Divyansh retorted "Okay, then keep looking till you find him."
Simon took his leave not forgetting to close the door before going outside.
Divyansh threw the cigar in annoyance extinguishing it underneath his boots. He ruffled his hairs in frustration. She was happily talking to this guy two days ago then how can this be possible that there is no trace of his existence in her life.

NEXT DAY
IN BEDI HOUSE
" Innu pack this one also "Jaanki guided her daughter.
Innayat took the jewelry box from her Mother, putting it inside her luggage. It was her luggage which was meant to be send to Divyansh,s residence after their marriage but apparently it would go Suryavanshi farmhouse today.
Jaanki had bought sarees for Innayat as She doesn't had any , also her haldi and Mehandhi attires were also packed in same suit case. The red chooda (Bangles) and Bridal lehanga is already in farmhouse.
Mehandi will be held tommorow and day after Tommorow Haldi function. Mehandi is going to held in afternoon time because henna needs time to stain properly on palm therefore once it dries, night time will be ideal to protect palm from getting in contact with water. Also Tommorow is karwachauth which would be Innayat,s first karwachauth.
They took a deep breath of relief after finally zipping the suit case.
"Innu go and fetch your bags from your room" Jaanki told Innayat
Innayat nodded her head and walked out of the room.
As She reached inside her bedroom, glancing at two bags her heart sank and she felt gloominess was eveloping her.
Innayat had prepare two bags by herself which has some of her daily wears and kurtis and anarkali.The rest of her skincare and accessory assortment were also packed.
She also want to pack all her belongings , stuff toys and decor because she is in love with her room. Everything was personally bought by her and painstakingly orchestrated in a way making her little paradise, now leaving this paradise was making her upset.
What if she didn't liked Divyansh,s room design choice? She will feel detached from his room let alone consider it hers. How could she ask him to change his room for her, it will sound rude. She needs to learn to compromise with her prefrences and dislikes, that's what happens in every marriage, right?
Innayat sighed, frustrated by the fact she can't take her room along with her after marriage. It may sound childish but she had hope of spending her entire life in her room and now, she has to adjust in someone else place.
However She was also excited and looking forward for karwachuth because as a kid she always used to see her Mom wearing beautiful suits and applying henna on both her hands. She also have her Mehandi event on the same day, making it even more special.
Since it is Mehandi ceremony, so Rahima had already made it clear that if Innayat wants she can refuse to do karwachuth fast. But Innayat was egar to do fast, one of the reason being relishing little stuff which comes along karwachuth and other is Divyansh.
Throughout these months Divyansh had earned a respectful place in Innayat,s heart. She also finds him really compassionate because he always listen to her balbering without a single complain. He always gave in her saying , never did he shouted at her when she bothered him.
Shivangi also commented that Divyansh seems very mature and calm person. The threshold of tolerance he have was astonishing for Shivangi as Internet formus seemed literally very brutal in Character assassination.
Innayat would often praise Divyansh inside her head for being so gentle and he was also very handsome. She caught herself scrolling on his pics frequently and he is no less than A.I character because his features are perfectly making her spektical
about him having plastic surgery.
But Even plastic surgery can't replicate such a natural charm which he owned. He was beauty with brain no wonder why he is one of the hottest bachelor of whole country.She was looking forward to live the rest of her life with him.
It was one O'Clock of afternoon.She took her two bags placing it in her parents bedroom.After coming back in her room she dialed Divyansh,s number, somewhere she wants him to know that she is going to fast for him wellbeing. The bell ringed twice before he picked it up.
"Ansh " Innayat said
"Yes Baccha " Came from Divyansh
DIVYANSH,S POV
I was typing harshly on keyboard stressing every key. My jaw was clenched with a stoic expression and I was damn sure keys would be tight for next two days or perhaps for a week. My mind is still messed up after failing to finding the person who is gawking on what's rightfully mine.
There is hovac inside me, wants to be out of the body and receiving no message from Innayat after temple visit, inflamed it even more.
But what she can do? That guy must be clinging on her like a fucking leech. Is he blind enough to not able to see that she is going to get married after someday thus he need to keep distance.
