Old Warehouse:
3:00AM

"Ahhh! Bachao! Bachao koi toh bachao!" A man screamed his lungs out in extreme agony as he was being whipped mercilessly and relentlessly

"Chillao! Jitna Chillana hai chillao! Koi nahi aaraha hai tumhe bachane yaha...!" Rehansh yelled back whipping hum twice as hard...His half naked form was covered in cuts and blood from everywhere as he was continuously passing out from the pain but Rehansh would pour salt water on his cut to wake him up again....and this has been going on for 3 hours now...Yet Rehansh doesn't seem like he wants to stop any time soon

"RRS boss aapko abhi rest Lena chahiye! Bass kijiye Zara!" Shivin meekly asked

"Nahi Shiv! Isne mere Arya ko chhuneka jurrat ki hai...iski himmat bhi kaise hui meri Arya ko chhuneka huh?" Rehansh screamed as his whipping intensified even further making shivin just turn on his heels and walk outside for his own good... Rehansh is generally not so rahe driven but at times like this...it's better to stay away from him...Shivin knew that and so he did the same...He kept quiet and observed..Also texted vansh about the recent mood of RRS

Seven Hills Hospital:
7:30pm:

"Huh!" Arya Sighed as she walked further out of the hospital premises in a bid to take an auto as her Car didn't start earlier this morning and Srikant had offered her a ride....But now His shift wasn't over yet so she had to go on her own....Tiredly she walked But seeing no auto anywhere sighed knowing She's gonna be late today...

She was pulled out of her thoughts by a horn! As she looked at the Red car parked right in front of her....The door opened revealing

"Heyy!" Rehansh smiled at her

"Hi...Aap yaha?" she greeted back returning the smile

"Aap vaap bolke itna old bhi mat banao Arya! I'm barely 28...!" He said scratching his neck with a cheeky smile

"Theek hai Rehansh! Batao yaha pe iss waqt?" She asked

"Voh mei reports lene aaya thaa! Aur raaste mei tumhe dekh liya...so pooch ne aagaya kya hua ? Car kaha hai aapka?"

"Wahi toh stupid car subah subah start hi nahi ho raha thaa...toh aaj by auto!" She replied her nose scrunched in anger as she called her car stupid and reminsced the morning lecture she got from her senior for being late

"Toh chalo mere car mei.....mei tumhe drop kar doon?" He asked a lot too eagerly but realised it mid way and composed himself making her giggle at the cute antics

"Lekin- aap- tumhe problem hogi na..voh-" Arya fumbled with her words

"Friends toh aise pick up drop karte hi rehte hai na...chalo...tum address bata dho mei drop kar doonga!" Rehansh offered sweetly

"Friends? When did this happen?" She asked in confusion Making Rehansh's smile falter a little

"Arre! Dil pe leliya kya! Mazak kar rahi thi! " She said making him smile wider

"Toh friends??" He asked extending his hand

"Hum toh pehle se hi friends theyy Rehansh!"She smiled as they shook their hands

"Okay! Get in!" Rehansh said opening the door for her

"Very Chivalrous I must say!" She said after he got in the car

"Thanks!" Heat rushed to his cheeks seeing his lady love complimenting him and smiling at him...Not his first time with the ladies as many of them he met have always wanted to throw themselves on him for his money , Business and power but her! She genuinely complimented his behavior like none other did...He finally ignited the engine and drove off the hospital Premises

"So khaana kaha hai!? Any restaurants on your mind!?" He casually asked

"Huh!? What!? But voh-" He interrupted her

"But wut kuch nahi sunne wala hoon mei Arya! Friends ko treats bhi toh Deni chahiye.....Aur vaise bhi ab khaaneka time hi hai...toh argue mat karo...Aaj meri treat hai!" Rehansh spoke smiling at her  as they reached The Restaurant

VR Hotel:
8:00 PM:

..Both of them got out of the car as he threw the keys towards the valet...and took her in.... Looking around the place

"But Rehansh...I'm not dressed up for this place... please lets-" she whispered

"No problem Arya! This is my Hotel... Don't you worry... We're going to the Private Dinning Room!" He said reassuring her as he took her hand in his....The Manager's eyes slightly widened as he saw Rehansh Glare at him for staring at the unknown under dressed lady with his boss...He quickly gulped and greeted them both with a sweet smile and guided them to the private dining chamber...Made them both comfortable..

