I actually loved Riya's idea of marrying on the same day. And after we parted and went home I proposed the same to my parents.

"Wait, you were out with Aarav, then where does Riya fall in the picture ?" Mom asked.

And that was when I realized that she actually has no idea about all of us being friends.

So I told her that it turned out that Aarav and I had some common friends.

"Well as long as you are happy, we are happy." Dad said.

"Thank you dad. I love you." I said as I hugged him.

The rest day went ahead just as usual, only the difference was that I kept receiving Aarav's calls.

"Are you sure you really want to marry Aarav ?" Dad asked, which really surprised me.

"Yes dad. I am. But why are you asking me this ? I thought you liked Aarav." I said.

"Yeah, I liked Aarav, I just wanted to be sure. I can't believe my little princess will get married in a year." Dad said.

"You don't need to worry dad. I really am ready." I said smiling.

"Okay so I will talk with your friends parents to fix a date." Dad said and I couldn't help the smile that was forming on my face.

The next few weeks went by as usual. I kept working at the hospital and visited Aarav sometimes and he visited me sometimes.

I also kept in touch with Sid and Riya. And during the same time, dad gave me the news that I was waiting to hear these weeks.

"Aarohi, we have fixed a date. It may be a little early but Aarav and Sid insisted, so you will be married on 20th December, somewhat six months later." Dad told me.

Of course they insisted, I thought to myself.

"You are okay this, right ?" Dad asked.

"Yes dad, I am." I told him honestly.

The next few months went by and our visits increased as the days to our marriage decreased.

During this time, Aarav bonded really well with my parents and any doubt dad had about Aarav was no more there.

When about a month was left for our marriage, we four decided to go on a trip, a small 3 day trip. And luckily after a little persuading, mom and dad agreed.

"I just want you to be careful Aarohi. I know you can take care of yourself." Mom said.

"Just don't do something you would regret later. And be safe." Dad said.

I understood what he meant. And I was not gonna do anything that I would regret ever.

So finally the day arrived when we were supposed to leave and I was really happy.

We decided to go to Matheran, as the climate was just perfect to be there.

And when we reached there, it felt surprisingly too good to be finally away from home. I don't know why I felt so, but I couldn't help the feeling.

"So what do you girls wanna do ?" Sid asked us.

"I just want to go to our room and cuddle with you. I am really tired to go anywhere." Riya said.

"You heard what my queen said." Sid said.

"Yeah, yeah, we heard. You can go. Anyways it will be dark soon, so I guess we should also go to our room. What do you say Aarohi ?" Aarav asked.

"Yeah. I am okay with that." I said, and I felt tingling sensation all over my body when Aarav said 'our room'. I mean, I was going to share room with him.

"Great then. See you both tomorrow. Bye." Sid said as he went towards his room and we went to our room after saying bye.

When we got in our room, I went directly to the washroom to change and freshen up. After I came out of the washroom Aarav went inside.

When he went I sat on the bed not knowing what I should do. So I quickly fished out my phone and started going through it and then I remembered that I hadn't yet informed mom and dad that I have reached.

But I was not really in the mood to talk so I typed a message telling them that we reached and that I am going to sleep and that I will call tomorrow, then I hit send and laid down on the bed and closed my eyes.

After sometime I felt someone's presence next to me, I opened my eyes to see Aarav.

"Hey Angel." Aarav said sexily.

"Hi." I replied.

"What's the matter Angel ? You seem to be worried. Are you not feeling well ?" He said as he sat next to me and took me on his lap.

"No. I am fine. I am just..." I didn't finish the sentence since I didn't know what to say.

"Hot and sexy and beautiful and mine forever." He said completing my sentence.

And just as he said that, blood crawled up to my cheeks and I instantly blushed.

"You look more beautiful when you blush." Aarav said still looking at me and I looked at him.

"I am so happy that finally you would be mine forever. I can call you my wife. I will be able to wake up next to you every morning, to see that pretty face of yours next to me." Aarav said as he made me face him, with my legs now wrapping around his waist.

"Aarav, I love you." I said to him.

"I love you, Aarohi. I never stopped loving you." He said as he held my hand which was on his left cheek.

We just kept looking at each for quite some time and then slowly Aarav started leaning in and in no time his lips were on mine and what followed next was something I thought I would never do.
