Page 27 of ARIDHI: His Never-Ending Desire

Play 'Manike' Song.

The Same day of Haldi's midnight, Everyone was sleeping soundly in their respective rooms.

But Aridhi wasn't able to sleep. She was rolling on bed here and there just thinking about Ruvit.

She was Blushing, Giggling and what not but suddenly something struck her mind.

The Thought about her being his Business Partner.

"Is it Okey to be his business partner?" She mumbled to herself.

"I mean I wanted to reveal My Identity as Business Queen when I will become capable of surpassing the Business King aka Ruvit and now when I'm his business partner it feels like kind of cheating!?"

"Ugh.. I think too much!" She frowned.

"I ordered a water bottle but it isn't here yet." She said to herself while looking at the empty kettle beside her bed.

She decided to go and take it by herself. She roamed around the corridors of hotel at the midnight.

"Uhh!?" She paused as she heard some foot steps coming towards her.

A chill ran down her spine,"Ghost!?" She trembled.

The foot steps become more and more audible with each heartbeat. And suddenly electricity went off.

All the lights automatically turned off, adorning the surroundings with darkness.

A loud Thundering sound was heard. Aridhi froze at her place when she saw it was raining outside, through the window.

Aridhi huffed hardly as she saw a shadow on the wall infront of her. She was about to scream but put her hand on her mouth.

"I am not scared of darkness but this rainy weather is haunting me.." She mumbled to herself.

Aridhi started to look for her room but seems like she lost the way. She tried to open the door but they all were closed.

"Please..this should be open!" She prayed and to her luck that door was open.

She quickly rushed inside the room and closed it. She took a sigh of relief while keeping her hand on her chest.

I was taking a shower when I heard a sound. Yeah at midnight because I wasn't able to sleep.

My mind, My heart, My Body is all occupied by her. Ardhangini. My Aridhi.

I wrapped the towel below my navel and walked out of the bathroom. I was surprised to see Aridhi in my room standing at the door back facing me.

What is she doing here and wae she is trembling!? My eyes worried as I understood her problem. Rain!!

I walked towards her and she might have felt my presence behind her. I don't wanna freak her out.

"Princess Don't worry you came at the right place!" I kept my hands on her shoulder.

My hairs were wet and it dripped on her. She looked up at me and I gave her an assuring smile.

Her ears were red and her cheeks too. Her eyes shined like stars as she turned herself towards my side.

Her eyes went to my jawline, neck, chest, abs. I lifted her chin up to stop her staring journey.

"I didn't came here intentionally and I didn't even knew it was your room" She explained.

"I went to take drinking water but suddenly lights turned off and I saw a shadow there. What freaked me is this freaking rain!" She said in one go.

"Okey I understood! Let's check out about that shadow" I said while ruffling my hairs.

"You took a shower...at midnight?" She raised her brows and I gave her a nod,"Weirdo."

I chuckled and then teased her, "Just enjoy the view!"

"What view? Huh?" She scoffed while looking away.

"Me and my body is the view!" I whispered in her ear as she kept her both hands on my respective shoulders.

"I look a kid in front of you. Just look at your height and these broad shoulders!" She whined.

"That you are but what's more interesting is having a Baby with this kid!" I grazed my lips with her earlobe.

"You are crazy!" She flicked my shoulders.

"For you Darling!" I said while wrapping my hand around her waist and pulling her more close.

She nibbled on my neck due to this sudden movement,"Wipe yourself with towel and wear clothes else you will catch cold!"

"As My Madam says!" I moved towards my bed to pick up another towel to wipe my hairs. All the Warmth I was feeling a minute ago was now gone.

"Let me do it!" She claimed excitedly while moving towards me.

I sat on the bed and she stood in front of me, while drying my hair with the towel. She was wearing sweatpants and a crop top due to which her belly was visible.

I closed my eyes and smiled, thinking about her cute behaviour around me. And staring at her Waist would be a bit inappropriate.

