And We Met Again

AMAYRA PROSPECTIVE

"WHAT THE " .. the first thought in my mind when I saw him sitting in guest room of my house and I was exactly standing in front of him holding tea tray to greet the guests.

The dark blue eyes were piercing at me sending the shiver down to my spin the same way when I saw them for the first time.

"what was he doing in my house. Isn't anyone coming to see me for marriage? Did my parents have to choose him? There are millions of boys out there in our caste and still he is here sitting in front of me with his irritating smirk."

Five years ago:

As I entered the cafeteria of my college I felt like electricity ran through my all over my body and hairs behind my neck were arisen. He was sitting inside the cafeteria facing front door looking towards my direction without blinking. There were other people also sat around him who were busy talking to each other. But he was continuously looking at me as he was mesmerizing me and he was actually achieving it as I was also continuously staring him. He was looking like a master piece of a painter or art of the nature. With plain white shirt and light blue jeans with snickers, he was sitting by resting his one leg on other as if he had acquired the whole world.

Present time:

I was frozen at my spot surprised and detested. But he still managed to give me the Goosebumps as in our first meeting. but unlike last time, now its reason was aversion I have for him.

I came out of my nightmare when my mother tapped my back two times and ordered me to ask tea to everyone.

I moved forward and gave everyone tea. And sat on one of sofas. I was trying my best to keep smile and shyness on my face. But the look on my mother's face told me that I am failing horribly.

My uncle cleared his throat to start the conversation and said " this is my niece I was talking about, "Amayra". She is a content writer in a business magazine and most of the time stay at home as she send her content online to their editors."

Boy side was looked very satisfied with uncle's words. And then uncle continues the introduction " And this is "Karan" . He built a well reputed firm by partnering his friend not only in India but also in New York, Canada and Australia within five years with his hard work."

"hardwok!!!" . " if I don't know him then I might be trust my uncle's every word he said about this person. But as well I know him he can do whatever but legally and precisely ."

Then I snapped out of thoughts again by my uncle's next words "why don't girl and boy sit alone and talk to know and understand each other."

"ha... alone in a room to talk and understand each other better. No one know and understand us more than each other. At least I think that." My and his mother took us to terrace room where we can sit and no one can disturb us while we talk. so we went there silently and don't even looked at each other. I guess we both were still angry from each other. The hate we have for each other, was cannot be described in word. If the circumstances were different then same thing I could say about our love. We were inseparable back then.

Karan Prospective

I got out of shower and wrapped towel around me when my mother came into my room with a lot of pictures of girls. She literally wants me to get married and settled down. So whenever I come home, marriage proposals start to shower.

"Karan, are you free? Take a look on these pictures. These girls are highly qualified that even can accompany you in your work or live with you. " and with this she started show me the girls she personally liked. But I didn't even glanced at those pictures and continue to wear my pajama and t-shirt. Its not like I don't want to get married but my heart didn't want any of these girls.

"mum" I took pictures from her hand and put it in trash can " I don't want to get married now. I just want to focus on my work and that's it" with this announcement my mother looked disappointed so I wrapped my around her and hugged her slightly and she sighed.

As I about to say further, dad called me " Karan, beta, come down soon. Look! Who is here" he seemed very excited from his voice so me and maa went down.

Rajesh uncle was sitting on sofa. I instantly recognized him. He often come to our house when I was a child and always bring a lot of candies for me. He always stated me as apple of his eyes.

After some years, I had to leave city for further studies and have my own apartment there to live. After many years I was meeting him again. I ran towards him and hugged him tightly and he hugged me back with same enthusiasm. And we stated to catch up from where we left. Until then mum came with tea and sat beside us.

After listening my lifestyle and work he said, " so, when are you planning to get married? "

I put my hand on my forehead. Again the same question which I was avoiding but mother's eyes shone when she heard the question as she was ready to attack me with those girls pictures again..

"I also want to know. I have showed him pictures of a lot of girls but he don't like anyone"

Hearing this my uncle thought something and took out his phone from his pocket and search for something and showed it to my mother " sister-in-law, how is this girl? She is my niece and earning very well." My mother took the phone start to admire the girl's beauty and showed it to dad. He also looked impressive with her beauty. Then my mother showed me the picture. I took the phone unwillingly but when i saw the picture I was stunned.

My mother started to ask question about the girl to uncle. But whatever she was asking I knew the answers. I was looking at face which not only stole my heart years ago but also broke my trust and shattered it into pieces. I was looking at the picture of my first love and last foe.

Next day , I was sitting in her house waiting for her to show up. After a while she showed with tray of tea wearing white suite with colorful dupatta. A strand of her loose hair was falling on her face which escalating her beauty dangerously.

Shit!!! She was looking damn beautiful. And then she looked at me .Her surprised eyes told me that what exactly she was thinking but whatever she was thinking it was starting from 'FUCK'. How I don't know. I was the one who taught her this.

She was naïve and full of shy when I first met her. Whenever I cursed in front of her she always looked at me surprisingly and asked meaning. I always smiled on her innocence. Fuck!!! I literally wanted to kiss on her lips at times whenever she asked.

finally at our special moment I told her the meaning of all cursed words and surprisingly she took it very calmly and tried to say those word as a little kid trying to speak. But now she was standing in front of me confidently burying her thunder in her mind.

Amayra

As we entered the room , I busted out. "What are you doing here? Got bored with one night stands that you decided to marry now." I crossed my hands in front of my chest. Although I was angry and tear off his face but I still remain calm. Though I could not hold my sarcastic mouth.

Suddenly he started to walk slowly towards me staring into my eyes. As he was stepping up in my direction I started to step back until my legs bumped into center table and I stopped. He was standing in front of me and our bodies were few inches far.

Then he grabbed me by my waist with his right hand almost covered the space between our bodies and his left hand was playing with the strand of my hair which was falling on my cheek because of air. He neared his lips to mine. I can smell his hot breath on my lips.

God!!! He was still smelling intoxicated.

Karan

She reacted as I expected when we left all alone in that room. She started with sarcastic remarks was showing her confidence. But one thing I know that she was angry after seeing me. If she could, kill me.

Well, feeling is mutual babe!!!

But didn't know what came into my mind that I started to approach her slowly. Holy fuck!!! She was looking good.

She saw me moving towards her and she slowly moved backward until she bumped into the table . I grabbed her by waist as I want to give support to her body and her hair was still playing on her cheek so I started to wrapped it around my finger.

Her pouty lips still look so beautiful and soft the urge to kiss them was started to arise and I start to closer my mouth to hers. When I snapped out of my reality and diverted to her earlobe and bite slightly and said, " lets finish what we started years ago."

After a moment her mother came into that room and I gave her smile and left the room. After a while they both came down and joined us. Our parents literally want to know and in their it was clear that they already settled everything. So when they asked I said "YES"

Amayra

I guess he is forgetting that two can play the game. So when he said yes. I showed my game face and started to smile and said "YES" They already have rings. What the hell. As they knew that we were going to say YES.

We were sitting beside each other and put the rings. When whole family was busy to congratulating each other and forget about us for a while . I turned my face towards him and said, " this time, the last strike will be from my side."
