Chapter 34 - Eager to meet them?

"Vanshu...Vanshu" calling his name at the top of her tone, Shanaya in her white track pants and red t-shirt, with Ipad in her right hand, run toward the Vansh clad in his white trousers and red t-shirt, busy on the phone and descending the stairs.

Looking back at the rushing Shanaya, Vansh said the person on the other line to wait for a minute and spoke up, when he saw her closer" Hey, calm up. No need for rushing. We all know how clumsy you are."

Narrowing her eyes on his insult, She spoke in a rush" Where is your brother?"

"How would I know where my brother is? I hardly saw him since morning."



"Vanshu, at least give me a hint! I have an important matter to discuss with him." .

"Baby, I really do not know about his whereabouts. But, you can check him on the main gate."

Vansh was about to resume his talks on the phone when he gave a final look to her and said while pinching her" Same pinch! We are wearing the same colours" and fled down before Shanaya could pinch him back.

Standing at the top of the stairs, Shanaya with tensed face, scanned the area when she saw a full black dominating figure entering the hall of the Mansion. She need not guess the person and, she descends the stairs with full force and, within minutes, she was standing in front of Vihaan.

Looking at the breathless Shanaya with nose and forehead scrunched up, Vihaan gave her the chance to calm down and waited for her to say something.

"We have an issue" taking no more than a second, Shanaya tells him the reason of her unexpected meetup.

"What?" asking for the details, Vihaan enter the gate and moved toward the wooden ladder kept in the hall to sit at one of the rungs of it.

He was following the preparations for the Ring ceremony to be held the next day since morning and the tiredness could be easily seen in his face.

Understanding his situation without being explained, Shanaya followed him and spoke when she saw him fully ready" You told me to prepare the seating arrangement for 200 guests, but, the hall of the Mansion can only accommodate around 180."

Shanaya was amazed at the calmness with which she saw him speaking"Do not worry. Not everyone attends."

Vihaan saw the confusion spreading on Shanaya's face and, he spoke further to clear her doubts" Trust me, not everyone is capable of attending all the events. On average, one out of five always gets busy in some other work."

"Oh! ofcourse" understanding it without any issue, Shanaya looked at him in hidden amazement and, she could see why he was the unfamous Vihaan Singh Rathore.

"Any other issues?"

Nodding her head, she spoke when she saw him expecting the verbal reply"Nopes. My team has done everything as smoothly they could."

Shanaya had asked her teammates from Hyderabad to come to Delhi for Avni's wedding and had introduced them to Vihaan three days earlier. Her team had organised a few events, earlier, but, organising the event of Rathore's was definitely a big deal.

"What about the guest list?" with eyes shut and sleepy voice, Vihaan enquired.

"It has been prepared. You just need to tell me who will be on the entrance to welcome them. Vanshu was telling me he can if you want."

Opening his eyes and looking at her speaking, Vihaan did not utter a word to stop her. Her voice was soothing to his ears and, he spoke when she finished"It would be better if I welcome them" and signalled her to handle him the list.

Handling him the Ipad on which she has created the list, she looked up at one of the members of her team in the corridor of the first floor showing him the bottle of water when she heard him"Shanaya Mam, you want water?"

"Yes, throw it" and get ready to catch the bottle like a wicketkeeper in the cricket team.

"Got it", she smiled and winked at her member when the bottle landed safely in her hands.

She had taken a single sip when she heard Vihaan" I do not see your sėx buddies name here" and the water erupts out from her mouth.

Coughing hard, meanwhile looking at Vihaan in an unbelievable face, She took a minute to herself to be okay and spoke up the moment her cough stop" Excuse me!"

"Excused!"

"What you mean by 'my sėx buddies'?" shock and accusation evident on her face, she asked angrily.

"Oh, they were your boyfriends!" faking the astonished expressions, Vihaan stood up and came closer to her.

Not understanding a single word he was uttering, Shanaya looked at him and asked:" What exactly you are talking about?"



Closing the distance between them, he leaned forward and spoke in a voice only audible to them" Remember the time you said 'Sex is not just sėx'."

Shanaya nodded her head when she remembered the time she had visited his room for the first time to discuss Avni's birthday. And, the discussion had turned out from birthday to sėx, just because of her opinion on hearing her favourite RJ's show, even though her cheeks were turning red just at the mention of 'Sex'.

But, exactly not following him, and she asked further"So? How does these two are relatable?"

It was evident Vihaan was enjoying the show. He could see how Shanaya's cheeks had turned red at the mention of sėx, and he thought of enjoying it a little longer.

"What two?"

Closing her eyes in frustration, Shanaya spoke with a clenched jaw and fisted hands" You know!"

"No, I do not. I did not understand your question, Miss Shanaya." laughing inwardly at her inability to speak 'sex' in front of him he was enjoying it too much.

"How does 'sex is not just sėx' and 'my sėx buddies' are relatable?" not looking at him, with her neck and face full of redness, Shanaya blabbered it all in one go and took a breath once she finished it.

"Oh, that! It's obvious Miss Shanaya. If you said 'sex is not just sėx' it means you have it with your boyfriend for whom you had" stopping for a moment, he locked his eyes with her and spoke in a very casual "or have feelings".

Having no clue or idea what it was all about or why he was even asking, she replied to him with the best thing her sarcastic mind could say" Oh! I never knew you were eager to meet them!" emphasising on 'them'.

It took a minute for Vihaan to digest the new information and he tried his best not to show anything. His heart knew the thought of Shanaya with someone else was affecting him, but his mind did not even let the same thought strike him.

Snatching the water bottle from Shanaya's hand with anger, he gulped down the content of it in one go and replied with bitterness" Now you know I am waiting" and continued with the same bitterness spread in his face, his face just an inch away from Shanaya" So, when will I get to meet 'them'".

Noticing his emphasis on 'them', one part of Shanaya's heart wanted to correct him, wanted to tell him there was not a single one in her life with whom she has been intimated, but her mind argued "What's the need? He is not your lover or someone important in your life. Why do you care what he thinks about you?" and, ignoring the soft part of her heart, she stated simply" I have invited them in the wedding."

She could swear on Saar, she, saw the traces of anger and hatred on Vihaan's face, but, before she could confirm, she saw him retreating and moving far away from her.
