Chapter 41 - He cares for me?

"Vanshu, Are you, going to the market?" with her teeth closed, Shanaya words come out as a hiss.

Looking at Vansh with puppy eyes and frowned expressions, Shanaya was looking cuter than a cute dog.

Not like they could be compared in any way.

Looking at her with his furrowed brows, Vansh took a second to speak" Yes, but why are you hissing?"

"I am not hissing" replying, she winced in pain and placed her hand gently on her right cheek. With her half-opened eyes, she looked at Vansh and spoke slowly" Wisdom teeth issue."

Opening her mouth a little, she fanned it with her hand and spoke when the pain reduced" I need cloves."

"Ohh! again? I can't believe it has been almost a decade since you started having these issues." taking advantage of her inability to speak, Vansh tried to make fun of her but stopped when saw her glaring daggers at him. .

"What? I am just saying." shrugging his shoulder, Vansh saw Shanyaa trying to intimidate her by glaring at him.

Not like it was going to happen.

"I know you well, so I exactly know what you meant by it." speaking with teeth closed, Shanaya voiced out which came out to be nothing more than a hiss.

"Oh yes, I wanted to ask you about the proposal. Have you thought about it?" changing the topic, Vansh asked him with seriousness in his voice.

Nodding her neck in a yes, she spoke slightly" hmm, I informed dad I would not be able to visit them this year. "

"He must be furious."

"Yup, very. But, I told him I am busy with my work, so, I guess he would understand it."

........................................

Sitting on the bed, Vihaan, wearing a blue tee and denim shorts and frames on his eyes was going through the mails when he got reminded by the reminder to inform Shanaya to order for the flowers, for decorations.

He very well knew those two days were going to pass in a blink with Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony to be due.

Vihaan stood up from his bed when his eyes fell on the file kept on the table and, he forwards his hand toward it.

Picking it up, he read the content of it and, a mysterious smile took place on his face.

Searching for Shanaya, he reached Avni's room and found her sitting with Avni. He saw Avni speaking to her, but to his utter surprise, Shanaya was silent and was just nodding her head, and knocked on the door to make them feel his presence.

He was going to remind Shanaya when he was stopped by the exclaiming Avni "Wow, you both are, matched today. You both are wearing White dresses".

Aware of this fact, Vihaan did not react knowingly and, look at Shanaya and saw her looking at herself and then at him as if to check Avni's statement.

Clearing his throat, he spoke when he saw Shanaya looking at him" You have to order for the flowers today, visit "Pink Petals Floral Design" and, order, anything that is best according to you.

Again, he saw her nodding and, the curiosity in him arose. Handling the file to her, he speaks in explanation after noticing her confused glances" This is the agreement between you and I. Sign it if you are ready to work with us."

"Okay" was all Shanaya could speak.

Vihaan was about to say more when he noticed the bandage on her right thumb and, his expression changed from normal to worried. He spoke with concern in his voice" What happened to you?" and regretted it immediately when he saw Shanaya looking at her with a different expression.

"Nothing, just hurt myself" speaking more than a word for the first time, Shanaya withdraw her eyes from him, her heart beating furiously on noticing his care for her.

"He cares for me" full of joy, her heart transfers it to the mind, but the mind cut it down, in the same manner, a blade cuts down the thread in a single attempt by speaking" He is simply asking you as a human. Do not think more of his actions." and all the joy vanished from her face.

...........................................................

Waking up in the morning, Shanaya opened her Instagram and checked the notification of the photo she had shared the day before.

Replying back to the comments and messages, she kept her phone down and glanced around the room to find her alone and wonder where Riya could go so early.

She immediately remembers Riya telling her in the night about her date with Zarun and, she cursed herself for waking up late and missing the golden opportunity to tease Riya.

Taking a quick shower, she reached in the almost fully decorated hall of the mansion and saw others taking their seats on the dining table.

Having a seat beside Vihaan was making her uncomfortable, but, she was glad to be seated on the right of Saaransh on the other hand.

In the matter of time, she had become comfortable with Saransh, in the same manner, she had been with Avni and Vansh.

Ignoring Vihaan's intoxicating and masculine smell, she tried to close her nose and sat down comfortably, but her heart starts racing when she saw Vihaan looking at her and, she could swear he smirked.

Distracting her from his thoughts, saying good morning to Senior Rathore's and others except for Vihaan, she was chatting with Saaransh when she came to know Avni too had gone out with Anubhav for some important occasion and, Keshav had gone with her.

She was glad to not to share the space with Keshav and was deep in her thoughts when she was informed along with Vansh, Saaransh and Vihaan by Senior Rathore of their planning to visit the temple to wish for Avni's wedding.

Hours passed and having no work to do she was sitting silently meanwhile Saaransh and Vansh were discussing when they were interrupted by Vihaan who yelled from his room " Vansh!!!!!".

Before the three could understand what had happened, they saw Vihaan coming into the hall, fuming with anger.
