Raman -its getting too late, woh jaldi se aa jaaye warna saara arrangements ka koi matlab nahi reh jayega. He was thinking when she finally came out wearing the purple evening gown he has brought for her. She was smiling fully from ear to ear making Raman smile too. She was walking very slowly as it was her first time when she was walking in heels. He was just too happy seeing her like that and was lost in her.
She walked slowly to him and asked smiling -how I am looking??
Raman tucked the single strand of hair behind and said -more beautiful then my imagination. Itna khoobsurat toh main soch bhi nahi paaya tha. U r just a visual treat. He said making ishita look down blushing. Raman made her sit and went to settle the bill.
