[On Hold]
Arushi Khanna , the daughter of well reputed family got raped when she was just16 years old . After that incident/night, her life changed upside down .The favourite child of the family became the most unwanted one . The feisty girl whom th...
"Oh, Arushi!"Anna and I both had tears in our eyes. I told Anna everything. I knew I should not be telling her everything but the comfort that I feel around her made me blabber everything.
"I am so sorry, Arushi. How much I wish I was there with you when you were suffering? And why don't you tell Randhir about your cousin, you should not hide it from him." Anna suggested. "Please, Anna. Let's just not talk about it anymore. I am already tired of crying. My head is aching." I told her, cupping my head. I had this really bad habit of getting a headache after crying. It's irritating.
I unlocked my phone and handed it to Anna,"Please message Randhir the address and also tell that he can come now." She nodded and texted him. She gasped at something,"Bro, he is a world famous businessman. Girl you are so lucky to have such a handsome and hot guy as your husband. Not even a boyfriend but a permanent husband. Wow." She exclaimed. I blushed hard.
I hear the ting sound of notification. I took my phone back and checked on it to find a reply from Randhir.
Randhir- 'Wait there. I am coming in 15 minutes.'
I replied to him with only a smiling emoji.
After a silent 10 minutes, I noticed Randhir entering the Café with all his glory. Holy mother of chocolate chips..my man was looking so hot. His stern face and that black sunglasses. AHEM! He removed the glasses as his eyes glanced around the room finally landing on me. With a smirk, he came to us.
Hanging his coat on the chair, he sat in the chair. "Hi!" Anna squeaked. "Hello..!" He greeted her with a calm tone. I pinched Randhir and actioned him to smile. He smiled at Anna.
"I can not believe the hottest business tycoon is sitting in front of me." She shyly whispered. I narrowed my eyes. She is behaving weird. "Then believe it." He simply said, looked at me. "If you guys are done, can we leave ?" He queried. "Yeah, sure." Anna told, and stood up, chuckling. We got up and went out.
"Randhir, take care of her." Anna spoke, giving me a last look and left.
We got into the car when Randhir suddenly started speaking,"What is it, Arushi?"
My head jerked up,"W-What?" "You think it's okay to not share anything with me. Why are you like this? Why do you so much love to hide everything from me?" He raised his voice, making me flinch. He gripped on my arms,"You think I am a fool. I don't know anything. Your eyes are fucking swollen. They have turned pale red. You were fucking crying and here I am fucking don't know why you were crying ? What is upsetting you? It's okay if you didn't do well in your exam, you can try again. It's not a matter of crying."
"It-It's not about exams. It was good." I mumbled under my breath.
"Then what's the matter, huh? Why the heck you can't come to me and just fucking speak? You just met that friend of yours a few months ago and you got so freaking close to her and bloody hell, I am trying to comfort you for almost a year." He loosened my seat belt and brought me closer. Even I was unaware of it.
"Do you even care about my feelings? Do you even think what I think ? Do you-" I huffed and before he could speak further I popped a lollipop in his mouth. I frowned,"Why are you scolding me without knowing anything? It isn't anything. I share everything with you. I care about you as well. I-I was sharing my past with Anna. T-That is why, I didn't realise when I was crying. I am sorry if this fact hurts you a lot." I pouted my lips, fidgeting my fingers and looking down.
I heard Randhir sighing. He pulled me from my place and hugged me,"I am sorry, Angel. I got furious for no reason. Believe me or not, when you cry, when I see tears in your eyes, I lose my temper. I had promised your brother to take care of you and I feel as if my small mistake could simply make me break it. I am so damn scared to lose you, my angel!" He sniffled my perfume, making me shiver.
"I am not leaving you, at any cost." He said before pulling away. We both shared silence of comfort and understanding. I felt a warm hand on my head,"Let's have some time together, shall we?" His words brought a smile to my face. "Hmm..!", I hummed, positively.
He drove straight to our favorite Italian Restaurant. With my hand tangled into his elbow, we both walked in. As both his duffle bag and my backpack were in the car, spending the best moments of their lives, we were feeling nothing but burden-free.
Between Couples some 'together-time' is actually important. Taking a break from their work, workloads, jobs, duties, etc. and spending some valuable moments with the favourite person, can be the best time ever. And I was stating it means I meant it.
We went to the second floor and went to our usual seat. "Would you like to order the same?" He queried. I bobbed my head in happiness. He gave our order to the waiter,"One Arancini, two Pasta e fagioli and a bottle of red wine."

The Arancini were my most favourites. No doubt, I love Italian food for their cheesiness. The pasta e fagioli soup was something I could have on a daily basis. However our fitness freak Randhir Malhotra would never let me have them daily, ever.
But now that I have them here, I'm gonna let my tummy and taste buds have an advantage, each milli-second of their lives.
"I love 'em!" After a bite, I threw my head back and moaned with delight. I heard a small deep chuckle.
