Chap 17 You look lovely tonight !!

A perfect evening moved gradually towards a cool, peaceful night. The drive back home was a pleasant one, Vrinda falling asleep in the back seat, exhausted after an active day. Both Arun and Ghazal drove in silence, when Ghazal asked him about his call to Mihir. Arun simply nodded in affirmation, not giving any particular reason for it. Ghazal thought it better to let the matter rest. She simply closed her eyes and let the soft music playing in the car, seep into her. She loved good music especially the soft romantic oldies. Music always brought back memories of those lovely moments, she had spent with Vaibhav. But that day, she just relaxed and felt totally at peace with herself, just losing herself in the wonderful music and lovely voice of her favorite singer.
           As they reached home, Arun carried Vrinda in his arms inside and after removing her shoes and making her comfortable, he turned towards Ghazal and first time in the evening, he spoke to her directly
“ You’re looking lovely tonight, even more beautiful than you always look.” He said with a smile on his face and looking directly in her eyes. Surprised at his open compliment, she blushed and not able to hold his gaze, looked down . Arun wished her “Good Night”, and left the room, closing the door after him. It was as if life was bringing her one surprise after another, thankfully all of them pleasant ones.
                         She changed into a comfortable night dress and was about to lie down, when her cell received a message. It was Samar’s message: “Miss you so much Toku Hope you are fine… How’s Vrinda?”
She smiled and quickly typed, “Yup Chiku I’m fine and Vrinda too . Miss you too .. I’ll call you tomorrow ok. Just came home after dinner. How are you?”
Quick came the reply, “I’m good ..how was your day.. you enjoyed na? Hope everything is fine there. Kuchi is happy na?”
“Yes shonu everything is fine, don’t worry .. Let’s sleep now..You have to get up early for your classes. Give me a missed call after you are free from your classes. Ok ! Sleep Well Sweet Dreams…tkcr M u L u.” She replied, feeling guilty for not messaging her sweet friend even once in the entire day.
Their friendship had grown stronger with each passing day, a self-less friendship, just lots of love and caring for each other, without any undue demands and absolutely no misunderstandings . They understood each other perfectly.
"Sleep well Kuchi ..Sweet dreams tkcr m u l u too . Cyaa ..yup I'll give you a miss call after coming  home from classes."
Their day always started with a" good morning message" and ended with a "good night message".
