"I do not want someone who stands next to me because they are lonely. I want someone who stands next to me because they cannot imagine standing next to anyone else."

Due to the fact she didn't complete the total number of tasks in the afternoon. Aaradhya wanted to return to her dormitory after dinner and then complete the remaining last task. But before this desire could be acted upon, it was destroyed by the incident...

Aaradhya was chatting with Abhinav whilst eating Haagen Dazs' chocolate ice cream and split some on her top as the driver suddenly applied brakes of the car to avoid a vehicle which speed's towards their car.

So Abhinav asked the driver to take turn towards Aaradhya's dormitory.

Several boys were sitting in front of the girl's dormitory arranging candles and putting a bouquet of roses next to them. No need to think about it; this was a confession scene.

Aaradhya curled her lips and said, "This is too high-profile. In case a girl doesn't like him, and he mustered a large force but ended in tragedy; both sides would be embarrassed."

"What's embarrassing about it? Does this kind of trivial matter need to be taken seriously?" Abhinav asked looking at the scene.

Aaradhya lost interest and turned away from the scene. "If you ask me, he should choose a place without people to confess. It doesn't have to be as eye-catching as holding a bouquet of roses. If the girl is really interested in him, he just needs to take two wildflowers and his confession would be successful."

Abhinav nodded thoughtfully. "So it's like that."

Aaradhya entered the dormitory thought side door avoiding the scene infront of it. After she got changed her dressed, Aaradhya came downstairs and walked towards the car with her backpack.

"Senior Aaradhya!!"  This startling roar suddenly pulled everyone's attention, including Aaradhya's.

Aaradhya heard someone calling her before she got to step into the car, she turned her head and saw a guy wearing a baseball cap, holding a bouquet of fiery roses, running towards her.

"Yes??" She nodded, since she was not familiar with that guy.

He directly placed the bouquet of red roses in front of her. "For you!"

Aaradhya was stupefied. What was this situation??

Evening was exactly the time when the students from all departments converged together from all directions. There was simply no need to spread the news; it attracted thousands of students to become enthusiastic spectators.

The fiery red roses were still held before her. Aaradhya couldn't help but take two steps back, unthinkingly bumping into the car that was waiting for her. She started to feel the unhappy gaze from a certain person through the car window.

The guy in baseball cap get down on one knee and proposed, "I like you senior, can I be your boyfriend?" This was said aloud. The students who watched it immediately made a noise.

Aaradhya smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, you are excellent but I have a boyfriend." She spoke so generously and there was a moment of silence around her.

The car driver looked at the knotted eyebrows of his boss through rear view mirror and felt that the intimidating aura was spread out in the car.(A/N: Well, a certain someone is eating vinegar)

The driver step out of the car and opened the passenger door for Aaradhya, "Madam.."

Aaradhya nodded and get into the car. As all the attention was on the guy who stood there still with bouquet of red roses in his hand, nobody noticed Abhinav in the car.

Abhinav took a glimpse at her then stretched out his hand to take the things from her hand without making any eye contact or saying anything.

After sometime with no one talking, Aaradhya asked, "Abhi... are you shunning me?"

Shun his Aadhya? Abhinav wanted to laugh in his heart. When had he ever shun her?

Abhinav shook his head,but he still doesn't stop sulking.

Aaradhya thought that him being sulky like this was so cute and teased him, "Baby, are you jealous?"

"What? I can't get jealous?"

Aaradhya wrapped her arms around Abhinav's shoulders. "Of course you can, you can do anything."

"Then, I'm jealous..."

"Hmm.."

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Abhinav asked looking at her mischievously.

Aaradhya smiled and leaned forward to kiss on his cheek and said, " Come on baby, don't be angry any more.."

The driver infront tried hard not to laugh out loud and pretended like he didn't hear his mighty boss acting like baby.

Abhinav acted like he was still angry as he continued to let Aaradhya hug him. But, while she didn't see, his lips slowly curved upwards.

Aaradhya intertwined their hands and teased his palm, Abhinav hold her hand tightly in his palm and said, "Precious, be good, don't make trouble."

"I didn't like that guy." The person who was sulking along the way started to talk. Actually, Aaradhya was aware that his stare was like as if he wanted to kill and while on the way, he was just sitting quietly and frowning all the way.

"I already rejected him,"  Aaradhya told to the person who was frowning and leaning against the car seat with a male god appearance all the while holding her palm tightly.

"His eyes..." Abhinav narrowed his eyes and his face looks even more frustrated.

Aaradhya thought his actions were cute. But it seems that this situation has been going on for all the way now, if her family's certain someone gets even more serious then she will not know how to reconcile.

"Abhi.."

Abhinav looked at her.

Aaradhya smiled as she saw there's a bit of reaction on his still face, "I have some doubts in work... can I go home with you and will you teach me?"

Abhinav still stays quiet but his eyes started to shine and the corner of his mouth lifted a bit.

"Cannot?.." Aaradhya pretended to sigh, "Never mind, I will just ask..."

"Who says cannot?!" Abhinav quickly said and Aaradhya turned her head to the window to restrain herself from laughing.

"If you are still angry, it's better I don't disturb you. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

"I'm not."

"What?"

"I'm not angry. How can I be angry with you?"

"You won't be angry with me?"

"Will not angry."

In the end, Aaradhya turned back and burst out laughing, reached out her hand to pinch his face. Abhinav got that he was tricked by her.

"Don't go back on your words." Aaradhya hurriedly said.

Abhinav shook his head with a smile on his face, his little one was getting bolder and bolder in front of him, but he was happy to spoil her like this.

Without anyone saying it out, the driver changed the lane and drove towards the Villa.

Abhinav hugged her into his arms, tightened his arms,and rubbed her hair, then lowered his head and buried his face between her neck and rubbed his nose, spraying all his breath on her skin; "Precious..."

"Abhi.. " Aaradhya was tickled by his breath, shrank her shoulders and instead of avoiding it, she hugged him tighter.

"Precious..."

"Hmm...what's it baby?" Aaradhya caressed his hair.

"Nothing.." What to do? My darling is too dazzling and is very likeable

"Is it??"

Abhinav nodded and said, "My precious is too good and very lovely..." He greedily smelled the refreshing rose smell from her body, and tightened his arms around her waist.

Aaradhya blinked, then smiled brighter, returned the hug tightly and said, "But I only love my Bava."

Aaradhya didn't know how to embrace him tighter, how to tell him the love overflowing all over her heart.

Abhinav looked up and saw her eyes, which was filled with his image.

This was the most beautiful view he had ever seen.
