Happy Reading!

They both fought with each other like enemies just a few hours ago and then they were sitting together as if nothing ever happened. 

Like they both never fought.

 As if they are the most civil person and never fight. 

Arohi and Abhishek fell asleep in the living room while watching the movie.

------------------------------------------------------------

 Next morning..

Arohi was the first one of open her eyes. She was confused find herself in the living room. Then she recalled watching movie with Abhishek.  

She got up from the couch and found Abhishek lying on the couch and was about to fall. Arohi immediately tried to save him from falling but instead they both fell on the ground, due to which Abhishek woke up. Arohi was beneath him and Abhishek was hovering her. 

They both kept on looking at each other. Abhishek removed her hair strands from her face, making her shudder at his touch. Her breathing got hitched by his sudden touch. 

Abhishek got up from her and gave her his hand for support. Arohi looked at him then his hand and he raised his eyebrow to her reaction. She just shook her head and held his hand and stood up.  

Arohi looked around and saw the mess and her face twitched in irritation. Her OCD hit her. She started cleaning everything. She was looking everywhere but him, whereas he was looking only at her.

Once everything was done Arohi rushed to her room to get ready. Abhishek already went upstairs for getting ready. Whereas Mrs. Annie came and started preparing breakfast for the couple.

-------------------------------------------------------

Arohi and Abhishek came out of their room together. Both looked at each other from head to toe.

Abhishek wore a black colored 3-piece Armani suit hugging his body, hair gelled perfectly. She could notice the Rolex watch around his wrist, the Louis Vuitton belt around his waist and feet adorned with Prada loafers, his rich scent engulfing her senses tickling her insides. 

Arohi wore a black jeans and a top with a denim jacket, her feet adorned with grey sneakers, she let her hairs open. He could see vermillion hiding under her hairs and her nuptial chain under her top. She smelled like lavender.

Both of them descended the stairs together and started eating. Both were getting late. 

They entered the elevator together. Arohi rushed out to catch her bus on time. Abhishek got inside his car and drove towards Arohi "Get inside. I will drop you" he said making Arohi shocked. She looked at him in amusement. He chuckled and said "Stop staring and get in wifey". She got inside and they drove off.

"What is the name of your college?" he asked because he didn't know where to drive.

"National Institute of Fashion Technology, Navi Mumbai" she replied changing the song. 

"NIFT?" Abhishek asked stunned by the name of the college. He knows how much effort and knowledge it takes to get into that college. It is India's best college for Designing. He saw her work once and now he is feeling proud of his wife. But can he tell her that?   

"Yeah NIFT. Why is there any issue?" she asked confused of his reaction.

"No but it's NIFT, one of the best colleges in India. It takes a lot of hard work to get into that college" he replied which made her laugh. He stopped the car at the signal and saw her clutching her stomach while laughing. "What?" he asked annoyed off her laughing.

"Sorry. But your reaction was soo funny, I couldn't stop laughing." she stopped laughing "Anyways I know what it takes to get into that college, I gave all the exams. Even I was shocked when I saw the results. Mom and Dad were so happy and proud of me. I was on cloud nine that day, I got into my dream college" she said with a big smile on her face. 

Abhishek dropped her to her college. They bid goodbye to each other and then he left for his office. 

------------------------------------------------------------

In the evening..

Arohi was doing her assignments while sitting on the floor of living room. She plugged her earphones and her hairs were tied in a messy bun.

She was too engrossed in her work that she didn't realize when Abhishek came and sat behind her. He kept looking at his little wife singing songs and doing her work. She was looking so carefree. This is the second time he is seeing her so carefree.

His work finished early today and he was tired, so he decided to relax at home. But after watching Arohi he felt relaxed. Why? Well he himself doesn't know the answer to it.

"She sings well" he said

"Are you praising her" his conscience asked

"Yeah so what I am just praising my wife"

"My wife huh" his conscience smirked

"Aaa... yeah legally she is my wife" he stuttred 

"Yeah of course"

"Shut up"

Arohi suddenly turned around and screamed seeing Abhishek. She kept her hand on her racing heart, her eyes widened with tears. "What the heck you creepo" she shouted on him.

"Huh creepo?" he raised his eyebrow.

"Haa creepo. Aise achanak se kon ake peeche baithta hai. Aur baithna chodo aise kon dekhta hai" she said while getting up from the floor. (Yeah creepo. Who comes suddenly and sits behind. Leave sitting, who started like this)

"Well it's your fault you were busy with you singing that you didn't feel my presence" he said while sitting comfortably on the couch.

Arohi's eyes got wide listening to him "Was.. was I singing that loudly?" She asked.

"Very loud wifey" he whispered.

Arohi took the cushion from the couch and threw it on him. "You're so bad" she said said and went to the kitchen.

She bought water for him and started picking up her stuff.

"Mom has called us for dinner. Actually not called but ordered us to come" he informed her.

"Yep I also got her call. What time do we leave?" She asked

"It's 6.30 now, we'll leave by 7" he said. "Okay I'll be ready" she replied and walked to her room.

