Love In The Air (Part 1)

It's been few seconds that the young one's left the couple alone! And after a brief second did Arshad notice the deep frown that settled on his wife's face! "What's that you are deeply disturbed by, love?!"

Rhys looked up at her husband, "Doesn't he seem familiar?!"

He was confused, "Who?"

"Aryan!"

Arshad's brows raised in surprise, so he wasn't the only one to feel that way!! "Somehow his name?"

Rhys gave him a slight nod being uncertain!

They both sighed in unison after exchanging a brief look, as their gaze now returned to their children! Rhys noticed that Deep was now assisting a young lady, to dance, while Arshad along with it, noticed that Tara again as usual kept rejecting Kenan! But this time seemed a bit interesting as now she chose someone else, well reason wasn't that of a purpose!

Soon both the couple were now interrupted with the guests greeting them, and later, lights were turned off after the very feminine voice, probably Deep's assistant, announced the beginning of the dance! And everyone including Mr&Mrs.Arshad's attention was dragged towards the dance floor!

***********

"I was hasty enough to not to ask you!! Can you dance?!"

Aryan's brows raised again, in somewhat of being amazed, "It's too late to ask now!!" he said with a smirk!!

Her eyes widened when he pulled her closer again, closer enough than she expected him to!

That was when few servants came upon the floor under the huge chandelier of candle lights, with trays holding in hands! And soon masks were provided for every individual who were present on the floor, in the mean time, couples and whomever had wanted to enjoy a dance joined the floor, taking the silk, shining thread designed masks!

Aarohi and Deep took one as well as they both again got positioned with their dance stance, while Aryan and Tara both took a mask for themselves, a mask which was with golden thread sewed in flowers and petals! Difference was that it was of black for him and white for her!

With everything her eyes were witnessing of him, Aryan looked like prince charming for Tara tonight! No, her eyes in no ways were betraying her, nor was he bewitching!

Aryan held out his hand bowing his head while his left hand was behind, she laughed at it before placing her left hand in his, he with a smile looked up!

"Let the dance begin!" a voice interrupted, particularly no one among them and he pulled her closer again when the lights were turned off, forcing her to rest her other hand on his left shoulder, while his left hand supported her back to stand! Eyes were fixed on each other! The candle light chandelier brought up the heavenliness of the party along with the candle lights that were lit by the tall standing rods! Soon soft tune started to play in the background!

"I was a second earlier, but you were late enough to suffer this!" Aryan smirked, while Tara didn't know what made him behave this way all of a sudden and that's when she realised that it was all her fault of questioning!

"Risk it to know!" he leaned closer to her ear, and his voice was low, a whisper, but with a power she couldn't define! She breathed and even before she could say anymore, his one leg parted hers, who was standing stiff, positioning her in a right way, but almost making her even more stiffened by the act, while her brows were raised which he probably couldn't see!

Even before she could protest, he began to move along with her, synchronising to the music, and she had to move along with the way he did, just so that she wouldn't be ending up falling! And soon their steps sinked in rhythm while a small curve lit up her lips!

It was when she mistook him for being slow and smooth, as he then paced up, completely letting her know the meaning of 'risk it!', and she had to move along with him helplessly!

"Arya..." even before she could protest again he cut her off, "Do not blame me!" he smirked! She shook her head!

To hell with the pace!

It was then that they both started to pace up equally, moving around fast yet making the dance look smooth, he swirled her twice in between, both the sides, before they started to dance again, her gown swirling in it's own way while it also shone! But he shone even brighter than her in the dark, with candles, all thanks to his fair skin and that suit!

They were in their own world, only caged up staring into each other's eyes, not minding the other dancers on the floor, and she was surprised when he after a swirl lifted her up, swirling her in air now before she landed again, she couldn't help but smile as they then continued to dance again while time felt at pause!

Now her smile wasn't just a smile, it was of a few giggles and laughs at times, and this time after one swirl, he held one hand with hers, while the other went behind just like she did, and he made her move in circles, while she couldn't stop her laugh anymore, and then a sudden pull, she was swirled again, only to fall off, in his arm, while he looked down her, his hazel eyes looking straight into hers!

Aryan raised his right hand above in a curve, as the end, while she was suffering for breath while still laughing, not so loud! And that was when she heard the crew praising, and clapping!

Tara breathed to calm herself while her smile still remained and she shook her head at herself with a chuckle, a moment after, he slowly helped her up who was till now feeling like to be in air while he held her firmly!

As he pulled her up, she got into his arms but not close yet, he could see she still was suffering for breath, and a smile took over his lips, "Do you regret it?!" he teased!

Tara shook her head with a chuckle, "This was the best!"

"You know what?"

He frowned, "What?"

"I am glad that you were a second earlier!"

Aryan chuckled, "And you know what?"

She tilted her head with a frown, "What?"

"You look exquisite!" he said now tugging a curl of her hair.

"And you are bewitching!!" she admitted!

"Were you then?!" he asked amazed, who was almost taken aback!

Tara leaned closer tiptoeing, reaching for his ear, "Who knows?" she whispered!

As she pulled herself away with a smile, lights were turned on, and that was when he released his hold around her, now holding only her hand, gently! They bowed together, clearly ending it before they got off the stage, the host praised them which they actually heard, a smile lit up their faces! When she looked around, she could see her uncle's gaze was fixed on her's, when their gaze met, he raised his glass of wine, cheering her! She smiled before she looked around again and that was when she noticed that Deep and his precious love were nowhere to be seen!

"Aren't you hungry?!" Aryan asked bringing her back to him!

She began to think but her rumbling stomach answered instead! They both chuckled, and decided to head towards the dining hall, taking off the masks! Probably most of the crew were now present there and a short while after, her uncle and aunt joined them as well!

"I could no longer distinguish who was the best dancer!" Rhys remarked!

Arshad laughed, "Perhaps both!"

Tara and Aryan smiled as they had their meal together, while they also waited for Deep to join but he didn't! Tara assured her aunt that he might be on something important and he would join shortly after! And by important she meant his future! A chuckle escaped her mouth as she thought about it!

After a while, they were finished. Tara held Aryan's hand gently with a frown as she noticed him to leave!

Aryan frowned, "Do you wanna follow me?"

Even before she could say something in return, he spoke again, "Trust me! No women is allowed there!!"

Tara rolling her eyes soon left her grip over his hand, and he chuckled, "Just be fast, we will be leaving!" she said and he gave an assuring nod before he left, and that was when Deep approached them while Aarohi came along as well!

"Where were you?" Rhys asked but her gaze was then fixed on the beauty beside!

Deep and Aarohi stared each other hesitantly!
