TRACES OF LOVE ✔️

2. The night we met

"Keerti remember this guy should not.."Her voice trembled and I calmed down.

"Maa Calm down dont worry I ll do as you say.."I couldn't speak further when I heard the voice of the
bolt opening from the main door.

"Maa I guess he has open the door..I ll talk to u later."I hung up and plastered a fake smile on my face
unknown of the fact that this man infront of me was planning to give me endless laughter.

He looked into my eyes and said "Hi I am Naksh"While I couldn't give a glance at him completely before I
cracked up laughing really bad.

He looked down to find himself only in his boxers and then I heard him groan "Shit..Im so sorry.."and
then he banged closed the main door on my face and ran inside.

I was just left laughing outside his house"Omg..I guess this guy was super excited to meet me that he forgot wearing his complete clothes as well.."I joked in my head.

The door was fled open again and I tried harder controlling my laughter.
"S..Sorry for what happened..Hi Iam Naksh"He almost stressed on each word,his face clearly expressing
his embarrassment.

"Keerti..I guess you already gave your introduction"I chuckled saying that and checked out he was wearing CA Tee and basic shorts,atleast this guy is trying to be himself I thought.

"Oh..So you are already cracking jokes on that.."He replied in an hostile manner,showing his displeasure.

"Okay.Im sorry I would never speak of it.." "Can I come in?"I said after a minute of silence.

"Yaa please.."He moved guiding me inside to the living room and asked me to sit.

He sat infront of me and I could see his hands and legs moving recklessly,so its not only me who finds
this meeting awkward I thought.

"Can I get some water please?"I spoke as I felt this guy barely knows how to treat guests.

"Haan"He nodded and went to the kitchen.

I was looking at his house,it had quite elegant ambiance to make it feel like home,I always wanted to
build such an home for me and mom.

He came and handed me a glass of water and took back the same seat opposite to me silently.

I gulped in the water and looked silently.

"Naksh,your house is lovely"I said breaking the awkward silence between us.

"Thanks"He replied smiling.

"Look Keerti,I know this is all very awkward..but I dont like to beat around the bush.I need to tell you
something very important"He spoke finally.

"Yeah tell me"I answered back appreciating his efforts.

"Keerti,I don't want to get married and trust me this has nothing to do with you.I m not in the idea to
get married in the recent years..I have my plans and I told my parents about this but they only dint listen
to me and arranged all this.."He said with an genuine apologetic expression on his face,while I was
fuming in anger.

"What the hell...You think this is my hobby to come to people's house and impress them..Im doing this
because I dont have any option its my fate..If you have no idea of marriage then why the hell did you waste my time"I yelled in frustration and whispered unknowingly"How will I face maa now..she seemed so happy,What will she do to herself?"

"Iam really sorry keerti..I dint mean to waste your time and emotions over me..Its all because of my parents"He tried to justify himself.

"Are you five year old toddler,dont u have the ability to convince your parents."I replied resenting.
