HIS POV

My emotions for her are becoming a beautiful chaos that even I struggle to explain to myself. It is becoming impossible to determine the depth of what I have started to feel when she's around me.

I have never let anyone come so close to me emotionally but with her, it's a different case. She's breaking my walls with zero effort. And I'm pretty sure, she's totally unaware of that.

Spending time with her now feels like the best part of my life. Being with her makes me want to start transforming my life with new beginnings. She unknowingly makes me want to notice every little detail. I can't stop grinning just by recalling her beautiful smile, her innocent eyes, her blushy cheeks whenever I am close to her, her fierce attitude of not backing down, and those beautiful set of handful bangles, be they white or green. I like them.

It hasn't been many days but I still feel like she has already become a part of my life, and I have now started to want more of her presence.

And, her reaction has been noticed by me. I have realised she likes my company as well.

Also, today when she thought I was watching those girls her cute little anger was overwhelming. She was jealous. There is no other reasonable answer for that. I wondered if she liked me enough to feel jealous.

Although I can sense her liking for me, with how she reacts whenever I'm close to her. She melts in my arms whenever I bring her close to me, although even my pulse raced wildly at that moment. She seems to be losing senses whenever I take her name, her body stiffens on the mere mention of me being a part of her life, I realised that today.

Also, it wasn't easy to bring her name rolling out to my tongue. I had to build up the nerve for that was not easy. Her touch is soft and intense at the same time. It's going to make me do things in fate, I was going crazy thinking that.

For some unknown reason, it irked me to know that she saw a dead end to marriage. She was happy for her sisters' marriage but when it came to her happiness she seemed confined.

She did so because she wasn't willing to give chances to anyone. I wanted her to give others a chance, to give herself one chance.

I have started to take an interest in her or say she has started to become my interest.

I want her to believe in me and give me a chance, for reasons I find hard to describe.

Today, sharing food with her gave me butterflies. It tasted better to eat from the same plate as hers. I wanted more of us.

"It looks like we need to prepare a budget for the meeting, to convince other district ministers to help." Sarpanch ji spoke.

We were sitting in the living room discussing about the problem in hand.

Bhaisa assured him about the better condition of the farmers in the coming days and better future for the village and district.

"Beta how was the tour today? Did it do any help?" He asked.

"Yeah! After talking to farmers I've understood the Rao's have messed with the traditional methods of farming of farmers who didn't agree to sell. We will have to move on to modern farming techniques. Also, the research reports were of big help." I said.

"That's good. I'm very thankful to you both. If you people need anything please let me know," he said.

"Actually I'm planning to strengthen the water supply and electricity supply throughout the village before the meeting. But since I'm new here, it'll be a big help if anyone with an authentic research report helps in supervision." I said, sounding sincere and convincing.

I prayed to god he would get the lead.

"Yes, of course, Adarsh will assist you with whatever you need," he said, crushing my feelings.

But I masked it with a smile

"Actually baba I'm leaving early in the morning tomorrow for the city, I will return late. But Sunaina is also good at research work. She knows this village like her home." he said and I felt like breathing again with hope.

"But she is also busy at home, we can ask someone else," Daksh Bhaisa said and I looked at him confused, giving weird ideas.

"I'll ask her if she's okay with that." Sarpanch ji said and smiled nodding at him.

Later on, everything went as planned but what happened next was never in any of my planning. She ignored me for the rest of the day. The whole evening and dinner went by her ignorance and I wasn't taking it well. Why was she doing that? Did I do something?

I could not lay on my bed thinking about what I did to make her mad. I was getting restless.

Immediately I got up from my bed and climbed up to her window. The good thing was her bed, which was attached to the window. The first thing I see is her, lost in thoughts. Whose thoughts I wondered.

"What are you doing here?" she asked after I sat on her window with my legs dangling.

"Missed you," I said, turning her nervous.

"Wh...what?" she was at a loss of words.

"Aap hume nazarandaaj kar rhi thi, hume laga shayad aap humse naraz hai, humse koi galti hui kya," I asked very softly looking into her eyes.

(You were ignoring me, I thought you were mad at me, Did I do something wrong?)

"Haan, hain hum naaraz," she said and suddenly pushed me but before I could fall down she pulled me back laughing and I lay back on her bed with force.

(Yes, I am mad)

My heart hammered just by the stunt she pulled but I couldn't even process all this because I was busy admiring her laughter.

"Ab pata chala aapko kaisa lagta hai jab aapko koi tang kare," she said in between her laughter.

(Now you know how someone feels when you tease them)

I placed one arm below my head and looked at her giggling.

"Par humne aapko kab tang kiya?" I asked.

