Good morning buddies ❤

Chapter 10

Everyone was busy in preparation for Holika dahan. Neelam and Radha were in the kitchen making all the sweets. Aarti was helping Dadi in making holi outside the house. Jay was sitting on doorsteps like an useless man looking at Aarti with the same creepy smile. Yash has gone to the market to get some necessary things for pooja.

Meanwhile Yash returned and found Aarti sitting with Dadi. Neelam took shopping bags from his hand and went to show Radha. Yash sat with Aarti. She smiled seeing him. Dadi leaves to take the pooja plate. Yash softly touched Aarti's nose. She made a cute angry face realizing that he put rangoli color on her nose. Yash laughs seeing her face. She also touched his nose with her already spoiled fingers. Yash glared her in return. She smiled teasingly which make him smile too.

After holika dahan everyone wished holi by placing tilak on each other's foreheads then they all enjoyed the special dinner together.

*****

Morning, house garden was full of guests, everyone wishing each other happy holi. Radha walked out of the house with two more plates of sweets. Neelam brings drinks, and Jay already brings plates of colors. There are some water tubs too, Yash was mixing colors in them. Meanwhile Yash met some of his friends. The DJ played some famous holi songs. Soon Yash's friends left telling that they needed to meet some more people.

Yash stood by the door looking at Aarti Neelam who was playing with colors. Neelam soon gets naughty as she picks a water gun of pink color.

"No, Neelam please stop" Aarti was startled as Neelam suddenly attacked her.

"Bura na maro holi hai." Neelam laughed and continued to empty her water gun on Aarti who was running from her as Aarti too laughed while picking another gun. Yash was smiling to see that his baby sister is a grown up baby and Aarti too is not less than a kid, he felt so good to see her laughing. Dadi smiled seeing how Yash is happy looking at Aarti.

"I need to do something" Dadi thought naughtily getting the idea to make Yash's real feelings come out.

"Yash" Yash turned to see Dadi standing with two glasses of drinks.

"Dadi you don't bring bhang for me, right?" Yash asked seriously. She hit his shoulder. Yash laughed, taking a glass from her hand.

"You're right Yash" Dadi smiled with herself as Yash drank it.

Aarti went inside the house to bring some more drinks when Jay followed her.

"Uncle" Aarti was surprised to see him standing just behind her.

"I'm thirsty" He glances at her with an evil grin which makes Aarti uncomfortable. She forwards him a drink glass.

"You also drink, you might be tired" he picked a glass from the kitchen slab.

"No uncle, I'm fine" she denied.

"Please take it" He forcefully gave in her hand. Aarti smiled weakly and drank it. For a long time Jay talked with her about every little stupid things, he was just waiting for her to react on the drug. Aarti was confused as to why he is behaving like this but she tolerates him just because he is Yash's father. Soon Jay smirks as she hold head.

"What happened?" He came near her.

"Nothing" she moved back. Jay neared her more, he was about to touch her hand when Radha called him from back.

"Jay, come your mom dad is here" Radha tells him happily. Jay made a face looking at Aarti one last time before he left unwillingly.

"God knows what kind of drink he gave me" Aarti murmurs while sitting on a near chair. Yash stepped in the house as he felt his head spins but he bumps into Aarti.

"What happened?" She asks as he saves her from falling.

"Actually my head spins." he said.

"Oh, is your head also spinning?" she asked, surprised.

"My also means your too?" Yash asked, amused. She nods cutely.

"Like this" she spun her finger in front of his face, he looked at her finger carefully then grabbed her waist.

"Why did you hold me like this?" She looked at him.

"So you don't fall, that's why...your head spins, right?" He said seriously. She smiled the next second.

"You're so sweet" she pulled his cheek which made Yash smile like a kid.

"You're also very sweet." he said, leaning in close to her face. She smiled naughtily pulling back and picked some color in her fist from a plate placed there on a slab only to throw on him. Yash was startled.

"Aarti" he glared at her.

"Bura na mano holi hai" she chirped, running away. Yash smiled, picking a color plate and ran behind her. She stepped in his room and was about to close the door when Yash pushed it open.

"This is cheating, I'll complain to Radha aunty about you" she frowned and came forward to run out but he locked the door and kept plate on a sofa only to fill a handful of color.

"Everything is fair in love and war" He pulled her close with left hand and smeared color on her cheek sensuously down her neck, she closed eyes.

"Pari" Yash mumbled, Aarti opened her eyes only to find him looking at her with a loving gaze.

"Pari?" She searched his eyes.

"Yes, you…for whom I'm waiting since I don't even know the meaning of love" Yash leaned in and rested his forehead on hers in delight.

"Love" This one word raised her heart beats. He nods.

