Chapter : 27

" SORRY SORRY SORRY " Someone yelled.

Shreyas and Kirti swiftly moved away from eachother and stood with a decent distance, blushing mess. Shreyas looked up noticing Ishan, Shubman, Arshita and Ashtha were standing there mouth a jar.

" What ?" Kirti asked avoiding the awkwardness.

The youngers were controlling hard not to burst our. Ashtha and Arshita hiding themselves behind Shubman and Ishan.

" Humme disturb kiya kya?" Ishan asked knowing what they have done.

[Did we disturb you?]

Shreyas looked at them with dead eyes ," Nahi nahi ... tumne kuch nahi kara" Kirti chuckled a bit witnessing Shreyas's frustrated situation.

[No no ... you guys did nothing]

" Areh ... thum lok yaha kya kar rahi hho?" Eunsu asked in her broken Hindi.

[ Areh ... What you guys are doing here?]

" Eunsu .... Ahh ... nothing nothing, we just returned " Arshita said to manage the situation.

" Ohh ... that's okay !! *smiled* I think you guys should rest tomorrow is the wedding. " Eunsu smiled, then slowly made her way to her own room.

" She said it right " Ashtha said with a mischievous grin and dragged Ishan away with her.

" Areh Areh ... Ashtha slow down ... we'll fell down " Ishan tried to slow down Ashthas pace.

Suddenly without a warning Ashtha stopped in front of her room ," Boy ... I've so many complains to file " Ashtha said with her hands crossed upon her chest.

" Is that so? My madam has complains? Okay then start I'm all ears " Ishan stated while leaning against the door frame with a knowing smirk.

Ashtha blushed a bit then raised her eyebrows, ready to lecture her man" We haven't spend much time alone ... So I was wondering if - " Ashtha pause while walking closer to him then placed both her hands around his neck. Ishan with a soft hum pulled her more closer by her waist. His grip held a possessive hold around her hips.

" Hm .. being naughty hah?" Ishan asked, without wasting anymore time he pulled her in deep passionate kiss. Ashtha waiting for this moment responsed immediately. They way their lips moved it says how much they desire for eachother.

They started to kiss eachother more passionate. The kiss was full of love and lust. Ishan sneaked his hands on her waist and caressed her bare waist with his icey cold fingers. Ashtha put her both hands upon his well built chest.

They eventuality broke the kiss when they felt out of breath. They both huffed then attached thier forehead against eachother.

" Where are they ?" Ashtha asked, taking a deep breath. Ishan panting heavily looked around the corridor before said ," Hmm ... Didn't Shub and Arshita followed us?" Ashtha shrugged.

" Well just leave them alone, maybe they want to spend some time alone together " Ashtha reasoned. Ishans gaze linger at the way from where they came, for the last time before entering the room with Ashtha.

Ashtha hurried inside to change her clothes, while Ishan just removed his jeans, revealing his shorts. He kept his t shirt on then put the pants on the chair before sitting on the bed with his phone on.

Ashtha came out wearing a comfortable satin nightdress, she saw Ishan scrolling through his phone, his legs stretched out on the bed. His face was illuminated by the screen, his brows slightly furrowed in concentration.

"You know, you should sleep early," she said as she dried her damp hair with a towel. "Tomorrow is the wedding, and you don't want to look like a zombie."

Ishan chuckled, locking his phone and tossing it on the nightstand. "I don't think anyone would dare call me a zombie when I'm looking this handsome." He smirked.

Ashtha rolled her eyes but smiled. "Oh, the confidence!"

She moved towards the bed, sitting beside him while continuing to dry her hair. Ishan watched her, noticing how her loose curls framed her face. He reached out and gently took the towel from her hands.

"Let me," he offered.

Ashtha blinked in surprise but didn't stop him. He carefully ran the towel through her hair, his fingers occasionally brushing against her scalp, sending shivers down her spine. It was a simple gesture, but it carried warmth.

"You're really good at this," she murmured, leaning into his touch.

"Well," he smirked, "I do have some hidden talents."

Ashtha turned her head slightly to meet his eyes, and for a moment, they just stared at each other. The room was dimly lit, the only sound being the faint noise of the wind outside.

Then, Ishan suddenly leaned in and kissed her forehead. "Get some sleep," he whispered against her skin.

Ashtha hummed in agreement and climbed under the blanket while Ishan switched off the bedside lamp. He joined her under the covers, pulling her close so her head rested against his chest.

"Good night, troublemaker," he murmured.

"Good night, idiot," she replied with a small laugh, closing her eyes.

Meanwhile...

Shreyas was pacing in his room, still irritated. Kirti, sitting cross-legged on the bed, was biting back a laugh.

"I can't believe they walked in on us," Shreyas groaned. "And did you see their faces? Ishan and Shubman looked like they had just found treasure."

Kirti chuckled. "It's not their fault. We were just... caught in the moment."

Shreyas sighed, rubbing his face. "Still. Now they're never going to let us live this down."

Kirti patted the space beside her. "Forget about it. Come here."

Shreyas hesitated before sitting next to her. Kirti leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Tomorrow is going to be a big day," she whispered.

"Yeah," he agreed, wrapping an arm around her. "Let's hope nothing goes wrong."

Kirti smiled. "Even if something does, we'll handle it together."

Shreyas kissed the top of her head, feeling a little more at ease.

Elsewhere...

Arshita and Shubman had taken a detour, walking around the garden of the venue. The fairy lights strung around the trees cast a soft glow on their faces.

"You know," Arshita started, looking up at the night sky, "weddings always make me emotional."

Shubman smirked. "Why? Planning your own wedding already?"

Arshita nudged him playfully. "No, dummy. I just think they're special."

Shubman nodded. "They are. A promise, a new beginning."

Arshita glanced at him, her heart skipping a beat at how genuine he sounded.

"You're a romantic, aren't you?" she teased.

Shubman grinned. "Maybe."

She smiled, feeling warmth spread through her chest. "Good. I like that."

They continued walking in comfortable silence, neither of them in a hurry to go back inside.