"Chalo Order Karo Arya! " He encouraged her with a charming smile unlike his usual sinister smirk...which stunned the waiter to no extents yet he dared not to question realising how much   power this lady has  that has changed his boss's Usual Scary Demeanor

"So I want Soupe à l’oignon, Coq au vin !"  She ordered

"And for desserts ma'am?" The waiter politely asked

"Umm... Chocolate Soufflé please!" She replied

"I would like the same!" Rehansh told dismissing the waiter as quickly as possible.... looking at Arya with an unexplainable look

"What!?" Arya asked awkwardly smiling

"Um! Yeh dishes pehle try kiye hai?" He asked

"......Um...Na.hi...just menu mei dekha aur pooch liya!" She shrugged

"oh accha...lekin tumhara french accent bohot accha hai!" He complimented

"Thank you...all credits to my language teacher then... she'll be really happy I learned something!" She chuckled Making him swoon over angelic face yet again...He couldn't deny how his heart fluttered everytime she just smiled at him...

Just then the waiter Served them their food

Soupe à l’oignon:

Coq au vin:

Chocolate Soufflé:

Arya began eating while Rehansh was still not able to take his eyes off her
....
"How can someone eat so cute yet elegantly...damn the hell am I even doing!?" He questioned himself on finding himself admiring the way she ate , Chewed and relished the dinner

*Snap* *Snap*
That pulled him out of his thoughts to see Arya looking at him curiously...with doe eyes staring right into his eyes....Never once he has seen someone maintaining eye contact with him for so long... Obviously out of fear but her...She wouldn't budge....instead continued looking in his eyes...Not out of disrespect or defiance but Out of curiosity and questions

"Kya hua khaana nahi khaana hai?" He heard her sweet voice

"Huh! I mean aisa nahi...kh-khaane hi wala thaa mei voh..uh..huh-" He was shocked how he stuttered for the first time in so many years , She made him nervous...only he knew the amount of pep talk he had to give himself and how many times he had to act out different scenarios in front of the mirror like a ridiculous teenager to prepare himself to meet her....And yet it didn't make him mad...Not in that way atleast...it did make him mad...Mad in love for her

"Okay! Well this soup is tasty!" She cutely licked her lips....Oh how he wished he could do that...but still knew his boundaries and chided himself for such unholy thoughts.

"So reports k baare mei Dr.Anand kya keh rahe theyy!?" She questioned

"Sab kuch normal hai kaha unhone...darne ki koi baat nahi hai!" He replied smiling at her

"Oh that's great! So....you are into Restaurant Business...?" She asked

"Well not just me...my brothers are with me as well and We not only own Restaurants all across India but also Own some resorts and Cruise too...and have a Sea Sports Equipment company , Finance Company and lastly a Music recording Label called AR Music..."

"Wow...That's cool family business....!" She complimented

"So tell me about yourself!" He said

"Is this an interview?"

"But friends need to know eachother right!?"

"Alright! What does my friend wanna know about me?" Arya teased

"Hmm...who all are there in your family...any siblings?"

"Uh...um..I'm alone!" She blankly said as if in a daze looking lost

"Huh!?"

