His words really made my heart skip a beat I could feel the depth of his words.
"Am I that important to you?" I asked him.
"You don't know what you mean to me, Dhriti. You're everywhere in my soul, in my heart even in my brain, only you." He took my hands in his hands and brushed his lips on my knuckles.
Butterflies!
Thousands of Butterflies danced around in my belly.
"So what if I don't want you in my life? What will you do?" I asked him.
"I don't know what will I do, maybe I will live a lifeless life because you become the essence of my life, Dhriti. I don't need a life without you. No, even I will not live I will fucking di--" I keep my hand in his mouth.
"Don't say that. . ." I said.
"If you say I will not but if you leave me it will happen, my deat--"
"Don't say that word! Didn't you understand what I said?" I yelled.
"Okay Madam," he said bowing his head and I shook my head.
"Okay let's go to a place," he said holding my hand.
"Where?"
"Surprise?"
"Aarush, everyone will search for--"
"Shhh. . ." He hushed me.
"Let me close your eyes first. . ." He said and covered my eyes with his hands.
"Where are you taking me, Aarush?" I asked him as we were walking. God knows where.
"Be Patience, Babydoll." His warm breath caressed the skin on my ear.
"Okay, now open your eyes." He took his hands from my eyes. My eyes widened in awe. . .
"This is. . . Beautiful," I breathed.
We're standing at the highest point of the palace with wonderful hanging gardens with fountains, towers and terraces, offering one of the most magical views of Lake Pichola.
Oh God, this is so beautiful. As I said the brains of this architectural design should be appreciated.
"Did you like this place?" Aarush asked wrapping his hands around my waist from behind me and resting his chin on my shoulder.
"Yeah, it's so beautiful," I said.
"Hmm, I don't know why but this place seems more beautiful now. You're with me maybe that's why this place seems more beautiful to me." He said.
"Stop it," I said.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Stop your flirting," I said and looked at him only to see he was looking at me.
"What?" I asked him as he was staring at me without blinking his eyes.
"Nothing, I was just enjoying my beautiful view." He shrugged.
"You're enjoying this beautiful view by looking at me?" I asked.
"When I am in your presence, it is impossible for me to divert my attention elsewhere. You are the epitome of beauty, and I consider you to be the most captivating sight I have ever encountered, Babydoll." His voice is soft yet deep. Again my heart skipped a beat.
Oh God this man!
"Look like you're falling hard for me, it's not good for your heart's health Mr.Aarush Malhotra," I said to him with a smirk.
"Despite the potential harm to my heart, I will continue to deeply and passionately love you every moment of my existence." He said kissing my cheek.
"Even in every situation?" I asked him.
"Yes, in every situation. I will not give up on you, Babydoll." He assured me by pecking my lips. A smile made its way to, my lips. Now I believe that I can trust my new hope, his love for me.
"So--"
My phone rang when Aarush was going to say something.
"Just a second," I said to Aarush and attended the call.
"Ishaan?" As Ishaan's name came out of my mouth Aarush's whole expression changed.
"Where are you, Lily? You're okay, right?" His tensed-up voice comes from the other side of the phone.
"Yeah, I'm okay and I'm not alone, Aarush is with me," I said.
"Ohh!" He said in a teasing voice.
"Don't," I warned him.
"Anyways your brother will come soon before that come here if you don't want your Aarush to get killed." He said.
"My brother will not do such things," I remark.
"Don't underestimate the power of an overprotective brother of yours," He said.
"Okay fine, I'm coming." I hang up the call.
"Let's go before my brother finds us," I said grabbing his hand.
"Why are you standing like a statue? Let's go." I said when he didn't budge from his place.
"When are you going to say about us to your brother?" He asked.
"What's there to say about us to him?" I asked him instead of replying to his question.
"Oh yeah, how did I forget that you didn't even accept your love for me? But I'm challenging that before we go from Udaipur I will make you accept that you love me." He growled.
