The temple stood grand and serene as they arrived. Everyone was already there-Aditya, Shivani, and the rest of the family. Guards stood alert around them, their presence unmissable. Adhrika's eyes widened at the sight of so many guards, but she chose not to question Agastya about it. She didn't want to talk to him-not after everything.
"Ohooo yayyyyy, mummaa...hum temtle aa daye!" Aruhi squealed, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she looked at the temple.
"Yessss beta, hum aa gaye..." Adhrika held her little girl in her arms, her voice soft and full of love.
"Mashiiiii...talo daldi, walna hume plashad nahi mileda!" Aruhi whined, turning towards Ridhanvi impatiently.
"Awww, mera bachha, kyun nahi milega? Hum pandit ji se kahenge humari princess aayi hai, inhe prashad dijiye...aur pata hai, wo aapki cuteness dekh kar hume extra prashad bhi de denge!" Ridhanvi said with a cheerful grin, pulling Aruhi's nose lightly.
"Ale, ab main itni bi thas nahi..." Aruhi tossed her hair dramatically, making everyone laugh at her adorable reaction.
"Chalo, cupcake, hum dono chalte hai...tumhe prashad chahiye na?" Agastya approached Aruhi, smiling as he reached out to take her from Adhrika.
But just as he did, Adhrika's long strands of hair got tangled in his watch.
"Ouchhh..." She winced in pain, her brows knitting together.
"Dekh nahi sakte kya aap?" She snapped at him, her voice laced with irritation. Meanwhile, Ridhanvi quickly took Aruhi in her arms, sensing the tension.
"Beta, hum chalte hain...tum dono aa jaana, okay?" Adhrika's mother said before she could protest, taking everyone along with her.
"Maa..." Adhrika tried to call her back, but she was already gone, leaving her alone with Agastya.
"Kaha fass gayi main..." She muttered under her breath in frustration.
"Of course, mere paas...aur kaha jaa sakti hain aap?" Agastya smirked playfully, his fingers gently untangling her hair from his watch.
"Achha ji..." She scoffed, but as soon as he was done, she stomped on his foot hard and walked away without looking back.
"Ouchhh..." Agastya yelped, clutching his foot dramatically.
"Jyada zor se lagi?" Adhrika turned slightly, pretending innocence, though a tiny smirk played on her lips.
"Haan, kaafi zyada..." He whined like a child, faking a cry.
"Kaha?" She asked, raising a curious brow.
"Yaha..." He pointed to his chest, giving her a mischievous look.
"Ohh really?" She chuckled and, without warning, placed a quick, soft kiss on his cheek before running away, leaving Agastya completely stunned and blushing.
