Secret Marriage

accommodation

The two of them reach Dubai, not knowing that they had landed around the same time. One from Kolkata and one from Indore.

Mayukh's mind had almost accepted the fact that they're never going to meet again and had returned back to his old ways of living. She didn't occupy his thoughts most of the day now, but she was still his first and last thought of the day.
Whereas Nikita had accepted she isn't going to see him again and had put this behind her. She felt bound to him after wearing his sindoor but knew that this was a story which would never become a reality. She had to forget him, and the sooner she did, the better it would be for her.

Nikita had arrived in her university accommodation and had gotten her respective room whilst Mayukh decided to pay a visit to Ruyash first.

Nikita POV:

I walked in my flat. Flat 503. The flat was huge and was divided into 5 rooms, each with their own bathroom and a huge living room and kitchen. The hall also has a small corridor leading to the library and a huge balcony was placed to the living room. It was a beautiful house. Since I was the first one to arrive, I quickly picked the room I liked most.
My room had a beautiful view of the lake and the skyline along with a nice forest trail underneath. It was a spacious room with a bed in the center, a study table nearby and a wardrobe. The bathroom attached to the room was also elegant. Dubai never fails to pamper!

I settled down and arranged my clothes and called Aai and showed her my whole room and house. Soon, I heard the door opening so I cut the call and went to greet my roommates.

"OH MY GOD! Nikita????" A loud feminine voice greeted me. I turned around to find Esha at the door, running in to give me a hug.
"Oh my God! How come??" I asked, hugging me back.
"Are you in the masters course at this university?" She said excitedly.
"Hahaha! Yes!!! We're roomies!" I replied. I was really happy to have a familiar face here. I knew Esha from my college days and we've been really close since day 1. Seeing her here for my masters really helped put my mind in another direction.

We settled down, I helped her settle her room, the room right next to mine and then we sat on the couch and spoke about life. Just then, the door opened and a guy walked in.

"Heya!" He said and we greeted him, "I'm Sid, your new roommate!"

It was common to share a room with mixed genders, since my plan was finalized later, I didn't have a chance to book a single gendered room. But that's not a concern for me.

"I'm Nikita, and this is Esha." I said and shook his hand.

We guided him to his room and soon, the three of us settled down and I made everyone a cup of chai.

"Are we expecting another person or is this room going to be empty?" Esha asked.
"The list said that it's taken, so four rooms will be taken. We'll be expecting one soon."

"Guys I'm going to head out for a walk. I wanna explore the locality." I said, since I was bored.
"I'll come with you." Esha said, and bid Sid goodbye and soon we two girls were out of the house.

We roamed around for two hours and came home with a lot of laughter and stuff that we brought for our rooms and home

"Esha open the door!!" I said between laughters.
"Yes girl I'm trying!" she said.

The door was opened by Sid, who welcomed us happily. "I thought it was you two with the way the laughter was." We smiled and entered.

We saw a pair of bags and a sweater.

"Oh has our fourth member arrived?" Esha asked, while I closed the door and placed the keys on the table.

"Yes he has, here he is." Sid said.

"Hey everyone!-" No. No No. I know that voice. Please no. My body froze. Please let me be wrong. Please not him. "-I'm Mayukh."
