Arshi FF: Chaahat. *Chapter-9* (updated)

A girl in mid of twenties roamed around well decorated spacious hall of a big mansion instructing workers around for impending function that evening which seems like a wedding...

While walking past the corridor she was pulled with a great force and slammed against something hard yet warm, when her eyes met the thing that pulled her or rather say the person that pulled her...

Girl: "what r u doing?" (glancing left & right ) " What if someone sees us together like this?"

person: "relax nothing will happen, I'm there na... I'll take care if something goes wrong, don't worry babe. why fear when I'm here ." he said boasting about him self.

Girl: "that's what I'm worried about". she murmured.

person: "u said something?"

Girl: (shaking her head side ways) "No...by the way why did you corner me like this? do u wanna say something?"

person: "Oh ya...please don't get mad okay , well the thing is..due to some emergency I need to leave for Agra right now will be back by wedding time ..." he explained.

By hearing this her face falls.

Girl (in low voice): "but u said you'll my side today right? how will I sustain alone? This is not done yaarrr." she pouted.

Seeing her pouting cutely, he smiled & said..

person: "don't worry Shona I'll never leave you alone, not till eternity atleast, now smile ok...pleaseee." he pleaded.

Girl: (hugging him tightly) "But if something happens this time also? and if they all blame me once again? Then???" she asked him like a lost kid.

person: "Like hell they will, I'll rip them apart if they even lay their eyes on you. No one messes with..." he started aggressively only to be cut by her.

Girl: "ya ya I know I know, now cut it & tell me buy when will u be back...?" she asked changing the topic immediately.

person: "Oh ho, missing me now itself?? so desperate for my return even before I leave??" he waggled his brows teasingly.

Girl: "tell naaa." she whined.

person: "Ok , I'll be back by wedding time, if possible a bit earlier it self. & don't stress your self too much everything will be fine, I'll be back as soon as possible". he assured.

Girl: "ok come back soon". she softly ordered.

person: "ok my shona".

Saying so he kissed her on her forehead and left from main door. She kept staring at his restraining figure till he disappeared & continued with her work.
