Chapter 166
She ran downstairs at the sound of the doorbell ring.. She was elated and happy. Eventhough they had been meeting together there was something special about tonight. Tonight they had a reason to celebrate together and she knew it had to be special somehow. She stood infront of the door panting ,for a while trying to calm her thudding heart. As she calmed herself Shilpa opened the door and smiled widely.. "Hey " She spoke shyly..
He just stood there leaning to the side of the door. His gaze intense on her eyes staring at her with a longing look. Shilpa sighed and stepped back as he walked inside with a smile... "Hey " He whispered and pulled her in his embrace kissing her softly.. As his lips touched on hers she closed her eyes blissfully enjoying the moment.. As she caressed the back of his hair he chuckled lightly and muttered on her lips.. "I see you have missed me.. "
Shilpa giggled softly and frowned.. "For a moment i thought you wont be able to make it.. "
"Ohh i had to come. " He smiled showing on his dimples.. "After all its the night for you to try something different.. " He teased her as she rolled her eyes..
"Exactly " She grinned at him proudly.. "Now you better tell me whats running in your mind.. "
"Ahaaan.. But No. Let it be surprise.. " He grinned back at her making his way to the stair.. She caught his hand stopping him in midday.. "Just where do you think you are going mister.. " He shook his head noticing her suspicious expression.. "To get fresh... " He spoke softly and stared at her for a while with a strange expression.. " If you want we can stay back home and... You know.. Try something different.. "
She narrowed her eyes at him but at the same time blushed badly hearing his words.. "Oh no i dont think i am going to fall for that. Why dont you stay down while i get dressed.. "
He rolled her eyes seeing her still wearing the bathrobe.. "And here i thought you will be waiting for me like a beautiful bride.. "
Her expressions sobered.. "I actually thought you wont be able to make it.. " She spoke softly but he heard every single word..
"I promised you.. " He replied cupping her face gently.. "And also i was scared you wont let me inside if i didint come tonight.. " He joked softly which made her giggle along with him... "Fine go now and get ready. Take your time Cinderella "
But she didint need much time. He realized as she came downstairs after 15 minutes.. He stood near the window staring outside when he heard her footsteps.. He glanced back and stood mesmerized for a while drinking her beauty.. She wore a beautiful knee length red dress. Almost reminded him of the dress she wore last time to pub.. He smiled widely and walked closer to her as she folded her arms looking around.. "And here i thought you will be gone by now.. "
"Oh i had no idea you were waiting for someone.. " He teased her badly.. "I must say i am heartbroken.. " She grinned at him and played along.. " Ya i was badly waiting for my boyfriend. " She sighed dramatically.. "But i guess i have to be content with you only tonight.. "
He pulled her in her arms which made her squeal and laugh.. He shook his head in wonder.. "I cant believe you are telling around people that i am your boyfriend.. " He slowly spoke matching her dramatic expressions.. "What happiness are you getting by hiding your husband.. "
Shilpa scoffed and pinched on his arms which made him yelp.. "Oh what now.. "
"You know why i am doing this Armaan.. " She spoke seriously "I just cant risk telling anyone yet.. Not even my darling susi " She pouted cutely as he pulled her in his embrace..
"I understand all right.. " He spoke gently.. "Anyways shall we get going now.. "
"Oh wait " She interrupted him cheerfully.. "How is my dress.. I bought it today only.. "
"Its ok ok " He joked which made her smack on his arm.. "Ok no joking you look beautiful and gorgeous like always.. Shall we go now.. ? "
She titled her head and smiled.. "Yes we shall "
They did a private dinner. And did several slow dance enjoying their moment fully.. He kissed her in between trying to get naughty, taking advantage of their privacy which made her laugh good.. They spent the moment in utter peace and silence enjoying the togetherness of them.. Feeling the love and passion between them which never faded.
