•Mehra House•

"Mumma , Bhabhi  let's go now. It's 4 already, we are supposed to be there by 3:30." , Ishika called harshita and Pooja for nth time now for their shopping spree with Rathores.

"Haa baba aa rhe h bss 5 min aaur ruk." , Harshita shouted from her room on behalf of both her and Pooja.

"5 min krte krte aadha ghanta ho gya yarr kb aayenge ye log. Finally

", Ishika mumbled to herself and took a sigh of relief when she saw them coming from their room.

"Why are you sitting there? Let's go now.", Harshita said and start walking towards the main door leaving behind  Pooja and Ishika.

"Wait till you get married. After marriage you'll also take time to get ready, especially when you get ready for your husband." , Pooja whispered in her ears when she saw Ishika shaking head at her mother antics.

"Bhabhi yarr kuch bhi. Aisa nhi hota." , Ishika shrieked in low tone. This statement made Pooja chuckle and she replied..

"Hota h hota h. You'll see after your marriage."

Ishika passed her a horrified look when Pooja winked at her. She fasten her speed towards their garage followed by a amused Pooja.

Ishika unlocked the black range rover and made herself seated on the driver seat. Her eyes widened when she saw both mother- daughter duo was about to sit backside. And she screamed startling them, "Oh hello mother-daughter duo, I ain't you driver, One of you sit here." , Pointing towards the front passenger seat.

Her mother looked at for few good second before saying, "No."

"No? Okay then my pyari Bhabhi will sit here. Won't you bhabhi." , She said very cutely and giving her a cheeky smile but Pooja knew better, this smile of her clearly means 'Sit here bhabhi unless you want me to reveal your secret crushes to bhai.'

And at last she took the front passenger seat while her mother looked at her like she betrayed her to which pooja just passed an innocent look to her and glare at Ishika who just laugh in response and started the car.

"I'll see Ishu, teri hnsi kaise nikalti h when I inform Yash about your late night icecream parties with avu." , She sweetly whispered and Ishika replied while taking the car out , "No way bhabhi. Don't you dare or I'll tell bhai about the proposal you get 3 days ago."

"Okay. Then I'll tell your little fantasies to your would be husband." , Pooja whispered back.

"Okay shut up both of you. Ishu focus on driving and tell me where are we going first.", Harshita said gaining both of their attention.

"Saloni maa had given me the address of their personal designer. So we are going there first. Then we'll see." , Ishika muttered and she swiftly took a right turn.

"How much time it will take?" , Her mother asked her..

"Probably 15-20 minutes if there's no traffic otherwise it can extend to half hour but not more than that."

"Hmm.."

After sometime they found themselves stuck in the traffic. 15 minutes rolled by but the road was still jammed. In mean time her phone vibrated. Ishika didn't noticed but the vibration grabbed the attention of Pooja. She took a look and passed Ishika an amused look when she saw the number saved as Abhi❤️.

She nudged Ishika and told her to take a look at the caller. As soon as Ishika attention goes towards the name , it didn't take her long to pick it up. She said a small "Hello" , leaning against the seat. Her manicured nails were lowly tapping at the steering casually easing her little nervousness.

"Hello love. Where are you till now. I am getting irritated at this place with my that so called family." , Abhiraj frustratingly said her not bothering to hide the fact he is bothered by his family.

"Abhi.", Her voice was a little weary making Abhiraj posture stern on the other side, "I am sorry but I don't think I will made before 5." , Ishika whispered sadly.

"What happened? Is everything okay? Wait I am coming to you." , The urgency and concern in his voice didn't go unnoticed by her and all she does is smile and said back,

"Abhi calm down. Nothing major problem but this M.I. road is completely blocked. I guess some political rally is going on."

"Hold on for a minute love."

Abhiraj put her call on hold before calling Shivaay who didn't take a second long to answer the phone.

'I want M.I. road clear within  two minutes.' , After ordering him, Abhiraj didn't wait for his reply and hang up the phone.

And as per his orders, it didn't take long to road to get clear and Ishika's car took its pace while Abhiraj was still on call.

"Love, I'll talk to you later. Come fast, i am waiting."

"Yup, see you within 10 minutes" and saying this she disconnect the call.

After 10 minutes, the car was stopped infront of an luxurious looking building. She was about to park the car when a guard knocked on her window gaining her attention. She slided down the window and her eyes falled on the royal brooch on his attire.

