Married to Him ✔

Chapter - 23

Arshita

"Are you staring me the whole time? " I asked him nervously as his eyes were boring into me from last hour.

Listening to me he giggled and said," I was just watching out of the window."

Like what?

We were sitting in the first class of the flight and my position was on window side seat like him. Now he just stared me and when asked said he was watching out of the window. Us wasn't going like this till we landed in New York.

It was not only awkward but making me nervous. What if I wasn't looking nice?

Ridiculous!

I don't bite him now when he says what he feel instead I kind of welcome it.

I rolled my eyes and said, " What are you watching? The sky?"

He laughed and said," Alright. I was watching you. It would be creepy if I accepted, right? "

" Really you say that? " I asked him sceptically.

" Yeah before you say anything like that. " He laughed.

" Great!" I said looking ahead of me while he laughed a bit and then looked away.

I took the magazine and surfed it through and when I was done with it, he took it and began reading it.

" You will scan each page? " I asked him as he was taking a lot if time to turn each pages.

" I think so. I am bored! I don't have people to talk to. " He teased closing it.

I stared him for a while as a smile crept in my face and I looked away.

" Would you like to talk to me then Arshita? " He asked after a whole.

" I will Armaan. " I said.

" Tell me something about your family. You know quite about mine. " He said and i doubted if he didn't know a single thing.

" You must have an upper idea about them right? " I asked quite teasingly.

" No I don't have the slightest idea because I was only concerned about you. " He said putting his hand on the lap.

" Okay. " I said sitting straight as him and pressing my lips tighter than his.

"Okay you just copied me and now you can tell me about your family." He said plainly making it more funny.

I laughed covering my mouth. Who knew if it was disgusting to watch someone's open mouth?

"Okay, here I go! My family lives in Delhi and i have one mummy, one papa, one elder brother, Raunak and dadi, one chachu and one chachi and their daughter who is my younger cousin, Arushi for the basics."

I stopped as he frowned.

"What?" I asked.

"Would you introduce your family like this? Tell me what your parents do? What your brother do? " He said.

" Mt parents. Papa is cardiologist, Mr. Anant Agrawal and mummy is a social activist-" I was telling him when he stopped me.

"You father is Anant Agrawal? " He asked looking quite surprised.

" Yeah why? " I asked him suspiciously.

" I have quite a history." He laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, and what is that? " I asked him.

He pressed his lips and looked away before saying," He was treating my father before I took him to America for... further treatment... With a drama leaving behind. " He bit his lip and wiggled his eyebrows.

" Okay. That's great! What drama and, wait you took your dad to America when my father is the best doctor in India?" Here I hit the point.

And he was telling me this?

Should not he have just skipped few parts?

" I agree but I needed my father to be in very safe hands and obviously didn't know about your father's talent. " He said defensively.

" You are so very... Hmmm.. Arrogant." I said raising my single eyebrow.

" What your brother and other family members do? " He asked little later.

I glanced him from side and again looked away.

" Offended! " He sang.

" Of course you would be. " I said aloud.

" Okay. Sorry about it. Next time I am gonna go to your father for my treatment if that lightens your mood."

He said coolly.

Are you acting this way?

"No my dad would have enough patients. You go to America when you sneeze. " I scoffed.

" My Father had an open heart surgery so I went to America. " He explained softly.

But

Its totally his choice.

Why am I being so mad about it?

He is right.

No

My Father us best cardiologist in India.

" What your brother does? " He asked hesitantly.

" He is a Doctor, and my chachu and chachi are doctors too. " I said pouting.

" And Arushi is doctor too. " He sang taking few mints from the bowl that hostess brought.

" Not yet. She is studying. " I said as I took the mint from his hand and slipped it in my mouth.

" Doctors virus! " He said as he moved his hands.

Virus?

" What do you mean? " I asked him.

" Nothing. I was just kidding. " He says laughing.

