ONLY HIS

Chapter 51

"Alisha aaj raat ko shadi hai iska matlab yeh nahi ki haam direct raat ko niklenge, ab apne didar ke liye kitna tarashogi?" Ace asked leaning against the door, watching the staircase, eager to see her outfit when she finally opened her door.

(Alisha, tonight is the wedding, but it doesn't mean we have to leave directly at night. Now, how long do I have to wait to get to see you?)

"Apke teacher ne jo Hindi apko sikhayi hai vesi toh yaha ki paidaishi wale log bhi nahi bolte" She replied as her giggle echoed throughout the empty house indicating everyone had already left except them.

( Your Hindi teacher teaches you the vocab that the people born here wouldn't have spoken ever)

But instead of listening to her, his mind is creating a scenario where she is coming downstairs in slow motion with a filter enhancing her beauty with soft music in the background perfectly matching her footsteps, but all of it snapped out when she flickered her fingers in front of him to bring him back in reality.

"Kesi lag rahi hu?" She asked twirling her long Merlot coloured lehenga.
(How am I looking?)

"Completely mine", He replied, genuinely smiling while matching his eyes with hers until they turned darker after he noticed something on her waist.

Currently, their car is racing on a slightly busy road filled with a variety of different vehicles around them; while Ace's pupils are focused on the road, Alisha is looking down as if thinking something clear about how roughly she is squeezing her hand with the other.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by a sudden knock on the side of the car window, making her squirm. She turned her head in that direction to see three basterds riding on their single bike with no helmet, looking at her like she was some kind of candy they hadn't tasted yet.

After seeing their perverted faces, Alisha for a second got scared but the other second, she turned her head to the other side to see her husband looking in the same direction with a side eye, which made her feel safe as well as attracted towards him.

But her excitement ended when she saw him turning his attention back to the road without any reaction. That made her have a conversation inside her head.

'Kahi ek ha ke baat iska bhi asli raang toh nahi niklega? Kahi mai bas ek trophy ban ke toh nahi rhe jaugi jiski dusting mahine me ek baar hoti hai? Atleast ek gali toh Deni thi na, lekin ho sakta hai ki Mai overthink kar rahi hu or usne dekha hi na ho? I have to do something to check if he's still into me'

(What if he started to show his true colour after I said yes? What if I ended up being a trophy that gets dusted once a month? He could have at least given them abusive slang in reply, but what if I'm overthinking and he hasn't seen them? I have to do something to check if he's still into me)

Her evil mind started to work, and that's when it lit up when she saw the window; turning her top-rated actress mode, she started waving her hand to provide some cooling to herself, as if she was feeling hot.

"Uff yeh garmi" " she said while giving him a side look and siding the window down so that now they could hear the sounds of horns and people outside.

(Uff it's hot)

Suddenly, the lights turned red, and they stopped right next to the same bike riders. Their eyes met with hers, and she winked at them intentionally, so they took it as unspoken consent. When they previously saw the person next to her not reacting, they ignored him and thought to try their chance on her.

"Chalti hai kya?" This was the moment which she was waiting desperately for. For the first time in Indian history, a girl was eagerly waiting to hear those words.
