•Headquarters, Rathore Empire•

~Next day~

Raghav stood in the cabin of CEO, reporting Abhiraj his today's schedule whereas Abhiraj was busy in signing the important documents which needed his attention.

That was what Raghav did and he was best in it. He has been working under Abhiraj as his personal assistant for 5 years now. And to say he is quite aware of his boss's mood is not wrong.

"Sir, There are only 2 meetings scheduled for today. One with the Elites after 20 minutes and second one is set with the Aroras at sharp 9. And as you ordered, rest of the day is cleared.", Raghav reminded his boss.

"Is the meeting with Arora necessary.", His voice was authoritive and stone cold but only he knew the fact how annoyed he was.

"Yes sir, his pa's calls were increasing day by day, and yesterday he himself pleaded me to arrange a meeting with you saying it's necessary" , Raghav added and he had a proud glint in his eyes mentioning this scenario to him.

"Good.You are learning.", Abhiraj said while making his way towards the Meeting Room, with a ecstatic Surya following him.

•Mehra House•

Ishika was pacing in her room, irritated with the fact that she didn't find any suitable clothes for her first date and it's already 9.

"Uhh! Mumma mere pass toh kapde hi nhi h.", She muttered. Her bhabhi was also at work and thinking all these she fell on the bed on her back.

"Hey bhagwan ye kya haal bna rkha h kmre ka, koi tsunami aayi thi yhan.", Her mother said as she entered her room only to get stuck in the piece of clothing that was lying on the door.

Then her eyes roam around the room and saw there were pile of clothes in every corner of the room.

"Mumma it's my first date, and i don't know what to wear."

"Wear the dress we bought last sunday, it looks good on you.", Her mother praised her and was about to go back but stops when she listens her daughter saying

"Oh my god! Mumma aapko bhukhar toh nhi h kya. Lemme check you. 24 ghanton mein 2 baari taarif. Now your name will surely come in Guinness World Book records. "

Her mother didn't react to her words and walk out of the room, whereas Ishika frowned at her mother non reactive nature.

"Well that's first , okay Ishika think about that later and get ready, only 50 minutes are left." , Mumbling this she entered into the shower.

__________

Time seems to be flying by , with no possibility of slowing down as it was sharp 10 now. But our Ishika was still not ready because she was not able to find her heels.

"Ab kidhr rkh di yrr voh heels." , She bend down to look below the bed while mumbling to herself.

On the other side, Abhiraj was waiting for her in the living room in all his glory. There was not a single emotion on his face and his eyes as always has a deadly glint in his eyes.

Her parents was alarmed and terrified of the consequences their daughter has to face to make The king wait. And why wouldn't they, noone in the world till now had the audacity to make him wait. Here their daughter is already 10 minutes late.

"Hukum do you want to have something till she come?", Her mother asked him clearly ignoring the the bubble of terror formed in her heart.

"No Mrs.Mehra , i am fine. And don't call me by my title. I am your son-in-law , more like your son if you feel that.", He uttered in his normal voice but a little softness, which is now secured for his queen family.

"Okay beta, only if you address me as your mother." , Her mother said lovingly. Long forgotten the fact that he is king and the atmosphere of living become serene.

He didn't get any time to reply her as his attention was stolen by a divine beauty who was descending from stairs. Her head was down, as she lift her head , her eyes widened seeing Abhiraj.

..her outfit...

(Ps: you can imagine whatever you want)

"He is here already?", She questioned in her mind.

"Punctuality, which is far beyond your reach.", her conscience mocked back

She wasn't given any time to reply back when her mother said, "Where were you Ishu , he is waiting here for past 10 minutes."

She checked the time and cutely said,

"I am sorry Abhi , I forgot the track of time."

But he was completely lost in her beauty and when he heard his name from her mouth his heart rate accelerate. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of in-laws by drooling at their daughter. He composed himself and giving her a stiff nod, said "It's alright."

After some time, both left her home her steps halted in middle when she saw 5 luxurious cars were standing in front of her home. She come out of her shock when Abhiraj opened the gate of his car and nudged her to sit.

Once he double check everything and the cars took their speed, Abhiraj put up their partition and shifted close to Ishika.

"We are not going to have that distance between us. Clear.", Abhiraj said not liking how far she was sitting before , but Ishika didn't hear instead of that she was literally checking him out and thought

"Isn't he looking delicious"

..his outfit..

