With so much love, thank you KaShti (Srishti our very own Sri ) for the layout 😊
--------------------------------------------
Hand in hand, they were walking into the garden, passing through the path covered with two rows of roses and lilies on both sides of the path.
He had held her left hand with a firm grip, talking on random things staring at her with a cute smile on his face, which use to occupy his face when ever he use to be around her.
Who they were??? A couple , defiantly now they were a couple.
But yes it is a fact that both of them were Strange completely strange for eachother few weeks ago .
They even didn'st know any thing about eachother.
But it's only time which can do any thing according to its ways.
And now they were Engaged, in a relationship, that completely arranged by their parents.
She was talking about something trying to explain him , one hand in his hand, other was gesturing to explain her words,
Just then he pulled her more towards him with his hand in her's.
She bumped into him, at a sudden pull she gasped and got surprise, he was infront of her with a dimpled smile on his face and with some naughtiness in his expressions, his gaze was focus on her face, she looked up towards him. One hand in his hand other on his broad and manly tough bare chest, the bareness of his manly chest was prominent from his upper 2 open buttons which were left open as usual. ;)
He was smiling, not understanding whats going on, she smiled back with some confuse expressions.
He widened his smile on seeing her smiling back to him.
This makes her go shy and blush
Still holding her hand he palmed her right side cheeks with his other hand. Bringing his face more close to her's , staring temptatingly onto her trembling lips , makes her shudder with his intense gaze, makes her more blush,
Bringing his face near her ear, speakes in a lower voice and more in a whisper.
" Can I have my first Kiss ? "
He drawback his face infront of her to get the reaction of his demand onto her.
Heaing his words she lowered her gaze more, and get a red blush on her cheeks, like a tomato.
Seems like She surrendered herself infront of him, but she was still with her confuse expressions on her cute angelic face.
On this response from her he smiled lightly but whole heartedly, seeing his fianc not arguing with him, infact in return showing trust on him and said nothing but blushed.
Widened his smile on her shyness.
He Said : heyy, its okay , take your time, I know its too early to ask this, I promise I'll not do any thing without your permission, if you are not comfortable with that.
On hearing his words , she released a l'il deep air which was stuck into her throat after hearing his words,
Then she feels a light kiss on her forehead, and this was completely ok with her, after all he was his fianc and she'll not mind if he kissed even on her cheeks,
But the Kiss, the real one, her First Kiss to be shared with Him was a taught thing to do, as she was too shy in these matters,
Also she needs some time for that, as she was just engaged to him 2 weeks ago.
Flash Back
On constant demand from his parents , Her Mom and Dad Make it a Yes after the formalities and all the investigation have been done about Maliks.
But still It took Malhotra's about six months to say yes for the proposal by Maliks.
Billy Malik & Ananya Malik just returned from the States with their Only Son ARMAAN MALIK,

As being an obedient child Armaan has handed them this issue with full authorities,
He was a successful business man having his own company other then his dad. Also he join his dad into his business.
He lived his childhood, teenage + a bit part of his youth in States but still he was a complete Indian Desi boy, with all of traditions fully grown inside him,
In short he was a perfect guy that any girl can dream about him.
But yes he had a bad quality too, that he was a less talkative and a non-social person he concern only with his work and family, he had only two friends Atul and Rahul which were with him in states from his childhood.
Billy Malik setup his business in India and after so many meetings with Shashank Malhotra he decided to join hands with him, as he found Mr.Malhotra a very dedicated, serious and well knowledge person in Market.
Soon they become business partners as Mr.Malhotra himself found Mr. Malik a sincere person, with lots of fame but still humble man in nature. He had also meet with his son Armaan Malik once or twice in past few months and Mr.Malhotra admires both Senior + junior Malik, both were so sophisticated person that Shashank got happy to work with these devoted men.

