< 25 > A little promise & a kiss
Mishti :)
The very first marriage in Agarwal house of our generation, bhai's wedding. I was hella excited, because after coming here to Australia I hadn't attended any Indian wedding. Both of our families have decided to keep the engagement ceremony here, in Australia. But all the other function including marriage will be occurred in India.
I thought bhai & Sharanya would choose a destination wedding, but they wants to marry in the village. So we would go to Rajvansh family's village.. It would be a different experience.. That day two families met for their wedding discussion, engagement date was finalized to keep after a week .. Today's their engagement..
We had only one week, so I didn't make any lehnga according to my choice .. Sharanya has her own ethnic brand , so I ordered one readymade lehnga. Being the only daughter of Agarwal's I wanted to look good, moreover in your bhai's marriage function, you should be in limelight after the bride & groom.. Lol.
In the last one week, Abir used to stay busy due to all the work related to engagement.. Media has still no idea about the engagement. Both the families are continuously meeting, so there's a rumour about Abir and my wedding. So many articles have been released regarding it, of course all because of Abir Rajvansh.. People have more interest in an artist's personal life rather than us, businessman..
So as he's the famous singer worldwide, there's his name all over the article regarding the wedding. Media is even more surprised wondering how the rivalry between Agarwal & Rajvansh ended, who would tell them that it has ended decade ago and they were just faking it..
Abir had told me to order a blue lehnga so that we would twin together.. I was still mad at him, but deep down I wanted to twin with him, so I chose a blue lehnga for myself.. For emergency I have ordered a Indo-western jumpsuit and a embredory gown..
I have come here to Agarwal house to get ready.. Now I don't stay alone anymore. Either I would be at Agarwal house or mumma stays with me in my house. Jeevika doesn't come here to Agarwal house, of course she thinks this family as her in law and she's hell shy. Nobody from my family knows about her and Mrinal bhai's dating..
So every time I come here to stay with my family, Mrinal bhai goes to my house to stay with her. They're the cutest, because bhai is extrovert while she's ambivert and shy.. Mivan bhai is going to marry Sharanya, Mrinal bhai is dating Jeevika, only Maanvir bhai is left.. I hope he finds his soulmate soon. And about me, God knows what am I doing..
As Abir stayed busy in this week, he managed to take time for myself just to say sorry.. But of course I am not going to melt so soon.. He has a lot of patience, not for once he has become annoyed. He should hold the patience, because I had showed a lot of patience and put every possible efforts before his accident. So it's his time!
Not settling for bare minimum..
Moreover, I am not focused on his apology or efforts, all I want him to prioritize himself even the worst of worst comes. What if tomorrow a situation will take place like yesterday and he would go ahead without thinking of himself. And I very well know him, he would never choose himself over anyone over anything..
Sometimes I get melted seeing him putting so much efforts, but many more ways to go!!
I wore the skirt part of the lehnga, I became excited seeing the flare. I was looking so beautiful. But when I tried to wear the blouse, it didn't fit around me.. It's extremely loose, I looked at the watch.. I didn't have much time.. The blouse had knot, but it's loose around my abdomen, it had embredory work so if will stitch it it would look so bad..
"Mummaaaaa! " I called her loudly, panic started dripping in me.. I have hardly ten minutes, I can't even take it to a designer to fix it.. "What happened? Why are you shouting so loudly-" I didn't have to explain myself as she herself understood the problem..
"Oh my God, what would you do now? " She mumbled, I pouted.. She was looking extremely pretty because she's wearing a saree.. "Will you wear a saree? " She suggested, I shook my head in a no.. "It's a Indo-western party. Nobody from my age would wear that. And I don't want to wear a saree today, " I cried..
"You can drape a saree in a Indo-western pattern! " She suggested, "And I don't have any blouse in my fitting, don't forget that! " I mumbled, "You have bought other outfits in case of emergency.. Wear that! " She reminded me, I had completely forgotten about it.. I opened the wardrobe..
There's a white jumpsuit, but I didn't feel like to wear it.. I chose a blue powder color gown, it would go well with the theme as well.. I made a face, because I really wanted to wear the indo western lenhga! I quickly got ready, mumma helped me in wearing the gown..
In the upper part of the gown, only the breast part was covered and other sides were visible because of the net clothing. But the gown was backless, I was happy & satisfied with the styling. The gown had so many layers, so the little girl in me was excited to flaunt it.. After wearing a pair of heel , I came outside.. I had made two braids by using some strands of my side hair and tied it on the back, keeping the rest of the hair open ..
