Adhira looked around the shopping mall like a curious kid. She had never been to a shopping mall before. Looking at the things displayed in the shops, she assumed she could never afford them.
Adhira was walking beside Reyansh, who was busy replying to some emails on his phone. A trail of eight bodyguards walked behind them, finely arrayed in black suits.
Dumbfounded by the top brands surrounding her, Adhira fell behind Reyansh, while he stepped further. With her big emerald eyes, she nervously looked around, thinking she could never afford clothes at such extravagant prices. For that, she didn't need to check the price tag. With only a look, she could conclude that this wasn't something she could buy.
"Ma'am." A bodyguard cautioned her to walk further. Adhira glanced at the source of the voice standing behind her, with a stern face void of any emotions.
Nodding her head, more to herself because the bodyguard didn't even glance at her, she walked further. "Aah!" Adhira cried and rubbed her nose. She hit her nose hard on something as hard as a wall. Tears blurred her vision but she tried to blink them back.
"Can't you even walk properly?" Reyansh seethed, looking down at Adhira with her eyes glistening with unshed tears and her small hand covering her nose.
Adhira looked up, still rubbing her nose, "I am s..sorry" she said, taking a step back from him.
Reyansh sighed looking at her eyes, ready to shed tears anytime.
"Look in front while you walk. Where were you looking? " Reyansh removed her hands from her nose. Her nose was red from the effect of the bump.
Reyansh put two fingers under her chin and tilted her face up. His eyes softened as he looked at her glossy eyes and red nose. Though she looked cute, he didn't forget the fact that it must be painful for her.
"Is it hurting?" Adhira flinched when she saw him raising his hand, but he just rubbed her small nose gently with his large fingers. Adhira tried to form some words for a reply but ended up shaking her head negatively.
Reyansh kept rubbing her nose when he saw the redness lightening, only then did he stop.
Adhira kept looking at him. Cupping her cheeks with his palms, Reyansh extended his thumbs across her glossy eyes. Adhira closed her eyes and felt his thumb pad gliding over her eyelids. His thumb pads were wet with her tears.
Her damp eyelashes fluttered open, exposing her shiny emerald orbs. "Come." Reyansh held her right hand with his left hand and walked further.
Adhira had no consciousness of where he was dragging her, nor was she looking ahead. Her eyes stared down at their entwined hands.
She felt safe and warm.
The bodyguards opened the glass door and Reyansh entered inside with Adhira by his side.
A middle-aged man who was the manager of the store smiled professionally and bowed down, greeting him and Adhira. Though he was smiling, he seemed nervous and scared to Adhira.
"Show us some clothes for her," Reyansh said, not even sparing him a glance. His eyes racked through the clothes.
"Rhea!" the manager called a beautiful brunette girl. "Assist them and don't make a mistake". The manager whispered the last part but Adhira managed to hear.
That girl named Rhea looked at Adhira with contempt and jealousy. She batted her eyelashes at him while he didn't even bother to take notice of her.
Looking at her, Adhira thought her to be too beautiful with her curled hair ending on her shoulders. She was what every man dreams of. Beautiful, bold and modern. She looked at her tight-fitted pencil skirt and white shirt, which enhanced her assets and looked down at her clothes.
I am plain and ugly!
"Take anything that you like" Reyansh commanded Adhira sitting down on the couch in the store. Adhira nodded and looked through some clothes.
She liked almost all the clothes but some specific clothes looked prettier to her. But whenever she turned the price tag, her eyes bulged out looking at the prices.
Reyansh looked at her irritated when she didn't select any clothes after spending as good as one hour roaming and checking price tags of almost every piece of clothing.
Getting impatient, Reyansh stood up and went toward her, who was busy admiring a beautiful red silk saree but had no intention of buying it. Reyansh took that saree and threw it at that sales girl named Rhea, " Pack it." Adhira tried to tell him that she didn't like it at all but his one fierce glare told her to keep her mouth shut.
After nearly emptying the whole store, Reyansh walked out of the store with Adhira following him closely.
Reyansh bought her several things, including clothes, shoes and sandals ,and bags. He also bought her makeup and beauty products.
After spending the whole day buying almost everything for Adhira, they made their way back to their car with bodyguards on their backs. All the shopping bags were held very securely by the bodyguards. Adhira didn't like letting them carry so many bags so she tried to help them out but Reyansh tightened his hold around her wrist and looked at her with his dark angry eyes. Feeling defeated and scared, she let them carry on, but still she would look at them from time to time.
Reyansh clutched her hand tightly, drawing a whimper from her pink lips.
Getting inside the car, they began their journey back to the mansion, with bodyguards following closely behind them in another car.
