He doesn,t even knew why he has her pic with him and was about to throw it in dustbin but retreated his hand back and put it inside the drawer of his left side of nightstand.
The moonlight was falling inside the room from the window whose drapes were open. He laid on his king-bed and taking warm and cozy white duvet till his neck eventually he fall in deep sleep.
IN BEDI HOUSE
Author,s pov
The door made a click sound after she turned the doorknob, a very mundanely evident sound for the silent living room.
It was all dark in the living room which she found odd because she is familiar to the sight of her parents not having peaceful sleep until their daughter reach home.
She took light steps towards the stairs crossing the living room sofa. She finally stepped on the on staircase but instantly the room was brightened up and She saw saw her mother leaning on wall with her fingers still hovering over the switch board.
Jaanki raised an eyebrow at her with accusing manner and take a whole inspection of her daughter,s looks.
She snickered, turned her face towards her husband and said " I told you she must've been playing in rain but you said no our daughter is Adult now she is not kid to do such stuff. See what your kid did!!!!!"
She moved both her arms animated from top to bottom at Innayat,s water drenched form.
Her hairs were disheavled and tangled with purple kurti clinging to her skin. Her zipper was heavy with absorbed rain water which was wetting the grey tiles of living room, making it slippery.
Well her jeans is still better than the other two pieces of clothes but only Innayat knew how much wet fabric is sticking again and again with her legs which is uncomfortable as now she is inside not in rain.
Adarsh who was silently observing whole scene and getting things in his head said sternly " What is this Sweety? You are not kid anymore. What if you caught fever?"
Before Innayat could say something Jaanki retorted back " Exactly what if you get sick?? And look at your clothes and wet floor" She sighed in the end
Innayat was silent the whole time actually she was controlling the sneez which was trying to come at wrong timing, Gosh this is definitely going to lead the scolding session and they will restrict her to play in rain.
This time even her dad is not going to help her because he is worried about her health. As a fragile kid her immune system used to be concern for her parents.
And not their fault because She used to catch fever easily most of the time.
Innayat tried to say in low voice " Dad Cab got puncher and It was raining so just accidentally I got soaked in rain- Achhiiiiiiiii"
Amidst of her monologue, a small sneez made its way making her mother glare at her. Innayat bitted her lower lip the released it giving a nervous toothy smile.
Adarsh said " See Innu you were walking in rain what if someone kidnap you?? what if you got into accident? What if some bad people tried to harm you?" His voice held worry and disappointment
Jaanki said " See you started sneezing what if you got cold? Now go and change clothes you also made floor wet".
Innayat nodded her head assuring that she understood and stormed inside her room.
Jaanki knowingly wandered her daughter away because she is aware of overprotective nature of Adarsh. He wants his daughter to be independent but at the same time his life is stuck in their precious princess.
She was just thinking how he will able to let go his princess when they finally have to marry her off.
Innayat came inside her room and removed her zipper first throwing it on the floor. Her room was small but beautiful, has creamy pink colour with purple translucent artificial butterfly on the walls.
Her bed was small size but enough for her small form to have confortable sleep. The mattress has soft fabric with white duvet She has a big blue dreamcatcher with white perals on it,s threads, hanging above the dashboard of bed. A beautiful Bonsai , fairy lamp beside the bed.
Some cute plushies placed on bed.The room was furnished with tiny alluring matierals of decor. Whole room was epitome of it,s owner.
Opening the cupboard she pulled out her silk sleeveless kurti and loose Sharara.Stripping out of her remaining wet clothes she wore the dry ones.
She walked to mirror and grabbed blow-dryer to dry her hairs. In no time she was ready to head bed.She didn't took bath because according to Innayat she already took nice shower in rain so we shouldn't waste water with extra doings.
She layed on bed hugging the pillow like always and comforters till her chin. She fall asleep after such a hectic day.

NEXT DAY
It was Nine in the morning when Shamita, their maid after throwing garbage outside, entered in Bedi house. As always Innayat was in the kitchen, sitting on the counter having apples.