I went to bhai's room, Mrinal bhai and Maanvir bhai was there too.. I took a balaye of him in indian style and went to them.. "You are looking so handsome, thu thu thu! " I said, giving him a side hug.. After such a traumatic phase, the whole family was happy.. We four clicked several pictures and I clicked duo picture with bhai as well..
We four went down stairs, chachi did his arti. No matter in which country you stay, always follow your culture. Only our engagement ceremony will happen here, other functions will be held in Abir's village. Never in my life I had stayed in a village, so I was excited for the experience..
We all left for Rajvansh house, everyone was pulling bhai's leg because he's blushing like a red tomato. I was seeing this side of bhai for the first time.. Media people has covered the entrance .. It became a hot news because there's already a buzz because of Abir & my relationship, now this ring ceremony was happening. So there's a huge media outside.. After parking the car we headed towards the entrance..
My family stopped as the media called them, but I refused and came inside . I never liked all this, so they didn't force me as well.. I was excited to see Sharanya, so I headed to Rajvansh house..
The decoration was eye pleasing, both of them wanted a simple ring ceremony and the venue was looking so elegant and simple.. A few guests have arrived.. I stepped inside, everyone's running from here to there.. I stopped Ruhani bhabi, "Bhabi, can you say where is Sharanya's room? " I asked her, she first glanced at me and took my balaye.. "You are looking so pretty! " She said, I thanked her..
She hadn't dressed up, so what would I have said more!
"Take the stair and turn towards the left.. Her room will come on second! " She said, I nodded and headed upstairs.. I was so excited to see her that I forgot the direction, should I take the right or left? "Take the left, you will land up on your destination! " Ruhaan said and left.. I had trust issues, I thought he showed me the direction towards Abir's room , after all he's Abir's best friend .. Instead of taking the left, I took a right and the second room door was opened..
I entered inside, "Hey girlie! " I mumbled in excitement , the moment my eyes landed on Abir, my feet froze on the ground and my breath stuck.. He was wearing a black formal pant, just a pant. I got a lot of unholy thoughts after seeing him shirtless, oh damn! He was looking so perfect, with his messy hair falling on his forehead, his perfect sharp jawline and perfectly built broad chest..
He raised his hand and ran his fingers into his hair, making my heart skip a beat.. I didn't realize when he reached me until I felt his finger on my cheeks.. He was staring deep into my soul, I tore my gaze away and looked down.. He held my palm and kept it over his heart.. His heartbeat was uneven and rapid..
"Should we call the ambulance? My heart rate increased after seeing you , " he addressed, it increased my heartbeat even more.. He pulled me a little closer holding my wrist, but we were still standing in a safe distance.. "Or do you have the same heart rate as mine? " He whispered and placed his other palm over my heart, I wish I could control my heartbeat, because it's faster than him..
"I understand why my heartbeat has become faster, because I am seeing the love of my life in a gown for the first time and she's looking the prettiest.. But what about you? I haven't even dressed up yet , " he said bending down up to my height, maybe because you are shirtless and it can drive any sane girl crazy..
"The temperature is too hot i guess, " he whispered and pulled me closer by holding the belt of my gown.. He didn't have to put much effort, he just held the belt between his two fingers and pulled me effortlessly..
I wasn't even able to protest.. He held my wrist properly and placed it on the center of his chest, my chest raised up and down as I lost control over my breathing.. "What are you doing? " I whispered, he trailed down my palm down his chest to his abs, I felt a jolt of current running down my spine.. I so wanted to push him to maintain my hard personality, but it looks so impossible at that point..
"I am doing exactly what you want to do, sweetheart! " He mentioned, my fingers started trembling, he had my wrist between his thumb and index finger.. The next moment I crashed against his chest as he pulled me and twisted my elbow, keeping my wrist on my back.. My heart came to my throat, I looked at his eyes which were already staring at me..
His eyes filled with a little love, a little admiration and a little desire! His intense eyes never fail to make me feel weak on my knees, with the other hand he wrapped the back of my neck and pulled my face closer.. "Believe me, the way I am trying to control myself is insane! " He whispered clenching his jaw, who is telling you to control? You don't have to be a gentleman all the time!!
When he noticed that I didn't move back nor flinch, he leaned forward.. I felt his hot breath on my lips , and in the middle of our cozy moment reality hit me.. I opened my eyes and made a safe distance.. Instead of getting frustrated, he pouted at me.. The sexy man just turned into a pookie real quick..