I am buring from inside so instead of going Office and firing employees for pity reason I choosed to stay at home. I am currently working on Microsoft office to prepare files, more like venting my anger on this non living being.
I told myself "That's why she used to forget calling me " I slammed my fingers on Keyes "That fucker was diverting her attention from me "
"AHHHHH Here I am getting insane and he must be flirting with her Wait- ... what if they had meet up "
I stopped typing and then exclaimed furiously "NOOO!!!"
I threw the paperweight set on bundle of documents on the mirror in range, also thrashed the LED Computer screen by throwing keyboard on it.
I Mumbled to myself "No I will not let him have a lovey-dovey moment with my Innayat"
Bodyguards came running inside after hearing the breaking sounds. I was standing from my seat displaying my temper and stoic expression on face.
I roared " Clean all the mess and throw this computer after replacing it with new one"
And saying this I stormed out of the study room. I was heading my way towards gym room again as I want something to vent out my frustration.
I was climbing the stairs when my phone started ringed, closing my eyes I groaned Slightly in annoyance. I,m going to burst out my anger on this person.
I rummage out my phone harshly but as soon as I saw the caller,s name, there came a sudden shift of mood in me. My thumb quickly swiped the green answering icon and came the sweet voice which gets me hooked everytime I hear it.
"Ansh " Innayat addressed my name from otherside.
Only if she knew How much I started to love this name even though I don't allow people to give me nicknames She is exceptional in many ways.
"Yes Baccha "I said softly. I never tries to modulate my voice for her it is something which happens automatically when it comes to her. I am unable to figure out what's happening with me, but it feels good to be around her.
" Ansh tommorow I,ve Mehandi " Innayat stated something I already knew.
"Yes Mom told me join in Mehandi but I don't get Henna on hand so what am I going to do there. Also a Russian client is comingTommorow and I,ve to meet them to finalize the deal " I revealed to her
It is fact for sure if I stayed the henna artist would try to pursue me to put henna, as nowdays even groom is included in Mehandi rituals. With Innayat being there, it will be hard to refuse.
However, there is no way I will go my office having orange stain ony palm, I've my image to maintain therefore I am avoiding this ceremony intentionally.
"Oh so you are not going to present there " Innayat uttered disappointingly.
" Baccha I will be back before evening time and will also bought your favorite Ice cream " I assured her trying to lift her mood
"Awwww that's so sweet of you Ansh "She chirped as usual
I smiled hearing her. She called me sweet like, seriously? Me? who has sole reputation for his cold and grumpy ass. Gosh only if this girl knew, everything I do is for the first time and only by being with her.
" You didn't called me these days...Were you busy? " I let out my lingering thought , expecting different answer than my assumptions.
" Yeah Ansh you know nah all the packing I had to do before leaving for farmhouse " Innayat replied
" Oh Obviously you would be busy " I retorted having a triumphing expression on my face. She was not busy with that Leech
"Humm" Innayat murmured.
" What happen?" I asked
" Nothing Ansh It's just that I am going to miss my room. You know I never allow anyone displace even a fragment from my room. Now I've to leave my room " She mentioned regretfully.
I was not sure what to say but then a thought came inside my head but I choosed not to reveal it for now.
" I,ll make sure you feel comfortable in my room " I gave assurance
She chuckled abit then responded" Thank you soo much Ansh but it will be our room not your room "
It warmed my heart the way she referred my room as our. Never thought thata part of me is way too egar to share my room with someone.
She bid goodbye and disconnected the call leaving me in pleasant mood for rest of my day.I completely forgot the anger subdued by her soothing aura.

INNAYAT,S POV
I let out sigh after disconnecting the call, a pout formed on my lips. Even though I really want Ansh to be there in Mehandi function, but I can't force him if he has work to do.
Futhermore He should be known to the fact that I am fasting for him though telling it, seems way too awkward for me.
" Doesn't he know that tommorow is karwachuth and I might fast for him. Such a Duffer huff!!! " I exclaimed myself being annoyed by his lack of awareness
" Let it be, I am going Palour with mumma for waxing and facial " I turned my heels to Mumma,s room.
Mumma had already made an appointment in Parlour. Even though I've only tiny body hairs it's good to wax it so my skin will look flawless. We are going Farmhouse early in Morning since my parents want to split the responsibility of Mehandi.