"I..I don't have family.... Srikant and his boyfriend Jay are the only people I know here....so I guess that's my family! Tell me about yours?" She tried cheering up making him feel guilty about touching the sour subject... however he composed himself and

"Oh well me....I don't have parents either but as you saw the one that yelled at you was my twin Vansh...And I have 2 younger sisters Ishani and Siya...One cousin younger brother Arhaan whom you haven't met...Two of our Friends Arav and Shivin Living with us....A lovely Grandmother and then chacha and Chachi!" He said

"Wow That's a pretty big family!y'all live together?" She asked with a small smile

"Yes we all live together in VR MANSION!" He said,"so what are you currently doing?" He asked trying to change the topic

"Well I have finished my MBBS and now inching towards the end of my 12 months Internship in Seven Hills Hospital!" Arya said

"Ohk...so what are you going to do after this internship?" He asked

"Umm well study for NEET PG!" Arya chuckled

"Too much studies!" Rehansh commented

"Huh ....kya karu! Acchi doctor banne k liye karna toh padega na!" She said winking at him....which almost knocked the breath out of his lungs...he shook his head at how easily she can make him feel flustered like a teenager

Then the Dinner was finished and he dropped her back home

Sarvodaya Apartments:
9:45PM

"So...should I pick you tomorrow!?" He asked hoping she should say yes

"Um... Rehansh voh tumhe inconvenience-"

"Inconvenience ki koi baat nahi hai Arya... agar Friends ek dusre ko help nahi karenge toh aur kon karega??" He pouted cutely making her forget her resolve

"Okay! You win...you could come pick me at 10:30am....But only-"

"Until your car back...eh?...I know...!" He said smiling widely

"Okay! Goodnight Rehansh....Drive safe...Take care!" She said

"Sure ! You too Take care...Bye...Meet you in the morning!" He watched her walk in with a wide smile and drove off after making sure she was fine.

VR MANSION:
10:40 PM

He parked his car...And walked in with the smile not leaving his handsome face as he hummed a happy tune while walking towards the stairs

"Rehan beta!?" A sweet voice called him lovingly

"Jee daadi!" He turned towards her

"Aaj bade khush lag rahe hai...kya baat hai!?" She smiled

"Arre...kuch nahi daadi! Bass aise hi!" He lied being embarrassed as he was caught red handed

"Accha kuch nahi..uh?...theek puttar jitna chupana hai chupalo! Lekin baat mujhe kabhi na kabhi pata hi chal jaayegi!Bass Yeh Khushi aur yeh muskurahat hamesha bani rehe" She chuckled blessing him and both went back to their own rooms

"There's just something so intoxicating about this love...I know I'm getting  addicted to her yet cannot deny it in the beginning!

Kyaa jaadhu Kiya hai tumne Arya! Bass tumhaare pyaar mei doobte hi Jaa Raha hoon.... koi kinara nazar hi nahi aarahi hai....Bass tum hi tum dikh rahi ho har jagah....kya yehi pyaar hai? (*Chuckles*)

Ha yehi pyaar hai...Rehansh ka pyaar....Rehansh ki Arya se pyaar na kinara hai uska nahi haddh.....Tum keh rahi thi na  ‘I'm alone’..soon it would change Arya...I would change it....and then you would also brag about having a big family as yours.... That's my promise Mi Amore!"

Rehansh's POV ends

And He sleeps on his bed Thinking about Arya...His Arya...

Next morning was another cheerful day for Rehansh as he got ready not for office but for meeting His Arya...He knew she would go to the joggers park so he silently followed her again...Today she was alone but he hesitated to go upto her...he stayed quietly observing her when A older Man beside her stumbled in his way and fell

"Uncle ji? Are you okay!" She quickly came to his side helped him stand up...She led him to the nearby bench to have him take a seat...She returned his walking stick to him...And gave him some water...then without any hesitation knelt down to examine his knee, after making sure it was nothing to worry...she got up inquire about him and found out he came alone for a walk, on asking why he was alone at this age...he revealed how his wife had died few years ago and his children live far away

"So what can I do for you uncle ji? Can we have breakfast together? I'll leave you home soon!" She asked knowing there's a nearby Restaurant where she came eat with him...The Old man happily agreed and went with her where they shared a beautiful meal time together and she called for a cab to safely leave him to his home and paid for his trip...And Rehansh was completely smitten and admired her during this entire ordeal
