The mehendi ritual was in full swing and Teja came to the lawn wearing a top and loose pants and looked around weirdly. All the girls were dressed in gorgeous ethnic wear and wear applying mehendi.

"Are you serious?" She muttered looking at everyone.

"Teju what are you wearing?" One of the girls looked at her with a frown.

"What is the need to dress up so much for applying mehendi?" She shrugged and sat in front of a woman who was doing the designs.

Karan who was sitting a little bit away from the girls chuckled hearing her. For the first time she made sense.

In half an hour as her mehendi was done , she went and sat aside waiting for it to dry.

Karan came and sat in front of her.

"What?" She frowned at him.

He shook his head and quickly clicked a few pictures , all of where she was whining to him not to click.

"Choose one...." He showed her his phone and swiped on the screen showing the pictures.

"Karan don't you dare...." She warned him knowing what he will do next. He will post in his story with a weird caption just so that people thought there was something.

"Fine this one then?" He showed her one picture where she was making at his camera.

"Karan don't i am warning you....people are already shipping us...." She whined like a kid.

"Haan toh?we are getting married right?let them....there is no lie to what i am doing...." He smirked at her.

"Shut up....when did we decide on getting married?" She snapped at him.

"Last night....in the pool...." He bend down and whispered huskily making her heart beats go high.

"Wh....what non sense...." She fumbled her words with the proximity and his voice. "We never decided that...." She finished after composing herself.

"What?we decided that right?" He whispered huskily.

"We didn't....we just said we will try giving a chance and see if we...." Before she could finish he cut her off.

"And you think you can resist my charm?never Ms.Wrong Parking...." He leaned back and sat putting the weight of his upper body on his arms stretched behind.

"Stop calling me that...." She sighed in irritation.

"Okay fine now choose a caption....gorgeous or sexy?" He sat straight again and typed in his phone.

"Karan don't...." She gritted her teeth.

"What did you say?chudail?naahhhhh...." He said making a face. "I think gorgeous is fine as of now...." And with that he posted the story and showed her the screen smiling evilly.

"I might end up killing you someday i am not even joking...." She said angrily and he laughed which angered her more.

"Really?" He bended ahead again making her breathing go fast again. "When?on our wedding night?"

She gulped and leaned back.

"You won't feel like killing me then....who knows you might be screaming something else?" He said huskily.

Her eyes widened at his audacity.

"Lallu...." He leaned back and laughed loudly.

"Get lost from here or else i will put these hand on your white T-shirt...." She forwarded her hands and he jumped up and walked backwards and gave her a flying kiss.

"What a grade A idiot...." She muttered angrily.

*****

Teja went to the food counter and looked around to find nobody. She was thirsty as hell and wanted to drink water but the semi dried mehendi on her hands made things worse for her.

She made a face and tried to pick a bottle by gripping it between her elbows but it fell on the ground.

She stomped her foot in frustration and was about to go and call someone when he picked a bottle from the table and opened the cap breaking the seal.

She stared at him as he looked at her.

"What?peeni hai?" He asked raising his brows and she nodded.

He moved closer to her and held the back of her head with his left hand and put the bottle on her mouth and tilted it for her to drink the water.

"Thanks...." She muttered after she was done drinking.

He nodded and moved back immediately.

"You wanna eat something?" He asked slowly.

She shook her head and he nodded.

"I can call someone if you want....you didn't even have breakfast....i saw you come down and straight away sit for mehendi...." He said looking at her.

"I had coffee in my room...." She said slowly.

"That's not food...." He rolled his eyes. "I'll call aunty or meenu...." He was about to go when he heard her say.

"They also have mehendi....all the girls have mehendi...."

"Point...." He muttered. "You mind if I...." He said slowly.

She shook her head.

"What do you want to have?" He said looking at the buffet.

"Sandwich...." She muttered.

He took a couple of sandwiches and a mug of coffee and went and sat by the pool. She sat in front of him.

He opened the plastic wrap around the sandwiches and fed her a bite and made her have a sip of coffee.

"You could have called Pra also....you didn't want to...." She said while chewing and smiled evilly.

Revenge time.

"Pra has gone out...." He rolled his eyes.

"Then call some other guy?" She said smirking.

He looked at her making a face and fed her another bite.

"Sacchhi mein kitna possessive hai tu....that too for someone who means nothing right?" She bended forward and teased him.

"Mooh bandh karke khaa...." He rolled his eyes and made her have a sip of the coffee.

"Last night you made me wear the jacket after coming out of the pool and now this....are you in love Kundrri?" She giggled like a kid.

"You wish...." He made a disgusted face.

"Awieeee....sacchhi bata...." She poked his thigh with her elbow.

"Stop irritating me Ms. Wrong Parking...." He said sternly and fed her another bite.

Their parents looked at them from a distance and smiled happily. It was happening.