By midnight she rushed out of the car and walked along with him in the beach in silence.. She twirled around happily which made him smile as he followed her quietly.. " We are on beach again.. Its so peaceful here.. " She smiled noticing the place almost deserted... "But what different thing can we do here.. "
He laughed as she pouted and then grinned at him.. "Miss innocent nothing else runs on your mind than trying something different right.. "
As she rolled her eyes ignoring his words he pulled her back to him gently caressing his face.. " Ofcourse we could do some different. How about staying here till sunrise.. "
Her eyes widened along with her beautiful smile.. "You mean watch sunrise from here.. Thats amazing !! " She shrieked the last part which made him wince at first.. "Did you just shout.. " He asked her teasingly as she back away embarrassed.. "Oh I didint mean to.. " Shilpa glanced around placing a hand on her mouth.. "I got excited.. "
His eyes gleamed in appreciation.. "I am glad about that.. "
She ignored the huskiness in his voice and changed the subject.. "But we cant stay for that long.. Its already growing cold.. " She spoke rubbing her arms..
Armaan just shook his head and smiled.. "Trust me.. I have a plan.. "
She smiled widely as he came closer walking along with her in the beach heading to a mysterious place. She had no idea where he was taking her but she knew like always he was going to surprise her.. Enjoying the moment for a while she draped her arms on his hip placing her head on his shoulder.. He sighed along with her staring in the dark sea.. "You know why i love coming to beach.. "
As she titled her head at him he answered.. "This is a place which makes you quiet for a peace for my eyes.. "
"Oh very funny " She smacked his arms smiling at him.. "Its peaceful here. I can just spend hours in your arms " He replied hugging him tightly..
"That is exactly my plan.. " He replied and dragged her forward.. "Just look up.. "
Shilpa glanced up stunned to notice a small two floor tent.. She admired the beauty of it as he scooped her in his arms which made her squeal in surprise.. "Oh Armaan what.. "
He interrupted her smoothly.. We are going upstairs of this tent.. " He replied softly as she stared at him in daze.. He took her inside and walked in small stairs heading to upstairs.. He put her down as she gasped looking oustide the big window.. "Oh this is beautiful.. " She spoke in wonder glancing around the big sea.. "The view is going to be lovely when sun rises " She mused happily as he joined her.. "This is a famous tourist spot i knew you would like it.."
"I love it.. " She replied happily and glanced around.. "This is a empty space.. People must be doing party here.. " She spoke noticing the area.. She glanced back at Armaan who stood with a blanket in his hand..
"Where did you get it.. " She asked surprised.. He just shrugged and smiled.. Instead of answering her he offered her his hand which she took gladly.. He set down and pulled her in between his legs. She nestled closer to him and placed her head on his chest..
They set in deep silence for a long time but Shilpa broke it soon.. "Oh i feel cold"
She muttered shivering slightly... Armaan chuckled and pulled the blanket on them.. "Better "
"Cozy " She replied smiling softly nestling closer in his embrace..
After a while she pulled away a little and stared at him.. "I wonder why you are so romantic.. "
He narrowed his eyes at her and laughed.. "I guess thats because you wont it from me.. "
She giggled and stared at him lovingly for a while.. Armaan sighed and closed his eyes leaning his head on the wall. Shilpa shifted closer and caressed his cheeks.. "So Armaan tell me about your friends.. "
"Oh you want to talk.. " He frowned.. "And here i thought you wont to romance.. "
She cast a warning glance at him, he chuckled.. "I have already told you about them.. "
She nodded and frowned.. "But what about Seema.. "
"What about her.. " He frowned along with her.. "Oh dont tell me you think i have a affair with her.. " He spoke dramatically as she rolled her eyes..
"Armaan Mallik the last person to have an affair.. " She spoke with a teasing look.. "I dont why i feel.. " Her voice trailed off as she tried to put on her insecurity feelings.. "Armaan i think she really likes you.. "
He stared at her for a while and laughed.. "Well i guess. I am flattered.. "
She smacked his arm... "Ok sorry no joking.. Seema is just a good friend and you know it.. "
"I do know.. " She spoke frowning.. "I just hope Seema knows that " And i hope she is not expecting more..
"Keep aside Seema talk will you.. " He spoke slightly irritated and closed her eyes.. She bit her lip and leaned and him brushing her lips on his.. "I am sorry.. "
"Hmmm " He smiled softly still his eyes closed..
