HIS POV

Getting up early in the morning I walked out of the room with my gym bag but the only thing available close to the gym area was the roof of this house. And I was thankful for that. I haven't missed my exercises even for a single day till today, and that wasn't going to happen any day from now.

Climbing up the stairs I quickly started my exercises while struggling with the thoughts of ill-explicit dealings of Angad and his family. Last night I visited different factory and mill workers in order to collect information and now we're aware of how fast we need to pull things before any mishaps occur prior to the wedding.

While I was working with my thoughts in between my sweaty push-ups, something caught my attention.

A faint tinkling sound of anklets. The jingling of anklets had started to fill the air around. I was in the middle of my pushups and therefore couldn't see much around. Abruptly the noise stopped all at once. For some reason, I felt curious. I tried to look in the direction of the noise but could not move much, but the corner of my eyes caught the source of the noise.

A set of bare feet, whose toes were curling up every second. I tried to look up and what came into my view was a girl in a white saree. The white saree did not look appealing to me unless and until I saw her. The white colour was glowing on her.

A dream came true!

She was beautiful. More than the photographs could ever portray about her. She was phenomenal. The minute my eyes landed on her eyes blinking, I lost balance, but before I could hit the ground I quickly poised myself in the previous position. I avoided looking at her only to not get caught staring. I was a little nervous when it came to things like that. I continued with my exercise trying to breathe normally but it didn't work. I was exhausted already.

For some unknown reason, I tried to look in her direction and found her walking in my direction, very slowly and very carefully. I guess she was trying to not make a noise and get my attention. Her walk was cute, a smile formed over my lips looking at her walk like every step had an explosive under it.

I tried to let her pass and not get myself caught acting like an idiot and making a fool out of myself. Suddenly the melodious clink broke the silence, making me turn around to look at her. Seeing her about to fall on the ground I quickly got up in a millisecond, held her waist and pulled her into my arms, safe.

She stood straight extremely close to my heart with her palms right on my chest, trying to balance herself.

"Ouchh," came her resonating voice.

What caught my attention was her eyes, which locked onto mine with intensity. Neither of us blinked. And just like that my heart again started to beat today, after seeing her this close, closer in my arms. However, her photo alone had the potential to do so, at first.

I wanted to say something, actually much more than that, but my eyes were busy catching the details of her soft and beautiful face. How could someone be so pretty and elegant with only her almond-shaped eyes that had sweeping eyelashes curled upward effortlessly, her eyebrows perfectly arched along with her complimenting delicate nose which had almost the same tint as her glowing soft cheeks and her rose-tinted lips curved naturally into a soft smile, seeing which I couldn't help but bring a smile over mine.

Her expressions were soft yet captivating. She was putting zero effort, yet I was catching a glimpse of every little detail like my life depended upon that.

As I mentioned, she was way more beautiful and expressive than her photographs.

I found her blinking a couple of times, trying to look away from me. Making me realise that she was more restless and anxious than I was. Taking advantage of this I tried to test her emotions.

I brought my fingers close to her face and gently pushed the hair strands behind her ear. She instantly lowered her eyes with my touch, I suppose she felt extremely shy. I bit my lip trying to suppress my smile after seeing her getting affected.

I was affected too.

"Sambhal kar chaliye zara, har waqt bahein nahi hongi hamari sambhalne ko," I said.

(Careful when you walk, My arms won't be there always to shield you)

She immediately responded to my taunting tone and I got to see another version of hers. This one was a little stronger and commanding than before.

"Hume chahiye bhi nahi," she responded in a smooth yet powerful voice.

(I do not even need them)

I struggled to hide my smile and blush to her words, because I did not want to make a fool of myself in front of her hence I shot my eyebrows at her for the words that came out of her mouth and in response to that she pushed me away with her tender hands to leave angrily.

She was cute. Her anger was also cute.

Only turning around she unknowingly stepped up on a dumbbell and slipped over it again. She threw her hands in the air and once again I snaked her waist and pulled her back to my bare chest. Her creamy waist was becoming my weakness.

It felt different. Good but different.

"Are you sure," I asked lazily, bringing my lips closer to her ears.

She angrily looked back at me, but before she could react to my smirking smile, I could not resist the urge to warn her.

"Baahon mein girte girte, mohabbat me mat giriyega hamare," I whispered, diving into her eyes, because it seemed very easy to do that now, and quite difficult to do so with a photograph.

(Do not fall in love with me while falling in my arms)

"Kabhi nahi," she replied with fiery eyes and blushy cheeks.

(Never)

She hurriedly picked up the basket and not once turned back before speeding down to the house.

While she was running away from me, what came to my notice was her hair that almost touched her waist by the ends. Her thick, wavy and silky strands swayed at every step she took, away from me. Also, her height was not one to be ignored she was around four to five inches shorter than me but not petite in front of me.

Out of nowhere, I remember what she was trying to do with that cute little anger, scare me? I chuckled wondering so.

