A Little Sneak peak from O Maahi's next chapter
Aira turned, arms crossed, but her face was soft. More wounded than confrontational.
"That 'what if i date Arjun' question, you didn't like it?"
Ranveer blinked, a slow smirk appearing on his face — the kind that didn't quite reach his eyes.
"Didn't know it was a real question," he said lightly, but there was an edge there, buried beneath the casual tone. "Sounded like a line thrown just to tease me"
Aira didn't smile. "Maybe it was. Maybe it was not. Did you like the idea or not?"
She looked up at him now, eyes searching his.
Ranveer's jaw flexed. He tilted his head slightly, gaze dropping to her crossed arms, then back to her face. He swallowed, really hard. The idea of Aira with Arjun was eating him whole, but he was trying hard to keep his professionalism intact.
"Do you like the idea Aira?", He asked, his eyes turning slightly red.
She hadn't expected that look — not from him. Not the red in his eyes, the tightness in his voice. For a second, all her teasing, all her testing felt like too much.
Ranveer's voice softened again. "What do you want to hear, Aira?"
"I don't..." she faltered, glancing away like his gaze had peeled her open. "It's not about me."
"Oh, it's very much about you." His reply was quiet. Measured. "Think about it."
Then he turned to go back inside.