There is no need to make me accept Aarush because I already accepted that I love you.
But I didn't say it aloud.
"You shouldn't have said the word 'challenge'. You know I have a habit of winning in the challenge," I said with a smirk on my face. But maybe I will lose in this challenge.
"Let's wait and watch, Babydoll." A devilish smirk ghosted on his face.
"Okay," I said with a challenging look.
"Then let's go." He said.
"Okay let's go." I walked ahead of him.

It was night when we reached the palace after roaming the whole City.
Upon my arrival at the palace, I noticed Anamika standing alongside her fiancé. It turns out she had gotten engaged three days prior, causing my hopes of having her as my sister-in-law to crumble.
However, my concern lies not in the fact that Anamika is engaged, but rather in the suspicion that she may not be content with this arrangement.
When I attended the engagement, I observed that she was compelled to put on a smile and appear content. I inquired whether she truly wanted this engagement, but her response was simply, "I want to marry him."
However, I have a strong feeling that there is an issue within their relationship. If Charan Raichand is attempting to coerce my friend, I will not remain silent and watch. I--
I heard a knock on my door.
Who will come here at this time?
I opened the door only to see my brother.
"Eatta?"
"Did you take medicine, Riti?" He asked me.
"Yeah," I said and he nodded.
"Then go to sleep, don't stay up for long. Good night, Princess." He kissed my forehead.
"Good night, Eatta." I kissed his cheek.
"Look like you're very happy otherwise you wouldn't kiss my cheek. You only do that when you're very happy. So what's the matter?" He asked me.
"Because my sweet brother brought me to this wedding and also allowed me to roam around the city. So my mind is so calm and I'm very happy. So yeah, that's why that kiss. A thank you gift." I grinned at him.
"My little one!" He ruffled my hair.
"Go to sleep. See you in the morning." He said and I nodded my head.
I closed the door and locked it after my brother went to his room. I climb into the bed and settle myself down on the mattress.
As I closed my eyes, the kiss I had with Aarush came into my mind and his every word also.
Shit! I'm a goner now.
✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫
Next Day~ Mehandi Day.
I wake up after my eight-hour sleep schedule and do the usual warm-ups. After taking warm-ups I entered the washroom to take a cold bath.
After having a bath I put on a bathrobe. I come out of the washroom only to see a man sitting on the bed as he owns the place.
"What are you doing in my room that too early morning? Wait-how do you enter my room?" I asked him.
"Maybe I have a spare key to this room and about what I'm doing in your room I'm here to give you the smoothie you should have after your warm-ups," Aarush said giving me a glass of beetroot smoothie.
"How do you know this?" I asked him taking the glass from his hands.
"I know everything about you, Babydoll." He said.
I narrowed my eyes as I drank the beetroot smoothie. Who will be the one said this to Aarush?
"I finished my smoothie, now you can go from here so I can change." I placed the glass in his hands.
"You can change when I'm here."
"What!"
"What?"
"What did you say now?"
"Nothing I was saying that I'm not only here to give you a smoothie, I'm here for a morning activity that is very important to me." He placed the glass on the table and walked in my direction.
"Did you know that kisses have the potential to burn calories? Interestingly, I skipped my workout today, so a passionate smooch might just suffice to get the job done." He said in his smoky voice.
"Aarush. . . Not in the morning, okay?" I stepped back as he walked towards me.
"Why? I told you it is important for me to burn calories. So please let me do that," He said as my back hit on the vanity table.
"You're trapped." He said with a smirk. Hell, I'm trapped a long time ago in your love, Mr Aarush Malhotra.
My breath hitched when he glided his hands on my waist in a sensual motion. He made me sit on the vanity desk by grabbing my waist and then he made my legs apart, his fingertips grazed the bare skin of my thighs. He stood between my legs and placed his hands on the table beside both sides of me.
My hands are already on his shoulders, gripping tightly on his Red t-shirt.