"I dont want to behave like a jealous wife.. " She explained to him smoothly.. Armaan opened his eyes and teased her.. "Oh be jealous i think i like it.. "
She shook her head as he laughed softly... And then his expressions suddenly sobered.. "Come back to home with me.. "
She bit her lower lip and glanced outside.. "I dont think we should repeat the same talks.. "
Armaan sighed miserably and held her in his arms...
"You must be thinking i am such a coward.. " She spoke softly looking his eyes..
"Do i ?? " Armaan questioned her quietly.. "I just dont feel happy seeing you hide from everyone.. "
Her eyes grew misty as tears formed in them.. "I know.. " She sniffed softly.. "Even i feel bad about it.. Sometimes frustrating, sometime helpless.. " She titled her head.. "But you know right i dont have much choice.. "
"And thats exactly the place where i feel coward and helpless.. " He replied back to her with equal pain in his eyes.. "Ask me how i feel to wake in that home and not seeing you on my bed.. " He sighed and held her close.. "You deserve to be there.. "
"I am scared " She spoke in a cracked voice.. "What if they take you away from me again.. " He tried to protest as tears fell from her eyes.. "I have no one else to trust, love or depend on.. I am sorry i am getting selfish in this situation.. But... "
He silenced her by kissing her deeply pouring out his love.. She moaned and gave up all her thoughts surrendering herself into his kiss..He broke the kiss and traced her cheek with his lips.. "Lets not talk about it and enjoy.. "
She yawned and gave a sheepish smile.. "Enjoy ?? I dont think so now i am sleepy.."
He pulled the blanket close around them as she placed her head back on his chest.. His own eyes closed as he smiled.. "So sleep. Thats exactly how we will enjoy.. "
Shilpa was deeply comfortable and cozy.. She didint wont to ever wake up. All she wanted was enjoying being his arms.. But unwillingly she opened her eyes as he nudged her more... "Get up sleepyhead.. "
She moaned and closer her eyes again as he shook her more.. "Wake up. You are going to miss the sunrise.. "
She muttered something under her breath and rubbed her eyes looking around.. "What time is it.. "
"Past 5 am now.. Come near the window see the sun is about to rise.. "
Her mind protested but she went along with him and stood near the window shivering again.. It was early morning and again it was cold.. She rubbed her arms as he pulled the blanket around her.. She glanced back at him smiling as he hugged her from behind.. "See ahead or you will miss it.. "
She blushed softly and stood mesmerized as she watched the sunrise.. "Oh its so beautiful.. " She spoke blissfully leaning back her head on his shoulder.. He brushed light kisses on her neck staring outside.. "Its beautiful. And its more beautiful enjoying the sunrise with you in my arms.. "
She turned around and hugged him closer.. He closed his eyes as she rubbed his back softly.. " Thank you Armaan for all this.. You are such a perfect husband.. "
He just smiled and brushed his lips on hers which made her shiver slightly.. "I think we should head back home. I can fix you a breakfast then you can head back to office.. "
Armaan shook his head disagreeing... "And i think we should headback home. Forget breakfast for a while and sleep together in your soft bed.. "
She blushed more and shook her head.. "But your office.. They will worry.."
"Let them.. " He smiled.. "Am too tired to go today i will go home and sleep.. "
"Ok fine fine. " She spoke dramatically again which made him laugh.. "Just as you say. "

Can Seema's confession bring a new turn in Armaan and Shilpa's life..
Seema : Armaan i have always wanted to tell you. Am sorry i have to say in such a haste. But i really like you.. Now i want to know how you feel about me..
Armaan : Seem... I am sorry but this is not possible.. I Mean... I have no feeling to you and never will..
Shilpa : I May be soft hearted to everyone, but i am too selfish enough to give up on you to anyone else... If she wants you she have to face me first..

Part 5
"You got to be kidding me " Natasha gaped at Seema who set upset.. "He actually ditched you last night.. "
Seema felt more depressed.. "When i cameback he was gone. God knows where.. And he didint even come to office today.. " She sighed sadly.. "I hope he isint sick again.. "
Natasha shook her head taking a sip from her drink.. " You care so much for him and he hardly even glance at you.. " She pressed Seema's hand.. "Listen to me Seema forget about him before you end up hurt.. "
Seema grimaced on her words.. "You know i cant forget him. I have feelings for him.. "
"Then get some courage and tell him ! " Natasha spoke firmly..
