The Heartless Handsome (Sneak Peek)

Ⅵ. Wait...What?!

Aruna

After looking at my reflection in the mirror for the fourth time, I decide to leave the house.

I chose to wear a dark purple gypsy sleeved top with a pair of black jeans and a black woollen shrug. I chose pumps to wear because I am not a big fan of heels.

Do I look good, I asked myself as I glanced at my mirror image. Ugh!What the hell has happened to me? Its not that I'm going to be all sweet and giggly there but I'm going to tell him the truth. I picked up my handbag from the bed and left the room.

As I was leaving my mom asked , "Where are you going?"

Of course she would.

I didn't tell her about the whole thing of Sumit asking me to meet him and me agreeing and telling him we'll meet the very next day.

So I reply in a clipped tone, "I'm going to meet Sumit". As soon as his name slipped out of my mouth my mother squealed like a teen. I roll my eyes. As if I'm going on a date...duh...am I?really? Naaawww...

"That's wonderful. Is he coming to pick you up? You know that day when he and his grandma came to meet us, he had come in a black Mercedes. You know the car that you always drool over. Your husband-to-be owns that". She squeaked.

I scowled at her and she immediately stopped blabbering. I smirked as I left. Well she didn't see that. She has no idea what I'm upto...her dream of a rich son-in-law will drown in the sea. Did I sound like a she-devil? Oh well...

We had decided to meet at a cafe near my house. No way I'm going with him on a long drive....no more trusting any guy no matter how hot he looks.

~✽~✽~✽~

When I reached the cafe, I almost stopped on my tracks for second or so I think. Sumit was standing beside his car and the moment he saw me he started walking towards me.

Okay did I mention how very handsome he looked? Then here goes the description...He was wearing black pullover, blue jeans and black converses. His hair was a bit disheveled. He smiled.

His "Hello" snapped me out of my daze. Again. I hope I didn't look like an idiot standing and practically checking him out. I blushed before replying, "Hi" with a smile. Get a grip Aru.

But even if he did think anything he did not express it instead he asked, "Shall we?" I nodded. We walked towards the cafe.

As we entered, several pair of eyes looked at us. As if we were a celeb couple. Well they had to look because beside me an eye candy or an extremely handsome hunk was walking.

We took a corner table.

I felt my hands sweat. Come on Aru you can do this.

"Are you okay?" Sumit asked looking a bit concerned. "Uh.." I didn't know what to say so I just shook my head and offered a small smile. He smiled and I tried my best to hide my inner turmoil.

We sat there in silence for a few minutes. The waiter came and took our orders. I tried to prepare myself to say the biggest secret of my life. He too looked disconcerted. "So...how is everyone?" He finally chose to break the silence. I gave him a 'huh?' expression but then cleared my throat, "They are good and how is your um..grandma?" He nodded before saying, "She is fine as well". This time I nodded.

Silence resumed. We both looked at everywhere else but at each other. Okay if you think I'm bad in small-talk then you are 500% correct. But then even he wasn't any good. So as I was about to finally cut the small-talk and tell him for why I agreed to meet him, he suddenly said, " Uh..I need to tell you something...before you decide to marry me you need to know certain truths about me". He looked at me intently expecting me to say something.

"Even I need-" I trailed off suddenly realizing that he did say something along the same line.

"Wait..What!?" I sputtered. He gave me a flat look.

I frowned.
