章節 23: Magic of love...

An amused smile etched on Ethan's lips, getting to know about her love for the most unobvious things. But what made his smile wider was a certain word.

"So you're a romantic person also?" Ivan asked with keen interest.

Katherine squinted her eyes and asserted in a playful voice, "I think it's my turn to ask you a question now. We're playing twenty twenty.. Remember! So tell me what's your hobby except gardening?"

Ethan was rendered speechless for a second as it was the first time for him to bump with a girl who had the audacity to ignore his question and instead demanding him an answer from him with another question of hers.

It really amazed him!

Not only this, but every other small things related to her made her more interesting in his eyes.

Her love for gardening and swing… her fondness of reading book in her balcony, feeling the freshness of nature.. Her way of dressing and make-up… her interest in baking… her being an independent lady… every single thing amazed him..

He was not only wonderstruck with her deluging beauty but also the way of her carrying herself so smartly and speaking her heart out without a care of the world, astonished him to the fullest..

Normally, girls put special attention on dolling themselves up and tried to restrict their etiquette in front of others. They more or less tried to look like a perfect lady with sophisticated manners and other good qualities..

But here, Katherine was totally different from them. She had a carefree aura on herself but knew where to look intimidate. Her nature was polite but not too much restricted.

It made him more attracted towards her..

"Impressive..!!!" This was the only word that came into his mind.

He was still lost in his own thoughts, when Katherine's tender voice brought him back to his sense.

"Ethan, are you fine?" Katherine asked a little worriedly, not getting any response from him even after waiting for few minutes.

"Uhmm.. Yeah! I'm completely fine. So… Where we were? Yeah, my hobby… right? Then let me tell you about what I like the most when I'm completely free of workload and office pressure..

Well, I love to play video games with my friends. Basketball is my favourite pass time in outdoor games. When I'm in lots of pressure, exercise and gym work like a stress reliever for me.

I also do photography and go hiking with my friends. I'm a boring kind of person, you can say.." Ethan chanted everything in a breath while shrugging his shoulders at the last statement..

Sighing at his own hobbies, Ethan averted his eyes to Elysia, already knowing about her thoughts regarding him.

But when he looked at her, instead of finding any kind of bored expression, he found her staring at him with amusement dancing in her eyes.

"No… You're not.." A whisper slid out of her mouth when she saw him staring at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"Sorry?" Ethan asked, being completely puzzled about both her words and reaction.

Katherine's eyes sparkle in pure astonishment as she said excitedly, "You are not a boring person. In fact, I find you more interesting than me. I mean, my hobbies are so simple and basic like baking, gardening, reading novels… But you're a totally different person when you talk about your hobbies..

You know basketball which I wanted to learn from so many days but couldn't. You love photography which is such an amazing talent only few people can have. Most importantly, you like hiking! Just imagine conquering the whole world by travelling with your friends or partner is like such a big achievement..

Truthfully, I'm getting jealous over you. You're so amazing in every aspect. And let's not even talk about your hobbies. It impressed me so much that I've already started dreaming myself in your place… Like doing adventures, playing basketball, having a good eye of a perfect angle for photography. It's just like a big WOW!"

If Ethan was amused until few seconds ago then he was completely shell shocked now. He didn't know what to call this feeling, but he was feeling very good hearing the girl sitting in front of him and blabbering out few praises for him..

His lips now were stretched into a wide smile as he muttered while beaming brightly, "It's the first time for me to meet a girl who thinks my hobbies as interesting. But let me clear one wrong conception of yours also..

You are also not boring. Your hobbies are as refreshing as mine. I seldom see any girl who has more interest in these small yet the most encouraging stuffs. In fact, I liked every single idea of yours on loving your own passion irrespective of the changes in the new generation people."

Katherine's eyes now had a hint of delight in them. Her cheeks were tinted with a red hue, making her look more adorable. Her heart was screaming out tons of appreciation for the man in front of her, which was so surreal to be true..

She was feeling good, in fact very good from inside!

"So will you now tell me anything about you being a romantic person or not?" Ethan asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her in a playful manner.

Breaking out of the trance, she smiled and replied, "Yes.. I'm a huge romantic fool. I adore everything that's related to love. Even the idea of being in love with someone entices me a lot.

I just can imagine myself, sitting in the arms of my husband, resting my head on his shoulder and listening to a sinfully romantic music while having few random chats with him. It'll be such a perfect date for us, right under the vast sea of stars and surrounded by the beautiful mother nature.."

Her expression was showing a different kind of tranquility that one could only have when they were in lost in some divine thoughts.

The beautiful face of hers was glimmering with an enchanting glow while her hazel orbs were twinkling brightly like a star in the darkest night..

She indeed believed in the magic of love!

Her each word rang into Ethan's ears like a soothing music. The more he was seeing her, the more he was getting enticed by her!

"Why have you come to a blind date with me then?"
