Chapter 17
My heart is pounding hardly. I am here in the arms of that person which makes me crazy, mad, loved all of these, but right now he is a little pissed, why???
He is holding me tightly around my waist. I can sense the voices of the crowd behind me, lost in their dance but I have got some witness too today. Oh god!!! Alia..how in the world I am supposed to handle her. Fine..i will deal with her later on.
Finally!!I looked up at him, he looked at me, examined my face but didn't say a word.
Suddenly, a beautiful romantic song by Ellie goulding played in the background 'love me like you do'.
Oh! My god. Is this all planned? No!!! Don't overthink anything shree. I shut down my mind game immediately.
But..now?? Is he crazy?? Everyone's here.
I widen my eyes and looked at him with panic spread across my face. His brows creased immediately on seeing me and then finally!! After a life time, mr. Enlightener smiled.
Whoa!!
" don't care about anyone" he whispered in my ears and then dipped me down, I closed my eyes. His one hand is spread on my back and other is still around my waist.
At this moment, I am spell bound. I want to live this moment with him. The most precious person to me and then finally he pulled me and i am back on my feet and then he started following the beats of the song. Soon I realized that many couples have come up on the floor too.
I placed one of my hand on his shoulder and another is held by Arun. His body is really muscular.
Suddenly, Arun's voice reached my ears.
" you know that you have a say in with whom you wanna dance, right?" He looked into my eyes and instantly a shiver throughout my body.
" what do you mean?" I asked unknowingly .
Where's he going with this?
" you could have said no to that silly boy."
Oh!
His voice authoritative. His gaze is penetrating deep into my soul. His jaws are set into a hard-line and his eyes are never leaving mine.
"why would i do that? He is a nice guy" my voice low and calm.
Is he crazy? That was just a Dance, we didn't even dance properly.
He cocked his one brow up, as if he doesn't think the same.
Mr.Attitude!
" i don't like it" his voice firm and his hand that is on my waist is dipping in my flesh.
God!
I inhaled. " well..if i have a say in with whom i wanna dance then do you think the same conditions apply right now?" I asked and tried to be as gentle as possible. I looked at him and Finally, I am rewarded with his so-sweet-shy smile.
" No. I am the only exception " and then he firmed the grip of our hands and spin me around. I laughed and then kept my hands back on his shoulders.
" I don't want any guy ,here or anywhere could dance with the girl I love"
What? I instantly stopped. My heart rate, my breath and all the other sounds around me stopped and it's just us and his confession to me. Everything's paused.
I looked up at him with widen eyes. My mind got blank.
'girl I love' these three words are the only ones present in my head right now.. He stopped too and then grinned. He took my hand near his lips and then kissed them , then kept them back on his shoulders and started making me move again.
I kept looking at him. I don't know what to say. There is no doubt that I am completely smitten by him but..Arun?? Did he just say that? I couldn't believe my ears right now. Is this all real?
" Ms. Singhania, are you going to say something or just wanna stare?" He smiled and then brushed his nose with mine.
" hmm?" Senses finally came to me and i realized that the song is going to end and we are in the front of a good crowd. Alia, ryan and many of Bhabhi's cousins are looking here while dancing. Oh no!
" god!!" I whispered and then looked away from others on the floor. Suddenly Arun moved me around and now, the crowd is behind me again.
" what?" He creased his brow. His voice pitchy.
" your sister. Her interrogation" I made a worried face
" don't worry about her. I will handle her" he shaked his hand and then smiled.
"now?" His expressions are full of expectations right now. He is really adorable sometimes.
I smiled shyly " you know that you have created a scene with this dancing. Right?" I asked, my voice challenging. I tried to sound like him.
He cocked his one brow up.
" since when dancing with your girlfriend is known as creating a scene?" His voice playful and he is trying really hard to keep a straight face. But then he stopped smiling and looked serious.
I cocked my both brows up but this time with surprise.
He called me his girlfriend. Even before I realized, I had a whole shocked expression on my face. This guy!! For whom everyone is going crazy here..is confessing me his girlfriend?
Finally...the song ended. I looked at his beautiful face again who has what- hope right now?
Is this guy really mine? The thought made me smile. My Arun. No! Yes? I don't know. I pouted.