The Apple was not cut into slices instead she was eating as it is. She gave Shamita an adorable smile still having apple "Good Morning Shamita aunty"
Shamita retorted back "Good Morning gudiya. What would you like to eat??"
Innayat pouted while thinking "Ummm....since I,ve off today Can I get panner Sandwiches and pasta???"
Shamita smiled "Of course-"
Before she could complete her words , Jannki interrupted the conversation "No She will make Curry , Veg Biryani, Dal makhni- rice, kachori and Aloo tikki. Also in desert make Gulab jamun and gajar ka halwa.
Innayat was drooling just by hearing the name of so many cuisine" Wah Aj toh meri dawat hi dawat hai "
She said in excitement only to get smack on head by her mother.
( Wow Today will be my feast )
Jaanki scolded " It's not for you stupid girl , it,s for guests who are coming today and don't you dare to eat it before guest"
She said glaring at her, clearly aware of their daughter,s foodie nature.
Innayt rubbed her head alittle " But why? Are they someone special" She asked with curiosity
"Wait a min I will explain you everything" saying this Jaanki started instructing Shamita and also told her to help her cleaning the house and arrangement of furniture.
She took Innayat,s hand , gesturing her to follow.They went out of the kitchen area coming in living room. She made Innayat sit on sofa and placed herself infront of her.
Jaanki said " You remember Mrs Suryavanshi my old friend?? The one we met week ago "
Innayat said recalling " Yes the one sweet aunty who complimented me "
Jaanki smiled and took the hold of both her hands and informed her " She is coming with her son today for your hand"
Innayat was taken aback. She did knew that they had talked about this, but never thought they actually going to tie their son with her.
She felt nervous thinking for the first time someone actually are coming to see her that too with their son.
She is just a average childlish girl , there are lots of other girls way more beautiful and mature than her who will be more suitable for her son.
On top of that they belong to rich high status family so she was feeling inferior just by the thought of meeting Suryavanshi family.
Jaanki sense her nervousness and tried to console her" Listen Innu I know you are feeling nervous but I am sure my child will impress them with her charm and honesty". She smiled in the end to put Innayat in ease.
" And yeah they are coming at eleven O'clock so be ready and wear that golden anarkali which I bought last time for you " Jannki added
Giving a forehead kiss She went kitchen to help Shamita.
Innayat was still scared but went to help her Mother because it was alot of work for two people to do.
Jaanki kicked her out of kitchen saying she will only cause trouble instead of help. After her constant insisting Jaanki told her to dust the windows, table and other furniture.
So picked a old cloth from store room and started dusting, still overthinking about the meet she is going to have.
She was still in her thoughts cleaning the table but cloth was rubbed at the same spot continuously.
Adarsh was coming from his room and noticed Innayat having strees wrinkles on forehead while hand is in loop, repeatingly cleaning same spot.
He already knew that his boss,s family coming to see his daughter.
Adarsh laughed "I think you need to relax they are not going to eat you "
Innayat fliched by sudden disturbance in her chain of thoughts and came out of daze only to see her father already standing in front of her.
Adarsh said further " And stop rubbing this more, otherwise your mom will take my old shirt for dusting".
He sighed remembering how his wife literally used his old pants for moping purpose. It was embarrassing knowing it's your used clothes .
Innayat looked down at brown cloth and left it " Dad What if they didn't like me. What if I didn't liked their son how will I say no ? Mr Shurayvanshi is your boss."
Adarsh furrowed his eyebrows.Although Mr Suryavanshi and Mrs Suryavanshi was genuinely nice people, he knew nothing about their son except he studied in Harvard and came Banglore few years back for taking over their business.
Nevertheless Adarsh assured her " Sweety don,t be scared It's not some sort of test. You also have equal amount of right as much as their son has to reject you. My boss never let personal Matters come in business "
Innayat pouted " What if I reject all men and never want to marry?"
