Part 3B
Mirza checked himself one last time in the mirror of his room before picking up the special gift he had for her and walked out. He was looking stunning, and the half open chest complemented his body even more. He jumped into the front seat of his car on the co-drivers seat with his parents sitting behind and sped off to the Khan Residence.
Razia was looking at herself in the mirror and kept thinking - Why dont I wear Indian more often? She was looking like a true princess of the Delhi Sultanate, and her golden jhumkas, heavy golden necklace and a perfect red tint of lipstick complemented the look. She was nervous as hell. It was not her marriage, not her final exam, nothing. But still she felt something big was happening in her life.
At sharp 8 in the evening, she heard a honk at her doorstep down. She ran out of the room and walked down the grand stairs of her house, with her high heels making a clanking sound. When she was on top of the last set of stairs in her house, she stopped and her eyes fell on the guests. A pretty woman, she must be Rukhsar Malik. A handsome man, though Senior, who was talking to her father was Mr. Taufiq Khan, she knew. But where was he?
Mirza checked himself yet again before entering their house. He looked at his watch, 8:01 pm. 'Yes, I should go in now', he thought. Never had he been so scared to meet a girl. It was as if he was going to ask someones hand for marriage from her father. He stepped in and saw the decoration. Even for this private dinner, a huge arrangement had been made by one of Delhi's biggest party organizers. Almost their entire house was painted in shades of yellow, signifying Gold. He greeted Altamash Khan and Shah Khan; he had a lot of respect for anyone he liked, and he liked them very much. But his eyes were looking for someone else. He moved in with the group and was greeted by a servant handing him a glass of water. He took the glass and asked the servant,"Bhaisahab, yeh Razia ji kahan hain?" The servant moved and pointed to the top of the staircase. Thats when their eyes met, and thats when the Lord Of Love smiled.
She saw him looking at her with soft eyes, not with the eyes of a hungry man. His face brightened up he moment he saw her. She noticed his green eyes, which were visible even from a distance. His hair was wavy and his shave a macho one. The suit he wore, she dreamt her dream man wearing the same suit and coming in her dreams. His open chest revealing his built abs made her feel like an electric shock going through her. Had she not been holding on to the stair railing then, she would've fallen off.
Mirza saw her as a star, a golden one. She was as bright as a diamond, and his green eyes were no match for her light brown ones. He slim waist and perfect muscles pulled him towards her to take her into his arms, now. As she started walking down, tucking her hair behind her ears, he noticed those golden jhumkas which he craved to delicately remove with his own hands and save them for eternity. Her full lips were just waiting to be touched by his. She looked like an angel walking down from heaven.
(Imagine Mere maula playing in the BG)
She walked slowly, thinking what to say to him. Both of them now were not Mirza Malik or Razia Khan, they were two young people who were stepping into a new phase of life called love.
She stood in front of him and greeted him. Mirza was just looking at her smile, and he forgot she had been wishing him Good Evening. He came back to his senses and apologized to her. He said,"A pleasure to meet you and thank you for calling me here." He took her hand and kissed it. She blushed like red tomatoes. They walked towards the dining table where the others were seated. Razia and Mirza sat at the end of the table, facing each other.
They were served with pure Indian cuisine; Various types of Rice, Daals, Biryanis, Naans, Non Vegtarians ghoshts, etc. Altamash was noticing the quiet glances that Mirza took at Razia and vice-versa. 'He may be it. But I must be sure.' He thought to himself. Shah Khan, on the other hand had some other plans in mind.
Razia And Mirza got up to have desserts which were placed on a different table nearby. They both talked as they went.
"So, how is your work going on now?", Mirza began.
"Good. I take my work in a very cool way so it doesnt really matter. Hows your life?" she asked.
"It has changed after you came" He answered.
"Sorry?" she asked, even though she fully understood what he meant to say. Even mine, she replied to herself.
"Oh!", said Mirza realising he was losing control over his mouth, " I mean after the deal. A lot of new stuff you know."
Mirza handed her a plate of Choco Lava cake and she thanked him. As they were walking back Mirza asked her, with much hesitation," Ms. Razia, may I ask you something, please dont mind." Razia smiled. "Ask me anything. And please dont call me Ms. Razia, just Razia. I would mind if you call me Miss." They both shared a laugh. He asked her," Razia, which perfume were you wearing that day in the meeting? It was very nice, I mean.. I could remake that and use it for my company." Her heart skipped a beat. 'Yes, he noticed me very well!" she thought. She replied," Why, it was your 'Itra' company's Signature collection's perfume. The name was, wait, ya! 'Mirza's Signatures'. You designed it and you only forgot!!" Mirza felt like slapping himself. Why yes! That's why it smelt so familar. It smelt so good on her.
Atlast the party was over and she walked him out. While the other's were talking, Mirza took Razia aside and asked her, "Razia, are you free tonight?" She looked at him in surprise and replied, "Night? W..well yes. Why?"
"Good. Nothing much. I'll bring a car at 2:00 am here. A BMW X1. Be ready. Dont tell anyone. I promise, I have a surprise for you. Nothing wrong."
" I know," she answered,"I will be ready."
Mirza smiled and got into the car. As the engine started, he waved bye to everyone and showed a 'victory' sign to Razia, which actually meant 'two'. While the others forgot about it, Razia was in a full mood to do what she had never done before - ESCAPE!!
