AARUDRN- Paradise Found

•|21

I just hugged Tina, feeling utterly happy. My heart is experiencing a sense of peace that I cannot describe at this moment. For a fleeting instant, I was terrified that all my years of hard work would go to waste in just one moment. But no, everything is perfect.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much Tina." I exclaimed. Hugging her even more tighter. "Let me take a breath." She giggled and I broke the hug. "I'm beyond happy, but seriously, how did you pull all this off? You handled everything perfectly?", I asked.

It was finally evening now, the guest was almost leaving from hotel, with charming smiles and wishes. I and Tina was are in the kitchen as I was seeing the whole seventeen dishes which was looking perfect. Staff's health was also normal than before, the doctor said that they eat some wrong.

"I've been wanting to tell you for so long that I haven't done anything." She said raising her both eyebrows and with a bright smile. I tilted my head in confusion. "You didn't do anything", I knitted my brows and continued. "Then who did?",

I pressed her lips before saying anything and then finally spoke.

"Mr. Raichand."

"Oh,"

"WHAT?", I was stunned hearing this.

Tina nodded her head once, twice, thrice.

"You're saying that Mr. Raichand came here and... and he made all this? Meaning, he prepared all these dishes?" I was totally confused. Tina nodded her head saying, "Yes."

"What? No way! How did that happen?"

"Can you explain that further?"

"How did Mr. Raichand end up cooking all this?"

"Did I miss something? Please tell me everything. Tina."

I'm dying to know everything! How did Rudra manage to pull this off? Who guided him, and does he even know how to cook? Most importantly, how did he prepare these incredible dishes in such a short time?

🦄

I shared the entire incident with my family, and they immediately showed concern. They also scolded me for not informing them sooner, especially Rishabh Bhai.

However, after a while, their expressions changed, and they began praising Rudra's exceptional talent. They were amazed at how he managed everything effortlessly – literally, a genius.

Lying in bed, I gazed up at the ceiling, my thoughts consumed by Rudra. Memories flooded back – him calling me while I struggled with cramps, juggling dish preparation. But then Tina arrived, distracting me... Suddenly, reality slammed into me.

I bolted upright, tossing the blanket aside. ''Shit!'' I cursed, regret washing over me. Rudra had called, and I'd neglected to return his call or even thank him.

Without wasting a moment, I quickly grabbed my phone and called Rudra. I was glad he picked up within half a ring, as if he was waiting for my call. Before I could say anything, his deep voice silenced me.

"Were you thinking about me?" he asked.

"How did you know?" I asked, my words tumbling out in a flurry. "I mean, what are you up to?"

Rudra's warm chuckle calmed my nerves.

"I was waiting for your call," he said. "How are you feeling now?", His tone was soft and caring.

"I'm perfectly fine now." I said.

I heard Rudra's contemplative 'hmm' on the other end of the line, followed by an uncomfortable silence that hung between us.

Standing in my balcony, the chilly wind caressed my skin, sending shivers down my spine. The stillness was palpable, until I finally gathered the courage to break the silence.

I began to say, ''Thank you so much, Ru-', but caught myself, finishing instead with, ''Mr. Raichand".

"There's no need for this, If any other girl were in your place, I-", he trailed off, leaving his sentence incomplete. What he want to say?

"Then?", I asked softly, curiosity getting the better of me, needing to know.

Rudra signed before saying. "If anyone else were in your place, I wouldn't have gone out of my way like this... But for you, everything's different." He said only to make my heart raced and leaving me speechless.

"Can I ask, why do I receive special treatment?", I asked, smiling badly.

"Because you are my family", he didn't waisted a second to answer.

That's all I needed to hear, my heart skipped a beat. I wanted to listen more, it felt wonderful. Taking a long, deep breath, I finally managed to say, ''Good night."

"The red dress... Wear it tomorrow," he said, his voice low.

"Why?" I asked, sensing a hidden meaning.

"You'll understand soon," he replied, his tone cryptic.

"Hmm," I said, intrigued. But also confused on his words.

"Good night," he whispered, leaving me wondering.
