"WHAT?"
I yelled and she closed her eyes while hissing.
"Why the hell will I come with you. Go by yourself. I have no time for all this bullshit."
"Relax to be husband, why are you getting pissed. I am not marrying myself, right? Then why will I go shopping alone. And I also need company, i can't shop alone."
I clenched my jaw to control my anger which was ready to explode on her.
"Then go with your mom, your sister or even take my mom with you. They will happily accompany you."
She narrowed her eyes at me and I hate to accept this but she was looking soo fucking cute.
"Am I marrying them? No na, I am marrying you so you will go with me--"
"I am not your--"
I interrupted her but she also did not let me complete my sentence.
"If you don't accompany me, I'll have no choice but to inform Rekha aunty that you're avoiding our wedding shopping."
Ohh, so now this cutie pie will blackmail me.
"Are you blackmailing me?"
I said and she laughed a little before answering.
"Whatever gets you to come shopping with me. Let's call it a persuasive tactic."
I looked at her with irritation and she gave me a tight lip smile. I had that sudden urge to slam my lips on hers and make her moan inside my mouth until that smile wiped out of her face.
"Fine, I'll come, but let's make it quick. I have better things to do than wandering around a wedding store.
She nodded immediately and a smile threatened to come out of my lips.
"Be ready at 11'o clock. I will come to pick you."
I said and she gave me a flying kiss. She turned to look at flowers and her sight fell on white roses. She excitedly turned towards me and said-
"They are white roses right? Can I pluck one for me please?"
I looked at her in boredom but her excitement didn't flatter.
"What are you, a child?"
Her smile vanished and then suddenly a smirk appeared on her face.
"No, future mother of your children."
This women. I scoffed at her.
"Why the hell you get on my nerves all the fucking time."
"Because I love to annoy you. You look so cute when you are annoyed."
She said and burst into laughter. I smiled looking at her but immediately made my face neutral when she looked at me.
She again turned back to roses and approached them with a delicate smile. As she reached for a white rose, her fingers hesitated, and she didn't manage to pluck it on the first try.
I felt an unexpected wave of protectiveness washing over me. Without a second thought, I closed the gap between us. I grabbed her hands gently with mine and she looked at me questioning.
"Let me do it for you or you will hurt yourself."
She looked at me in surprise as her eyes widened a little but still nodded at me getting on the side to give me space.
I moved forward to pluck the flower and gently took the rose from the stem.
"You have to be careful with these," I said, holding the flower out to her. "Their beauty comes with thorns that might sting."
She met my gaze, a mixture of surprise and gratitude in her eyes. She slowly took the flowers from my hands without breaking the eye contact.
Her eyes were my favorite color, black. I looked deeply in her eyes and felt my heart getting calm.
In her eyes, the deep black tells a silent story of strength, resilience, and perhaps a touch of mystery. It's like each gaze is a novel, and you can't help but get lost in the chapters of her soul.
The richness of black, full of elegance, reflects the layers of her character, unveiling a mysterious charm that captivates without uttering a word.
Her eyes, this deep, intense black, just pull you in. It's like the universe decided to make her gaze this strong, mysterious shade. Black, usually overlooked, is timeless, like the classy charm hidden in her eyes. There's something intriguing about it, you know? Like an elegant secret that lingers in those mysterious depths.
"Dii, we are heading home. It's time to go."
Advika tore her gaze away from me and looked towards Ishani. A subtle blush was colouring her cheeks, she was looking beautiful.
I looked at Ishani and felt a little irritated because of her interruption.
Advika looked at me and I nodded with a smile, she smiled back and moved inside with Ishani.
I looked in the direction of the roses and smiled a little.
As I gaze at these white roses, their pure beauty reminds me of her untamed spirit. Oddly, it fits her – like a White Wildfire, serene yet with a wild, untamed charm.
Wildfire
I smiled again, my eyes fixed on the roses. But wait--
What the fuck I am smiling about?
I immediately cleared my throat and straightened my face.
I went back to my room and thought to check some emails.
I engrossed myself in work and didn't realise that it was already night.
I had my dinner with mom and dad, who were only talking about my marriage and Advika. And I was silently listening to them and nodding at everything they were asking me.
I go back to my room. My phone vibrated and I saw Advika message me something.
I opened it and read the message.
Advika:-Tomorrow at 11 o'clock, sharp! Be ready.
You:- yes, i remember.
Advika:- good for you.
I chuckled and tossed my phone back on the bed.
After a minute my phone vibrated again. It was again from Advika but a photo this time.
It was a screenshot of my contact profile saving my number with 'To be husband'. She also wrote a caption which was "see how I saved your number."
In reply I typed a simple 'hnn' and got offline.
I go to her contact profile and edit her name from Advika to Wildfire.
I placed the phone on the side table, turned off the lights, and drifted into sleep.

I am standing outside Advika's house leaning towards my car. I called her, and she responded that she would be there in just 5 minutes.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was already past 10 minutes. Of course, just 5 minutes.
I looked forward as I heard the sound of the opening of the main gate.
Advika looked at me and gave me a smile while walking towards me. She was wearing a crop top and jeans. Looking hot and beautiful as usual.
I didn't react and opened the car door, then sat inside.
She glared at me from outside before opening the door and getting inside.
