"Let me show!" Saying that Seema was about to take out her mobile and Chaitra was looking at her like she would kill her now! My angry kitten looks so cute! 

"Seema, do you want to die in your sister's reception?" Chaitra asked in a low but warning tone. I can feel anger rising in her eyes. 

Seema stuck out her tongue at her and opened her mobile.

"You..." Chaitra was about to take her mobile but I was faster to grab it.

"Sir, please return it!" She said getting riled up. God! I love riling her up! She looks so cute. 

"Let us see Chaitra!" I said raising the mobile up. She tried to snatch it. But I moved it further up. She jumped a few times but I again moved it further up and she huffed unable to catch it.

"Yes di/Chaitra/Chaithu!" Everyone joined.

"Fine!" She raised her hands in surrender with a pout. Damn! I want to kiss that pout! Control!

I gave the mobile back to Seema who opened the pic for us.

She was really looking like a princess! Scratch it she was looking angelic. The happiness is evident in her eyes. Even though she is not facing the camera her charm is enough to make it the best click. She is not wearing heavy makeup but manages to look out of the world.

"You were really looking so pretty di!" Aakansha exclaimed to which everyone nodded in agreement.

I was so lost in seeing the pic that I didn't notice the people smiling like fools around me.

Soon Chaitra snatched the phone away from me making me look at her. I won't complain though! No one wants to show their photos to people whom she met a few times. 

"Let's go have dinner shall we?" She asked sending a murderous glare toward Seema to which she smiled sheepishly.

"Sir did you all have your dinner?" Seema asked me. This girl is helping me a lot without her knowledge. 

"Not yet!" I replied looking at Chaitra for her reaction. She is looking nervous.

"Join us?" Seema asked which made Chaitra growl audibly. 

"Sure!" I replied and we all went to the dining area with Chaitra walking beside me and all the others a little far.

"Do you feel uncomfortable around me?" I asked her not looking at her.

"No! What made you think so?" She replied and even she didn't turn toward me.

"I just thought so! You were angry back there!" I said. She looked at me for a good few seconds and spoke.

"That was just... embarrassing?" She said but it sounded more like a question than a statement.

"So, I don't make you feel uncomfortable?" I asked with a glint of happiness in my tone.

"No! You make me feel many things but uncomfortable!" She muttered the second part but I managed to hear it.

I am literally dancing in my head. She does not feel uncomfortable around me! Yayy!

If someone says to people in my office that their boss is trying so hard to gain a girl's attention no one would believe it. For them, I am a cold, arrogant, and merciless machine who orders them around but also fulfills their needs.

What are you doing to me Chaitra?

We had our dinner and it was time for desserts. A waiter served gazar ka halwa(carrot pudding) to all of us but Ras malai and phirni to Chaitra. Her eyes lit up seeing them.

"Sir ordered us to serve this to you, ma'am!" He said bowing to which she gave a bright smile and he left.

"Again Chaithu?" Mayank asked giving her a 'you are impossible' look.

"Of course! I love sweets! And today I was craving for these so I just said this to annayya when he called!" She replied.

"God! He pampers you a lot! Where can I get a brother like him?" Seema asked dramatically.

"You can't. My brother is a single piece and I am not going to share him!" She said sticking out her tongue and taking a spoon of ras malai.

"Yum!" She exclaimed as soon as she tasted it.

"God, girl! You are this possessive about your brother! I can't imagine your possessiveness towards your husband!" Karthik asked and this remark gained my attention a lot more than previous ones.

"If I love him then I would obviously be possessive over him," she replied. 

"Will you keep tabs on him or what?" Seema asked again.

" No! Why would I do that? I will always respect his privacy! What I meant is I would never allow any girl near him who has bad intentions towards him to come near to him!" She defended herself.

"So, you don't mind him having a girl as a friend?" Mayank asked.

"No! When I have you guys as friends then why would I expect him not to have girls as friends?" Came her reply.

Her phone went off right after her reply.

"I love you annayya!" She said soon after answering the call and walked away.

God! This girl is driving me crazy with her mere presence! I am not complaining though. Not even a bit.

She came back after a few minutes with her evergreen dazzling smile.

"What did bhai say?" Seema asked as soon as she came back.

"He just called to check up on me. He is having a meeting in Jodhpur in a week. He wants to visit me!" She said chirping.

"He visits you every two weeks! It's like every time he comes to north India he will make sure to visit you!" Mayank exclaimed.

"Of course! I wouldn't have even joined this college if my father had not forced me to. Me and Annayya were always together and we will always be!" She replied smiling.

I should thank her father for getting her joined here.

After dinner, we all left for our rooms as they were in the same hotel. Chaitra and Seema went back to Seema's home leaving the newlyweds here in their suite.

Around 12 am I got a call from Abhishek. He is supposed to be in the beside room. Why is he calling me?

I picked up the call nevertheless.

"Bhai!" He screamed as soon as I picked up the call.

"What happened Abhi?" I asked getting up from my bed and walking towards the door.

"Bhai Chaitra...Chaitra!" He said stuttering. My heart is beating frantically inside my chest thinking of the worst.

I just hope she's fine.

"What happened to her?" I asked turning my door knob and walking out.

"She's crying bhai. I don't know why but she got a call while I was driving them home and she started crying. We are trying to speak to her but she isn't responding to any of our questions. She is weeping badly." He informed me and my heart sank thinking of tears in her eyes.

"Send me your location!" I demanded and started driving off. 

I am coming, Chaitra!

I drove to them. The car is parked on the roadside. Abir is standing out while Seema is trying to make Chaitra speak but she just sits there numb.

I walked towards them and took her hand in mine and gently made her get out of the car. I walked away from there holding her hand.

She followed me silently without uttering a single word.
