Must Read: The Silent Lover - Season 1 - Episode 24

Her dark brown hair was combed after she came out of the shower and right now was dried and falling about her face. Her thin, slim frame was wrapped in a loose bathrobe.
She could see her reflection in the dining room mirror and she was pleased by what she saw.
As Komal brushed her hair, she smiled at her expression in the mirror, giving herself a critical look.
She had two black moles–beauty marks–on her face: one on her cheek and one on the side of her chin. Those were the marks she had always been proud of. They made her even more distinguish and feminine.
She brushed her hair back from her eyes.
Her freshly washed hair smelled wonderful as the aroma of her shampoo settled around them.
What anyone would notice first about her, however, were her eyes.

They were soft brown and seemed almost too large for her face. Her eyelashes were unusually long, and her generously full lips seemed always to be wet, to have sheen to them.

Her smoky, startingly brown eyes had a warm provocative look to them.
“What to wear tonight?” She asked herself, looking around for what she hoped would be something to really ‘wow’ him at their mutual date tonight.

The long sleeved shirt-like dress she finally pulled out was made out of a silky material, sky blue in color. It was one of the most flattering dresses she owned, its light color, a complement to her dark brown hair.
She wore only a little makeup tonight although she didn’t even need that. Just a little blush on, just a hint of pink showing through the velvety skin of her cheekbones and brown lipstick made her full, pouting lips more prominent.
She was givig herself a final, observatory look when the doorbell rang and she felt her heart begin hammering loudly. Quickly, but swiftly she reachd out to open the main door.

As Komal opened the door and smiled down at him, Aariz forgot to take breath.
He was truly struck by the stunning beauty of Komal.
He had seen her irresistible charm and attraction, but never had he imagine that she would be so breath-takingly beautiful, charming and magnetic. Aariz was totally spellbound by the enchanting beauty of Komal today.
His black eyes warmed as they swept over her, and the familiar grooves dented his cheeks when he smiled.
“Hi, beautiful.” Dark eyes crinkled at the corners, when he was able to speak finally.
Komal’s heart started to race, as she blushed a bright red. She felt a little foolish, all these feelings, she felt like she was back in high school.
She surveyed the tall, handsome man standing before her, silent appreciation in her eyes.
He was clean and the scent of his cologne was crispy masculine. Her wide brown eyes gazed downward over his broad shoulders and mascular chest, all encased in an impeccably tailored dark grey suit.
“Hi, good looking!” She giggled, brushing her soft, luxurious mane of hair carelessly with her left hand. “Shall we go now?”
In answer, he just motioned her towards his car, his eyes never leaving her for a single second.
As they walked to his car,.she was concious of Aariz’s approving glance swerping over her. He had leaned across the seat and opened the passenger door for her so she could climb right in beside him.

They left for their favorite hotel. He said no more and neither did she, aware of him eyeing her speculatively as they drove the short distance to the hotel.

The porter welcomed them with a smile and nod of his head. Aariz stepped back to let her precede him into the hotel’s restuarant. The restuarant was full when they entered it, and Komal saw two young women eye Aariz with evident interest. Seeing him through their eyes she had to concede he was worth looking at, his dark suit a foil fir, his black hair, s£nsu@l curve of his mouth.
She followed him to their usual table by the wall and sat down, avoiding his daring eyes as he took the seat opposite.

The headwaiter was there to greet them. “What do you recommend tonight, sir?”
“Ask madam,” Aariz waved his hand towards Komal.
“Well”, Komal thought for a moment. She tipped her head one side, a heavy mass of hair spilling over one shoulder. “Anything special in your menu tonight?”
“Madam we’ve excellent ‘Chicken Karhaai’, and ‘Mutton Sajji’ flown in from Quetta today. Grilled with butter, they can’t be improved on.” The waiter told her obediently.
“Sounds great.” Before she could speak, Aariz interrupted. “Sajji Okay for you, Komal?”
“Umm, I’d prefer something lighter.”
She replied, as she fluffed out her long dark brown hair.
“Alright. Bring Sindhu Biryani and Chicken Karhaai with Afgan Naan and soft drinks.” Aariz told him finally.
Nodding his head, the waiter stepped back.
“Do you think it’s light?” She asked, amazed.
“What?”
“The menu you ordered. It’s pretty heavy I think, specially for me.”
“Oh.” He laughed huskily. “Well dear, as long as you’re in Pakistan, do enjoy it’s food to the fullest. You won’t get much chances afterwards.”
She smiled but said nothing.
For a long moment, none of them said anything.
“So how was your day today?” She asked finally, breaking the thick silence.
He didn’t reply. Instead, she saw Aariz was continously looking around them. Here and there, his eyes were everywhere but on her.
She waited, as if he would finally speak to her but his eyes didn’t turn toward her.
She felt confused and frustrated.
“Aariz,” She said sharply, when she couldn’t take it anymore. “I can see we have a real problem here. You’ll have to learn to speak when you’re spoken to. I’m not used to people ignoring me when I talk.”
He turned back toward her slowly and laughed softly.
“I was actually enjoying seeing the way people look at you.” He said.
“Well,” Komal stared, then stopped and tried again. “What do you mean the way people look at me?”
“You’re the centre of everyone’s attention and attraction right now.”
He told her proudly. “And I’m proud of the fact that I’m with the most beautiful lady.”
She looked into his face and she knew his words were true.
“You praise too much.”
She said with artificial anger.
“I won’t argue with you anyway.” He sighed.
“You better not, as a woman has the last word in any argument ” She grinned, winking delicately at him.
“And anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.” He gave his own point of view. Smiling back at her in the same manner.
She couldn’t keep the laughter inside.
“D….do you really think I’m pretty?”
“No…not really.” He paused to watch her wide brown eyes darken with sadness.
“I think you’re beautiful!”
She giggled again and fluttered her lashes demurely.
“So,” He took a long breath and bent toward her. “Last time you asked about me, now it’s your turn.”
“Turn for what?” She asked not getting him for a second.
“I want to know more about you.”
“Oh,” She sighed, the naturally red lips parted slightly, the deep brown eyes were half hidden beneath the smooth lids.
“I’m not much different from you when it comes to nature.
I’m a fun-loving person too. Outgoing, career oriented. I want to be a lawyer.” As she told him, he noted that her eyes had some special interest and ambition in them.
“I am appying for barrsiter ship and would do masters in law.” She added with confidence.
“Wow.” He exclaimed, looking clearly impressed. “Career women have always been my ideal. I’m always pleased when a woman achieves success, especially in a field too often dominated by men with inferior talents.” He gave his personal opinion.

Throughout dinner, she chatted about her background, her aims about becoming a sucessful lawyer.
He loved listening to her low, edgy voice as she spoke of her job, her ambitions, her family and her hopes for the future. For just a second, he wished he did know a woman with a voice like that. Could spend an evening listening to that laugh, sharing a dinner and memorable moments.

It was only in the end when he came to the point, and this was the moment, for which both of them had waited for so long.
“Komal…..” His tone changed suddenly, his voice a mere whisper, intense with emotion.
“I want to tell you something really important.” His eyes looked deep into hers, and then moved over her whole being slowly.
