"She looked like she could murder me and I didn't expect Mrithun to do this. He placed his hand on my lower stomach and said " is my baby and my girl hungry? Come on guys let's grab some food for you" he said and took my hand. That girl's facial expression was priceless. Once we moved away from her. We both started laughing hard."

*****************************************

We both started to laugh at each other but then my cramps started. Damn you cramps, I thought to myself. I held my stomach tightly.

Mrithun came forward and hold my hands.

" Come on, let's get going. As soon as we finish eating I will take you home. So that you could rest. We could...we could spend our time some other day." He whispers the last words.

With that, he pushed me to the next section but I stopped and turned towards him.

Before I could stop myself, I said,

" No... I mean I could manage. I don't wanna go home,yet. I...hmm...I wanna be with you." I looked at my foot and not looking at his face. He lifted my chin and looked at me.

" I'm glad that you feel the same. But with your cramps. I can't stand that you are in pain. Let's call..." I stopped him by placing my hand and repeated his words.

" You blabber too much. Next time my hand won't stop your." I said and he smirked at me.

He kissed my palms and immediately removed them from his mouth and glared at him. He always has his way with me.

" I look forward to it Ms. Shristi." He teased and winked at me. God, what is he doing to me?

I got away from him and got comfortable pants to pair with them. With that, I made my way into the trail room and changed it.

When I came out, he was busy talking with someone on the phone. I caught his attention and signed him whether it's okay and mouthed me ' hot' and fanned himself.

I rolled my eyes at him and quickly got changed. I took those to the billing counter and before I could pay, he paid and gave me a shrug.

I groaned at him and went to change the dress quickly. Once done I made mine to him. He held my hand and took out the bag from me. And shook my head at him.

" What do you wanna eat?" He asked me and I carved for something spicy and sweet.

" I want something spicy as well as sweet," I ordered him and he shook his buy.

" Okay, let's see. We could order Briyani, shawarma, and some hot and spice fried chicken momos. Later we could get some ice cream or milkshake." He suggested and I shook my head eagerly at him.

He laughed at me and asked me to find a seat while he ordered the food. Soon he came with our orders. We started to dig in with our meal.

We laughed and shared our childhood experiences. Once done he asked me,

" Now what babe? You said you don't want to go home. What shall we do?" He questioned me.

I looked at him and asked, " When was the last time did you watch a movie in a theater?"

He replied, " I don't know maybe 6 or 7 years. Can't remember." I looked at him like he was crazy.

" what the hell? You haven't watched a single movie?" I asked him.

He shrugged and said, " Not completely, I watched few of them on tv, that also only for a few minutes. I...Mostly avoided anything that remains me of her.  watching movies with her and her friends."

I stayed silent but then after a few minutes, I started to speak.

" Maybe, we could change that? We could watch a movie?" I asked him hopefully and he smiled at me.

" Your wish is my command. We could watch one, Come on." He said to me and I instantly stood up.

He chuckled at my antics. I made my way towards Keventers and ordered a large chocolate milkshake with topping and I paid for it while he was busy talking on the phone.

" Busy?" I asked him while sipping at my drink and hold it to him. He took a sip and cut the call.

"Yes, what to do? If you are CEO and have to manage 2 big companies I kinda have to be busy." He said and I playfully punched his arms.

With that, we made it to the cinema section. Most of the shows were full but something caught my attention.

" Look there is a special show of Aquaman. Can we please watch it? You will love it!" I gave my best expression to give in and he did fall for my charms.

" Okay let's go." With that, he bought the tickets along with my tantrum for paying them.

" Trust me girl, I have more money than you could imagine and I want to spend on you. Come on, Don't be mad at me." He said to me. Nothing can change him.

With that, we made our way inside the hall and took our seats. Then a thought came to my mind and took my phone out.

" Come on, let's take a picture." I said to him and he sighed at me then agreed anyway. He took some.

" Let's take, once the movie gets over okay?" He asked me and I said 'okay' to him. That's when I noticed most of the girls were staring at him.

I looked at them and hooked my arms with his and laid my head on his shoulder. Okay, this will convey to them.

Yes, girls, he is taken. While I was busy scowling at them this sneaky over grown gaint wrapped his arms around me whispered in my ears.

" I like it when you are jealous, baby. But you don't have to worry I'm all yours." He said and bit my ear lobe lightly and an involuntary soft moan escapes my lips and I immediately buried my face on his chest.

He chuckles at me and the lights started to dim. That's when he lifted my face and hold it in one hand he looked at me and kissed my forehead then a small peck on my lips.

God, this man does not have any manners. What will others think?

