A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 45

Rohit looked at Sonakshi, puzzled at her question.

He turned around to follow her gaze.

That's when he noticed Ariana, his college friend.

'Kya hua Sona?'

'Rohit! Yeh Ariana, tumhari friend..yeh yahan?'

It registered what she was saying.

'Woh Sona, sab invited thay to woh bhi, or tumhe bilkul bhi jealous feel karne ki zaroorat..'

'Jealous nahin ho rahi Rohit! Maine Goa mein us ke saath jo kiya..' Sonakshi looked a bit embarrassed.

'What?' Rohit had never thought that Sonakshi was going to say that.

'You told me na, ke maine usse churail tak bola tha! Ab us ka saamna kaise karungi?'

She tried hiding a bit behind Rohit.

'Ab yeh kya kar rahi ho? Tum koi cheez thori ho jo chup jayegi..you are my wife. I want to flaunt you in front of the world.'

Rohit took her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss her fingers.

Sonakshi flushed as several people looked on and began hooting.

Rohit smiled at her and took her forward.

His friends got up to meet them. Rohit met with his friends, while Sonakshi tried to look everywhere except at Ariana.

But she came up to them.

'Hello Dr. Sonakshi Rastogi..'

'Sippy!' Rohit and Sonakshi spoke in unison.

Their eyes met and they smiled.

'Hi Ariana! Hope you are well!' Rohit spoke.

'Han han, I'm good. Congratulations again..grand wedding hunh? Great going Rohit!
And Sonakshi, you look beautiful!'

'Thankyou!' Sonakshi said, while Rohit hugged her sideways.

'Yes! She does, doesn't she? The most beautiful woman in this world!'

Rohit had eyes only for her, while Sonakshi flushed.

'Awww..a blushing bride! How sweet!!' said another girl.

Ariana moved away.

Rohit also steered Sonakshi away from that table.

Sonakshi looked at him knowingly.

'I saw what you did there! Thankyou!'

'What did I do?' he looked puzzled.

'Hmm, theek hai! Never mind.'

They went on to the other tables.

                  *****

Dinner was served and Rohit and Sonakshi walked around seeing to their guests.

Rohit was around the tables where his colleagues and co actors sat.

Sonakshi was checking the guests seated at other tables.

As she passed by a table to reach Rohit, she heard his name being said.

A few women were huddled close together, apparently gossiping amongst themselves.

'Itni grand shadi ki hai Rohit ne, very beautiful.'

'His bride is so beautiful. Doctor hai itni bari. So lucky!'

Sonakshi smiled to herself as she asked more guests for food.

'Han, hai to! Tum logon ko yaad hai, woh kon si actress ya producer thi, jis ke saath Rohit bohot news mein tha?'
