•Chapter- 8•

I made my way inside the party room from the balcony trying not to come across any of my family members when I heard

"Arvi!!" Radha Ma's voice stopped me from my self-muttering and my feet on tracks as I was running inside and I closed my eyes in pain.

"Here she is! Where did you go beta? We all are searching for you!" Kishan Uncle said and I smiled sheepishly at them.

"I wasn't feeling that good so took some brownies and went out to sit and eat" I said smiling nervously and they shook their heads at me.

"You should've at least told us beta. You go upstairs and take a rest. We will handle it down here" Kishan Uncle said and Radha Ma opened her mouth to protest only to be cut off.

"Radha, I know you want her to mingle with everyone but my daughter is tired and anyways now everyone did see her and from now on she has to meet these people in one way or another at any time so let her go and have some rest" He said in a no-nonsense tone to which Ma complied but then asked.

"What did you eat?" She asked and without thinking I told her.

"I think five brownies" I said trying to remember when I got a smack on my head.

"Ouch woman! It hurts!!" I said and she looked at me in anger.

"How many times do I need to tell you that you need to eat something properly and then have dessert? You had five brownies and that's your dinner?" She asked and I then realized my mistake. Fuck!

"It's fine na Maa! I love brownies! It's so filling. I am so full!" I said rubbing my belly with a satisfied expression making her fume further and Kishan Uncle to stifle his laughter at my expense.

"I am not letting you go to bed with just five brownies you come with me right now Arvi" she said sternly and before I can even protest she is dragging me to the food section.

I looked back to Kishan Uncle and kept a crying face and he just shrugged his shoulders and blew me a kiss. I turned back pouting as she started serving me some snacks and pulao and whatnot.

After Radha Maa was satisfied that she stuffed me with enough food that is enough for at least two days, she then let me go.

I sighed in relief and before she says anything else I said good night to her and skipped to my room.

As soon as I entered my room, I shut the door and leaned against it closing my eyes.

"Holy Moly" I whispered to myself as I remembered what happened before. How close I was to Abheer. His cologne, his presence, his voice..............

Fuck that was hot!!! And damn this party for not letting me have my moment with my man!

Well.....I guess I haven't told you guys about this part of my life! Oops! Sorry!

Well Abheer and I have been dating since the past six years. Since we were around our 20's. And nobody except the youngsters know about this. I mean those are a lot of people but yeah.

Abheer and I have always been close since we were kids. Maybe cuz he is the first boy in the family and am the first girl. We just clicked and he was my anchor during........darker times. We just clicked and we used to share so many secrets about each other which no one else knows.

When I left......it was a very tough decision which I had to go with. For three years we spoke to each other through phone. We didn't meet at all as I was adjusting to a lot of things and he too.

One day he came to Banglore for a college trip kind of thing and he proposed to me. I mean, Abheer has been an intimidating and serious guy since we were kids. He never even let any kids come close to me ever. Our parents used to joke about his overprotectiveness over me saying he is keeping me to himself but well......they manifested it!

When he proposed to me, I was blank and didn't even know what to reply with. Back then I was filled with insecurities due to a lot of things that happened so I rejected his proposal even though I liked him so much and he went back to Mumbai.

We didn't speak properly for that entire year and I couldn't stay away from him. It was torture being away from him when we came so close.

When we met again after an year as everyone came to Banglore for a vacation and we went to Coorg? That's when I couldn't let my insecurities win and we got together. Ever since then, we have been inseparable and I love him with everything in me.

We slowly broke it to our friends after a while and asked them to keep it a secret from our parents atleast until we are settled.

I smiled remembering the frustrated look on his face when I was coming back inside. Abheer hates being away from me, especially physically and denying him that is quite fun!

I took off my dress and the jewelry and changed into a t shirt and shorts. I fell on the bed and sighed as my back hit the comfy mattress.

"This is literal heaven yaar!" I moaned and suddenly there was a knock on my door. Thinking it could be Sia or Tara maybe I went and opened the door to see it was none other than my boyfriend who ditched his suit and is now in his tee shirt and joggers. Yummy!!

"What are you doing here?" I asked looking around to see if anybody saw him infront of my room. He just brushed past me and came inside and I immediately closed the door and locked it.

"They let you get out of there?" I asked him and he smirked.

"I am Abheer Chauhan habibi, one doesn't need to allow me for anything. You said there was a party downstairs so we can't do anything and I haven't even hugged you properly for a month so here I am" he said and pulled me onto his lap.
