Chapter 14

Rahul's POV

I was waiting for the day to get over, so that I could take her to dinner. My mom called and told me that Pooja aunty has taken Priya to her home and I have to pick her, from there for dinner.

I went home, changed and quickly went to Kabir Uncle's house. I greeted Uncle and aunty and my eyes were searching for my angel. Uncle was asking me questions regarding business and I was telling him about the upcoming projects when I saw her coming in the room. She was looking... out of the world. I forgot to even blink. She was wearing a red gown and I was mesmerized.



I came to my senses, when Uncle started asking me questions. Aunty told him not to tease me. I blushed and asked their permission to take Priya out.

We came out of their house. I was still looking at her.

" You are looking very beautiful, Priya."

She just smiled and said, "Thanks, you are also looking very good." She was blushing. I wanted to take her in arms and kiss her but I stopped myself.

We came to the most popular restaurant in the city. I already had a table booked for us. We were escorted to our table by a waiter. We ordered the food and were enjoying the live band. They were playing soft romantic music. The waiter came with our order. We started eating. She was eating slowly, she served me more food and when I started to serve her more when she said she was full. I picked up a spoon full of the food and offered it to her, she shook her head, but opened her mouth when I insisted. She ate it shyly and said that she is really full. Then she also held a spoonful of food for me. I grinned and ate it. Everything looked so good.



" Priya, you know this is my favorite restaurant. I usually come here With Mehul."



" It is the most happening place to eat... amazing food, nice interior, good decent crowd and above all this awesome live band. Perfect place... I love it too."



" What else, do you love, Priya?" I asked and she looked a bit confused.



"I mean we don't know much about each other. So I think, I must get to know what are your likes and dislikes."

" Yes, sure I also want to know about you. I love..."

Just then my phone started ringing. It was an international call. I was about to ignore it, but she told me to take the call, it could be important. I reluctantly picked up the phone but the signal was a bit weak.

" Priya, please excuse me for five minutes. It really seems important and I need to go out to take this call."

She just nodded with a smile.

I went out and called the number again. It was just about some overseas order. I talked to my client for 5 minutes and went inside. I saw that a man was trying to talk to Priya. I couldn't see his face as his back was facing me. I could say that Priya was not very comfortable. Taking long strides I reached my table and I spun him. It was Anuj.



" Oh, Rahul you are also here? Congratulations yaar. So how is your married life? How is Leena? Won't you introduce me to this beautiful girl? I saw her at your wedding ."



" Sure why not, Priya, this is Anuj Sharma and Anuj she is, Mrs Priya Rahul Kapoor. My wife."



" What ??? How ?? When? But you were getting married to Leena. You were in love with her. What happened at your wedding?"



" I am really thankful, that I am not married to her and I was not in love with her."

" Now, please Anuj, do you mind? Can we talk about this later? I am here on a date with my beautiful wife. Please excuse us."

" Yes sure, any way… nice meeting you, Priya ."

" Mrs Priya Rahul Kapoor " I glared at him and silently told him to stay away from her.



Stupid man what was he doing here and why was he still looking at her?



He smiled at me, he was annoying me deliberately. I was about to punch him when he turned away after looking at Priya.



I was fuming, when I felt a hand on my arm. It was Priya's. " Are you alright Rahul?" She was concerned for me, I held her hand in mine.



" I am fine, Did he bother you? What was he saying, when I came back?"



" He came to our table and said he knew me, but I said that I didn't, so told me that he saw me at your wedding. He said that he requested you to introduce him to me but you refused."



" He is really irritating."



" It's ok, Rahul. Let's not spoil our dinner over him. "



" Let's have some dessert, what will you have?"

" I am full, but I would love to have some. I won't be able to finish it, so I can share whatever you are having. What do you want?"



A kiss... from you… Well, I will have to wait for that.



She was looking at me so I said, " I have at least 16 sweet teeth, I can eat anything."



" Same here "



We ordered ice-cream with some exotic fruits in it. It was their speciality.

We enjoyed it together.



Beautiful moments with my angel.



"Hmmm, so you were telling me about yourself..." I said.



" Ok, I love soft Indian music like old songs, gazals and love to dance..."



" So, may I have the honour to dance with you, ma'am?"



" Oh, I don't know this kind of dance."

" Then, let me teach you. "



She smiled but shook her head and said, " Some other time, please. I am really tired, I danced for at least four hours today. "



" Four hours? How? when? "



" We have an inter-college competition and my teacher is really after me to participate in it. I didn't want to as my exams are just around the corner. But she didn't listen to me."



" You must decline if you don't want to participate in this competition. Nobody can force you. You have a valid reason as your exams are starting next week. "



" I said all that to her, but she said, I am the best student of the college so I don't need to study and as I am the best dancer who will participate, if not me. So I have no option... "



" You must be dead tired by now let's go home."



" Hmmm... I am very tired, it was a good evening, I enjoyed it."



I smiled at her and drove to our home. When we reached home, everyone was in the living room. Dad and mom were watching TV and Rohit was surfing on his phone.



They all smiled at us and Rohit said, " Someone is dressed to kill today, were there any casualties? Rahul are you all right? "

" I am fine and by the way, don't you have anything good to do. " I said smiling.



Dad was laughing now he said," Next time you go out with her you need to take security. "



" I can also come as her security guard ." Rohit winked at us.



Priya was blushing, " Oh please, dad and Rohit, Stop exaggerating. You are embarrassing me."



" Yes, and I don't need to take security with us to safeguard Priya. I am enough for that."



They all started laughing. Mom said, " Priya you must be very tired please go and rest. You are looking gorgeous today. "



She smiled and nodded and said goodnight to everyone.

I talked to dad and Rohit about the phone call I received during our dinner and dad said we will discuss it in the office tomorrow.



When I went to the room, Priya had already changed and she was combing her hair, she was still looking very pretty. I went to the washroom to change into my night suit. When I came back, she was still sitting there. I asked her, " What are you thinking about? "



She said, " Nothing, I was just thinking that I must sleep now as it will be a tiring day tomorrow. "