" I didn't get your joke by the way. " I said wiggling my eyebrows for answers.

" I was saying that one doctor marries a doctor, have kids and make them doctor and then get them married to doctor and then dies and the cycle goes on and on and on. " He cycled with his hands and I gave him cold glare but trust me, it was funny.

That's true.

" Offended again! " He said and put his hands before me in defence.

I turned towards the window, laying on my side bed and giggling at his statement.

" Good night! " He sang.

The lights were switched off and I heard him hustle.

"Remember? I an offended! " I said.

"Get that. " He replied.

••

" Well, how come you are not doctor?" He asked as we were heading to our hotel in his luxurious Limo. I had to tell the manager here about our arrival and departure but the limo arrival was what I didn't know.

Does it count to PA work?

" Still offended? " He asked.

" A bit." I chirped.

" Not a deal. After all you easily get offended. " He chirped back instead of being polite 'sorry' sayer.

" HOW SO? " I asked bobbing my eyes.

" Like now and the last time when I said about your shoes or about you being beautiful, or-"

Gotcha!

"I was just being normal. Don't you think that's what woman's do? " I said shrugging.

" Yeah. They do. " He laughed.

Silence.

Log silence.

" And I chose not to be a Doctor just like my mom. " I said.

He looked with his sparkling eyes and said," because? "

That's the question.

" Because I squirm at the sight of blood oozing out of your veins and if I were asked to treat it, I would need the treatment myself as I would be lying face off on ground. " I said squirming, remembering the last time I encountered that red thing.

" Being surrounded by the doctors? " He shook his head.

" Yes because dad would squirm when I got hurt and watching him I would squirm, ending up to become 24 years old squirming woman. " I said and he laughed a bit.

" Squeamish to Blood! " He exclaimed.

" Squeamish to Blood."

"And you know what?" I said mysteriously.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing. I was just kidding. " I replied.

Frowning at me that I was copying his humour, he said the way I sounded," I didn't get your joke by the way. "

I smiled.

" Business virus. "

He laughed loudly this time and between mumbled," Pointing my own arrows at me!"

Yes I am.

••

Bathing under the three head shower, yeah three head and I question which hotel has it? I hummed the music that played in the TV in the big bedroom.

"Humma Humma

Humma Humma

Ek ho gaye hum aur tum

To neendien udh gi re

Humma Humma Humma

Todo Todo tu.. Tutu toouu..

Todo Todo tu.. Tutu toouu.."

I sang as I wrapped my towel and opened it and then danced and then wrapped again.

Oh I am really beautiful

Sexy

I strutted back to my hotel room and opened my bag trying to pick any comfortable dress which looked good on me too. Of course when I bought them they probably looked nice on me but now they all looked monotonous and dull.

What I had was all them.

I randomly chose the dress pouting and then did the little make up after making my hairs.

When I was so ready to start the day, I put on my high heels and taking my bag I took off from my room. Heading to the hall I took the elevator down the hall to find him with two people to whom he was addressing things.

As he heard my not so expensive shoes, he looked at them laughed a bit and showed his 440 volt smile.

"Is it the same shoes? " He asked.

" Yes it is. The best one. " I said taking my notepad and pen out.

" I called for the car for exact 10:45 so it must be out. " I said as I motioned him out.

" Good, by the way you are looking pretty. " He said walking.

" Thank you, sir! " I said.

" Armaan! " He whispered.

" Thank you Armaan. " I said.

I know I am giving him chance and there is nothing in that.

I slapped my head smiling and glancing at him time to time as he was busy in his laptop.

Had I missed any of my errand I should?

" Do you think you need something? " I asked him.

He frowned and said," You know what I need. "

" I mean I am your PA so am I skipping something I should do? " I explained.

" No, and you are doing perfectly well." He winked.

Perfect

After reaching in his big Oberoi's building, we took the elevator to his office.

Navya was already there and I didn't know about that. But after him hugging her and teasing a bit, she strutted to me.