Adarsh laughed " Then I've no problem to grow a black-hole tummy rat in my house" He said patting her head
Innayat said in irritation "Ahhhhh you also called me Rat like Mumma. I am not rat "
Adarsh teased " Says the one who used to leave half eaten cookies in kitchen".
Well that was true. During her childhood she used to eat cookies sneakily in midnight. Not to mention her mother hide the cookies jar.
Adarsh said "Ashhhh you had such a sharp nose, always able to find food from hidden places"
He pinched her nose when she gave a cute glare. Then Leaving her daughter in living he also went kitchen to help ladies.
Putting the dusting scarf in store room Innayat went upstairs in her room.

Divyansh,s Pov
I was in cabin doing my pending work because after that I have to go Bedi,s house to see their daughter.
Even I had no idea why I got convinced to marry her maybe the reason is her innocence.
Although she is literally a child in adult body but it will make her tantrums less in this relationship.
Yeah that,s the reason I'd no problem, as long as She is not bothered by constant lack of attention and love.
I am not capable of reflecting such emotions and she should know better not to have any expectations.
My mind went back to the yesterday night,s encounter with her. I am still wondering how can she eat Ice cream in such Cold, chilly whether.
I swear She is literally something else. A small smile made it,s way on corner of my lips as I reminisced of scenario where she was dancing in rain.
My cabin door suddenly opened from outside and I masked my expression to my regular cold one and about to yell at person for bargaining before the presence who came could turn towards me.
I raised a brow towards Ekaksh who was standing there with both his hands inside his pocket.
He was wearing black high turtle neck t-shirt with brown blazer over it pairing with black pants. His chin length hair was in semi man bun.
He was having his usual smirk while marching towards my direction. After reaching the table he tilted his head still having that annoying smirk.
I rolled my eyes and said with bored tone "What?"
Ekaksh raised his eyebrow "Heard you finally agreed to marry"
"Who told you?" I questioned
Ekaksh said "So It's true . Well Ma called me this morning saying that you guys are going to meet girl today, so I've to be there with you"
One more thing about Ekaksh is that he is an Orphan. His Parents passed away leaving their business behind when he was fourteen years old.
My parents are very fond of him, more like he is Mom,s golden child. She was even willing to adopt him but he refuse saying they did more than enough by giving him love.
He mostly help mom to trap me in doing things which I refuse to do and blind dates are one of them.
I never know when this fucker Would be scheming with Mom behind my back.I sighed thinking obviously Mom wants him to be with me now I agreed to marry.
"Yeah I said yes. So what?" I raised eyebrow
Ekaksh questioned "Is she that beautiful to fascinate the Trayant itself"
I raised my brow in challenge "Do you think it's that easy to fascinate Divyansh Suryavanshi?"
He shrugged "Then what?'
"As a Husband I will provide her with every necessity and respect she deserves but there will always be a limit and I hope she doesn't ask beyond it" I declared
Ekaksh narrowed his eyes "What if she tried to use you?"
I Poked my tongue inside corner of the mouth making a click sound "She is far from cunning and Gold digging Womens I have came across. In conclusion a suitable safe choice for marriage".
Ekaksh grinned "Already defending her even before meeting."
I gritted my teeth and uttered with impassive expression "Don't you think your interpretations are getting too much delusion these days"
He licked his lower lips in mocking manner "Well We will see Mr Divyansh Suryavanshi. For Now let,s go, my car is waiting for you."
I just nodded my head, closing my laptop I passed my bag to my bodyguard.
As we took back seat and Ekaksh commanded driver to take us to address, a hint of anticipation made it,s way in my heart.
I am curious about this girl, the one who left Divyansh Suryavanshi speechless in first encounter.

Author,s pov
It was half an hour before the Suryavanshi family,s arrival when Innayat was walking in her room back and forth in tension.
She was extremely nervous that she didn't even had courage to check the profile of the guy on Internet who she was about to meet.
As a Introvert person she takes time to open up and if the person is very obnoxious it makes her feel unesay.
