chapter 19

Author's pov

Avinash completed his office work and went to Mansion to get ready. He went to guest room because Harshita helps Aarushi to get ready. Avinash quickly wear his black suit set his hairs perfectly and took the things which he wanted to gave Aarushi tonight.

(His outfit)

He is nervous but happy. Nervous because Aarushi's beauty always mesmerized her and he forget what he wanted to say. He only wants to look at her drowning in her beauty.

He get ready and went to his room only to meet Harshita at his room door. She whistling looking at him with a grin

"Bhai you looking so handsome....but bhabhi looking so damn hot"

"Princess" he said fake glaring at her

"What bhai she looks damn hot. I think you cancel this party" she said giving him a teasing smile

"You want to cancel your vacation trip"

"No no bhai you continue I didn't say anything.....bye dad is waiting for me"

"Bye Princess"

She went to her home. Yes she didn't attend this party even Rathores didn't let her attend any business party.

He went in his room but it's empty

"Where are you wifey" mumbling he went to closet but stopped in his track near closet door. It's opened and he saw Aarushi his wife his mouth wide opened touching ground his eyes are wide open. He forget everything just looking at his wife.

Who standing there unbothered back facing him. She held her wavy hairs high showing her milky waist. Her blouse outstay on two hooks. Avinash gulped hard looking at her waist. His hands itching to touch her. She looked through her side in mirror and unhold her hairs let it cascading till its back. She wear maroon color shimmery saree with small diamond earrings. She didn't wear any necklace only her nuptial chain and chudda in both hands. Her saree perfectly fit to her body giving a perfect view of her curves.

(Her outfit)

She turned to mirror and looked at her last time. But till this time Avinash's condition is not good. He feel hot a cold shower is good for him.

"Damn she didn't no what she does to me? I need a cold shower....control Avinash" he thought and went near to Aarushi.

He loosed his tie and standing just near Aarushi.

"Can you help me with this tie" he asked her showing her his best innocent face which clearly he is not.

Aarushi looked at him and then at his hands which had tie. She nodded and took that tie and turned to face him.

She standing on her toes because of their height differences. Avinash held her waist and pulled her to him.

Avinash touched her waist drawing different pattern on her bare waist. Aarushi's hands starting to shaking feeling his hard fingers on her waist and their proximity didn't help her neither

Avinash totally enjoyed her state. He feel good after saw his effect on her

"Please can you bend a little" She said with a pout. She is tired when his tie refuse to tie.

He chuckled at her. She looked at him with angry eyes with  a pout

"Don't show me your pout unless you didn't want me to kiss this" He said seamlessly and bend a little.

At this time Aarushi is like a red tomato she hide her flustered face from him but he saw it.

He held her from her waist and make her sit on counter in closet.

"What are you doing" She asked more like complaining. It happened so fast that she didn't even proceed.

"Make us equal" he said shrugged his shoulder and put his hands on both her side caging her and bent to her level. Aarushi try to put her whole focus on tying the tie but she feels his warm breathing fanning on her face. Her breathing now unequal her chest having up and down to control this tickling sensation in her.

She done her work but they both didn't budge from their space. She held his tie tight when he bend over to her ears. His warm breathing tickling her making her grip on tie strong.

"Did I tell you how's you looking tonight" he again slowly came to her face eyes close flusttered face heavy breathing

"Gorgeous....just looking like mine" he said and kissed her forehead. His lips lingered on her forehead for some minutes both are savoring this moment. Aarushi felt thousands of butterfly in her stomach. Her head is blank now she have no thoughts only she remembered Avinash face and his feelings his gentle touch.

He break kiss and cupped her cheeks joined their heads.

"Aarushi"

"Hmm"

"We are late for party" he said and make her stand on floor. She look at him his smiling face she remember what happen some minutes ago. She feels shy she correct her saree and run to room.

"God she's death of mine" he said looking in mirror and correct his tie and went to room

Aarushi sitting on couch trying to wearing her heels. Her hairs back fallen on her face and she wear saree which also giving her not so easy time. She feel annoyed on Avinash why he bring heels with this type on hooks.

Avinash saw her struggling so he sat beside her feets and helps her to wearing her heels.

"No no what are you doing?" She asked backing her feet before he touched

"Helping my wife" he said casually and trying to put that heels on but she held his hand in midway

"No Mr Rathore  it's not right  husbands never supposed to touch wife's feet" She said trying to understand him but she didn't know that her husband is never listen to anyone.

Avinash look at her face for two minutes then said stubbornly

"I didn't agree on society theories and assumptions they do what they want. And my wife is goddess of my home and my life so it's so shame to touch her feet. Now let to help to to wear this"

She listened to him quietly. She feel different. Always her brother and Bhabhi told her that she is bad omen because of her they didn't have a child. They curse her slapped her abuses her and here this person who suppose to torment her life become a savior gave her respect to level of goddess

She feels overwhelmed and happy. She looked at him and slowly forward her feet.

