Their LOVE

Dheer

"Yes, she's not well. So, I brought her here." Randheer said looking at Mannat.
"Is it your very important work?" Rosy said with a teasing smile.
"Yes, it is!" He replied while scratching the back of his neck.
"Hello, Rosy! You here?" Mannat asked.
"Yes, I came here to meet Shubh." Rosy said adding fuel to the fire.
"You know what Rosy, I like her but she's not saying yes to my marriage proposal." Randheer complained looking at Mannat.

"Oh, sweetheart. What's wrong with you that you are rejecting him. Such a hot and handsome man is proposing you, still you are rejecting him." Rosy said looking at Mannat but she just smiled in response.

"Shubh, I wanted to talk about something. So, can we go to your room?" Rosy asked and Randheer was about to stand when Mannat pulled him back.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Nothing!" She replied and he got up while immediately kissing her cheek making her go all red. They went to his room but she froze at the spot. She smiled and covered her face with her palms. She went to take her mobile from the table beside the couch and started going through some online files.

Meanwhile, In Randheer's room:

"Do you love her because the way you look at her and care about her has surpassed the liking stage long ago?" Rosy asked sitting on his bed. Rosy is a good friend of Randheer. She has always helped him and he has also stood for her at every step. She's a person he can confide in.

He smiled looking at her and said, "Yes, I do."

"Then, why don't you tell her? Telling her that you like her, Isn't it weird? You know anyone can like her but you LOVE her."

"I know." He said getting up from his place and added, "I want to tell her but I want to know about her feelings. I do affect her but I want her to be comfortable first. I want her to share everything with me. I don't want her to feel that I suddenly started loving her. I want everything to go slow as I want to live every moment with her. You know, when I saw her for the first time, her innocence was something I admired. I want to preserve that innocence and childishness in her but I can't scare her by suddenly confessing my love."

"And why do you think that would get scared?" Rosy asked.

"We get scared of unexpected things! And at this stage, I don't know what she expects from me. I am not sure that she doesn't want me to confess but I initially want us to understand each other." He replied and she hugged him saying, "You've grown up, Shubh."

He rolled his eyes at her comment and responded, "I am already a grown-up person. That's why, I am crowned as the king of this place."

"Oo! So, the king is preparing to get his queen." She said and his ears turned red.

"I never knew, I could witness this scenario of you blushing in front of me." She stated but he looked at her intently and said, "Shut up! And why did you come? You know, you were going to destroy my non-existing love life a while ago!"

"Hehe! Let it be. I have a good news." She said showing excitement.

"What?" He asked without showing any excitement. She shook her head at his expression and replied while singing like a song, "I am getting married."

"To whom?" He asked and she gave him her marriage invitation card saying, "Alex!"

"Wow, that's great." He exclaimed.

"Yes, I have especially come this far to invite you to my wedding. So, do come with your queen. Single people are not allowed." She said and dragged him out of the room. Mannat looked at them and then at their hands. Rosy had held Randheer's hand while taking him out. Randheer gulped looking at her line of sight and immediately got his hand out of Rosy's hold. Meanwhile, Rosy had a mischievous smile on her face. She said bye to both of them and left.

"Mannat." He called while sitting closer to her.

But she just hummed in response. Her entire focus was on the phone. She was talking to someone on the call. He started tickling her and she couldn't contain her laughter. She had to cut the call in between due to his acts. She glared at him but he again started ticking her.

"Ran....dhe...er, ple....ase do.......n't!" She said in between her laughter.

"Dheer!" She said and he stopped. She looked at him suspiciously trying to think what made him stop so suddenly.

"What did..... you...... just call me?" He asked and she looked down unable to meet his intense gaze.

"Dheer!" She said softly making him smile.

"Call me that only from now on." He said and sat beside her on the couch. "May I place my head in your lap?" He said with hopeful eyes and she nodded. He lay down with his head on her lap.

"Can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Yes!" She replied and he said, "I did as you told me. So, have you forgiven me?" She looked at him lying in his lap and said, "Yes, I had done it long ago when I got to know that I was just an assistant for you." He looked at him and said, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel that way." She smiled looking at him after listening to his apology. "BTW, I completed the task. So, don't I deserve an award?"
"I've forgiven you. What else do you want?" She said.
He took one of her hands and kissed it making butterflies erupt in her stomach. He said, "No, I don't want anything else. Your forgiveness is the best reward." He closed his eyes saying this.

Mannat couldn't help but admire him thinking how valuable her forgiveness was for him. She quickly bent down and kissed his cheek. His eyes snapped open and she started focusing on her mobile.
"That's not fair!" He remarked looking at her but she acted as if she was indulged in the mobile. He again closed his eyes.
Suddenly, her phone started ringing. She picked it up.
"Hello, Ridham!" Randheer got up and snatched her phone. She looked at him confused but he cut the call.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing!" He said and started looking into her contacts.
"Haww! You've saved my number as ASR!" He said shocked and she gave him her sheepish smile and got her phone back.
