Riddhima’s POV

I hurried to the guest house and took a shower. Ruhi just then entered.

“Didn’t you lock the door?”, she asked.

“I forgot to lock the door after Raj came in.”, I replied.

“Oh is he here now?”, she enquired.

“No . He was in the garden last time I saw”, I said.

“Okay! Let me also take a quick shower!”, she said hurrying towards the bathroom.

I dressed up in a red satin evening dress. It was sleeveless and had a V- neckline which was studded and had a bow type belt. I tied my hair up in a bun and let a few strands outline my face. I wore the earings that Raj got me sinced they matched with my dress. I wore an eyeliner to highlight my best feature.

Ruhi wore a navy blue dress which came upto an inch above her knees. She let her hair open and wore a butterfly necklace.

“Vihaan got these for me today!”, She said like an excited school girl.

“Wow! It is really pretty. Vihaan has a great taste in girl's accessories”, I said.

“Yea he does. By the way, boys will meet us at Raj’s place. So they asked us to come as soon as we get ready”, She said.

After 15 mins, we rang the doorbell of Raj’s mansion.

Bahadur kaka opened the door and greeted us.

“Good evening ladies! You look lovely today!”, he said welcoming us.

“Good evening!”, Ruhi greeted with a smile.

“Good evening kaka, you look good too”, I replied.

He gave a hearty smile,”Boys are waiting in the dining room. Please proceed”.

As we entered the dining room, Ruhi and I gasped. It was as big as my entire house in Chennai. A wooden dining table which could seat around 48 people rested in the middle of the room. The cutleries were silver and the china looked classy.

The boys were standing in the corner of the room near the fireplace. I guess they were cracking some joke because they were laughing pretty loud.

Just then they turned towards us.

Vihaan raced towards Ruhi and gave a kiss on the cheek and said, ”Ruhi, you just know how to take my breath away!”.

Her cheeks became red.

Vihaan was wearing the same thing that he wore in the morning since he directly went to Raj’s house after dropping Ruhi at the guest house.

Raj was wearing a Black turtle neck with white jeans. This made him look very fair.

He came towards me and said, ”You just a give a new definition of beauty whenever I see you”.

“Even you look like a greek god!”, I exclaimed.

This made him laugh.

“Look at you two! Red and black. A fiery combination I must say!”, ruhi exclaimed.

Raj and I looked at each other. I could not help myself but stare at his muscular frame and his face. I guess he was also appreciating me.

“I see that you are wearing the ear rings that I gave”, he said giving a playful smile.

“Fortunately it matched the dress that I wore, and it is so beautiful that it should be shown off”, I saidgiving a wicked smile.

“Alright! Everyone is here already. Good! Let us start the dinner shall we?”, Mrs khandelwal said as she entered the dining room.

“Hello Mrs. Khadelwal”, Vihaan , Ruhi and I said together.

“Hello! Ladies you look stunning and Vihaan you are turning out to be a very handsome young man!”, she said with a smile.

We all replied with a smile.

“Aunty, Won’t uncle be joining us?”, Vihaan enquired.

Mrs. Khandelwal cleared her throat and replied, “He is busy attending an important meeting so he won’t be able to make it. He feels very sorry about it”.

Raj let out a sigh.

We started the dinner. It consisted of various cuisines like Chinese, Italian, continental and Indian.

It was pleasing to the palette and delicious.

After the dinner, Mrs.Khandelwal escorted us to the door and said,”hope you girls have enjoyed the stay. When is your flight?”.

“We have and the boys made it sure. Our flight is tomorrow morning from delhi. Thank you for letting us use the guest house”, I replied.

“The pleasure was all mine. Good night ladies!”, she said and started to go up the flight of stairs.

“Ok girls, go and sleep as soon as possible because you need to get up early tomorrow. I’ll  be dropping you people to the airport and vihaan will also accompany me.”, Raj reminded us.

After wishing each other good night, we went towards the guest house.

The next day, as raj had promised , he came to pick us up along with Vihaan.

Raj was wearing the jacket that I had given him.

After noticing it, I looked at Raj who gave me a acknowledging smile.

We started the journey by playing games and making fun of each other. Then I got all the pictures that we took in our trip from Raj’s mobile.

After that I don’t know when I dozed off to sleep.

“Ridhz , wake up. We have reached the airport”, someone whispered in my ears.

With lot of difficulty I woke up. The boys were already outside helping with the luggage.

“Ruhi, I am still sleepy!”, I said yawning.

“Babe! You can sleep as soon as you board the plane. Now if you don’t move your lazy ass, we might miss it”, Ruhi said.

Just then I remembered to call my mom. I took out my phone and dialled her number.

After a lot of instructions and goodbyes, I finally cut the call after 15 minutes.

We proceeded towards the departure gate from the parking lot. As we reached there,

Ruhi and Vihaan went to a corner to say their own goodbyes.

“Ridhz! This was the best trip I had in my life. I hope you enjoyed it too. If I have hurt you in any way then please forgive me because it wasn’t intentional”, Raj said.

“I have enjoyed this trip to the core because of you guys and you have never hurt me so don’t worry”, I said reassuring.

Just then , Vihaan and Ruhi returned.

“Ridhz and ruhi have a safe journey and call as soon as you people reach your respective homes. Ok?”, Vihaan reminded us.

“Ok!”, Ruhi and I said in unision.

“Bye and safe journey!”,Raj wished Ruhi and i.

After bidding our goodbyes , we entered the departure gate bringing this wonderful trip to an end.
