Chapter 236

She had been completely lost in thoughts she had not realized how long she had been stuck in traffic and finally the traffic cleared and she was on the move. She looked at her ring and smiled to herself and within minutes her phone rang. She picked it up with a smile and as she had expected, it was Pryag, calling to make sure she was doing fine and wondering when she would be back. She wanted to tell him what had happened but decided not to over the phone and hung up on him saying that she will be home soon and that she was on her way. Pryag was happy to hear that she had a nice time and cautioned her that the crowd was still hanging around. She laughed and thanked him for warning her and assured that she will do fine.

She smiled, thinking how sweet Pryag was and how nice of him to check on her and to warn her about the environment. She was quiet pleased by his remarks. It didn't take much time to get to his house once the traffic eased up and she parked a little further and walked over to his house. Her eyes shone bright in the street light, as if the stars were rejoicing the sunset. As she walked her earrings dangled up and down just as a dog would jump up and down upon seeing its master. Fragrance from her perfume left an aroma on the path she walked by, giving a sensation of freshly bloomed night queens and jasmines. Such was the happiness and joy that radiated from her that seemed contagious to anything and everything on the way.

The door was not closed and she walked right in and her eyes searched for Pryag in the crowd. She smiled a couple of folks out there but there was no sign of Chari or Pryag. The buffet was out there and she could see everyone was busy helping themselves and busy chatting with each other. She walked in and took her shoes off and approached the shoe closet to leave them in and she heard Pryag's voice behind her. He asked her if she had a great time again and even before she answered he knew the answer by looking at her eyes. She walked with him and started talking to him about Sara and how wonderful it was to meet her and indicated that she would like to freshen up before dinner and walked upstairs to the room and he followed her since she kept talking. Once they were alone she kissed him on his lips and walked into the bathroom and continued to wash her face and continued talking.
