Bond To Him

(18)

Ruhi:

"Thirty minutes," Ekansh repeated before stepping into his room.

I strolled inside my room and huffed, "Uff!" 

I had no idea what to wear, so I called Saniya for advice. Following his request, I pulled out two white dresses I owned: an Anarkali dress and a full-sleeved one-piece.

When I showed Saniya the options, she quickly replied, "Obviously, go with the one-piece, Ruhi."

"I rarely wear them. What if I end up looking like a clown?" I wondered.

"You do not know about this all, Ruhi. But trust me, apke Shohar Miya ke hosh udh jaynge." (Your husband will go out of his senses.)

I shook my head in response. If I get a mouth filter, I will definitely gift it to her.

"Now go, get dressed but I need complete details of what you both did." My cheeks turned crimson red. I nodded my head and cut her call.

I dressed in the white one-piece, which came to my knees. I glanced once in the mirror, tilting my body in all directions. Well, it wasn't as weird as imagined. I look beautiful. But I was unsure about my hair, so I opted for a ponytail. I slipped into a pair of white heels and wore white diamond earrings paired with pearls. I grabbed a simple white clutch that barely fit my mobile phone and credit card.

I felt his presence on the door and, I pulled open the door before he could knock.

"Ahh..." I opened my mouth but couldn't utter a word. Even he was experiencing the exact situation.

He looked handsome in a light green button-up. I was so out of words that I could hardly clear my throat and wet my lips.

Ekansh stepped near me. I took a step back. "Dariye math, Jaan!" My steps halted.

Jaan Jaan kehkar sach mei ye meri jaan lejaye. 

He is going to steal my soul.

Leading his hand behind my head, unexpectedly he pulled the rubber band, causing my hair to spread all over my shoulders and back.

"Now. You look amazing," he expressed, tugging a strand of my hair behind my ear. Offering his hand, "shall we leave?" I nodded my head and took his hand. As I strolled down the steps, Gurpreet was beaming constantly. 

I exchanged my farewell by shaking my hand and she did the same and gave a thumbs-up.

While we drove to his surprise location I kept on asking him, "Where are we going?"

He only chuckled, "Ruhi. It's a surprise, so have patience."

We stopped in front of a huge building. It was a hotel, and while we were inside the reception of the hotel, I thought that my decision to wear one piece was better than the Anarkali.

A man approached us and greeted us, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Razdan. I am Aman Khanna, the manager of Elite Hotel. I am delighted to have your presence here. Please come with me." He took us to the elevator. 

I got anxious, "Where–" Ekansh put his index on my lips. "Trust me," He whispered and I nodded. Holding my hand, he intertwined his fingers with mine and ushered me with him. After we three stepped inside the elevator, he poked the button on the last floor of the building. That was the 25th floor.

I glanced at Ekansh as we rode in the elevator. He stared at my curious face and smiled. What if Anthra and he planned to throw me from there? Yes, it's common for a couple in an affair to plan that. 

Leaning against me, he whispered, "apko katar ke khane ka intezam kar rahe hai hum." My eyes widened and I stared agape at him. 

(I planned to eat you raw, tonight!)
