Okay, Sir. " Butler's voice brought abhay attention back to him. Butler continue "One more thing, Sir. " from under his coat he brought out a rectangular shape gift box and gave it to abhay. "You were missing me so much that you brought a gift for me? " AR joked, adding "Oh Alfredo, I missed you too. "
Alfredo lips curved into a smile "Driver found this box in the car when he was cleaning it from inside. it's belong to Miss, her name have written over it."
"So, it isn't for me. You broke my heart, Alfredo." Abhay said, dramatically.
"I'm sorry, Sir. "
"Don't be sorry. Just bring a gift for me next time. " He said playfully.
"Sure, Sir. " He bowed before him. He asked AR if he could do anything else for him and AR said 'Yes' . He told alfredo what he needed, and after that alfredo left.
Abhay observed the box and remembered seeing it in piya'hand in parking lot. He shook it in curiosity to get a hint about what might it contain, but no voice came from box. When he turned it he found a card attached to it, which says "Happy Birthday, Piya " . That left him thinking. Just because that card says birthday it couldn't mean it was her birthday today in particularly. it could've been yesterday or day before yesterday. He needed to know that.
Hiding the box from her for now he came to her. "Let's eat. " He said to her. She had found a book for herself and seemed to indulge in it. "What are you reading? " He asked.
"Nothing. " She closed the book and put it back on its place. He grabbed it back and read its name "Human anatomy ? " He raised an skeptical eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, So what ? " She said.
"Oh, don't get all worked up. I'm just little surprised to see that you are interested in human anatomy. " He reasoned, putting book back on shelf. Double meaning in his voice didn't go unnoticed by her.
"The book was of 'human anatomy' not of 'male anatomy. " She frowned. "And, I'm a wanna be docter, what do you expect me to be interested into?"
"A docter, han? " He couldn't say he wasn't impressed.
"Yeah. I've applied in few medical colleges. Waiting for my acceptance later. Let's see..." She said hopefully.
"I'm sure you'll get it soon. " He said to her with confidence. She didn't said anything.
"Okay I'm sorry. I was just kidding.
Let's eat something, please? " He spoke with so much politeness that piya let go of his 'anatomy' comment. She nodded and came to table with him where food had been served already. They ate together. Piya asked him about her car' condition and he told her that everything was in control. They chat on random things. About his songs, his flings and he was surprised to know that she knew most of it. She told him in brief about her family and her sister alina.
"Wait, So you're saying you don't like me because of your sister alina ? "
"Yep, kind of. "
"This is crazy ! " he announced.
"No, she is crazy. Crazy for you. Our rooms have so many posters of you.Sometimes it gives me a feeling that I ain't sharing my room just with her but you too. She doesn't let me throw even a single poster out.She has failed her driving test so many times because she easily get distracted by seeing your pictures on hoardings. I have to drive her everywhere." She said in one breath and continue again "Not just that, She had failed in her school yearly exam because she went to attend your concert. She could've been in college by now, but she remained senior year student. Hopefully she will graduate this year with me. I'm tired of her this obsession. "
"This called fanism, not obsession. " He stated cooly, continuing "And trust me this is nothing.Some fans do very crazy things, in comparison to them your sister is quite normal. "
"Normal ? " She groaned.
"Yeah. I do receive fan' letters and gifts every once in while. Some letters cross the limit of being freaky. Letters written with blood, Letters mentioning they want to spent a wild night with me and letters threatening me to suicide if I won't answer back. Female fans writing that they want to bed me might not be freaky but when same wish comes from male fans It turned freaky as hell. " He made a scared face.
Piya couldn't comment anything but laughed seeing his face.
He continue saying "No, Seriously. sometimes fans turns stalkers and try to invade in your personal life. They sent you wierd gifts. A female fans had even sent me her undies. " He sighed.
"I don't think alina could ever do anything like this. " Piya said.
"That's why I'am saying she is pretty much normal and comes in " good fan' category. I would like to meet her one day."
"But still, she irritates me. " She confessed, tossing her hair back.
"You've to deal with it. " He smirked.After that, They talk about each other interests. As piya expected their interests didn't meet. They were poles apart. They hadn't even a single thing in common. When she mentioned this same thing to him saying that they were totally opposite to each other, he laughed it off saying "Opposite attracts" . For a second she wondered what he meant by that.
They finished the food together.Piya hadn't realised she was that much hungry. She was feeling much better and energised now. She thanked him for food and checked the time. It was eight O' clock in the night. She was surprised to see so much time had passed. It was because AR had became quite nice toward her since their pool- side talk. He had became quite bearable and likable. It was hard not to like him when he was singing her favorite song, sharing his life experiences with her and being teasy yet sweet at the same time. She shook her head, thinking that she needed to get back to her home before she could actually start liking him. From her home, one alina was enough to like him.
Piya told AR that she needed to go her home as soon as possible. it was getting late, her family would start worrying. When he told that her car was not ready yet she had no choice but stay.
After a while a servent came and start collecting the empty plates. At the same time AR remembered something. He got up from his seat, went to cupboard and took out a digital camera from it. "It's picture time. " He said to her.
"Rightnow? " She asked. "I thought you wanted to click a picture of us at waterfall as a memory of the place. why now? "
"Because I couldn't get one there. " He said simply. He gave the camera to servent and asked him to click a picture of them. "Come. " He smiled at her softly, offering her a hand. She hesitated at first, watching him with questionable eyes, then she put her hand on his.
Abhay took her near the glass water wall. "Now Smile, please. " He said to her as he posed for the photo.
