JENNIFER'S POV

I turned to witness a girl in a blue gown smiling warmly at me. She was devastatingly beautiful!

If I was honey complexioned then she was fair as if touched by the snow flakes themselves. And on it, the peacock blue eyes behind the white rimless spectacles were altogetherly a deadly combination.

Her red lips were going well with her light-hued skin. Her skin was so milky that it looked like if you pinched, it shall turn red. As if that was not enough, the shimmery blue gown was totally matching her eye color.

I blurted out," You are undeniably the most beautiful girl I ever came across!"

Shit! Did I just made myself look stupid?

But her reply definitely left me blushing hard.

"Hmm, seems like someone stole my exact thoughts for you!" She chirped clapping her hands together. I let out a short laugh.

She came beside me and introduced herself,"Hi, I am Nayantara. But my near and dear ones call me Tara. You can too!" She said holding her hand in front of me.

Oh! She's the daughter of the chief minister!

I nervously returned the handshake,"Hello, I am Jennifer Mathews. Well... Jenny for you too." I said giving a polite smile.

She huffed. "Oh come on! I won't eat you up!" Tara exclaimed, throwing up her hands as if in despair. I laughed out loud. She had an extremely friendly nature who could quickly make friends, unlike me.

"Want some?" She asked me offering me a bowl full of jalebis. I had not at all noticed it by now.

Well, who was I to deny such a sweet and delicious and inviting offer? I quickly took two of them. She giggled at my love for the sweet dish.

The air out there was full with the aroma of mouth watering delicacies. Starting from appetizers to starters to main-course. And I was more than happy to find the dessert counter to have a lot many goodies! Whoa... Lucky Me.

We got seated at a side table. Except for the waiters arranging the tables and the chefs looking after the dinner preparations.

Rubbing her hands together, Tara beamed," So... Let's talk our hearts out!" I was overwhelmed by her humbleness and homely quotient which she emitted by her persona.

I too, completely at ease by now, leaned forward too, as if we were about to share our darkest secrets with one-another.
