Rudra and Aarohi were lost in each other. Aarohi lay on Rudra's chest while he gently rubbed her head with one hand and rested his other hand on her stomach. After a while, Aarohi said, "I'm hungry."
Rudra looked at her and said, "Aaruh, you are so damn hot. You're still hungry?"
Aarohi laughed, "How are those two things related?"
Rudra smirked, "Okay, let me feed you." He leaned in to kiss her, but Aarohi stopped him.
"You are surely something else. I thought you were such a straight, innocent boy. But now, don't you think about anything else except this? I'm really hungry. I need food, not you. Like now," she said, teasingly.
Rudra glanced at the clock. "It's 1 a.m."
"So what? You didn't let me eat when I was hungry, and now I want food," Aarohi insisted.
"Let me order something," Rudra suggested.
"It's 1 a.m. Who will deliver food at this time?" Aarohi countered. "Let me go and make something. What do you have?"
"No, no, you wait here. I'll go and make something for you," Rudra said, kissing her forehead before heading to the kitchen. Aarohi stayed behind, checking her phone.
Rudra rummaged through the kitchen, muttering to himself, "I don't have pasta. I don't have bread. Let me check if I still have some noodles." He found two packets of noodles and started preparing them, but accidentally dropped a pan, making a loud noise.
Aarohi put on Rudra's shirt and came out. "What happened?"
Rudra looked at her and said, "Nothing, I just dropped the pan."
"Oh, okay. So, what are you making?" she asked.
"Noodles," Rudra replied.
"Cool," Aarohi said, approaching him. "Don't you think it's too much water for them?"
"Is it? I'll remove some," Rudra said, trying to sound confident.
"Don't tell me you're making them for the first time," Aarohi said, realizing the truth.
Rudra just gave a mysterious smile.
Aarohi shook her head. "Rudra, you could have told me. I've made them before. Please don't ruin them."
"Don't worry. It's just noodles. I can make them," Rudra insisted.
"Then how do you eat every day?" Aarohi asked.
"You know that auntie you met the other day? She usually comes to prepare food, but when I left for the camp, I told her not to come. When I got back, I hadn't informed her yet," Rudra explained.
Rudra added the noodles and seasoning to the boiling water and switched on the stove. He looked at Aarohi and said, "You know what? You look so hot in my shirt."
"Really?" Aarohi asked, amused.
"Yeah, really," he said, moving closer, pulling her by the waist, and lifting her onto the kitchen table. He leaned in to kiss her again, but Aarohi put her fingers on his lips.
"No chance. Right now, I am hungry, and I just want to taste the noodles, nothing else," she said firmly.
Rudra pouted, "Ah, you are so greedy."
Aarohi laughed, "When it comes to food, I am."
The noodles were ready. Rudra served them in a bowl and handed it to Aarohi. Aarohi took the bowl and asked, "Do you have butter?"
"Let me check," Rudra said. He opened the fridge and found the butter. He handed it to Aarohi, who placed a dollop over her noodles. "Oregano?" she inquired.
"I don't think so," Rudra replied.
"It's okay," Aarohi said. She was about to take a bite but paused, joking, "If I die after eating this, don't you think you'll get rid of me? Because I'm going to haunt you as an evil ghost."
Rudra chuckled, "Yeah, then I'll be ready to be haunted by this beautiful, sexy, hot, evil ghost."
Ha ha .....very funny ....aarohi smirked.
Aarohi started eating while Rudra watched her intently. "It's good. It's really good," she said.
Rudra grinned, "I know. Whatever I do turns out the best."
Aarohi rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Keep praising yourself."
Rudra reached to take some noodles from her bowl, but Aarohi moved it aside, saying, "What are you doing?"
"Let me taste it. I haven't eaten anything either," Rudra said.
"You didn't eat because of me," Aarohi teased.
"At that time, I wanted something else, and now I want to eat this. Please, just a bite," Rudra pleaded.
Aarohi got up and moved away, "No, I'm not sharing it with you."
Rudra chased her around, "Please, just a bite."
"Nope," Aarohi insisted.
"Go and eat something else," she teased.
Rudra finally caught up with her, grabbed the bowl, and took a bite. Suddenly, he spit it out. "How are you eating this? It's too salty and not cooked properly."
