"Oh darling, you are here? I was searching for you." When Raghav came towards them, speaking like this. It was sure a shock for them. Because only two girls were standing there. Meera and Tammana.
"Darling!"
"Darling!"
Both Tammana and Rehan exclaimed, in unison. While Meera finally looked above and blinked.
He came there and hugged Meera, well at least it looks like so because the hands that were wrapped around her were not touching her. He had kept an inch gap to not make the girl feel uncomfortable.
Meera gazed into his eyes, and he gave a kind smile to her. His assurance felt much more comforting to her than she thought. She gave him a grateful to smile and nodded.
Tammana and Rehan who were on another side, could only saw Raghav hugging Meera. She became furious and shouted, "a bunch of perverts"
She came in between them and was trying to separate them. When Meera held her hand and shook her head. She furrowed her brows and looked confusing to her friend.
When Mr Gupta spoke, "Mr Verma is she your girlfriend?" His voice was shaky. If she really related to Raghav then he had done a mistake. Although Raghav was a Verma, everyone in the circle knows that he is closer to Mr Oberoi.
"Fiance, She is my Fiance." He said holding Meera's hands. "If she had done any mistake then I apologise on her behalf." Although he was apologising but his voice and expressions don't have an ounce of regret.
"No, no what are you saying. It's all just a misunderstanding. But this girl" he said pointing at Tammana but before he could complete his sentence Raghav spoke again.
"Oh, she is going to be my sister in law, a bit short temper I say. I am sorry on behalf of her too." He apologised again but his voice was just the same.
"That.." The other man with Mr Gupta elbowed him and shook his head to signal him to not accelerate the matter, "won't be necessary. After all we are one big family.. Hahaha" he laughed awkwardly and changed his wordings.
"Oh, how kind of you." Said Raghav in a mocking tone. After exchanging some pleasantries those two men scurried out from there.
"Thank you," said Meera, to Raghav, her voice was barely above a whisper but her eyes were looking very warm. She was looking so vulnerable just a moment ago that Raghav himself couldn't describe what he felt.
He just unconsciously moved there, like his body has his own mind. And did whatever he could think of. He was afraid that the girl would misunderstand his intentions. But her grateful smile is worth all the lies he spoke a moment ago.
He smiled to her, a genuine smile which is only reserved to Rehan mostly. "It's okay. Now take care alright." He moved bit her hands tightened, that's when he noticed that he was still holding her hands.
He looked back at their entwined hands and then at the girl and raised a brow. "Would you... Would you have a dance with me?" The girl asked taking her mask off.
And to say he was stunned was an understatement. Her blue eyes already were like the rare gem. But her whole face was much more than he could have ever imagined. Being with Rehan, he had seen a fair share of beautiful girls. But all those were not even close to her stunning appearance. "She really is a fairy," he mumbled.
Her fair skin and rosy cheeks, her limp red lips, he was sure she hadn't used any makeup yet she is looking so gorgeous.
Looking at his silence, Meera became conscious again. She didn't feel comfortable here from the start. And the accident just a while ago had frightened her.
She is not as bold as her friend. Living a sheltered life, all the time. She never needed to tackle anything. So, when Raghav showed her care she felt touched. And she didn't even realise she held his hand this tightly.
And when he turned and raised a brow. She knew she had to let go, but she didn't want to. So she said whatever came to her mind. But now when he was gazing her she is regretting asking him for the dance.
Reagan who was watching from the sidelines was astonished at the development. How did an action movie turn into a 1950s romance scene? He was sure a fight is going to ensue and now. Those two lovebirds are lost in the eyes of each other.
This was the first time he had seen Raghav so lost and that also in front of a girl. But the girl was also innocent that she won't be able to decipher his silence.
Then he eyed the girl standing beside him and found that her mouth was hung open. And her eyes were widened. Like she has seen some ghost. She wasn't a bit flustered while slapping those men then why is she so shocked now.
"She sure is crazy!" He mumbled and walked towards his friend and elbowed him. Raghav came to his senses and looked at the girl who was biting her lips in an embarrassment.
He coughed and replied, "it will be my honour to dance with such a beautiful lady." And with that Meera smiled brightly and started to move.
But before she could move further Tammana finally came to her senses and held her shoulders.
"Where are you going." She asked Meera with wide eyes and that made Meera conscious again. Even Raghav stopped and looked at both of them.
Rehan who was happy that his friend finally found a girl which he like furrowed his brows and glared the crazy girl. Determined that he would let him have the dance.
He held Tammana hands which were on Meera shoulder and freed her. "They are going to have a dance. Didn't you just listen ?' He asked taking her whole attention and signalled Raghav.