"Now all the guys in here know that you are mine. Do you have any idea how they were eyeing you?" His voice was deep when said those.

He pulled me closer to him and placed his hands on my stomach, and started to give a slight massage. I relaxed under his touch.

One thing I have to say, He enjoyed the movie so much. He was giving running comments in my ears and I was giggling at it.

By the time the movie was ended, it was 6:30 in the evening and I received a call from my parents. That's my cue I have to be home soon.

" Mom called me and asked me to be home soon," I said to him with a frown on my face. 

" Dont be sad, baby. We will meet again okay? We have our office tomorrow. I think it's best and you need to take a rest." He encouraged me and I gave him a sad smile. We took some photos and made our way towards parking.

Before I could enter Mrithun pinned me to his car and I was taken by surprise.

" Hey, look at me. Don't be sad okay? Just wait for a few months and you will be with me." He said to me and I blushed at him.

He placed a soft wet kiss on my cheeks and looked at my lips. He leaned closer to capture my lips.

I was breathing heavily. I could feel his breath on my face he was so close and I closed my eyes. I waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened.

I opened my eyes to look at him and his eyes captured mine. He had a stupid smirk on his face. I haven't seen his face this close. Everything about him was flawless and perfect.

" As much as I want to taste your sweet lips baby. We need to get going unless if you want your father to send his police force to capture me." He pulled my legs and we both started to laugh.

With that, he opened the door for me and made his way around. On the way, we enjoyed ourselves and so engrossed in our conversation that I forgot we reached my house.

" Come inside. You can leave once you met them. That way, I could save the lectures from my parents." I said to him and gave me a sweet smile.

By the time I reached home, it was 8 pm. We both entered the house and surprised to see everyone there.

" It's about time you got her home, brother. I thought you guys eloped from here." Tarun teased his brother and everyone started to laugh.

" Oh, believe me. If it's not you guys I would have kidnapped the day I saw her." Mrithun gave his comment and everyone except three people in this room was not happy and glaring daggers at me. Who are they?

" So what you guys have decided?" Mrithun's father asked eagerly.

And to answer his question. He pulled me by my waist and wrapped his arms around me. Then he kissed me on my side head and said to all in a clear, confident voice.

" Does this answer your questions? Cause there no going back now." And me being me hid myself in his chest. And everyone let out aw and squeal.

" Finally my boy got his mind out of the gutter. Mohan when can I bring my daughter to our house?" Mrithun's father asked my dad and he replied,

" Whenever you are ready to give away your son to me. I always wanted a son."

To this, all of us. That is, I and my sister protested and my dad quickly added,

" But my daughters are no less for a son. I'm grateful for having these beautiful souls as our children." Dad gave us a sweet smile while we glared at him.

This made everyone laugh and the devil by my side, joined along with others and I pinched him in his arms to shut him up. He did but so did others. They gave us a knowing smirk.

God, can't they be any more obvious. But I felt someone digging death holes on me. I felt uncomfortable.

It was the same girl. I slowly pulled Mrithun lower to me so that I could whisper in his ears.

" Mrithun, who is that girl over there? She is giving me a creepy look." He looked to who I'm mentioning. He smiled at me and said,

" That's Nethra. My aunt's daughter. Do you see the couple's over there? They are her parents and my father's sister, Yamuna and her husband Ravi. They also have a son Raghav. He is currently in London studying his master's."

" Oh, but is she looks at me like I had stolen something from her. Not only that but her parents also staring at me?" I asked him.

" That's because you stole something from her," He said and I looked confused.

" But this is the first time I'm seeing her and how the hell I would have stolen something of hers?" I whisper yelled at him, and chuckled.

" Baby, now you don't get mad? I think it's probably your mood swings." This one standing by side is playing with me. I glared at him and he sighed.

" Okay...okay. She had shown interest in me since we were kids. But I haven't felt anything for her. I can't understand one thing. She didn't have any problem when I bought Dharani home. Moreover, she supported my relationship." Mrithun said while frowning as he realized himself.

I took his arms and said, " Maybe she would have known that the relationship you had would not last so why not entertain her."

Mrithun closed his eyes and clenched his jaws.

" Baby, can we not talk about her. I think we had talked about her enough for one day. Please?" He requested me and I nodded my head.

" Okay, if you two over there finished can you guys take your seat so that we could discuss further?" Dad asked us and raised his eyebrows at us.

I smiled at him and made my way over but Mrithun hands didn't leave mine.

"Brother if you don't leave her how could you expect her to move?" Harish teased his brother and Mrithun scowled at him and eventually left me. I gave him a sweet smile and he returned the favor. "Your son is whipped," someone said but I could still feel 3 pairs of eyes on me.
