"Aaah! These pleats of this velvet saree, oh my goodness, why did I even decide to wear this?" I cried out, letting out a defeated sigh. I had been struggling to arrange the pleats for the past 29 minutes, and now my hands were starting to ache.

Losing my grip on the pleats of my saree, I plopped down on the stool next to the dressing table, feeling disappointed and resting my cheeks in my palms.

"Are you ready? I'm almost done," I heard Kabir say as he emerged from the closet wearing a watch on his wrist and holding a brush in the other hand to style his hair.

I tilted my head up and caught his reflection in the mirror just as he came up behind me, asking, "What happened?"

"These pleats, I just can't get them right," I pouted, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Oh, so that's the problem. Okay, wait, do one thing. You just tell me how to do it, and I'll give it a try, alright?" he said, gently holding my hands and kneeling down in front of me. My eyes lit up with happiness as I nodded in agreement.

I stood up, and he followed my instructions perfectly. One by one, all the pleats were perfectly set, and both of us let out a sigh of relief. He stood up, holding the pleats, and then he looked into my eyes. Those eyes of his were truly mesmerizing.

He took a step closer to me, and my breath caught in my throat.

I felt his fingers gently touching the skin of my stomach as he tucked in the pleats. I held onto his shoulder for balance, closing my eyes as his fingers brushed against my belly.

The moment he finished tucking in the pleats, it felt like my breath was trapped in my lungs, and a shiver ran down my spine.

"Happy now?" he asked, stepping back. Finally, I opened my eyes to see my saree perfectly done, and I couldn't help but sigh with happiness.

"Yup," I smiled and said, "Just one thing, can you please tie the hook of this necklace behind?" I looked at him with a playful glimmer in my eyes, like a child seeking help. He chuckled at me and replied, "You're already very cute, you don't have to do anything to look any cuter. So stop making that puppy face, I'm here to help you only." He bowed down like a gentleman, and I couldn't help but giggle at his charming antics.

Handing him the necklace, I turned around, my back facing him. He gently moved my hair from the back to my shoulder on the left side, his fingers brushing against my skin ever so softly. My eyes closed instinctively at his touch, and a delightful shiver ran down my spine as I felt a wierd sensation in my stomach.

He gently placed the necklace around my neck, the coolness of the metal contrasting with the warmth of my skin. As he hooked the clasp, a sigh of relief escaped my lips. But then, something unexpected happened. I felt a soft touch against my back, and before I could fully comprehend it, his lips brushed against my skin as he kissed my back getting me goosebumps.

In that moment, a flurry of butterflies erupted in my stomach, making me clutch the side of my saree for support. My knees turned to jelly as his hot breath tickled my right shoulder, his nose coming in contact with my ear. I felt weak in the knees, overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment.

He held onto my waist providing the much-needed support in that moment. His voice, filled with admiration, whispered in my ear, "You have no idea how stunning you look right now, Mrs. Kabir." His lips brushed against my earlobe, leaving a gentle kiss before he stepped away, perhaps to put on his shoes or attend to something else.
