Page 25 of ARIDHI: His Never-Ending Desire

"So Mrs. Future Nandini Dhruv Thakur! Care to explain!?" Dhruv said as he took his seat beside Nandini in her cabin.

"I don't know who are you!" Nandini stood up from her seat while looking away.

She was trying her best to not look at Dhruv as she was Blushing.

Dhruv held her hand and pulled her on his lap. His hand went to her waist. Meanwhile Nandini's hand was holding onto his shoulder.

"Dhruv!!" Nandini called out.

"If there was a Bed here then I would have told you who I am" Dhruv said,"There is table also to do, but you will get tired on it!" Dhruv smiled.

"Shameless!!" Nandini shouted.

"Only for you!" Dhruv said while making Nandini blush.

"Now tell me about that girl!!" Nandini said.

"My Daughter?" Dhruv smirked.

"You really married someone else!!??" Nandini grabbed his shirt's collar.

"Do you really think I will marry someone else when I am even alive just because of you?" Dhruv said.

"I didn't married anyone and that girl is Rishika, Ruvit's sister!" He said further.

Nandini left his collar and slapped on his shoulder lightly.

"So you fooled me!?" Nandini looked at Dhruv with a Childish face.

"It was necessary!" Dhruv said,"I didn't knew you will be so much jealous" He chuckled.

"So!? I literally believed it!!" Nandini said.

"Okey My Cutie, Time to give an explanation about our breakup!!" Dhruv pinched her cheeks.

"It's not logical" Nandini said.

"No worries, I will still listen!" Dhruv assured her.

"You were good in studies before 10th but after coming in relationship with me, your performance decreased till 12th!" Nandini sighed.

"So!? It didn't happened because of our relationship!" Dhruv said.

"Not completely but it had some effect on your performance, Dhruv!!" Nandini said.

"Nope"

"Yep"

"No"

"Yes"

"Nah"

"Yeah"

"Nandini!"

"Dhruv!"

"Jaan!"

....

"I won" Dhruv exclaimed.

"Whatever But After 12th, we were about to go on different paths. So it was rather difficult for us to study properly without each other!" Nandini stated.

"We had managed it" Dhruv said.

"Dhruv, Be Practical sometime! I did it only for you. I knew it if I hadn't took that harsh decision, today you also not had been here!" Nandini explained.

"That's it??" Dhruv questioned, "I understood you broke up with me after 12th without any explanation for my own goodness but do you have any idea how much it hurted me!"

"It hurted me too" Nandini caressed his hairs.

"Okey but you should have told this earlier. At airport or when you were treating my wound or just after becoming successful or much earlier than all this!!" Dhruv said.

"I didn't had enough courage. And At Airport, I came back to Delhi just because of you, to explain you everything! But you gave me a cold shoulder. So I thought you are not going to forgive me! I know it was silly of me to take that decision but I had no other choice" Nandini explained sincerely.

"And what about when I asked you about if you love me??" Dhruv raised his eyebrows.

"Ofcourse it was a lie" Nandini replied.

"Convince me now! For the mistake you did and if you need me to forgive you, convince me for that" Dhruv said while folding his arms.

"Will this work?" Nandini asked while leaning towards him.

"Wh-at?" Dhruv stumbled.

"I'm not going to convince you!!" Nandini said while faking a smile when they were just inches far.

"Wtf!" Dhruv cursed under his breath,"That's not fai-mmm.."

Before Dhruv could complete his sentence, Nandini smashed her lips on his.

?

The Lotus Temple had been decided to be the venue for the wedding.

Both the families were staying in the hotel near the Lotus Temple.

Before the actual celebrations of Wedding begins, both the families had a week.

The Good News we all heard in past few days was about Dhruv and Nandini.

They finally patched up. And Nandini explained us the reason.

Well Yeah, anyone could say it was illogical and not gonna lie, this decision of her angered me too.

But Okey she was also right at her place, it was necessary.

Anyways, We all are happy for them.

"Aridhi! Please call Rishika" Ritu Aunty said.

"Ji Aunty" I replied and walked towards the opposite side of the hotel where boy's family were staying.

I walked through the passage humming to myself. When I heard someone whistling behind me.

I abruptly stopped in my tracks and turned behind to find no one.

Weird? I looked around but corridor was empty.

