"You look beautiful."

Shravani complimented as I wore earrings while she tied my hair into a beautiful braid.

The only thing I could do in response was stare blankly at my reflection. I do look beautiful but I don't feel beautiful. No matter how much ornaments or makeup I put on, I can't make myself look perfect because my natural ornament was missing. My smile.

How could I smile when I was getting ready for another man? The man that I didn't even know, a complete stranger.

" JJ, baby I really can't see you like this," Shravani kneeled behind me and placed her chin on my shoulder. " With the way you're behaving for the past two days, I can confidently say that you really like Raghav. You shouldn't go on this date. "

" Like I'm willingly going to meet that stranger," I groaned in anger. " You know that Baba is making me do this. He took a promise from me that he'll only give a day out if I go on a date and now I have no option. "

She nodded with a pout and got up.

" Just be on your worst behaviour so that boy will reject you himself," she suggested, making me smile a little.

That's the only thing I can hope for. Taking my dupatta I walked out and made my way to get rejected again.

The only good thing that happened in the morning was Raghav taking a day off. At least I wouldn't have to face him, it would be even more awkward if I met that stranger while he stayed close to me.

The bitter feeling started flowing in my heart at the thought of being with another man. I'm not with Raghav. But still I felt guilty. We're not together, it's fine if I meet different guys. I tried to convince myself by saying that but nothing worked. I continued to feel awful.

To calm myself I took out my phone and the photo of Raghav playing with Guddu greeted me, making a small smile appear on my face. Unlocking the phone I opened the gallery and scrolled through the photos. My gallery was filled with photos of Guddu, Kids, my photos taken by Shravani and some pictures of Raghav that I took secretly.

My finger caressed over one of his photos. He looked so handsome in his black suit, it hugged his body perfectly and the unopened button only increased his hotness. In the next photo he was yawning, I couldn't help but chuckle at his cuteness. Another one was him looking straight at the camera and my heartbeat increased as I stared at those stormy eyes. It felt like he was staring right into my soul.

Putting the phone down I stared out of the window and watched the trees passing by till I reached the hotel.

Vrindavan.

I read the name of the restaurant where I was supposed to meet my date. I knew this restaurant, everyone in the town did, it was the most popular restaurant owned by the youngest millionaire of the town.
