Ishq Tera (Abhimaan)

Chapter 5

Armaan woke up as his sleep was disturbed by the beaming sunlight. He looked around to find the spot next to him empty. He got up from the bed and walked up to >?? the walk-in closet. There stood in his love, his Abhira standing in front of the mirror. 

"Good morning, my dear," Armaan said as he hugged Abhira from behind.

"Armaan, kya kar rahe ho aap? Choddiye mujhe." Abhira said, trying to free herself.

(What are you doing, Armaan? Leave me.)

"Kabhi nehi!" Armaan said, snuggling into her neck. 

(Never)

"Armaan? Armaan? Armaan!!" A voice startled him

Armaan woke up in real to see his mother standing beside his bed with his daily cup of coffee.

"Kya hogya tume, Armaan? Kitne baar tume uthane kiliye khoshish kar rahi hoon main." Vidya questioned her son. 

(What happened to you, Armaan? How many times should I wake you?)

"Kuch nahi, Maa. Thanks for the coffee." Armaan said. 

(Nothing, Maa)

"Accha, jaldi neeche aao." Vidya said before walking away. 

(Ok. Come down soon)

"Kya hogya tume, Armaan? You have gone mad for Abhira..."

Armaan quickly finished his coffee and went to freshen up. After dressing up, he went down to the dining table to join his family for breakfast. 

"Since both families have agreed on the alliance, hume engagement date bhi fix karni hai. Maine kaal hi Keertiji aur Nakshji se baat ki. Humne two weeks ke baat date fix kar gayi." Kaveri announced. 

(Since both families have agreed on the alliance, we have to fix the engagement date. I have spoken with Keerti and Naksh and selected a date, two weeks from now.)

"Two weeks? Itni jaldi? Mummysa, kya hume time hongi sab thayar karne kiliye?"

(So soon? Mummysa, will we have time to get everything ready?)

"Sab hojayega, Manisha. Armaan, shaadi see pehle zara Abhira ko kahi leka jao aur ek dusro ki baare jaane kiliye try karo." Vidya said, suggestively. 

(All will be done, Manisha. Armaan, why don't you go out with Abhira to know her better before the wedding)

"Maa sa, you are the best!" Armaan thanked his mother in his mind for the opportunity.

"Theek hai, Maa sa. Jo aap kahe, lekin mere paas Abhira ki number nehi hai." Armaan said, making the next move.

(Okay, Maasa. Whatever you say, but I don't have her number)

"Mere paas hai, Bhai. Main apko Bhabhisa ki contact share karti hoon." Kiara said and within a few seconds, he received a notification.

(I have it. I'll share her number with you.)

"Mission accomplished 💪" Armaan thought as he saved his future wife's name.

"Maa sa, aap please Riddhima aunty ko batayega main shaam ko Abhira ko Lene aaunga." Armaan said to his mother before completing his breakfast and going for work.

(Please inform Riddhima aunty that I'll be picking up Abhira in the evening.)

Abhira's POV

The day was extremely dull as I was trying to find some inspiration to paint. The only good news that I had received was the engagement date has been fixed. Two weeks from now on, I will become Armaan Poddar's fiancee.
