PRAKRITI PURNIMA

Last night was magic. It's the way to describe it. Things has taken a huge turn between Raghav and me. It's like i am starting to see him with new lenses. This time i am getting to know his inner self. The thought of him someone else leaves a bitter taste in me.

I never cared about looking good for any event or function before, because i knew i work in a male dominated field and if i dress up people wouldn't take me seriously. It doesn't matter how much i work hard or competent i am, they will only see a lady in me first.

But today i haven't had any work done and spent myself in spa enjoying every flashback i get of last night. My heart flutters at every remembrance.
I have never spent hours in getting ready before but today i am having my hair and makeup done by professional. I literally called Narath to arrange it in the last minute after wasting hours in self attempts. 

Tonight was the traditional celebration. I didn't had any dress that i could make use of. Than surprisingly, Radhika Ukti came to save me. As she found me struggling in shopping with my below average sense of fashion at the mall, She was with Anant as he had some work. She introduced me to premium collection of her brand and with the four hours of efforts, she found the perfect Saree for me. The fabric was tissue silk in rose pink colour with handcrafted embroidery of gold. She finalised it by saying your chocolate skin needs rose to make it for a date and giggled. Which didn't made any sense since there was not any date. But hearing it just increased the fluttering feeling in my stomach, i am feeling all day.

I look at myself in mirror. My minimalist makeup and hair off my shoulders. I have wore the saree in an hour trying to make every pleat perfect but in the end i just messed up. Nervousness starts to climb my head. At this moment, my insecurities taking it's height. I am feeling like the ugly duckling trying to fit in between the swans.
I notice my wrist watch, i am already three hours late. Than my eyes land on the his coat hanging on the wooden art piece as i couldn't bring myself to deviate from my vision zone. The urge in me to see him grow suppressing other emotions. I collected the pieces of courage in me and hesitantly move to the event.

I am under his spell that i couldn't help but crave more of him.

RAGHAV KRISHNAN

Have you faced the situation where every minute yours is control by someone else. You breath for them, your heart beat for them. The same you can say for me. Last night was blissful is an understatement because it was what they call heavenly.

The event is pack with personalities all dressed in traditional.  But I was in search for that pair of eyes that has capture my soul from the first glance.  She should have arrive here hours ago because she is someone who  never be late no matter it's formal or informal event, if she is going to attend than she will give hundred percent of her. With every moment passing by my heart loosing it's hope. Even though my eyes refuse to deviate  from entrance in the fear of losing any glimpse of her.

Finally universe bless me with sight of her. Her presence blur the world for me. The beauty she carries in herself is unmatched. She is adorned by rose colour saree with gold embroidery on lase and matching gold blouse. The small flower shape gold earing is teasing her rosy cheeks as she take steps down from stairs. Her swan neck is in cage of that flowered gold neckpieace

Her slow, hesitant pace reveals her nervousness. The eyes take in the environment and mine her. Her eyes met mine. She blushes and lower her gaze for a moment as she found me already staring at her. This makes me fucking proud of me. I stand at the end of stairs and held out my hand for her. She might think this my act of gentlemen but i am basterd that just couldn't wait any longer to feel her touch. Which she held with her gold painted hand. And simply she took away my breath as i admire her doe eyes shining, her lips painted in a shape of maroon.

"You should blink now" She spoke binging me out of her haze. I realised, i didn't blink from the moment she arrived.
"Not my fault prakriti, it's the view that is mesmerizing." If it was any other day i would have deviated the conversation but from since she starting to see me with those eyes. I can't help but reveal more of inner thoughts than necessary.

. "Are you trying to flirt, Mr Krishnan" She says, with a sly smile

"I was just stating the fact but if you want that's also can be done." I never imagine we can ever be on this stage. In this journey of years i knew keeping expectations is only going hurt. And here we are after seven years.

"Hey prakriti, i never knew this girl can be such a princess." Anant Agasti interrupt us, her focus shift on him. Radhika is my friend but at this moment her fiance is on my hit list. Their conversation goes from greetings to him complaining of her being late. They are family Acquaintance but him being extra friendly is fucking irritating me. He ask her to meet his friends, she gives me a glance, i nod than she leaves with him.

"You shouldn't gawk at your boss like that, you know it's bad manners." I recognise the voice. "I wasn't gawking, Radhika" I say lazily not wanting to explain it, lying on face. She chuckles, she stand beside me as she observe them.
"How did you manage to hide your feelings from prakriti for so long. Anant caught me at first moment." I smile at the her naive words. As i remember our first time working together. Our constant fight on silly things were highlight of my day. The anger on her nose makes her look fucking cute. That also became my way to hide those flutters i feel with her presence.

She is talking with our and Anant's business associates which is later join by her grandfather.

"Don't you think your soon to be husband should be spending time with rather than saying stupid things to my boss." I say, trying to control my urge to barge to them and pull her away from everyone to just me. And punch that piece of trash.
"I am not jealous like you because i have claim my love, you should also try, it gives great sense of peace. Till when you will keep looking from far."
She says trying to give piece of mind to me which i shall follow but i don't have the courage to put everything at stake. This is the exact reality encounter i needed to come to out of the false dreams that has surrounded me. Hence i stand here seeping what i can get from far.

I am under her spell that i couldn't help but crave more of her.
