9. His touch

As he gathered his composure, he reached into his pocket, his fingers brushing against the smooth surface of the velvet box. Slowly, he approached her, his steps deliberate yet filled with a sense of urgency.

"I've brought something for you." he said, his voice was somewhat firm yet tinged with a hint of warmth.

As she turned around and saw him standing there, a rush of emotions flooded her senses. His presence seemed to fill the room with an electrifying energy, sending shivers down her spine.

He stood before her, his gaze unwavering as he held out a small velvet box.

"Par...." She was cut off by him

"Please". He offered her the box

Her heart raced as she hesitantly took the box from him, her fingers trembling slightly as she opened it. Inside lay a dazzling diamond necklace, its sparkle mesmerizing in the dim light of the room.

"Nii..ni.. ye to.." she began, her eyes widened in shock, her voice faltering as she struggled to find the right words. The sight of the necklace left her speechless, her mind reeling with a whirlwind of emotions.

With a gentle yet firm hand, Aaryansh reached out to take the necklace from her, his touch sending a jolt of electricity coursing through her veins. She felt a shiver run down her spine as his fingers brushed against hers, a sensation unlike anything she had ever felt before.

He looked into her eyes with a question in his gaze, "May I?" he asked, his voice soft yet filled with a quiet intensity.

She hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest as she met his gaze. With a hesitant nod, she gave him permission to proceed.

As he stepped closer, she felt a tremor run through her body, a sensation unlike anything she had ever experienced before.

Gently, he reached out and brushed her hair aside. His proximity was intoxicating, his touch sending a shiver down her spine.

His fingers were warm against her skin, his touch both tender and possessive as he moved her hair to the side.

With careful precision, he fastened the necklace around her neck, his movements deliberate and sure. As he stepped back to admire his handiwork, she couldn't help but feel a sense of vulnerability wash over her.

Standing before him, her heart felt like it was on the verge of bursting. His closeness, his touch, it all felt so overwhelming yet so right.

As he secured the clasp, he felt a surge of warmth spread through him, a sense of connection that transcended words.

In that moment, he had given her more than just a piece of jewelry – he had given her a piece of his heart.

With the necklace in place, he stepped back, admiring the way it adorned her neck.

When he stepped back, leaving her to admire the necklace in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing wash over her. It was a feeling she couldn't quite put into words, a yearning for something more, something she knew she shouldn't want but couldn't resist.

As their eyes met in the reflection of the mirror, she saw a flicker of something in his gaze – a desire that mirrored her own.

In that moment, little did she know that she was falling for him, falling harder than she ever thought possible.

"I hope you will like it." he said, his voice steady as he looked at her with anticipation.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking, her words coming out in a soft whisper. "Thank you.. it's..." Before she could finish her sentence, he placed a finger on her lips, silencing her.

"Sshh" , With a gentle yet firm gaze, he looked into her eyes and asked,

"Shall we?" there was an undeniable intensity in his voice.

But before anything else could happen, the door burst open, and his siblings entered the room, breaking their oh-so-romantic conversation.

"Bhai, bhabhiii... oops" Riya exclaimed, taking in the scene with a mischievous grin.

"Looks like we arrived at the wrong time..." Advay teased, a playful twinkle in his eyes.

Aaryansh stepped back , letting out a sigh

"Bhabhi, you're looking like a vision straight out of a fairytale!" Advay exclaimed after seeing her

"Absolutely ! You're looking so beautiful bhabhi, oh wait... let me ward off any evil eye" Riya said playfully as she pretended to dab some kohl below Meera's ears.

"Thank u..." Meera said with a smile

"If you're both done now, then can we go?" Aaryansh interjected

"Oh, haan ji, why not?" Advay chimed in with a playful smile, while Riya nodded in agreement.

He then extended his hand towards her, a silent invitation for her to join him. Her heart fluttered with nervous anticipation as she hesitantly reached out and placed her hand in his.

As they settled into the plush leather seats of his sleek Bentley, silence enveloped them , and he wanted to break the silence, meanwhile, she was in her own thoughts, nervous about the upcoming party, her anxiety palpable in the way she fidgeted with her hands

He seemed to understand her nervousness.

"There will be a lot of people at the party, and I understand if you're feeling a bit apprehensive." he began, "But I'll be right there beside you the whole time. You don't have to worry about a thing."

She looked at him, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes as she processed his words. "And if at any point you feel uncomfortable or want to leave, just let me know. We can make our excuses and head out early" he added.

"Thank u..." she said softly, struggling to find the right words to express her gratitude for his thoughtfulness.