As our eyes locked, I could feel the electricity in the air. Everything around us seemed to fade away as he tilted his head slightly, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. Slowly, oh so slowly, he leaned in closer, his warm breath caressing my face. My heart raced in anticipation as his lips finally met mine. But this was no ordinary kiss. It was like he was devouring my lips, the intensity overwhelming and intoxicating. The world ceased to exist as we lost ourselves in this moment of pure passion.
The way he held me, with such strength and tenderness, made me feel safe yet vulnerable all at once. Our bodies pressed against each other, the heat between us igniting a fire that consumed us both. The taste of his lips lingered on mine, leaving me craving for more.
Time stood still as we explored each other's mouths, a dance of tongues and desires. The sensations were so overwhelming that I couldn't help but let out a soft moan of pleasure. It was as if every nerve ending in my body was on fire, tingling with an indescribable sensation. We were lost in a world of our own, a world filled with passion and desire.
In that electrifying moment, nothing else mattered. It was just him and me, locked in a passionate embrace. Our lips moved in sync, the world around us fading away into oblivion.
He will be the death of me one day! Oh God, this is so damn. He making me insane with his captivating power.
As he was devouring my lips left me breathless, as well as him. He left my bottom lip after sucking that.
I thought he would stop after this kiss but looks like he has some other plans. He gently shifted my wet hair that was on my shoulders to the back. The simple act sent shivers down my spine, making me tremble with excitement. .
I could feel his warm breath against my skin as he trailed his lips along my jawline. Each touch sent waves of excitement coursing through my veins, making my heart race faster than ever before. I couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, a mixture of surprise and anticipation.
He continued to leave wet kisses along my neck, his lips exploring every inch of my sensitive skin. Each kiss was filled with passion and longing, leaving me breathless and craving for more. I surrendered myself to the intoxicating sensation, letting go of all inhibitions and allowing him to take control. His touch was electrifying, igniting a fire deep within me that I never knew existed.
"Aarush. . ." I moaned when he sucked the skin on my most sensitive skin on neck.
"Oh fuck! Your moans are making me insane, Babydoll." He said against my skin, he slid the bathrobe on my shoulders down. My grip on his t-shirt tightened more. Now my heart is beating with desire. I'm really surprised, how can I happen to have this desire when it was all perished years ago? I don't feel the numbness I usually have when encountering this type of situation.
I had always been guarded, keeping my desires locked away, fearful of what they might bring. But when Aarush came into my life, he effortlessly broke down the walls I had built around my heart. It was as if he possessed some secret key that could unlock the hidden chambers of my soul.
This desire is only exclusive to Aarush Malhotra, that's the only thing I know for now.
I hissed when he bit the sensitive skin just above my chest. He placed a wet kiss there and snuggled into the crook of my neck. I noticed this habit of him, he always nuzzles or snuggles into the crook of my neck. I don't know what obsession he has with this.
My fingers unconsciously moved into his hair, slightly caressing it. He let out a soft groan.
"Best morning ever," he mumbled against my skin, creating a tickling sensation on the skin there. A smile made its way to my lips.
"Babydoll, why are you not saying anything? You're okay, right?" He asked raising his head from the crook of my neck and stroking my cheekbone with his thumb.
"I'm fine," I said nodding my head.
"So. . ." He trailed brushing my hair with his fingers " Are you accepting now that you love me?" He asked.
A sly smile appeared on my lips "No." I said and he nodded his head, his lips curled upside down in a taunting look.
"If you accept it or not, Babydoll, I already marked you as mine." A winning smirk on his face. I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes at him "What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Let's see at downstairs, Babydoll." He said kissing my forehead and then pecking my lips, he was out of the room leaving me perplexed.
"What did he mean?"
My eyes widened at the realization and I jumped down from the vanity table and swiftly turned to look at the mirror.
"What the!" I yelled when I saw a bruise-like mark on the skin just above the place where my heart beats.