"Don't you dare to try such an act on me again! " I muttered, he smirked..
I ignored his smirk and turned back to leave . He held my hand again, "Why didn't you wear anything in blue! " he mentioned, I looked back at him.. "Because I didn't feel like to, " I mumbled, he made a little pout in disappointment. "No problem, I understand! " He said, leaving my hand..
"Wait, I have something for you! I have almost forgotten about it, " he dragged me till the mirror and made me stand in front of it.. While he was taking out something from his drawer, I was looking at myself... My cheeks were looking red.. He started putting something on my hair, I was confused.. "How's it looking? " He asked me, showing the back of my head through a small mirror in front of the big mirror..
It's so pretty, my eyes sparkled in happiness.. I had made two braids and tied it, he had applied the accessory so perfectly above it.. "Hmm good! " I muttered and walked ahead to leave, but again I was pulled by him into a bag hug.. My heartbeat increased in a second, I was already wearing a backless and it was brushing against chest giving me shivers throughout my body...
He brushed his cheek against my cheek, "I love you! " He whispered, his every single act was melting me. I have my own reasons to not get driven by his words.. I squeezed myself more onto him closing my eyes, as I felt his warmth comforting my soul, mind & body. He groaned audibly closing his eyes, his face depicted peace like I was the only thing he was craving for, like I was the medicine to his tired body..
"Let me go.....! " I muttered without putting any efforts to come out of his cage of arms which I call home.. "You haven't called my name for once after I came here, I am dying to here my name in your voice.. You haven't even responded to my confession as well! " He mumbled and brushed his nose on my neckbone, my breath hitched, blood ran to my cheeks..
"I will confess to you after I actually start trusting you again and about my calling you by your name, you can make call your name as well, Mr Rajvansh! " I said, pulling my inner cheek inside and rolling the tongue.. He broke our back and hug stared at me in the mirror.. "First earn my trust and then work on your double mind thoughts! " I said and left the room.
Of course there's only way he can make me call his name is make me moan! And I am sure he's a master in the art of making my body and mind miserable by his touch.. The way my heart is melting in a speed of light just by seeing his puppy face is concerning! I can't forgive him so soon because I am not able to forget the pain..
Just as I came outside, I saw Sharanya coming out of her room.. My jaw dropped instantly, she's looking breathtaking..
Her lehnga was so beautiful , she had draped the duppata around her shoulder, a pair of diamond necklace and earrings were making her look more attractive. She had done nude makeup and curled her hair towards the end part.. Overall she was looking hella gorgeous, bhai would go crazy after seeing her..
She stopped after seeing me.. I ran to her and hugged her.. "You are looking so pretty! " I gave her a compliment and took her balaye , "Your cheeks are looking red, umm what were you doing in bhai's room? " She teased me, "I mistakenly went to his room! " I mumbled, she nodded still giving me a teasing stare.
"A mistake went longer than fifteen minutes, " she teased me again.. I rolled my eyes and looked at other side.. "Oh I wonder, why bhai took this hair comb flower from Astha, " she addressed, my eyes widened.. "Did he snatch it away from her? " I said in shock , she chuckled.. "Don't worry! He has given her money for shopping, so took it and paid double amount. Astha got a new one for herself! " She mentioned, I sighed in relax..
(Astha, Ivan, Arya, Eva - cousins)
Ishani aunty took her outside.. I haven't talked with Ishani aunty from my side from that day.. I know she's trying to talk to me, but don't have the guts to approach me.. I didn't have anything against her, I was feeling bad for the way she behaved with my family, but her condition and state of mind was not right..
Mivan bhai & Sharanya took the center position of the stage, everyone has arrived.. My eyes roamed around the crowd in search of Abir. The brother of the bride is late for the function, woho!
The screaming of media people took my attention, I looked back towards Rajvansh house.. He just stepped out of the house which didn't go unnoticed by the media, so they were calling for him for the picture.. Rather than coming here, Abir went towards the photo booth.. That place was specially alerted for media, so they can capture every celebrity's picture in peace..
So many artist , businessmen and politicians were invited to the engagement and everyone were standing their for media while coming inside.. Abir first had a light conversation with the media, he was talking with them so sweetly.. There were female photographers as well, they were going crazy over him.. Who wouldn't? He's such a gentleman and today he was looking hot as well...
