It was a tough evening for two young n. In the gym of the Morgan mansion, Arsh was racking his brain on how to make his first move.
Should he ask Noor out on a date? Or just confess without much fuss? Or ask his family to arrange the marriage?
He didn't like the last option even though his family wouldn't mind doing it for him. If Noor was sobody who was social, open to date, he wouldn't have found it difficult. Noor was too simple. She will ask him hundreds of whys. If he doesn't give a proper response, she would patiently wait for him to gather his thoughts and respond.
Upon that, he also had a doubt she would outrightly reject him due to his cold behavior all the ti. With those complex questions and thoughts, he considered his father's straightforward but tough plan which actually suited Arsh's personality unlike making its extravaganza.
Even with that plan, Arsh didn't know how to let Noor know. If he dares to kiss her straight, Noor will slap him in the face and run away without turning back. He appreciated his father's boldness.
Thinking about Roxy and Rian, he admired Roxy for being so bold. The funny one he knew was Eva and Isaac. One is the author of many best-selling romance books and the other one is the romantic male lead in nurous movies and series. Yet their confession was humorous due to their fluster.
He rembered Rooney and his girlfriend. He couldn't believe they so easily started dating right after they realized they liked each other. They were no romantic couples but a friendly and fun couple.
He wouldn't mind being straightforward like his sister but Noor wasn't Ivan. He ca to the conclusion, falling in love is a natural course but making the other understand is tough.
Could he just wait for a few more days until the little woman of his matures more?
He shook his head to himself, it had already been many years, he felt it's ti he should let Noor know why he keeps her around him.
At last, he ca back to the sa question. When? How?
..
At another end, Ivan propped his head on his fist sitting in a cafe looking at Arna who was speaking about where they should go next ti for lunch.
Even he used to think about how he should let her know about his feelings and when would be an appropriate ti. Then he realized, the ti and the way to confession doesn't matter when you are with the right person.
"Snow..."
"Hmm..." Arna stopped her planning and beca all ears looking at his eyes which were fixed on hers. She was curious to know why he was looking at her that way.
Ivan sighed internally. He had missed this side of Arna Morgan too much. She always behaved reservedly and put on the air to hide her real feelings towards her family. Now that everything is clear she was back to the sa Snow, who used to bully him mischievously and giggle. The sa Snow who used to be passionate about what she does and also carefree around the known ones.
But he could sense sothing wasn't right. Is she forcing herself to be normal? This question worried him but didn't bring it up, to give her so more ti.
"Do you rember when you kissed the first ti?" He asked. They haven't actually kissed, he said about her kisses on his cheeks.
Instead of being shy, Arna recalled all the events and smiled, "Absolutely. You had blushed red like a tomato."
She chuckled rembering how wild she used to be. Now she isn't wild but yes, she is bold. She had learned to pursue what she likes, what she needs. Ivan was the one with whom she kept her whole patience until he could make his mind accept and reciprocate her feelings.
Even though sotis she felt like she was forcing herself on Ivan, the latter never turned her down but asked questions about her relationship with her family which used to keep her silent. Now he couldn't ask anything as such, so she is persistent.
And Arsh never told her she was doing wrong or making Ivan uncomfortable. Instead, Arsh always encourages her so she doesn't mind nagging Ivan all day.
"At the wedding of little mom and little dad. I was so cute, chubby, and naughty to see them kissing but you hugged to stop from looking at them."
Then she revealed the next one, "When I was drunk the first ti." It was also a cheek kiss.
Ivan didn't know she rembers it. And it was the first ti she actually confessed to him and he got to know both have the sa feelings for each other.
Snow took the nu card and hit on his head. Ivan didn't stop her and heard her words, "I was absent the next day to the school because I had rembered that I had confessed to you. I was afraid you might misunderstand or don't treat the sa if not well." Then Arsh had made her speak it. Then he had suggested that she should behave as though she doesn't rember anything.
Ivan pursed his lips, that day Arsh had asked him if Arna had confessed to him. After hearing Ivan, Arsh had patted his back and told him to get married to his sister soon, as Arsh had the hint Ivan likes Arna too.
Arna went on recalling each of the cheek kisses she gave him. Ivan was surprised because he had forgotten two or three. Arna went on without thinking if Ivan just sees her as a friend, why would he take such a topic.
Ivan silently waited for her to complete all the little stories of her kisses and it ended with the last kiss on his cheek when they had gone out on Sunday.
Looking at adult Arna smiling after recalling their little monts, he doubted if she was really happy when she won an award on the international stage. He had seen the video of her taking the award, gave a small speech, and got off the stage with a faint smile. It was like nothing could make her happy but her family, friends, and him.
"Arna Morgan," He called her full na which he rarely did.
"Huh?" She looked at him and teased, "I don't mind kissing you on your request."
Ivan shook his head in resignation. She is smart in everything except for one thing. She failed to catch the details of his behavior with her. He extended his hand and pinched her cheek looking at her mischievous eyes.
Arna eagerly waited for his words as he looked a little more serious and very attentive about her.
