Author’s POV

They both sat on a rock a bit far from RagLak seeing the way the shoot is going on. Mayank has gone due to some work which Nupur has told him suddenly.

“Awww… they are so cute!” she said suddenly putting her hand on his shoulder.

His heart stopped for a second and then raised the speed as if going to a marathon. He turned and looked at her face which is really very near to him and glowing in the light of before the sunset.

He has been taking glances of her since morning making sure he doesn’t get caught by Mayank or her. She has been talking something or the other with Mayank since morning and frequently commenting how cute his di and jiju are looking together. Now as Mayank has gone it was only them and she has only him to talk. When Mayank said he is going his mind danced in all kinds of dance forms realising that he is going to get atleast few minutes with her alone. He knows that they will not be talking much but he can get the chance to get her glances even more now.

He kept staring her face until she turns towards him. As soon as she turned towards him he turned away to not to get caught by her.

“You were staring me?” she asked with frown suddenly.

His heart stopped beating for a second for getting caught but immediately he composed and looked at her confused.

“Why would I?” He asked trying to be normal.

“Because I know I am cute!” she shrugged and looked again at RagLak.

He looked at her surprised and a smile formed on his lips.

“What If I am?” he asked raising his eyebrow.

She looked at him.

“I don’t mind!” she said shrugging.

“And why don’t you mind?” he asked really very much surprised.

“Because I like you!” She said so casually making him choke.

He started coughing badly while she got worried and immediately passed the water bottle which is beside her. He drank and relaxed a bit. He looked at her and she smiled. He couldn’t help but smile looking away.

“You have any problem if I continue liking you?” She asked.

He could only look at her shocked almost his eyes popping out of his sockets.

“You look more cute when you are shocked!” She says pulling his cheek.

He once again chokes and this time she rubs his back helping him to calm down. Once he calmed down he looks at her with wide eyes. She winked at him giggling.

“Please spare me for few seconds.” He said keeping his hand on his chest.

She laughed looking at his condition. She suddenly held his hand and kept her head on his shoulder. He couldn’t help but smile.

“I really mean it. I liked you at the first meet only. It was like attraction but as we kept meeting it was something that is pulling me towards you.” She said looking at RagLak.
