Chapter 256

The tempo on the dance floor had changed and it was playing Macarena. They joined the other dancers and continued with the rhythm and the lights dazzled across the floor giving a dramatic effect. In the mean time the waiters were heating up the food in the buffet that was neatly arranged at the other end. People had already started to form a line and Pryag asked Carissa if she would like to join the line and both of them walked towards the end of the line, which by the time they reached had extended to the other end jut a few feet from the bar were eyes started preying at her as if an eagle had marked its target and was waiting for the right time. Pryag and Carissa were deeply engaged in a conversation neither of them noticed the soaring eagles around them nor did they notice the dance floor.

After a couple of songs it turned into a melodious tune with romantic lyrics while the lights dimmed all over the room just letting the Chinese style lantern candles that were lit on each table to bring in the romance in the hearts of everyone that were seated. There were recess lights just above the buffet giving enough light for everyone to look at their food yet providing a soothing surrounding for a nice meal and a pleasant conversation. The food looked delicious and the aroma triggered ever ones appetite and it was evident as the line was moving very slow.

Akshar took Diya in his arms gently gliding his left arm onto her waist with his right arm holding her left as her right clinging on to his back and they glided gently on the dance floor along with the others. Slowly the song changed into an even more slower and melodious and he changed his hold on her arms and held her with both his arms at her waist. She glided her hands across his shoulders and around his neck they beautifully danced to the melody of the song that was playing, sung by Barbara Streisand. The light was so dim they could hardly look at each other; she looked over his shoulders as he held her in his arms. In order to break the silence he told her that she was a good dancer. She turned around and looked at him and their eyes interlocked in each others.
