An Arranged Marriage Like This

|Sixteen|~

"Itna Thank you mat kijiye. Maine Preeti di se pucha tha, where should I take you?", Haseena said tapping on her lips with a tissue cleaning them carefully.

"I like this place waise, nice food. Or bahar ki open space is relaxing. Bahar Chalke garden me baithe?", She suggested. He hummed, finding himself a little lost in the old ties.

She looked at him and blushed with an idea, slowly sliding her arms around sehis hand. Anubhav looked back at her and kissed her forehead. He then released her hand and rested his, near her waist giving a new shot of butterflies to her. They walked silently till they reached a garden corner in a less crowded space.

"Heels nahi comfortable toh kyu pehne?", He asked when he saw her stretching legs and curling toe fingers.

"You know I love to wear them and hate it. At the same moment" She kicked them a little and used his feet to rest her feet.

He smiled. There were days when she would blabber just to make her points clear to her and now, she has grown comfortable with him, he had loved that journey however much doubtful he was in it.

"Thank you Haseena...You know ah...I got to know about this place by my 2nd girlfriend...umm", he hesitated bringing the topic of his ex, in their date but he really needed to let out.

She interwined their fingers. "I am listening without judging", she encouraged pressing his hand.

"Phir kya Haseena...break up ke baad kabhi man hi nahi kiya yaha aane ka, even though I had loved this place. Khuch adate dusre log hum me chod jate hai, or apne saath le bhi jate hai bas wahi"

She rested her chin on his shoulder and spoke, "you don't want to come here again?"

"Nah...you gave me a reason to love this place again. Through out my life and without a heart ache"
He brushed his thumb on her lower lip. At the moment he wanted to kiss her senseless.

"You look so beautiful, I...", he cursed inaudibly and continued, "want to kiss you"

Haseena giggled and made space between both of them keeping a hand over his chest.

"No PDA's allowed"

"I know", he passed a shy look.

Few minutes flew in silence, just them enjoying the night Breeze.

"Why did you break up with her?", she finally got the courage to ask though she knew some bits and pieces.

"Compatible nahi the hum dono. We were office mates, same field but different dreams. I had seen a future with her, given her space, time... everything but she backed out. Shuru me bas jhagde hue but end Tak ek dusre ko kos ke bhi thak gaye the"

She shifted near him and hugged him sideways. He held her arms firmly.

"Haseena"

"Hmm"

"Thank you"

She pressed her lips on his forehead.
He smiled.

"Any chance I get to sneak in your house", he said.

She looked over her watch and thought for few seconds. "Only if your intentions are true enough to sleep and run at 6:30 am tomorrow at Max", she suppressed her grin at his wrinkled forehead.

"Tough but okay", he gave in. She stood up offering her hand.

"You are tired. Ab me drive karlunga"

"Thank you", her shoulderd relaxed and she slipped her foot in the heels.

"Rehne do inhe, restaurant ke andar se hote lift se chalte hai. You can walk barefoot"

She hesitated but stepped back seeing her red pinkie-toe. He bended picking up her heels.

"Ek min. Mai utha lungi"

"Maine already utha liya", he too stood up.

"Anubhav...mujhe do"

"Haseena...phir tum mujhe apne book ke heroes ke taane dogi"

"Anubhav...idhar do"

"Leke dikhao"

"Fuck you", she hissed when he gained attention towards them while raising her heels to his full hand stretch.

He kept his hand on his heart. "Waiting"

She gave him 'I don't you look' and paced towards the exit.

"Aree ruko", he too followed her.

"Aao phataphat", she pulled her inside finding the living rooms light turned off. "Kamre me khisko hum ek baar sab check karke aate hai", she whispered and he top tied at his fastest speed.

She took a watter bottle, checked the lights, door and gas connection then peeped into her parents room to find them asleep.

"Anubhav", her eyes widened and cheeks coated with blush.

"Jeans me thodi sounga?", He switched on the AC and slipped into comforter covering his legs.

"Haa toh? Last time papa mummy ne invite Kiya tha apna ek set chodke gaye the", she shook her head and headed to her cupboard.

As she passed him clothes he held her hand pulled her over. "Black suits you like..."

"Bas ab", she blushed.

"No...let me kiss you", he closed the space between and she went weak in knees leaning more over him. His hands slipped down to her waist and he pulled her more. His teeth gripped on the strap of her dress and pulled it down while kissing the area. Haseena clutched his shirt.

"Anu", she tried to create some space.

"Hmm", he tried to nuzzle back but she instead found some confidence to feast over his neck. Making out, both felt aroused and a flush of hormones that they failed to control.

"Haseena..."

"Hmm"

"Do you feel good?"

"Hmm"

He turned to face her and covering her properly.

"Good night"

"Kal subha 6 baje get out ho Jana tum...And kyuki aaj you know we were...umm? Will you accompany me to the gynae? It will be my first time, I need a talk. And tumhe, you were physically active you should get a tesf"

"Okay", he covered his face to hide the blush.

"Ahemm", she teased.

"Goodnight Haseena", he turned over.

"Haye, mera fiance", she kept her palm on chest and acted dramatically. Both ended up chuckling.

"Fiance se yaad aaye, dates chodo abhi rings Leni hai"

"Haa", she looked towards the ceiling and exhaled. So near to engagement. Though she has developed a liking towards him, but entire life over a few months was a hard guess and more over not for her overthinking mind.
