Happy Reading!

It was the day of the event. Arohi was all nervous and excited. She did her best and was appreciated by everyone. Even some famous designers also praised her work. She was on cloud nine. Both for meeting them personally and getting praised by them.                                    

She simply wore a white top and white pants with navy blue blazer and a blue heels, which was giving her a stunning and professional looks. She kept her hairs open with light curls. 

"Did they announce the results?" Sameer asked putting his hands around Arohi's and Ritika's shoulder.

"Not yet" Ritika replied. They both looked at Arohi whose eyes were closed and she was chanting all the prayer. "Hey relax everything is going to be in your favor" she assured Arohi.

"And the winner for the best dress of the event is Arohi Singhal" 

"Yayyy you did it Aru" both Sameer and Ritika shouted and hugged her tightly.

Arohi was stunned hearing her name. She felt as if she was dreaming. She was so surprised that she became a statue.

Ritika shook her due to which she came back into her senses. "OMG I won. Riti Sameer I won" Arohi said, her eyes got welled up. She hugged them both again.

"Come on the stage and collect your trophy from out honorable chief guest" 

"Go or else I will go" Ritika said and chuckled.

Arohi took a long breath and then walked towards the stage. On her way everyone congratulated her, which she replied with a warm smile. Her MD, professors and other guest clapped for her and she wished them with a sweet smile. It was dark on the stage when she stood beside the chief guest.

"Congratulations Mrs. Arohi Abhishek Mehra" 

Arohi turned towards the source of voice only to be stunned. It was dark but she could recognize that voice.

"What is he doing here" she thought

Abhishek smirked looking at her confused face. She was not at all expecting this. She looked, actually she observed him from top head to toe. 

Well, Abhishek got the invite to the event. He knew that Arohi is in this college, but what he didn't know was that she is participating in it as well. Now he can join the dots hat why she was always busy these days. 

He knows everyone who came as guests and the judges. Everyone has the most peculiar taste. For them to choose her as a winner mean she must have done a really great job. He felt proud that his wife won the competition.

"Here" he forwarded her the trophy which he held with trembling hands. She gulped down and then looked up to him again. Giving him all his time to look into her eyes.

Finally!!!!

"Arohi, come closer for the photograph" someone said from the other side.

She took baby steps and stood beside him. She gasped when she felt his hand snaking around her waist.

"I didn't know you were participating" he whispered. She looked at him with raised brow. His lips turned into a smile. A real and a genuine smile. 

They were lost in their little moment. His breath fanned on her cheeks, sending a tingling sensation down her spine. The camera flashes and the clapping broke their moment.

She wriggled to get out of his hold. When he didn't leave her she lightly punched him with her elbow. He was stunned at her behavior. He didn't think that his little wife would punch him in front of thousands of people, especially when they were on spotlight.

She muttered a small 'thank you' to everyone and smirked at him and got down of the stage. He shook his head at her. 

She walked down and went straight to her friends, which was a big mistake. 

"Aye haye, someone was having a moment with their husband" Ritika said teasingly.

"Ohoo so now someone is blushing huh" Sameer also joined her.

"Guys stop it" Arohi said. Her cheeks red due to their teasing.

"Aru he is so handsome. You won a lottery" Ritika said dreamily. 

"You have a boyfriend Riti" Arohi said glaring her. "Possessive enough" saying Ritika and Sameer started laughing making Arohi blush even more.

Abhishek saw all this from the stage. He could guess by his wife's face what the discussion would be making him smirk. He then notice Sameer which turned his smirk into a frown. 

"What's with him being around my wife?' he thought glaring Sameer

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

Arohi, Ritika and Sameer were talking when Abhishek approached them, glaring Sameer whose hand was on Arohi's shoulder. Abhishek held Arohi by her waist making her eyes widen when she saw Abhishek.

"What are you doing? What if someone sees us? There are many people including some media" she said struggling to get out if his hold. But all her struggles were effortless because in return his eyes only tightened around her waist, for which he got a death glare from her.

"C'mom Aru see how romantic Jeeju is and how unromantic you are. If he doesn't care then why are you worrying" Ritika said winking at her. "Btw hii Jeeju I am Ritika and this is Sameer. We are your wife's bestest friends" she introduced with a smile.

"Nice to meet you" he smiled at Ritika and shook hands with Sameer.

"So jeeju how you feel that your wife won the competition?" Ritika asked in a teasing tone getting a glare from her best friend.

"Well I am proud of my wife. She indeed did a great job" Abhishek replied looking at Arohi with a smile. The smile and the comment were really genuine which even Arohi felt. She smiled back at him.

They were looking at each other when they heard a clicking sound. They broke the moment and looked at Sameer who was clicking their pictures. Ritika and Sameer were laughing seeing Arohi's state. She was red as hell. Even Abhishek smirked seeing her.

"Okay enough all of you" she shouted and went away making them laugh more louder. 

Abhishek went behind her "Arohi" he held her wrist.

"Seriously you also joined them in the teasing huh" she narrowed her eyes at him. She looked just like a child.

"But you looked cute" he said with a sheepish smile.

"Hahaha very funny Abhishek" she said folding her hands. 

They both froze when they realized what she said. His name never sounded so good from someone's mouth. His heart almost lost a beat. Whereas her cheeks got heated. Their breaths got slow and they looked at each other.
