I already called Aditya last night, he was sounding tired but after hearing my voice he got happy and when I told him about the surprise, I heard him trip from bed in excitement, I am so lucky to have a boyfriend like him.
"Which one I wear today?" I excitedly showed some clothes that were in my hands to Priya who was laying on my bed and listening to songs. She removed her earphones as she walked over to me.
"Is today is my mother's birthday? Or yours?" She asked, curiously staring at me.
"No, actually, I am going to meet, Aditya" I blush as end the sentence, she giggled.
"So cute...in that case, I will suggest you, wear anything pink" She leaned closer to my wardrobe as she picked up a long skirt and white top with a matching scarf, "This will look awesome on you"
After having the bath, I wore those clothes and head over to my makeup table, surprisingly Priya was still seated there waiting for me to finish.
"How I am looking?" I ask while applying the moisturizer and powder all over my face and hands.
"Great" She replied happily, she walked towards me as she pulled out a pink lipstick from my drawer and eyeliner, "Close your eyes I am going to make you beautiful " I did as she told me, I sat down on the chair letting her do my make up.
A 20 minutes later, "I am tired seating like this, aren't you done yet?" I asked as I found myself getting bore and patience less and my legs went numb as well.
"Here you go, now slowly open your eyes" She turned my chair to mirror side, I opened my eyes and I didn't believe for a moment what I saw, the different me it's like I really got a great makeover.
"It's worth waiting for"
"Yeah, I know now hurry up and go" She pushed me outside of the door, I hurriedly made my way towards the taxi that was waiting for me.
First, I stopped at a flower shop and then the gift shop, I was so confused about what to buy for him and then I saw a beautiful sculpture of a dancing couple made up of stone that reminds me of our first dance during a farewell party, I am pretty sure he will be happy to see it.
I quickly took my gift bag and went to the cafeteria, he was late so I ordered a coffee couple of times even I didn't like to drink but I didn't have many choices except waiting.
And then he showed up, "you are an hour late" I rolled my eyes in disappointment, he took a seat in front of me as he held my hands in his.
"I am sorry, Jaan (my life), I got stuck at work" He replied as he tries to touch my face, I back off a bit as he almost sneezed on me, "I am sorry, I am allergic to orchids who put them here?"
"I am sorry too it was me I bought them and also a gift for you" I hand him the bag, he slowly opened it as he was cleaning his nose every second, it was me who put him in this condition I am feeling really sorry if I were aware of his allergy I never bought them in the first place.
I saw a smile that took place on his face as he removed the wrapping cover from sculpture, "Ohh My God! This is so beautiful" He wraps his arms around me from the table.
"I am glad you like it" I smiled as I returned his gesture.
"So it means I am forgiven, right?"
"Yes of course"
"So why you came back?" He asked, and my eyes went wide, what does he mean by that?
"I mean, you were working in Mumbai so what made you come back?" He completes his question after realizing what he just asked.
"My sister found a guy and she is going to tie the not so I am here to help my family but to be honest now I am thinking to work here to stay with them and with you as well" I replied and he looked at me awkwardly like he doesn't like my decision.
"Is anything wrong?" I ask as I shake my hands in front of his eyes to get him out of his thoughts.
"No, everything is fine, it's just that I am really happy you finally decided to stay with us" He retorts, I chuckled.
"Well, you know we both are serious about our relationship so why don't we take it on the next step," I said as he chocked on his water that he was drinking.
"You mean marriage?!" He almost asked in a shouting tone.
"No, I still have goals to achieve so does you so I just want from you to make it official for our parents that we are dating" I clarified as I leaned forward placing my hands on the table.
"I can't do that, not now, you know my parents are very strict, I really don't know how would they react after knowing that I am dating"
"Then, when? After my parents will force me to marry a guy who I don't know?!!" I yelled at him.
He shook his head, " I won't let this happen, I promise just give me some time " He lightly squeeze my hands as reassuring me, I give him a small smile.
"Fine, I trust you, love you"
"I love you too"
We talked random things for hours and I skipped the part of Arthur because I can't take risk of ruining our beautiful moment until he pulled me on the dance floor, I have to say he is good at dancing, he is every move is so perfect on each rhythm.
As the music slowly came to end, we heard people clapping for us and I feel the blush on my face.
"You can't even imagine how badly I wanted to spend time with you but I have to go, " He said and vanished from the door, leaving me all alone there, what a guy he is.
It's not that I can't pay the bill but still, anyway, I checked my purse and I realize that I ran out of cash, and thanks to my stupid phone that even net banking is not working.
I messaged Avian if he is free to come here and help me, I hate to ask help from him especially if he is on his work but thank God he agreed.
As he came and paid the bills as we both made our way towards his car, "Where are we going?" I asked when I realized he took another route that does not go to our house.
"Arthur's garage " he shortly replied not taking his eyes off from the road.
"Why?" I ask confused.
"You gave him my contact no. for his some project so I am going there to talk more about that project" He answered, that makes sense.
I responded with "ohh" and we were silent until his garage came into my view.
I walked there with Avian silently as I was noticing how neat Arthur maintained his garage is, each and everything is placed on the rack perfectly.
We saw him talking to a girl like he is teaching her, she was the average skinny blonde girl who was looking like a kid in front Arthur, I won't blame her for this, he is really very tall that I might look the same if I stand beside him.
"Hey, Arthur" I waved my hand to get his attention, he smiled as he saw us.
He gestured us to follow him maybe towards his office and the walls of his office were beautifully covered with purple velvet and matching tiles and everything was twinning with each other. I have to say he has good taste in this stuffs.
"Thanks for coming, and again I didn't expect you, Amaira," Arthur said with a chuckle.
I laughed" Then, all I can say is I like giving surprises" that's not false I actually like giving surprises.
"Well, If you don't mind, Amaira, can you wait for us outside, I don't like disturbance" Avian spoke up, I looked at him with wide-eyed, I know he is a typical businessman and takes things seriously but I can understand that he wants privacy.
I nodded and went outside as I started looking around his garage more. Some bikes caught my attention I am pretty sure Avian would be crazy when he will see these bikes, he really loves them. Maybe I should talk to Arthur he might give me a discount so I could buy one of them and I will gift it to Raksha Bandhan.
As I was walking around I suddenly bumped into a girl, she was the same girl who was with Arthur, she looked pissed and annoyed about something.
I quickly apologize to her, she caught my arm tightly, "Who do you think yourself?" She asked and I shoot her I-don't-know-what-you-are-talking-about look but it didn't seem to work on her.
"A girl?"
She chuckled darkly, "Arthur is mine stay far away from him"
"I am sorry, I don't understand"
"Just understand this that stay far far far away from him" She repeats, She is after Arthur? I can't believe the way he was talking to her doesn't seem like Arthur likes her or something.
"Look I don't know what is your concern but there is nothing like that between me and Arthur" I specify plainly.
"Good, if I saw you near him I will kill you short brown girl"
"Why don't you look at yourself first?" I taunt her as I extended my hand to show her how fair my skin tone is and even I am a few inches taller than her.
She rolled her eyes in irritation, "Whatever, you bi**h"
Who the hell she is and why the hell she is acting like I stole her boyfriend? But before I could reply I saw Arthur and Avian walking towards our direction, they are looking happy means their meeting gone well.
"Let's meet tomorrow then," Arthur said to avian as he turned to me.
"Go home safely," he says as he walks back to the garage.
