YAARIYAN

Press Conference

Ridhima Agarwal

All of us were sitting along with saksham bhaiya answering the questions asked by the media's.

"So this question is for Ridhima, so as you said earlier about someone special are you gonna reveal it soon, cuz the whole media is already getting crazy over it, Is it the same one, with whom your Pic got viraled tho you claimed to be morphed." The reporter with specs asked me, making me nervous. I looked at him giving me cold eyes making me regret my decision to announce our relationship in the press.
Eyy,Ridhima get hold of yourself. Where is that 'I'm a woman of my words" huh?.

"Well as we already announced about the pic, yes it was morphed and I don't know who that man was. And about the announcement I made inside the ceremony, yes I do have someone special in my life, he is my fiance amd we are getting engaged very soon" I completed my words and putted the mic aside earning gasps from my friends who were giving me unfriendly looks. Got a long night to go, Riz.

"Are you not going to tell his name or reveal him?" One of the female reporter asked
"Do you think she would do that, I mean it needs lots of strength you know" a man said joking laughing with his group. I looked at him wanting to punch and beat him to pulp.
I sighed before standing up and stepped down from the stage, walking towards the table where our families were sitting. I glared at the man and grabbed Abhays hand dragging him to the stage.
"What are you doing" he whispered to me
"The thing I should have done earlier"

We both went to the stage, I holded the mic from my one hand and holding his hand from other one.

"I, Ridhima Agarwal, ceo of Hazel groups of hotels, am really proud to announce my fiance, Abhay Malhotra an inspiring Cardiologist" I announced with a smile on my face looking at him who was busy not to show his smile, I felt his hands getting sweaty, I rubbed my thumb on his hand indicating him to calm down.
Our parents were hugging eachother while my friends including rakshit bhai and saksham cheered for us.

We were asked Many questions about our relationship like is it a love marriage or arrange, or from how many years are we dating.
While laughing at abu's statements, my eyes fell on shivi who was talking with someone on her phone , she was damn serious anybody could say by looking at her. She excused her self and left the hall. Something is going with her, I shall confront her about it. Usko chod pehle ye soch uss dusth Manav ka kya krgi jo ghoor rha h teko.

(After the press)

What a tiring day!, I stretched myself and took a note for a warm shower tonight. My friends have already left as we have office tomorrow. Now we were bidding goodbye to our families. He has decided to stay back, I don't know why?. It was raining heavily making the environment chill, I definitely hate myself for not bringing an extra sweater.

"Beta tu nhi aayega" Maa asked him
"Nhi maa aap log jau mein aajaunga"
"Arey mummy, bhaiya and bhabhi wants sometime alone na, look weather bhi Kitna Acha ho rha h, some rain romance huh bhai-bhabhi" She whispered the last line making both of us red.
"Tu jaa na" I shooed her off
"Bhabhi yaar aap bhi" She whined
"Chl bandariya no body loves you" sambhav bhai hitted her on head.
"Arey vaise hi dimaag Kam h, maar mat Pura hi khtm ho jaayega" abhi teased her
"Arey tum teeno meri beti ko pareshan mat kro" papa said patting her head. She struck out her tongue at me, I squinted my eyes and went to paa and told him to pat my hair too, he laughed and patted my hair lovingly. I made same faces as her. All the elders laughed at our stupidness..

All of them left leaving both of us alone in a weird silence which is very uncommon for us.

"Abhii" I sighed
"What was that stunt you pulled out in front of the press"
"I-"
"You didn't even found it imp to inform me about it"
"It's not like you informed me before leaving the school, and about today it was just that situation, I didn't got time to inform you" i yelled at him, my anger was taking hold on me.
"Really Ridhima you are still stuck on that, grow up we were kids that time and I wanted you to study, not to wait for me it was for your own good" he yelled at me making me shiver.
"Oh really then what was that, I'm pregnant prank huh?"
"It's because I already told you not to get too close to him, I'm a man and I can understand other mens thoughts, I can't bear to see you getting close to him CANT YOU JUST UNDERSTAND THAT" he shaked me by holding my shoulders.
"-but I just wanted to suprise you" a sob left my mouth making him look at me. He sighed and left my shoulder before turning back, and left from there. My knees felt  weak making me drop on the bench looking at him his back fading away in the dark air.
I folded my knees to my chest and hugged my legs burring my face in them, I sobbed continously when I felt rain stopped, I raised my face and saw him standing there with an umbrella on head. He bent down and whipped the tear longing on my face with his palm. I jerked his hand off and was ready to leave when he holded my hand pulling me closer in a back hug, he turned me around by my waist  and my betraying tear left my eye, he whiped it off, and palmer my face locking our eyes.