Seema stared at her for a while thinking over the matter... "Ok i will talk to him " She nodded her head in agreement..
"Whats the time.. " Armaan asked in his sleepy voice as he felt her shift beside him.. Shilpa sighed and buried her head on the pillow.. "Past 3 pm.. "
Armaan grinned at her annoyance.. "Thats a hell of time for sleep.. " He sank on the bed blissfully.. "I am so relaxed.. "
Shilpa turned around facing him with a frown.. She touched his forehead.. " Good that Your fever is gone "
"Its gone long back.. " He rolled his eyes and stared in her eyes lovingly.. "I wont say there arent people who care for me.. But no one can care for me like the way you do.. "
"Just like you do " She gave a soft smile to him.. "We take care of eachother.. "
He grew silent and spoke... "Why are you not willing to comeback with me..?"
"You already know why " Shilpa spoke not meeting his gaze.. "I am not exactly what your parents want "
He grew angry and pulled her close.. "We both know they cant change anything.. They cant take you away from me.. "
Shilpa shook her head as her lips trembled.. "That wont stop them from trying.. Why cant you understand i dont want to loose you. "
As she turned away from him , burying her face in the pillow he realized she had got angry with him.. He sighed feeling miserable and upset. No matter how hard he tried to take away her insecurities she wouldnt listen. But he knew he couldnt press her too hard..
"I am sorry.. " He spoke hugging her close.. She lay still without a response which worried him..
Minutes passed but no response came.. "Are you still angry.. ? I said i am sorry.. " Still no response from her. She just lay underneath him stiffly.. He frowned badly as he felt her take deep breaths..
"Shilpa " He nudged her turning her around so she could face him.. Astonished her stared down at her and laughed.. " And then Cinderella fell asleep.. "
"Armaan... Armaan !! Listen to me.. " Seema called out as she came beside Armaan in a hurry.. Armaan glanced at her surprised and then smiled.. "Hey Seema. May i ask you why are you running.. "
"What am i supposed to do then.. " She shrugged her shoulder with a dramatic sigh.. "You always keep running away. So in order to catch up with you others need to run to.. Even last night you ran away.. "
His smile faded off as glanced away troubled.. Seema frowned and spoke softly.. "Tell me something Armaan. What is that so important that you keep hiding from us so badly.. "
"Something very important.. " He mumbled softly... Before she could question again he changed the topic.. "We shall start the work on the project right away.. It needs to be completed soon.. "
Seema followed him inside the cabin quietly.. She had questions in her mind.. Several question for which she knew she was never getting answers. Still it made her curious. What was he always hiding. Whenver she tried to inquire he would avoid the topic somehow. What important thing was this man hiding.. Was he having a secret lover somewhere... Stop it Seema.. She scolded herself silently.. This is Armaan Mallik.. And instead of doubting on him you need to tell him what you feel.. Maybe he feels something for me.. Maybe he is too shy to tell..
Consoling herself gave her more courage to face him.. Seema stood infront of him and cleared her throat which made him look up from the file.. "What is it Armaan."
Seema was glad she had closed the door. She wished to do the talk alone with him without any disturbance.. "We need to talk Armaan. I have... I need to tell you something very important.. "
He smiled and put down his file.. "Ok then tell me.. "
Seema fiddled with the hem of her kurtha and glanced at him shyly.. "Armaan.. I think... I have some special feelings towards you.. "
He went still at once.. He stared at her with dead shock.. "Excuse me.. "
Seema felt disappointed with his reaction... "I like you Armaan.. I like you a lot.. Maybe even love.. "
Armaan frowned at her badly... Truly she had shocked him with her sudden confession.. He had never thought he would hear something like this from her..
Seema felt upset with his change in expression.. "You dont need to look so upset about it.. "
Armaan glanced away and whispered.. "That is bad.. Very bad.. "
Seema protested at once.. Armaan i have always wanted to tell you. Am sorry i have to say in such a haste. But i really like you.. " She paused for a second and smiled at him expectantly... " Now i want to know how you feel about me.. "
His eyes widened.. He hadnt ever expected this. Even if he knew how she felt beforehand he would have brought a dead stop to this.. He sighed miserably and glanced at her guiltily... "Seema... I am sorry but this is not possible.. I Mean... I have no feeling to you and never will."