He nicely make her wear her heels but she feels something other tying around her feet. She looked at her feet, only to saw Avinash tie a black thread.

"Even I'm capable to protect you but for double safety this is important" Avinash said looking at her. Her eyes become moist seeing this type of admiration for her.

Both looked at each other both want to ran from this world from their identity just to feel eachother presence.

Avinash breaking their eye contact and bring out two boxes from his coat pockets still on his knees. Aarushi looked at him confused.

(Rings)

He opened first box which had two rings it's a couple ring. She looked surprised at him. Avinash take a deep breath to calm his running heart and looked at deep in her eyes.

"Aarushi I know it's hard for you to forget what your brother said for me about this bond but trust me this is the purest bond of my wife. I want to savior it cherish it every moment with you. With you I want to complete my life. And I'm sorry really sorry what I told you on our wedding night but I have reasons which I told you when the right time comes but I didn't mean that anything. You are my preference you are not on my list because you are different different from this world only for me. And I promise you that I'm with you always I am with you when you complete your dreams I wanted to be with you when you think nobody was. I'm sorry because of me you cry I might not repay for it because your tears are priceless but still in future I never gave you any reason to cry. And thankyou for  stay here you gave me a best hope of my life and I never let you regret you decision. I even didn't have proper wedding so I brought rings for us. Can I Avinash Singh Rathore wear you Aarushi Avinash Singh Rathore this ring?" He said looking into her eyes.

She is amazed surprised shocked overwhelmed happy lucky every feelings mixed in her. She didn't even know when she start to crying. Tears came to her eyes. At this moment she forget everything what happened in her life in past she wants to be with him

Avinash wiped her tears and kissed her cheeks which turned red now. Aarushi feel shy she smile and looked down and wiped her tears. Avinash smile looking at her

"Did I have permission?" He again asked

She looked at his eyes trying to confirm her answer she find only trust and admiration for her. She nodded and Avinash picked her ring and make her wear it in her ring fingers. It is minimal design just like she like. He kissed her back of her hand.

Avinash gave her his ring so she wear it to him. She hesitately picked it and make him wear it. She didn't looked at him but their fingers again touched she feel that spark between them.

He held her both hands and kissed them. Aarushi feel so shy her whole face and neck turned red.

"I have one more gift for you" he said picking second box.

"One more gift" She said pouting irritated

He smile and kissed quickly her cheek

"Aadat daal lo Mrs Rathore I have lots of gifts for you" he said winking at her.

She feels ticking feeling in her whole body. Butterfly everywhere.

He opened second box it's a Cartier bracelet it symbolizes their love and love bond till eternity.

Aarushi didn't know that mean and thought it's a normal braclet but confuse to look at screw. Avinash opened it and screw it around its wrist. She looked through that bracelet their something written on back of it.

"What is written there"? She asked to Avinash but he smile and scratch his back of his neck. She looked confusingly on his behavior.

"I told you some other time. Did you like it?" He asked flipping her question.

"It is very pretty. Thankyou Mr Rathore"

"Its my pleasure Mrs Rathore. Now come we are late for party" he said standing straight forward his hand to her

She held his hand and get up. Aarushi correct her little makeup and stand besides Avinash. Avinash take his gun and tucked at his back side of pant Aarushi saw him from side eye but didn't ask anything. He held her hand and both went downstairs where everyone waiting for them.

"Finally they come" Abhi said standing near couch in living room saw at stairs where Avi and Aarushi come downstairs.

"Hyee mere bacho to nazar na lage." Radhika said putting black dot behind both ears.

"You look best together" dadu said blessed them.

"Wow bhabhi you look so h.....beautiful" Abeer said trailing his words because of Avinash hard glare.

"Come we are late" karan said everyone went outside.

"Mr Rathore why this party held"? Aarushi asked near door to Avinash. She wanted to ask to Radhika about this party but she stop thought that it didn't look good. She know that Rathore throw this party but why she didn't know.

"You don't know?" He asked stopping in his track. She nodded in no

"Its opening of our new resort. Normally we didn't throw party but this time Dad thought that its good to throw by this you also introduced to some of our business partners" he said but she wanted to said something but she didn't want how.

He held her shoulder and make her stand near her

"Jaan do you want that I introduced you as my wife in front of world. I can do that but I wanted to ask you"

She know that Rathores are not like any other businessmen. They are very high profile and her husband also a perfect amount of fan following. If world knew about their relation it's hard for her now when her friends and Naksh didn't know about that. They feel hurt if they knew like this.

