Before they met
While combing my dark hair with a comb looking at the car mirror, to make sure I looked good to meet Kriti, Maya is driving her car to prom. I was sitting next to her as she drove. She seems to be very excited.
A few minutes later
She parked the car and we both got out of the car.
“Hey? Do I look good?” I asked her.
“Don't worry Sam you look absolutely handsome she won't be able to take her eyes off you all night” she says with a smirk.
Her comment made my cheeks red.
“I hope so..” I muttered
“What was that?” She asked with confusion in her eyes.
“Nothing. It's nothing, let's get going, we don't want to keep her waiting” I blurted out.
“Yeah, you're right” she said and we went inside as we stepped into the beautiful hall covered with decorations of flowers, candles and fairy lights.
My footsteps halted seeing Kriti for the first time.
My breath caught in my throat.
She looked absolutely breathtaking in that gorgeous red dress which made her look like a Queen.
Her dark wavy hair is down which frames her heart shaped face perfectly, her eyes decorated with black eyeliner and her lips painted with a pinkish nude colour.
I stopped daydreaming when I saw Maya hug her and they were talking.
Maya was about to introduce me when I approached them and interrupted her with a calm look with a soft smile.
“Hi, I am Samir Maya's cousin”
I then noticed my cousin rolling her eyes which made me chuckle inside but my attention was on her, Kriti.
My eyes locked to her beautiful mahogany eyes that looked like fine wine.
My heart is pounding in my chest.
I then noticed she suddenly startled as her cheeks heated up in embarrassment.
Was it because she noticed she didn't say anything back?
“I am so sorry! I didn’t mean to keep you waiting! She bursted out all of sudden.
Before I could reply, I heard her sigh as she gazed back at me “I am really sorry, I just have a lot on my mind right now. I am Kriti, Maya’s best friend”
Her response made me respond to her words with a soft smile with understanding and I replied back and couldn't help myself saying “Don’t worry about it. I think it’s cute”
“C-cute!?” she stuttered in surprise and shock, her face turned red.
Making me realise, I just said that out loud without thinking which caused my cheeks to paint themselves red.
“I- uh-”
Before I could say anything else, Maya tuned in “Why don’t you two get to know each other more. Maybe go and have a dance together”, teasing us with a wink.
Then she walks away with her male friend Aarav, leaving the two of us alone with the deep tension between us.
When I looked back at her I realised that I must have made her uncomfortable as she was not looking at me.
I then cleared my throat which caused her to look up at me.
My cheeks are still red after the situation so I gave her a shy smile and said “Sorry if I made you uncomfortable”.
I then saw her beautiful angelic face light up with a sweet smile.
“It’s okay, you don’t need to apologise. It’s just that no one called me that before I was just surprised that’s all”. She responded sweetly.
Her voice is like music to my ears which I can compose with any instrument.
“Really? You’re okay with me calling you cute” I asked, trying to make sure that she really is comfortable with it and meant it, shocked by her response.
“Yeah” I replied
I smiled and offered my hand to her “Will you have this dance with me?”
I noticed she was surprised by my question but she ended up smiling and nodded with shyness in her mahogany eyes.
“S-sure” she said, taking my hand as I whisked her to the dance floor.
20 minutes later
An idea popped in my mind as I danced with her, I looked into her eyes and asked “Would you like me to get us some drinks? You must be thirsty from all this dancing”
I saw her pause for a moment thinking and nodded. “Yeah, that sounds good. I am feeling a little thirsty right now” She replied, her eyes twinkling in the dim colourful lights.
I nodded and said “Stay here, I will be right back with the drinks.
She nodded and I left to get the drinks where the drinks were.
A few minutes later
When I went back to where she was, finding out that she wasn't there anymore.
I looked everywhere for her then looking out the window seeing that it started to rain.
Then, something caught my eyes.
It was her.
She was in her rain in the garden, her eyes closed as if she was letting the raindrops envelop her as a beautiful smile was on her face.
My heart starts beating quickly.
After a few minutes of staring at her.
I put the drinks down on the table near me and walked towards her in the rain.
My kurta and hair got wet as I approached her but I didn't care it was like time stopped.
Just a few centimeters away from her, I cleared my throat loud enough for her to hear.
Her eyes quickly responded by fluttering open and she looked up at me with a warm smile.
“Sorry, I just love the rain” She said.
“It's fine” I replied
She then asked me a question I didn't expected.
“Will you dance with me here?”
My eyes widened in surprise “Oh sure” I said taking her hands to pull her in to dance.
After a few minutes I spined her and caught her in my arms just then the rain stopped but I didn't notice I was distracted as if I am in my own world where it's just the two of us with my eyes locked to hers.
Out of nowhere her phone rings startling the two of us.
I let her go quickly as she picked up her phone but her smile faded.
She looked up at me "I am sorry but I have to go. Bye" after saying this she just walks away leaving me speechless.
After a few minutes of processing I yelled out “wait!”
But it was too late, she was already gone.