"He gave me a love bite, a fucking love bite!" I yelled again.
How will I hide this now, looks like I wouldn't be able to wear a wide-neck dress.
Asshole!
Now onwards I will not let that nincompoop touch me.
I released a deep sigh and worked on the hickey Aarush left before anyone could see that.
Okay, now it seems fine. Even I don't know how much concealer I used to cover that single bruise. I don't know how the fuck is this girls hiding this thing with such patience? I don't have that thing.
Anyway, I successfully hid it well. But for safety, I decided not to wear a wide-neck dress today. I choose a sleeveless green anarkali dress with a V-neck.
After changing into that dress I assured myself that fucking love bite is not seen. I applied eyeliner on my eyes and a nude lipstick on my lips. After that I set my hair, making it in a soft wave, I set my hair free with a center partition.
After looking satisfied with my look, I came out of the room.
What a timing!
Aarush came out of the room at the same time wearing an olive green kurta suit. Looking well proportional, devilishly handsome. His kurta is flexing against his bulging muscles. His black hair is groomed well but some hair strands fall on his forehead which makes him more attractive.
Oh God! Why is the temperature around me rising?
My heart started to beat wildly when he closed the distance between us. As I stood numb there, he leaned in closer. . . His woodsy and spicy cologne enveloped me.
"You better stop staring at me like that with your dark brown eyes otherwise we will end up doing unholy things instead of attending the Mehandi Function." He whispered in my ears in his deep voice.
Holy shit!
"Dhriti?" I heard someone calling my name but I was standing still not being able to look away from the man in front of my eyes.
"Babydoll?" Aarush waved his hand in front of my face.
"Yeah?" I asked him.
"She is calling you." He said pointing his forefinger in the direction of Anamika.
"Okay." I nodded.
"Okay? Just that okay? Girl, what happened to you?" Anamika asked shaking me slightly by holding my shoulders.
"Nothing. Let's go." I dragged Anamika with me who is laughing now.
"Why are you laughing at me?" I asked her as we strolled towards the garden area where the Mehandi Function will be held.
"Because I saw someone being lost in a fantasy world with her man," She said teasing me.
"Anamika!"
"What?"
"Don't tease me."
"I don't tease you, I was just saying the truth." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Then you tell me, how do you feel when falling in love? Huh?" Anamika nudged me.
"You tell me how it feels, you already got engaged, right?" I asked her, her expression changed but she was very fast to cover it up.
"It's an arranged marriage so it will take time for us to fall in love with each other. Our cases are different, Dhriti. Very Different," She said.
"Did he force you, Anamika?" I asked her.
No. He didn't. This marriage is happening with my heart-felt consent." She said to me with a smile, Her smile is anything but genuine.
"Okay, but I came to know that you're not going to the hospital now. What happened?" I asked her. Yeah, I did go to the hospital before her engagement but I didn't see her. So I inquired about her, and the staff told me that she was not coming to the hospital for one week. As much as I know Anamika, she will not compromise anything when it comes to her job.
"Uh. . . I'm going to get married soon so I thought I should spend some quality time with my family." She said. Anamika is hiding something. Hmm. . let me find that.
"It's good," I said.
As we were walking someone hit my shoulder harshly making me stumble back but Anamika held my elbow before I could touch the floor.
"Don't you walk carefully, what if she had fallen?" Anamika asked the one who bumped into me in her kind voice. But the other person doesn't deserve that kindness, it's Nithya.
"Nothing has happened, right? By the way, who are you? I didn't see you before here. Are you a staff or a servant? If you're, then stay in your place, don't try to say what I have to do." Nithya said in her mean voice.
This Bitch! How dare she to talk to Anamika like that?
Before I could say anything Anamika started to talk.
"Even though I'm a staff or anyone, that doesn't matter. But who you are to talk to me in an authoritative voice?" Anamika asked now her voice stern and firm. My friend is Sunshine and Kind but not a naive and weakling one.
