CBG#1 CHASING HER (UNDERGOING EDITING)

Chp:-11 History Repeats (EDITED)

NATASHA ALIA SINGHANIA

The maid of honors, including Nicole, Nupur, two childhood friends, and myself, were busy taking pictures with the bride, Katie, in her mansion. Katie's dad was capturing the moments, and afterward, we clicked pictures with Riya and Ishika too.

Katie's mom expressed her gratitude, saying, "Natasha, my child, you've been a tremendous help. The accessories, dresses, jewelry, and everything are just perfect, dear. Thank you so much!"

Katie added, "Natzee babe, thanks a lot. I loved everything. Thanks for doing Eric's suit and the ring. Thanks for the makeup, both you and Riya; it's just perfect." I smiled.

Due to the makeup artist's last-minute sickness, Katie insisted that I do her makeup, and Riya assisted. Afterward, we left for the church where the wedding ceremony was taking place. The bridesmaids' dresses were rich navy blue one-piece gowns, Katie's favorite color. Arriving at the wedding venue, I noticed an advertisement for a renowned architectural firm, and I took a quick picture, planning to explore it later. The wedding venue was beautifully decorated, and Eric, looking handsome, eagerly awaited his bride.

During the ceremony, I ran into a few of my Yale batchmates exchanged pleasantries, and while wandering around, I felt thirsty. On the way to get water, I slipped, but Rohan, once again, saved me. Dressed in a classy grey Armani suit, he looked remarkably handsome.

Our eyes locked, and he complimented me, saying, "You're looking very pretty today, Miss. Natasha Alia Singhania." He took my hand, kissed it, and even gave a peck on my lips.

He said, "you're looking very pretty today Miss. Natasha Alia Singhania." He took the back of my hand and kissed it. He gave me a peck on my lips.

I blushed. I don't know why but he has a crazy effect on me. I smiled widely.

I asked, "are you following me? How come you come everywhere wherever I go?"

He chuckled and said, "me, Eric, Oleg, Henry, Daksh and Sameer are very good friends since our MBA days. We're business partners too. They're all billionaires like us."

I said, "oh ok. So you're the best man?"

He said, "yes one of the best men of the groom."

He was holding two bottles of water.

I hesitantly asked, "Rohan uhm...... uh... can I uhm..... have a bottle of water. I'm feeling damn thirsty." He smiled and shook his head.

He gave one more peck on my lips and said, "of course Alia babe. You need not hesitate for that. We're friends since childhood after all. Here have water. Let me know if you need anything else." I smiled.

He responded with another peck on my lips, "Of course, Alia babe. You need not hesitate. We've been friends since childhood, after all. Here, have water. Let me know if you need anything else." Surprisingly, he refrained from using his usual nicknames for me, and I couldn't help but wonder at this sudden change in his demeanor.

No no no Alia. Don't think about him. He's a heartbreaker. Chuck him out of your mind. Why did I even let him give me a peck on my lips. The attraction between us is just weird. Argh..............

Soon the ceremony started. We were all busy in the ceremony. Eventually the main part of the wedding came when the priests said, "Ladies and gentlemen presenting to you, Mr and Mrs. Samuelson. Now you may kiss the bride." Eric gave a passionate kiss to Katie and we cheered for them. Later they met everyone and clicked pictures. We also clicked pictures with them.

The wedding ceremony continued, and later, Eric expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thanks a lot, Natzee, for everything. We love you. You're truly like a little sister to me. We owe you a lot, girl. You've done a lot to make our wedding special."

Katie embraced me warmly and planted a kiss on my cheeks. I grinned and replied, "Anything for my best friend."

Eric then announced, "Okay, now we'll have a dance session. Everyone has to dance with a partner, so find one for yourself."

I protested, "No, please. Dancing is not my cup of tea, bro."

Rohan insisted, "Come on, babe. Dance with me. I'll make you comfortable."

Encouraged by Katie, who said, "Yeah, you should go and dance with him. He dances really well. Come on, you can't say no to me. Come, come, Eric, let's go. See you all later."

Our dance was enchanting, and as the music played, we got lost in each other's eyes. Rohan drew me closer, and the romantic atmosphere compelled us to share a kiss. It felt similar to the one seven years ago, evoking a mixture of emotions.

I pulled away, apologizing, "Uhm... I'm hungry. I'll see you later. I'm going to eat with Ishika and Riya. Uhm... sorry."

I went inside.

Nicole inquired, "Are you and Ronny together?"

Nupur remarked, "You guys looked so in love while kissing."

Riya added, "Your chemistry is the best."

Ishika suggested, "I think you should give him a chance. He genuinely likes you. Look at the way he's looking at you; it says it all. Give him a chance."

Glancing towards Rohan, it seemed he hadn't taken his eyes off me for a moment.

In unison, my friends exclaimed, "Yeah, you should give him a chance."

Suddenly, a young girl approached and said, "This rose is for you, given by Ronny," before giggling and running away.

I retorted, "Oh, so you guys are trying to set me up with him without knowing what I feel? Guys, please give me a break."

Ignoring the calls from my friends, I left the wedding venue and returned to the mansion. I packed my belongings and went to sleep immediately.

In the early morning, around 2 am, I left without anyone knowing.

I was furious. How could he use my friends? Can't he himself do something to win my heart if at all he wants to? And my friends including Katie Eric had planned everything. I don't understand why they want to set me up. I'm happy being single.

I DON'T WANNA GET INTO THIS RUBBISH MESS.................

ROHAN DEV RAICHAND

History repeated itself, and my lack of control led to an unexpected kiss, reminiscent of seven years ago. The hormones got the better of me. Natasha felt awkward and retreated, mentioning she was hungry. She returned later for a brief moment, but the night ended with her leaving abruptly.

Oleg inquired, "What happened, bro?"

Nicole responded, "She's upset. She's not interested in getting into a relationship. She disappeared after that."

Nupur added, "She found out that we were trying to set you up with her, and it made her angry."

Ishika said, "I told you guys this was a bad idea."

Riya said, "Babe it's evidently obvious that these two are meant to be. Everyone could see the sparks flying Alia is in denial."

Henry said, "It's not the right time to discuss all this guys."

Just then, Nicole received a call. After hanging up, she shared, "Natasha has left for Washington DC. Katie's mom mentioned that she seemed upset, and her dad dropped her off at the airport."

I reassured, "She needs time. Let's wait and see what unfolds. I'll be patient. If it's meant to be, something will happen."

Ishika offered, "I'll try talking to her once we're in DC."

I declined, saying, "No, it's alright."

Oleg expressed optimism, "Everything will be fine."

Henry chimed in, "If your feelings are genuine, you'll win her over. Don't worry."

I nodded with a smile. Soon, we all left.

I held on to the hope that things would eventually take a positive turn.

I HOPE THAT THINGS BECOME GOOD AGAIN....................
