Aditya's POV:

We were sitting on the cozy sofa at my apartment with a piece of paper on the table with RULES written in bold letters.

"Ladies first, You make the first rule," I said.

"Okay, so the first rule is no touching until and unless necessary," She said and I nodded in understanding.

"Why are you afraid you might lose control, Ms. Mishra?" I asked making her go red.

"Shut up and make the second rule." She said flustered. 

"The second rule is we will act lovey-dovey in front of our parents," I said cause I had seen my parents wanting to see me happy with my wife even if it was for an alliance.

"Same with mine," She said and nodded at it.

"Third one, We will split all the expenses in half including groceries and stuff," She said.

"Okay, the fourth rule is we will have separate rooms but whenever we have guests we have to be in a room," I said.

"Fifth one, Don't force me to go to my parent's house, not even for rasm(tradition) or nothing." She said. I was confused but nodded.

"Sixth one, Apart from someone you trust do not tell about our alliance marriage," I said and she nodded.

Time passed by and we made rules, and she took a photo of it to make it into a contract.

It was lunchtime, so I decided to ask her for lunch.

"Hey, let's go for lunch?" I asked.

"I am hungry but I can't go out wearing these clothes..." She said

"Why? I mean you look good in them and they are not too loose" I asked.

"Umm-- My pa-parents never al-allowed me to wear short clothes outside," She completes.

"But what about the dress you wore to the club? " I asked genuinely confused.

"I had warm stockings underneath, more like leggings" She answered.

"Then let's go to a mall for shopping. I will give you a pair of jeans... We do have to buy rings for the engagement too." I suggested,

"Okay, sure." She said agreeing.

We changed and sat in the car I drove to a mall I owned. I bought it and gave it to someone who could use it for me and make more money.

Next, we went to a clothes store, she quickly chose a formal dress. I frowned why was she choosing this dress?

"Sorry, I have to go home tonight so I need to make it look like I am back from office," She said answering my unasked question.

"Okay," I said. I am dumb.

She billed the dress before I could and went to change. She came out wearing the dress looking gorgeous, well everything looked stunning on her.

"Lunch or engagement ring shopping what next?" I asked

"Lunch or engagement ring shopping what next?" I asked.

"Let's get over with the work and then we will eat," She said.

"Sounds good" I smiled at her. From when I started smiling? I can't this is just an alliance. I will stay away from her.

We went to Tiffany & co. and chose rings. They were beautiful...

While paying for the rings I saw her looking at a pendant

While paying for the rings I saw her looking at a pendant. She had already paid for my ring. It was a gold and diamond pendant making an infinity sign. It was beautiful and would suit her but she didn't buy it.

"Give me a minute, I will be back," I said and she nodded.

"I will be in the food court" I heard her.

I went back to the shop and bought the pendant, I was planning to gift her this on the engagement day.

But she will only be my wife on paper and in front of the world. Why am I doing this... I said I wouldn't do anything but here I am buying pedant because she liked it. I thought I would stay away from her. And I am attracted to her like a metal is attracted to a magnet.

I told the store manager to send this to my apartment. And marched towards the food court.

I saw her scrolling through her phone, When she sensed a presence she looked up and asked what to eat.

"I am fine with anything. What about you any preferences?" I ask.

"I will go with white sauce pasta," She said.

"Okay same for me," I said and again smiled. Why am I smiling so much?

The waiter arrived with the order and I saw her eyes sparkle at the sight of food. The huge smile on her face says everything.

"Tell me something about yourself," I ask surprising myself. And she looked more surprised.

"I am Rohini Mishra, I work at XYZ legal firm, which deals with various types of clients regarding different types of legal issues. I love food. I also watch K-dramas in my free time. Though I hardly get free time. I love black, purple, white and gold colors. I have an infinity sign tattoo on my collarbone. My birthday is on 3rd October. I love cooking too but it depends on my mood. I love reading novels too." She said

I was stunned to speak but mentally made notes of her favorite things.

"Now tell me about you" She asked. This is the first time someone asked this question.

"Umm - I am Aditya Kapoor. My birthday is on 7th December. I don't get free time because of the company. My favorite thing to do is cooking... I feel cooking is very therapeutic for me. I have mastered many cuisines. I work out every morning to keep myself fit. I can speak 7 languages which are Hindi, English, Korean, German, Chinese, Japanese, and also broken French. I love reading self-help books sometimes." I said surprising myself cause I was never the person to open up to people. I felt so comfortable with her, that I couldn't help but share these.
