When he came out of the trance , he got shocked by his own act. He gulped thinking about the scene took placed right now and turning around he took hurried steps towards his car. he stumbled on his steps yet managed to balance himself and enter inside the car.
He somehow gained his voice and commanded bodyguards to leave the location. His bodyguards secretly exchanged the looks wondering what's wrong with their boss.
DIVYANSH,S POV
I am sitting on the backside of the car still in disrupt state of what happened to me few minutes ago.Why I behaved in such a foolish way it never happened before.
This whole act of mine was absolutely absurd and not acceptable. I should contain myself and show my usual Alfossness.
Yeah a mere marriage can't do anything to make me intellectually unstable, cannot elicit unnecessary antics.
I was trying to convince myself internally but my gaze went to uncleaned thumb of my right hand. I forgot to wipe the Ice cream from my thumb, it was still wet and didn't dried yet.
I don,t know what came inside my head, but I moved my hand unconsciously near my lips and licked the Ice cream from thumb.
Nothing went wrong for initial few seconds but as the acknowledgement
of this being the same gravel which was on her lips went in , a shiver run along my neck till my hands.
I gulped hard, jerking my hands away from my own vincity, then slowly touching my lips again.
Wow Good, I pulled my own head on the axe. Like c'mon Divyansh was it necessary to lick it? Why didn't used a tissue?..But.. But...she said it's tasty...yeah..yeah just because I wanted to have taste I licked it of course.
"YEAH THAT,S WHY!!"
I yelled to myself in affirmation contrary to abundance of questionnaires running inside me, but then realized the presence of others inside the car and got silent.
I adjusted my suit, Divyansh you are just making clown of yourself so just stop thinking about it.
It's already two in the morning so I,ll have my sleep which apparently I needs and then might wake up at eleven O'clock Tommorow.
Being a CEO of company, I can do my work anytime I want, whether it,s night or morning , so I can also have late wake up as I've to work till midnight. Though as disciplined I am, rarely I had to wake till midnight to complete office work.
I am not addicted to sleep but I do want no disturbance in my sleep till Nine O'clock atleast.
After sometime our car reached Suryavanshi Mansion. Mom and Dad already know I am going to be late.
Well It doesn't matter they know better that I belate most of the time, so I,d already said this before not to wait for me when they came over here to stay.
Suryavanshi mansion is solely mine because my parents live in our mansion which belongs to my deceased grandfather in some other region of Banglore.
They have often offered me to shift with them but I refused because I like to stay alone.
Not to mention my isolation is going to break after two months and I will obliged to share not just my mansion but also my bedroom with my wife.
Well there are many rooms in my mansion so I can use them to seek islolation, my personal space matters alot to me, there is no compromise wholly in that matter.
Entering inside my bedroom I let my body fall on soft Mattress, being exhausted after having tour of whole city. I let out a sigh but eventually a thought striked my sense.
In the mislay of cognitiveness, without even realizing I called her name for the first time. Her name which is about to get my surname after some months.
"Innayat......Innayat......Miss Innayat.....Mrs....Innayat "
Looking at the ceiling of my bedroom I chanted her name few times my voice devoid of any emotion, but snapped out of that unknown the spell and cursed myself again.
Abruptly I stood up from bed and stripped out of my formals, changing my clothes into simple t-shirt and trousers to sleep. I dozed into sleep because of extreme tiredness.
TWO DAYS LATER
I am standing inside a jewelry showroom and searching a perfect ring for Innayat. I could've selected it from their online site, asking them to deliver it on my address.
But guess what?? I had no habit of roaming in city like a dog but my mother would love the fact that her Son is assisting her.
She pursueded me by saying she need to buy some jewelries for Roka ceremony and also I had to select a ring which mom had already told merchant's to bring most valuable stones from Rajasthan.
She won't let me surf online so having no option I had to drive with her to Bhavaya jewels showroom.
I survey the rings aligned in a row displayed glass in front of me trying to see if any of them fit in my requirements of likeness.
A Pale blue sapphire grabbed my attention and my eyes doted on it . It was a small yet highly polished sapphire carved into square shape held in a golden ring with miniature diamond lining around it,s shape.
It's hard to look over the ring and it looked light yet visually mesmerizing.
I gestured my index finger on ring "I want this blue one "
Shopkeeper smiled "Yes Sir I will pack this for you "
Mom came from behind commenting on my choice "Not bad, it is very elegant. Wait lemme buy neckpiece for her with a same sphere "
Mom went to another section telling them to show some neck pieces matching the stone of ring.
I shaked my head and glance down at my wrist watch. Knowing Mom,s love for shopping, My time is definitely going to waste.
