"Don’t judge a book by its cover."
Happy reading......
"Oh no Sherlock!" , I screamed loudly, squeezing my eyes shut and my feet rooted to the place.
Rip Mihra !
Please bring orchids to my funeral okay !
Literally I was imagining burying myself under the six feet ground, it’s disturbed by a laughing sound. I opened my one eye slowly peeking outside and realised that I was alive. The buffalo was nowhere near my sight and was very grateful to my God for saving me.
"Thank god.", I was taking heavy breaths trying to relax my shivering body with my eyes still shut. I could hear my thumping heart behind my chest.
"Aap thik ho ? (Hey are you okay ?)", I heard a voice behind me and instantly my heart beat picked up at how soothing it was. It’s a male voice and surprisingly so manly.
I calmed myself and swiveled around. I saw a six feet man standing a few steps away from me by dropping his hands either side of his hip. His face was covered with a red cotton cloth and I could see only his dark brown eyes with thick eyebrows. His black eye lashes were so long that they were fanning his clothed cheeks. His eyes held something in them like magnetism that had my eyes glued to him.
His eyes are really beautiful !
"Are you fine ?", he asked me again, walking towards me and I rolled my eyes at his local language.
"Illiterate man, seriously what else can I expect from this village."
He almost towered my 5’6” form and I Immediately jumped back.
"Stay away… you dirty man." I screamed, maintaining a decent distance from him thinking about the dirt on his jeans. I clutched my nose and glared at him. But I felt something wet on my leg and looked down to see what it's. Then I heard him in talking in English which literally shocked me.
"Hey, careful Cara mia.", he whispered.
My eyes widened and my nose crinkled up in bewilderment.
"Shit, holy cow..", a high pitched scream left my lips as my whole body cringed, seeing something green substance sticking on my shoe and knee.
"Yes it’s cow poop.", I heard him as bent down his head trying to control his laugh which made my anger more.
"What ??Oh no..", I shrieked.
Cow poop !
Ewww kill me god, just kill me !
"You are laughing at my state, how dare you?", I stepped forward in anger.
"Cara stop..", he shouted while pointing his hands down to the road. Before I looked down, my leg already slumped into the same wet again. This time another foot and I almost dazed seeing myself.
"What the shit Sherlock. Why it's only me ?", I yelled watching my dirty feet.
"I told you to stop but you didn’t listen to me. See what happened now.", he said whilst checking me top to bottom.
"Will you please stop checking me out, I am already dying here with this cringe feeling.", I fumed looking down at my leg.
Ewww I will puke any second !
"Why the hell didn't you stop me ? .. you should have grabbed my hand.", I scowled at him.
"First I am not checking you out, I am observing your state whether it’s only on your knee or on your total body. Second one, just remember what you said a few minutes ago? You told me clearly to keep distance from you as if I am some human virus. That's why I didn’t hold your hand, still I told you to stop but you didn’t hear my suggestion." he said in a middle tone while looking straight in the eyes.
"Yeah whatever, I was just lost thinking about how you know English. I thought you were an Illiterate village person and I wasn't expecting that ." I blabbered.
"Don’t judge a book by its cover Cara mia. If I am a village man it doesn’t mean that I am an Illiterate person. In fact, no village guy is Illiterate here. It’s just looking the way you want to see them."
“Now will you stop lecturing me and help me with this shit to clean.", I was irritated with his damn lecture. God, I already have my mother at home who would give free lectures everyday. I don't want another person to join the team.
"Just stand there don’t move, I will guide you safely okay." , he said, reaching me and placing his hand before me.
