Knot by Destiny

His Anger and Her Cuteness

Two days later

She reached her house and saw her parents and brother were all ready to go to Malhotra Mansion to attend Navya’s baby shower ceremony.

“Sorry, mamma. Sorry, papa. Why don’t you guys go with driver uncle? I will come by myself.” Aaru said kissing their cheeks.

“Ok, but take care,” Malini said and she nodded her head.

The trio left from there and Aaru went to the kitchen. She drank water and took out an apple from the fridge and walked out of the kitchen. She was about to go to her room but heard the doorbell rang and went to open the door. She opens the door and found Kabir.

“Hii…” He walked inside greeting her with a small smile and she closed the door.

“What are you doing here?” She asked and went into the kitchen but he stopped her holding her hand.

“I’m here to take you. Now, go and get ready.” He said taking a half-eaten apple from her hand which she nodded her head.

He sat on the couch and started eating an apple while she blushed looking at him as he ate her half-eater apple and ran to her room. After half hour she got ready and standing in front of the mirror. She was shy and nervous about how to call him to help her to tie the thread of the blouse.

“Why she is late?” He mumbled looking up to her room.

He stood up and went to her room. He stood outside and knocked on the door.

“L’amour, are you ready?” He asked knocking on the door.

She opens the door and he looked at her amusingly. He looked at her top to down who was looking breathtaking in Mauve grey color silk Lehenga. He lifts his hand and touched her cheek thus she closed her eyes.

“So beautiful. You are looking breathtaking, baby.” He said rubbing his thumb on her cheek making her blush more.

She walked to the mirror and aside from her hair looking down to the floor. He understood the meaning of her and walked to her while she closed her eyes feeling him coming close to her. He slowly ties the threads while his finger touched her bareback sending a shiver in her body and she clutched Lehenga tightly in her fists. He slides his one hand around her waist and plastered her frame to his thus her back touched his chest.

“Love…” He whispered in her ear and kissed her neck.

She turns toward him and hugged him to hide her blush. He hugs her with intensity clutching her frame a little and her breath hitched for a moment. He pulled away from the hug and cupped her face while her eyes were still closed.

“Open your eyes.” He said rubbing his nose with hers.

She nodded her head negatively clutching the material of his coat.

“L’amour, open your eyes, or else we will stay like this here for hours and there the baby shower will be ended without us.” He said brushing his lips on her right cheek.

She slowly opens her eyes and looked into his eyes. He smiled a little before capturing her lips thus she again closed her eyes. He slowly savored her lips while she wasn’t responding but her cheeks were heating the way he was playing with her lips. He kissed her with all emotion and broke it later. He rested his head on her and opens his eyes only to see her red cheeks.

“God!!! You look so beautiful with red cheeks.” He said caging her waist and brushed his lips on her lips.

She just put her head on his chest blushing profusely and he chuckled at her cuteness.

“What I am going to do with you, L’amour?” He said kissing her hair and chuckled.

They broke the hug after few minutes and he kissed her forehead lovingly. He entwisted their fingers and kissed them and went out of the room to go to the Malhotra mansion.

************************************

They reached Malhotra mansion and he comes out of the car and asked her to stay inside because of the media while the guards cover him. He opens the door and forwards his hand thus she held his hand and comes out of the car. She gets nervous seeing media people but wrapped his arms around her waist and caressed it assuring her.

"Sir... sir... one question..." A media person said forwarding mike.

"No questions. Joseph, take care of them." Kabir said to his guard while covering Aaru who was scared of media.

They finally walked inside the mansion and she took a deep breath.

"You okay?" He asked rubbing her waist.

"Yes. I was scared of the media. I never faced them." She said looking at him.

"Relax. You will get habitual with it." He said kissing her forehead.

They stepped into the hall where their family members were waiting for them. There were many people present and he left her thus she went to Navya. Kabir went to the garden area where all men were partying together.