"Done!" She exclaimed and gave me the wet towel,"Go inside the bathroom and Wear your clothes now!"

"For your kind information, This is My Room!" I grinned at her.

"So?" She narrowed her eyes,"Once you told me that whatever I say goes."

"Noixe." I took my clothes from the wardrobe and went inside the bathroom. I Like it when she dominates.

It took me a few minutes to get ready as I came back in the room. Another Surprise, She was looking at My Phone.

"Uh-huh, Impressive!" She praised, once she felt my presence at her while showing me the wallpaper of my phone.

I chuckled at her words while walking towards her,"You shouldn't check someone else's phone without their permission!"

"I know very well that You won't mind me! Nevertheless, It turned on automatically due to a notification and coincidentally my eyes roamed on the screen's wallpaper." She said.

It was our childhood picture, only me and her in a frame. It was clicked after our 12th class.

"I have an idea!" She claimed.

"I'm listening!" I said.

"Put My Photo on your Lock Screen Wallpaper and I will put yours on Mine. Kind of Matching!" She suggested. Noixe Idea.

"2601" I said ... "What?" She looked at me confusingly.

"Password, That's my password!" I answered.

"Kinda familiar" She paused,"Wait- Don't tell me that's my birthday date!" She looked at me with an astonished expression.

My Baby is such a Cutie. Isn't she?

"It is." I smiled,"Now Do this wallpaper work tomorrow. First of all Let's go and see what freaked you out!" I said.

She hummed at me and we both went outside the room to see.

Oh Kanhaji!

Never thought that you have written such a sweet Lovestory for me–who just wanted to be a successful independent rich lady, without any care about Men.

I never expected that one day I will also get my own fictional man in real.

[A/N: But He is also Fictional for us!!??]

Now as I have realised my feelings for him, I won't let him go at any cost. But I want him to persuade me.

By the way, He is too much Hot and Damn Perfect. It was very difficult for me to control my wild thoughts.

After seeing his wallpaper, My heart fluttered more and how can I forgot the password thing.

For me, it's the cutest thing if a man puts his woman's birthday as his lock.

Funny but His insatiable habits around me are the cause, I realised my feelings.

Drifting to the current situation, He was ahead of me. I was holding his shirt from the back as we walked through the passage.

And once again, we heard the same voice which I heard earlier. One more time, the same shadow came to our view and his footsteps become more audible.

I wrapped my arms around Ruvit's waist from the backside as Dripping sounds of rain reached my ears. And freaked me out again.

"Calm Down Princess!" Ruvit said while turning his side profile at me which made me calm.

"Huh.. Sorry Sir and Mam, We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience you have to face!" A man came in our view with a torch in his hand.

"There was an electric circuit break due to the heavy rain!" He continued and Ruvit gave him a nod in return.

I took a sigh of relief as I moved back from Ruvit."See it was nothing!" He turned his face towards me.

I looked at him and he continued, "About Rain, it's physically impossible for me to stop that but yeah I will definitely get this fear out from you. Jaan."

I think...My Heart just skipped a beat. I was lost in him when We heard someone fake coughing.

"This Dhruv-" Ruvit mumbled while glaring at Dhruv.

Nandini was also standing beside him."What are you guys doing here?" She asked.

"Someone thought a Ghost is following her!" Ruvit teased while looking at me.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" I patted his back harshly."What about you Guys?" I asked Dhruv and Nandini while turning towards them.

"We were playing!" Dhruv replied.

"Playing what? Riding Riding!?" Ruvit said and we broke out laughing except Dhruv.

"Haha..very funny! I was talking about Pillow Fight. I'm a Gentleman unlike you and not going to do anything before Marriage!!" Dhruv glared at Ruvit.

"You? Gentleman? Nandini, I'm telling you that this Dhruv isn't even G of Gentleman!" Ruvit said while looking at Nandini.

