Swara's POV-

After that, he took me back to the office from where Radhe kaka took me home. I then took all my clothes for the engagement and started for Aryan's place.

" Aryan, where is aunty?" I asked, entering his living room where he was watching some movie.

" In the room with some aunties doing something." He replied, without even sparing me a glance. Such was his love for the movie going on.

I smacked his head for his lack of attention but he was so engrossed in the movie that he didn't even react. I finally looked at the screen only to see that he it was not any movie, it was Top Gun playing.

" Ohh....you watching Top Gun." I hopped right next to him on the couch and he extended the bowl of popcorn towards me.

" Damn....I watched the movie after so long." He told me as the credentials started rolling on towards the end.

" I know, I almost forgot that Tom Cruise is so hot!" I exclaimed.

It was almost four by the time the movie was over. And then I realized that I was here to help aunty......not watch Top Gun with this fool!

" Oh shit idiot! Where were you watching this right now....I came here to help aunty and instead, ended up having a movie afternoon with you!" I exclaimed, getting up and threw a cushion on his face.

" Oh right, I am fault here too." He muttered, getting up too.

" Most certainly you are....who watched Top Gun hours before their engagement?" I asked him, more like almost screamed at him.

" Kids.....kids. Stop screaming and fighting. And Swara, it's okay. I mostly needed you for keeping him away from doing all the work on his own on the day of his engagement and I was the one who put the movie on. I knew that you both wont blink once while it was on. So mission accomplished." Aunty said, coming towards us.

" We were played." He muttered.

" Yes, no one can play us. We are a rock solid team. I think we did lose our touch somewhere." I told him and he nodded in agreement.

" But don't worry.....we can always make a comeback." He assured me.

Then we made aunty and other aunty relatives sit and did all the remaining work in one hour.

" Kids, now we are going to get ready. Swara, you go with Aryan to pick his sherwani up and see the fittings. It got a little delayed and also, get it fit if it is lose or tight because he will just wear it as it will be. No fitting, nothing." She instructed me and I dragged him to the store.

" Bhaiya, is this how you fit the clothes? See, it's so lose. You do it properly or I'm telling you, I won't pay you one penny." I threatened the person responsible.

I mean, he had done a terrible job. There was no fitting and proper cut, this kind of tardy thing will not be wore by my best friend on his engagement and that's final.

" Swara, you are scaring the man. Please calm down." Aryan said but his voice was all background noise. It was me versus the seamster now.

" You don't interrupt while I am talking. It is almost six in the evening. Your engagement starts at seven thirty and this person has not done the one job he was told to do!" I now schooled him.

He too was responsible for this. Could he not got this done in time?

" Relax S, it will be done." He kept going on and on about how I should relax but he did not say a word to that stupid tailor. Who is he....my best friend or his?

" Now you....I want to talk to the manager of this huge store which caters to the one percent people of this city, the RICH! First they keep the rates so high and then they fail to provide quality service." I shouted at the salesperson.

" Swara....beta what is happening?" I heard Mom's voice. She was here with Karan, Preeti and Aditya.

" Oh thank god man! At least someone is here with me to calm her down." Aryan muttered as I glared at him.

" Okay Swara...what is happening here and why do these people look like they are going to die?" Karan joked, coming to me.

I narrated the whole incident to them and mom had a frown on her face, so did Preeti.

" Okay, but what is the need to get so worked up?" Aditya asked.

" Bhai, obviously she will be agitated. This kind of behavior is not acceptable from a store like them." Preeti supported me and I nodded.

Finally, the manager assured us that the work will be done in twenty minutes and offered us seats to us.  By then, Preeti collected her dress too. 

" Mom, but why are you all here?" I asked them.

" Beta, Preeti needed to collect a dress from here and this store was on the way to the venue so Aditya offered us to drive here because your dad's driver was with him and Aditya's driver had to go home for some emergency and then this Karan met us right outside the house and he was ready too so he tagged along too." She replied and I nodded.

" Aryan, now call aunty and inform her that you will directly reach to the venue. Let her leave with your relatives to welcome the guests. I just got a text from mumma that they will be reaching to the venue to help aunty too." I addressed him.

" Don't worry about it S, she has already left for there and yes, she did get a call from aunty about the same." He replied and then we fell in silence for a while which was again broken by Aryan.

" Oh S madam...your clothes are at my place and mom has left and the doors are locked and I don't have the keys. What are you planning on wearing?" He asked.

Oh shit! He was right but I am smart too.

" Don't worry. I'll go home and wear something else." I replied casually.

" Ooo....Einstein, aunty, uncle and grandpa have also left." He said and he was right.

" Why does all this nuisance happen with me!" I whined, irritated.

" It's okay beta, this is a clothes shop. Get something from here and the tailor will do the fitting in five minutes for you because now obviously he is very scared." Mom suggested, chuckling.

" But mom, I forgot to get my credit card! I don't have more than five hundred rupees with me." I panicked.

" Swara, relax. I am here." Aditya said, walking to where I was sitting.

" But...." I started to object.

" Do you even want me to get engaged or no?" Aryan asked, more like over reacted.

" Your sherwani will be ready in no time now. You don't have anything to worry about." I said, rolling my eyes.

" Stupid S, what makes you think that it is about the sherwani? I am not exchanging rings with Tanya without you." He declared making me sigh.

" Ma'am, the sherwani is ready." The manager informed us. Aryan tried it and indeed, it was perfect.