"Hi, sister-in-law... how are you?" Aaru asked caressing her grown belly.

"I am good. How are you and what did take your time?" Navya asked in a teasing voice and Aaru blushed looking away from her.

"Deepali, your second daughter-in-law is also beautiful." One mid-age lady said.

"Yes, Sheetal. I am really glad to have her." Deepali said caressing Aaru's hair.

After the ceremony, all the guests left there and only family members present there. Kabir comes to call Aaru for the press conference. He saw her going to the kitchen and followed her. He found it empty and hugged her from hitching her breath but recognized his touch.

"Kabir, leave me. Someone will see us." She said struggling under his grip but he tightens his grip around her waist and nuzzled his nose in her neck inhaling her fragrance.

"Already behaving like wife." He whispered in her ear and bite slightly making her closed her eyes.

He turned her and caged her by the waist. Her cheeks were red compatible with tomato and her eyes were tightly closed.

"Please..." She said keeping her hands on his chest and tried to push him.

"Okay. We will continue after the press conference." He said making her eyes widen.

"Press conference..." She mutters getting nervous and he sensed it.

"Shhh... don't worry. You don't have to speak anything. I will speak on behalf of you." He said leaving her waist and cupped her face.

"Please be with me." She said looking into his eyes and he touched his forehead with hers.

"I am always with you." He said rubbing their noses and she closed her eyes.

"Ahem... ahem..." Parth said clearing his throat.

Aaru pushed him and ran from there blushing profusely while Kabir was looking here n there. Parth stood beside him placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Some is very desperate before marriage," Parth said in a teasing voice and his cheeks heat up with blush.

The Kabir Malhotra is blushing..!! That's something new.

"I have to attend the press conference," Kabir said jerking his hand and left from there.

Parth burst out in laughter seeing his baby brother blushing and shakes his head. He went to the fridge and took out chocolate for his wife and left the kitchen.

************************

Press Conference

"Before you guys start I want to clear you one thing that don't ask anything to Aarohi. Ask me anything I will answer you on behalf of her." Kabir declares clutching Aaru's hand under the table and assured her as he knew she was nervous and scared.

"Sir, how are you feeling marrying a middle-class girl?" A lady journalist asked.

Aaru's face turns pale and looked down in embarrassment.

"Are you seriously a journalist?" Kabir asked straightly but in a calm voice.

"Yes sir. I have got a card too." She replied showing her id card.

"I don't think so you're a journalist. You are looking like those society people who run behind class and status. You asked me how I am feeling about marrying a middle-class girl but the truth is I am not marrying any middle-class girl. I am marrying that girl who is chosen by my parents. My Aarohi is pure as holy water. Status doesn't describe their characters. If a girl like you alive who still thinks of high class and middle class are not real girls. You are seeing me as a billionaire and Aarohi as a middle-class girl. But I want to ask you something why don't you see us as a normal boy and girl? Next question." Kabir asked with rage in his eyes and squeezed Aaru's hand who was looking at him without a blink.

"Sorry, sir." She said looking down to the earth.

Kabir just waved his hand at her in dismissal and other journalists start asking him questions which he was answering smoothly. Aaru was overwhelmed by his respective gesture toward her and starts falling for him. After the press conference, they stood up to leave by stopped by a photographer.

"Sir, Ma’am one photo please." The Photographer said.

Kabir nodded his head and pulled Aaru closer holding her waist thus she looked down blushing profusely. He smiled at her shyness and the photographer clicked the picture.

*************************************

The Next day

Nisha, Aarohi, Anaya, Shiv, Tanya, and Abhi were standing in the principal's cabin while Deven was sitting with the principal and showing him proof. Kabir wanted to present there but he got an urgent call from the office so he left as Parth was on maternity leave.

"Nisha, I am rusticating you from college." The principal said giving her a letter.

"What sir? But why? What I did?" She asked shockingly.