Aarohi took the bowl back, "But it's cooked by you and it's for me. And I love it."
Rudra's eyes softened. He took the bowl back gently, "Stop it. You're not eating this anyway." He rummaged through the pantry and found some snacks like chips and biscuits. "Let's have these instead," he said, switching on the TV.
They sat on the sofa, snuggled up together, munching on snacks and watching a movie. The room was filled with a comfortable silence, broken only by their occasional laughter.
After they finished the snacks, Rudra turned to Aarohi, "Let's go get some sleep."
He picked her up in his arms, and Aarohi wrapped her arms around his neck. They made their way to the bedroom, where Rudra gently laid Aarohi on the bed. He climbed in beside her, holding her close as they drifted off to sleep, their hearts full and content.
â¨ï¸
The next day, Aarohi woke up and saw the time. It was already 9 a.m., an hour late for her classes. She shot up in bed and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I'm late!" She grabbed her clothes and dashed to the bathroom to get ready.
Rudra, still groggy, looked up and said, "What happened? Calm down."
But she didn't listen and hurried into the bathroom. When she emerged, Rudra was still lounging on the bed, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he watched her frantically adjust her hair in the mirror.
"Hey, beautiful," he called out, his voice soft and teasing. "Why the rush? Stay a little longer."
Aarohi shot him a quick glance, her heart racing both from the rush and his flirtatious tone. "Rudra, I'm already late. I don't have time for this," she said, though a small smile crept onto her lips despite herself.
Rudra got up and walked over to her, his eyes never leaving her face. "You know," he said, his voice low and enticing, "you look even more stunning when you're flustered."
Aarohi felt her cheeks flush as she tried to gather her things. "Stop it, Rudra. I really have to go," she insisted, trying to move past him.
But Rudra gently grabbed her wrist, pulling her close. She could feel his breath on her face as he leaned in. "You are already late , why dont you take a leave," he whispered, his lips hovering just above hers.
Aarohi's heart skipped a beat, but she tried to stay focused. "Rudra, I really can't-" she started, but he silenced her with a soft peck on her lips.
It was brief but filled with a sweet tenderness that made Aarohi momentarily forget her rush. When he pulled back, his eyes were twinkling with amusement. "There, now you can go," he said, releasing her.
Aarohi, slightly breathless, managed a smile. "You're impossible," she said, shaking her head.
Rudra grinned. "And you love it," he teased, watching as she finally headed out the door, her heart a little lighter and a smile lingering on her lips.
As Aarohi was about to leave the apartment, Rudra insisted, "Let me drop you at the hospital."
Aarohi shook her head. "I need to go to the hostel first to grab some books and change. I can't go in the same clothes as yesterday."
Rudra nodded. "Alright, I'll drop you at the hostel."
As they drove, Rudra couldn't help but flirt. He placed his hand on her thigh, squeezing gently. "You know, we could take a detour," he said with a smirk.
Aarohi brushed his hand away. "Rudra, please. I'm really late. Can you drive faster?"
He sighed dramatically but complied, speeding up a bit. "You're no fun ," he teased.
Aarohi just shook her head, trying to focus on the day ahead. "I have an important lecture today, Rudra. I can't afford to be late."
Rudra chuckled. "Alright, alright. I'll be a good boy."
When they reached the hostel, Aarohi hurriedly gathered her things to leave the car. But just as she was about to open the door, Rudra grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Wait,
What..
Nothing...
Aarohi smiled. I'll see you later."
He hugged her tightly, then reluctantly let her go. Aarohi got out of the car, feeling a rush of warmth from his affection. As she walked towards the hostel entrance!"
Aarohi turned back and gave him a quick wave and a smile before disappearing inside. Rudra watched her go, a smile playing on his lips as he drove off.
Inside the hostel, Aarohi quickly changed into fresh clothes and grabbed her books. Despite the rush, she couldn't stop thinking about Rudra and his playful, yet caring nature. His presence had a way of making her feel cherished, and it stayed with her as she hurried to her classes, ready to face the day with a smile.
â¨ï¸
When Aarohi reached the hospital, she was trying to hide herself so no one would notice she was late. She had missed her morning schedule of seeing patients before class. As she slipped into the classroom, she heard a voice, "Aarohi." She turned to see Jiya standing there.
"Oh Jiya, it's you, thank God," Aarohi sighed in relief.
