Ahana's P.O.V

I put my phone on vibrate mode. I could feel it vibrating continuously and I knew who was calling. But I kept ignoring. Eventually, when he wouldn't stop, I switched off my phone.

Yet, I wasn't able to concentrate on anything Parineeti or anyone for that matter were telling me. My thoughts were only about that conversation. As much as I trust Rehaan, I'm scared too. Because Bethany is just so good looking and smart and I'm just me. I'm not impressive like her. Nor am I confident. I'm this awkward, shy, geeky, ordinary girl. She's rich, beautiful, extremely social and smart. Nothing like me.

"Ahana!!" Nidhi shook me. I looked at her and saw that she was frowning and mum and Kangana aunty were looking at me with concerned looks. "I'm sorry, what?" I asked politely.

"Kangana just asked you if you liked the red lehenga she showed you a while ago or the green one with white sequins." Mum said.

"Oh. I uh like them both." I said. Oh god. I wasn't listening or looking. I have clue how the green or the red lehengas look like. "What about the beige one?" Nidhi asked with an eye brow raised. There was a beige one too?

"That one's good too" I said, faking a smile. "You weren't listening at all, were you?" Nidhi asked. What? "No I was." I said.

She rolled her eyes. "I know you aren't interested but Ahana, you got to listen! It's your engagement and your wedding. And this isn't like you. I know you're hiding something. Tell me." She said. She looked very serious and I knew she meant what she was saying.

"There's nothing like that. Really. Ma tell her." I said and looked at my mother. She looked very concerned. She shook her head negatively and said "What she's saying is true Ahana. You aren't listening. What is wrong?"

"Nothing ma. Why do you think that? I am listening!" I said. I thought I was a pretty good actor.

"Ahana, dear, we didn't show you any beige lehenga." Kanagana aunty said. Oh.

Oh god. I've been caught.

I looked down embarrassed. What do I say now?

" You know what? I'll tell Parineeti that we'll come on Sunday again. You look stressed beta (child), and there's something obviously bothering you. You won't be able to make any sensible decisions now. So when you're in a better mood, we'll be back okay?" Kangana aunty said.

I was honestly very grateful to her. I just want to go home.

"Haan (yes) beta (child), let's go home. You rest and we'll come back on Sunday." Mum agreed. I nodded and mumbled an 'okay'.

"I'll go and tell her. She's in her office. You guys can go sit in the car." Kangana aunty said. We nodded and left to the car. Soon, Kangana aunty came and we went back home. The ride was silent but there was slight tension in the air.

"You are telling me what happened. And that isn't a question, it's a statement." Nidhi whispered. I nodded. I don't have a choice and I need someone to give me a truthful opinion.

We reached and Nidhi pulled me into my room. "So, what is bothering you? You've been acting so weird. You didn't answer Rehaan's call, you weren't even concentrating on what people were saying at the boutique, you looked extremely dull and you still do ,and you're hiding things from me." She rambled.

"You're not on drugs right?" she asked a little hesitantly. " What? No!" I said.

"Then what is it? Tell me." She said gently. I sighed and told her everything that happened when I called him. " So now, I don't know what to do." I ended.

She gaped at me in shock. "You trust him, right?" she asked. I nodded, "Yea I do but I don't know how to handle this. I've never been in such a situation before."

"Is that why you didn't pick up his call?" she asked softly. I nodded. " Where's your phone?" she asked. I took my phone from my bag and gave it to her. She switched it on and it vibrated continuously. "Whoa. 40 messages and 22 missed calls. All are from Rehaan except two messages and one phone call." She said. My eyes widened. He tried to contact me that many times?

"Ahana, I really don't think Rehaan would cheat on you. He seems to genuinely like you. I don't believe this Bethany. I think you should talk to him before jumping to conclusions." She said wisely. I nodded. "I thought that too." I said.

"It's already ten in the night. I'll text him that I'll meet him tomorrow." I said. We didn't even realize how fast time flew. We returned from the boutique at around six in the evening and we spoke for so long, till ten!