"You don't know me? Me?" Nithya asked her.
"No. I don't know you. Who are you? A public figure or something else?" Anamika asked her with a calm voice yet sarcastic.
"I'm Nithya Takur, the one and only daughter of the Takur Family," Nithya said flipping her hair like she was a queen but the thing is she did not even reach the level of a peasant.
"Ah. Takur Family, that's why I get a bitchy vibe from you. . ." Anamika said to her then looked at me with a smirk on her face.
"Hey, you? Talk to me with respect." Nithya gritted.
"Give and take that's my policy. If you don't give me respect I don't owe you to give anything in return. Do you get it? Bitchy-Takur girl." Anamika said with a sarcastic smile.
"Look, if you talk like this to me, you don't know what I can do?" Nithya said moving closer to us. Should I poke my nose in this? No, I know my friend will handle her.
"Really? You don't even have an identity of your own, only you have a family name that's why you feel powerful but you're not. But, I have my own identity and I don't need a family name to make it powerful. So go and say this threat of yours to some children, okay? This is not your ground to play, Little girl. You better play with some children not elders like us, okay?" Anamika patted her cheek. Woahh! That's my girl.
"You--"
"I dare you, Nithya." A voice boomed behind us when Nithya was going to slap, Anamika. Nithya's hand freezes in the air.
"You touch her and you will be in a bloody shit." Mr.Raichand came and stood beside Anamika.
"I don't care who your family are, who your brothers are, I don't give any fuck about anything. No one will mess with my woman, do you get it?" His face is stoic with no emotions. Nithya stood there numb, a slight fear in her eyes.
"Do.you.get.it?" He repeated again.
"Yes," Nithya said.
"Apologize." He ordered.
"I'm sorry," Nithya said, her face curled with annoyance.
"Not like that." He commented.
"I'm really sorry, Ms.--"
"Mrs. Anamika Raichand." He interrupted her. But why does he say that she is still Ms. Roy, right?
"I'm really sorry Mrs. Anamika Raichand," Nithya said lowering her head.
"Not only to her, apologize to Ms.Dhriti Krishna also." He commented.
"I'm sorry." Her voice is low. Good.
Nithya walked away putting all her shit together.
"I need to have a word with you, Anamika. Excuse us, Ms.Dhriti Krishna." Cnaran said taking her hand in his.
"Okay," I said and walked to the garden. So their relationship is not that difficult I thought at least he didn't let anyone disrespect her.
I took my phone and scrolled through it.
"[Aryan Malhotra, son of Jayesh Malhotra and Meera Malhotra is tying the knot in Udaipur with Maya Sharma daughter of Anubhav Sharma and Vidhya Sharma.]
[Billionaire Aarush Malhotra's Brother Aryan Malhotra is getting married in Udaipur. The famous Business Magnet, and business tycoon Charan Raichand also arrived in India to attend Aryan Malhotra's wedding.
[Rehaan Singhania and Ranveer Mishra posted the photographs of being in Udaipur. Ayaan Malhotra also updated the wedding preparation.]
[The most unexpected presence we found was in Udaipur is, DK. The Dhriti Krishna and her brother Vikram Krishna. As per the information we got only close people are allowed to attend the pre-marriage functions. Look like Krishna Siblings are closely connected to Malhotras for a short period. Even Rehaan Singhania and Ranveer Mishra commented on the post of Dhriti Krishna.]
[Look like a new alliance will be formed between the Malhotras and Dhriti Krishna.]
[Dhriti Krishna's relationship with Ishaan Mehra is talked about among people, their photos were sensational a few days ago. Is something there between them more than a friendship? Dhriti Krishna also seems close to Mehra family.]"
I stopped reading the latest business news because it doesn't seem like business news, it's gossip looks like I have to conduct another press to say there is nothing between me and Ishaan.