I walked inside Mumma,s room who was ready to went out with me. We booked cab and in no time arrived in Parlour. The rest they did every other procedure which was included in their bridal package we,ve selected for me.
ON MEHANDI DAY
SURAYAVANSHI MANSION
" Please come inside.I was just decorating the swing for the ceremony " Rahima Aunty politely welcoming us.
We arrived in farmhouse at eleven twelve O'clock and My eyes were wandering all around the living room trying to spot Ansh. Perhaps He is in his room but he was supposed to go office today. Did he went without waiting for our arrival? I am feeling sad....
I ate my sargi quiet well in morning therefore I am not hungry right now. I'd coconut water, apples, banana, soaked nuts, also yummy Pheni bowl and Chickpea with puri made of whole wheat flour.
" Rahima why are you doing so much work all alone? You also have fast " Mumma said
" It's fine Jaanki , I didn't did anything by myself. I only instructed maids and guards. Don,t worry I am not exhausted " Rahima aunty assured with a smile.
" Aunty Is Ansh in his room?" I asked hoping for this possibility.
" No beta he went office for his so-called meeting.I told him to finish his work before marriage rituals, but this brat- I mean Businessman son of mine is way to workaholic" Rahima aunty stated with irritation expressed on face.
Oh so he did went for meeting. I know his business is important but I am somewhat disappointed. I was unconsciously expecting Ansh to take care of me like husbands do when their wives is on karwachuth fast even despite we are not married yet.
" It's okay Aunty. The work is also important " I stated maybe assuring myself more than her.
" Let it beta he will come before nightfall" Rahima aunty shrugged and told maids to show us our rooms. The guards took our bags and we followed them.
My parents are given one room while I am given bride room. Servants left the room after placing my belongings inside the room.The room was way to spacious and lavish than mine bedroom.
There was a king size bed and an wardrobe to put clothes. The walls were painted light yellow color and ceiling has yellow marble covering.
There was some fruits placed on table which I obviously can't eat.
" Should I ask Ansh to come early " I wondered to myself
I sighed before turning my thoughts away from Ansh because I might get more upset if I try to think alot about it. I should behave mature instead whining about it.
Since the Mehandi function is about to begin at two O' Clock, I should start taking shower, mumma have to do my makeup for Mehandi.

DIVYANSH,S POV
I made myself comfortable on cabin chair after finalizing the deal . There is a lot of time remained, so maybe I can go home around five O'clock. It will be easy to avoid the function because as much as I know Mehandi is applied within one or two hours.
" Sir can I go home early today ?"Pankaj asked as soon as he came inside the cabin.
" Why? What's so special today?" I questioned being curious, because he never dared to made such a request.
" Sir today is Karwachauth. My fiance must've been tired whole day so I want to take care of her till the moon show. Didn't Mam is fasting for you? " Pankaj said
I was fumbled by hearing that Today is Karwachauth. I know that women fast for their husband's longevity on this day but never paid attention because it's very illogical.
How can someone's life line increase just by a mere fast that too done by someone else. It is absurd way of pleasing God by starving your wife and although whole population of Indian females do this fast, still majority of males dies either because of Alcohol consumption or because of Accidents.
But the sentence he let out especially in last spinned my head towards Innayat.Many questions started rising inside my head.Is she fasting for me? Didn't she had anything whole day?She didn't said anything about it neither mom.
" I don't know about her. You can go early today " I dismissed him pondering myself on some other thoughts and he left the cabin.
Picking my mobile off the table I dialed mom,s number in urgency
" Glad to see you don't forget your mother after going Office " Her statement was i sarcastic but I didn,t had time for that.
" Mom Is Innayat doing Karwachuth vrat?" I ask calmly
" Yeah she is doing it " she replied.
" Why didn't you stopped her? It's rediculious to starve her simply because You want your son to live long " I roared losing my control.
" Stop yelling at me you brat!! She did it by her own free will. I even told her there is no need to fast for my useless son but my Innu was persistent on fasting for you " She interjected in annoyance.
I became silent for a moment.A little part of me somewhat surged up with warmth knowing she wants to fast for me but still I can't ignore the fact she has been starving herself whole day.
