PART 24
Riya whin innocently, calling him "Arjunnn.." He ran towards her hurriedly and asked "Kya hua?" Riya poutingly gestured at empty side of bed through her eyes which make Arjun smile and happily lay down beside her while cuddling her after shutting the lights off.
NEXT MORNING
Bright lights of sun peeking through the blue curtains fell directly on Riya's face, disturbing her peaceful sleep. Feeling irritated, she opened her eyes to look at the source and found bright daylight falling directly on her face. Riya stretched her arms, yawning lightly and tried to sit up but felt herself being caged by her waist. She looked down and saw two arms are wrapped tightly around her waist. Smiling brightly Riya turned around, still with the arms wrapped and saw a very beautiful sight. Though this has become usual for daily morning but she never get bored of it. Her Arjun is sleeping peacefully without any tense line on his forehead with a cute pout while his arms were wrapped around her, caging her.
Smilingly Riya kissed his forehead and tried to unwrapped his arms so that she can get up and get ready for ETF but His arms tighten his hold more on her, not letting her go. Riya sigh as she understood Arjun is awake now and said softly "Come on, Arjun! I think bohut late hogya hai. We must get ready and leave. Look outside and see we are already very late. Rathod Sir is going to take my class for being late."
Hearing Sameer's name, Arjun groaned and said irritatedly "What's with Rathod? Jab dekho tab Rathod sir ye.. Rathod sir woh.. I am fed up with your Rathod bhajan. Not today. Got it? Now let me sleep, mujhe bohut neend aarhi hai. Aj hum kahin nahi jaa rahe hai, so sleep!"
Saying so, he again closed his eyes while his arms tighten around her waist. Riya said with wide eyes "What? What do you mean by hum kahin nahi jaa rahe hai? Its ETF office, koi mandir nahi hai ke aaj dil nahi kar raha tou nahi jaayenge. Now you leave me and get up."
"ARGHH! Riyu stop it! Today is sunday, so please let me sleep and be quite you are also not going to get up. I am already very tensed because of my mor... uh! Forget it. Now do not wriggle." Arjun said through gritted teeth.
Listening his words, Riya look at him and saw his face showing pain while his body is stiff and tensed. She thought maybe he got hurt yesterday and that must be paining, so thinking to ask the same later. She just hugged him softly and heard him hissed which rise her curiousity to another level. But before she could ask him, Arjun's cellphone rang and he yelled highly irritated "Arrgghhh!"
Reaching for his cellphone, he saw the caller id and found out Commissioner called him to inform him about an important meeting of department which required his and Sameer's presence is held after 2 hours in the police headquarter. After cutting the call, he banged his head on the pillow in frustration while cursing commissioner and department. But work is work, therefore getting ready he left after kissing Riya's forehead.
But as soon as he left, Riya went out locking the door with a sly smile on her lips.
'Arjun, you will be a goner now. Pfft! How many times I told you Aurat ki kabiliyat par kabhi shak nahi karna chahiye. Now fault is all yours.' Thinking this in her mind Riya sat in the hired cab and drove away with a wide smirk on her face.
Ayesha woke up on hearing continuous ringing of her cellphone. Being highly irritated, she pick up the call without looking at the Id and said "What is your problem? Jab koi phone pick nahi kar raha, it means they are busy. Then why are you pesturing me continuous. You better have a good explaination..." But she stopped in mid on hearing the little scared voice of the person from other side.
"Uh! Ayesha, its me... uh! Sorry I was.."
"Huh! Sameer. Oh! Sorry i thought I was just umm.." She replied nervously in a meek voice.
Sameer laughed and said softly "No, you are right. I should have known you must be sleeping on sunday. But ummm.. I want to tell you something and its important."
Getting serious, Ayesha asked "What is it Sameer? Is everything alright?"
Sameer said meekly "Yes everything is okay. Its just that.. ummm... Meri Maa aayi hui hain yahan aur mai soch raha tha. Kya tum mere ghar aasakti ho aaj dinner ke liye? Maasa se bhi mil lena.."
Ayesha replied smiling slightly "Oh! Accha. Par..?"
"Its ok Ayesha. Abhi koi jaldi nahi hai. Tum aaram se decide karlo. I have a meeting, will talk to you later. Ok bye!" Said Sameer hastely before cutting the call.