"I'll try. " She uttered. He felt her stiffened when he placed his hand on her back. He knew she was slightly uncomfortable under his touch, and if servent wasn't present there she would've probably jerked him away. He understood her discomfort but one can not expect that he would turned to a true gentleman overnight ? At least for not this situation where he probably never going get any another chance to hold her again.
Thinking about it he didn't remove his hand from her back, kept holding her and liked being this close to her.
They were standing too close for piya's comfort. She saw the expression of that servant's face, he was probably thinking that they were a love sick couple. As if coming here with him wasn't enough to gave everyone wrong impression that they were couple, why AR felt the need of doing this fake PDA infront of him. She thought sulking. She tried to remove his hand from her back but he placed it again, Ignoring her protest. She turned her face to him and gave a warning look. He just smiled at him widely, and, Servent captured that moment into a picture.
He clicked their two more photo then handling camera to him he left.
As soon servent left, she stepped away from him, frowning. "What the hell was that?! " She demanded.
"Sorry, I did that out of habit. I always posed like this. Old habit die hard, you know. " He excused, checking the clicked photos.He really liked them.
"One day I'll kill all your bad habits. " She said, sulking.
"For this, we've to keep meeting each other, isn't it? So, when you'll be meeting me again ? " He asked, moving his eyebrows.
"Never, Sir. " She replied, quite abrasively. "Once I'll be out of this house we never going to see each other again. "
Her words stung him. "Now you're hurting me. " He told.
"Why do you even care ? "
"I just do. " He confessed, making her fell silent. It didn't like she believed him, but the way he said those words felt like he meant them. He had confused her.
They had a knock on the door, that saved piya from saying anything. After he allowed, his butler came in. He informed AR that the car was ready to go. Mechanic had finished his work. Piya was glad, but AR wasn't.
Before leaving Alfredo gave AR what he had asked for. Two Passes of his upcoming concert in brooklyn. "This is a gift from me. "He said giving it to piya. She hesitated, but took it.
"This is basically for your sister, as you aren't a fan of me..but, I think you will have to drive her to the concert since she doesn't have her own driving licence. If you'll, I won't want you to stay outside while waiting for her and get hit by a car or any vehicle like last night. So, the other pass is for you to save you from any other accident. "
"How thoughtful, " She said glumly. "But, I don't think we'll be able to come. "
"Why so? " He mouthed.
"Your concert and Our school winter dance are on the same day. " She reasoned.
"I remember you saying that you don't wanna go there. "
"I don't remember saying that I wanna go to your concert either " She reverted. "But still, thank you. I'll give this passes to alina and let her choice by herself. " Said she, keeping passes in her shorts pocket.
"Wait, " He suddenly stopped her.
"Huh? "
"Give me one of these passes. " He said. She didn't understand why he was asking it back but she didn't said anything and simply gave him one pass back. He grab it and started searching for Something.
"What are you looking for? " She asked, puzzled. "Just wait a sec.." He replied, looking into drawers. He found a pen there and she saw him writing something on the pass. Then he came back to her and returned her pass. She saw he had written a number over there.
"It's my phone number. You can call me anytime you want. " And silently he wished she would call him.
She felt out of words. He was being just nice with her, nothing else. She reminded herself. "I should leave now. " She managed to say.
"Yeah, you should. " He said with a faint smile.
Saying her good bye to him, she came out of the house. it was around 9pm and now she wondered how would she explained her parents about her being out for this late without informing them anything. She better rushed to home. She thought.
Piya was still holding the pass over which he had written his number. She gave a look to it as she made her way toward her car. The car was parked near the gardern, under the trees.She believed she would never call him using this number..his gesture was something though.
Piya had hardly reached to the car when she heard his voice again. "Four-eyed girl. " He shouted, to stop her.
This made her turned to his direction. He was at the front door of house. When she stopped, he literally ran to her. He stood in front of her. They were standing under a tree, near her car. The Gardern area was well lighten and those lights had increased the beauty of garden in night. Air was filled with flowery smell.
"I just want to say that I had an amazing day today. " Said he. He was standing there hiding his one hand from her.
"I can't complain either. Infact it was one of the best day of my life, regardless the fact that I spend it with you. " She smiled, teasingly.
"I'm glad to hear that. " He admitted, continuing "I wouldn't have liked it if you hadn't enjoy your birthday. "
She left standing there dumbfounded. She didn't remember saying anything to him about her birthday. She was sure she hadn't said anything. "How did you know that ? " She questioned him.
"What? About your birthday? " He asked in return. She nodded.
"So, Today is your birthday. "
"Are you asking or telling ? " She grumble.
"I'm confirming. " He said with sharp intake.
"How did you know that? " She asked again. He didn't said anything, brought his hand from his back and showed her what he was holding. Piya instantly recognised that box. It was alina's present to her. She snatched it from him. "You shouldn't touch... "
"I didn't. " He interrupted her, defending himself and told her how he got it.
"Fine. You are forgiven. " She sighed.
"Thanks. " He shrugged, taking a step at her. "Now, let me wish you properly... " He breathed, his voice turned husky and kind of sexy.
"What does it mean? " That's all she managed to utter as he took another step at her and with that they had hardly air passing distance between each other. She felt freezed at her place as his leaned on her face. She feared he was going to kiss her and She thought to stop him, but then he Tilted her head slightly to the side and cradle her face in one of his hand. "Happy birthday, piya. " He whispered. "You are good as you are. Never change for anyone' sake. I like you this way. " He said further. She could felt his warm breath on her skin, and then she felt his touch. He placed a soft and delicate kiss on her cheek near her ear. With that, her whole body felt heated.This was all together a new feeling to her, a feeling she wasn't used to.
She managed to put a hand on his chest and took a back step from him. "Thanks. " She said slowly, clearing her throat. He smiled at her.