" I am coming home" I declared and disconnected the call before she could say anything.

AUTHOR,S POV
Innayat was seated on the swing and numerous ladies gathered around her. Some were dancing while Mehandi artist were applying henna on her hand. There were Four henna artist appointed by Rahima so that they will apply henna on others hand simultaneously. Rahima and Jaanki had their hands already filled with henna designs.
The living living room was draped with different shades pink sheer curtains whether it's ceiling or pillers and tulips were decorated everywhere.The swing itself was adorned with pink lilies and soft mattress placed underneath them as they've to sit for a quiet a long time.
After consulting with Rahima and Jannki they allow Innayat to get minimal henna on feets which will be cleaned after it dries.
As henna stains quickly on feets than hand so Innayat wants to remove it after a while.
" So should I hide the name of groom? Or make it obvious in the design " Henna artist added
"Ummm... Please Hide it well so he will not able to.find it " Innayat answered mischievously.
" Hahahaha Poor Groom he will spend whole night searching his name " Henna artist remarked candidly
Then she wrote his name also and after few more strokes they were done with Mehandi. Innayat,s right hand and left hand was almost dried.
Her back was aching being in one position for so long therefore she thought to take a little walk. She was feeling hungry and also weakness in her body. It's not just about eating food she is someone who drinks alot of water because she gets dehydrated easily.
She walked abit admiring the dance, smiling seeing Rahima and Jannki. They gestures her to join them. She walked over them and also moved her hands and waist with music. Rahima curled her hands around Innayat,s head, Making her giggle.
At the same moment, Divyansh entered inside the living room, through the Lawn area. Everyone was busy in dance so no one took notice of his arrival. He roamed his gaze around every corner until an etheral sight freezed them.
( I suggest everyone to play song ð¶ " Meri Banogi Kya" by Rito Riba , Rajat Nagpal or Haareya by Arijit singh)
All right, He never believed in existence of angel or any other mythical creatures like fairy, about which their elementary school teacher used to narrate from story books.
But WTF his so called brain was wrong all this while because it is literally standing right in front of him, dancing with her killing smile. She was wearing lehanga, which has sleeveless yellow color blouse reaching her waist. It has sweartheart neckline which wasn't deep at all.
The color of skirt is combination of yellow, pink and green, beginning from her navel and extending down, till her feets. She was carrying gradient color dupatta which has soft pink on one side and pastel green on other side and both color was harmonized very well.
A golden karrah (bangle) were worned in her small wrist.He was admiring her, more like gwaking her without saying anything.
Her voluminous long hair were dropped down, parted from middle and instead of maang Teeka, a simple tiny white crystal bindi was adoring her forehead. Even the earrings were small and her lips were coated with velvet red lipstick.
( Jisne description nahi padhi uski ( ˶ËáË˵ ) Maggie jal jaye )
Even after being seemingly tired she wants to enjoy her Mehandi ceremony. Divyansh was still observing her, She excused herself out of the group as it was getting hard to dance while fasting. She never fasted in her entire life so obviously it would be difficult to do karwachuth fast where even water is not allowed.
Innayat pressed her hands against the wooden drawer and released a breath. Her lips would've looked capped if there was no makeup on her face. She licked them so they doesn't get dry.Her feets were hurting alot after walking all day from one corner to another.
Suddenly, two strong hands wrapped around the side of her cheeks and causing her turn in her side. She meet the hazel sharp eyes boring into her soul with somewhat concern and immense care.
Her heart began racing, as it always does whenever he is close to her , staring into her almond eyes with the expression, which he is wearing right now. She may never be able to comprehend what this expression means.
" Sugar Are you fasting " Divyansh asked her softly but with hint of hesitance in his tone.
" Ah? Oh... I- I Yes I am fasting" Innayat was perplexed by his sudden arrival but somehow managed to find words
" Oh God " He lowered his head letting out a frustrated grunt then returned his gaze at her.
"Why didn't you told me before? You don't need to do it Sugar. If you are doing it under peer-pressure, let me clear this to you that I don't believe in such things so I will not allow anybody force you to starve yourself " Divyansh seriously put his words in front of Innayat.
