BEWITCHED

Chapter 3rd

DAKSH'S pov

"I'm driving back to Surat in morning."
Athrav interjected from the passenger seat as we were in our way to hotel.

"Hmm..? And from whose permission young man?"
Choti maa inquired from behind making him a little stiff. He was bossy around everyone expect her.

"Maa I have a important meeting to attend and I don't think there's anything I'm needed for."

"I also have to attend college, I will be accompanying you."
Aarav's reply came from behind, making me scoff.

"Since when did you started thinking about studies."

"I do go to college, bhai."

"Yeah, just to get involve in fights..., ouch bhai, look at him."

Athrav turned to them, glancing a little at Aarav he replied
"Done."

"Bhaiiiii !!!!"

"Ohho, bas karo tum log, aur tumlogo ne souch hi liya hai toh mai bhi chalti hu. Wese bhi baad me toh aana hi hai."
A few giggles following her statement.

When I didn't replied knowing that they just wanted to tease me, Dhriti spoke up again.

"I also have a few assignments due so I will be coming also."

Athrav hummed a little typing in his phone, maybe he was replying the emails. This dude is more workaholic than me.

"Then we will be returning tomorrow, what about you?"
He asked still not looking away from from his phone.

"I will be coming with dada dadi, you guys go."
Why did this stupid booked the hotel so far away, it's literally in the other side of city.

"Say that you wanna stay, bhai."
Aarav grinned making choti maa and Dhriti giggle.

I glared him through the rear view mirror making him press his lips together.
Why are they so happy, for what are they so happy? We've just met once, and also in a family dinner not alone.
Hell we haven't even talked.

Because I was busy staring at her...

I will not lie, she was attractive, delicate, radiant, graceful.... She was heavenly.
She was the type of beautiful that can't be explained in words.
It was like she is a siren song calling me to her.
The way her coffee hair swirled around her back almost reaching her hip, I wanted to grab it and pull her closer till our lips were brushing.
I wanted to run my lips over her rosebuds, to tuck her lower lips between my teeths, to run my hand through her sharp collarbone, to kiss her high soft cheekbones.

The time when her big khol filled minky eyes fell on mine, I wanted nothing more than to pull her in my arms and breath her cinnamon orange scent.
She was the kind of beauty that lured men to her, she had no idea how glorious she looked.
It was like the whole room was glowing just because she was laughing, and it was obvious she had no idea about it.

I parked the car in parking lot of the hotel.
Everyone made their way to elevator. I descend from the car soon to be stopped by Aarav, seems like he was waiting for me.

"Bhai, if u want I can...I can teach you how to lure women."

I narrowed my eyes a little taking a step towards him, but he was fast to make a run to elevator.
This boy was the typical lady killer explained in books....

A car screech behind me letting me know that my grandparents were also here.
I helped dadi to come out of car, making her take elevator to her floor.

"So, did you liked her?"
I turned to dadu, staring at him, as he wiggled his eyebrows making a funny expression.

"Sigh, how will I know, I mean we have just met once and not to mention the fact that we haven't shared a single word."

"Oh, you did shared word, remember when you told her to stand."

Giving him a boring look I made my towards the elevator, him following closely behind me.

"Hello, yes Prateek.. It's a yes from him, oh really, that's so good to hear. Hahaha, yes yes byy."

My eyes widen as I turned to looked at him, he was already putting his phone in his pocket.
I stared at him, until he spoke again.

"One date, just one date okay?... For me."
His eyes were twinkling with mischief. He was stubborn than me so I knew there is no way I was gonna win against him.

"Just for tomorrow, then we will be returning. I can't leave my business in the hands of other."
I mumbled the last part more to myself.

Dadu looked content with my reply, I knew he liked her. Hell, everyone liked her and they've only met her once.
I can't trust a woman this easily, I didn't wanted to trust any woman.

My past experience with dating told me all that matters to them was money, my last ex broke up because I didn't have the time to get her to dinner.
I remember that they only needed me when they wanted something, let it be any thing or sex.

I knew how to test them, and I will test her.
It wasn't about only me, if she will be my wife then it was about my family. And I can't let my family be in hands of a gold digger.

I didn't gave a flying fuck if she is the granddaughter of my grandfather's friend, I didn't wanted to know her from connection, or what other say about her.
I wanted to know about her by myself.

Most of all I didn't wanted her to be like Mrs. Ahuja neither I wanted to be like Mr. Ahuja.
I wanted her as my wife as my family as my future childrens mothers. Not just a well known business woman.

The elevator dinged, I made my way towards my room, soon to be stopped by dadu.

"Pick her up at 5 and get her bouquet of lilies, this trick made your grandmother fall for me."

"...goodnight dadu."

Pink Gerbera and pink tulips would be nice.
