Part 3
Preesha's POV.
Our staring game was broken when Saaransh asked us to save something for the date. Rudra blew a kiss to our son which I absolutely adored.
Finally, we came out of the house and were walking till our car which was parked outside.
As I was walking thinking about how Rudra is going to react when we reach Rahul's house, I glanced at him only to find him giving me a smile. He seemed so happy. This was the first time he and I were going out on our own, and I promised him a surprise.
For a second, I was having second thoughts about this plan because what if this plan spoils his mood.
I stumbled as I was lost in my thoughts.
Even before I realised I was about to fall, Rudra quickly caught me in his arms. His reflexes were so fast.
My hands resting on his shoulders while his arms were around my waist tightly wrapped.
R: Careful!!
He looked at me with utmost concern.
My heart started beating fast because of this proximity. The intensity with which he looked at me was making me nervous.
I was so lost in him that I didn't even realise my hair was blocking my vision.
He tucked my hair slowly behind my ear. He caressed my face with the softest touch as he always did when he would tuck my hair. His fingers light and smooth on my face like I was some delicate glass doll.
R: Are you okay?
His hand held my arm. His eyes wandered on all over my face.
P: Yes I didn’t see and my leg slipped.
I broke my trance and moved when he pulled me back.
R: Listen! I want to tell you something.
He seemed slightly nervous.
P: What is it Rudra?
He suddenly broke into a smile with that twinkle in his eyes and looked at my lips. He smiled shyly.
R: You are looking very nice.
His intense gaze was really making me feel things. My heart was racing. He was always open with compliments but this time I couldn’t stop with asking and wanting to know more. My heart wanted more.
Yet I lowered my eyes unable to withstand the intensity of his gaze.
P: Just nice?
He chuckled a little, looked down and said
R: Nice and...
I looked up at him and he looked up too.
R: ....beautiful.
Blood rushed to my cheeks as he said that. I looked down again. Yet I wanted to hear more.
P: And?
He laughed. I couldn’t meet his eyes.
His voice sounded full of mirth and mischief.
R: and...you know how to read eyes.
I looked up at him as he was staring at me
R: So, read my eyes
I saw the emotion in his eyes. I knew what he was trying to say. It was transparent and it was making my heart beat faster. I bet he can hear it. What was happening to me? I looked down.
Rudra lifted my chin.
R: Look at me, Preesha!
He sounded assertive yet so gentle.
R: Is there something you see in my eyes?
I nodded at him
R: What?
I couldn’t help myself drowning in those coffee brown eyes.
P: Me, I said in a trance.
I couldn’t believe what was happening. I lowered my gaze as my heart was hammering in my chest. His arms were still tightly wrapped around my waist and he wasn’t letting go.
He took a deep breath. My heart was racing.
He lifted my hand and put it over his heart.
I could feel his racing heartbeat. It matched mine. Beat to beat in sync.
We looked at each other, lost in each other’s eyes.
R: Can you feel what’s happening to my heart?
His heart was racing even faster as mine did too.
P: It’s racing very fast.
R: Do you know for whom?
I couldn’t meet his eyes. I know he meant me. I could not believe this was happening right now. I felt like jumping in joy yet I was so nervous.
R: My heart is beating for the person I adore. For the person who is the reason I exist.
For who I love, deeply and profoundly. The one I can’t live without. My life. The one I desire. Do you know who that is?
His words were the end of me. The passion and intensity in his eyes were making melting me. I couldn't even dare to ask who it was.
My hand on his heart and his hand holding mine, while one of his arms was still wrapped around my waist, his cold fingers resting on my bare skin and the cold breeze were causing goosebumps on my skin.
We looked deeply into each other’s eyes as we knew what was happening. Totally lost, completely unaware of the surroundings.
Why does this happen to me whenever he is close to me? My brain stops working and my heart was beating out of my chest.
Rudra opened his mouth to say something when I heard-
Saaransh: GUYS-
Both Rudra and I suddenly jumped apart from each other and the trance broke. I didn’t even realise just how tightly we were clinging to each other.
S: You guys are still here?
Rudra looked as upset as me for the interruption. I felt so disappointed.
We both looked away from each other but then our eyes met again. And we both smiled at each other, all embarrassed.
S: Are you guys not going? Will you have dinner here itself?
R: We are going. Anyways if you are around, you won’t let this date happen.
That brought a smile to my face.
S: Then go!!!
R: We are going.
Rudra grabbed my arm and with a shy smile pulled me to go. He was glowing in happiness and so was I. Something had changed. There was a shift in the air.
My heart was a mess.
He held me as we both walked out of my society with a smile on our face.
Lemme know how y'all liked it.