He smiled " you think a lot shruti. We will talk about this. " his voice loving and caressing.
Finally, I removed my hands from his shoulder and inhaled deeply.
" let's go then" he said and smiled and then moved forward. I followed him and moved slowly. I tried really hard to avoid any eye contact. But, I don't know how, I pointed alia standing with Ryan now.
I can see some couples are still dancing on the floor. We passed Bhabhi's cousins who are checking me out. Oh god!! Am i the prey here?
I kept following him and finally we came near the round table.
" what the hell!" I gasped and looked at Arun. He laughed
" that was quite a scene"
I gave him a wry smile " looks like these girls are gonna eat me"
He smiled and shaked his head
" don't look so tensed, it is fine" his expression serious now.
I scowled and then opened my mouth to say something, but before that
" stay still you both" alia cried and came to us, walking speedily.
I widen my eyes " what the.."
I looked at Arun, who has a very casual expression on his face.
How can he act so normal? I can't handle alia, not on this.
" oh..hey alia" I smiled as sweetly as possible.
She cocked her brow up and then looked at me and then Arun who is smiling his shy smile.
Oh wow!
" I am coming. You both sit" he pressed his palm on alia's cheek and then looked at me.
I cocked my brows up indicating him ' why are you going?' He twitched his smile and turned and went away.
What? He can't leave me alone like this. No!
I peeked at alia's face from the side but she,
" spill it shruti" she sat on one of the chair around the round table.
" there's nothing to tell" I made a serious face and sat opposite her.
" but there was a lot to watch" she said and then looked at me.
Her line made me smile and then we both started giggling.
Finally when we stopped, she got started again "now tell me" her voice convincing.
I shaked my head and then suddenly the song echoing in the hall changed and made us sure that Bhabhi is coming.
" heyy Bhabhi is coming" alia clapped and we both stood up, waiting for the bride to show and wow! She is looking gorgeous in her maroon attire. She is accompanied by her all the cousins and then walked to the stage where bhaiya was waiting for her. She stepped up on the stage on white and violet petals which spread all over the stage's floor. They both came at the centre of the stage and then exchanged their garlands. We all hooted like some teenagers and then laughed and then suddenly they both get showered by white, violet and red petals of flowers. The view is spectacular. It really is,
" beautiful" suddenly I heard someone's voice which brought me back from admiring. I looked at my right where Arun is standing with someone, that was this guy's voice. The guy is handsome, wearing all formal black tuxes and may be he is Arun's friend or something.
I looked at alia who is still staring the guy. Whoa!! This is the first time, I have seen her admiring someone like this. I looked at my right where the guy is looking at alia too. I looked at Arun who is smiling looking at me.
Suddenly! Arun broke the silence among us "Siddharth, she is my sister alia, alia Siddharth"
Siddharth shaked hands with alia , and she is flushed.
Wow! I can't help but smile.
And then,
"and she is my girlfriend shruti. Shruti Siddharth" he said and winked at me.
What? I widen my eyes. My breathing stopped for a moment and I kept staring Arun like a dummy.
I heard alia gasping, I looked at alia with all flushed and embarrassed look and she looks like a child who has just seen her favourite cartoon actor.
Siddharth offered me his hand and then we both shaked hands.
" finally" Siddharth said and looked at Arun, he is definitely his friend.
Arun gave him a full teeth smile and then he walked around and sat between me and alia, on my left and Siddharth sat on my right.
" girlfriend huh bhai?" Alia nudged Arun and giggled. I looked down all flushed and can't stop smiling.
"only if she is not rejecting me" he pursed his lips softly and looked at me all innocent and desperate.
I cocked my brow up a little. Reject Him? Who would want to reject him?
" so shree? Tell us your answer" alia clapped her hands softly and looked at me with all big eyes.
My heart started beating loudly and then I looked at 'him' with a panic look on my face. I don't know what to say and how to say. Suddenly his expression soften,
" I want my answer privately not with an audience" Arun said and then looked at alia. She made an annoyed face but then seemed fine with this.
Thank god! Finally I exhaled.
" so how do you guys know each other?" Suddenly alia asked this question to Arun and Siddharth.
Yeah..I want to know this too.
Siddharth smiled and then suddenly Arun gave the answer " through business" his voice soft but clipped.
What happened to him?
