Arranged To Be Married (Editing)

Chapter 19

After returning from Finland, most of my days went reminiscing those magical moments I spent there. I think I already told my friends million of times already and they all are tired of me. I was cooking dinner and waiting for my husband to return from upstairs. Just then I felt two arms circling my waist and ruhan hugging me from behind.
"Let me help you love. He said and started stirring the soup with his hand holding mine and him pressed against me.
"This is not really helping me Mr. You are distracting my poor heart" and I heard his deep chuckle vibrating the atmosphere around us. He turned me around and picked me up and place me on the slab and start to cook himself.
"Did I tell you that you look sexy as hell when you cook? " I asked him in a teasing voice.
" You have mentioned it once or twice" he said teasing me back.
"But I like guys with 6 packs cooking shirtless. I don't think you can match that. " I told him teasing him further and that was enough for my husband to take his T-shirt off and show me his incredible 6 packs.
" Is that satisfying for you my queen" he said and I turned my face away and said,
"Dude I was just kidding. No need to take your T-shirt off. Just put it back " and he laughed loudly at my expense and put his T-shirt back." you are so cute and naive love". He said. We both were eating dinner just then ruhan ask me to accompany him to a party hosted by his office.
" Will that be fine according to your privacy protocol? " I asked him.
" Yes love. It is just a casual office party. Everyone is coming with their families and no work will be discussed there. " he told me and I nodded at that.
Tomorrow we went to the party organised by his office. There he introduced me to so many people. I was feeling a little awkward because I have  never been to any of such setting before and too many people made me feel a little off, I don't know why this happen with me. Ruhan was talking to someone and  I felt piercing gaze of someone and turned towards the source to found, one of the handsomest guy with wicked glint decorating his eyes like he has something in his mind,staring intensely at me and ruhan. Then I felt him walking towards us and I hold Ruhan's hand a little tight but he was so engrossed in his talks he didn't noticed it. Then that guy touched Ruhan's shoulder and pull him in for a  bro hug kind of thing. Then they both turned towards me.
'Mahi meet kabir, my business collegue and best friend' he said with a tight lipped smile.
I smiled at kabir. Then kabir put out his hand for me to shake and after shaking it he took it towards his mouth and kissed it. I didn't know what to react I was shocked myself. I looked towards ruhan, he was clenching his fists tight trying to control his anger. I in order to not ignite the whole situation  took leave from there saying, need to use washroom. When I returned back I found kabir and Ruhan standing there with a really sexy girl. She was standing really close to Ruhan, touching his hand once in a while, while conversing with him. I involuntarily found myself striding towards them. After reaching there I placed my hand on Ruhan's shoulder, he turned towards me and smiled. 'Mahi meet Ruhi my another colleague' smiling at me. And I smiled back thinking inside my head what is so fucking good about this introduction and why my dear husband giving  his beautiful smile to some other girl. Even their name fucking match ruhi and ruhan. Then they again return back to their conversation. Ruhi and ruhan were so lost in themselves that they looked like 'old flings meeting after a long time' someone whispered in my ear and I turned to find kabir as source of that disruption.
"There is nothing like that", I whispered back, I don't know whether I was saying that to him or to myself. Then I heard that temptress voice, "Ruhan come on man just like old times", she was saying to him pulling his hand. And then I saw Ruhan looking at me taking permission with his eyes and I nodded my head, trying to not sound like a jealous wife. They go to dance floor dancing  like crazy, enjoying with each other.
"They look nice together", kabir whispered in my ear again.
" Dude don't you have some other place to be, why are you giving you unnecessary opinions just keep them to yourself and leave me the heck alone and for your kind information, they are just friends", I told him and left from there cause I can't see my dear husband having fun time with some other girl. I went outside and sat on bench enjoying cold air refreshing my soul. Just then I felt someone sitting beside me.
"what do you want kabir?, haven't you heard me before", I asked him.
"You know your husband is an asshole, he is leaving such a beautiful girl behind and enjoying with someone else. I pity him.",he said. I felt my blood boiling.
"Can you please shut the fuck Up, and leave me alone. I'm not in mood for your bullshit", I yelled at him. He laughed loud and said, "I liked you since the start. Leave him and come to me, I am handsomer than him, richer than him and will complete all your wishes".I looked at him in disgust  and said,"You call yourself his friend and here you are sitting trying to ruin his married life. You may have all the riches in this world but you don't have a rich heart like him. And that's what I need. You are not my Ruhan and can never be him. I love my husband. So just leave with your sorry ass presence and don't show me  your face ever again if you want to keep your self intact.", I shouted at him and then turned to leave and there I saw Ruhan standing there smiling for some weird reason. I walked towards him and hugged him.
"Your best friend is an asshole" trying to stop my tears.
"I know love" he whispered. Then I heard loud laughter of kabir. And turned towards him to see him shouting."Man she passed my test. You are really lucky to have someone like her,she is a keeper bro. If you ever feel like divorcing her let me know. I'll make her mine". And ruhan  showed him his middle finger and hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear, "I want to hear that love part again at home" . And I felt myself blushing. Thank god for dark night he can't see that, i thought inside. Then after getting my senses back I understood the whole situation and looked at Ruhan to ask, "So it was a fucking test?",
"Sorry wifey but this is the weird way of kabir shekhawat, trying to look out for me." And even though I was angry, I felt myself getting jealous of their strong bond.
"Sorry bhabhi ",  I saw kabir holding his ears.
" You looked like a jackass in first meeting but you are a nice guy. I forgive you",I said.
And I heard the loud laughter of my husband. He was laughing at his best friend's expense. Then he turned towards me and kissed my head. Holding my face he said, "Lets go home wifey, enough drama for you today" . And I smiled at him. Just then I heard a distant voice saying, "Get a room you two" and Ruhan laughed at his friend's silly behaviour and showed him his middle finger.
