Happy reading ~

I was seated at our respective seats, observing everyone enjoying the songs as Ms. Taylor Swift performed. Her songs always bring joy with me. I glanced around and witnessed couples swaying to the music, lost in each other's embrace. On one side, my parents and Abir's parents danced gracefully, their hands entwined. Abhimaan led Mahira bhabhi to the dance floor, while Ishaan held Tara in his arms. I smiled at their joyous moments. Lost in observation, I felt a hand gently rest in front of me. Looking up, I met Abir's gaze as he said,

" May I have a dance with this beautiful lady"

I chuckled at his words and said
" Sure "

And he entwined our hands, his left hand resting on my waist, sending shivers down my body. I placed my right hand on his chest, meeting his gaze. His brown orbs, always captivating, looked at me with utmost adoration. He tightened his grip on my waist, pulling me closer until I found solace on his chest, listening quietly to his heartbeat.

"It's my safe place"

We were dancing, matching each other's steps, listening to each other's heartbeats, when I asked Abir- "wanna go for a late night drive"

He looked at me probably not believing me and said -
"Sure , I would like to go anywhere with you even if it's hell"

I smirked and said -
"Then be ready by 11 tonight "

It was around 7:45 when everyone started heading back to their homes. Ahaan and his team were already wrapping up. Everyone, including the Rajvanshs and Maheshwaris, was making their way back to the mansion as the event was almost done. Mishti and Tia quickly took care of everything, and everyone moved back to their places as the event was over.
--------
As Mishti and Ahaan parked their cars in the area, Mishti averted her gaze towards Ahaan and said
" You did the best today , Ahaan . I'm proud of you "

Ahaan smiled on it and said -
" It's all because of you , aapse hi sikha h mne di , thank you for trusting me on this"

Mishti smiled and they both entered the mansion and saw there was no one

They looked at each other and smiled sheeply knowing that everyone is dead tired and already resting . Soon they made their way to their respective rooms .

I swiftly changed into some comfortable clothes, feeling the need to relax after the event. After a refreshing bath, I slipped into a loose shirt and shorts, ready to unwind.

Her outfit

I lay on my bed, scrolling through the event photos the photographer had forwarded me. Suddenly, I came across a picture where Ahaan stood in the center, my parents on his left side with Papa's hand on his back, and Mumma smiling at him. On his right were his parents, his Papa patting his shoulder while his Mumma adored him.

It stirred something in me, a feeling I couldn't quite place. Was it jealousy? I've never experienced this - my parents being proud of me. Never. No matter what I do, they never vocalize their pride. Though sometimes, it's evident in their actions, they never say it aloud. But don't I deserve to hear it? I want to hear it, but deep down, I know I won't.

Will it make me a bad person that I'm feeling jealous that my little brother gets appreciated by our parents?

I put my phone down on the bed and started staring at the ceiling, wondering if there's something wrong with me.

Maybe I did something very terrible that my parents and nobody appreciate me. But thats okay
" Mishti I'm very proud of you my bub" my brain said .

I do this every time . I appreciate myself . I assure myself even if no one does .
They say if nobody's there for you then you gotta be there for yourself. And I follow that .

Shrugging off my thoughts, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen, craving a sandwich to curb my hunger. Can I get a pizza . Please ? I want it but I know I can't get it now. Abhi ke liye sandwich se kaam chlana pdega * cries *

As I flipped the sandwich in the pan, I heard footsteps approaching, and there he was, Mr. Senior Rajvansh, leaning against the kitchen counter with his hands folded. Those veiny hands and toned muscles caught my attention, but I quickly averted my gaze from this hot meal and focused on my cooking

Abir's outfit

As I was focused on my work the hot meal sorry abir said -

" So we are still going for the drive"

" Yes of course, kyu tumhe Jana nahi hai?

" Jana h m toh bs puch rha tha you know tum thak gyi hogi"

" Are nahi nahi , we are going abhi chale ? "

" Haan okay lemme get my phone from the room ."

