Vayansh's POV :
Here, I was working in my office. Today the date of my wedding will be fixed, Honestly it doesn't affect me much, it just fueled my anger more. Then my thoughts again wandered to my conversation with Aarohi. I didn't tell her that I am the CEO of Rathore co. Would that have changed her view for me? I don't know maybe she would not be so carefree with me after knowing my real identity and I fucking don't even know the reason why I care.
Even when she said her bua would scold her, it also didn't settle well with me. I have never cared of anyone scolding anyone not even if they scolded Arnit or kashvi but thinking about anyone even scolding her made me furious. I can't believe myself scolding is such a small thing so I shouldn't even care.
I heard a knock on the door making me snap out of my thought and I ordered "Come in"
Advik came in and said "Bhai the date is fixed for your wedding and the functions would be starting soon enough. Do you want to make this public now or later?"
With my usual tone I said "Neither do I believe in all this drama nor am I going to be involved in this. I will be there on the wedding day and also don't announce the details about the wedding as paparazzi are going to find it soon after. I don't want any drama."
Advik said "Ok Bhai, I will take care of the media but about the functions, it's necessary to do that too."
I speak leaving no space for any argument "I agreed to marry but I won't be attending any of those stupid functions. Cancel them if you want or do them without me, I don't care."
He sighed but nodded as he even knows not to push me too much.
After that conversation my mood was spoilt for the entire day and I know the only one who can fixed it making me realise 'I am fucking obsessed'.
The Next Day, I quickly leave the house without having my breakfast as I know it will only anger me more hearing everyone walk about the fucking wedding.
I drove to the same temple and waited for some time outside as I never stepped in the temple because I didn't believe in God. If he existed he wouldn't have let that happen to.... my mom. Just thinking about it soured my mood more.
After a few minutes I finally saw Aarohi walking towards the temple while fixing her dupatta over her head with one hand and the other carrying the plate for prayers.
I was instantly mesmerized by her beauty and just how damn beautiful she looked in that purple suit.
My thought wandered back to her pink hanky which I have still kept safely in my closet. Fortunately she didn't ask for it back because I won't be able to return it to her.
As she saw me, she quickly smiled making my chest hurt and I realised my heartbeat fastened.
This stupid hard stoned heart dares to beat now.
She broke my chain of thoughts as she said "Hello, we meet again. I think God also wants us to meet as somehow we collide into each other."
She still fucking thinks we meet coincidentally twice but I didn't correct her.
I said teasingly "Hello to you too, bachha."
She looked shocked and glared at me saying "Now you have started calling me bachha too. Won't you stop calling me a child? I am already 20 years old for God's sake."
I smirked and said "I like calling you that. I will call you that from now on."
She frowned and said "No, you won't."
I said "And who will stop me?"
She said confidently "I will."
I chuckled which is very rare for me then I said "Try for yourself."
She proudly said "Of course. Now come on, let's go in the temple or Aarti will start."
My face instantly got hard and I said "No, you go. I am good here."
She frowned but then like she realised something she said "Oh, you have already visited inside. Are you going to work now?"
I didn't correct her again and said "I will wait here for you."
She smiled so brightly that it shined my heart.
I saw her walk in and I waited outside for her and made a few phone calls for reports in the meantime.
I ended my phone call and turned around and saw Aarohi already standing there.
I asked "When did you come?"
She said "It's just been a while you were talking on the phone so I waited for you."
I almost frowned and said "You could have told me you arrived, I would have disconnected the call."
She said still smiling "No it's ok. Let's go to the cliff again, shall we?"
I nodded and we walked to our spot.
Our spot, It was where we met so yeah.
We again sat there, she was still scared sitting on the edge but did her best to hide it and we silently sat there.
I wanted to hear her sweet voice so I randomly asked "Why do you choose to come here? Are you that good at taking care of others?" Which I highly doubt as she is still just 20 and I don't think she can do anything without any accident. She is clumsy as hell. I smiled in my head at that.
She looked at me and her smile now vanished as she said "Well I could have argued but I agreed. I am really not good at taking care of others. Yesterday the tea pot accidentally slipped out of my hand and at night I almost gave my bua the expired medicine." She grinned at the end.
I narrowed my eyes at her and asked "You didn't hurt yourself, did you?"
Her grin widened as she said "Fortunately not yesterday."
That 'yesterday' word at last didn't settle well with me but I didn't said anything about that. I have to control myself around her.
So I instead asked "When you can't even take care of yourself why did you come here to take care of your bua?"
She looked ahead and said "It's not like I can't take care of anyone. I am just not good at it and I can always learn."
I looked at her urging her to continue and she did said still looking ahead "Actually my bua did have a son but he don't live here with her so she needed someone here."
Her tone told me she was serious right now. I asked "Shouldn't he be the one to take care of his mother? And also you had your college there too. Won't you miss your classes as there's still some time for holidays."
As much as I despised the idea of her never coming to Jaisalmer at all, but I wanted to know her more.
Her face was filled with fury as she said "Indian mentality. As my bua is sick she is not able to do the house work as well. She would help but is not able to do all the work so for that as per Indian society she needs a girl to do that. She only has one son and as a male he can't do house chores.
You are also a man I am sure you also haven't done any house work in your life."
Her words settled in my mind as I realised what she was trying to say. She hates this discrimination of girls and boys and people's mentality about that. At last she asked me if I can prove her wrong by denying her claim but I know I can't, I really haven't done any house work but not because I am a man but because I never needed to do anything.
Sensing her mood now I said "It's not always like that, sweetheart. I agree it is still in our society but try to look on the brighter side. Many families don't follow that now and yes I haven't done any house work at all ever but I assure you my sister also hasn't done any ever. Work should not be divided between boys and girls."
I grabbed her hand and pressed it a little assuring her. I have never done that before and I don't even know how to assure someone but I don't know how but I said whatever came into my mind and I hope it helped.
And then here it is, She smiled again and said "Thank you, Actually I know. You know, My family loves me a lot so it's not like there haven't been any changes here. Let's leave it I just got lost in emotions, sorry for that."
I wanted to say she doesn't have to be sorry, I can even hear her complaint about anything as long as she is the one who talks but I again control my mind and didn't say that instead I said "It's ok"
She smiled and asked me "You have a sister? How many siblings do you have?"
I nodded and now sensing the light environment I answered "Cousins. Two brothers and a sister."
Her eyes lightened as she asked "You have a joint family? You know I always wanted a joint family. I like big families but since I don't have one I secretly hope to marry in a joint family. It's a secret so don't tell anyone."
My blood boiled in my veins listening to her talk about her marriage. I will fucking kill anyone who dares to touch her. No.. What am I thinking? I shouldn't be so involved in her. I fucking need to get away from her otherwise she will be in my head soon. Fuck she already is, I am fucked.
Before I could say anything I heard her say "Shook!! I am again late."
I looked at her looking at her phone probably seeing the time.
She hurriedly got up and said "I have to go now, Vayansh. If I don't reach home on time I will be dead. I have to take my bua to the hospital today."
I didn't like what she said but I also need to get away from her otherwise I will be doomed so I nodded and led her outside.
I watched her hurriedly go, I wanted to say to be careful but I didn't. I just watch her go away from me.
I have fucking decided I won't see her again because if I continued seeing her then my obsession with her will grow to no end and I don't want any hurdle in my life not even an Obsession....
===========