I fastened on my steps making my way towards Rishika's room.

I heard the whistling sound again but this time I didn't stop.

I felt someone behind me, so I turned around quickly but there was no one.

But a scream went out from my mouth as soon as I turned again and found Ruvit standing there.

Ruvit pulled me towards him as he kept his palm on my mouth. I placed my hand on my heart to calm down.

"Aise chilaogi to Bhoot bhi pagal ho jaye, me to fir bhi insaan hu!" He chuckled.

(If you shout like this even a ghost will go mad, I am still a human being!)

"Insaan nahi, Janwar ho!" I slapped his shoulder, "You scared hell out of me!" I said.

(Not human but an Animal!)

"Janwar? uhm..Haan Sher hu!" He chuckled.

(Animal? uhm..Yeah I'm a Lion!)

"Sher? Shakal to gadho jaisi hain!" I exclaimed.

(Lion? But Your face is like Donkey!)

"Shakal pr kyu ja rhi ho Meri Jaan, Stamina dekho na" He winked at me.

(Why are you going on face my love, look at stamina)

This boy, not leave a chance to flirt with me.

I started walking without replying. My Blushing Mess is enough I guess.

"Aridhi-" Ruvit called out.

I ignored but suddenly I was pulled backwards on his chest by him.

"Don't be angry Meri Jaan I was just teasing you!" He whispered from behind.

"Uh-huh!" We heard someone coughing on which I quickly maintained distance from Ruvit.

Rishika was standing behind with a smile as she folded her arms in front.

"Mood Ruiner!" Ruvit mumbled under his breath.

"Rishika! Your Mom is looking for you. Go immediately!" I dashed towards my room after informing.

?

"Aridhi, Are you ready?" Manish Bhaiya asked.

"Yeah!" I said as I wore a traditional kurti.

We were going to a temple for some small rituals before marriage.

I walked towards the ground where everyone was waiting.

I saw Dhruv, Nandini, Abhir and Rishika sitting in one car. Meanwhile, Vinayak Bhaiya, Manish Bhaiya and Ridhima were sitting in another car.

Ruvit's parents and Ridhima's parents moved towards another car.

Ruvit's Grandma and Ananya were also there. What she want now!? Wae she is even here!!

"Ruvit, we will go with you" Grandma said while holding Ananya's hand.

Ruvit nodded at her and turned his eyes on me.

Since everyone has already occupied other cars, I have to go with him.

I saw Grandma sitting at the back seat and saw Ananya going towards MY RESERVED SEAT!!

I immediately walked towards the car and opened the door before her.

"Wth!" She cursed under her breath.

I sat inside the car and closed the door.

"That's my seat Aridhi!!" She looked at me with anger through the glass window of the car.

And I ignored her like thin air.

Ruvit sat on driver's seat and locked the car from inside.

He started to drive, leaving Ananya behind.

"Ruvit, wait for Ananya!" Grandma said.

"She don't deserve to sit in my car" Ruvit said.

I saw Ananya stomping her foot on the ground in anger.

After 15-20 minutes we reached to our destination and whole ride, Ruvit's Grandma was glaring at me.

I didn't cared about her as I was busy in my phone.

"One has to climb up 300 steps in order to reach up at the temple!" Vijay Uncle stated.

"Yeah, It is believed that if a man carries his woman in his arms while climbing up the stairs, they get sealed together for eternity!" Narmada Aunty explained.

"I will do it!" Manish Bhaiya said while picking up Ridhima in bridal style and started walking upstairs.

"What about Singles?" Rishika asked.

"They are sealed to be single for eternity!" Abhir replied.

"Is it necessary for you to always interrupt me!?" Rishika tsked.

"I was just answering to your question" Abhir said.

"I didn't asked you!!" Rishika glared at him.

"Rishika!! Is this how you talk with elders!?" Grandma scolded her.

Rishika didn't said anything and just looked down on the ground.

Wae this old woman has to always poke her nose in someone else's business!!??

Abhir and Vinayak Bhaiya consoled Rishika and the trio went to climb up the stairs.

"I heard Couple's bond also get strong through this" Nandini said and looked at Dhruv, "Tum Strong ho?"

(Are you Strong?)

"Haan to Logo ko aisa karte huye dekhne mein strong hone ki kya jarurat hain" Dhruv said.