"Aridhi, Stay away from this man. I'm telling you that he is not going to show any mercy on you on bed!" Dhruv protested.

"Nandini, Dhruv is not going to show mercy on you either!" Ruvit passed a fake smile.

Me and Nandini both Looked at them in disbelief. What just happened?

?

Last Night wasn't as peaceful as I expected. It was full of Chaos of Feelings and Desires.

The Feelings I realised for Him and now The Desire to hold him forever.

I was half asleep while having morning thoughts when I heard a knock on my door.

Today is Mehandi Function and then Sangeet at Night. Busy Day.

I stood up from the bed, wore my slippers and opened the door while I was rubbing my eyes.

"Kabhi bhi Time pr nhi uthna hota na?" I heard a familiar voice which sent chills in my body.

(You never get up on time, do you?)

My eyes widened as I realised My Matashree was standing right infront of me.

After a few minutes of processing, I hugged her tightly. She made faces but patted my back nevertheless.

I saw Papa walking towards us as we broke the hug. I walked towards him and hugged him too.

"I missed you so muchhhhhhh!!" I exclaimed and he hugged me back.

"She didn't said this to me huh!" Maa complaint to herself. Though it was clearly audible.

"How is My Princess?" Papa asked as he caressed my hair. "Just Feeling like a Queen!" He chuckled on my words as we broke the hug.

"You both were about to come on wedding day right?" I asked them.

"Tomorrow is the wedding so I thought it's good if we come today!" Maa answered.

"I wanted to meet you for a very long time Mrs. Agarwal!" I saw Ritu aunty and Ruvit coming towards us.

The sight of Ruvit's body which was half naked yesterday's night was now well sculpted with the designer suit.

"Likewise Mrs. Rathore!" Maa replied. Does Maa and Ritu aunty know each other?

"Your daughter is extremely Excellent in every field!" Ritu aunty praised.

"I have also heard a lot about your younger son!" Maa said while looking at Ruvit.

He bent down to take blessings from my parents. My parents patted his head. He stood straight and looked at me.

"Good Morning Adhu!" He wished to me.

My cheeks turned red while thinking about the last night. But soon I realised the name he used for me.

"Matashree!!!!!" I whined,"Wae did you told my nickname to everyone!?"

"Don't worry Everyone liked it!" Maa exclaimed. Huhhhhh!!

"It will be our pleasure to get such a sweet daughter-in-law!" Ritu aunty smiled.

Wtf!! Which Daughter-in-law????

I saw everyone looking at me with grins on their faces. Wtf happened here in the early morning!?

I saw Ridhima and Nandini smirking at me. Am I the only one clueless??

"Pleasure is all ours to get such a Perfect son-in-law otherwise I was worried about my dumb daughter!" Maa said on which I looked at her with a shocked expression.

"Can someone tell me what's happening here!? What are you guys planning in the Early morning!?" I yelled.

"She surely is dumb Aunty.." Ruvit said, "Oh It should be Mother-in-law now!" He grinned. Widely.

I gasped in surprise. OMG what's on the world happening here!!!!!! Am I getting married????? Wtf.

"My Stupid Daughter, Remember I told you that I arranged a guy for your marriage?" Maa sighed.

"I clearly disagreed to it!" I replied while crossing my arms up to my chest.

"And what if I say the guy I arranged for you is your childhood crush?" Maa wiggled her eyebrows teasingly at me.

"Childhood crush..." I mumbled under my breath while my gaze went upon Ruvit. His face held the charm of satisfaction and happiness.

"My Future Wife had a crush on me in the childhood. How come I never knew?" He said.

I flushed as realisations after realisations hit me. The hell. Now Everyone fucking knows about me crushing over Ruvit!!!!!!!

So that means..

"YOU BOTH ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!" Everyone shouted. I was still processing what's just happened. Is it a Dream? I can't be awake.
