Chapter 20 Someone Special
“We will see about that. Stop challenging me but you should be a little worried instead of smiling proudly because I think that living in India, you should only know how to perform Indian dance, not Waltz.” Eden said, trying to understand her thoughts.
“It’s your assumption about me. I will prove it wrong. I don’t want to worry, and you should also not worry about the dance.” Lavanya said, feeling relaxed.
“Why are you relaxed about this?”
She looked at him, raising her eyebrows, and said, “I am relaxed because I know how to perform a waltz. I don’t know why you’re not understanding this. If I am confidently saying that I will perform much better than you, then you should understand that I know everything about Waltz.”
“You know Waltz??” He asked in disbelief.
“Yes, I know how to perform a Waltz.” She said, smiling.
“Usually, girls say that they don’t know how to dance, especially when it comes to waltz.” He said with a smile.
“I think you watch lots of dramas. I am not like those girls. I know how to perform a Waltz.” She said confidently.
“How come living in India, you learned the Waltz and Why? I thought you only knew about Indian dance.” She laughed hearing this.
“There’s a very funny reason behind it. Promise me you’ll not laugh after knowing the reason.”She extended her hand in his direction. He placed his hand on hers and said, “I promise.”
“You know how girls have lots of dreams when it comes to their marriage. I have also dreamt about a perfect life where I will be successful in my career and will be happily getting married. I learned the Waltz so that I can give an amazing dance performance at my wedding with my husband.” She said and looked down.
“Really, but what would’ve happened if your husband didn’t know how to perform Waltz?” He asked, holding her hand.
“I didn’t think about it, but I don’t care now because you know how to perform a Waltz.” She said, smiling.
He moved closer to her. “Now you’re getting the chance to perform it with your husband.”
“You will be my husband when you will marry me and remember it’s not our wedding.”
“We will perform it again at our wedding as husband and wife because I will make my queen’s every dream come true.” He kissed the back of her hand.
“Queen?”
“Yes, You’re my queen. The queen of heart and my life. My beautiful would be wife.” He said and laughed. “I rhymed it so perfectly like writing a poem.”
She smiled and said, “Yes, you can be a great poet.”
“Thank you my love.”
“Do you want me to practice waltz with you for once?” She asked.
“Yes, just to assure that you will perform well.”
“Let’s go and practice then.” She said, standing from the sofa.
“We will practice it after dinner in my room.” He said, and she sat beside him again, and they talked about a few things which was a part of their daily lives. They both liked to share everything about their days with each other.
After the dinner, Lavanya went to Eden’s room with him for practice. He played waltz music on his phone and stood facing her. He held her right hand in his left hand and placed his right hand on her waist. She placed her left hand on his shoulder.
He moved his left foot forward, and she moved her right foot backward. Next, She moved her left foot forward, and he moved his right foot backward.
They slowly moved to the soft music and took a natural spin turn. He left her waist and twirled her gracefully. Soon, their practice came to an end as the music stopped. They smiled at each other, still holding each other’s hand.
“You really perform it well.” He complimented her.
“Thank you.”
They sat on the couch. He was continuously looking at Lavanya, so she asked him, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
“You’re growing more beautiful day by day.” He touched her cheek with the back of his hand to feel her soft skin.
“Maybe, it’s because of your love that you’re finding me more beautiful.” She looked into his deep black eyes.
“Don’t you find me handsome?” He asked with a smile.
“Ofcourse, you’re handsome. Very handsome that all the girls wants to be with you.” She said and smiled.
He held her hand. “I don’t care about other girls. I only care about you, and only you’re important for me in my life. No other girl can take your place in my life.”
“It’s hard to believe.” She said, taking a deep breath.
“What? My love for you is hard to believe.” He asked and She nodded. “It’s really hard to believe that someone can love me so much in this world.”
He cupped her face and said, “I will always love you.” He stood up from the couch. “We should sleep now. You must be tired.”
“Yes, I am tired.” She also stood up, hugged him and said, “Good night.”
She left his room and happily entered her room.

It was the day of the Annual Ball. Eden called some stylists to prepare Lavanya for the Ball. Amelia was also there. Lavanya was sitting in front of the mirror, wearing the gown, and the makeup artist was doing her makeup. The hairstylist curled her long brown, wavy hair in soft locks.
Eden knocked on the door. Amelia opened the door for him. He entered her room and stood behind her. Lavanya saw him in the mirror and thought, “He is handsome, but he will look more handsome in Indian outfits.”
She was also looking like a queen, ready to rule the world. He came beside her, and she smiled at him.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
He was holding a velvet box in his hands. He placed it on the dresser, opened it and took out something from that box. Lavanya’s smile disappeared when she saw the thing he was holding in his hands, as it reminded her of someone special.
