22.
She squinted her eyes because of the sunlight falling on her face and covered her face with a pillow. She opened her eyes and looked at the alarm which showed 8:00 Am.
"Ahhh why do I have to get up?" She uttered. She got up and sat on her bed rubbing her eyes. That's when the bathroom door opened and Reyansh came in only with a towel in his lower part and another towel in his hand from which he was drying his hair.
She was gawking at him. With his perfectly tanned skin with 6 packs he was looking hot. Her eyes went towards his arms; they looked muscular but not too much more than at his veiny hands. He looked like some Greek God. Arya's eyes left open. "khubsurat" left her mouth without her knowing.
"Ohh really..?" He asked, looking at her from the mirror. That's when she noticed that she had said it aloud. She looked at him who had a slight smirk on his lips she blushed. She got up from the bed and ran towards the washroom.
"yes really" She said and shut the door.
"Khubsurat? Am I lookingat her? Not handsome, not any other word but..khubsurat?" He shook his head and Got ready in his formal clothes.
Many girls had crushed over him in his college days and now also and said him handsome, hot and so much more but not anyone had said him Khubsurat.
He sat on the bed with his laptop and started working.
Arya came out wearing a yellow Anarkali suit with minimal makeup and her hairs were wet. She started drying her hair with a dryer unaware of the fact someone's eyes were seeing her every action.
He put his laptop aside and started walking towards her. He stopped when they were inches apart.
She stopped her actions and looked at him in the mirror.
"Mr shekh..."
"Shhh" He whispered and started zipping her dress from behind all while making eye contact his fingers accidentally touched the bare skin on his neck sending an electrical sensation to their bodies she closed her eyes at the sensation.
He turned her toward himself; there was no gap between them, their bodies almost touching. Her eyes were still closed.
'How can someone look so pure and innocent?' He thought.
"Open your eyes Mrs. Shekhawat" He leaned toward her and said. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.
He was looking at her with an intense gaze. She looked downward, not able to handle his gaze. He held his chin by her finger and made her look at him.
He just wanted to give her everything she wished for. He wanted to pour her with all love, care and affection but couldn't. He is afraid. Afraid of love, afraid of what if he hurt her or if she hurt him.
His mind is saying to stay away from her but his heart, his heart always feels something when he sees her. She gives him a positive vibe. Her brown eyes whenever he sees them he feels like there is a whole galaxy in them.
Her bright smile makes her day bright.
She had her chubby cheeks he wanted to pull them and her soft pink lips he wanted to taste them and there he lost his control he leaned in to kiss her. His heart wins over his mind.
She saw him leaning in and closed her eyes to feel the moment. They were about to kiss when the door opened with a bang and came in Reva.
"Sorry sorry I didn't see anything" she said dramatically looking at the other side.
They both regain their posture and stand there. She looked at us with a smirk.
"Reva don't you know you should knock before entering in someone's room" Reyansh said and raised his eyebrow.
"Sorry bhai" She said.
"Why are you here?"
"Maa is calling both of you for breakfast" She said and left not before giving them a teasing smile and saying.
"Lock the door next time"
As Reva left They looked at each other. And then Reyansh thought 'What was I going to do? What have you done to me Mrs. shekhawat?'
While Arya's thoughts were just the opposite 'Are we going to kiss? yes yes, he was going to kiss me. But wait...why am I thinking like this? it's not like I was craving his touch. I was not right!...right?
'But what if Reva hadn't come?' They both thought.
"You go I will just come" He said and Arya nodded.
She came downstairs and saw everyone sitting at the dining table. She went towards them and sat there after saying good morning to everyone.
"Arya beta, why are you late today? You probably come downstairs around 9:00 and today at 9:30 are you fine?" Maa asked.
"Yes Maa, just a slight headache" She lied and looked at Reva who had a smirk on her face like something was going to happen and here comes.
"Bhabhi why your face is so red like a tomato" She uttered and everyone looked at her and she was feeling embarrassed.
'What is my face red? I was blushing. no no no. what should I say please God help me' She thought.
"Vo..." She shuttered but like luck was on her side.
"Maa" Reyansh said, diverting everyone's attention and sitting on the chair beside her.
She looked at Reva whose smirk fell.
"One of my clients is coming home today for dinner," he said. They both looked at him.
"Which client beta?" This time Arjun spoke.
"Yes, which client is coming Reyansh?" Vihaan also asked.
"Mr Sathvik Kakkar" He replied and Arya choked on her food.
"Are you fine?" Reyansh was the first to ask. She was coughing badly. Reyansh got her a glass of water and she drank it.
Yes, Reyansh's client Sathvik. That night after They went into the hall.
"Thank you for Joining us on this beautiful night. As you all know why this party is held but there is also something important to announce. firstly coming to the deal I have decided about whom to give that deal" he sighed and murmurs filled around.
"Mr.Reyansh can you please come on stage" Mr K.K said and he went.
"I am so impressed by your work. The way you present your work is the best. I have decided to give this deal to you. I hope you will not disappoint me either" He said looking at Reyansh.
"It's not only my work. My whole team worked on this and gave their best and we will give our best also" Reyansh said and Mr K.K Smiled.
"So I'm going to give this deal to Shekhawat Corporations. A big round of applause for Mr.Reyansh Shekhawat" Mr k.k said. There was a shine in Reyansh's eyes, the shine of another victory.
While Arya who was standing with Vihaan downstairs looked at her husband with so much appreciation. she forgot all her pain when she saw a smile on his face. He looked enchanting.
After signing the deal he makes his way towards Vihaan and Arya.
"Congrats bro" Vihaan congratulated him and hugged him. He looked at her.
"Congratulations" She said to her. His lips curved into a smile.
"See I told you, you will get it" She said and he smiled remembering the time she said that.
"Your prediction was right Mrs. Shekhawat" He Said looking into her eyes she smiled.
They were lost in each other. when surrounding whispers became loud and they came back to reality.
Reyansh's face went back to that cold one and he stood straight.
"And the special announcement is.. " Mr Kakar paused.
"My beloved son Sathvik Kakar is taking over the company so he will be working in this deal with you Mr Reyansh" He completed looking at Reyansh.
Arya, who was standing there happily, all her fears came back after hearing his name. It was like she was fine until she was with Reyansh, like He was her safe place. She feels safe when he is around.
It's not like things are good between them. There is going to be a month to their wedding but there is very little progress in them. They talk a little now, not like starting days not talking at all.
She feels happy just by seeing him. Her heart flutters when he sees her. There is not love but respect in his eyes but she feels like she is on cloud nine. Whenever she sees him she gets lost in him. Her heart skips a beat when she sees him smiling. She sees him with so much love....love?
Maybe..
but just a mere thought ofSathvik being around him was not helping at all, what if he told him everything. What if he hated her and left her. What would she do? What if he didn't trust her?
Flashback ends
She was still in her thoughts when someone called her. She came back to reality and saw Reyansh looking at her for an answer...Answer?
"Mrs shekhawat.."
"Huh..?"
"Are you fine?" Reyansh asks again.
"Hmm I'll go and take some rest" She said getting up from the chair"
“I will take you to your room," Reva said. Arya was not in the mood to argue so she nodded.
They make their way towards Arya's room.
"What happened to her? Why is she behaving so strangely since she came down? Did something happen at the party" Avni said, looking at her disappearing figure then at Him.
He shrugged his shoulders but concern took over him.
'Is it because of that moment?' He thought.
