Amavasya Ki Raat (Moonless Night)
Chapter 7
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(Time to put my plan into action. Show her, and everyone else, that I'm not interested. Let's get this over with.)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Looks up, eyes locking with her*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Heart skips a beat*
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Blushes, cheeks flushing*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Pulse racing*
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Lowers her gaze, eyelashes fluttering*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(Wow, she's... breathtakingly beautiful!)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(Her cheeks are flushed with the most adorable blush, and her smile can light up an entire room.)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(Those deep, gray eyes shimmer like a moonlit mist, and her pink lips... they're inviting...)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(She's... absolute perfection.)
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Look up, meet his gaze*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Forgot his existence* You're beautiful.
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Cheeks turn pink, smile* Thank you.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Eyes wide a little* (Shit!)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Cleared his throat* What's your name?
Chand Narayan (FL)
Chand Narayan.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Nods* I am—
Chand Narayan (FL)
I know you.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Frown, confused*
Chand Narayan (FL)
😅 I mean, my brother Kshitij is a big fan of yours; he used to talk about you so that's why I remembered you.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Nods* Oh...
Chand Narayan (FL)
W-would you like some tea? Should I pour it for you?
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Shake head* No, no thank you.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Gulp*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(There's nothing wrong with having a cup of tea... right?)
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Playing with her fingers* Umm... If you want to ask anything else, you can ask.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
(Shit! I almost forgot why we came here. Time to get my priorities back on track and get to work!)
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Sighs thoughtfully* I want to tell you something.
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Nods, not feeling good*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
I... Don't want to marry you.
Chand Narayan (FL)
J-ji?
"Y-Yes?"
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
I don't want to marry you, Miss Chand.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
It's not that you're not an amazing person, because you are.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
You're beautiful, and kind.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
But I just don't feel that connection, that spark that I think is essential for a successful marriage.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
I don't want to settle for something that doesn't feel right, and I don't want to hold you back from finding someone who truly loves and appreciates you.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
So, I'm sorry. I'll make sure to inform our families about our decision.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
It's only fair that they know, okay? *Get up from the seat*
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Looks at his retreating figure* Mrityunjay...
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Stops at his treck*
Chand Narayan (FL)
Mrityunjay ji, you've made your feelings clear, but what about mine?
Chand Narayan (FL)
Don't my thoughts and feelings matter in this decision?
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Turned back*
Chand Narayan (FL)
I remember when my brother first mentioned your name, I felt this tiny spark within me.
Chand Narayan (FL)
At the time, I thought it was just a childish infatuation, but every time my brother spoke about you, that spark grew stronger.
Chand Narayan (FL)
*Playing with fingers* ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Chand Narayan (FL)
Even without knowing what you looked like, there was something about you that captivated me, something that drew me in and made me want to know more.
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
*Swallowed, can't think when someone praises/think highly of him*
Mrityunjay Chandravanshi (ML)
Chand Narayan (FL)
And when I saw you for the first time on the news, it took my breath away.
Chand Narayan (FL)
You were so confident, so charismatic... I couldn't look away.
Chand Narayan (FL)
And then, when my father told me that a marriage proposal had come from the Chandravanshi family, I felt like my heart was going to burst.
Chand Narayan (FL)
I couldn't believe that I might actually get the chance to meet you, to know you.
Chand Narayan (FL)
When I caught my first glimpse of you in person, peeking through the curtain, my heart skipped a beat.
Chand Narayan (FL)
It literally flipped.
Chand Narayan (FL)
I felt like I'd forgotten how to breathe, how to think.
Chand Narayan (FL)
Everything around me melted away, and all that was left was you.
Chand Narayan (FL)
Your face, your eyes... they held me captive, and I couldn't look away and felt like I was home.