"Yes?", Ishika questioned the guard infront of her who replied back, "Sorry for the inconvenience ma'am but you are required to fill up your information for the security purposes."

Ishika just nodded at him and unfasten her seatbelt. "Bhabhi, mumma you go inside. I'll come right after filling the details and parking the car."

"Haan dhyan se aa jana beta.", Her mother said back while getting outside of the car.

(Okay and be careful)

Ishika also get off the car and immediately filled the details in the tablet carried by the guard. She passed the tablet back to the guard with a sweet smile and get back in the car to park it.

Meanwhile the guard returned back to his position and passed that tablet to the head guard whose eyes bulged out of his socket on seeing the name on the list. He didn't take any time and pressed a call to Abhiraj who was sitting in a VIP lounge informing about the queen's arrival.

The usual cold expressions on Abhiraj's face was replaced by an unnoticeable smile. He put back his phone in his pocket before making his way towards his queen. He was about to take lift but seeing it was engaged, he didn't wait further and move downstairs from stairs.

The people on the ground floor stiffened seeing him descending down , the senior manager who was on the round immediately rushed down to him making him annoyed.

Dang it!

The manager was about to say something but Abhiraj simply ignored him and crossed him without caring about his words.

Few minutes later Abhiraj stepped inside the 2nd floor with Ishika on his right side. Only limited number of people were present on the floor including staff members.

Nitya Kapoor who was one of the best designer and the personal designer of Rathore ladies politely excused herself from Rathore ladies along with Isha's mother and bhabhi and walk towards the couple who just entered.

She politely greeted Ishika addressing her as Rani sa and bowed down making her awkward.

"Umm.. Namaste and please this isn't necessary. Also call me Ishika that would be better."

Her statement gave shock to Nitya as she didn't think that the to be queen of the largest Empire existing on Earth will be this down to earth. Before she can further say something, Abhiraj stern voice cut her off,

"It will be good for her if she address you as Rani sa. And yeah I think you've already met her family. So first finalise maa and bhabhi dresses, we'll choose later."

Nitya nodded her head in return and move back to the ladies.

Saloni who was witnessing this scene had tears in her eyes, listening his son calling someone else 'Maa'.

' If only I hadn't done that , he would be calling me maa.' , she thought and wiped her tears when she saw Nitya approaching her.

On the other side , AbhIka stepped inside the VIP room, Abhiraj tackled her into the hug and buried his head in the crook of her neck, whereas Ishika fingers were caressing his hairs and she said, "You didn't let me meet my in-laws Abhi."

"Here I am waiting for you and you want to meet your in-laws. Moreover You are late my love.", He whispered start pestering soft kisses on her neck. Ishika tilted her neck giving him the full access and breathed out ,

"I am sorry."

"Sorry not accepted! But Punishment will work" , He replied back and sweetly bite her neck, to which she winces a little but soon the pain soothens when Abhiraj let his tongue linger over that spot.

"P-punishment. What punishment??" , She nervously asked her lifting his head a bit.

"How about A kiss here." , He pointed towards his lips and she muttered, "Shameless" while blush covered her cheeks properly.

"Only for you Love. Only for you."

Saying this he leans in, so carefully. So slowly, they can hear their heartbeats in that silent room. He is so close, she was feeling all tingly on her body , her legs were going jelly. If not for his hand on her back supporting her, she'll be on floor. Their lips were touching each other when he whispered, "You make me feel things.. I never felt. What are you doing to me love."

Saying this he connect his lips with her soft lips. His hands tightened around her waist and ran up her back, pressing her harder against his chest while her hands were tucking his hair softly. A soft moan left her mouth when he bit her lips , and  swiftly his tongue explored her mouth.

After good minutes of sucking the breath out of each other, giving her a forehead kiss, he rested his head on hers and mumbled in his husky voice , " You've become my addiction love."

She had completely turned crimson and buried her face inside his chest whereas Abhiraj tightened his hold on her covering her 5'6 frame.

"You smell so good Abhi.", She muttered gaining a chuckle from him.

"Oh yeah?"

"Hmm..", she let herself loose in his arms and absorbing the moment.

"You can hug me all you want love but we have to get our dresses. Now if her highness don't mind , Let's get her some dresses. Shall we.", Abhiraj said softly, caressing her hairs with his hands.

