Chapter - 10 ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ

Author's pov

Everyone was getting ready for the Pooja; tomorrow, the functions would start. No one talked about what had happened yesterday as they didn't want to ruin the mood.

Aanya was in deep thoughts remembering what she had said to Aarav yesterday, Aisha shook her and asked "what are you thinking about Aanu?"

She shook her head and put on her earrings. Aisha sighed, "Aanya, stop worrying about him. I'm sure he will come and talk to you himself. I want my joyful Aanya back, and starting tomorrow, my functions are going to start, so show them what Aanya Malhotra can do."

"I'm thankful to have you in my life, Aisha. You support me, and you were there for me when I needed a best friend," Aanya said, hugging her.

"Even you were there for me. In fact, you saved me from those monsters. If you hadn't come that day, I would've died," Aisha said, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Ok now stop crying it's your wedding week so be happy my bestie" Aanya said with a smile as Aisha nodded.

"I'm going out, you come after getting ready" Aanya said and left from there..

"When are you gonna come dev?"

"I'm on the way bro, have some patience. I know you desperately miss me but have some patience" dev said laughing at him..

"Ooh, just shut up; I have something important to discuss with you," I said, being serious.

"What is it?" he asked. "You first; come, I'll say-" I bumped into someone, causing her to fall.

"Fuck"

I held Aanya as she was about to fall and from the other side dev was shouting like a mad man..

"Mr flirt can't you see and walk" she shouted and I was mesmerized by her beauty, how can someone look this beautiful in traditional outfits..

She snapped her fingers and said "where are you lost Mr flirt?"

"In your beauty" she stood straight glaring at me and this dev was non stop shouting

"Yaah Aarav who is the girl your Flirting with" I sighed and cut the call

(PS: he's wearing airpods)

Ugh, this girl will be the death of me. She was wearing a white anarkali with a golden stone design, and I have observed that she likes wearing white. She looks utterly gorgeous in white. Her gaze, framed by those mesmerizing blue eyes, added a touch of enchantment to the entire ensemble, creating a truly captivating presence.

Aanya's outfit

Aarav's outfit

"You look gorgeous My Alora" I said looking in her ocean blue eyes which always attracts me

"Thank you," she said, hiding her red hue behind her smile, which made me smirk.

I have a good affect on her

Her gaze was on me as if she were checking me out.

"You can stare at me as much you want but we are getting late now" I said with a smirk bringing her out of her La La land..

She shook her head and was about to say something.. I left from there without listening to her..

After Pooja

Everyone was gathered in the living room, discussing tomorrow's function. I was admiring the beauty in front of me, who was busy talking with Aisha. Uff!! Her smile makes my day.

"Tomorrow will be haldi and I want everyone present here on time" Maa sa said and others nodded there head obediently

"Aisha you better get up early" Aisha's mom said sternly

My gaze went to everyone, and they all looked happy. My family is happy, and I don't want anything more. I just wish to be together with my family.

"Aanya, I want to talk to you," I heard Yuvraj say to Aanya. Since he arrived, Aanya had been avoiding him, and he was upset about that.

"I don't want to," she replied in her cold voice. She looks attractive when she talks coldly.

"Aree Aanya beta maaf bhi kardo bechare ko.. wo firse aise nahi karega. Haina yuvraj" my father said helping yuvraj..

"Haa uncle I swear Mai kabhi kisi ko bhi tang nahi karunga" he said making innocent face.. such an actor..

"Okay, if I hear anything bad about you, I swear that will be your last day on this earth," she said, glaring at him as he nodded like a puppy.

"Ok I'll leave now" yuvraj said making us frown.

"Where are YOU going?" I asked

"Ofc home" he replied

"Don't you dare step outside the palace" Maa sa said in a stern voice..

"But-"

"No buts you are like my son, so what if you and Aarav are not talking to each other but you would always come here and stay right" maa sa said

"That's different Rajmata"

"Haww!! Now you'll call me Rajmata... really, Yuvraj? I didn't expect this. I always saw you like my son, and you never considered us yours," Maa Sa shook her head, making a sad face.

"It's not like that, you'll always be my favourite aunt" he said hugging her like a child

"So stay here with us" he nodded at her request making others smile..

"Yuvi Bhai, I really missed you," Jiya said, jumping excitedly.

"I missed you too Lil Princess" he replied caressing her hairs

"Ok everyone, back to your work" I said in a serious voice..

As Aanya was going to her room, I stopped her...

"My Alora where do you think you're going" I said holding her hand and pulling her towards me.

"What do you think you're doing, Aarav?" she narrowed her eyes.

"Just want to see you from close"

"And who do you think you are" she asked

"The guy who likes you" I said with a smile moving her hair strand from her face which was blocking my way..

She breathed heavily and replied - "Aarav please don't"

She was walking away but I held her wrist and pulled her towards me, her back crashed onto my chest as I slide my arm on her waist holding her securely..

"Just one chance and I'll show you the love you deserve My Alora" I whispered in her ear as her breath hitch..

"What if you breaks my heart" I released my breath and replied "that day won't come, if It happens I'm ready to get punished by you"

She sighed and turned towards me rested her hands on my chest and looked in my eyes "I'm tired, I don't want to cry anymore even I want love but I'm scared what if-"

"Shh.. it won't happen just give me a chance and if you don't fall for me, I'll accept it" I replied resting my forehead on hers..

"Ok even I want to move on and don't think that I'm using you to move on from my ex, it's just my heart says to accept you" I chuckleed at her reply

"My love even if you use me I'll never say a word if it helps you to come out of that shit"

I engulfed her in a tight hug closing my eyes feeling her warmth but it was interrupted by someone -

"Ahem! Ahem! If you guys are done then Bhai I have something to tell you" Atharva said teasing us as Aanya pushed me away from her.

"It's nothing like that Atharva" she said covering her red hue with her smile..

"Yeah it's nothing like that" he said with a smirk

I held his ear, I guess I should give him a good beating "Aah!! bhaisa leave my ear.. ok ok I'm sorry"

"You better be"

Aanya went away leaving us alone..

"Soo.. the king is in love haa..." He asked teasing me

"What was the thing you wanted to tell" I asked ignoring his words..

"Bhai that Rehan...."
