Chapter 115: chapter 115

Days passed and Ashish and Riya were enjoying their love life.  but they maintained boss and subordinate behaviour in office as they both don't want to work under rumours..Soon it was the weekend and luckily the coming Monday and Tuesday were festival holidays.  So altogether there were 4 holidays in sequence. Riya decided to visit her parents.. she wanted to inform  Ashish about her departure... She called him and said," can we talk??""Come to my cabin".It was already 5 in the evening and most of the employees had already left. Riya walked slowly towards his cabin and entered without a knock..She saw him working seriously on his lap top.What is it?? he said without looking at her." I am planning to visit my parents""Ok, take care ", his face still immersed in the laptop."I will be going for four days", she said loudly. Actually she was expecting him to stop her saying he will miss her.. But to her surprise he acted as if he didn't care." Hmm, that's good.. you can spend some time with your parents"..Her face fell when she heard him.." Are you not gonna miss me??", she asked, gathering little courage. He looked at her, took a deep breath and asked," will you stop if I ask you to"She didn't respond for a while and then said "I am leaving today""Hmmm, good..  I have work to complete.. wait for me at your flat. I will drop you at the bus stop.", his eyes still fixed on his laptop."No need , you carry on with your work. I will manage", " Does he even love me??, there is no expression and sadness on his face when I said I am leaving"she cursed  him under her breath and left his cabin furiously..Ashish smiled at her childish behaviour..Riya back home packed her little luggage and walked out.. even though she said she can manage, but deep down in her heart she was expecting him to come.When she came out of the apartment she didn't spot his car, with anger in her heart she booked a cab and reached the bus station.She reached early l half an hour early to the bus stop...she spotted an empty bench, sat on it putting her luggage beside her..She took out her mobile to check if  she missed his call. but to her disappointment she didn't. Her eyes roamed in search of him, but all she received was sadness..She sat with head bent with tears in her eyes. and suddenly  she felt someone sitting beside her.. she looked at the person and there was a flash of happiness in her eyes.." what are you doing here"??" I was getting  hiccups continuously so I thought someone  is missing me", he teased ." Then go to the one who is missing you,why are you here??", she said, twisting her mouth.He responded with a cute smile on his face. Riya  looked at him  and asked," why are you smiling??"He chuckled, making Riya even more Angry." You look amazing when you are angry. I love your red lips which become even more red"" Riya blushed for a second, but managed to get back to her fierce look"Soon her bus arrived and stood on the platform.. She looked at him and Said," bye, I am leaving", but he grabbed her bag tightly making it tough to move the bag.She pulled it harder, but she was not a match for his strength. She resigned and sat beside him.." Why are you not giving me my bag??" "I don't want you to go""But I want to go,  return my bag..""ok, first tell me why are you angry?? Is it because I allowed you to go earlier ?? or is it because I took your bag, not allowing  to go now??Riya didn't know how to answer his question.. she stared at him for a second and said," Ask your heart, it will give you your answer".. Saying that she walked towards the bus leaving the bag in his hands..He nodded his head and took her bag and got into the bus gave her bag,moved his lips close to her ear and said," My heart says I love you"Saying that he got down the bus and stood near her window.Riya didn't have any words to say, they both looked into each Other's eyes till the bus left the place.Both of them felt their hearts empty when they departed..******Next day, even though Riya was with her parents all her thoughts were with Ashish.. She was really missing him. She wished for some miracle to happen to see him now." where have you lost Riya??, someone is at the door.. Go check who it is??"she heard her mother.She slowly dragged her body towards the door and opened it. Her eyes went wide when she saw Anika , and her parents at her door.."Hey Riya, can we get in", Anika asked with a smile.." Oops Sorry mam, please get in", she invited them.. Behind them she saw Ashish too and a few servants carrying baskets of fruits and sweets ." Why is the whole family here??", she said to herself.." who is it ,Riya??", her mother came out of the kitchen.." Mom, they are my boss's parents and his sister".. She introduced them." Riya's mom's eyes fell on Ashish and realised they are his parents"..Hearing the voices in the living room, Riya's father walked out and greeted them politely..Mr.Hooda took the initiative and said," I heard you are not well.. how are you feeling now??"" I am fine sir, thank you for  your concern and on top of it thank you for giving our Riya the job in your company".."It's all her hard work", Anika replied..You might be wondering why we are here??, Mrs Hooda interrupted..Riya's parents looked at each other and then looked at her for the response" we are here to ask something which is very precious""Precious, but we belong to lower middle class maam, what precious thing do we have?", Riya's mom replied politely.." You have something which is precious than gold and diamond, your daughter"Riya's parents got confused when they heard her..Riya's heart was thumping heavily when she heard them and looked at Ashish unconsciously who was smiling at her." We are here to ask Riya's hand for our son Ashish", Mr Hooda said with a smile.." Riya and her family was surprised and couldn't believe their ears "Riya's parents rejoiced at the news.  But they had doubt in their hearts " But Sir, you belong to such a great family and we are nothing in front of you..""As I said earlier Riya is something very precious and moreover my son likes her very much, in fact our whole family likes her. that is why we are here to make her as our family member", Ashish's mom replied.." But we can't afford marriage of your status", there were doubts in Riya's parents hearts " Hahaha, don't worry.  We have fixed our daughter's engagement and wedding next month, so if you agree  we  decided we will have a double wedding  on the same day. and about the marriage expenses you don't worry we will take care.. "" Riya's parents were relieved when they heard them.. they are happy for their daughter as she is gonna be a part of such a great family..""If the kids like each other, then we don't have any objection", Riya's father understood, looking at Riya's face which was red like a tomato  saying she is happy with the wedding.."Then congratulations", Mr.Hooda stood up and said to everyone..And Anika took out the sweet box that they brought and gave it to everyone..She was very happy for her brother.Before leaving, Ashish's mom gave a small necklace and a saree as a gift to Riya..
