The first glance
Kiara was walking behind her father
Kiara Mehra
Sigh! Why does everything here feel so rigid?
she had grown up with an officer as a father and yet the base always felt like another planet
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
Walk properly, Kiara.
(muttered without turning )
She rolled her eyes but quickened her pace
Kiara Mehra
Yes, Dad. As if I’m going to start marching too😒.
They stopped in front of a row of soldiers standing at ease. The men straightened instantly, saluting the Colonel. Among them stood a man who seemed carved from stone—broad shoulders under a perfectly fitted uniform, jaw sharp, eyes dark and unreadable. His very stillness radiated command.
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
Captain Arjun Rathore
(His tone softening slightly, which for him meant respect.)
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
One of my finest men
Arjun stepped forward, saluted, and then let his eyes flicker—just for a second—toward Kiara.
Kiara felt something spark, a strange electricity that made her stomach tighten.
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
This is my daughter, Kiara.
Arjun’s expression didn’t shift much. He bowed his head politely.
Captain Arjun Rathore
Ma’am.
( His voice was low, steady, almost too formal.)
Kiara raised a brow, amusement dancing in her eyes. “
Kiara Mehra
I’m nineteen, not fifty.
Arjun’s lips twitched—barely. Almost a smile, quickly hidden.Her father shot her a warning glare, but she only smirked, enjoying how flustered he got.
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
Discipline doesn’t see age.
(his gaze steady, unwavering.)
Kiara tilted her head, studying him. He was different from the boys she knew.
Random officer
Sir, can you come here for a minute.
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
Kiara, stay here. I'll be back soon.
The air between them shifted—he stood a respectful distance away, yet Kiara felt as if he occupied all the space around her.
Kiara Mehra
Hehe, God is helping me. Now i can freely flirt with him😍.
( 💭 thinking happily )
The first glance (part-2)
Kiara tried to start the conversation
Kiara Mehra
So, Captain, is it true soldiers never smile?
(in a playful voice)
For a moment, his gaze softened, as though her question cracked a wall he had built.
Captain Arjun Rathore
We smile. Just… not often.
(he said quietly)
Kiara Mehra
Why not often?
(curiosity sparkling in her tone.)
His eyes lingered on her face just a little too long, then shifted away
Captain Arjun Rathore
Because smiles are… distractions.
(in a cold tone)
The weight of it—made her pause.
Before she could ask more, her father returned, barking fresh orders. Arjun immediately straightened, focus snapping back into soldier mode.
Kiara Mehra
Uhh, why dad came so early. I haven't even asked him for a date😮💨.
(💭 sadly thinking in her mind)
Then the Colonel spoke about upcoming drills, an inspection, and something about late-night duty. Arjun nodded to each word, posture perfect.
Kiara, however, wasn’t listening. Her attention was all on him
Kiara Mehra
💭 He is so hot 🔥, straight from my dream. My prince charming
After some time later, As they prepared to leave, her father clapped Arjun on the shoulder.
Colonel Rajeev Mehra
Dinner at my place tomorrow. Don’t be late, Captain.
Captain Arjun Rathore
Yes, sir.
Kiara Mehra
💭😍😍😍Yes, I will be waiting for you.
The Colonel walked ahead, leaving Kiara to follow. She glanced back over her shoulder. Arjun was still there, standing tall, expression unreadable. But this time, she could have sworn his gaze followed her—just a fraction longer than necessary.