My eyes went towards a simple anklet piece. It was made of silver with small flowers curved to give blooming look, attached to its length. It has miniature size diamond in every small flower. Definitely an elegant piece with minimal details.
I nonchalantly ordered without moving my eyes from Anklet "Excuse me. I want to see this Anklet "
Shopkeeper took out the piece from the display and placed it upon the glass, infront of me.
I took the delicate piece in my hands , tracing my fingers on it mindlessly and suddenly the thought of her wearing this Anklet while I trace her skin with my rough fingers came into my head.
I shrugged off the slightly erotic thought before it even linger in my head and glance one more time at Anklet then decided to buy it.
"Pack this Anklet in a small box and hand it to me right now" I instructed them
Shopkeeper obeyed and after sometime handover the grey box in my hand. I saw my mom coming in my direction so I smoothly pushed the box inside my blazer pocket.
"I am done with shopping let's go and ask them to make a bill " Mom finally said the word I want to hear from so long.
I nodded without saying anything and went to counter to pay the prices of things mom bought, also for the grey box which I secretly bought.
AUTHOR,S POV
IN SURAYAVANSHI
FARMHOUSE
Rajveer insisted Mr Adarsh to hold all the Marriage rituals in their farmhouse. One of the reason was to ease the tension from their shoulders and also this is Suryavanshi,s family farmhouse especially because all wedding occasions are held here since generations.
At first Adarsh wasn't convinced as he wanted to take responsibility of his one and only precious Daughter.
After alot of discussion they came to resolution that half of the bride,s wedding finance will be shared by groom side and wedding will be minimalistic. Minimalistic in the sense that not something lavish but according to what Bride,s parents could afford.
Adarsh did felt ashamed letting Rajveer take his Child,s wedding financial responsibility
But Rajveer assured him saying "You are giving us your Precious asset Your Daughter so this is nothing in front of that "
Now whole hall is decorated with lavenders and jasmine.Bouquet of pink Roses were adoring the grayish yellow walls.
The LED lights are hanging from the railings and encircled around pillers radiating fade yellowish light.
There are various tables having sweets, cutlery, fork ,spoons, napkins and dried fruits.
They also had fruit salad of Apple, grapes, oranges, kiwi and raspberry. Waiters were given instructions to serve guests with champagne, juice and red wine.
There were staged place amidst of the hall with two Gold gilded chairs for Bride and groom to sit. This is where Roka ceremony will take place by placing gifts on their laps.
The Crysral three tier Chandelier were hanging from the ceiling making the whole surrounding look etheral.
They had invited a very limited number of guests and the whole wedding would be very private without any interference of media.
Rahima was busy welcoming the guests and Rajveer was talking to his business colleagues. Rahima was very happy because from today wedding rituals are starting from the real sense.
Today is Roka and she has prepared alot of gifts for his daughter-in-law.Everything a girl would like to have. She was squealing secretly thinking about Innayat,s reaction after receiving her gifts.
Rajveer whispered "Careful Rahima just don't creep out the poor girl with your enthusiasm "
Rahima gave him offended look and whisper back "How dare you say that. I am just being loveable Mother-in-law"
Rajveer shook his head "It's seems like instead of Divyansh you are getting married to Innayat "
Rahima retorted back" Just be thankful to me that I made My best friend agree to give her beautiful daughter to your useless son, otherwise he could've die single "
She flipped her hairs sassily and moved towards the group of ladies, started praising her soon to be daughter-in-law with anticipation. Rajveer released a low chuckled whilst looking at Rahima,s behavior.
IN DIVYANSH,S BEDROOM
Divyansh just came out of the shower wearing only towel on his waist and water dripping down from his hairs. He firstly rubbed his hair with dry towel placed on chair then took the dryer to fix his wet hairs.
When he was done he spared a look to kurtas placed on the mattress before him to choose. It was Blue, White and black, all selected by his mother. He contemplated to wear black today which is his favorite color.
As he was about to pick the kurta, his phone vibrated from the nightstand. As he was standing just near it , he stretched his arm to to take the device.It was Innayat who is calling him.
He has saved her name as a "Sugar" in contacts. He picked the call without any delay and a cute whined came from other side
Inaayat whined "Ansh"
Divyansh addressed her with usual stoft tone "Yes Baccha "
Innayat asked immediately "Tell me which color will look good from White, Black and Blue?"
Divyansh got perplexed by her question "But why?"