I looked at him, he was telling me to give my hand in his through his brown eyes and I shifted my gaze back to his hand. I pushed the germs thought aside for a moment because I was already scared of thinking how many bacteria and viruses were crawling on my body right now. So I stopped debating with my brain and placed my hand in his. His fingers instantly gripped over mine and guided me forward. The second when his fingers linked with mine, I felt a weird feeling bubbling inside my stomach. I didn’t know what that was but I shrugged it aside. I followed his steps with my eyes, keeping on the road the entire time, not wanting to jump in another poop or puddle. I felt his fingers warmness hovering over mine, my gaze shot to our gripped hands. His fingers were so white and long. They were shockingly so soft in mine, it should be rough and hard right? As he was farming here but I felt the opposite of it. I doubt whether he was really a village man or not. Because the way he was talking in English so calmly and fluently with a foreign accent to it. He wasn’t sounding anywhere near to a village man.
"Step forward carefully.", I lifted my gaze from his hand to up and found an open water pump which was fixed for the crops.
“You clean yourself until I wait there ", he said pointing the farthest distance from the place where you could only see thick bushes and fencing.
"What the hell, how can I wash myself ..ugh I can’t touch this shit with my hands.", I was horrified. Even the imagination was repulsing my skin.
"Then how can it leave without washing ?", he asked me confusingly.
"You will help me cleaning this.", I stated as if he was my servant. He looked shocked a bit and looked here and there awkwardly. What’s wrong with him ?
"Cara mia I can’t..", he denied straightly.
"How dare you say no to me, you know what, hundreds of boys are dying for my one handshake in my college and here you are refusing to help me. Are you showing me the attitude that I asked for your help?", I fumed, crossing my arms across my chest.
"And don’t call me Cara mia, you are not my friend."
“Then call your friend, I am leaving.", he spoke to my face and turned to leave.
"What the hell ….? How can you leave me like this in the middle.", I shouted.
"That’s your problem you should watch your language before saying anything to others." he said moving forward leaving me behind all angry.
Urgh I wanted to kill this guy with my bare hands but I can't. I need his help to get out of this mess. Come on Mihra baby, put your ego aside and say sorry to him.
"Okay I went overboard. I am sorry." I said but he didn’t respond to me as he kept walking ahead.
"I SAID FUCKING SORRY, PLEASE HELP ME BLUE SHIRT MAN.", I shouted loudly enough to reach the other village.
He closed his ears with his hands and turned around. His eyes scrutinized and his body stood lazily.
"Who is this blue shirt man Cara mia ?"
I could see his smiling lips behind that red cloth but I controlled my anger.
"Of course you, do you see anyone else here except us ?", I rolled my eyes.
"You should have asked me my name, Cara mia.", he said in a soft tone.
"Don’t call me carrrrrr..", my words slipped back into my throat when I saw him raising his eyebrows challengingly at me. He was blackmailing me now, it’s not good.
"Okay, what’s your name SIR.", I asked, gritting my teeth.
He stared at me for a second as if he was contemplating whether to tell me or not. Taking a sigh he replied calmly.
