Broken by love

Chapter 7

Antara's pov

I came downstairs and found Aashish ji talking with amma.

"Antara di is here !" Prithvi said pointing towards me

I felt very conscious about my appearance.

"you're looking very beautiful, Anatra. See Aashish ji is here to take you for the event. But come back on time." Amma said with a smile on her face but I got the warning behind her words

"Yes amma I will drop her back on time. Don't worry about it. She is safe with me." He said and I looked down at my feet

"I know that. But I'm like her mother. I have raised her and you know the mother's tension for their daughter." Amma said and my heart filled with happiness

It's true that she has loved me like her daughter. She never differentiate between Pakhi and us..

" don't worry your daughter is my responsibility I won't let anything happen to her ever. "He said and I felt his gaze on me but I didn't looked up

" Shall we go to Antara? "He asked and I nodded in yes and took steps ahead

My heart is thudding inside my ribcage so hard and fast that it's feeling like it will explode any moment.

I bid bye to everyone and left from there.

When I came out he was standing there opening the car door for me..

I sat inside mumbling a thank you and he also sat in the driver seat. He has come alone, no driver with him or any guards.

"You are looking very beautiful, Anatra! Just like an angel!" He complimented me and my cheeks became more red even if that's possible.

"thank you." I said to him

"won't you say something about me?" he asked and I looked at him

"You always look good, there is nothing new to say." I told him and inwardly smacked myself for saying these

What will he think about me? That I'm a creep who is stalking him oh god!

But why should he think something? I didn't say anything wrong, right? It's the universal truth. And he has asked me for a date that too early so he should not think anything right?

"so you think I'm handsome?" He asked

"I did not say anything about being handsome, did I?" I asked him back

"I like this attitude very much." He said and laughed

"where are we going?" I asked him

"somewhere you will like it very much." He said not answering my question properly

Soon we reached near a well known 5 star hotel and it's his hotel.

It belongs to the Raichand group of industries.

"don't you think I'm underdressed for a place like this?" I asked him

I have never been to a place like this. I wished to come but it was always out of the league.

"you are not. Just chill! Anyways no one is here except us." He said and took me inside by holding my hand

And believe me I felt electricity flooding inside me.

His touch is I can't describe it.

"here we are. Sir'' he said and I noticed that we are already inside

I missed all the details as I was busy thinking about his touch.

I sat and he also did.

"So what would you like to have? You can have any drink for now." He said and give me the menu card

"orange juice!" I told him not looking at the menu

I'm feeling really nervous now I don't know why.

"OK then!" He said ordered two orange juice and the waiter served it immediately

"Antara I know it's all very much new for you and sudden as well you can say that it's happening too fast but the thing is I know you from 6 years now. I saw you when you were only 14 years old. But I never approached you thinking you are still a kid but now as you are already 20 I want to tell you about my feelings for you. Accepting or rejecting is in your hands. "He said and I looked at him in complete shock

Is he serious? Is it really happening? Oh God, he also likes me? That's why he asked me for a date.

" I love you very much Antara! I can't see my future with someone who is not you. I have accepted you as my life partner but I won't force you to accept me." He said and I melted there

I just can't believe that whom I have admired from so long a time is in love with me. I always thought that he never noticed me where he did on the very first day.

" What happened to Antara? Say something "He said

" will you believe if I say that I also have feelings for you? And I swear I am not lying at all. I never thought that you would notice me leaving about loving me. But yes I do have feelings for you but I don't know what to name them. What is it I don't know? Maybe It's love or attraction or infatuation I really don't know what to name it . "I told him

" you don't have to name it yet take your time to do so. No hurry. But I'm glad that you also like me or maybe love me. I just want one chance, Antara one chance. Will you give me that? "He asked me

" I will give it to you. " I told him with a smile and got a big heart fluttering smile in return

" you just made me the happiest person alive in this world. I promise you that I will never break your trust. "He promised me

Our date passed very quickly and happily. He made me watch a movie with him and then have dinner as well and he even bought a lot of chocolates for the kids.

The whole time I could feel his gaze over me. But I didn't react to that.

When he dropped me I asked him to come inside but he refused saying he has some work to finish.

But before he left he held my face and kissed my forehead lightly.

My face is looking like a tomato I know.

"I like it when you blush and love it when you blush because of me. I love you so much." He said and I blushed more

I couldn't say the words to him yet when I haven't confirmed myself. But soon I will have an answer for him.