Innayat pouted " It's being a long time and I wasn't able to choose which color dress I should wear"
He glanced the black attire placed on bed
Divyansh answered "Okay So wear Black "
Innayat scowled after hearing the choice "Black? Ewwww. Mr Tyrant We have Roka ceremony not someone's funeral that I will wear black "
Divyansh narrowed his eyes "Then why do you even have it in option? If you don't find it suitable option for ceremony"
Innayat revealed the reason "Oh that?? Rahima aunty selected some options for me and sent it today early morning "
Divyansh mumbled to himself "Oh that's why even she has same colors "
Innayat declared " I think Blue will be perfect and it's my favorite also. I've to get ready okay byeeee "
And the call is disconnected from her side. Divyansh placed his phone on nightstand and retreating his hand back towards black attire.
But he halted before picking it up and then glanced towards the blue kurta beside it .
He at once picked the blue kurta leaving the black and white one there on the mattress. He went inside the closet to change.
After sometime he was ready and checked himself for the last time in mirror to see if something is out of place or not.
He subconsciously wanted to look best but why, this was questionable whose answer even he doesn't know.
Knowing that Today is his Roka with his soon to be wife somehow made him feel necessity to put efforts on his look especially .
That's why he was using gell to set his baby hair in side and spraying Aquarius men,s perfume to smell like heaven. He was wearing simple black juti and not to mention kurta was paired with white lower.
He bitted his lower lips thinking about all the little conversation he was engaged all this month with Innayat.
Although he was never a fan of gossip or any interaction where usually people share about their social life.
But Innayat is a happy pill who spreads in whole nervous system involuntarily and makes you so habitatual to it that you can't even function if you stops taking it.
In these whole month she pops up in his chat everytime something exciting happen which obviously not so exciting to him.
Like once when she saw two Dog together while walking on the street and she sent their video to Divyansh who was bursting out his range on his employees at that time.
But got a video from her where two dogs were slamming each others mouth with the caption under it saying "Awww they are kissing each other in front of so many people. Can't wait to see their puppies hehehehe "
He dismissed his employees who was relieved to be saved from his anger.
He was ridiculed by the clip and once feel like jumping from the tenth floor but then eventually got confused by thinking what's so cute in this.
But then a idea striked his senses and He replied with intention of messing with her alittle bit.
Divyansh replied back "Baccha how do you know it's gender"
Innayat got confused "huh?"
Divyansh smirked "Why you assumed it as Dog and Bitch when both can also be a male gender "
Innayat exclaimed "OMG !!!!You means they are gay?? Wait it means they can't get pregnant. Anshh I feel sad for them"
Divyansh burst into laughter for the first time and replied " It's okay you can help them to adopt "
Innayat messaged "But I lost their track, now I can't help them. I feel guilty "
Divyansh messaged back "Don't be, what if they are not married and broke up before even getting married "
Innayat got relieved "Ohhhhh yeahhh you are right Ansh. I was feeling guilty for nothing "
He was secretly smiling whole evening
thinking about it. Yes Secretly smiling which is masked by coldness whenever someone comes near him.
Just like this he either listen to her random balbering about how her day are spent and what she ate or just tells her what he did in office when she asks him, but she didn't understood the business terminologies he uses so let it be that's another case.
Even though no matter how much he tells his mind that it was all useless and rubbish talks But Now he is Unknowingly kinda addicted to her daily calls and messages that even if misses one day in-between he stares at his phone in awaiting whole day, even during his work hours thinking why his Baccha didn't called to bother her Mr Tyrant today.
She does stopped disturbing him after she went for shopping for pre wedding rituals. But he thought maybe she become tired because of preparing for wedding.
If you want to ask why didn't he called her himself then don't, because his logicals nowdays are getting out of window even for his rational self also.
According to him It would be waste of time to call Innayat without any reason and he does have alot of work to finish yet he himself glance at his phone every second, getting annoyingly desperate and frustrate that why it's not ringing.
.
.
.
.
.
Now he was going dowstairs in the hall where Ceremony going to held. His gaze went on guests who are just close relatives, some from India rest of them from Banglore.He looked around for his parents but they were busy so he finally got to got chance to do his task.
Divyansh saw the shagun place on table near the stage and stroded towards it. Divyansh pulled out a grey box from his pocket and hide it inside amid somewhere in Shagun.
He was satisfied, there were so many gifts piled up so it would be difficult for his mom to point an unfamiliar box which she obviously didn't bought because he bought when they were shopping.
Bride and her parents was still in their way to come here so in meantime Rahima makes Divyansh to meet guests who reluctantly had to stand there to pay so-called respect to those relatives whom he never encountered before.
This time both his parents was dragging him from one corner to another and he can't even protest because denying his parents under so many gaze will be a sign of disrespect.
