Part 6


" No Dad " Seema disagreed instantly.. "I dont think this is a good idea..
"Seema " He sighed " Mallik family had contacted us as soon as we returned from abroad.. I guess this will be a very good decision for your life.. And whats the problem as far as i know you like the boy.. "
"But dad " She protested.. "Armaan... "
Simi Raichand interrupted her instantly.. " Seema.. As your parents we wont think bad of you darling. This is the best thing which can ever happen with you. Dont say no so easily. Think about it.. "
Mihir Raichand nodded in agreement.. "Exactly Seema. And can you imagine what a big event it would be when two powerful families get together in a relation. This is for the best dear. As your mother said think over it.. "
Seema silently stared at her parents. Lost in her thoughts she nodded and headed back to her room..

"Armaan !! NO ! " Shilpa shrieked as she took a step back.. Armaan winced and shook his head " You need to control your voice.. Its hurting my ears.. "
Ignoring his remark again she took a step back as he came forward.. "No Armaan.. Whatever you do i am not coming in shower with you.. "
He scoffed shaking his head.. "I am not asking to do something so impossible.."
He sighed dramatically which made her giggle.. She bit her lip as a blush formed on her cheeks.. "I told you i already took a shower an hour before.. "
"No big deal. " He advanced towards her with a teasing look.. Shilpa shrieked which made him wince more..
"Oh oneday i am going to tape your mouth.. " He whispered as he pulled her in his arms roughly.. Shilpa grinned at him.. "When you have such a quiet husband the wife needs to make all noises.. "
His grin grew wide as he whispered huskily.. "Ohh i know you do make noises.. Specially the noises you make when we are busy in bed... "
Her smile faded off as her face heated up hearing his words.. She stammered loss of words which made him laugh.. "So finally nothing to say.. ?? "
Shilpa moaned softly as he bend down caressing her neck with his lip.. He rubbed it on her sensitive point which made her gasp softly... "Trust me i enjoy more when you make such soft noises.. " He muttered darkly while nibbling her skin boldly... Shilpa tried to gain control on herself, but she was loosing it. Still she forced herself to remind of the dinner on stove which could burn any minute..
He frowned as she drew back and stared... "Now what ? "
With a blank look she blurted out.. " Close your eyes.."
"Huh ? "
"Close your eyes " She gave a shy look.. " I have to give you something.."
"Oh yea " He smirked and closed her eyes..
Shilpa stared at him for a while and giggled.. She sneaked out of the room quietly only to hear him complain... "Not Again !! "

"Hey again " Shilpa whispered peeking inside the room.. Armaan ignored her and set on the bed drying his hair with the towel..
"Still angry.. " She asked with a pout which did no wonders on him.. Shilpa set beside him and took the towel from him while he gave her a look..
"Let me do it for you.. " She set up on the bed and started to dry his hair while he muttered softly.. "Do you even want to do what i want ? "
He wanted to take back the words as she stilled as her hurt filled in her eyes.. But instead of reacting she hid the hurt and got back on her work..
"I am sorry. That was out of line.. " He spoke quietly.. " I am sorry.. "
"Its ok " She sighed and kept massaging his head which felt good. He frowned slightly and took the towel from her hand..
Shilpa shifted slightly as she realized she was sitting on his lap. Which surely please him.. "Wait"

"What ? " She asked nervously as he ran his hand on her bare arm… She shivered slightly as her cheeks grew warm.. "It feels good to have you close.. " He whispered while holding her closer.. "I cant believe you still feel shy… Its been long 3 years.. "

Her eyes widened as she protested.. "I am not shy.. "

He grinned at her refusal and pinned her on the bed beneath him.. She gasped surprised with his sudden move.. "See that blush on your cheeks. What does that mean.. "

"Oh you just shut up.. " She muttered with a irritated look while trying hard not to blush anymore.. He laughed softly and kissed her fully on the lips… "I don't mind.. Infact I really.. " He nibbled her lip more.. "Really like it.. "

"Ohh " She moaned and tried to push him away... "Ahhh Armaan go and shave first.. "

He ran a hand on his grown beard and smirked.. "Its not that bad.. "

She rolled her eyes.. "You did take a bath right couldnt you go and shave off that beard.. "

"Not in mood for that " He muttered and leaned down kissing her once again.. As she turned her head to a side he traced his lips on her neck which made her gasp.. "Dont do it.. That really tingles.. "

"Is it so... " He asked innocently.. Before she could protest further he gripped her hands and started to tease her by brushing his beard on her neck..

"Oh you such a devil.. " She cursed and started to giggle as he rubbed his beard on her collarbone.. For about 10 minutes he tortured her while she kept giggling and cursing beneath him. Finally as he was satisfied he stared down at her and grinned. Her breathing was shallow while her face was all red.. Desire built through him seeing the rosiness on her cheeks.. He nibbled her lips and whispered.. "Play time over Cinderella.. Now its time for some real lesson.. "

2 hours Later :

Armaan got out of his car grinning to himself. He ran a hand on his smooth cheeks.. He remembered how she refused to make love with him if he didint shave.. No matter how much he seduced her she stick to her decision.. Whistling softly he walked inside the house.. His steps came to a halt as he noticed some guests who stood in the living area. Thats when he noticed Seema who stood along with her parents.. As he stared at her she refused to meet his eyes and looked away.. He took a step forward as Veena came to him with a big smile.. "Finally Armaan. So glad you could make it on time."

He gave a confused nod as his father joined them.. "Where were you whole day " He muttered..

Armaan looked away and mumbled.. "I had some important work.. "

"On sunday.. " Balraj asked suspiciously.. "Anyways go upstairs and get ready.. "

"May i ask why " Armaan asked quietly.. He started to realize something big was happening here.

"Go and get ready " Balraj spoke firmly..

Maybe its just a party.. Armaan thought unhappily as he headed upstairs.. 15 minutes later he joined them all changed and fresh. Veena came to him once again beaming happily.. "Oh Armaan you look so handsome.. "

Armaan gave a small smile and glanced around unhappily.. "May i ask whats the occasion.."

"Oh Just.. " Veena ignored his confusion.. "Why dont you go and talk to Seema for a while.. "

His curiosity grew more as he joined Seema who looked away nervously.. "Hey Seema.. I dont know why my parents arent telling me whats the occasion here.. "

"Ohh " Seema said trying to give him a smile.. But failed.. "Armaan.. I need to tell you something.."

"Sure.. Say.. " He spoke looking around...

"Its our engagement Armaan.. " Seema spoke quietly refusing to meet his eyes..

"Excuse me.. " Armaan blurted out.. And then He started to realize what she had said.. "Our engagement ?? "

"Yes " She spoke miserably.. "Dad talked to me.. I just couldnt refuse.. " She glanced at him sadly.. "I am so sorry Armaan.. I know its wrong.. But i like you so much.. "

Armaan shook his head in numb disbelief... His head was spinning... "I cant believe this.. You let this happen.. ?? You know we already had cleared everything.. "

"But Armaan.. " She protested..

"No No " Armaan shook his head.. " I cleared out to you how i feel about this. And then we both agreed we will remain friends.. "

"I am so Sorry Armaan.. " She bit her lip as her eyes grew misty..

Armaan's head was spinning.. All he could think of was Shilpa.. What would happen to their life.. "How can you do this to me Seema.. " He shook his head with hurt filled eyes.. "I trusted you.. "

He turned back quietly as their parents approached them... " Armaan..!! We are happy for you both.. Seema did tell us you have no objection with this Engagement.. "

"Surely Seema must have told.. " Armaan spoke sarcastically while Seema gave a guilty look..