(So why do we need to be strong to see people doing this?)

"Dekhna nahi, Karna hain!" Nandini faked a smile.

(Not to see, you have to do it!)

"K-Karna hain? Jaruri hain" Dhruv hesitated.

(We have to d-do it? Is it necessary?)

"Yeah!! Now c'mon pick me up. Stop your overacting" Nandini said.

Dhruv cleared his throat and picked up Nandini in bridal style.

"Ruvit, why don't you carry Aridhi?" Ritu aunty said.

"No need Aunty, He won't be able to do it. You know he is getting old" I taunted on which Aunty chuckled.

"You are underestimating me!?" Ruvit lifted up his brows at me.

"Nope, I'm stating a Fact. Kahi tumhari kamar tut jaye" I said.

(What if you broke your back)

Ruvit picked me up in bridal style as all the Elders started to climb up the stairs individually.

Ruvit and Dhruv both were moving with the same pace.

"You are Slow!" I tsked.

"No Problem, I won't be on Bed!" Ruvit said.

There is no sense between bed and stairs. But still I am Blushing like a crazy woman.

"Now don't blush like if you are going to be with me on bed!" He said further.

"I'm not!!" I lied on which Ruvit chuckled.

"Getting Tired?" I heard Nandini asking Dhruv.

"Not so easily!" Dhruv replied.

"I will screw you if I fell down!!" Nandini warned.

"I won't dare to" Dhruv said.

We covered almost 50 steps. There are still 250 steps are left. What am I supposed to do till then!?

Stare at him!?

"Ruvit"

"Ji Ruvit ki Ardhangini!"

(Yes Ruvit's Ardhangini!)

I zoned out just for a minute and his name went out from my mouth.

And He flirted even in that.

Sometimes I think it's not about flirting but feelings. Like The way he makes my heart flutter is something I can't explain in words.

Weird but if someone asked me to marry this guy, I will agree.

"My mother once said: When you Fall in Love with someone, you aren't interested in anyone else but if you are, you aren't in Love!" I told him.

"So you are in Love with someone?" He asked.

"Maybe or Maybe not but Yeah, I'm not interested in anyone except him" I replied.

"And Who is that exception?" He asked again.

You!!

"I won't tell until It's confirmed" I said, "But I wanna say or you know confess something to you."

"Sure, go ahead" He agreed.

"Meri har raat ki aakhri soch aur har subah ka pehla khayal ho tum!" I said in a singing tone.

(You are my last thought of every night and my first thought of every morning!)

He smiled while glancing at me.

"Meri sangat ka asar dikh rha hain aap mein" He teased on which I slapped his shoulder.

(The effect of my company is visible in you)

"By the way today you didn't followed your legacy!" He reminded.

Oh Yeah! Because of Ananya!!

"I will give you a kiss once we reached up" I said and he gave me a nod.

I turned to look at the chaotic couple, Dhruv and Nandini.

"Baby, You are heavy!" Dhruv said.

"Heavy!? Ek baar utrne do mujhe fir btati hu heavy kya hota hain, Yahi sandle nikal ke tumhare sar pe nhi mara to Me bhi tumhari biwi nhi" She said while swaying her legs in air.(Heavy!? Let me get down once I will tell what's heavy, If I didn't hit you on the head with this sandle then I am also not your wife)

"Biwi to aap abhi bhi nahi hain" Dhruv sighed. (You are still not my wife)

"Haan lekin bnungi to me hi na!" Nandini rolled her eyes.

(Yes but I will become that only!)

"Bro why God made Girls!?" Dhruv asked.

"So that you could be born and another one like you!" Ruvit answered.

"I want a Daughter!" Dhruv said.

"Son!!!" Nandini exclaimed.

"Daughter!!!"

"Son!!!"

"Daughter!!!"

"Son!!!"

I chuckled on their Cute and Chaotic Behaviour.

Soon we reached upto the top of the temple but both Ruvit and Dhruv were exhausted.

We saw Manish Bhaiya, Ridhima, Vinayak Bhaiya, Abhir and Rishika were already there.

Only Elders were left to come.

"The View from here is Beautiful!" I exclaimed.

I tiptoed at my place as I planted a kiss on Ruvit's cheek.

"As I promised!" I whispered on which Ruvit smiled as if he forgot all his tiredness.
