Aarav's POV

I finished my work early today and returned home. Around 5 pm she came home and by the look of her face , she looked tired yet she had a faint smile which shows that she loves to work and she is happy today.

As I informed her about the dinner i have to attend and she will be joining me. At first I saw that tiny spark on her eye but later she started to complain that i should have informed her earlier.

But , there is almost 3 hours left for dinner and I thought that would be enough.

After a small complaining session she hurried to get ready.

And left  for my study room and checked a few emails and were working on the files.

After completing all the files and checking every mail I went to the guest room to get changed.

I thought to return to our room but after the second thought I dismissed it and entered the guest room.

Taking a quick shower , i changed into a black suit . I prefer to wear formal clothes only as it was supposed to be a business.

And the reason I asked for her company was that I was going to introduce her to a few of my clients and some friends too.
(If they came )

It's already 8 O'clock so I went down and waited for her.

After a few minutes I heard a ticking of heels so I exited the hall to start the car. I leaned into the car while waiting. Checking my phone for a while finally I heared her footsteps.

I waited for a few more minutes but her footsteps were not coming and lifting my eyes I saw HER.

'Gorgeous '

The first thing that came to my mind was to walk towards her and kiss her till she can't stand properly.

She was looking beautiful, not only that but more than anything that I can say. She looks divine in that saree. Her left open hairs, that doe eye which shines like that bright star, her lips that might be pink colour but it was not that deep pink that's kind of baby pink and her flushed red cheeks. That might be a blush or not I don't know but that colour suits her. I want to bite that red tomato. And above everything, her vermillion and mangalsutra were racing my heart out. Every time I see her in that , my heart's beats increase and I can't take my eye off her. That was screaming of her being mine ALL MINE.

As I saw her checking me out. A sense of proud feeling came to me. Not bad Aarav you had chosen a good suit for yourself.

{Black , black
Matching matching}

She came back to her senses and when she knew that I caught her checking me out, her already red cheek became more red and she started to look here and there to avoid me.

That made me smirk
(I got to tease her , and I am not  missing that chance)

Chale ,  i asked her and she turned back to me and nod with a flushed face.

Cute

I opened the passenger door for her and she got seated , adjusting her pallu . I rushed to the driver's seat.

I wore a seatbelt and turned to her. She seems clueless to my action and I pointed to the seatbelt . Getting my point she tried to open the belt but she was not able to do it.

I leaned into her and seeing me she  stopped and looked at me. As I got near to her, I could hear her heartbeat and I guess she could hear mine too.
She closed her eyes as my breath fanned into her lips. I did her seatbelt and her nervousness made me chuckle.

I leaned back and started the car. And from my side view I saw her fanning her cheeks which seems to be more reddish now. O God how much she has applied blush.

No words were exchanged in the car ride . And I didn't feel that awkward rather it was a peaceful and calm ride.

After 15 minutes , we reached into the venue and I exited the car and opened her side of the door. She mumbled small thank you . Handing the key to the worker there we enter into the hotel.

The hotel belongs to one of my friends . There is a restaurant attached to it and that was the main reason I chose this place as it is more convenient for our meetup with no interference.

Heading to the restaurant area , i waited for her to catch up. I want to hold her but what  if she gets uncomfortable so I didn't.

She seems to have a problem with heels I guess and she can't fix it as she has to get down. I kneel down and put her heels in  my knee, she seems to get startled and tried to put down the feet but my grip was a little tight. She placed her hand on my shoulder to support her. Checking her heels and fixing it , I put down her feet and got up. She uses her handkerchief to dust my knee.

I signalled her and she placed her hand on my arms. We walked to the reception area and the waiter there led us to the room.

As we entered the room , I saw most of our long term clients there . They happen to my friend too.

O .. look who is here , none other than the one who was the most Bachelor Ceo who is not Bachelor anymore , Mr Aadit Verma commented with a light laugh and teasing tone.

We shared a hug and shared a few handshakes with others.

As I introduced My wife to them , she joined hands and did a few handshakes. I pulled a chair for her , and I sat too.

As we got engaged in some business talk i noticed her getting bored . Men were having drinks and females were also having soft drinks . I thought to ask her if she wanted a drink. But she denied and said to be fine with water .

As I get engrossed in talk , I hear a  familiar voice , Mere bina hi start kardia, wait toh kar lete at least .

Sneak peak of
next chapter

As he held my hand , Aarav's hand came to me and jerked the other hand . She is , as he told the person , his hold on my hand tightened but not to that extent that would hurt me. I could sense the jealousy in his tone and I loved it . I want to see more of this so jerked aarav's hand and held that man's hand in return he glared at me with little shock and little anger and I smiled at him .