She nodded at him and fixed him and herself before going out from that room. They came outside only to see their family was bickering on some lame topics. But there bickering halt when both of them come out.

"Ishika beta, tell her how do you want your dresses to be , we are on the 3rd floor to decide the dresses for kids." , Saying this Saloni left the area with Rathores and Mehra except Jay and Sanaya.

"Bhabhi maa hello. We didn't get time to talk to each other." , Jay muttered, his voice clearly gives away the fact that Abhiraj always take her away with him.

"Hello Jay and Sanaya. How are you guys? We'll I am sorry for that but you can talk to me whenever and whatever you want. I hope you have my phone number.", Hearing Ishika's statement Abhiraj's mood turn sour.

Why are these morons behind my love?

"Yup bhabhi maa. We're fine. And now I see you I am more than fine.", Jay winked at her and immediately got pinned by Abhiraj's icy glare.

Abhiraj was about to say something when his phone rang, he looked at the name and a dark expression covered his face.

"You take a look with these morons. I'll come after few minutes.", Abhiraj whispered in her ears and placed a kiss on her earlobe before going on other opposite direction leaving her with two morons who were giving her teasing glances.

"Oye hoye bhabhi maa. Kissy kissy.. Pta nhi meri Vali kb aayegi.." , Jay said dramatically putting his hands on his heart. Ishika tried to conceal the blush trying to cover her cheeks and move forward ignoring them.

Few minutes later, Abhiraj came back only to see those two were trailing behind her like puppies sharing something with her. And she was also paying attention to her.

She is mine, so her attention must be on me only.

He get irritated so he came to them and abruptly said making all of them flinch, "You both Out.Now."

They whined but didn't want to face his wrath , so they silently bid bye to her and left. Ishika turned towards him and asked while glaring at him ," What's with that behaviour Abhi." , But in response he just shrugged.

"We'll talk about that later.", she whispered when she saw Nitya coming out with few outfits.

Ishika face instantly changed into frown when she saw so many extra vibrant dresses. And Abhiraj easily understood the dislike swirling in her eyes.

"Leave that and Show us the latest royal collection.", His words were straight forward and rough which Nitya instantly followed.

Straight four hours passed, and they were still shopping, the only difference was first they were searching for female outfits now for the male of their houses. And Abhiraj was trying the clothes Ishika was selecting for him.

"Try this Abhi." , She said while passing him a black traditional outfit but instead of holding the outfit , his hands find her and he pulled her closer leaving no space in between.

He then tucked a strand behind her ears and mumbled huskily, "Did i tell you. You are looking so heavenly."

"Yes you told me quite a few times and the only reply from my side is Thank you but I am just wearing a jeans and top "

.... Their Outfit...

"

You'll look supernal in everything or nothing." , He thought last sentence in his mind but shook his head instantly realising what he was thinking and his conscience mocked him saying

' You are getting shameful Abhi.'

'Dont you dare to call me Abhi, only my queen gets to call me that."

"You are hopeless in love." , His conscience shameful shook his head.

"Come out from your dreamland Mr. And change into the kurta.", Ishika dramatically waved her hands infront of him.

"Now go..", She pushed him back in the changing room and sat on the sofa like a queen sipping the lemonade which Abhiraj ordered for her.

A few seconds later, Abhiraj came out while adjusting his hairs which were now completely messy. Ishika's eyes shamelessly roam on his body fuelling his manly ego.

Folded sleeves check

Veiny hands check

Messy hairs check

Damn I wonder how many abs he have? And his hands on my-

Shit shit shit what the hell I am thinking about... snap out of it

Ishika gulped down the saliva and looked at him with admiration in her eyes and said, "You are looking good."

Abhiraj walked towards her and said, "Only good?"

No. You are looking like a walking Adonis, so handsome so elegant just looking like a wowwww..

She leaned back on the sofa and nervously said, "No-No I means handsome."

Abhiraj just smirked at her reaction and said, "Okay. Lemme change and yeah you can leave that straw now, lemonade is finished."

Khwaab hai tu, neend hoon main

Dono mile raat bane..

Roz yehi maangu dua

Teri meri baat bane.. baat bane..

Main rang sharbaton ka

Tu meethe ghaat ka paani

Main rang sharbaton ka

Tu meethe ghaat ka paani

Mujhe khud mein ghol de to..
