"You don't need such clothes, you are looking...ravishing...in this simple lehenga also."
The shirt slipped from her hand after hearing him.

She turned her gaze somewhere else unable to stand his piercing eyes.
"Stop blushing....." Viraj said to tease her.
" I..I'm not blushing, Why would...why would I blush?" she stammered annoyingly.
"Why are you getting nervous?.relax."
"I'm not blushing and nervous, stop teasing me Viraj." Aarvi left the place to avoid his playful behavior.
"Aarvi...listen." he followed her to the living room.
"Stop this nonsense Viraj."
"Ok...I was just...." Viraj stopped hearing calling bell sound.
"One minute..." he went to open the door.
He came back with a bag in his hand.
"Here...." he extended the bag towards her.
Aarvi looked at him like 'what is this?'.
"Some dresses for you..."
She stood looking at the bag after taking it quietly.
"Go and get change." Viraj suggested.
"I'll pay for it later." she went to the room taking the bag.
"What?" Viraj looked at her amazed.

Ananya was pacing here and there in her room nervously.
"Ananya...." Nayan entered the room.
"What happened?..why did you call me urgently?" Nayan asked.
"Bhai...Aarvi di...Viraj..." she said stammering.
"What are you trying to say?...I can't understand, say it clearly."
"I got a call from Viraj." she said signing.
"When?" he asked with a shocked expression.
"The day before engagement..."
"The day before engagement?...."
"Hmm...and I...I told him...about the engagement ceremony."
"What?....Why did you tell him that?"
"We wanted to stop the ceremony but we couldn't so I thought if I tell him...he will definitely do something to stop it but...I didn't think he will kidnap her like this."
"We could have found some other solution...see what he has done now..."
Ananya regretted.

Aarvi took shower and came in the kitchen wearing a simple knee length sack dress.
She poured some water into the glass and started drinking it. Her wandering eyes went to the garden area ( outside the cottage ) where Viraj was working out.
She drank water while watching him lifting weights, her eyes lingered on his upper bare body, his six pack abs, his broad chest and shoulders and finally met his smirking eyes that were staring at her.
He caught her observing him.
