Serendipity

||5. Marriage discussion||

"How are you darling?" Rolex asked, grabbing the attention of Manushika who was getting ready in front of the mirror.

Manushika smiled before answering,
"I am happy..." Rolex slowly walked to her from behind and pulled her closer to him.
"Calm down, darling, we are not married yet." Rolex whispered to him while stroking her hairs. Manushika stuttered to speak further. He turned her around and placed his hands on her shoulder.
"When are we going to buy the wedding dresses?" He mouthed, staring at her lips.
"Mom and dad will decide..." She uttered, looking at him, only to find him looking at her lips.
She bit her lips and licked it. "Don't tempt me, Miss Manushika..." With that, he leaned in.
"I can't wait to marry you and make you mine."

Suddenly they heard a knock.

"Sir- uhh..." They both distanced themselves.

"I am sorry if I disturbed you... Sir...Uncle is calling you to talk to him. And Aunty told me to inform didi to get ready." Aisha spoke, looking down. Rolex chuckled.

"Okay but no need of calling me, sir, you know... It kind of, you know, sounds awkward, hmm...haha. "

"Its not a problem for her, dear," Manushika said, gritting her teeth.

'She fucking ruined our moment, arghhh' Manushika spoke to herself.

"Okay I am going... - turning to Manushika - Byee sweetheart. Get ready fast!"

"Byee.." Rolex left and Aisha was about to leave the room too.

"You piece of shit! Why did you come here without knocking? "

"Bbuutt-I had knocked the door."

"Oh, shut up! I know you are lying." Manushika yelled back.

"Now go, why standing here? " Aisha nodded and went away.

**--------------------------------**

"Did you inform her, Aisha? " Aisha nodded at Lakshmi.

"Okay good... I have prepared tea. Can you give it to Alex? "

"Okay,. Aunty..."

" Thank you.." Lakshmi warmly smiled at her. Aisha took the cup and went to Alex's room.

She knocked at the door three times, still the door wasn't opened. Aisha sighed and was ready to knock for the fourth time and then Alex opened it.

Alex was styling his hair. He smiled at her and left the door open for her to enter.

"Hi Aisha.." He looked at her.

"Hi..."

"How are you? " Aisha looked at him, wondering why he was being friendly with her.

"I am fine, sir. What about you? " Alex folded his hands and said,
" Sir??? tsk tsk tsk seriously, Aisha? " Aisha confusingly looked at him, then she realized what he was about to say.

"Oh, I am sorry.. I mean Milyy."

"Hmmm...."

"Aisha... Where is your home? "

"A little bit far from here... "I

" Oh.. how far? "

" Around 20km... "

"So you daily travel a lot, huh? " Aisha nodded.

" Oh, it must be difficult for you, right? What about your parents? "

" My father is at home... " Aisha spoke and Alex understood that her mother might not be with them so he didn't want to ask anything about her family further. He thought to enquire about it to Varun.
"Okay... Thank you for the tea.
