"Yes, yes, I will do anything. What is it?"
"You have to marry me."
He felt like the ground was slipping from beneath his feet as he heard her. Everything seemed to be turning upside down in his life. How could he marry her? Yes, he had a crush on her, but that was years ago. His feelings had long since faded. When she initiated the kiss, he was shocked, happy, nervous - a whirlwind of emotions. It felt like life was offering him a second chance with her. However, he wanted to get to know her first. The time he spent with her was less than 24 hours, yet during that brief period, he encountered various moods of hers, each time feeling like he was meeting a different person. How could someone change their personality so frequently? He was content when it was just about dating her. Getting to know her better seems like the next step.
he didn't want to feel hurt this time. He felt he wasn't strong enough to go through another heartbreak. Marriage signifies a lifetime commitment, and he questioned if he was ready to spend his whole life with someone.
he was lost in his thoughts. One thing was clear - no matter how much he liked her, this time he would choose himself first. It wasn't her who hurt him, but the fear of being cheated or hurt in the future that was preventing him from agreeing to marriage. Marrying her isn't currently on his list. He can definitely marry her, but only after getting to know her completely over some months.
Aashvee snapped her fingers in front of him. He was so lost in his thoughts that he completely forgot she was waiting for an answer.
"I can't,"
he blurted out and stood up. She narrowed her eyes at his instant reaction. He didn't attempt to discuss it either.
"I am sorry, Aashvee, but I am giving you money to fight my case and to save your reputation, I have to marry you too!! Don't you think that the price is too high? Agar tumne ye bola hota 'Reyansh marry me', Main shayad maan bhi jata, but you want to marry just because you want to save your reputation!!!"
(If you had said, 'Reyansh, marry me,' I might have considered it, but you want to marry just because you want to save your reputation!!!)
At that moment, his voice rose. He couldn't believe she was asking him to marry her just to save a reputation? Does marriage hold no value for her?
She stared at him blankly. She expected this kind of reaction already.
"Sit and talk, Reyansh."
He narrowed his eyes, wondering what she wanted to discuss. He had already made his decision.
"I don't think there is anything to talk about, Ms. Raichand. It will be a definite NO from my side."
He turned to leave, but his steps halted in their place when he heard his brother's voice. He turned to look at her. She handed her phone to him. There, both his brothers were in a meeting discussing some losses the company faced. He snapped his head towards her in disbelief. It was their office, and only higher authority staff could enter that meeting hall. She hacked his security cameras.
