Chapter-32

Shraddha Kumar Malhotra

Today was a normal routine day. I was missing Aaron in the office as well at home. It was one hell boring day. I left the office at lunchtime and went to a cafe. I met Divi. We both went to our studio. Made some music. We had our bestie time. While returning home I went to our Karate classes. I met all the students. My whole day went in a jiffy. 

After returning home, I freshen up myself. I heard a knock so I opened the door. There stood my Sister in law- Shreya.

"Hi, come inside." I invited her.

“Hello, my darling sister in law Missing my Brother?" She asked me.
I didn't reply but looked away from her.

"Why did you knock on the door?" I asked her, a diverting topic.

"Oh that I'm practising because I don't want to see your romance by my virgin eyes and don't divert topic sister in law" she said mischievously. 

"You naughty girl," I said pulling her ears making her hiss in pain.

"Shreya, is it ok if I call you Shree?" I asked her.

I always wanted to call her a Shree but then I was not sure whether she would like it or not so thought of asking her.

"Wow Sister in Law no one ever gave me such a nickname. I would love it if you called me Shree," she said excitingly.

"Thank you, by the way, what brings you here today?” I asked her.

"Sister in law let's go to the club. It has been so many months I haven't visited any club." She said in excitement at the beginning but became sad at the end.

"Ok But what about mom-dad?" I asked her.

"Well……. I took their permission. They are ok with us going but we have to take a driver with us. Mom said to be careful of jerks." She said.

"Ok, give me 15 minutes, I'll get ready. I'll also ask Divi to come with us. You inform Riya about it." I said.

"Ok But be fast sister in law, we have to avoid Brother's informers otherwise we will not get to enjoy it." She said.

"Ok," I replied with a chuckle.

I created a group with Shree, Divi and Riya. I messaged in the group about our plan. I received affirmative responses from all three.

After that, I went to my wardrobe and selected a knee-length dress. I changed to my outfit and started doing my makeup. I used kohl and eyeliner for my eyes. It brings out my eyes. I used red lipstick for my lips. I wore a watch in my left hand and the chain is given by Aaron. I never removed this chain. I completed the look with my peep toes heels. 

I checked the time. I was ready in fifteen minutes. I switched off the lights and kept a small lamp on. I went downstairs to see my both sisters-in-law were looking hot in their dresses. I whistled looking at them. 

"Looking so hot girls," I said.

They laughed at hearing from me. We three left for the club. Divi was going to meet us there directly. We reached and went inside from the VIP entrance where no media is allowed. 

As we settled ourselves in the corner of the bar station. Shreya went and bought us drinks. Divi also came by now. We all started having our drinks. I already told Shreya to bring Cocktails for us. 

It's not like I haven't drunk alcohol. I and Divi secretly had alcohol in our studio. It was our first time tasting alcohol. We store drinks in our studio. I don't drink regularly.

I'm a light-headed drinker. I had alcoholic drinks 4-5 times only. 
We all started having our mocktails. We all were discussing our life, issues etc. Divi went to order the next batch of our drinks. We had those drinks. When I sipped it I felt a strong bitter taste in my mouth but I ignored it thinking it to be something else.

After the drink, we all went to the dance floor. We all were dancing making our small group. We were enjoying ourselves. Suddenly I saw that my two brothers which are Ishaan bro, Rajeev Bro stood behind Divi and Riya. I laughed looking at their angry faces. 

I was going to move forward to tell them but before I could move, someone sneaked their hand to my waist and pulled me backwards. I became numb, feeling a familiar touch on my skin. My back and his front were plastered together. 

I turned to look at his handsome face. There was my husband standing with frowns on his face. I smiled thinking it is my illusion.  I felt heavy in my head. I was feeling dizzy so I clutched the jacket of Aaron and closed my eyes.



Aaron Malhotra

I reached Delhi at night so I went to my penthouse and relaxed. I was thinking about Shraddha. With her thoughts clouded in my mind, I slept.

In the morning, I visited our Delhi branch offices. I had a lunch meeting with Mr. Khurana which went well. We got the deal. I planned to leave early and surprise my wife. I packed my bag. John had brought the Jet in the evening. I was thinking of buying her something so I was going towards the shopping mall. 