"Yea you do that and I'll go get us some food." She said and went downstairs to the kitchen.

I texted him : Hi, I will meet you tomorrow at the Little Dinette Café at 1 in the afternoon. We'll talk then.

It was crisp and neat. I sent it to him and waited nervously. My phone vibrated and I saw that he was.. calling me?

Oh god. I'm not ready to talk. I took a deep breath and picked up the call, "Hello?" I said softly.

"My answer is no." he said. His voice sounded a bit strained. I wanted to ask him if he was alright but then I refrained after being reminded about the previous phone conversation.

"What?" "My answer to your text is no. I won't meet you tomorrow." He said. I could feel a sharp pain in my chest. He didn't even want to meet me now?

I tried to not make any noise of sniffling and murmured an 'Oh. Okay.' What else do I even say? I was too hurt to speak.

He didn't speak. I checked to see if he cut the call and saw that he hadn't. Why wasn't he speaking then? I waited for a few more seconds. I could hear a few sounds but couldn't make out what it was.

I sighed and cut the call. I couldn't help the tears flowing down my cheek. I sat on the bed and threw the phone onto my pillow.

What do I tell my parents? How would they feel? They really liked him. I don't want to break their hearts. Those thoughts kept coming to my mind and more tears flowed down my cheeks.

I heard some rattling and crackling noise from outside. I started freaking out. I really don't want a robber in the house right now.

My widow opened and a figure jumped in. I screamed but my screams were muffled by the robber's hands. I tried punching him. I knew it was a him since the person practically had no boobs and had stubble which poked my neck.

I struggled against him but in vain. Tears were flowing down my cheeks more rapidly. I was turned around by the person and came face to face with Rehaan.

I relaxed a little bit when I realized it was him but immediately panicked again. I tried to speak but he didn't let me.

Just as he was about to speak, Nidhi entered. She let out a scream when she was another person with me but when she saw it was Rehaan, she stopped shouting.

"What happened?! What happened?! Nidhi! Ahana!" I heard my family call. Oh god. How much drama can there even be in my life?!

"Nothing happened ma! Don't worry. This lizard just crawled in from my window and Nidhi accidently stepped on it. It's gone now so it's all cool." I went outside and said.

They all grumbled and went to their rooms. They believed us because that happened last time too.

"What are you doing here?!" I whisper yelled at him.

"You cut my call before I could even finish what my sentence." He said softly. "So you come here?!" I snapped.

"No. I was planning to anyway." He said and gave me a small smile. What the heck?! Who does he even think he is?

"Your boyfriend." He stated. "Huh?"

"You asked me who I think I am. I don't think that but I know that I am your boyfriend." He said. I rolled my eyes. I said that out loud.

"You're not my boyfriend." I stated firmly.

"See? That's why I came here." He said and came closer to me. I kept moving back and he kept coming closer till my back hit the door and he left only a few inches gap between us.

"Okay before you guys start making out, just remember I'm here and I don't want to see y'all doing 'it'." Nidhi said. My eyes widened and I looked down in embarrassment. Also, I didn't want them to see me blush.

Rehaan laughed. "Don't worry Nidhi. I'm not going to do anything like that to her right now. I was planning to but you're here so maybe not right now. But don't stay in her room at night after we're engaged cause I can't promise anything then." He said looking straight at me. The blush on my face darkened by many number of shades.

Nidhi gagged. "At this rate, it won't be much of a surprise if Ahana gets pregnant as soon as you're married." She said.

Oh my god. I groaned out loud and covered my face. I can't take this. It's too much pressure.

" Now I wouldn't want to disobey my sister-in-law now, would I?" he said smirking. I hate this situation. I'm dying of embarrassment.

"But right now, I need to make things clear so a little privacy would be appreciated Nidhi." He said. My eyes widened. Alone with him, in a bedroom? Right after he spoke all this? No thanks!

