THE TRIP

CHAP 43

We both kept kissing for a good deal of time. It was like we were waiting for each other for eternity. I wanted to stop myself, but it was like my body was not in my control anymore.

"Damn, I can't stop myself Aarohi." Aarav said as if he just read my thoughts and I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Why are you smiling ?" Aarav asked confused.

"You just said what I was thinking." I said still smiling.

"Aarohi, please don't smile, it makes me wanna kiss you all over again." Aarav said and I couldn't help but blush.

"Well, did you notice what I just did ?" He asked smirking.

"What ?" I asked not knowing what he meant by that.

"I just turned your fantasy to reality." He said still smirking.

"I still don't understand what you are saying." I told him honestly.

"Do you remember our flight ? When you told me about your fantasy. About having arranged marriage and then kissing the guy and all that." He said as he pulled me on his lap as he sat on my bed.

"Yeah, I do now. You remembered all that crap of mine. You are so sweet." I told him as I hugged him.

"Of course, I do. How can I, of all people forget about it. Anyways, you wanna know how all this worked out ?" He asked.

"What worked out ?" I questioned.

"You forgot so easily. Me coming to your house with a marriage proposal. Me not being married ever. Sid lying to you about me being married. Riya ignoring your calls. All that." He said.

"Hell yes. I really did forget about all that." I said feeling like a total idiot.

"Well, I love the effect I have on you." Aarav said as he started trailing kisses of my neck and moving further.

And though I loved him kissing me, but at this time, all I wanted was to get the answers.

So, just as he started kissing me, I got up from his lap and stood in front of him.

"Answers !" I said firmly.

"Hmmm, bossy. I love it. Well if you want the answers, meet me tomorrow at Cafe Chocoland. Riya and Sid would be there too." He said.

"And what makes you think that I would come tomorrow. What if I don't want to ?" I said.

"Well as a matter of fact, I think you would want to meet your soon to be husband almost everyday." Aarav said smirking.

"And why are you assuming I would say yes to you. What if I reject you." I said though I knew this scenario was out of question.

"Well, let me get the answer from you my way then." He said as he got up and within seconds we were kissing again.

"Hmmm, I am very happy with the answer, just so you know." He said still smirking.

I guess it was quite a catch up on all those 5 years.

"Okay  let's go out now. I am sure our parents are gonna have many questions about what took us so long here." I said to Aarav.

"Well, I don't mind telling my parents what we were doing." Aarav said smiling.

"Well, I do though. So don't tell." I said firmly as I made my way towards the door and Aarav came up behind me.

And just when I was about to open the door, Aarav pulled me back and gave me a quick kiss.

"For the road." He said smiling, and I returned the smile and opened the door.

And just as we entered the hall, our parents were staring at us as if we were the most important people they have met.

"So...?" My dad asked.

"Yes." We both said simultaneously.

And then there was the most awaited scene of 'congrats', 'we are so happy for you both.', 'you both are perfect for each other.' and other stuff.

And when my parents were done greeting us, my brother pulled me outside.

"See, I told you, you would say yes this time." Abhi said grinning.

"I guess you have something to do with this, am I right ?" I asked.

"No no no... I had nothing to do with this, you just couldn't help yourself but fall for his charms." Abhi said dramatically, which confirmed my doubts.

"Actually, he did play a very vital role in all this. It would have been impossible without him." Aarav said from behind me.

"Guys, please tell me what is this all about. I can't handle the suspense anymore." I said.

"Wait till tomorrow, you would find out all the answers." Aarav said as he gave me a kiss on cheek.

"You guys are really bad. I hate you all." I said.

"You should think about hating me again. I mean, you are about to be married to me. And you should love, or at least like the guy you are about to get married to. What do you think Abhi ?" Aarav said smiling.

"Totally agree with you Aarav." Abhi said.

"Abhi why are you calling him Aarav  he is much elder than you ?" I asked.

"He insisted." Abhi said pointing towards Aarav.

"What, I don't mind him calling me by my name." Aarav said.

"Aarav, Aarohi, come inside. And Abhi
you too." Aarav's mom said.

And then we went inside and there was all that exchange of sweets and gifts and then they were ready to leave.

"Okay, bye Aarohi. Hope to see you soon." Aarav's mom said.

And then as they were about to leave  Aarav came near me, and told me to meet them with Abhi at about 9 tomorrow.

"Yup sure." I said and then he left.