Seema stared at him stunned as he stammered out his feelings. She felt crushed and lost. She had expected he would have been getting atleast a little feeling towards her.. But everything had turn upside down.. At the moment she regretted confessing her feelings..
"So may i ask why are you rejecting my feelings.. " She bit out after a moment of silence.. Armaan shook his head instantly.. "I am not rejecting... Oh maybe i am.. Thats the best thing i could do.. You have to understand Seema. You cant force someone to love you.. "
His words hurts so bad which angered her more.. She clenched her fist and spoke tightly... "Is there someone else in your life.. "
" I really dont wish to discuss this Seema.. " He spoke firmly "For you the best would be to forget this crush on me.. "
She protested again.. "Its no crush... " She spoke desperately.. "I really like you Armaan.. You have to understand me.. "
"And you need to understand me Seema.. " He spoke gently... "You cant have me. And we are not meant for eachother.. Soon you will realize it... "
She stood stunned as he walked out of the cabin in hurry.. She stared at his retreating back as hurtful tears formed in her eyes..
Armaan raised his eyebrow as he stood beside her while she cooked.. "I was talking to you Shilpa. And i thought you were upset with me.. " He shook his head.. "And you were busy falling asleep.. "
She giggled.. "Sleeping helps me to control my annoyance.. "
He snorted at her and stood distracted for while lost in his thoughts.. She shook her head and leaned towards him.. "Give me a kiss.. "
He rolled his eyes and kissed her softly.. Shilpa realized something was bothering him. He had been distracted since he came.. "Whats bothering you Armaan ?? "
Her gentleness made him smile.. He took her hand and took her to the sofa.. Shilpa set beside him and frowned.. "Something went very wrong right ?? "
Armaan stared down for a while and nodded.. "Very bad.. Something unexpected happen today.. "
Shilpa shifted uncomfortably.. She had a feeling she was going to hear something not so good.. "Tell me Armaan... Whats bothering you.. "
"Seema " Armaan replied quietly... " She told me she has feelings for me.. "
Shilpa didint react... She set silent for a long moment.. He couldnt make out whether she was upset or angry. She showed no expressions..Armaan pressed her hand concerned.. "Shilpa.. I know its shocking to hear.. Even i was stunned i still cant believe.. "
Shilpa shook her head disagreeing.. " I had a feeling about this. I had a feeling this was happening.. "
"But.. " Armaan was confused... "How ?? "
Shilpa just smiled... " When you told me about her i had a feeling she was getting some feelings about you.. I was scared it would come true.. "
Armaan sighed and buried his head in his hand.. Shilpa rubbed his shoulder comfortingly.. "I didint want this to happen.. " Armaan spoke softly.. "I dont want her to be hurt.. "
Shilpa nodded agreeing with him.. "Yes.. She is expecting the impossible thing to happen.. "
Armaan glanced at her with a smug look.. "You sound so sure she cant have me.. "
"That i am " She grinned at him.. "I know how madly you are in love with me.. " She mused dramatically which made him chuckle..
The playfulness faded off as she grew serious.. " I May be soft hearted to everyone, but i am too selfish enough to give up on you to anyone else... If she wants you she have to face me first.. "
"Woah " Armaan smiled... "That sounds pretty good. So you mean if she becomes a villain and tries to snatch me... "
"I will snatch you back from her.. " She winked at him.. " She never had you. She never will. You are mine.. "
He loved when she would speak with such confidence.. He loved the way she had trust towards their relationship.. And it exactly made him forget all his worries..
"I am yours forever.. " He smiled at her kissing her cheeks...
She smiled back at him and then frowned.. " I think you should talk to her gently Armaan. Explain her as a good friend.. maybe she will understand.. "
"I guess you are right.. " He drawled softly.. "I will do it. "
He spotted Seema who set in the bench in the dark corridor.. He sighed and set beside her leaning to the wall.. "Hey Seema.. "
"Hi " Seema replied stiffly...