Jiya raised an eyebrow. "You're late, Aarohi. What happened to you? I've never seen you come in late."
Aarohi bit her lip. "Yeah, I was just sleepy this morning. But what happened today? Did I miss anything important?"
Jiya shook her head with a knowing smile. "Don't worry, I checked your patients because I knew you weren't in your room. You were with him, weren't you? Cozy nights and all," she teased.
Aarohi blushed. "Shut up, Jiya. I'm already stressed about being late. Let's just get to class."
They hurried into their lecture, but the break couldn't come soon enough. As soon as it did, Jiya turned to Aarohi. "So, how is Rudra?"
Aarohi smiled softly. "He's fine. Actually, why don't we all hang out sometime? It would be fun."
Jiya's eyes lit up. "Absolutely! Let's call Vicky too."
Aarohi nodded, and they both messaged Rudra and Vicky about meeting up that evening. Rudra replied quickly, saying he would pick up Vicky first and then come to the hospital to get them.
â¨ï¸
By evening, Aarohi and Jiya were ready to leave. Aarohi got a call from Rudra, "I'm on my way."
Aarohi said, "Don't come to the hospital. Pick us up at the hostel gate. We need to change clothes first."
Rudra agreed, and Aarohi and Jiya went back to the hostel. They changed into their most fashionable outfits, ready for a night out. When they came out, they saw Rudra and Vicky standing by the car, waiting for them. The boys' faces lit up at the sight of their girls, who looked stunning.
Rudra couldn't take his eyes off Aarohi. "Wow, you look incredible," he said, opening the car door for her.
Vicky was equally enchanted by Jiya. "You look amazing," he said, holding the door open for her.
Aarohi sat in the front seat with Rudra, while Jiya and Vicky sat in the back. As they drove off, Vicky asked, "So how did this happen? Last I knew, Aarohi was still mad at you, Rudra."
Rudra chuckled. "Love is a powerful thing. Even if you're angry, you can't hide it. Aarohi came to me and confessed she loved me."
Aarohi playfully punched his arm. "He's lying. He called me, begging, 'Please Aarohi, come to me. I can't live without you.' So I thought, let's make this poor guy happy."
Everyone laughed, lightening the mood. Jiya then asked, "So where are we going?"
Vicky suggested, "Let's go to the pub. It's been ages since I've been."
Rudra nodded and headed towards the pub. They arrived and entered as couples, a requirement for entry.
Inside, the music was loud and the atmosphere lively. They found a spot and ordered drinks. As they were enjoying themselves, Rudra got a call. He excused himself to take it, and shortly after, Vicky went to the washroom, leaving Jiya and Aarohi alone.
Jiya turned to Aarohi. "Are you sure about Vicky? I mean, he's a nice guy, but do you have feelings for him?"
Aarohi smiled thoughtfully. "To be honest, I really love him. He loves me too. But we haven't planned anything for our future yet."
Jiya nodded. "I get that. What about you and Rudra?"
Aarohi's eyes softened. "I'm 100% sure about him. This time, I'm not going to lose him. He was my first, and he will be my last."
Inside the pub, the music was loud, and the group was enjoying their night out. Aarohi and Jiya were standing near the bar, sipping their drinks and chatting. Suddenly, Aarohi noticed a group of girls approaching Rudra and Vicky. The girls were openly flirting with them, laughing and tossing their hair while leaning in a little too close.
Jiya noticed it too and gave Aarohi a nudge. Aarohi followed her gaze and saw Rudra smiling politely, trying to brush off the girls' advances. Vicky, on the other hand, seemed a little more engaged in the conversation, laughing along with the girls.
Aarohi's expression darkened, and she crossed her arms. "Really? After everything, this is how they act?"
Jiya clenched her jaw. "I know, right? They should know better."
Both of them watched as the girls giggled and continued their attempts to flirt with Rudra and Vicky. Aarohi and Jiya exchanged frustrated glances before deciding to let the boys know they weren't pleased. As Rudra and Vicky finally wrapped up their conversation with the girls and started walking back towards Aarohi and Jiya, the girls exchanged a look and then turned their backs, heading straight for the washroom without saying a word.
Rudra looked confused as Aarohi stormed past him. "Aarohi, wait!" he called out, but she didn't turn around.