_________________________________________

Arohi wore a simple olive coloured kutri, and she just wore red chuda and vermillion and nuptial chain, which enhanced her beauty. She didn't apply any makeup. Whereas Abhishek wore cream coloured pants with white shirt and a Rolex.

Once ready they both left for Mehra Mansion.

The drive to Mehra Mansion was silent. Bollywood songs were playing in the background and Arohi was just humming the songs.

They rang the doorbell and an over excited Ashika opened the door and hugged them. "I missed you both a lot" she said while hugging then.

"I missed you too" Abhishek and Arohi said in unison.

"Ashu at least let them come inside" Bhavna said from inside.

The three of them entered inside. Everyone was sitting in the living room. Arohi touched everyone's feet and took their blessings.

"You both are 5 minutes 21 seconds late" Suket said looking at his watch.

"We were stuck in the traffic dad" Abhishek said rolling his eyes.

"Bhabhi you know" with this Ashika started telling Arohi about anything and everything. Bhavna also joined the conversation. The trio was laughing and giggling.The men were talking about business.

Bhavna and Arohi went to the kitchen to check on the dinner.

"Bhai you know that I love you right" Ashika said hugging her brother. Abhishek raised his eyebrow at her behavior. "What do you want Ashu?" He asked knowing his baby sister.

"I want a new laptop bhai. Mine is not working properly and it's too old" she said making a puppy face.

Ashika knows her brother will never deny her anything, unlike her parents. Ashika asked Bhavna and Suket but they denied. And they even told Triloknath to do the same. But well she do have her brother who Pampers her the most.

"Fi.." Abhishek was cut off in middle by his father. "No Ashu you're not getting the laptop. We already had this discussion right"

Ashika looked at her brother with a pout, he chuckled and ruffled her hairs. He went to the kitchen to see his mother and wife talking about don't know what.

He sat on the kitchen stool and cleared his throat. "Mom have you forgotten that you have a son as well or is it just your daughter-in-law?"

"Don't be jealous Abhi" she smacked his forehead. "I love all my kids equally"

"Yeah I can see that" he said rolling his eyes. Arohi was just giggled at his behavior.

"Go and call everyone the food is ready" Arohi told Abhishek to which he nodded and went to call everyone.

Bhavna was shocked seeing that her son actually listened to his wife. She was happy seeing that they are progressing in their relationship.

Everyone settled on the dinning table and Arohi was served them and then sat beside Abhishek.

"Bhai it's been almost 3 months of your marriage, when are you taking bhabhi in honeymoon?" Ashika asked smiling giddly.

Both Abhishek and Arohi chocked on their food and started coughing.

"Yes Abhi you both should go somewhere" Triloknath said making their eyes go wide.

Well of course they weren't expecting him to say this. Usually the elders don't like this kind of talk, but here he himself is giving them the same looks as others.

"Why don't you take her to Italy. You can show her around" Bhavna suggested.

"No dad Italy not Italy. Bhai you both should go to Paris" Ashika said

"No take her to Switzerland" Triloknath said.

Abhishek and Arohi were looking at them dumbfound. They were red as tomato, due to the embarrassment. They both looked at Suket to stop this conversation.

"Stop it three of you. Let them decide when and where to go. Stop embarrassing my kids" he said making them sigh in relief.

"Fine" Ashika said unhappily "But decide soon haa Bhai" she winked her brother. Abhishek glared her and that was enough for her to foucs on food.

"Ashu they will not take you with them so stop being so excited" Suket said makimg her pout.

They all then talked about business and random things and then bid goodnight and left for their penthouse.

Bhavna told them to stay over but they denied. Ashika teased them for it.

_________________________________________

They made their way towards their private elevator, stepping in. Abhishek pushed the button to his floor.

They looked at the elevator door. Suddenly the elevator jerked so hardly that both stumbled. Arohi held his arm for support and he did the same.

They both held onto each other and realised that the elevator had stopped somewhere between 15-16th floor. Abhishek pressed the emergency buttons and started to make calls.

"What the heck" Arohi muttered in. She just held Abhishek's arm and tried not to loose herself.

"It's okay Aru. You're not alone, he's with you. Everything will be fine" she kept saying this to herself.

"They said it will take a little time" Abhishek said turning towards her.

He saw her looking around and holding his arm tightly. She was sweating.

"Are you okay?" He asked and she nodded.

"Arohi" he held her face with his hands and made her look at him "It's okay I'm with you" he said in a comforting tone.

"I... I.. am cla... claustrophobic" she said stuttering and scared. She put her head on his chest closing her eyes due to the fear

"Shh.. shh it's okay. We will get out very soon okay" he rubbed her back and hairs.

He pulled her down on his laps. He made her sit comfortably as he adjusted his legs.

He kept her close and kept rubbing her back and hairs. She kept her head on his shoulder; her eyes were still close. After sometime her breathing got normal.

Both of them didn't say anything. They just sat like that. Abhishek took hold of Arohi's hand and started caressing it.

"Why" Arohi asked looking at him with teary eyes.
