Page 30 of ARIDHI: His Never-Ending Desire

Finally the day of Bhaiya's marriage has come.

It's 8 am in the Morning yet the entire Hotel is in commotion.

I was Drinking My Coffee as usual when I saw Narmada Aunty coming towards me.

I stood up from my seat as she spoke.

"Ruvit Beta will you go and buy me some fresh flowers? They are not available here."

"Yeah Sure Aunty. No Problem but-" I tried to speak but She cut it off.

"Yeah I know. You don't have knowledge about all these things." She said and I gave her a nod in response.

"Take Aridhi with you! She knows about Ridhima's choice and you are enough for Manish's choice." She continued.

She pointed towards the kitchen counter where Aridhi was standing.

I again nodded at Aunty before walking towards Aridhi.

She sensed my presence as she turned over to look at me.

"Good Morning!" She wished.

"Good Morning Baby." I replied back when I was close enough.

Her cheeks flushed with a reddish colour.

I opened my mouth to speak again but Aridhi diverted her gaze at Narmada Aunty who just came inside the kitchen.

"Tum dono..abhi tak yahi ho? Jaldi jao na" Narmada Aunty facepalmed.

(You both are still here? Go Fast)

Aridhi looked at me with a confused face. I held her hand and took her with me where my car was parked.

"Narmada Aunty needs some fresh flowers, So she told me to take you with me to buy them." I clarified.

"Ohh Okay. Let's go then!" Aridhi replied.

We sat inside the car as I started to drive.

I was driving and felt Aridhi's eyes on me. I turned my eyes on her but she immediately diverted her gaze to the car's window.

"Uhh..I have something to say!" She said while avoiding eye contact with me.

"Go ahead" I assured.

"You know I'm on Periods. Though I don't believe in superstitions but still I'm not going to touch the flowers we are going to buy." She looked at me.

"The Flowers are for Marriage purpose. And a marriage is the purest form of any relation. So, I can just instruct you from a far. You have to select the flowers by yourself."

"I don't need to do this but I'm sure if Matashree finds out about this, she will definitely taunt me and say something which will ruin my mood." She finished with a shrug.

I stopped the car on red light and looked at Aridhi.

She looked at me with raised eyebrows when I suddenly smiled.

"You care about everyone's feelings so much." I exclaimed.

"I just don't want to hurt anyone intentionally." She smiled back.

In today's generation where Youngesters don't listen to their parents and do as they wish, Aridhi is still the same Obedient Little Girl of her family!

Although she doesn't give a shit about what people say and comments on her personality, she still tries her best to not hurt them.

And that's what I like the most about her.

I made sure she was sitting comfortably. I kept my hand on her hand before driving back the car on the green light.

The Flower shop was a little far away from the hotel we were staying in.

I sighed internally due to the frustration I'm going to vent out due to this early morning traffic.

I turned my eyes on Aridhi once again to check if she is okay. She was pouting irritatingly while holding her stomach.

I turned on the Car's Music System to divert her from the pain.

The music started as she looked at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She slightly nodded her head, not breaking the eye contact with me.

I wish I could just kiss her so that she can get rid of this pain.

Wtf you even think Ruvit!?

This damn brain. It's not the time for such absurd suggestions.

But if a kiss can really make her feel good then I am ready.

Should I? I should not.

I should. No, I shouldn't.

Should I? Nah.

We both were still looking in each other's eyes.

My brain stopped braining and I leaned close towards Aridhi.

Her lips parted when I placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.

And just when I was lost in her, a click sound was heard.

I straightened my back as I realised it was just the car's camera which clicked the photo of the moment we just shared.

The photo of me kissing on Aridhi's cheek was displayed on the system.

Aridhi looked at the photo then at me.

"How..How did this happen?" She asked while pointing at the photo.

Her cheeks were all red till now.

"Well.. it's just a sensor!" I replied.

"Which sensor reacts on a cheek kiss!?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

I looked at her but she avoided my gaze.

I blinked a few times as I don't know how to explain it.

I mean I was the one who installed this sensor a few days ago. But I didn't knew it would work even on a cheek kiss!?

"Um..that-" I hesitated to answer.

How am I supposed to explain to her that this sensor is for capturing the intimate moments we are going to share in this car.

Not sex related or something, I'm talking about Love!!

"Nevermind" Aridhi said suddenly."We are getting late so drive."

I gave a nod at her and started to drive towards our destination.

After a few minutes, I stopped the car infront of a Flower Shop.

There was not so much crowd near the shop as we walked towards it.

An old lady greeted us as Aridhi told her about the flowers we want.

"You two look like a Perfect Couple!" She exclaimed.

A smile made its way on Aridhi's face as Aunty went inside her shop to take the Flowers.

"You didn't mind her calling us a couple!?" I questioned.

"Aren't we one?" She juggled up her eyebrows at me.

Just when I was processing on her words, I heard her chuckling behind her palm.

"We are going to get married, Ruvit. I think It's normal. It's going to happen a lot in future. Also, it's not mine or your mistake if Everyone misunderstands us as a couple! We surely seem as one." She said further.

I didn't replied anything to her. I didn't know that Aridhi would accept our marriage so soon.

I mean I'm happy that she has no more insecurities but still it's the question of her whole life.

And if she is ready to spend her entire life with me, I have to make sure she lives a..Perfect Life!

