Tu Dil , Mai Dhadkan

Chapter 9 : "Come with me"

As time skipped to the evening , Akarsh entered in his mansion from work.

Exhausted from a long and stressful day, Akarsh walked towards his room, eager to freshen up and relax.

He entered the room, closing the door behind him, and made his way towards the bathroom.

After that, Akarsh stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the warm water wash away the stresses of the day.

He took his time getting cleaned up, feeling the tension slowly easing from his body as he stood under the running water.

After his shower, Akarsh wrapped a towel around his waist and stepped out of the bathroom, walking over to his closet.

He picked out a fresh set of clothes and got dressed, feeling much more relaxed and refreshed.

With a sigh, Akarsh ran a hand through his damp hair and sat down on the edge of his bed.

As he looked at the clock, Akarsh realized that dinnertime was approaching, and Agraja would be arriving soon.

He quickly got up from the bed, running a hand through his hair as he mentally prepared himself to see her again.

As Akarsh descended the stairs and made his way towards the hall, he could see his entire family sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing amongst themselves.

They looked up as he entered, their faces brightening with warm smiles.

"How was your day Akarsh." Diljeet , his father asked.

"It was good dad." He answered.

Ruhaan : By the way Akarsh bhaiya ko kuch jyada hi time nahi lag gaya aaj freshen up hone me?

Yuvraj : Are bhaiya samjho na hone vali bhabhi pehli baar ghar aa rahi hai. AK Bhaiya taiyaar to honge hi na.

Ruhaan (started singing) : Aaj unse milna hai hame......

Ishita (joined him) : Chalo unke liye kuch lete chale...

Karan : thodi mathri vathri lete chale , thodi chakli chevda lete chale.

Yuvraj : kuch teekha veekha lete chale , kuch khatta meetha lete chale.

Four of them got silent as Akarsh glared them.

Ishita : unse milenge to ham kya kahenge? Ye socha na samjha na Jaana Hai.

Ishita broke the silence , as she stood in front of Akarsh keeping her hands on her waist.

Aradhana : shayad kahein , aise unka hamesha se sar aakhon par hi thikana hai.

Shravi (grins) : Chachi.

Shravi grins pointing her finger at the entrance door , where Vivek , Preeti and Agraja were standing.

Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as her expression suggesting that she had heard their conversation.

As soon as Agraja made her presence known, a silence descended upon the room, and the teasing abruptly stopped.

Akarsh's cousins looked embarrassed to have been caught teasing him, while he turned red with embarrassment, realizing that Agraja must have overheard their conversation.

Jasleen : Areh aayiye na aap log.

Preeti smiled as her and hold Agraja's hand dragging her into the house. Vivek followed them.

Both the family greeted each other and got engaged in conversation.

Meanwhile , the cousins drag Agraja with them to the other side of the hall.
