Her Mafia Husband

✨41.Engagement Party ✨

Arohi was sitting on the cushion infront of her dresser, wearing a dusty rose lehenga and applying crimson colored lipstick on her lips.

"You look gorgeous, mon cheéri!!Just like my beautiful wife.. Uff.. Sorry, my would to be wife!!"

The voice echoed throughout the room. Hearing the familiarised voice, she blurts the name out gently,"Kabir!!"
She turns to confirm her suspicion. Kabir smiles and courtesy gently, "You had answered it correctly, Her Highness!!"
Arohi stands from her seat, "What are you doing here, Mr. Chauhan?!"
Kabir pretends to get hurt and places his palms on his chest, "Ouch!!It hurts here when hearing the transition from Kabir to Mr. Chauhan!!"
Arohi rolls her eyes, "Stop joking, Kabir!!Answer my question!!"
Kabir puts his hands in the pockets and sighs, "Yeah!!I came here to attend my wife's engagement."
Arohi glares at him, "I am not your wife, Mr. Chauhan!!"
Kabir smirks, "Ok. Ok.. How couldn't I come to my wife.. Sorry I mean ex-wife's engagement when she invited me with so much affection!"
Arohi asks gently meeting her eyes with his blue piercing eyes,"Will you able to watch me with another man?!"
Kabir briskly replies, "No?!"
She looks at him appalled, "Then why did you come here?!"
He replies in his deep voice, "To make my heart understand that you aren't mine anymore.But why are you marrying that Raj?!"
Arohi answers his question, "He is a good person. He respects my boundries and my opinions. Moreover he understands me and protects me."
Kabir sighs deeply, "Yes, He is a police officer. He'll protect you from people like me. He is just the man you wanted. Your Prince Charming!!The man you always dreamt of. He is the hero of your story and I am the villian."
Arohi feels terrible when she hears this, she ponders,"No, Kabir. You changed my perceptive in one moment. You became the man that I dreamt of. You became my Prince Charming. You were everything that I wished for. I fell in love with the villian and he became the hero of my life.But we can't be together. "

Kabir continues, "It's good that you escaped from this Villian and moved on with the hero. You won't get hurt or troubled, afterall. Wait a sec, Your villian loves to give you a wedding gift."
He gives a box to Arohi. She looks at him stunned, "What is this?!"
He gestures to open it. She opens the box and was astonished to see the necklace, "Isn't this Rani Padma's necklace?!The same necklace you bought for 60 lakhs at the auction!!"
Kabir nods at her, "Yes, the very same necklace."
Arohi gazes at him, "But why did you give me this as present?!"
Kabir replies softly, "You are the rightful heir to this necklace. This one belongs to you after Rani Padma. After you left, this necklace is giving me a hard time. You were the one who protects me from this necklace's curse. So, consider this as a gift from King Chakravedi to his Queen on her wedding!!"
Arohi blinks at him, "What are you saying?!I don't understand anything?!"
Kabir laughs it off, "I meant this is your wedding gift from my side. I want you to be happy in life. Can you wear this necklace for the engagement for my sake?!
Arohi was startled by his request. She took the necklace from the jewellery box but he takes it from her. He turned her towards the mirror and stood behind her,"May I?!"
She gently nods her head and he puts the necklace around her neck, clasping the hook. He looks at her through the mirror,"Now, you are looking absolutely stunning. You made this necklace more beautiful too."

He puts his hand around her waist and rubs his cheek on hers, "I'll always miss you, mon cheéri!!"
Arohi melts into his arms when she heard that sentence. Soon enough, her head filled with bitter moments, flashes of him torturing her and moving on with Damini played in her head. She shakes his hands off her body, "Don't lie to me!!I know you had moved on with Damini and your words mean nothing else than nonsense."
She walks towards the door but she felt her whole room was spinning. Arohi's vision blurred, her head spinning. She swayed, her heels wobbling. She stumbles and Kabir sprang into action, his reflexes lightning-fast. Kabir instinctively stretched out his arm, grasping for Arohi's wrist.