"I love you" Yash confessed. Aarti's eyes widened and soon she smiled in delight, she always dreamed of someone who loves her just the way she is, with her flaws and weakness, but she never thought that he would be waiting just for her. A tear rolled down her cheek.

"I don't like tears in my pari eyes" He wiped the moisture under her eyes.

"Hmm" He hummed gazing at her lips.

"Ok" She smiled, her hand reached around his shoulder, but before he could kiss her she pulled away teasingly. He looked at her with a baby angry face, she naughtily taking steps back. He came forward and soon he was chasing her as she ran in his huge room around the bed, sofa and sometimes study table but very soon he caught her, they both fell on bed laughing, she lay on top of him as he was busy lovingly looking at her happy face.

"You look so cute laughing like this" He tucked a curl behind her ear.

"Really" Aarti asks. He nods which makes her smile even more. Yash's fingers slipped into her long hair and he flipped her, she was under him and he leaned to take her lips but she turned face. She could feel him smiling over her cheek. Aarti moaned when he moved toward her neck, his lips grazed her smooth skin sensuously, she tilted head giving him more room, he bit her collarbone, her dupatta was irritating him so he threw it away. She turned to the other side, shying. He draws her hair to the left side and passionately kisses her nape. He was grabbing onto her as if he is well aware of her weak spots, as if it's not the first time he is touching her. She fist sheet, closing eyes as he opens her kurti dori without any hesitation. He ran his hand down her shoulder all the way to her wrist and entwined his fingers with hers.

"From now on these fingers will only touch me" Yash speaks in her ear. She smiled, shying. He kisses her back deeply.

"Yash" Aarti moaned, feeling like her heartbeats will stop any moment. She turned around only to hug him tightly.

"I won't do anything" Yash assured her by rubbing her back, she nodded, he saw a shadow moving by the window, he pulled Aarti closer protectively and soon they fell asleep into each arms, feeling that deep delight.

Jay walked out of the house furiously after seeing how Yash Aarti landed together. Later guests left for their homes and family members left for their rooms as they're all very tired after the holi celebration.

******

In the evening Yash woke up with a headache and saw Aarti sleeping in his arms. She looked like a peaceful baby while sleeping resting head on his chest. He moved back and remembered everything that happened in the afternoon as Dadi gave him that bhang drink. He was angry but soon he remembered his confession to Aarti that he loves her, his pari. Their beautiful moments followed by it and he saw a shadow out of the window. Soon Aarti wakes up missing his warmth, she cutely moves hand over bed searching for him which makes Yash smile.

"Aarti" he called her lovingly, she smiled to herself and opened her eyes only to see Yash sitting there. She felt a headache as she sat but saw her dupatta laying on the floor, she looked Yash shocked then glanced at herself, her kurti dori is open and hair are messed, her face and neck has color and so does Yash is messed. She held her kurti from behind. Yash got out of bed and picked her dupatta, she grabbed it from his hand and tried to wrap it around her shoulders but it fell again in nervousness. Yash came forward and Aarti took steps back and hit the study table. He holds her shoulders, she glances at his eyes as his hand comes around her and he leans in and she closes her eyes, soon he holds her kurti dori only to tie them. He steps back, she searches his eyes. Yash was himself amazed by his own action but maybe his love confession made him more open toward her. She picked her dupatta and wrapped it around her shoulder.

"Do you remember anything?" Yash asked. Aarti looked at him then she tried to remember but she can't recall anything that happened after Jay gave her a drink.

"No, I can't." She nodded no. Yash gets confused because he can recall everything whatever happened between them then why Aarti can't after all both their drinks are harmless holi bhangs.

"Aarti drink was not bhang?" Yash thought what if someone drugged her. He came forward and hugged her protectively, just the thought of someone drugging her for his evil intention scared him.

"I'm fine" Aarti can feel his restless heartbeats so she tries to calm him. Now she thinks nothing happened between them, maybe they were just playing holi and landed here and slept.

"You go to your room and please lock the door properly, okay" Yash parted from her only to tell her to be careful. She nods cutely. Yash left for the bathroom as Aarti left for her room.

"Who can give drugs to Aarti?" Yash got worried, then his thoughts went to that shadow.

"Who were there?" he wondered.

*******

Aarti steps into the bathroom after locking her room from inside as told by Yash. She was done taking shower when she saw some marks on her neck. She touched them, one was just over her heart and some was on her neck.

"How can this happen?" She wonders, knowing how protective Yash is for her but then why her dupatta was laying on the floor and her kurti dori was open.

Later Yash saw Aarti in the kitchen, she is helping Radha and Neelam in preparing dinner. Soon everyone sat for dinner. Aarti is avoiding his eyes, he sat with Jay who is not in a good mood but Yash doesn't care, only Aarti's strange behavior bothering him, he wanted to question her but at the same time he is not understanding what he will ask her.
