4. Do Anjaane Ajnabi

An Early Update, as our Rudrika completed its first 500 views.

So, please bahut saare comments 🥺. Thode se votes bhi.

Author's POV:

Aryamaan: Dadi, Choti aur Ansh ne baat kari?

Translation: Grandma, did Choti and Ansh talk?

Mrinali: Yes, but they've exchanged just 3 words.

Mrinal started mimicking Rudransh and Suharika in their respective voices.

Mrinal: Ji Chai...Laiye.

Aryamaan and Rudranshi burst out laughing and then stopped after a minute and saw Rudransh's face and then each other's face and burst out laughing again. (Must be something in BFF code language.)

Naina: To ab inhein akele baat karne bhej de?

Translation: So now let's send them to talk in private?

Dadi: Of course. Suharika, take Rudransh to the backyard.

Suharika nodded and started walking towards the backyard looking back to ensure Rudransh's wheelchair could keep pace with her, as she walks faster than normal people.

Both of them reached the beautifully decorated sitting area in the backyard.

Suharika was standing there like a statue, the same was the state of Rudransh, the only visible difference, he was sitting.

Neither of them knows how to initiate the conversation. They were like that for some 2-3 minutes. After that, Rudransh found the silence unbearable, so he broke the silence.

Rudransh: Suharika Ji, you can have a seat...

Suharika smiled at him and sat down. Both were still unaware of how to initiate the conversation. After sometime.

Suharika: I think I am ready to marry you...(Smiles at the end)

Rudransh was beyond shocked how could she say yes to him without even actually talking to him once.

Rudransh: Suharika Ji?

Suharika: Ji, Rudransh Ji?

Rudransh(In a calm and deep voice): Why are you agreeing to marry me? I mean I am crippled, I may not be the best person for you...(He hesitated in the end but continued) Won't you feel bad if in future people call you wife of a cripp...

Suharika didn't let him complete and placed her index finger on Rudransh's lips.

Suharika(Proudly and confidently): It's my wish to marry you...and if you think I'll drop the idea or leave you because of your condition, then you're getting it all wrong. I have known about your condition the moment Dadi told me about today's meeting. When I met you today, I could hear my heart come up and screaming in my head 'You are the one'.

Rudransh: Even if I am crippled?

Suharika(Coming dangerously close to him)(Speaks in a calm yet intimidating voice): Don't you dare say it again soon to be Mr. Rudransh Suharika Rathore Roy!

The next moment Suharika takes out a gun and shoots just 4 inches above Rudransh's head and a scream is heard from the back side.

Rudransh(Calmly): An assassin?

Suharika nodded with a serious face scanning if there were more of assassins. Both of them were expecting the attack. After all, killing the CEOs of Roy and Rathore company at the same place and time would have been a feast for enemies.

Rudransh(With a cute smile): Ishq karna humein aata nahi... Par apke liye seekh lenge...Kuch apse seekh lenge...

Translation: Love is something I don't know how to do... But for you, I'll learn it anew... And learn a thing or two from you.

Suharika smiles. Suharika bows dramatically.

Suharika: Hum bahut hi prafullit honge apko Ishq sikhane ka avsar paakar.

Translation: I will be very delighted to get the opportunity to teach you love.

Suharika further adds a poem she made just then.

Suharika: I'll be overjoyed to teach you to love,

A chance I'll cherish, a gift from above.

Our hearts will sing, our souls will dance,

As I share with you this divine romance.

Rudransh chuckled and replied.

Rudransh: I will surely learn with sincerity.

Both of them smiled at their similar thoughts and had an eye lock.

Our Rajkumari Sa was feeling butterflies in her stomach. Whereas, our Kunwar Sa was feeling the whole zoo in his stomach.

Suharika broke both, the silence and the eye lock.

Suharika: Shall we go back?

Rudransh nodded with slight pink cheeks.

They start heading back, parantu (but), this time, Suharika is guiding Rudransh's wheelchair back in comfortable silence.

When they entered the living room like that, everyone went 'Aww' as they were looking so cute together.

No one asked them for their answers as their pink cheeks gave away all the answers.