He clicked several pictures, I was behind the photo booth so I could hear what they're saying... They were asking a picture of Abir with me, "Mam doesn't like getting clicked by media! " Abir mentioned gently, the amount of butterflies I felt was insane.. Because of the way he addressed me 'mam'.. I headed towards the stage..
I never liked to pose for picture, because I feel self-conscious in front of so many cameras and I honestly don't like being clicked. One two photographs are enough, but when you call media , they will come with the whole gang & capture you from every possible angle which makes me annoyed..
I was standing near the stage, there's still time for ring exchange.. One by one everyone were going to the stage to greet the couple.. As Abir stepped on the stage , it drew my attention..
He was wearing a blazer over the white tee shirt, it's more like a casual but he's killing in it. I always find his veiny hand sexy and he had rolled up his sleeve till the elbow which was making him look sexier..He had mentioned that he would wear blue, but here it's white & black. As he stepped down the stage, he came to me.. "You were supposed to wear blue! " I mentioned, he had told me that he would wear blue..
"Yeah! That suit wouldn't have matched with your gown, so I preferred to wear this! " He said, a grin formed on the corner of his lips.. He wore something keeping me in his mind, it's another reason for my meltdown, but I kept a normal face.. We both went to the stage as the ring ceremony started..
I forwarded the ring to bhai and Abir gave the ring to Sharanya.. They both exchanged the ring, firecrackers burst around us.. We all screamed and shouted for them.. Abir hugged Sharanya while I hugged bhai.. As our whole family was there we clicked a family picture. One thing I loved about the family picture that they had kept Ruhaan in the frame. I love how nobody thinks of him as an outsider.. Abir was standing beside him only..
Bhai and Sharanya did a couple dance, after that a few couples joined them as well.. Some were busy taking their dinner.. Her parents and bhai's parents said something about their respective child and the engagement.. "Don't you think we should do a couple dance as well ? " Abir said, "No! " I said, I didn't want to take the attention..
Because if media will see us dancing together, they will start clicking us as it's about Abir.. I wanted all the focus to stay on bhai and Sharanya, so I refused.. He made another pout, I chuckled. A long life is ahead, we can dance anyday!
Everyone took their respective dinner after the guest left.. Mivan bhai and Sharanya have took one table, Rajvansh and Agarwals have taken others.. I was sitting with Abir, Ruhaan, Ayansh bhai .. I wonder what I was doing between the men.. You should take more of this.. It's the only dialogue Abir was repeating from the starting..
"Abir, she's not a baby.. She can ask for what she want! " Ruhan mocked Abir playfully, gritting his teeth. Of course he was annoying everyone by pampering me for the nth time.. I glared at him.. When papa came to me after dinner, Abir requested him saying he would drop me.. Papa asked for my permission, Abir was showing me his puppy eyes, so I couldn't say a No.. I sent my family and waited for Abir to drop me ..
The media has left.. We both headed outside, Abir was holding my heel in his hand because the length of the heel was giving me measure pain on my toes.. "The food was tasty nah? " He started, he was just trying to make a conversation with me.. I was smiling to myself.. As we were heading towards the open parking lot, we heard a media people badmouthing about me..
"She is so arrogant. Can't she stand for a moment to click a picture? What's so much attitude for? Just because she got a boyfriend who is everyone's dream boyfriend! " The male photographer said to another, I felt bad.. Abir clenched his jaw and tightened his fist.. Before he could go & punch him, I held his fist giving him a glare..
"Leave my hand! " He said gritting his teeth, "Let's go from here! " I said, pressing my tone.. "I said leave my hand, " he voiced, his eyes darkened, "If you won't come with me, I won't show you my face again! " As these words escaped from my mouth, the tension on his face released, he jerked my hand away and left for our car, I followed him..
"For this anger, I don't want to trsut you again! " I stated, he rolled his eyes and shrugged my words off .. His hands resting on his waist and a crease formed on his forehead.. "Why did you stop me? "
"What were you going to do? Beat the hell out of him just because he was badmouthing about me? " I questioned him , he gave me an are you serious look?
"I mean of course! Why would he say such things about you! "
"We are public figure Abir. You can't stop people from saying bad things about me. You get hate in a daily basis, does it offend you? " I asked him, he remained silent. "But I was there and it's about You. And I won't tolerate that! " He said, I let out a deep breath..