" Okay tum jao m btadeti hu mumma ko ki ham ja re h " I said while moving towards our parents room but stopped when he said-

" Mne bta diya tha "

I turned around and looked at him and said " okay then jaldi aao , m gaadi nikalti hu"

I quickly got into the driver's seat and saw Abir settling into the passenger seat beside me. He made a confusing face and asked, "You're going to drive?"

"Well, yes. Why? Are you scared?" I teased him, to which he chuckled and replied,

"No way."

I smiled, feeling a rush of excitement, and placed my hand on the steering wheel, saying,

"So, Mr. Abir Rajvansh, ready to be my passenger prince?"

I noticed his ears turning red and said "Oh my god you're blushing . You know what this is the second time in the same day that you're blushing"

Abir chuckled softly and replied,
"Well, I guess it's your special talent to make me blush then."
He flashed a playful grin, his eyes sparkling with warmth.

I grinned mischievously and replied, "Oh, so you're admitting that I have powers now?"

I winked playfully and focused on the road ahead, eager to enjoy their journey together.

As we made our way to the Eiffel Tower, yes I was taking him to the Eiffel Tower .

I couldn't shake off the craving for pizza. Spotting a cafe nearby, I couldn't resist the temptation and he looked at me while I eyed towards the cafe and grinned at him he looked at me and chuckled and said - "you want a pizza don't you driving princess"

I nodded eagerly, prompting him to go fetch our treats. Joining him in the cafe, I suggested a chocolate shake for both of us, to which he agreed with a smile, calling me "my lady." His playful demeanor filled me with warmth as we enjoyed this impromptu pit stop together.

As we arrived at our destination, we enjoyed our pizza and sat on the grass . I sat with my legs crossed in an Indian way , facing him, and he mirrored my posture. The atmosphere was serene, with the faint sound of the city in the background. It felt like a perfect moment frozen in time, just the two of us sharing a simple pleasure amidst the beauty of Paris.

We were having our pizza and I took my shake and started drinking it when he said -
" Mishti I'm proud of you ."

The words lingered in the air, his acknowledgment resonating deeply within me. "Thank you," I whispered, a warmth spreading through my chest. His pride felt like a gentle embrace, affirming my journey.

"You're the first one who said," I admitted softly, meeting his gaze filled with sincerity. His response, simple yet profound, touched me to the core.

"You deserve the appreciation," he assured me, his voice a comforting melody. "You're the one who made it till here. And I'm proud of you." With a nod and a smile, feeling a newfound sense of strength in his unwavering support.

As I looked into her eyes, I could sense a myriad of emotions swirling within her. There was a vulnerability that tugged at my heartstrings, urging me to offer solace in the form of a tender kiss.
Ugh what I'm thinking .

I wanted to kiss her from the moment I saw her in that outfit . I'm messed up .

With a gentle touch, I traced the curve of her cheek, silently seeking permission. Her gaze met mine, and in that fleeting moment, I found reassurance in her subtle nod. Closing the distance between us, I pressed my lips against hers, savoring the softness and warmth that enveloped me. Time seemed to stand still as we shared this intimate moment, the world fading into insignificance as our connection deepened. With each lingering touch, I conveyed the depth of my affection, pouring my heart into this simple yet profound gesture. And in that fleeting embrace, I found solace in the knowledge that she was here with me, her presence a beacon of light amidst the darkness.

She tapped my chest and I backed away and I realised what the heck did I just kissed her . OMG ! What will she think that I'm that desperate?

She looked at me , her cheeks flustered and said -
"Let's go back now it's late"

I nodded at her , not looking into her eyes . We moved towards her car while I asked for the keys . She looked at me and said -
"Sure here it is" and gave me her keys .

She settled onto the seat and looked in front of the road . I wondered what she was thinking .

She regrets it ? Does she ?

I don't know , probably she did . That's why she is not speaking to me . I continued our drive and looked infront at the road when she said -

"Abir vo that kiss ..................

To be continued............