I was in the car when I received a call from one of my informers whom I kept around my family. What he informed me made me so mad. I was angry. I told the driver to take me directly to the airport. I called Rajeev to inform him about my sister’s location but he didn't receive it. I reached the airport and went to my jet. I told John to start our journey back home immediately. 

In two hours I reached Mumbai airport. I told my staff to have a day off. Before leaving Delhi I informed my driver to bring my car to the airport. I took car keys from him and told him to go home. I started the car toward the club. I called Rajeev through Bluetooth hands-free calling. 

“Bro, do you know, where are your sister and girlfriend?” I asked him.

“Girlfriend?” He said.

“When did you get a girlfriend? You didn't tell me.” Ishaan said. These both are together. 

“I mean Riya and Shraddha,” I said.

“Where are they? Are they fine?” Rajeev asked in a panic.

“I’m sending you an address. Both of you Reach on that place soon.” I said and disconnected the call.

Soon I reached the club. I parked my car and went to another entrance. I went inside and started looking for Shraddha. I saw her on the dance floor. She was drunk and was dancing sexily. 

She was looking so hot in one piece. I saw that many guys were drooling on her sight. Looking at the scene my blood boiled. I so wanted to kill them for eyeing on my wife. I felt very possessive of Shraddha. 

‘Wifey, you are in very big trouble.’ I thought looking at her dancing moves.

I saw that my both sisters and Divya were also in western outfits and were dancing with Shraddha. I marched towards them. I called my trusted bodyguards. When I reached, I saw that my both best friends were standing behind Riya and Divya. They both were very angry and kept glaring to the guys who were gawking at both girls. 

I know about Rajeev-Riya but About Ishaan, I don't know. I think I have to talk with him. I saw Shraddha Search was going to move so I sneaked my hands through her waist and pulled her back to me. She froze for a moment in my embrace.

She turned her head towards me and looked at me. She smiled and fainted in my arms. I picked her up in bridal style and went to my car by using the backdoor. I don't want to be in the news so I wore a cap to disguise myself. I made her sit on the passenger seat. I fastened the seatbelt. I took my seat behind the steering wheel. I looked at her face. There was a small smile playing on her lips. 
I called and asked about Riya and Divya to my both best friends. I already told Vimal- My trusted security person to drop Shreya at home. I started the car towards home. After a few minutes, Shraddha stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes. She widened her eyes looking at me.

“Hey, you where are you taking me?” She asked.

“Somewhere,” I replied in one word as I was angry at her.

“You can't kidnap me. If my husband gets to know that you kidnapped me he will beat you. My three brothers will also beat you and will break your bones.” She said.

I think she is under the effect of alcohol. I’m enjoying this Shraddha very much. She tried to open the door but I locked it before only. She opened her seatbelt and turned towards me. She started pulling the sleeves of the jackets and murmuring.  .
“Open the door. I want to go to my home.” She murmured. 

I parked my car at the side of the road. I clutched her wrists in my hands. She tried her best to get out of my grip but I tightened my hold on her wrist. But what she did next was unexpected and it made me hiss in pain. She hit me with her head. The force was not much but it was painful. 

Even in a drunken state, she is so strong that she hit me. I was rubbing my shoulder where her head hit me. 

“What are you doing here?” I asked her angrily.

“Huh…. Why should I answer you?” she said in her swag.

“What the hell are you wearing this short dress? Do you know how guys were drooling over you?” I said gritting my teeth as I remembered their lustful stares on my wife. “Well it is in a short length so it's categorised as a short dress and it’s called LBD.,” she said.

“You know LBD……. Little Black Dress.” She continued.

“Why did you have drinks?” I asked my next question.

“Me and drinks…. No…. I just had mocktails brought by Shree and Divi.” she said in a cute tone.

“You know na that you can't handle alcohol so why drink it?” I asked.

“I didn't have any alcoholic drinks. I just had cocktails.” She replied stubbornly and glaring at me.

Who the hell gets drunk with mocktails? I feel like pulling my hair. She is making me crazy. She is so stubborn and crazy.