This was her life around her friends and family.
She has handed her marriage issue to her mom and dad as she knows, how much she tried to be bold or active but in these matters she is the same Mashraki seedhi saadhi girl, that's why she didn't bother her self to think about any guy, cz she personally believes on
Love After an official Relation
It was Mr. Malik who decided to bring shilpa as his Daughter in law,
Once he was in Malhotra's office, discussing something with Mr.Malhotra in his cabin, although it was not a proper meeting, that's why the door opened softly and a soft cute voice came inside the cabin,
Shilpa:
May I come in dad? I hope I didn't disturb you.
Shashank M :

Come sit here, meet him he is Billy Malik our new partner. ( pointing towards BM )

Billy Malik:

BM:

Shilpa :

Okay so better be a good dad and listen to my plead.
I have already gave lecture to mom for her medicines J
Now I have to go, its getting late, we'll be leaving in an hour.
Shilpa walks towards her dad and hugged him,
Bid a bye to both of them and leaves the cabin.
There BM had decide to bring her only as his daughter in law,
She was perfect with his less talkative son, she can make him social too,
Cz she was innocent , angelic, talkative + shy, although he didn't know about her shyness so briefly but he just made an assumption that she is Shy, as she was talking to him confidently no doubts but yet she didn't even look up into his eyes during their convo.
He was impressed with her innocence and talkative combination, he was impressed by her way of caring for her family, he was impressed by her social activities.
After Shilpa left,
Shashank gaves billy an intro about his family and beloved daughter.
And yes billy made it final on the spot, he knows well that Armaan will have
no objection on it, cz BM and AM were the boss of the house and already Armaan has handed this matter into their hands.
Billy discuss that meeting of his with shilpa, with her beloved wife Ananya, she had no issue cz she was sure and satisfied on his Hubby's decision.
So the very next day they left for Malhotra's to let them know about their about their wish for their Son Armaan Malik
Malhotra's were happy too cz shashank like Maliks a lot, but being a good father he firstly satisfied himself with all prospects, and finally discuss that with shilpa,
He asked for her approval and she said yes if you have think something for me then I'm sure that will be best for me,, I believe on you dad.
With her approval they said yes to Maliks
And now
Maliks & Malhotra's were now in a relationship bond.
It takes almost 7 months to talk about their engagement, finally they were engaged.
Both Armaan Shilpa met to eachother's before a week from their engagement,
And now its been 2 weeks they were Officially engaged.
Armaan Shilpa starts to knowing eachother, they use to call eachother after one day or two, some times they use to date eachother, purely an official date, and now after two weeks they were quite much in love to hold each others hand without any hesitation.
Back to present
After coming out of her thoughts, she feels blissful on having his warm lips onto her forehead, and in this trance without thinking anything else, she hugged him tightly griping tightly on his shirt's sides, she hiding her head into his front of bare chest,
Closing eyes more tightly she said
Shilpa: I Love You Armaan.
On hearing her words he hugged her back with equal love and intensity saying.
Armaan: I Love you too Shona,
This is for the first time he Called her Shona.
And then hearing his words his confession she made a mistake, ( which she thought that it was a mistake )
Unknowingly she kissed him lightly on his bare chest just above his heart's place,
That one move was enough to make him crazy,
On her action he gave a intense reaction.
Bringing her more close to him, he lowered his head to her shoulder level, he inhaled her mesmerizing sweet scent, and exhaled a hot long breath out form his mouth, which touches her neck and creates havoc on her already trembling body.
He lift her hair from her shoulder by his left hand, right hand still griping her hand.
He just kissed so lightly in between her neckline and shoulder, and at the same spot he start nibbling her skin from there, he was completely lost into her's same as she was lost into his touch, which was creating shivers down along her spine .
All she managed to say was,
Shilpa : Arr. Armaaan. (into a lower voice more a whisper)
Both were lost into eachothers' both were lost into their moment. With their eyes closed.
Suddenly then a bell rings, it was Armaan's cells. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
***********
Suddenly then a bell rings, it was Armaan's cell phone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
He was so into the moment that he didn't pay attention on its ringing.