Vicky, equally puzzled, tried to stop Jiya. "Jiya, what's wrong?"
Jiya shot him a cold glare. "We don't want to talk to you right now," she said before following Aarohi into the washroom.
The boys stood there, bewildered. Rudra scratched his head. "What just happened?"
Vicky sighed. "I think we messed up, man. Those girls..."
Rudra shook his head, realizing what must have gone wrong. "Yeah... We need to fix this."
Aarohi and Jiya stood in front of the mirror in the washroom, pretending to check their makeup but really just stalling. They exchanged smirks, silently agreeing to keep up the act of being mad at Rudra and Vicky. After a few minutes, they decided to head out.
When they walked out of the washroom, Rudra and Vicky were waiting anxiously. Aarohi and Jiya ignored them and made their way towards the exit of the pub, but the boys quickly followed.
"Aarohi, please wait!" Rudra called, catching up with her. Vicky trailed behind, trying to keep up with Jiya.
"Aarohi, Jiya, please, just hear us out," Vicky began, his voice soft and apologetic.
But Aarohi, still fuming, crossed her arms and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Why don't you go talk to those girls you were so interested in earlier?"
Jiya chimed in, glaring at vicky, "Yeah, they seemed pretty eager for your attention. You don't need to talk to us."
The boys exchanged nervous glances. Rudra stepped closer to aaruh, his expression pleading. "Come on, Jiya, it was nothing. You know you're the only one I care about."
"Save it," aarohi replied coldly, turning away from him.
Jiya added, "We're leaving. You two can stay and enjoy your new friends."
With that, they both started walking towards the exit, leaving Rudra and Vicky standing there, momentarily stunned.
"We're just going to get a cab," Jiya said dismissively as they both started searching for one.
Rudra stepped in front of Aarohi, gently grabbing her arm. "Please don't leave like this. Let us make it up to you. Just get in the car."
Aarohi shot him a look but didn't respond, glancing at Jiya instead. Jiya shrugged but nodded slightly, signaling that they should accept the invitation.
With a sigh, Aarohi said, "Fine. But this doesn't mean we're not still upset."
Rudra smiled in relief. "Of course. I wouldn't expect anything less."
They walked back to the car, and Aarohi and Jiya slid into the backseat together, arms crossed and lips pursed. Vicky climbed into the passenger seat while Rudra got behind the wheel.
As they drove, the boys remained quiet, sensing the tension in the air.
As they were driving in silence, Rudra reached over to the car's music system and played " LOVER". The car filled with the melodious tune, and Aarohi's eyes lit up instantly. She glanced over at Rudra, surprised.
Vicky, sitting in the passenger seat, raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Bro, since when do you listen to english songs? I thought you were all about those Desi boy tracks!"
Rudra chuckled, not taking his eyes off the road. He caught Aarohi's gaze in the rearview mirror and smiled softly. The look didn't go unnoticed by Vicky, who leaned in closer and whispered, "Wait... is this because of her?"
Rudra nodded slightly, keeping his voice low as he replied, "Yes. She likes Taylor Swift... but this song is one of her favorites too."
Vicky smirked, understanding dawning on his face. "Ah, I see how it is." He playfully nudged Rudra's arm and said, "Alright, Romeo. I'll let you have your moment."
But just to tease him, Vicky reached over and changed the song to something more upbeat, laughing as Rudra gave him a sideways glance, half-amused, half-annoyed. Aarohi, catching the change in music, shook her head with a knowing smile.
Vicky chuckled. "Don't worry, Aarohi, we'll get back to your playlist soon enough. Just giving this guy a hard time"
After a few minutes, Rudra turned the car in a different direction than expected.
"Where are we going?" Aarohi asked suspiciously from the backseat.
Rudra glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "I thought we'd stop by a restaurant first. You know, to apologize properly."
"We wanted to go back to the hostel," Jiya said, her voice stern.
Vicky turned around in his seat and offered a sheepish smile. "Come on, just give us a chance. We'll make it worth your while."
Aarohi and Jiya exchanged a glance but didn't say anything more, choosing to stay silent for the rest of the ride.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the boys quickly hopped out and opened the doors for the girls.
Rudra looked at Aarohi with pleading eyes. "Please?"
Aarohi sighed, then reluctantly took his hand as she got out of the car.
