A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 187

Rohit looked absolutely shell shocked.
His mouth hung open.

'Kya hua? Itna bura tha?'

Rohit still continued to stare, the glass lifted in his hand.

'Ab mun to band kar lo, maloom hua yahan ke machar, makhi ghuss gaye to?'

That broke his trance, and he threw his head back, laughing.

'What even? Machar, makhi? Trust you to spoil a romantic moment, Sona!'

'Ab poem kaisi thi, woh to bataya nahin..mazaq urrwa lo bas in se..'
Sonakshi put her arms in front of her chest, and pouted like a kid.

'No! No! I wasn't making fun of that! Believe me! That was..just beautiful!'

Rohit quickly put his glass down, got up from his seat, and kneeled down in front of her. He put down her glass as well, and took her hands in his.

'Itna khoobsurat tha..sach mein. Tum ne kab se likhna..'

'I've been trying since after we got married. Socha tha kabhi, kisi aise moqay pe tumhe sunaungi. I wrote, re wrote, then rewrote some more. Phir usse yaad kar liya..'

'It was beautiful, Sona! Thankyou! From the bottom of my heart!'

He reached up and pecked her lips. As he made to move, Sonakshi held his head, and gave him a proper kiss. If Rohit was surprised, he didn't show it, reaching up a hand to hold her neck, to deepen the kiss. They kissed, and then broke the kiss, when they had to.

'Sona..'

Sonakshi moved back, and made him get up.

'Toast to khatam karo..'

He sat back down, and they both clinked the glasses together. Sonakshi took just a sip, while Rohit took a deep swallow.

Sonakshi gave him a look.

'Go low on the bubbly! I need you..'
His eyebrows shot up.
'In your senses..'

'I don't need this anyways! Saara nasha to tumhe dekh ke hi charh jaata hai..'
His eyes twinkled in the candle's glow.

'Oh! Another name added!'

'To what?'

'The list!'
Sonakshi leaned over to remove the dish covers.

'What list, Sona?'
Rohit looked blank, as he picked up his fork to eat.

'Wow! Pasta! And salad!'
She took a bite.
'This is good!'

'Aray, batao na..kon si list?'
Rohit took a bite of his grilled chicken.

'The list of names you have given me..drug, addiction, the blood in your veins..and now nasha..I like nasha!'

'Well, you are my pehla nasha..'

Sonakshi rolled her eyes.

'Actor ho na, to filmy ho hi jaate ho..but koi nahin, I'm flattered!'

They laughed together.

'Oh, I forgot! Yeh to tumne dekha hi nahin!'
Rohit lifted the small jewellery box from the table.

'Yeh kya hai?'

'Khol ke dekho na!'

Sonakshi opened the box, and was dazzled by the lights the stones threw, even in the low lights.
Inside was a thin, elegant diamond bracelet, the diamonds set in such a way, that it said 'SR'.

'That's not for Sonakshi Rastogi! It's for Sonakshi Rohit!'

'It's so beautiful! But you shouldn't have! It looks so expensive!'
