This is short and i tried a different style, it's my romantic take on the dupatta scene!!
I saw him throw the dupatta and I watched closely waiting for it to land on Lavanya's head. But then I saw it fly towards me. I could have stepped aside or moved back, so the dupatta wouldn't land on me..Actually I even tried but it felt like some higher power was keeping me glued to that position on the ground.
Next thing I knew the pink dupatta was on my head. I recalled my mother's words and the significance of this occurrence. I was too shocked to believe that it could mean something like this for me. Me and Arnav ji'nahi Devi mayya, yeh kaisay hosakta hai? (no Devi Mayya, how can this be?) I was here to make the family accept his and Lavanya's relationship and get the two together forever, I didn't fit in anywhere in their equation.
I stood there lost in my own thoughts observing Arnav ji exit the room from the side through the transparent dupatta. I was too lost in another world to even think to remove the dupatta from my head. I stared at Arnav ji's receding form. And then he turned around and looked at me. His gaze was soo intense that I could feel him looking into the depth of my own eyes and gazing into my soul..possibly discovering the deep desires and secrets that even I was unaware of at the moment.
He kept looking at me intently and started walking closer, I lowered my gaze to his feet and saw as his footsteps came near. And then he was just a step away from me and I hesitantly looked up into his eyes. My heart was racing and I was finding it difficult to breathe as the smell of his cologne was intoxicating to my senses.
Next thing I knew he moved his hands lower to pick up the ends of the dupatta and he lifted it from my face and set it gently on my head, pulling a loose strand of my hair behind my ear in the process. I started to look down nervous and unsure of what I should be doing. Then he lifted my chin up with his fingers.
Arnav: Khushi, meri taraf dekho. (Khushi look at me)
I looked up curious to know what he would do or say next.
Arnav: Ab apni aankhein band karo. (Close your eyes)
In my head I am thinking.."Hai Devi Mayya, kabhi meri taraf dekho, kabhi aankehin band karo!! Pata nahi yeh laad governor kya karne wala hai. (Oh God, sometimes look at me, sometime close you eyes, I don't know what is on this laad governor's mind)
My mind was telling me not to, but I followed my heart and did as he said.
As I closed my eyes I felt his fingers at the corner of the eyelid.
I opened my eyes and saw the black kajal on his finger tip.
Next he took his finger and placed a nazar ka tikka on my chin near my ear.
Then he came closer and whispered in my ear.
Arnav: Kahin tumhay meri nazar na lag jaye. (Hope you don't get the evil eye from me)
I looked up into his eyes and he smiled his signature small smile. Before I could react he was walking away and I was left shocked, not really believing what my ears had heard.
And then I looked back once again seeing his retreating form, and once again he turned and stared and his eyes spoke volumes as if he was saying' "Bas thora aur intezar ek na ek din toh tumhay mere naam ka hi dupatta ore ke meri dulhan banna hai"! (Just a little more wait, one day you will wear a dupatta in my name and become my bride!)