I couldn't help but be filled with excitement as I entered the garden, everyone was here in the garden area wearing green colour outfits. The atmosphere was buzzing with energy and laughter. The room was adorned with vibrant colors and the scent of mehndi filled the air.
Oh my goodness, the scene unfolding before my eyes is absolutely enchanting! The henna artist has already begun adorning Maya's delicate hands with the most intricate designs. And there sits Aryan, her dashing partner, by her side, his eyes filled with nothing but pure adoration for his beloved Maya. They truly are a match made in heaven,
Maya looks like a vision in her three-piece outfit, her beauty shining through with every smile that graces her face. Aryan is undoubtedly the luckiest man alive to have such a stunning and joyful partner by his side. Together, they form the epitome of cuteness, their love story unfolding before our eyes.

(Aryan's and Maya's attire)
But the celebration doesn't end there. Karthika Aunty and Meera Aunty are also getting their hands adorned with beautiful mehndi designs. The room is filled with laughter and chatter as they share stories and bond over this traditional art form. Meanwhile, Jaidev Uncle and Jayesh Uncle sit beside them, engaged in deep conversation, their expressions animated and filled with excitement.
This entire scene is like something out of a fairy tale. The air is filled with joy and anticipation, as if magic is weaving its way through every moment. The henna artist's steady hands create intricate patterns on everyone's hands, each design unique and meaningful. It's a celebration of love, beauty, and tradition.
I can't help but feel overwhelmed with joy as I witness this beautiful gathering of family and friends. The love between Maya and Aryan is palpable, their smiles are contagious.
As I looked around, I noticed Ayaan mischievously disturbing Aashvi, who was trying to carefully apply mehndi on her hand. Their playful banter added a touch of liveliness to the room.
In the corner, Ruhi was engrossed in applying mehndi on her hands. Her face showed determination, but her eyes sparkled with mischief. Arjun, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying their playful bickering. It was clear they had a special bond, and their constant teasing only added to the joyful atmosphere.
Across the room, Isha Di and Ishaan were busy capturing precious moments with Veer and Rehaan.
Meanwhile, Anamika sat beside Charan, completely absorbed in putting Mehandi on her hands. Charan watched her with an emotion that I couldn't comprehend, anyway his presence added a sense of calmness to the chaotic room.
My brother is on an important call p, I don't know why he is always on a call. I'm also a CEO but I don't get this many cal--
"Are you not adoring your beautiful hands with Mehandi?" Someone whispered near my ear, I know who it is, my Aarush. . . I mean Aarush, that's it.
"Why should you know that?" I asked him.
"I want to know whose name you're going to write in your hands," He said.
"I'm not going to write any names in my hands," I said shaking my head.
"Well, you will write my name on your hands one day and that day is not too far, Babydoll." He whispered near my ear and kissed the earlobe. I looked around if someone saw that or not but only to see Nithya looking at us. Very good. She should see this. Huh. Thank god no one saw us except Nithya.
"Aarush, we're standing around people." I hissed.
"I don't care." He shrugged.
"But I care." I glared at him.
"Riti- What are you doing near my sister, Mr.Aarush Malhotra?" My brother's voice made me flinch a little.
"Nothing I was just giving her company when she was standing alone." Aarush in a detached voice.
"Now you can go, I'm with my sister." My brother wrapped his hand around me. If this is how my brother behaves with him it will be very difficult for me to convince my brother.
"But I will stand here," Aarush said and my head snapped in his direction. He smiled at me. What is he up to now?
"Then you stand here, I will take my sister." Eattan takes me to another side of the garden where Aditi Ma and Bhu- I mean Papa are sitting. Aditi Ma already finished putting Mehandi on her hand.
"Didn't you put Mehandi on your hands?" Aditi Ma asked.
"No. I don't like it, you know that, right?" I said to her.
"Riti come here, put Mehandi on your hands." Karthika Aunty called me.
"I don't want it, Karthika Aunty." I waved my hand.