(But when did I tease you?)

Suddenly she stopped to answer.

"Kab? Har waqt jo aap hume aankh maarte rehte hai uska kya?" She said sitting in front of me after crossing her legs.

(When? What about your act of winking at me whenever you get the chance to do that)

"Aapko achha nahi lagta?" I asked starting to tease her.

(You don't like it)

"Hnn?... isme... isme achhe ki baat nahi hai... aa..apne socha hai, koi dekhega to kya sochega?" She said, avoiding to look at me.

(Wh..at? ... It... it is not about liking, have you... have you ever thought, what if someone sees it, what will they think?)

I turned to her side and placed my elbow on the bed supporting my head over it.

"Kya sochega?" I asked.

(What will they think?)

"Yahi... yahi ki hamare beech kuch hai," she said.

(that... that something is there between us?)

"To kya nahi hai?" I asked and she surprisingly looked at me.

(Is it not?)

I wanted to know the answer to that. What would she say now? Every other time she has an answer for almost everything but she chooses to stay quiet for this?

"Aap pehle hai jo hume aise chup kara dete hai," she said while fixing her dupatta.

(You are the first who shuts me like that)

"Aur aap bhi pehli hai jisne hume kurta pehnaya hai," I said and she looked at me with innocent eyes and shut mouth.

(And you are also the first who made me wear a kurta)

(kurta- a long, loose shirt worn by men)

"Aur aap pehle jo hamare kamre me is tarah der raat aate hai," she said trying to tease me but only I smiled at it.

(And you are the first to come to my room like this late at night)

"Aap bhi pehli jisne hume bina kapdon ke dekha hai, woh bhi do baar," I said with a smirk and her mouth left open.

(And you are also first who saw me without clothes, two times)

"Hawww... woh to aapne-" she tried to say something but gritted her teeth, shutting her mouth.

(Hawww... you yourself-)

I bit my lip trying hard to control my smile.

"Aapne bhi to hamara-" she tried to say something with actions but kept quiet looking away.

(You have also... my-)

I felt confused about what she was talking about. Suddenly I looked at her palm touching her belly, when she stopped midway and I realised what she was talking about. My smirking smile grew wider. I immediately sat up, shifting close to her. She was startled by my move.

She looked into my eyes with shock and a little nervousness.

"Really am I the only one to see that?" I asked with a very soft and intense voice.

I wanted her to say yes. But with affectionate emotions.

But she immediately pulled herself together and changed her demeanour. Her eyes were now no more innocent instead they looked powerful. She regained confidence.

"No. Radhika is the first one." She said confidently, crossing her arms.

"And I'm the last," I whispered looking at those fierce eyes turning naive again.

She started to breathe heavily. And I took notice of every little detail of her face. I was losing control of my emotions now, as I started to dive into her facial expressions. I leaned to her ear while I could almost hear her heart beating.

"Waise khoobsurat to aapki kamar ka til bhi hai," I said and pulled back.

(By the way, the mole on your waist is quite beautiful too)

She sat still, confused about what was happening between us. She was too stunned to react to anything.

I smiled a little and flickered her nose before leaving.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I said and climbed down.

After walking back to my room I lay back on the bed and slept peacefully with a smile, wondering about her.

I got up early in the morning and finished my morning routine. I wore a black shirt and beige jeans and hurried downstairs to join everybody for breakfast.

I sat beside Daksh, with her and my family, but she was nowhere to be seen. In fact Jhanvi and bhabhi-sa were also not present here. I started to have the meal while still wishing for her to be seen.

"Tejas beta, are you leaving somewhere?" I heard about Sarpanch ji's wife.

"Ji... actually I need to supervise around the village today," I said, smiling a little.

"Alright, but please have lunch on time, is Sunaina coming with you?" She asked and I quickly dropped all my facial expressions so as not to get caught.

"Yes she will be there for help," Sarpanch ji said while I focused on the food.

Suddenly curd looked very interesting to me. Just like her name.

"Alright be careful both of you and I'll send lunch on time." She said and I nodded with a pleasing face.

"Tejas try making the most of it today, we don't have much time," Daksh Bhaisa said and I nodded.

But then I thought about his words. I really don't have much time with me, I should try making the most of the moments we get together.

Finishing breakfast I walked outside while talking with my secretary on my phone. He was filling me with office reports and I asked him to prepare some documents when I heard her voice.

"Chalein?" She said and I turned to look back at her and my eyes stuck on her.

(Shall we?)

She looked beautiful, elegant, fresh and bright. The colour suited her. But no bangles today.

"Follow me when you are done staring," she said and walked ahead of me.

I could not help but smile at her words and follow her behind.