"Are you still angry with me.. " Armaan asked her softly... Seema just shook her head as she didint feel like talking to him.. Too much thoughts kept running in her head..
"Try to understand me Seema.. " Armaan spoke gently.. "I really do care for you. But as a good friend. You have always been a great friend to me.. I can never forget that.. "
Seema relaxed a bit and glanced at him... Armaan spoke again.. "Whatever talk we did i guess we should forget it.. Its better to not talk about something which cant ever happen.. I cant loose you. You are one of my good friend.. Do you think we should end this friendship for such a silly reason.. "
Seema studied him for a while and gave a nod agreeing with him.. "I guess you are saying correct Armaan.. "
He relaxed feeling relieved.. "I am so happy you understood. We cant loose this friendship.. We will always remain great friends.. Right ?? "
Seema smiled with him and agreed.. "Yes Armaan.. Friends forever.. "
He pressed her hand smiling... "I know.. I trust you on this "
But I trusted you !!!
"How can you do this to me Seema... I trusted you... "
He turned back as their parents approached them...
"Armaan !! We are happy for you Both.. Seema just told us.. We are so glad finally you agreed to get engage to Seema "

Part 6
" No Dad " Seema disagreed instantly.. "I dont think this is a good idea..
"Seema " He sighed " Mallik family had contacted us as soon as we returned from abroad.. I guess this will be a very good decision for your life.. And whats the problem as far as i know you like the boy.. "
"But dad " She protested.. "Armaan... "
Simi Raichand interrupted her instantly.. " Seema.. As your parents we wont think bad of you darling. This is the best thing which can ever happen with you. Dont say no so easily. Think about it.. "
Mihir Raichand nodded in agreement.. "Exactly Seema. And can you imagine what a big event it would be when two powerful families get together in a relation. This is for the best dear. As your mother said think over it.. "
Seema silently stared at her parents. Lost in her thoughts she nodded and headed back to her room..
"Armaan !! NO ! " Shilpa shrieked as she took a step back.. Armaan winced and shook his head " You need to control your voice.. Its hurting my ears.. "
Ignoring his remark again she took a step back as he came forward.. "No Armaan.. Whatever you do i am not coming in shower with you.. "
He scoffed shaking his head.. "I am not asking to do something so impossible.."
He sighed dramatically which made her giggle.. She bit her lip as a blush formed on her cheeks.. "I told you i already took a shower an hour before.. "
"No big deal. " He advanced towards her with a teasing look.. Shilpa shrieked which made him wince more..
"Oh oneday i am going to tape your mouth.. " He whispered as he pulled her in his arms roughly.. Shilpa grinned at him.. "When you have such a quiet husband the wife needs to make all noises.. "
His grin grew wide as he whispered huskily.. "Ohh i know you do make noises.. Specially the noises you make when we are busy in bed... "
Her smile faded off as her face heated up hearing his words.. She stammered loss of words which made him laugh.. "So finally nothing to say.. ?? "
Shilpa moaned softly as he bend down caressing her neck with his lip.. He rubbed it on her sensitive point which made her gasp softly... "Trust me i enjoy more when you make such soft noises.. " He muttered darkly while nibbling her skin boldly... Shilpa tried to gain control on herself, but she was loosing it. Still she forced herself to remind of the dinner on stove which could burn any minute..
He frowned as she drew back and stared... "Now what ? "
With a blank look she blurted out.. " Close your eyes.."
"Huh ? "
"Close your eyes " She gave a shy look.. " I have to give you something.."
"Oh yea " He smirked and closed her eyes..
Shilpa stared at him for a while and giggled.. She sneaked out of the room quietly only to hear him complain... "Not Again !! "
"Hey again " Shilpa whispered peeking inside the room.. Armaan ignored her and set on the bed drying his hair with the towel..
"Still angry.. " She asked with a pout which did no wonders on him.. Shilpa set beside him and took the towel from him while he gave her a look..
"Let me do it for you.. " She set up on the bed and started to dry his hair while he muttered softly.. "Do you even want to do what i want ? "
He wanted to take back the words as she stilled as her hurt filled in her eyes.. But instead of reacting she hid the hurt and got back on her work..