Having no option, he got ready in the men's room and then I put a little nazar ka tika just to piss him off.

" Back off S!" He said, scrunching his face.

" It's nazar ka tika Aryan." I replied and did what I had to.

" Okay, so Karan, Preeti and I will go with Aryan in his car. Swara, you get a dress for yourself and then Adi will take you home so that you can get dressed." Mom said and all of us nodded.

" Swara, you will get whatever is required to get ready in my dressing closet there." Preeti offered.

" Thank you so much!" I exclaimed and she gave a smile, then all of them left for the venue.

" Let's get you something Mrs. Kapoor." Aditya said and I nodded.

I was so confused with so many dresses around! And to top it all, we had no time.

" I turned to look at Aditya who was looking at a beautiful dress. It was a very beautiful blue color lehenga with light golden work. Oh my god! How did I not see it earlier?

" Wow!" I whispered as I walked to where he was standing.

" I'll try this on." I added.

" Swara, we don't exactly have any time to try things on. Just get this one." He said and I nodded as he made sense.

But I did try the blouse which was a perfect fit fortunately.

He then paid for the dress and we started for the manor which was just a five minute drive.

" You can just get ready in Preeti's room. It'll be easier for you." He said, showing me her room.

" Thank you for the dress Aditya." I turned towards him before walking inside.

True to her word, Preeti did have everything that would help me get ready. I quickly did my hair and a little makeup and then slipped into the dress.

Swara's Look-

I did everything except for the back doris of the blouse. Even in the store, a salesgirl helped me but here....I have to take his help.

" Aditya." I called for him.

" Yeah, you done?" He asked, opening the door to step in.

" Almost, I just need your help to tie these." I asked, holding the strings.

He nodded as he walked towards me and I turned around. His cold hands brushed a couple of times while tying the knots, sending shivers down the spine and goosbumps all over.

" The effect that I have on you is dangerous for you." He muttered in my ear, his rough, husky voice making me shiver.

" Thank you." I said as I grabbed tdupatta to put it on.

" Trust me love, the pleasure was all mine." He smirked, making me go wordless.

" Let's leave or we will be late." I said, taking a step towards the door when I felt a tug on the dupatta. Assuming that it got struck somewhere, I turned to free it only to see Aditya holding one corner of it.

" Wha....what do you th...think that you are doing?" I asked him, not meeting his eyes.

" This." He replied in a word as he pulled me towards him and snaked his arms around my waist.

I had no idea what to say so I just kept quiet.

" I wish you were a little bold Mrs. Kapoor but it's okay, I'll just have to be that for you." He said.

I finally gathered courage to meet his eyes and then watched as his eyes flickered from my eyes down to my lips and then back to my eyes. As he leaned in, I tried to calm my heartbeat due to our proximity but it was of no use. Whenever he's near me, it feels like my body has a mind of it's own. His head tilted and leaned forward as he claimed my lips with his and his hands moved from my waist to my cheeks, running his thumb down then lovingly. I froze for a moment, my hands still on his chiseled chest but when I finally regained my senses, I started kissing him back, my hand went up to his hair and my fingers entangled them. His tongue continued to dominate mine and this was a battle I didn't exactly mind losing and I did. Finally, after what seemed like hours, I stopped for air. I was breathless and that is when realization hit me, I kissed him. It was more like he kissed me but I was an equal, willing participant.

All the heat rushed down my cheeks and it felt like they were on fire.

" You are so innocent." He chuckled and I couldn't meet his eyes again.

" We are getting late Aditya." I said, trying so hard to change the topic.

" You look absolutely ravishing Mrs. Kapoor." He said as he scanned me from top to bottom.

" Well you don't look too bad yourself Mr. Kapoor." I complimented him too,

Then he leaned near me and pecked my cheek and I not expecting this just after what happened, widened my eyes, earning his chuckle once more.

" A simple peck and kiss does this to you Mrs. Kapoor, I wonder what will happen when I make you all mine." He said so unexpectedly that I was dumbstuck.

" Aditya, I will kill you if Aryan is waiting for us to exchange rings." I just hoped that changing the topic would work this time, but I was completely wrong.

" Nice try Mrs. Kapoor but that deep red color adoring your cheeks right now gives it all." He replied, laughing.

" Aditya....let's go." I dragged him, linking my arms with his.

" Swara, carefully or you'll fall down with the heels you're wearing." He said, making me go slow.

" I don't want to get late!" I whined as we reached the stairs when all of a sudden, I was pulled in his arms back in bridal style. I shrieked because of the suddenness.

" I am not hurt anymore!" I exclaimed but he paid me no heed once again.

" I don't want to risk you climbing down the stairs with heels." He replied, arrogantly as I rolled my eyes.

" That's not funny." I defended myself as he put me down when we were done descending the stairs.

" I never said that it was." Was his classic, cringe reply.

It took us around twenty minutes to reach the venue. Mostly, all the guests had arrived.

Walking in, I spotted Tanya. I went to them while Aditya went to greet Mumma, papa and grandpa.

" Tanya, you look so beautiful!" I exclaimed, hugging her.

" Thank you Swara. You look lovely too." She complimented and I smiled.

The ceremony went on but I could feel a fair of eyes, constantly on me, I knew whose they were. He knew that I knew that he was constantly looking at me but did not even mend his eyes then and whenever I would meet his eyes, he's just smirk which made me roll my eyes a few times and blush the other few.

Both the ways, he did manage to get a reaction out of me!
