It had been two days since she had said yes for the marriage. Vaibhav always had a silly smile on his face. He used to message, call and video call her at every excuse he got. The best one being Adi. And strangely Rashi has been receiving roses since two days. And when she asked him about it he had said 'That's a very good thing. Congratulations!'.
And yesterday Pranati had come to his cabin and literally threatened him saying that if he ever hurted Rashi or even thought about it then he would have to face her. He was very amused when he saw her threatening her boss but then thanked her for always being there for Rashi. She left but not before taking the promise from him and teasing him by calling him 'jiju'. And he returned her teasing by saying 'Sahil' in the same tone as hers. And she had ran away blushing.
Right now he was getting ready as the Bansals were coming to finalise the wedding dates. He heard a car being parked. He again took a quick glance at the mirror and moved his hand through his hair. After making sure that his appearance was okay he rushed outside. He took Rajesh and Shweta's blessing and greeted Sakshi. He then stood in front of Rashi and looked into her eyes with love. She was looking at him smiling.
"Hii."
He breathed.
"Hii."
She whispered shyly. She still couldn't understand why he had such an effect on her. The elders sat with the priest to discuss the dates and Bhavna took Rashi to show her around. Vaibhav followed them like a lost puppy. She finally took her to Vaibhav's room.
"Aur ye aapke hone wale patidev ka room. Mai jaati hu. Tum dono baat karo."
(And this is your would be husband's room. I am leaving. You guys talk.)
Bhavna said and left from there. Rashi was admiring the room. Vaibhav who was behind her the whole time now bend down to her level and said from behind.
"Kaisa laga room?"
(Did you like the room?)
She turned around to look at him. Her breath hitched at their proximity. Their faces were close. Very close. She could see every detail of his face. Meanwhile Vaibhav was observing her facial details. Her eyes, who could have known that black was such an interesting colour. Her sharp nose. Her soft, red cheeks. Her plump, pink lips. Oh how he wanted to-
'Control Vaibhav.' He scolded himself and gulped. He got back to his original height and muttered a sorry.
"Bahut achha hai."
(It's very nice)
She replied.
"Huh?"
"Room. Bahut achha hai."
(Room. It's very nice.)
"I am glad you liked it. Agar koi changes krwane ho toh let me know."
(I am glad you liked it. If you want any changes then let me know.)
"Umm. Bas ek cheez."
(Umm. Just one thing.?
"Kya?"
(What?)
"Ek book shelf add kr skte hai?"
(Can we add a bookshelf?)
"Ofcourse. Mujhe bta dena kaisa chahiye I'll arrange it. Aur kuch?"
(Ofcourse. Let me know how you want it I'll arrange it. Anything else?)
"Nhi aur kuch nhi. Thank you."
(No. Thank you.)
He took her hand and they went downstairs. Everyone was still discussing the dates. They asked them about their opinion and everyone settled on May 11 for the wedding and engagement a week prior to it. A round of congratulations followed. Vaibhav and Rashi looked at each other smiling.
They had their dinner and then the Bansals left to their home.
It was almost 12 and Vaibhav was laying on his bed when his phone rang. It was a call from Rashi.
"Hii. Kya hua? Sab thik hai na?"
(Hii. What happened? All okay?)
"Hii. Sab thik hai. Sorry itni raat ko call krne ke liye. Dhruv zid kr rha tha ki aapse baat kiye bina nhi soyega."
(Hii. All okay. Sorry for calling so late. Dhruv was being stubborn that he won't sleep without talking to you.)
He laughed and told her to pass the phone to him. He talked to Dhruv. Soon the boy slept and Vaibhav asked Rashi.
"Tum khush ho na?"
(You are happy right?)
"Bhut time baad genuinely khush hu. Thank you Vaibhav."
(After suh a long time i am genuinely happy. Thank you Vaibhav.)
They talked for some more time and then called it a night. Rashi was starting to trust him now. They slept with a content smile on their faces.
**************************************
Time flew by pretty quick. The next whole month went in shopping and all the other necessary arrangements. It was decided that the engagement would be done in a banquet hall and then after three days they would move to the wedding venue where all the other functions would be held.
Their engagement was after a week. The preparations were going on full swing. Pranati and her brother Utkarsh was staying in Bansal house and helping in the arrangements. Vaibhav's elder sister Aanchal had also arrived along with her husband and son. Both the houses were filled with energy and happiness.
Vaibhav and Rashi have grown more close to each other. Vaibhav was truly in love with her. He didn't know when it happened but he just fell in love. And Rashi had started to trust and like him. She was not sure about love.
Arjun had retired too giving the post of CEO to Devesh and making Vaibhav the COO. A new employee was hired in the place of the Chief Marketing Officer.
The surprising thing was that Adarsh and Sakshi had become very good friends.
It was night and like always they were talking to each other.
"Mere saath date par chalogi?"
(Will you go on a date with me?)
Vaibhav asked suddenly. Rashi was stunned for a moment.
"Kya!?"
(What!?)
"Will you go an a date with me? Kal?"
(Tomorrow?)
"Umm. Okay."
"Great toh shaam ko? Uncle se mai baat kar lunga."
(Great then in the evening? I will talk to uncle.)
"Nhi. Papa ko nhi. Ghar mai pata chala toh aane nhi denge. Milne tak thik hai par babaji ko date wagerah nhi pasand. Aap mujhe time bta dijiye mai aapko aapke office ke bahar milungi waha se chalenge?"
(No. Not papa. If anyone gets to know at home they won't let me come. Meeting is ok but grandpa doesn't like date and stuff. You tell me the time i will meet you outside office we will go from there.)
"Okk. Ghar mai kya bologi?"
(What will you say at home?)
"Keh dungi Pranati ke saath jaa rhi hu."
(I'll say i am going with Pranati.)
"Wo tumhare ghar hi reh rhi hai na. Toh pta nhi chal jaayega."
(She is staying at your house right. Won't they get to know.)
"Arre haan. Shit. Ab?"
(Oh yes. Shit. Now?)
"Hmm. Ek kaam krna usse saath le aana mai yaha se Sahil ko utha launga wo dono bhi enjoy kr lenge."
(Hmm. Do one thing bring her along i will bring Sahil along they will also enjoy.)
"Wo kya karegi Sahil ke saath?"
(What will she do with Sahil?)
Rashi laughed.
"Wo tum ussi se puchho."
(This you ask her only.)
Vaibhav replied chuckling. Rashi was confused for a moment but then gasped when she realised something.
"Don't tell me ki ye wo wala Sahil hai."
(Don't tell me he is that Sahil?)
"Wo wala Sahil?"
(That Sahil?)
Vaibhav asked confused.
"Hnn. Pralana wala Sahil. Long story baad mai bataungi. Chalo done ye final hai phir. Mujhe time bta dijiye bas."
(Yes. Pralana's Sahil. Long story I'll tell you later. Ok this is final then. Just tell me the time.)
"3 bje milte hai. Pahuchne mai time jaayega. Okk?"
(Let's meet at 3. It will take time to reach. Okk?)
"Okk. Done."
They talked for some time and then slept thinking about each other.