"Abhi"
"We knotted in a holy bond together forever" Happy reading… The day before Mihra's birthday. Time is night 8 PM Mihra Kapoor p.o.v Feeling jittery all over Heart was on marathon Palms getting sweaty Feet trembling on the floor Because I AM GETTING MARRIED "Aww you look so pretty in this red silk saree", Nisha gushed as she knelt down before me, arranging the layers neatly one by one. Finally I am going to marry the man I destined, the man I wanted and the man I loved. I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered was she really me? My cheeks, hands and total body were glowing like a bright moon. "I completely look like a south indian bride. Don't I?", I mumbled under my lips, feeling astonished. The silk saree and traditional jewelry was so heavy that my knees almost buckled under their weight. But it all felt worth it as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. "Yes, this is our beautiful Mihra, see the color of love is clearly evident on your face", she said, poking
"I need holy water now" Happy reading.... "Abhi can't we walk? I want to enjoy the beauty of this village", I asked him with a pout on my lips. On cue Abhiman looked up at the sky to see if there's any chance of rain anytime soon and then gazed back at me. I know it's cloudy but I want to walk through the green fields. "Abhiman don't worry there is a car already ready for you at the temple. Your uncle had an idea about the weather so he arranged it beforehand.", Hari aunty said, solving our problem without even uttering. "What if we get drenched in the middle of our journey?", he asked me. "Oh right I forgot about it", I said looking down sadly. "I have a solution for it also.", Mom said, this time making me look at her, surprised. "What?" "Yes Mihra, I have already told Hari to pack spare clothes for you both so you can change if necessary when you reach the temple.", she smiled at me. I gave happy hugs to both of them ,"Thank you so much lovely ladies" "I think we should g
"My poor heart pouted at his cuteness" Happy reading.... Mihra's p.o.v I wore a blouse and a skirt. After I slipped my feet in five inch heels as mom advised me to wear footwear before wearing the skirt. So as to get its height adjusted accordingly. "Always make sure that the skirt almost skims the ground and be careful when you walk.", mom said while taking the end of the drape. It's a 4m of drape, she wrapped it around me creating a pallu/drape sort of fall on my left shoulder. She took the end of the drape and took one corner, tucked it in on the waist on the right-hand side so that its other corner formed this lovely V sort of form across my left hip. I was trying to memorize the process so I could wear it on myself next time. "If you tuck it at the center of your waist in front, then this V-shape will be formed perfectly behind." "Mom, it's difficult to get it but I will try to remember", I smiled watching her. "Next take the rest of the length and bring it round from th
"I don't know what would I be if you were not there with me" Happy reading... I laid wide awake in the wee hours of morning. My head placed on Abhiman's chest comfortably as I was listening to the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat and steady breath. It was soothing and calming. My hands wrapped around his rock torso and my legs tangled with his. I was pressed against his side by his one hand draped on my waist possessively. My lips curved up as my eyes peered at him observing him keenly. His right hand was folded under his head and hair was falling on his forehead messily. His long eyelashes kissing his white cheeks and lips were slightly parted giving the view of his reddish tongue. His breath was deep and warm. I quickly prayed in my heart to wake up like this everyday in his embrace. He looked so serene and angel. My solace and tranquility. The image just etched in my memory and it won't fade away until my last breath. My eyes noticed a red mark on his right shoulder and I blus
"Trust me love" Happy reading.... "Remove your bathrobe and lay on your stomach" "What? Are you serious?", I asked him incredulously as my eyes noticed a tray placed on the bed which had a heating pad and an oil bowl. "Yes, I am a hundred percent serious. Now close your mouth and do as I said.",he said sitting on the bed. My hands instantly reached my chest shielding and my saucer eyes stared at him in disbelief. "No! I don't need anything, I will be fine by tomorrow.", I said in horror, hugging myself. No way, am I going to naked before him. Oh really Mihra! Then what about your wild thoughts? How on earth would he make love to you without undressing you? - subconscious smack. I didn't know, at first I had found our make out sessions hot but imagining me naked lying before him making me restless and my heart would explode in tension - I replied. "Are you zoned out again?", he snapped his finger in front of my face, breaking my conversation subconsciously. I looked at him
"Don't talk to me" Happy reading.... Our car and Varun's car stopped one by one at the Stadium. As soon as we stepped out camera flashes welcomed us instantly. I shut my eyes and brought my wallet to cover my face immediately as the brightness was too much to handle. I had never been exposed to media and tv. Though I was always fascinated by this kind of attention, in reality it's difficult to handle. It needed confidence and courage. Because I don't like to be the centre of attraction which draws unnecessary attention towards me. "Mihra don't be scared, I am here with you. Just keep your head high and keep your posture calm when you face the camera.", Abhi said sweetly while grasping my hand in his. I nodded at him undertaking his words. The previous nervousness was gone now. "I am with you", he assured me again and I felt all fuzzy inside. His other hand placed on my lower back protectively as he guided me inside through the crowd while smiling at flashing cameras. "Abhiman