Innayat shook her head vigorously " No Ansh I voluntarily wanted to do this fast "
Divyansh sighed " Sugar You have not eaten anything whole day. Let's just make you eat something first " He tried to pursue her ignoring her previous words
Innayat,s eyes widden " Ansh How can I eat? It's my fast!! why are you making me break my vrat before appearance of moon, it will be bad omen.No, I am not eating anything "
" Baccha Stop being stubborn and obey to what I say " He strictly ordered her.
Innayat gave him teary eyes and her expression dropped face " Ansh but I was so excited to do my first karwachuth now you are saying this. I am feeling extremely hurt "
"Sugar I am sorry Baccha, I didn't mean to make you feel sad " Divyansh expressed, being panicky from strict within a second
"Then... Can I continue my vrat " She eyed him with hope
"All right, You can" Divyansh declared feeling defeated
" Thank you soo much Ansh. You are the best muhhh " She chirped throwing flying kiss.
Suddenly he grabbed her by waist making her jolt towards him and then swiftly hoisted her in the bridal style. She involuntarily encircled her henna dried hands behind his neck and was shocked.
He started marching towards the swing. As they came in view of others, everyone,s attention shifted towards them.
"Ansh what are you doing? Put me down. Everyone is looking " She whispered a yell getting consious of others.
" I don't want my Sugar to get tired. Just because I agreed to you, doesn't mean I will let you struggle in such a steamy day" Divyansh spoke effortlessly without looking down at her.
Having no option, Innayat buried her face in his chest being embarrassed as they came near the area where women's were dancing.
Rahima stared at Divyansh with questioning gaze but he was least bothered by the attention they were receiving from ladies.
Rajveer stepped inside the living room, he blinked his eyes, taking in the scene infront of him.
" Were not you supposed to be in office? How come you here, that too so early?" Rajveer interrogated
Divyansh shrugged his shoulder elucidating " It's our Mehandi ceremony so..." the words trailed off when his eyes went behind his father, noticing familiar silhouette.
Although he was not surprised to find Ekaksh here, but he could've atleast phoned once to let him know he was coming, it would not have affected his phone bill. And Divyansh knew he is done now, after seeing annoying smirk on his face.
Ekaksh came in front of Divyansh and look in the scene smirked "Well...Welll I can't see the bull dancing in the sky but can see a wild red bull getting tied to domesticity"
He commented with reference of Divyansh,s word in Kunnal,s wedding. Then burst into laugh making Divyansh irritated but he can't do anything with him right now.
He ignored Ekaksh,s word and just gave a grimaced expression then continued his walk.
After reaching the swing He made Innayat sit on the swing and also took seat beside her before placing her feets on his lap. Divyansh gently started massaging her Ankle and feets.
Ekaksh was seeing all this while sipping sprite straight from bottle.
" Ansh You don't have to do this " She attempted to get her feets back, but he didn't let her.
" I have seen how you were losing your balance while standing there so let me do it if you don't want me to force you to break vrat " He threatened her.
She kept quiet after hearing his words.People were minding their own business and Rahima had a teasing smile on her face but nevertheless choosed not to bother her son now.
Rajveer also felt proud of his son witnessing care towards Innayat while Innayat,s parents were assured that their daughter would be happy with Divyansh.
" Placed your head on my lap so You can be more comfortable " Divyansh suggested
" What?! No! everyone is staring " Innayat exclaimed shakinf her head.
" Nobody is staring and even if they would be it doesn,t matter? I am helping my soon-to-be wife to feel comfortable when she has fasted for my wellbeing " Divyansh asserted
Innayat pouted looking at Divyansh, the corner of his lips curled into smile. He pinched her left cheek.
" Don't try to act cute soon-to-be Mrs Suryavanshi and quietly obey my words like Good girl, otherwise I am going to kiss you, right here" He warned her teasingly
Her eyes widdened and she quickly placed her head on his lap while her legs were hanging from swing. Divyansh moved his hands in her silky soft long hairs, massaging them with extreme delicacy.
A sudden calmness he felt in the chaos around him and he wasn't the only one who was feeling this soothing feeling, Innayat too was caught in cosiness with his soft touch.
Somehow she drifted off into light slumber, ignoring all the presence around them.
