THINGS WE NEVER UNDERSTOOD

8

For the sangeet Riya wore a sparkly lehenga with not a low back this time but in a way her naval was visible, she planned on tying her lehenga a little up as she didn't want to expose too much.

everyone were seated there, all the girls putting mehndi on their hands and men taking care of all the arrangements. 

Aarna and her friends were all getting their hands done and Riya joined them too. she sat with them and searched the place for him only to find out that he was already looking at her. She blushed but then she remembered that she had to distance herself from him and covered her excitement.

"Riya which design do you want" Aarna asked and she looked through the designs and selected a small yet beautiful one.

"that's too basic" Aarna complained but Riya didn't want to overdo it.

After finishing her mehndi in just ten minutes, she went near Aishwarya as her mom called her there. There were few Aishwarya's cousins who looked upset. 

"Riya beta, wear this bracelet your hand looks very simple" she said and had already tied it to her hand.

"aunty no, I'm fine like this. Please remove it." she said insisting her to take it out as her hand was with mehndi.

"no no, it looks nice on you. wear it" her mm still insisted.

"aunty please, remove it I'm okay without this too" 

"come on Riya don't make my mom upset now" Aishwarya said enjoying the discomfort Riya was facing, she laughed her heart out and Riya threw daggers at her.

"Aunty please, I don't want it"

"keep it at least for the night, I'll take it back tomorrow. okay end of discussion now" she said and went away. Behind Riya all the cousins were disappointed and jealous of her. 

Aaryan saw how naive she was behaving. from morning she painted a picture of how perfect and trustworthy she is and now she is taking advantage of it he thought to himself.

Aaryan called Riya to his side and Riya was having second thoughts on whether she should go to him. But he called her several times and finally she went to him.

"Bring me few drinks from the counter" he said pointing to the alcohol section.

"But I have mehndi on my hands" she said showing him her hands.

"oh, its so beautiful, where did you get my initial written then" he said acting 

"what..no" Riya said smiling.

"its just a small design Aaryan" she said.

"well at least give me some company to drink" he asked.

"where are your friends" Riya said looking for them and they were all behind the girls serving whatever they asked for since their hands were busy.

"have you ever had alcohol before" Aaryan asked sipping his bourbon.

"do you remember that day, I turned nineteen and I begged you for a sip. I just wanted a sip but you wouldn't let me and then you..." she noticed that she went far back and Aaryan was uneasy too. because that day when Riya asked for a sip, Aaryan took a sip from his glass and gave it to her through a french kiss.

"no I didn't drink alcohol" she said correcting everything she said.

" one sex on the beach please" Aaryan ordered the waiter and Riya looked with shock written on her face.

"oh, that's a drink name" he clarified and she laughed.

"by the way Riya you look hot in this dress too, just tie your lehenga a little down and you will kill this look too" Aaryan said it so casually.