She nodded her head in no and looked at floor. She thought Avinash angry on her about this decision but he kissed her forehead said

"I also want this"

They both come out where cars are waiting for them. Aarushi saw four cars in line with gurads in black uniform with Rathore's logo with arm standing there. Their head low but they held tightly gun in their hands ready to kill anyone. Aarushi feared to saw them she tightly held Avinash held unknowingly. He know how she's feel.

Lakshya came and stand before them. Ready to gave information to his boss

"Good evening boss" Lakshya said Avinash nodded

Aarushi saw at Avinash his whole demeanor change. His face now emotionless no expression he is not even back greet him. Aarushi feel his cold behavior to them but didn't understand anything. She didn't digest this thing that he is the same romantic person who say her sorry.

"Aarushi meet Lakshya our security head" Avinash introduce her to Lakshya.

She feel his cold authorative voice ready to burst in every minute.

"Good evening mam" he said and bow to her. She didn't know how she react it's all opposite to her life.

"Good evening" She said trying to not shuttering

"Sir media is at front door. Back door is clean for us. All guest are arrive and waiting for you" Lakshya said while Avinash walked to his car. He opened the door of his buggati for Aarushi, help her to settle in passenger seat and then sit at driver seat.

He ignite the engine towards resort. Aarushi saw at cars which follow them and feel nervous.

Avinash saw her nervous face and held her hand with his free hand, intertwined their fingers and kissed the back of her hand.

"They follow us" She said trying to understand what happened.

"Shh, jaan they are here for our safety. You can trust them" Avinash said but deep down he know that from tomorrow when her college start he have to tell everything about this security stuff. He knew that Aarushi didn't like all this but it's all for her safety.

"Why didn't Harshita came?" Aarushi asked him because Harshita told her that she didn't allow to attend any business party.

Avinash looked at her who turned her eyes to looking outside but she listened everything

"Because we have rivals more than friends in business. And we don't want that someone make Harshita pawn in their dirty game to bussiness with us"

Aarushi's pov

His words are beyond my imagination. In four walls near me he is a man with emotions good words who admire world but in front of world he is a cold person. A person who close his emotions in deep down in sea. What he said me I only admire him. His words and actions match at the same time. His words make me feel something which feelings I didn't feel before. Which I thought prohibited for me but he trying to break every wall between us.

His thoughts about Harshita is so thoughtful may he can earn profit because of that dirty game too but he  choose his sister and her happiness beyond everything. He protect his family in every way. He is over protective to me I feel it sometimes.

After that whole ride is silent but I can feel his breathing in every minutes on our hands. His warm big hands perfectly make fit my tiny hands. I looked outside just to feel this moment.

We reached after thirty minutes and enter by back door. Guards car follow us till here. I'm scared from them but not from him not anymore

A guard came and opened his door and he came to open my door. I came out and looked our surroundings. Guards almost cover us from everywhere. Avinash stand front of me holding my hand.

"Chale?" He asked and I nodded in yes. We came in resort and it's so beautiful. It's a perfect mix of classy with royal just like Mansion. It had modern interior with royal design on walls.

We enter where party happen. Shit there are people so much. I came outside after so many days last two days before my wedding. I feel everyone eyes on us or more precisely his hands on my wrist and on my attire. Girls litterly gawking at him with lusty eyes ok he is handsome hot tall at the same time but he is married now

Did I'm jealous???? No no no

"Be with me jaan OK. And said me when you feel uncomfortable ok" he said in my ear. I nodded at him he gave me  a assuring smile. I smile back and we went to some guests.

Avinash introduce me to some people mostly his business partners. He talked to them in his authorative cold tone. Seriously even some people flinched to take to him.

A waiter came to us he took a glass of wine, he drink? I don't like who people drink. It brings back all those memories when bhai used to drink with his friends at home and how they looking at me with their creepy eyes like I'm their slut.

Whole time I held his hands looking here and there looking for other family members or play with his cufflinks. I saw around mom and dad talking to some guest while dadu talking to some old men and Abeer and Abhi bhaiya busy in talking with their friends near bar area. Means whole family drink.

I'm bored here to gave my fake smile to everyone feelings eyes on me. Their some guests looking to us giving us side eye and then talking. Must be some bullshit.

"Avinash...my brother" Krish bhaiya came with a big smile and two glass in his hands

He hugged Avinash and he muttered something giving a smirk to Avinash.

"Bhabhi how's you?" He asked me. Even we didn't have any chance before to talk but he seems a nice person.

"I'm good bhaiya. How's you?" I said

"I'm also good but this husband of yours didn't let me meet you. See I'm cute na bhabhi" he said showing his puppy face and blinking his eyes

I didn't say anything just giggled. He is funny.

"Hope you didn't bring your so called girlfriends here if mom find out you better know what she do" Avinash said pulled me by my waist near him taking sip from his wine glass.

