As they pulled into the parking lot, it was 10 minutes past the show time, so they had to rush inside. Arun had bought the tickets before-hand so all they had to do was find their seats in the dark. Reena was a bit taken aback to see that their seats were right in the last row corner. Moreover the hall was only partly filled as the current movie had been playing for the last 2 weeks and most people had already seen it. Only some die-hard Salman Khan fans were there and they were sitting in the middle. Nobody was sitting close to them. Luckily the theater had been playing ads till then.
The movie started as they sat down. Both of them remained focused on the movie for the next 5 minutes, not knowing what to say or do with each other. Then just before the situation could get too awkward, Arun took her hand in his and whispered in her ear, "Hi, I'm Arun. We are neighbors. I'm glad you accepted my invitation. I hope you find my company as enjoyable as I'm finding yours." Reena could only smile in return. Then just to show she was enjoying herself too she gently squeezed his hand. Arun brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. Reena blushed fiercely but liked it too. Both of them reverted to the movie but soon Arun whispered into Reena's ear "I have watched you drying your hair on the roof every Sunday. It’s fascinating, how long and shiny it is. May I touch it?" Reena nodded again. The next moment Arun's hands were around her bun, untying it and letting her hair fall free.