"Hey Arshita! "

" Hi Navya. I didn't know you did business as well. You are a designer. " I said.

" Business virus! " He answered for her.

" Hey Armaan! Is their something with your nose, I see that's weirdly up!" I heard someone's cheerful voice. I looked back to find the pretty handsome man smiling at all of us.

"Yeah, because you happen to have no confidence at all. And what were you doing inside my bedroom? " Armaan asked him quite annoyed.

So there was someone who annoyed him nd who was it?

" Dressing up and please sanitise your desk and bed and floor and.." He teased him before pulling Navya to his chest.

Well sanitisation?

She pushed his chest lightly and stopped him, " Stop teasing the easy tease-able person. "

"Yeah right. Well, well who is this pretty woman? " He asked pointing at me.

" Meet Arshita Agrawal, Armaan's PA" She told him while Armaan just stared them as they intentionally encircled their arms probably to annoy him more.

" And the one whom he more than adores! " He chuckled.

Here starts the awkward moment.

I stood there as a object to look at they all stared me and I squirmed.

" Arshita he is the one with whom my sister hooks up and no one in the family objects about it. " Armaan said attracting my attention. He was now leaning on the desk.

" Yeah, I get to date a beautiful woman unlike him. Is he pestering you date him? I think so. "

What the hell?

That man stood before me, looking at me.

Okay

" What the hell am I supposed to say?" I looked at Him tilting my neck to his side.

" We have a meeting in an hour. " He said slowly, turning towards his laptop bag whole the man stood at the spot smiling at me.

" We have a meeting in an hour. " I looked up to that man again and said casually and he burst into laughing.

What now?

" Arshita! " Armaan snickered and called before holding my hand and pulling me out of the room.

" Why was he laughing at me? " I cried as I managed with him.

" Nothing because he is Aarav Dhanraj and I don't like him. " He said.

" I don't like him too now because he laughed at me. Well why you don't like him? " I asked stupidly.

" Who would like a man whom your sister dates and if that is not much he has a senseless humour? You tend to not like him. " He explained.

" You hate him? " I asked him.

" Why would I hate him? Navya loves him. But, still I just don't like him. " He said twitching his lips.

" Gotcha! " I said.

" Work time! "

" Yeah right. "

••

After the meeting, we decided to head to our hotel room as it was really tiring day. And I needed a hot dinner on my plate after escaping from Navya's boyfriend. Whoever he was around me, I would get so embarrass and try to avoid him.

" Hey Armaan! "

Oh shit

" Yes. " He turned towards Aarav.

" Tomorrow night there will be family get-together and I would like you bring your girlfriend, oh you don't have one. Arshita will you join him? I mean I was giving you separate invitation but he needs a girl. " I looked at him wide eyed.

" That's okay. I will join. " I said and that's when he looked away.

" Great! " He chirped.

" I would come too because I intend to see how much butter you have got!" He laughed.

" Bye. Good night! " Aarav said politely to us for the first time, without any sarcasm or tease.

" Why does he always tease you about 'not having' girlfriend? " I asked and regretted the next moment.

" Because I don't have girlfriend and so you get teased. " He said as obvious thing.

" Thank god no one teases me! " I breathed.

" Why would you get teased for not having a girlfriend? " He asked trying to c***k me up again.

" Heard about PJ's because I did? " I said closing and opening times my eyes.

" Well lets not become someone's fun making Bags and date each other. What say? " He winked at me.

" I don't know if I want that. " I said thinking about it for a while.

" Take your time pretty but lets have some booze. What a night in NY would mean without getting drunk enough to to carried away by our people?" He said clapping his hand as we sat in the back seat of the car.

" Again I don't know if I want that. " I said unsure.

" Common you can trust me.. On your safety. " He said.

" I don't know if can trust you. " I said monotonously chipping my own guards.

" Oh you know you can. " he said and do we lead to one if the bars.
