Chapter - 12 ʙʜᴀɪʏᴀᴀ!!

Ooh thank God I escaped from there, Aarav Singh Rajvansh you won't be able to to catch me.. uff!! Aanya what were you thinking when you kissed his cheeks.. we just started our relation and I just– arghhh!!

"Aanya beta, take this haldi outside," Aisha's mom said as I smiled nervously and nodded, taking the bowl in my hand.

I went outside and placed the bowl of haldi on the table in front of Aisha. Everyone took turns applying haldi, and when it was my turn, I took a good amount in my hand.

"Aanya, yarr mat karr" I smiled evilly and applied the entire haldi on her face, making others laugh. She huffed and said,

"Teri haldi pe main bhi aise hi karungi," she said as I shook my head and stood up. I was about to turn, but someone bumped into me.

(I will do same in your haldi)

It was none other than Aarav Singh Rajvansh. He held me by my waist, making my eyes widen.

"Be careful Aanya"

Uff he makes my heartbeat raise

Soon, he left my waist, stood at some distance, and eyed me, ignoring the surroundings, making me nervous.

I left to wash my hands, sensing someone following me. About to turn, I was pulled towards him. The same addicting cologne lingered as I inhaled, and he whispered near my ear.

"Caught you"

Fuckk Aanya calm down..

He turned me towards him, pulling me closer. Holding my hand up, he applied the haldi from it to my cheeks. Bringing his face closer to mine, his breath brushed against my lips. I looked into his eyes as he rubbed his cheeks against mine, making my breath hitch..

I'm loving this feeling..

"You are beautiful My Alora "

"And your Handsome My Jaan" I said

"Your Jaan.."

"Yes Mine, only mine"

"Soo much possessive are we?" he said teasingly

"When I have such a handsome boyfie then I have to be possessive right"

"Then I should be more possessive as you are  beautiful" he said making me smile..

I stood on my toes and kissed his cheeks and nose, making him smile. In a very short period of time, he made me feel at home, and I'll always cherish this home..

He is my home, My Jaan..

We were looking at each other letting the silence take over , then I kept my head on his chest hugging him.. he wrapped his hands around me tightly, I wish to be in his arms forever..

"You are my peace" he whispered

"Never leave me Aarav" I said as my eyes were filled with tears. He looked at me and said

"Never ever, I'll always be with you My love" he kept his forehead on mine and closed his eyes..

After some moments we cleaned our face and headed towards outside.. I was walking ahead of him and he was following me with a smile on his face..

"Where were you guys?" Jiya asked

"I had went to wash my hands" I replied smiling nervously. She nodded and looked towards Aarav.

"I had some work" he replied simply

She nodded and approached Aisha. From what I've observed, Jiya is like sunshine, always with a lingering smile on her face. She is a humble and respectful person. To protect this sunshine from any harm, she has her brothers—Aarav, the most protective one who ensures no one hurts her, but that doesn't mean he spoils her. Under his guidance, she has become an adorable person. Vihaan and Atharva, the other brothers, make sure that every wish of hers comes true. She is fortunate to have brothers like them.

And the same goes for Aarohi; she appears to be an introvert. Recently, I've noticed that something is bothering her, but since I'm not that close to her, she hasn't shared it with me.

I heard Aisha calling me, and as I approached her, I discovered my family was with her.

"You are here, I was searching for you.." she said smiling

"I just went to the washroom" I replied and I turned towards my mom to greet her

"Hi mom" I said in a flat tone

"Hello how are you my child" Diva bedi my mom asked

"I'm fine as I should be" I said giving a small smile to her..

"Ooh Mrs Malhotra nice to see you" Siya aunty said coming towards her but I interrupted –

"Aunty she's Mrs bedi now, not Mrs Malhotra" I said as she nodded understand what I meant. This is what I like about her she is understanding not like others who ignore there child's misery..

"AANYA!!" My brother Ansh Bedi yelled but was interrupted

"Don't raise your voice, Mr. Ansh Bedi. Don't forget you're in my territory," Aarav said firmly.

"I'm talking to my sister"

"Ok guys stop making chaos and I don't want any mess in my bestfriend's wedding" I said stopping them.

Aarav sighed and went from there.. I didn't want him to get mad at me..

"Aanya child go with your family and show them their rooms ok" aunty said and I nodded in response and asked them to follow me.

"Aanya you shouldn't have said that" my sister Avni said

"What?"

"That Mrs Malhotra one" I sighed and stood there turning towards them.

"What I said wasn't wrong she isn't Mrs Malhotra now, she doesn't belong to my father."

"Aanya this is what your father thought you, to disrespect your family" I chuckled hearing Mr Rishi bedi's words.

"Don't you dare say anything about my father. Though I was only three years old when he died, and I don't know much about him, you have no right to make comments. If he were here, Mr. Bedi, you wouldn't be here. My father raised me well, even though he wasn't physically present with me," I said, wiping my tears. They know how sensitive I am about my father, yet they still do it.

After showing them their rooms, I went downstairs to lift my mood. In the living room, everyone was engaged in conversation. Dev uncle noticed me and invited me to join. I approached and took a seat on a couch near him, and  Aarav  beside me conversing with his brothers beside me. Soon, my family also arrived and joined us.

"You know Aanya if Yash would be present he would be proud of you" dev uncle said making me smile.

"He always adored you"

"Uncle, can you share more about him? I wanna know as some people don't like to talk about him" I mentioned, refering to my mom, who doesn't want to talk about my dad.

"Ofc why not"

"Yes dad even I wanna hear about 'Mr Yash Malhotra the legendary surgeon' " I chuckled after hearing vihaan call my dad 'legendary surgeon'.

"Legendary surgeon??"

"Oh, you didn't know? He was renowned as a legendary surgeon, successfully completing all of his surgeries," he clarified.

I was now feeling proud to be his daughter..

"When you were born he was so happy, he started dancing seeing you and he used to call you Angel. I asked him why he calls you Angel, he replied – she is my lucky charm, she came to my life as an angel."  We laughed hearing him dancing on my birth.. dad your soo cute..

"The blue eyes you have were his favorite; he inherited them from his great-grandmother, and you inherited them from him. He had always wished that you would have the same eyes as him." I looked towards Aarav; he was already looking at me with soft eyes.

"And you know the funniest thing was that Aarav was jealous about it, whenever he would see you, he used to say why don't I have blue eyes like her. " Uncle laughed and I raised my eyebrow giving him a questioning look.

"Uncle the boy with you was Aarav ?" I asked as a memory hit me..

"Yes" he replied and I laughed as others were giving me weird and questioning looks and Aarav had a horrified look..

"What happened Di" Atharva asked followed by Aisha

"Pagal ho gyi hai kya, kyu has Rahi hai"

(Have you gone crazy why are you laughing)

"You guys won't believe it when I first saw Aarav I guess I was 4 or 5 and I used to call him 'Bhaiya' that too 'Golu bhaiya' " everyone heard and started laughing their asses out..

"Bhaiya bana saiyaan" Atharva said making others confused and I widened my eyes..

"What saiyaan?" Aisha asked..

Tere ehsaasson mein Bheege

lamhato mein,

Mujhko dooba tishnagi si hain

Teri adao se dilkash khatao se

In lamho mein zindagi si hai

Haya ko zara bhool jao

Mere hi tarah pesh aao..