He was too lost to be back into the world, without giving him a li'l shove it was impossible to made him return from his trance.
On hearing a bell ring, she opened her eyes and break the moment on realizing what was going on, she pushed him a li'l away to decrease the intimacy of their clossness ;
He was back on earth, opened his eyes realizing what he had just done, he was dumbfounded, unable to speak any word he, he tried to speak and explain himself on her,
All he said was,
Armaan: Sh'Shona Wo'. ( letting his sentence half spoken )
He was confused + ashamed on his boldness.
She step back a li'l and turned around on her back in front of him.
He was so guilty on his act, on his fast and brave act, all of a sudden he feels more guilty on himself inside deep down in his heart, because he was unable to standout for his words to her,
Just few minutes back he said to her,
He'll not do anything unless she is not comfortable,
But now there he was with his first mistake, he broke his promise, he somehow broke her trust on her too, may be that's why she was not facing him,
These thoughts were racing into his mind,
The bell was still going on. He take out his phone from pocket and attended the call,
Armaan: Hello ! yeah, okay, I'll be there. Bye
On the other side she was feeling guilty too, on remembering her mistakes,
What she did, firstly she hugged him, well that was okay, after all he is her fianc and they can hug atleast eachother without any hesitation, ( That's what she thought being a bold and brave girl )
But the thing which made her to turn on other side not letting her face him was her Kiss on his bare skin just above his heart.
Realizing that she had done a brave act, being a girl, being a Mashraki Seedhi Saadhi larki, she had done a brave act.
She was guilt on her Actions.
Where as on other side Armaan was more guilty on his reaction. He was so quick in his actions that he made her so intimate with him, with his super fast actions.
He knows well that she needs a lot of time for all this, even he had just promise her, and now he had done what he thinks he shouldn't have done,
Now what she'll think , on being so intimate with her, about him, what she'll presume about him.
The situation was awkward now, both were feeling a strange awkwardness, after a long pause Armaan Breaks the Ice of Awkwardness.
Armaan: Sho'aanh Shilpa ! we should go back now, its'its getting dark,
Come'i'.i'll drop you.
On hearing him, she turned around to face him, but not tried to make eye contact with him,
She just nodded in positive,
Seeing her agreeing on his statement, he smiled fadedly and walks towards the parking area. She followed him behind him.
He opened front passenger seat door, she get into the car, still avoided the eye contact.
He saw her face now more clearly, she was having still a blushed high on her cheeks, blushing hard on THEIR moment.
There were butterflies in his stomach on seeing his effect on his SHONA so deeply,
He just smile on her innocence, getting on towards his seat, they drove towards the home, Shilpa's Home.
On the way it was all silence in the car, the only voice was of Songs being played on radio.
And making situation more Awkward between these two New Love Birds,
The song being play on the radio was,
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah Se Teri Nazrein Mujhe
Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan
(There on this phrase their eyes met after a long time just for a second or two, Shilpa lowered her gaze so quickly, and her already blushing red cheeks goes more red harder,
Armaan feels his heart beat skipped,)
Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Armaan turn off the radio to make the atmosphere normal inside the car, the AC was on but both were sweating cz of the effect of eachother's presence.
There were a silence now,
Only humming of engine can be feel, the awkwardness was killing them, and was making the atmosphere so heavy for breathing in it.
They reached shilpa's home,
Armaan stops the car, silence was remain there, After bidding a small bye to him, she was about to leave the car, when she feels a 1ooo volts current running through her body,
Certainly she was pulled back by Armaan, so softly with her hand in his grip.
Armaan held her right hand with a soft and caring grip, she backed on the seat looking towards him, who was already staring her, she get confuse unable to understand what was next now,
Armaan : Shona ! I'm sorry , , I'm sorry on being insane , , , I'm sorry I failed in keeping my words, , ,
The fact is that, I'm unable now to resist you more, , , Its not like I need you for my pleasure, No Never , its like I want you to be with me like this forever, to stay with me forever, cz you Completes Me,
Yes I do feel complete whenever I'm around you, whenever I'm with you , its just I love to feel you. I love to feel Us.
