Mahiraa: The untamed love

Chapter 18

It was evening, I mean almost evening. You could still see the sun over the horizon. A strong wave of cold passed through the air. There was a commotion in the Poddar House, As it was the new year party. Everyone were busy getting ready.
It was just few hours before they all will have to leave for the restaurant.
Since they are the host they will have to reach there at least an hour before. It was a big day. Specially for Rohit. Today Rohit was genuinely happy, happy for himself. It was like life is back on the track. He was officially going to be the directorial head of the firm. And more than that, Ruhi. He began to feel like Ruhi  genuinely want things between them to work. It was almost like she was enjoying his company. He couldn't help but feel that she loved him the way he does. Maybe he is being fast-forward. But even thinking about it makes him happy.

Well today he has a more urgent issue at his hands. Once this ceremony gets over successfully then he has planned something for them. It was a surprise that he has been planning since 2 weeks.  He will go for it after the ceremony and everything.

Everyone was in hustle. Vidya was being too paranoid. She removed their evil eye almost 4 times upto now. 'Kisiki nazar na lage' she would say.

Armaan and Abhira were in their bedroom. Armaan was in the washroom while Abhira was busy fixing her sari plates. She looked stunning as always. She was wearing a sparkling silver saree, that matched her diamond earrings and neckpiece. She decided to wear a simple neckpiece. She still find it difficult to handle such pricey ornaments. She will never get used to it. But she knew perfectly well if she didn't wear what will happen. It's just matter of hours, she began to tell herself.

"Armaan jaldi karo. Hum late ho jayenge.." Abhira screamed.

"Aa gaya baba. Bas 5 min...." Armaan came and began to dry his hair. He was topless. He just came out of shower. Water drops were dripping on his toned body. Abhira couldn't help but stare at him. Armaan notices. He smirked.

"Stop looking at me like that Abhira." He said looking at her through the mirror.

Abhira became aware that she was staring, she managed herself and said
"Like what dear husband?"

"Like you are going to eat me alive." He said still smirking. "Mujhe pata hai mai handsome hu."

"Get over yourself khadusman. Mai tumhe nahi dekh rahi thi... Mai to wo bas.." She began to stutter

"Bas.. kya..?" He said in almost a whisper while walking towards her. Once he was close enough he trapped her in his arms Cage.

"Dekho khadusman, abhi hamare paas time nahi hai. Hum ye sab ake continue kr lenge. I promise. Tum please jaldi tayyar ho jao, maa datengi hume. Ghar ke sab log chale gaye hai bas hum dono hai yahipe. Ceremony shuru ho jaye isse pahe..."

"Baapre ek hi saas mai kitna bolti ho tum Abhira. Relax. Hum Aram se pahoch jayenge. Abhi to hum pahele ye important kam khatam kr lete hai?"
He said while leaning in for a kiss. When he was about to devour her she brought her palm in between.

"Maine kaha n badme. Tumhe daat khane ka itna shok hai kya?" With that she gently pushed him and walked towards dressing. Armaan rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Hum sabse late ho gye, isme humari kya galti hai. Kam hi itne the." He began to complain.

"Haan haan baba, bas karo aur jaldi tayyar ho jao. Ghar ko lock krke nikalna bhi to hai." Abhira said while fixing her earings.

Armaan wore a black tuxedo. They both looked stunning. When Armaan was busy rummaging something in his drawers, Abhira Heard a knock at the door. She went to open. For a moment she was taken aback, to find Rohit staring back at her.
