A ferocious force of Nature, who Owned the very Essence. His daunting presence sucking the very life of out of his surroundings.
The intimidating, domineering, dangerous man had a Ice cold heart & a black soul. He was just as formidable as he was ru...
The beautiful twilight with twinkling stars in the blue skies peered from above. The loud knock stopped my thundering heart, battling my nerves in a calm I didn't feel. I walked with feet made of lead & with a deep sigh, I opened the door expecting Aarej instead to find Tahir Bhai dressed in a three-piece suit. Releasing a battered breath I downcast my eyes, my heart suddenly filled with disappointment, and an unhappy feeling flooded me. Tahir bhai exclaimed cheekily
Madame, Your chariot awaits... Let's go, your king is waiting!
I gave him a forced smile, my heart heavy I don't know why I was feeling so disheartened at not seeing Aarej. I never felt like this, I walked with him trying hard to pay attention to the amusing tales he was narrating but helplessly found my mind wandering towards Aarej...where is he...Ya Allah! I didn't notice but we have reached. Tahir bhai stopped at the two wooden doors & looked at me expectantly. Suddenly, I was extremely nervous, I didn't know what to expect. I tried to swallow the babbling panic, Tahir bhai noticed my pale face & in a most serious tone he whispered conspicuously
Babhi, You know you should go with a warning, poor bhai will have a heart attack when he sees you!
I glared at him but failed miserably, grinning sheepishly my nerves settled. I felt all the earlier excitement, my anticipation maddening, I gave him a nervous smile. He smiled back & teased
So...Are you ready to meet your king!
I laughed at his childishness, noticing the weird stranger from that day watching me. I think his name was Antonio, with a brief nod I moved forward. Tahir bhai opened the doors & escorted me inside. Inside was an unforgettable sight, all the glitter blinded me. Large glimmering chandeliers hung bestowing the mighty Elite in their dressy & pristine attire. The luxurious couches & ottomans graced the shining marble floors, with a sitting area on the corner. The dance floor was entirely another matter, it was a mix of country & rock, the disco lights accentuating the place. I was awed by the lively vibe but unfortunately, I made a grand entrance as I was fashionably late not willingly though...Couldn't Aarej call me before... least then I would not have to be the Center of Attention...stupid Aarej!...Taking a deep breath I pranced forward but my entry had gained the attention of more than a few people.

All heads turned & I was thrown to the wolves. I was surveyed from head to toe but I was least bothered because of what captured my attention or rather who was an enigmatic dilemma.Aarej stood in the middle of the group of men, his six-foot-plus height towering over several of them. He was a captivating sight, even amongst such powerful handsome men, he was an elusive dominating figure. His charcoal black tuxedo graced his god-like figure, adding to the intimidating aura surrounding him. He looked like the Devil himself, his devastatingly handsome beauty in contrast with his dark attire. He was a force in himself. He looked relaxed conversing with other men, he didn't look like the beast for whom he was named but the powerful man albeit a dangerously handsome one.