As he opened his phone to kill the boredom a message from Sugar popped up on his phone before he could read it, the device got snatched by none other than his Mother.
Rahima glared at her son " Stop using your phone atleast on this auspicious day "
Divyansh resisted "Mom give my phone back "
Rahima sarcastically said "Why? Is ground going to shallow you if you didn't see your mobile for sometime "
Divyansh stared at her and made an excuse " I've to attend very important client,s message "
Rahima countered him "Raj had already told Pankaj to call him for any important matters as you will be busy so Don't you dare to play smart with me"
Divyansh cursed under his breath but both of them saw Bedi,s standing on entrance with shagun in their hands. Rahima smiled and went towards entrance to welcome them.
Divyansh roamed his eyes on whole frame of entrance, trying to find one particular person but failed to spot her among soo many people.
Rahima showed courtesy " Please come inside, we were were waiting for you. Areye But where is Inaayat?"
"Aunty I am here " Innayat yelled from somewhere middle of swarm , stretching her hand up in the air so that everyone will notice her.
Her parents moved from Entrance along with one uncle and one tall girl revealing Innayat who was standing there with cross arms and huff. People in her family branch is taller than her making her disappear behind them.
She was wearing Blue color Long kurti and flare bottom and definitely looking ethereal to Divyansh who appreciated her look silently from far.
Rahima creased her left cheek in endearment "Beta how are you? Do you want to have juice"
Innayat chirped sweetly "It's okay aunty I,d breakfast. I am fine"
Everyone entered inside with shagun, Innayat and Divyansh took their respective seats placed on stage.Even after saying No, Rahima made sure Innayat drink orange juice and some Pulao.
Both Innayat and Divyansh were told to cover their heads. Divyansh had Cotton handkerchief on his head meanwhile Innayat with Red Chunri.
Rahima came near couple with a arti thal, it was a ritual to protect her children from evil eyes. In front of them various sweets were place on table and a white towel were on their lap.
Rahima moved the thal in circle motion then dipped her finger in chandan and rice mixture, applied it amid of eyebrows of both Innayat and Divyansh,s forhead.
She took the flames of dhup and spreaded the whiff of it,s smoke around them.
Rahima affirmed " May God protects you from all evil eyes and intentions"
She kissed the cheek of Innayat affectionately meanwhile Divyansh let out a low inaudible grunt but enough to make Innayat confuse.
Then begin the actual Roka where Rahima came forward and taking a Coconut tied with red thread placed it on Innayat,s lap.
Then she feed her little bit barfi and kaju Katli.She was bestowed with Fruits, dryfruits , some suits, makeup along with bangles.
Rahima also gave her Golden necklace from Bhavaya Jewels. Like this more women's came forward and started feeding the bride.
Now comes Divyansh,s turn where Jaanki and Adarsh gave him white shirt with blazer, anolog watch, socks, Black Shoes , white Kurta , some fruits and a golden chain as a Shagun.
Then they feed him Ladoo which he reluctantly had to eat even after having loathing towards sugary stuffs.
As everyone except Innayat knows about his temper so they didn't tried to make him eat Sweets instead they only feed bride.
The dance program of aunties started where Women came time to time to feed bride, but giving both of them enough time amid to talk.
Innayat pinched the bicep of Divyansh making him giving her questioning look.
Innayat grinned "We are matching so Same pinch "
She pointed to both of their attires, both were wearing blue.
"Did you wore it because I said I,m going to wear blue " Innayat enquired
Divyansh licked his lips " I was about to wear blue before you call me "
It was a pure lie but Innayat looked like she believed him and didn't ask any further.
"Btw...Ummm...it's beautiful dress" Divyansh added even after being bad with words
Innayat turned her gaze to him who was looking in front all this while with no emotions.
Innayat raised her brows "Only dress? Tell me how I am looking Mr Tyrant?? "
Divyansh still didn't moved his gaze, not even sparing her glance but Innayat was looking at him with anticipation of any compliment.
Innayat whined " Mr Tyrant~ Look at me. Don't ignore me "
Divyansh took sharp breath turned his head, looks straight into her eyes and uttered "You are looking like a Blueberry americano"
And he again moved his gaze in front with no emotions planted on his face
Blueberry?? That too Americano? What kind of combination it is?And who the heck sell it? Is it compliment or insult?
Innayat was ridiculed by the contrast of two utterly different things he represented in front of her.
She scoffed and muttered lowly " Duffer!! Humph!!
Divyansh obviously Heard her low words from such a proximity, but didn't said anything instead his head was ducked Slightly down with a small smile crept on his face.