All colors from Krish bhaiya face vanished.

"Shit I brought....you....I saw you later....bye bhabhi" Krish bhaiya said showing his finger to him but then he went to other side.

He smirked looking at him. I gave him a not so done look. But he shrugged his shoulder.

"Avinash Singh Rathore" a man in his thirties wearing a white tux red blood eyes full drunk came with a girl who is looking young under twenty wearing a green dress which showing her cleavage with a silt upper his knees. She is beautiful.

"Its Mr Rathore for you" Avinash said shaking his hand with him. Suddenly his grip tight on my wrist my other side stick to his side. His jaw clenched and his hands in a tight fist.

That man looking at me from up to down I didn't feel good. That girl gave me a disgusted look.

"Avi baby" She said and throw herself to him. What doesn't she knew he is married. His wife standing here and she threw herself.

Avinash free himself from one hand still didn't let go of my wrist.

"Stay in your limits who ever you are" Avinash said in anger but they both are shameless I guess.

"Avinash it's that my girl wanted to having fun with you. And here I also see you have a beautiful company" that man said with slurry tone looking at me.

"Mr Sinha stay away she's my wife" Avinash said growling.

"But I thought you have some high taste.

...it's doesn't match your taste what you have" that girl said trying to touch Avinash arm but he dodge off.

"Mr Sinha told your girlfriend to shut your mouth otherwise you better know what I have done whom disrespect my family. And for your last information I didn't need some slut in my life. You better give attention to your business Mr Sinha besides enjoying your life you know we never knew what happen suddenly" Avinash spitting so much anger and poison from his words. Both their faces turned pale.

Did my husband that effect in business world?

They both went and I looked at him because I'm not so going to how he said a girl a slut.

"You didn't have to say those words"

I said but he is bust in his phone typing something.

"I didn't hear any bad words about you. And you feel uncomfortable accept that" he said. How he know I feel uncomfortable.

"Bhabhi come I want to meet you someone" Abeer came running to us.

He held my hand and we both went where Maa Papa dadu and Abhi bhaiya stood there talking to a girl. I looked at my back he went somewhere

"Aarushi come meet Nitya Agarwal" Mom said beaming with smile.

"Hy Nitya" I said to her. She is beautiful with  red hairs black eyes fair skin. She is wearing a black dress with full sleeves with a gold pendent in his neck

"Hy bhabhi" She said squeezing on happiness and hugged me I hugged her back

"Finallt Avi bhaiya get married." She said breaking hug

"Yes now our Abhi bhaiya's turn. What say bhai"? Abeer said with a teasing smile to them and they both blush. Something is fishy.

"Aarushi Nitya is my friend's and business partner daughter" Papa said to me and we engaged ourself in talk.

Whole time Abhi bhaiya and Nitya take a glances of each other. They like each other.

"Bhabhi devarni kesi lagi?" Abeer asked me in low voice. I gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

Mr Rathore also join us Nitya congratulates him and hugged him. His behavior is different according to persons. He stand besides me his hand on my waist he caresses it with his fingers drawing patterns.

Butterflies everywhere.....

But why I feel his coat is change yes it is. But why because that girl hugged him that's why. But still he change when I hug him. Why  I'm even thought

"Bhai media is waiting for us outside we need to go" Abhi bhaiya told to us.

"You stay here with Nitya if you feel not good then call Lakshya he is right there you can went to room ok" he told me caresses my waist. I nodded like a child

Why I didn't have any attention or words to reply. I'm not a kid he treat me like

You feel good when he treat like you this....

Shut up

All family members went to interact to media and I'm here talking to Nitya. She's a nice girl calm humble. She's is fashion designer student. She is junior of Abhi bhaiya in school.

We talked for some minutes I feel that Mr Sinha looking at my direction but I turned more to Nitya side so I didn't look at him

Avinash came with everyone he didn't say me anything. Dinner is served but I didn't feel like eating anything. I'm not used to party and all and all of this is higher limit of my introvert character.

I want to go back eat Maggie in some comfy clothes.

"You want to eat something else?" Mr Rathore asked me who sat besides me looking at my plate. I'm playing with my food

"I'm not hungry...just tired" I said with a pout ok I act like a child I even didn't know why?

He nodded and after five minutes we all are went to back door. Abhi bhaiya and Abeer waking front of us and we I and Mr Rathore are walking behind them

Abhi bhaiya and Abeer settled in car at driver seat and passenger seat. Mr Rathore opened back door I make me turned to him and cupped my cheeks from his one hand

"I have some work so can you please go with them. I came back in sometime.  Ok"

"Ok" I said. But I didn't feel good that he didn't come with us or with me.

It's late at night. What is his work at this time....