He holds his ears with his hands and looking into her eyes like a cute li'l innocent child he again plead for accepting his sorry.
On hearing his apology, or seeing him holding ears with a child like cuteness,
She Melted, , ,
How much she wished to Kiss Him , yes she just think about to kiss him, Oh God , whats happening to her ? She can't be so bold being a girl she knows how to behave and before her marriage she even can't think of doing any thing like that, but she just think about that, it was all because of him,
Yes it was all because of the effect of ARMAAN MALIK on her, she feels so complete after his entry into her life. And yes she can't confess this now infront of him, as she already had confess her love for him and the result was infront of her the strange awkwardness b/w them after what had happen b/w them an hour ago.
She whipped off her thoughts and bring her hands on to his hands, he was still in the same position with holding ears, cuteness on face, waiting for her to say something to him in return.
She griped his hands into her's which gave a pleasant current to both of them but they just ignore it as it was now not new, but yet loveable for them.
She start's speaking,
Shilpa : Armaan ! don't be sorry, I was completely involve too,
(on saying this she lowered her gaze and blush again as usual, he smiled on her cute act, she starts again)
So stop being guilt, don't blame your self only, (Armaan cuts her in b/w)
Armaan : but Shona that was my mistake only, I should not be so intimate with you unless you are comfortable with me. I promise, it'it won't happen again.
Shilpa : Armaan Please stop it, I said na I was too into the moment.
Armaan takes a breath of relief that she was not at all angry on him, and suddenly a shine of naughtiness occupies his eyes, and he start teasing her making her feel more embarrassed, he starts,
Armaan : Shona ! that means you were willing for that, ( he winks )
On hearing his words blush again occupies her cheeks, she smiled and thinks its high time to break this awkwardness now, she compose herself and said.
Shilpa : Armaan I thought that you were a shy guy, but I can see you are so shameless, now stop making me embarrass on my confession.
Hearing her words Armaan grinned and said
Armaan : Shona, guys are always shameless ( showing her all teeths, not having any response from her he again )
Okay I'm sorry for my faltu joke, J
Shilpa: you better be, (in firm but a loving voice )
Armaan : wow seems like my Shona is in action haan, haven't seen her this side before ''interesting.
But still looking gorgeous as usual , ( saying so he smiled widely making her smile too, he start again )
Aww see now looking more gorgeous that's why I just can't resist, Oh God please save me , haaah ( taking out a deep breath )
On seeing his overacting she giggled, for the first time she laughed so heartedly infront of him.
It was feeling like the Ice b/w them was melting, slowly slowly, they were understanding each other more closely now.
While laughing she rolled her eyes saying him,
Shilpa : Shut up Armaan, stop acting now :P
Saying so she gets close to him and give a peck on his cheeks,
Intentionally or un-intentionally what ever it was,
But this time both feels it normal, the awkwardness was finish b/w two of them now.
He ginned on her act and she smiled hard on sudden change in her.
Saying him Bye and Good Night, she left the car.
Armaan was still under the effect of her soft petal lips on his cheeks, he came out of his la la land, quickly throwing his self out from the car, saw her taking steps towards her home's door,
He called her name form back
Armaan : Shonaaa !
She turned around on hearing his voice
He was coming closer to her, he came towards her just leaving a distance of a foot.
Armaan: Shona ! umm'aaan' wo' can I have my good night hug ??? (the last line he said in one breath)
Saying so he didn't wait of her reply and just took her into his strong arms, a fully huge hug.
She felt so protective in his arms so much heavenly, she can hear his heart beat which was so loud and erratic, same as her own.
Both parted away the from the hug after completing one minute of their moment.
Smiling to each other saying Good Night, both were left for their directions
Armaan back towards his Car , Shilpa back to her house.
She entered the house with a smile of satisfaction on her face, unknowing of the fact some one was noticing her, she was in her own dreamy world, proceeding towards her room. She left for her room upstairs.
Padma was watching her daughter form the lounge and was noticing her smile , full of satisfaction and assurance of the love in her life, assurance of her self completion.
Padma was more happy now, on seeing her daughter happy, she was happy to know that they made a right choice for their daughter.