“You know when I had a second glass of mocktails, it tasted so bitter but after a moment I felt good. I loved it so I had two more glasses also.” She said, showing me three fingers stating she had two more glasses.

I think she had vodka cocktails. Who the hell drinks alcohol as mocktails? I have to find who gave her drinks but for now, I have to handle my crazy girl.

"Let's go," I said.

"No." she shouted.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you are a stranger and I don't want to come with you. What if you try to kidnap me? What if you touch me but then I will show you hell. I’m black belt champion in karate. So you better stay away from me." she replied with a frown.

Oh god, what should I do with this girl?

"Do you know Aaron Malhotra?" I asked her curiously.

"Yes I know him because he is my husband," she replied.

Thank God she remembered me as her husband.

"Yes I’m your husband," I replied.

"No, you are not my husband. He is more handsome than you. He is very hot and his looks are killer. He is not here. He went to Delhi for some office work. So you are not my husband." she said shaking her head in denial.

"Yes, I am your husband. I am here." I said, placing my hand on her cheek.

"No, you are not my husband. You know what he looks way better than you," she said dreamily making me feel proud of myself.

Oh ho she finds me hot.

That's news to me.

Wifey, you are not doing well. You are praising me in front of me. I want to hear this praise from you in your conscious mind.

“Ok, now we are going home,” I said.

“No... I’ll not come with you.” She said.

“If you don't listen to me then I will do something which you will not like doing here.” I threatened her.

“No, I won't allow you to touch me. I'll beat you if you touch me.” She blabbered.

I slammed my lips on her lips and shut her blabbering’s. She froze. I started kissing her slowly. I tasted her strawberry flavoured lips. She was in shock so she did not respond to the kiss. I sneaked my hands to her waist. I pinched her waist to break her trance.

She tried to push me but I tightened my hold on her hands and gently kissed her. She also started to kiss me back.  I loosened my hold on her unknowingly and cupped her cheek. After a minute or two she broke the kiss by pushing me away.

"How dare you kiss me? Who gave you right? You idiot. Only my husband has the right to kiss me, to love me. Not you jerk." she furiously.

"You are bad girl Shraddha. You enjoyed the kiss. You know so don’t deny it. I’m a better kisser than your husband that's why you kissed me back.” I said, smirking. 

"No, you are not a good kisser. My husband is a very good kisser and for god sake, you are not my husband. My husband is a very good person. I don't want to cheat on him so you better take your kiss back." she said with tears.

I felt sad looking at tears in her eyes. I’m sorry Shraddha, I never knew that you will feel like this.

"How can I take my kiss back?" I asked, not knowing what to do.

"Like this," she said and placed her lips on mine.

I was startled by her action. She kissed me but not with love. It was a return back kiss of mine. I'm happy because she kissed me but why did she kiss me? She could have slapped me.

‘She kissed you because she feels your touch and her heart knows that.’ my mind said.

She pushed me away after a minute.
"So it's over. You better don't come in my way. Stay away from me." she said and fainted again in my arms.

I made her seat properly and fastened the seatbelt. I started the car towards our home.

I don't know why I feel like this for you. My feelings towards you are very strong. Way stronger than my mysterious girl. I feel some sort of connection with you Shraddha... I never felt this for anyone, not even for Radha.

Whenever I try to imagine Radha, the face which comes in front of my eyes is yours. I don't even know why I imagine you as Radha. I don't understand this unknown feeling, unknown yet known connection with you. 

Is it love? I never fell in love and I thought Radha is my love but these feelings for you are more intense than with Radha. I don't like to share her with anyone. I can't bear the thoughts of her with any other male. 

I have to find that guy whom she said, I love you. Whenever I remember that scene playing in front of my eyes, I feel rage. I want to kill the head of that guy. Whenever she speaks to him, there is a smile on her face. Her carefree smile…. but I’m not the reason for her this smile makes me sad. 

Soon we reached home. I picked her up in bridal style and went to our bedroom. I placed her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. I kissed her forehead and dimmed the lights in the room. I freshened up myself and changed into Nightwear. I laid on the bed and pulled her in my arms. Soon sleep consumed me.