"For this reason I am not able to put my trust on you.. You just do everything without thinking the consequences, without looking back & forth.. He was from media, getting a picture would give him money. If he won't get it, it's obvious that he will be frustrated.. Even you know we all complaints against our senior employees in work place, because it's our frustration.. He doesn't know why I don't like getting clicked, so he made his own theory. Now if everyone will start saying about me, will you go & shut everyone's mouth? "
My words had no effect on him , he was still angry.. "And I don't want you to make more rivalry.. I want a happy peaceful life which you are not ready to provide, " I said, his face softened and he sighed.. "See, I can't tolerate people saying bad about you! " He mentioned the same thing again ..
"Then just ignore it.. The way you ignore hate against you, ignore it in that same way.. I want you to prioritize yourself over everyone, I want you to think about yourself first. Because if anything will affect you, I will be the one who will suffer the most.. Stop this fighting and all.. I don't want you to fight for me, all I want us to leave a peaceful life because we have suffered enough! " I said, my tone was breaking towards the end as the past started coming to my mind again..
"Okay, I won't do that again! " He said in a rigid tone, still looking mad at me or my points..
"You won't do what? " I resorted..
"Fighting over these things! " He replied making an angry pout..
"Promise me! " I said, forwarding my hand, he looked at my palm and then at me and shook his head negatively.. "I gave you words, that's enough, " he said, my eyes scrutinized..
"Okay, I would promise you, but in one condition! " He mentioned in a playful voice, I looked confused.. "I want a kiss! " He said, I glared at him even though his words gave me butterflies.. I crossed my hands over my chest and took a step ahead. Of course my simple stare terrified him.. "Are you just making a deal for a kiss? " I stated, "That's not fair, I want a kiss, " he cried making another pout.. I was enjoying his state..
"Okay! Then you don't have to take this promise, I am not going trust you, nor going to kiss you, " I said casually, he flared his nose and pulled his lips outward to one side, I was controlling my laugh..
"Okay, I promise that I won't raise my hands until and unless the situation demands! " He said, pressing his palm against mine.. A smile of admiration plastered on my side lips . He still had the pout on his lips.. "Bend down! " I ordered, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion..
"Do what I said! " I commanded, he shrugged off and bent down.. I stood on my toes and placed my lips on his cheek, his eyes widened.. My lips rested on his cheek for the next ten seconds and then I pulled myself back.. "This side! " He said showing the other side of his cheek, I gave him a look.. "You are asking too much! " I said, controlling my laugh , showing a straight face ..
"Please! " He muttered , how could I say a no to such a cute approach.. I leaned forward, I was going to place my lips on his right cheek, but he turned his face towards me and our lips joined making my heart beat faster than before.. He didn't kiss , nor I, we just had our lips on each other for a moment which felt like forever..
I moved back and hit his shoulder, he gave me a satisfactory smile and opened the car door for me.. I was feeling butterflies, I could feel the kiss in my every bone even though it's not a proper kiss and it lasted just for a few seconds.. It felt so special, my heart was screaming, I wanted to scream, there's a valconic eruption inside me..
As he started the engine, I looked outside not because I didn't want to face him, but I wasn't able to face him. I don't understand why a kiss made me feel so awkward and shy! Maybe we haven't kissed each other before, when I was drunk I had kissed him which I don't remember and when he confessed me in the concert he had kissed me, I wasn't not in a state of mind to enjoy it..
So yeah! It's our first official kiss, a kiss can make my heart so filled and tender, I didn't know that.. I was constantly blushing to myself, as I was expecting he was smiling ear to ear while driving.. The whole drive to my house was silent.. He stopped the car in front of the Agarwal house, I saw papa waiting for me in the garden..
I didn't want to leave him, I wanted to hug him, wanted to spend time with him, wanted to kiss him, wanted him to make love to me. There's a long list.. But when you kiss after a long interval, it keeps the excitement alive in a relationship. Moreover we have just started knowing each other, so I wanted to give us a space..
"I should leave now! " I said, he nodded and came to my side and opened the door for me.. While stepping out of the car we had a little eye contact, but it was impossible for me to hold an eye contact, his intense eyes were dangerous.. "Just because you made a promise and we had a kiss, that doesn't mean I fully forgave you! " I reminded him, making my tone strict..
He nodded, still smiling like a fool.. I stepped inside the Agarwal house boundary and turned back to check if he left or not.. He left just after I turned back, he was waiting for me to look at him.. I smiled to myself, I was falling for him head over heal, again!
Papa smiled looking at me, I was giggling inside but maintained a small innocent smile on my lips.. We both went inside, he asked me about Abir & my relationship progression, I didn't feed him with much details, but told him that it's going good as of now...