I knelt down and started to pack my things into my bag, but before I could stand up something caught my eye. A piece of jewellery. Hers, I guess.

I picked up that silver jewellery. I tried to figure out for some time what it was since it had a different shape. But concluded that what else could be other than an earring?

Even Jhanvi had a weird collection of earrings.

I fisted it in my palm and stood up before keeping it in my pocket. Wearing my T-shirt I climbed down and reached my room. After taking a bath I got myself busy with my regarding office. I asked my secretary Vinod Mishra, to do the needful for forthcoming issues.

Also here in Mansukhdhar, we had to improve the situation of lands and farmers that were earlier destroyed by Rao's. I informed Daksh Bhaisa about the manpower and supplies that were to be required. And he ordered everyone to start working as soon as possible because we couldn't push it further or else the district could face ugly circumstances.

I made a few calls regarding the arrangements and after a few hours, I walked out of the room reaching my driver's car to check for the clothes that had come from Jaisalmer for today's ceremony. Asking the driver to bring those bags up and I followed behind him. Before he could start climbing up the stairs one of the bags fell to the ground and he looked behind nervously.

"Go up, I'll get it," I assured him since it was a little crowded on the staircase.

He walked away and I put my cell phone in the pocket and collected the documents in one palm to hold the bag.

But before I could, out of nowhere I found her landing on the bag, again. Twice in a day. History of falling noted.

I tried to help her but a lady came to her in concern. However, she dismissed her smilingly saying she was perfectly fine. Though she didn't look fine to me. I'm amused by her anyway. A bunch of crowds dispersed and chose to speak.

"Kaha tha na har waqt bahein nahi hongi hamari sambhalne ko," I said not being able to hide my amusement in my voice.

(I already told you earlier that my arms won't be there always to shield you.)

She looked up at me and gritted her teeth meanwhile I squatted down to her.

A smile was already dancing on my face while she tried to revert back to me. I looked at her position, sitting uncomfortably and wondered if she was okay. Before I could react any further she answered, like she previously did. Fiercely.

"Aur humne bhi kaha tha na hume chahiye bhi nahi," she spoke and tried to sit properly and comfortably over the bag.

(And I also told you, that I do not need them)

She was tough. Even in this situation, she made a change in her favour. I was liking it.

"Really? So you genuinely are comfortable over there?" I asked.

Adding to this, she crossed her legs and sat over the bag, fixing her saree with a poised yet striking attitude.

"Of course just checking the durability!" she said blowing air to her nails and I could not help but chuckle now.

She is adorable. A big size baby. I would dare not say so or she wouldn't stop until she had me killed.

"Did you just laugh at me?" She asked, trying to sound angry.

"Certainly not!" I quickly responded before it fueled her anger.

Something that I'm starting to get afraid of.

"I was just curious if and when could I have my bag back since it has my brother's attire for the engagement," I said and she went pale.

She quickly got up and now nervousness was dancing on her face. To not make her feel guilty and embarrassed anymore I chose to walk away with the bag. But before I could, came her voice that not in my dreams I could ignore.

"Ummm.... Ji suniye," she called out.

(Ummm.... Please listen)

"Ji sunaiye," I smilingly looked at her.

(Yes please say it)

She couldn't form words while peeking into my eyes hence taking my chance I reached her ear with my lips.

"Aapke kaan ki baali hamare paas hai," I said while my heart hammered to be close to her.

(Your earrings, I have them)

I quickly left with the bag, this time I didn't turn around. Only because of the blood rushing up my cheeks. I could not let her see that. I felt too shy.

I hurriedly ran up the stairs not considering my heart had been beating like crazy. Due to some unknown reasons, I tend to become vulnerable in front of her. And I'm not willing to show her that side of mine, because she'll be ruling me in no time. She already is, I guess.

I reached Daksh Bhaisa's room, and Samrit was already there. In no time they got suspicious about my circumstances but I didn't want them to know about it when even I'm not sure about my situation. I quickly handed over the bags and ran out of the room to mine.

All these years, I have commanded attention without even needing to speak, taken initiative in challenging situations, spoken my mind without hesitation, rarely ever second guessed myself and numerous times I have confronted threats head-on. However, today nothing worked. The entire day I tried to avoid her.

Maybe I didn't have the strength to face her. Encounter her delicate features, tender emotions, soft hands, and cute little anger. It only seems smallish but it's a lot bigger to handle. My heart could not take much of it today.

Only when I thought I was done for the day, I was actually done for tonight!

The ceremony was almost over and now was the time to go back to sleep, at least that's what I thought. I held Ishani in my arms after her mother requested, and I was busy trying to have a cheerful conversation with her when I heard Daksh Bhaisa.

"Tejas, I need you to do something for me," he said and Ishani gave him her widest smile.

"Why should I? You did not even let me use your bathroom." I was angry from before.

"Tejas it's serious. I need you to talk to Sunaina," he said and I went pale.