"I am sorry. That was out of line.. " He spoke quietly.. " I am sorry.. "
"Its ok " She sighed and kept massaging his head which felt good. He frowned slightly and took the towel from her hand..
Shilpa shifted slightly as she realized she was sitting on his lap. Which surely please him.. "Wait"
"What ? " She asked nervously as he ran his hand on her bare arm She shivered slightly as her cheeks grew warm.. "It feels good to have you close.. " He whispered while holding her closer.. "I cant believe you still feel shy Its been long 3 years.. "
Her eyes widened as she protested.. "I am not shy.. "
He grinned at her refusal and pinned her on the bed beneath him.. She gasped surprised with his sudden move.. "See that blush on your cheeks. What does that mean.. "
"Oh you just shut up.. " She muttered with a irritated look while trying hard not to blush anymore.. He laughed softly and kissed her fully on the lips "I don't mind.. Infact I really.. " He nibbled her lip more.. "Really like it.. "
"Ohh " She moaned and tried to push him away... "Ahhh Armaan go and shave first.. "
He ran a hand on his grown beard and smirked.. "Its not that bad.. "
She rolled her eyes.. "You did take a bath right couldnt you go and shave off that beard.. "
"Not in mood for that " He muttered and leaned down kissing her once again.. As she turned her head to a side he traced his lips on her neck which made her gasp.. "Dont do it.. That really tingles.. "
"Is it so... " He asked innocently.. Before she could protest further he gripped her hands and started to tease her by brushing his beard on her neck..
"Oh you such a devil.. " She cursed and started to giggle as he rubbed his beard on her collarbone.. For about 10 minutes he tortured her while she kept giggling and cursing beneath him. Finally as he was satisfied he stared down at her and grinned. Her breathing was shallow while her face was all red.. Desire built through him seeing the rosiness on her cheeks.. He nibbled her lips and whispered.. "Play time over Cinderella.. Now its time for some real lesson.. "
2 hours Later :
Armaan got out of his car grinning to himself. He ran a hand on his smooth cheeks.. He remembered how she refused to make love with him if he didint shave.. No matter how much he seduced her she stick to her decision.. Whistling softly he walked inside the house.. His steps came to a halt as he noticed some guests who stood in the living area. Thats when he noticed Seema who stood along with her parents.. As he stared at her she refused to meet his eyes and looked away.. He took a step forward as Veena came to him with a big smile.. "Finally Armaan. So glad you could make it on time."
He gave a confused nod as his father joined them.. "Where were you whole day " He muttered..
Armaan looked away and mumbled.. "I had some important work.. "
"On sunday.. " Balraj asked suspiciously.. "Anyways go upstairs and get ready.. "
"May i ask why " Armaan asked quietly.. He started to realize something big was happening here.
"Go and get ready " Balraj spoke firmly..
Maybe its just a party.. Armaan thought unhappily as he headed upstairs.. 15 minutes later he joined them all changed and fresh. Veena came to him once again beaming happily.. "Oh Armaan you look so handsome.. "
Armaan gave a small smile and glanced around unhappily.. "May i ask whats the occasion.."
"Oh Just.. " Veena ignored his confusion.. "Why dont you go and talk to Seema for a while.. "
His curiosity grew more as he joined Seema who looked away nervously.. "Hey Seema.. I dont know why my parents arent telling me whats the occasion here.. "
"Ohh " Seema said trying to give him a smile.. But failed.. "Armaan.. I need to tell you something.."
"Sure.. Say.. " He spoke looking around...
"Its our engagement Armaan.. " Seema spoke quietly refusing to meet his eyes..
"Excuse me.. " Armaan blurted out.. And then He started to realize what she had said.. "Our engagement ?? "
"Yes " She spoke miserably.. "Dad talked to me.. I just couldnt refuse.. " She glanced at him sadly.. "I am so sorry Armaan.. I know its wrong.. But i like you so much.. "
Armaan shook his head in numb disbelief... His head was spinning... "I cant believe this.. You let this happen.. ?? You know we already had cleared everything.. "
"But Armaan.. " She protested..
"No No " Armaan shook his head.. " I cleared out to you how i feel about this. And then we both agreed we will remain friends.. "
"I am so Sorry Armaan.. " She bit her lip as her eyes grew misty..