Laughing lightly, Ayesha get up and went in the washroom with a thought 'I have to go to shop a nice dress as today I have to look good.' The thought brought a pink hue of blush on her cheeks.
Around 11 a.m at Super Mall-
A girl step out of the cab and smiled thinking something. She went inside the mall and start looking for something special, for which she came. While looking at scented candles she bumped into someone and try to continue to walk after muttering a "Sorry." The person held her hand stopping her, she turned around frowning but her eyes get widen in shock, she hugged the person and squealed "Ayesha!!?"
Breaking the hug, Ayesha replied smiling "Yes me, but what are you doing here Riya?"
"Uh! Woh.. I came here for something but don't know how to choose. And you?" Riya replied with a deep blush.
Ayesha confusedly look at Riya's blushing face before telling that she came here to buy a new dress. "But tell me Riya what is it that you are blushing so much.. hmm? Are you planning to step ahead in your relationship?"
At this Riya nodded her head with a deep sigh. Understanding everything Ayesha smiled and said "Thats great. I can help you in choosing your things, but if you want?"
Smiling brightly, Riya said "Yes please Ayesha help me. By the way, new dress some special occation? Ya aisehi?" Ayesha smiled and told her that she is going to meet Sameer's mother tonight and wanted to look good. Riya said "I will help you in this. Lets go."
Riya did help Ayesha and showed her a beautiful, decent navy blue saree with grey-sky blue pantern on it and black blouse with elbow length sleeves. Ayesha helped Riya and tell her which coloured she should buy, what suits her and all.
Their shopping went on for three hours, so they did their light lunch before going beauty parlour together and then went back to their houses after wishing each other a good luck.
Ayesha reached her house around 4 p.m and messaged Sameer that 'She will be waiting for him in evening.' And as promised around 7 in evening Sameer came to pick her up but seeing her all dressed up beautifully in saree, he stood shocked with wide eyes and open mouth for few moment. Ayesha laughed nervously at his condition while a deep blush formed on her cheeks.
After a while, they went to Sameer's place where his mother willingly welcomed Ayesha and get impressed on seeing her in Saree. She knew that Ayesha is not too much into traditional wear but she respect her elders and that is why she is wearing Saree. Even Ayesha told Maasa about herself not being trational. Sameer's mother got happy on seeing Ayesha's honesty, humble and respect and understood that Sameer did choose a perfect girl for him.
On the other side, Riya arrived home around 5:30 p.m. She did arrange dining table for early dinner, knowning Arjun will not have lunch untill and unless she is with him which means he will be hungry. She decorate their room beautifully for later. She put the rest of her shopping inside the cupboard after getting herself ready and waited for Arjun to return. After almost an hour, the door bell rang and Riya rushed to open the door.
After pressing the bell, Arjun sighed 'What a tiring Sunday it was.' But the next second his thought stop in mid while his breath stuck in his throat on seeing Riya dressed in gorgeous Night dress. Riya shyly smiled at him and pulled him inside on seeing him lost. Before Arjun could ask her something, she pushed him inside the washroom of guestroom and asked him to fresh up fast as she is waiting for him at dining table.
Shaking his head, Arjun fresh up and came out thinking she must have wear it casually. As he reached the dining table he saw her sitting on a chair waiting for him, he went near her and kissed her temple lovingly before sitting beside her.
"Hmm? So how was your day?" Riya asked while serving him his favourite dish.
Arjun smiled on seeing it and replied with sigh "Very tiring and boring. Sitting with aged seniors is the worst thing of our job. Aur tumhara?"
Riya smilingly told him about her meeting with Ayesha at shopping mall and about arrival of Sameer's mother, easily hiding the reason why went there and what she bought?
Hearing about Maasa, Arjun get excited and start telling her about their meetings when Sameer took Arjun at his homeland, etc-etc. They laugh and talk like this for hours and made plan of inviting Maasa at their home for dinner or something.
After cleaning kitchen, Riya gave Arjun his cup of tea while sipping her coffee. Arjun many time thought of going in their bedroom and have his tea there while relax himself but Riya did not let him untill they finished their drinks. Shrugging weird feelings, finally Arjun entered their bedroom but gasped loudly on seeing its state.
