Chapter 258

She tried to get away from his hold but it seemed like huge task. The timing was perfect as the song ended and she tried to walk away but he was holding her left hand with his and looked at her with the same expression he had earlier. He looked absolutely charming which made it more difficult for her to say anything. She cooked up some energy and in a gentle voice said, "I am gonna go power my nose". He nodded and walked right behind her and walked over to the table while she walked into the restroom. He looked around to see what was happening and he saw Carissa and Pryag walking over to the table with their plates. They had picked up some extra food for the both of them as the line was quiet long.

Before Akshar could say anything Carissa said, "The food is good and so is the line to get to it. Go ahead. Help yourself. We got plenty." And turning around she asked "Where is Diya?". Pryag looked at Akshar and said, "Thank you very much. Diya loves to dance. But I have to take things slow. I can't stay out long and I need to keep things simple and as normal as possible. I have been feeling guilty that I haven't been able to take her out anywhere. Thank you very much for today. I am pretty sure she had a great time." Akshar smiled and said "Anytime. I hope you feel better soon. Take good care of your health and you can dance with her on the floor pretty soon."

Akshar excused himself to get a drink and walked over to the bar. It didn't take long to get his drink and he turned around to walk over to the table. He noticed that Diya was still not there. It had been about ten minutes and she was still not there. He remembered her face on the dance floor just before she had walked over. He had wanted to say that she looked absolutely wonderful but she had excused herself and walked away. Now is neither the right time nor the right place to say it and he knew that very well. He had struggled hard to keep the conversation more generic earlier on the floor. With Pryag thanking him he even felt bad about the way he was feeling and finished his drink in a gulp and turned around and walked over to the bar to get another.