"You are a drug dealer. You are the one who used to sell drugs to students. You are the one who brings drugs in college. You also put false allegiance against innocent Aarohi." The principal said angrily.

"Sir... it's all lie. I didn't do anything." She said with faked tears.

"We have proof of you. So don't lie now. I don't want any criminal in this college. The crime which you did is not small. You deserve to stay behind bars but because of college reputation, I am rusticating you. Now get out." The principal said pointing at the exit door.

Nisha glared at Aaru and left from there angrily.

"Aarohi, I am sorry for doubting students like you. You can stay in the hostel and your scholarship will also continue from now." The principal said softly.

"It's okay and thanks, sir. Sorry, but I don't want to stay in the hostel now. I am getting married soon and I want to spend more time with my family." Aaru said with a smile.

"That's really good and congratulations Aarohi." The Principal said.

"Thank you, sir," Aaru said nodding her head.

"Anaya and Tanya you guys did a good job. I am proud of you all." The Principal said.

"Thank you, sir. Whatever we did for our friend Aarohi. We know she is innocent." Tanya said holding Aaru’s hand.

After some time they all left the cabin and went to the canteen.

"Finally it's over," Shiv said slumping on the chair.

"It's not over Shiv. Remember we have an exam after the two weeks." Aaru said hitting on his shoulder.

"Aahhhh... two weeks are too much." He said making face and Aaru shakes her head.

Meanwhile, Kabir comes there and sat beside Aarohi. She flushed as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer.

"So all good?" He asked looking at her.

"Yes, brother-in-law. Nisha got rusticated from the college." Anaya said happily.

"That's really good. She deserves it." Kabir exclaimed with happiness.

"And Aaru got her scholarship back." Tanya almost screamed.

"Wohha... easy girl," Deven said closing his ears which she showed her tongue to him.

They talked some more time than Kabir and Aarohi left from there and went to the car.

"Are you happy?" He asked holding her hands.

"Thank you for helping me." She said looking into his eyes.

"Anything for your smile." He said pecking her forehead and she hugged him.

He hugs her back with a smile and tightens his grip around her.

"I am going to New York for a week." He said breaking the hug and she looked at him with wide eyes.

"Uhh.. okay." She said looking away from him.

"So you are happy that I am going?" He asked holding her forearm and pulled her closer.

She didn't say anything and he gets hurt by her cold gesture. It's not like he doesn't like her shy nature but sometimes he expects answers from her. He wants to make her comfortable in his presence and by his touch. He knew she never dated any guy in her life but now when they are getting married then she should try to intimate with him.

"Let's go." He said sternly and sat inside the car without opening the door for her.

She was starlet by his action but realized that she didn't respond to him. She sat inside the car and he started driving without holding her hand. Every time he drives; he always holds her hand. After half hour, they reached her home while the journey was silent.

"Bye...." He said without looking at her.

She stayed on her seat for some time playing with her fingers and then took deep breaths. A few seconds later, his eyes went wide along with his mouth feeling soft rose petal on his left cheek and the grip from the steering wheel got loses.

"I will miss you. Come soon." Saying this she ran out of the car leaving him in shock.

Kabir comes back to sense and touched his left cheek.

"Shitt... did she... di.. did she just kissed me?" He speaks looking at himself in the mirror and only sees light pink lips mark of her.

His lips curved into the big smile and closed his eyes feeling her lips on his cheek. They were very soft like rose petals. He imagined her red face due to her cute action.

On the other hand, Aaru was sitting on the bed covering her face between palms. She never expected herself to do kind of things. She just wants to disappear somewhere on the earth imagine his teasing look that makes her blush more. Her mobile rings with his name. With a shivering hand, she picks up the call and puts the mobile near her ear.

"Next time I want your lips on my lips." He said in a teasing voice making her blush harder.

She instantly cut the call and hides under the quilt. Kabir burst out in laughter imagine her blushing crazing after his naughty statement.