"I selected a simple design, you will like it." She insisted on me.
"Lily, go and put that it's just a Mehandi, right?" Papa said patting my hand. I nodded and went near Karthika Aunty.
"Sit here," Karthika Aunty said and I sat beside her. She selected a simple design as she said but it look so elegant. Mehandi artist started to draw the design in my hands.
"Riti, did you know how much my Aarush missed you?" She asked me and I looked at her bewildered.
Did she know?
"Why are you looking at me like that? Aarush told me everything that he loves you and he also told me that you rejected him." A pain struck my heart when she said her last words. It might hurt him, right?
"Why did you reject him, Riti?" She asked.
I opened my mouth and closed that when she said the next words "Don't say that you don't love him because I can see it evidently in your eyes that you love him." I took a deep breath.
"Because I'm afraid to trust someone as my life partner and I'm afraid to love someone again," I said.
"But my son will never leave you, Riti. He loves you that much," She said. I know, Aunty . . . I know how much he loves me.
"Aunty, please don't say that to Aarush." I requested her not giving a reply to what she said.
"It will be a secret between us, Riti." She passed me an assured smile.
"Then let's go back to the first topic, Aarush missed as much as he lost his mind. He was always in his world. Do you know when Mom said to call Dad, he gave an apple to her instead of calling Dad," Karthika Aunty said.
"What? He did that?"
"Yeah,"
My gaze shifted to Aarush who was now standing beside Ayaan. When he looked at me I burst out laughing which I suppressed till now. He looked at me perplexed of course thinking why I was laughing at him.
He really lost his mind when I was not with him. Aww. . . He is really a nincompoop.
"Show me your Mehandi, Lily. Let me check if is it good or not." Ishaan said taking my hands carefully, not spoiling the Mehandi in my hand.
"Didn't you write the name of. . ." He came near my ear and whispered "Aarush?"
"Shut up." I snapped at him.
"I thought you were putting Mehandi for him." He said sitting beside me.
"Really?"
"Really." He pulled my cheek.
"It's your lunchtime, Lily. Let me take the food for you." He said and ran to take food.
As the vibrant colors of Mehandi adorned the hands of the women, the menfolk of the family took it upon themselves to feed their loved ones. The atmosphere was buzzing with laughter and excitement.
First, it was Aryan who took the lead. He lovingly fed Maya, his wife, as she sat there with her hands covered in intricate patterns. Then, Jaidev Uncle stepped up and fed Karthika Aunty, showing his affection for her in this small gesture. Jayesh Uncle followed suit, feeding Meera Aunty with so much love and care. It was truly a sight to behold.
But it didn't stop there! Arjun took his turn and fed Ruhi, his partner, while Aarush lovingly fed Aashvi. Even Papa got involved, feeding Aditi Ma with so much tenderness. And last but not least, Charan took his place beside Anamika, making sure she was well-fed.
I couldn't help but smile as I watched all of this unfold before my eyes. The love and care that these men showed towards the women in their lives was truly heartwarming.
And then there was Ishaan, my beloved brother, and Isha Di they showered me with love and affection as they fed me and themselves.
I felt an intense stare at me and it was intimidating, a type of making uncomfortable. From that, I understood it was not Aarush. I looked around only to see Daksh staring at me, a smirk formed on his lips when I looked at him.
Fucker! Why he is staring at me? I want to poke out his eyes. I want to kill him.
"Riti?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard my brother calling me.
"What happened, Riti?" Eattan asked me.
"Nothing." I shook my head. He narrowed his eyes and looked where Daksh was sitting now.
"Ignore them, Little one." My brother said in a calm voice patting my cheek. I nodded my head.
The Mehandi Function concluded just as swiftly as it began. Time flew by, perhaps because we were thoroughly enjoying ourselves, making it seem like it ended in a flash.
As I was walking to my room, Daksh stood in front of me. My breath got stuck in my throat. Now what does he want?