Armaan's head was spinning.. All he could think of was Shilpa.. What would happen to their life.. "How can you do this to me Seema.. " He shook his head with hurt filled eyes.. "I trusted you.. "
He turned back quietly as their parents approached them... " Armaan..!! We are happy for you both.. Seema did tell us you have no objection with this Engagement.. "
"Surely Seema must have told.. " Armaan spoke sarcastically while Seema gave a guilty look..
"I am sorry Armaan.. " She turned to him as their parents left.. "I know it was wrong to lie.. ""Stop it there right now.. " Armaan spoke angrily.. "I have now realized how truthful you are. I dont expect hearing any explanation from you anymore.. And about this engagement.. Its not happening.."
Seema stared at him in shock as he walked away furiously... "Oh what i have i done.."
Armaan knew he had to act fast.. He took his phone and dialed her number.. "Shilpa ! Listen to me carefully.. "
"Ladies and Gentlemen... " Baljraj spoke joining the crowd.. "Welcome to the Engagement of Armaan Mallik and Seema Raichand.. "
"Stop it right there Dad ! " Armaan spoke loudly as he joined him.. Balraj glanced at him angrily.. "I told you Armaan. Dont dare make any scene.. "
"Sure dad.. " He spoke gritting his teeth.. "Now before i make a public scene you better send away the guests.. I promise you it will be nasty enough when i reject to do the engagement.. "
Balraj cursed under his breath while he stared at a determined Armaan.. Embarrassed to the core they spent 10 minutes apologizing all the guests and sending them away.. As the place grew quiet once again Mihir Raichand Demanded angrily.. "Balraj.. !! What is this nonsense.. "
"Its no Nonsense uncle.. " Armaan spoke quietly.. "There is no engagement taking place today.."
Realizing a argument was on the way Seema came forward.. "Dad please. Lets go from here.. "
"No Seema !! " He bit out angrily.. "This man here needs to do a lot of explanation.. "
Armaan glared at Seema "And you also need to hear few confessions from your daughter who had been lying from start .. "
Mihir passed a look at Seema who stared down guiltily... Balraj came forward.. "Whatever it is Armaan.. This engagement has to take place.. "
"Oh let me guess why " Armaan asked sarcastically... "So that you both can grow up your business.." He shook his head in disgust.. "This is just a another business deal for you right.. "
Balraj glared at him and muttered.. "Stop it Armaan.. Dont you dare.. "
Ignoring him he turned to face Mr Raichand.. " I think my dad has forgot to mention you something.. A very important thing.. "
Veena passed a worried look at her husband who stood near Armaan alarmed.. " Shut up Armaan. Dont dare say a word.. "
Armaan shook his head and turned around ready to confront with him.. But he grew still as he noticed the person who just came inside the house..
"Hello Everyone.. " Shilpa spoke with a smile as she dragged her suitcase inside.. Balraj cursed under his breath while Veena stood bewildered.. Armaan smiled while Raichands stood confused..
Shilpa ignored their reactions.. Knowing this was only her chance she came forward to Balraj.. "Hello Dad and Mom.. "
Both of them glared at her but didint say a word.. Shilpa didint cringe this time.. She knew this time she had to be strong.. The only way to save their marriage..
"Hey Armaan " She came and stood near him as he took her in his arms hugging her tight.. Seema grew stiff as she narrowed her eyes at Shilpa..
"You came.. " Armaan whispered happily..
She turned her lips to his ears and whispered back.. "You were correct.. I had to comeback here before it was too late.. "
Pulling out from the hug they turned back to Raichands..
"This is Shilpa.. " Armaan spoke coolly.. Shilpa smiled at them and looked at a confused Seema..
"You must be Seema.. "
Seema just gave a nod staring at her curiously.. With a another smile Shilpa spoke quickly.. " I must tell you.. This engagement cant take place.. "
Mihir and Simi Raichand started to protest beside them.. But it was Seema who spoke.. "May i ask why.. "
Shilpa's expression grew serious as she spoke firmly.. " Because he is already Married.. "
"What.. !! That cant be... " Seema protested..
"To me.. I am Shilpa Mallik.. ! "
