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.
Kiara Mehra
👀
Kiara Mehra
You...
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.