The old lady came back with the Flowers in her hand and Aridhi guided me in choosing the best ones.

As she said, she is not going to touch the flowers, so she made me touch them and see if they are good in condition.

After sometime, we got the Flowers we needed. And just the payment was left.

Just when I took my wallet off from my pant's pocket, My phone rang.

I handed my wallet to Aridhi as I took the call. It was Maa's phone.

Aridhi looked at me and understood my gesture as she took the wallet from my hand.

Maa asked us about our whereabouts from the other side of call.

I replied to her and glanced at Aridhi who was staring at My wallet with a little smile.

I hung up the call when it was done and shook Aridhi a little. She came back from the daze and looked at me.

"Aren't you getting too much!?" She asked, making me confuse.

"What are you talki-"

Before I could finish my sentence, My lips were sealed by hers.

I blinked my eyes continuously to check if it's a dream but luckily it isn't.

Her eyes were closed and her lips were moving in a perfect sync against mine.

Her eyelashes, long and beautiful, added a gorgeous way on her face.

Just when I was about to kiss her back, she backed off, making me startled.

"I liked the way you kept my photo in your wallet but you could have chosen a better one." She said while showing me her photo which was kept in my wallet.

It was the photo I secretly clicked on Bhaiya's engagement when she was eating.

She was looking like a pufferfish at that time which I found cute.

"Forget about it. Let's talk about what you did just now." I placed my hand on her waist.

"Wait-" She stopped me as she peeked over my shoulder to look behind me.

"Is something wrong?" I also looked behind as I sensed if someone was standing there.

"Nah Nothing." She hesitated as I removed my hand from her waist.

She went to pay for the flowers and I looked around in all directions.

I found none. Why I think something is wrong? I clearly sensed Aridhi looking at someone behind me.

?

The Night was already spreading it's way on the day. Everything was prepared for today's big wedding.

As decided, the Barat will start from the Hotel to the Lotus temple, where Ladkiwale will be ready.

I didn't saw Aridhi after our departure in morning, when we gave the flowers to Narmada Aunty.

I didn't even got the chance to speak with her in the car as she was busy attending her business calls.

I wanna talk with her about that kiss!!

I thought she would like to make her first kiss special but she just kissed me like that!? Not fair.

Yeah, I was dieing to kiss her but I didn't wanted our first kiss to be like this.

"Hey bro, why are you frowning like a kid!?" I heard Rishika saying.

"Nothing" I looked at her as she rolled her eyes.

"Go to Hell then!!" She replied with a sass in her tone before walking away.

I will surely go anywhere, even in hell, until and unless Aridhi is with me.

Let's go and check Bhaiya for now.

?

"Kisi ki nazar na lage mere bacho ko" Maa said as she put a dot of Black Kajal behind mine and Bhaiya's ear.

Bhaiya smiled at her and hugged her tightly. I joined the duo when Rishika also entered while whining.

"Not fair huh. All the Love just for the sons!!"

"Don't come near me. Your Makeup will ruin my dress!!" Manish Bhaiya warned Rishika when he saw her rushing towards him.

Rishika pouted and glared at Bhaiya.

"Let's go now!! We are getting late." We heard Papa saying.

?

I was walking towards the entrance when suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

I turned back to take a look around.

As I followed the voice, I paused near a room.

I peeked in the room just to be surprised with the view.

"Ananya, will you tell me why are you crying?" Grandma was sitting beside Ananya on a couch.

Ananya was crying and Grandma was consoling her.

What are they both even doing here!? Grandma decided to not attend a single function of Bhaiya's wedding.

"I saw Aridhi kissing Ruvit. Ruvit wasn't even kissing her back!" She stammered while giving an answer to Grandma.

Saw me and Aridhi kissing?

Wait, Was she the one at the flower shop in the morning?

Did Aridhi saw her keeping an eye on us or something?

"You know na I'm not ready with them both and never will!" Grandma exclaimed.

"You don't have to worry anymore! You will definitely get what you deserve. Ruvit will be all yours!" She patted Ananya's head.

"How!? He doesn't even look at me. All because of that Aridhi!" Ananya continued crying.

"I have found something which will definitely ruin everything between Aridhi and Ruvit!!" Grandma smiled.

Ananya looked at Grandma with a confused expression.

"Something related to the Past!" Grandma expressed with a proud face.

"What do you mean?" Ananya questioned.

"Ruvit!" I heard Maa calling me.

Shit! I have to go. I walked towards Maa but my mind was stuck at Grandma's and Ananya's conversation.

What something related to the Past Grandma was referring to?

She wants to ruin everything between me and Aridhi. But wae?

She don't like Aridhi. Understandable.

She even knows that I Love Aridhi. Ofc She is smart enough to notice.

But she wants Ananya to get me!! What kind of nonsense is this!?

Like if I'm happy with Aridhi then Grandma should have agreed for the sake of my happiness but no.

Manish Bhaiya also married Bhabhi against her choice and now when I'm also getting married against her choice, she wants to ruin everything!

I am clueless about what Grandma is going to do. But one thing I am determined about is keeping Aridhi away from all the danger!

Even if it includes my own family.

It's okay if Grandma is plotting something against My and Aridhi's relationship, I'm going to protect Aridhi at any cost.

I can't lose her!

I definitely can't lose her.