She only knew about Mr Suryavanshi being acquaintance of her Father and treating them nice, rest she never took interest to know in depth.
Suddenly her phone ringed which had already threw on mattress in frustration. She had called her bestie and sister to check Suryavanshi,s Son on internet for her as she is in no state to have any courage to check because she may overthink alot.
She picked up the phone and accepted the call and an excited yelling were heard from her other.
?? "Hiiii Inuuuu !!! "
" Hii Shiva Actually a family is coming with marriage proposal. I want you to check guy's profile and tell me about him" Innayat said everything hurriedly not even pausing to breath properly.
"Wait!!!!What???And You are telling me this right now???came a astonish filled yell from other side from Shivangi.
"Shiva I just got know few hours hours ago and tried to call your number but you were not picking it up" Innayat replied
"Sorry Innu I was busy But Why you didn,t searched it by yourself? Don't tell me You are again....anxious?" Shivangi apologized
"Yes I think it's better if you check rather than me because I am already scared " Innayat reasoned
"Okay Okay Innu drink some water and relax. I am opening my laptop". Shivangi calmed her down.
Innayat sat on the edge of bed, picking up water bottle she drank some water and tried to relax.
Shivangi said " Innu!!! Listen his Name is Divyansh Suryavanshi and Wowww he is Billionaire,very Rich I must say"
Innayat said immediately : "And how does he look? Does he have clean shave or he is beard? Is he older than me"
Shivangi scrolled further and suddenly yelled in excitement " Damn!! Girl jiju is fucking hot!! Exactly Fictional mafia type!!"
Innayat scrunched her nose "Ahhhh Shiva he is businessman not mafia. Please Came out your novels and tell me more about him"
Shivangi said " Ohooo looking at his Physique he must have atleast eight pack abs. Hayeee What a handsome hunk....But"
"But....." Innayat said anxiously
Shivangi said "In formus it is written he is very rude and Cold person. He even had ruined business of his rivals and literally everyone is scared of him. He also made Akshit Mehra, the CM to kneel and apologize. He doesn't seems like soft person more like dominant guy. He......is known as Tyrant"
"Tyrant..." Innayat,s voice trailed off in end and her stomach made a flip.
"Shiva what should I do?? How will I cop with this scary Mr Tyrant. He is very opposite of my childish personality. What if yelled at me " Innayat got panicked
"Areyee Innu we shouldn't believe everything they write on internet. You are going to meet him today so it will be more convenient to know his true personality " Shivangi tried to implore her.
"I think you are right. I should atleast meet him once maybe he turns out to be opposite and these are just rumors " Innayat said
"Yeah that's like My Innayat " Shivangi replied
Both of them agreed with enthusiasm to ease off the tension.
Jaanki called her from outside telling that Suryavanshi family has arrived. Innayat disconnected the call and looked at her reflection for the last time.
She was wearing Golden anarkali which has silver lining in corners. It has broad neck and full sleeve reaching her wrist with net dupatta.
Her long hair was open with crown made with braids, begin from where partion of hairs are done till the back of her ears.
Few baby hairs are falling on her forehead and a small pearl bindi amidst of her eyebrows. Her thin lips were coated with maroon lipstick with little peachy blush on cheeks.
Taking a deep breath she went out of her room and saw her mother waiting for her outside the room.
Jaanki smiled at her daughter. Innayat took the tea tray from her hands and started taking it living room where everyone was present.
Innayat was looking down all the time. With every step she took, her heartbeat was exhilarating with nervousness.
When they finally reached the living room She didn't even glanced at anyone, only heard their voices but had no courage to look up to guy or any other family members.
She placed the tea on table. Mrs Suryavanshi told her to sit beside her son and she took her seat but her gaze was still down. Suddenly she heard him for the first time since she entered the room.
?? " I don't consume sugar "
She frowned her brows because the voice sound kinda familiar to her. She sneakily glanced to look at the guy beside her, but her jaw dropped on floor by shock.
Innayat muttered "He is that Uncle?? "
