A Love Unscripted (Slow Updates)

6.RIDE

"Let's go, Aliyah" Shivansh took her hand, halting towards his bike.

"Shivansh ji, where are we going?" Aliyah's soft voice made him stop immediately, turning towards her with an exaggerated pout. His eyes held a mischievous and playful yet serious look, pretending to be deeply hurt.

She frowned, confused by his sudden change in behaviour.

"What happened Shivansh ji?" her voice filled with concern.

Clutching his chest dramatically, he sighed. "You hurt me, Aliyah" he pointed towards his heart.

Her eyes widened in panic, " but.. But what did I do?" She shuttered trying to know what she did, awaiting his explanation.

He shook his head, faking a heavy sense of betrayal. "You called me Shivansh jiiii..... Seriously?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "With a "ji" like I am some old man."

Aliyah blinked, utterly Shocked "But maa told me to address you like that only. What if you don't like it?" She mumbled, Clutching her bag nervously.

Her thoughts broke with the sudden echos of laughter around her, she looked up at him trying to sense what was going on.

"Seriously, Aliyah? Me, angry? And that too with you?" he tried his best to control his laugh, cupping her face gently, he made her look directly into his eyes.

"I know my reputation online is a bit.. intense "he smirked setting the word intense,

"People think that I am cold or aggressive, but bacche, you are my fiance my soon-to-be wife. You don't need to worry about me getting angry, punishing you, or any of that nonsense. Before anything else, I want to be your friend. The friend you can trust, talk and share every little inconvenience and happiness. Got it?"

Aliyah felt heat rising in her cheeks due to their proximity. She quickly nodded feeling comfortable with his warm tone.

"But.. what if Maa scolded me for calling you by your name?" she asked still unsure.

He smiled, brushing her hair strand behind her ears. "I'll handle her, don't worry about that jaana. Moreover, in a few weeks or months, I'll be taking you with me to our home. And i am sure, no one will even point their pinky finger at you for calling me by my name, or better yet, a nickname, whichever you like."

His eyes lighten up seeing a beautiful and affectionate smile forming on her lips.

"Good, now let's go or we will be late for our first date," he said pulling her towards the bike.

She first glanced at the motorbike and then at Shivansh forrowing her brows in confusion "Wait.. Are we going on a bike?" she asked, hesitation visible in her eyes.

He chuckled at her cuteness. "Oh, my bad I guess you thought I would be taking you for our first date on a Mercedes or Benz. Spoiling you with lots of red roses and gifts right?" he teased to which aliyah rolled her eyes.

"Don't tease me." she sulked being offended and looked away. He chuckled and held her hand turning her towards him.

"Oh my jaana, don't be upset. Trust me it will be fun" he assured.

Aliyah raised an eyebrow, still unsure." But this is not how I pictured our first date to be" she pouted.

He sighed and sat on the bike putting on his helmet, grinning. "Well, some things are better unplanned jaana. Plus, I assure you this will be the best ride and outing you will ever have."