But today luck wasn't on her side. His lips curved into a smirk when she heard her and said in his hushed tone,

"Then you can eat me."

"Huh! What?", She asked stopping her thoughts in between.

"I am looking delicious. Ain't I?", And hearing his statement, she felt exposed and turned her face facing outside.

"Now now now. What mistake I did my majesty to not see that beautiful captivating eyes." , He softly said and turned her face towards him

"You are looking breathtaking my queen." , He complimented in his deep and hushed tone to which Ishika blushed profusely.

"Thank you", she said shyly

"Your red cheeks really suits you especially when I am reason behind this.", He said tucking her hair behind her ears to take a clear view of her cherry cheeks.

All he was thinking that if they taste like cherry when he bite them or her cheeks would be more sweeter.

"Uhh! Don't tease me Abhi. Tell me where are we going?"

He didn't hear anything after Abhi. He just feel a different spark whenever she calls him with that name. Ishika slightly tapped on his hand snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Where were you lost?"

"In you.", Her crimson cheeks were the results of his blunt reply also his intense gaze stuck on her face making her feel self-conscious of herself. And in this process she subconsciously lightly hit on his chest. His eyes darken as a normal reaction but seeing her nervous form, he didn't let her say anything and pulled her close to him and hugged her after making sure she is comfortable enough for that.

"You didn't tell me where are we going?" , She uttered listening his heartbeats ignoring the previous moment.

"Excited. Are we?"

"Yup", She didn't need to said this , her eyes and smile is enough to let him know.

"We are first going to have breakfast as you didn't have any. And then to my favourite place." , He replied adding fuel to her curiosity.

"How did you know that I didn't have my breakfast? And Your favourite place? Which is?"

"It's for me to know and you to find out. And next one , It's a surprise." , He replied her

"Now I don't like surprises." , She muttered and an amused smile formed on his lips.

There little talking session pause when their cars stopped at a lavish restaurant. They both get out of car followed by their bodyguards.

"Are they are going to follow us throughout our journey?", She asked him in a small voice.

"No love, they will be just outside the place and they don't follow us to my favourite place.", He teased her knowing her reaction. And same happened she mumbled "whatever" not realising what the nickname he had given.

They stepped inside and whole place got silent. His aura became cold and dark and Ishika also felt the change in environment and then looked at him and got the explanation of change.

Manager himself came to escort him to his private place. Everyone present their was shit scared and despite of that waitresses were still ogling him. They didn't see direct into his eyes since he don't like that except for a certain someone.

Ishika on the other hand feeling like killing the waitress for eyeing him and whispered

"Why he is so handsome?"

A smile threatened to broke on his face after hearing her statement but he suppressed it.

Time passed and they were sitting in a luxurious room with a huge chandelier in between. The restaurant was based on the idea of sheesh Mahal and the room was exact replica of that.

Ishika was completely mesmerized and Abhiraj was captivated by her. Their trance broke when a waitress asked them for their order.

Her eyes were lingering on Abhiraj more than to both of their liking. And Abhiraj snapped,

"Control your eyes where they are going otherwise it won't take me long to pluck them out. Out and send another waitress. You are fired."

She immediately came into her senses and start begging for her job. But his decision is something that is impossible to change.

On other side Ishika was feeling mixed emotions, she was confused whether to feel sorry for her or feel proud on her man for correcting her.

The matter was soon solved and both ordered their morning meal. Ishika asked for Pyaaz kachori along with a cup of masala chai whereas Abhiraj ordered his usual.

"How can you even eat this? There is so much green in this.", Listening her statement Abhiraj facial expressions changed into an amused ones.

"It's healthy." , He replied

"But that is tasteless. See this kachori, it's so tasty. You wanna taste this?" , Ishika gaped and uttered.

He shook his head side wise saying no, which made her angry.

"Huh! How dare he ignored my tasty kachori."

"You see i am sharing my food with someone for first time and you had audacity to deny me. Taste this." , She said and forward her half eaten kachori to him.

He took the bite and nodded approving the taste but what makes him more happy that she herself fed him.

Both completed their brunch fastly and made their way back to their cars but instead of 5 cars, An astonishing and shining Audi R8 was present.

Abhiraj opened the front passenger seat of the car for her and he himself took the driver seat.

"You are going to drive? And where are others who came with us" , Ishika asked with a confused face.

"Yes love. And they all already back to their assigned position. As said they will not follow us to my favourite place."

Abhiraj interlaced her hands with his right hand and began driving towards his favourite place.