"No Nidhi. You'll stay here." I said glaring at him. "Uh no thanks. I'll pass. I don't want to be scarred for life." She said and went out of the room.

I turned to him, "I don't want to talk to you right now." I said. "Well, too bad cause I am not leaving until we clear this mess." He said. I sighed, "Rehaan, it's late. I'm tired. Please go home." I said softly.

"Exactly. I'm tired too. Don't make this hard." He said.

"Fine. What do you want to say?" I asked, giving up. "The whole conversation with Bathany? None of what she said was true." He said. "Oh really? Why were you in the same room then? She was in your house Rehaan." I stated firmly.

"Ten minutes. That's all I ask. I'll explain everything." He said. "Fine." I said. Not like I even had a choice.

So then he explained everything from how she barged into his house when no one was home, how she sneaked into his room, was all over him and how she snatched his phone.

I kept quiet when he finished. "Ahana?" he said softly. I looked at him and whispered, "I trust you." I knew he was telling the truth. I could see it in his eyes and Bethany seemed like someone who would do this.

"God! I love you." He said and hugged me. I froze. Did he just say he loved me? Or was I dreaming?

He pulled away from me and said " I really love you Ahana. I love you so much. I was scared of losing you. I swear I'd never cheat on you. I can't even think about it. Why will I even look at other women when I have the best?"

I smiled and cried at the same time and hugged him back. I went towards his ear and whispered, "I love you too." And kissed his neck.

"You do?" he asked. I nodded. "God, I want to kiss you so bad!" he murmured. "What are you waiting for then?" I whispered and cupped his face with both my hands and kissed him.

I could feel that I took him by surprise when I kissed him. He instantly recovered and smiled against my lips, kissing me back. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and damn he tasted soo good. My tongue entangled with his and we kept kissing. It felt so good and strangely I didn't feel gross. And our kiss thought French, it felt pure and right.

He pulled me onto his lap and kissed my neck. I couldn't help but moan softly. Even though he bit, it felt good. He pulled away after and brought my face back to his and French kissed my lips again. I was still on his lap. I was blushing way too hard but I didn't want to stop. It felt so right and it was so pleasurable.

Suddenly the door opened and Nidhi came in. When she saw us, she yelped and closed her eyes and ran back downstairs. I pulled away from Rehaan.

"You should go." I said softly. I saw him pouting. "But I don't want to." He said and came closer kissing me again. Before I lost control, I pulled away. "No Rehaan. Go. Really." I said. He reluctantly agreed and went towards the window. I saw he had used my grandfather's wobbly ladder to climb up here.

He turned around and pointed at his lips. I raised an eye brow. He pointed at his lips with his finger. Even though I understood what he was asking for, I pretended like I didn't. I raised my eye brow again.

He rolled his eyes, pointed to his lips and then mine and made a duck face. I couldn't help but giggle. He looked so cute. I went to him, stood on my tippy toes and pecked his lips and cheek.

"I asked for one but two can do too." He said muttering to himself as he got up the window and got down the ladder. I blushed. He looked adorable and I couldn't help myself.

When I saw him leave in his car, I called Nidhi. She came upstairs yawning and said "Wow. You guys have quite a bit of an appetite and stamina. I mean you continuously made out for half an hour!"

I blushed hard. "No we didn't." I said. "Sure. I could hear all the talking since I was right outside the door. Also, my phone was in so I had nothing to do so I eavesdropped and right I heard your moans, I went downstairs and I checked the time to see when y'all will finish and you finished in 31 minutes and 11 seconds precisely." She said.

I blushed when she said that. I didn't even know we were here that long. "You were bored alright." I stated and slept on my bad. My phone beeped and I saw a message from Rehaan. I smiled.

It said: Tomorrow's date is on. At Little Dinette Café , 1 pm. Don't be late. Good night baby. Love you. xx

I smiled and texted : I'll see you tomorrow. Good night. Love you too.xo

I saw that Nidhi was asleep. I kept my phone on the table and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
