ENGAGEMENT

NITHYA'S POV

"Try this..." I said giving her another lehenga.

"Are you serious??? I have tried more than 10 lehengas. Can't we just pick one?" Megha said getting really tired and irritated.

"No! You can't pick anyone randomly. You need to pick the best one." I said sternly.

"Now go try this...." I said pushing her towards the trial room.

I turned to look at my staff.

"Is this all we have? Go get all the latest ones now." I ordered them and all of them left immediately.

"Ufff butterfly..... calm down. Don't stress yourself." Vineet said hugging me from behind.

I felt safe in his arms and relaxed.

"Don't call me that." I said turning around and throwing my hands around his neck.

"Why not? Don't you remember how obsessed you were with butterflies?" He said kissing my cheek.

"That was like 10 years back." I complained and he laughed.

"But still...I still remember how you hugged me when I gifted you that butterfly bouquet." He said nuzzling my nose and placing a soft kiss on my nose.

"And not to forget that sexy tattoo on your collar bone." He said pushing my shirt aside and placing a delicate kiss on the tattoo.

"Hmm...hmmm." I smiled faintly and leaned forward and kissed him on his lips.

"My cute butterfly." He said making me sit on the sofa, I chuckled at his antics and pulled him to sit next to me.

"How is your new assistant?" He asked sipping the juice.

"He's sweet but new to...."

"It's a he?" He asked spitting the juice back in the glass and I laughed.

"Yeah IT'S A HE. He's new to the field but a fast learner." I said and he gave me that side eye.

"I swear he's nice and not creepy." I said hugging him.

"If he misbehaves or find him weird your going to remove him or tell me about it. Got it." He said seriously.

"Yes sir." I said sternly and he smirked.

He was about to say something but Megha came out of the trial room.

"Wowwww." I said admiring her.

"You look really pretty Megha." Vineet said and she smiled looking at herself in the mirror.

"This is it. This dress looks like it's made for you." I said and she looked at me.

"Are you sure?" She asked and both of us nodded our heads.

"You are going to take people's breath away." I said and she just shook her.

"After all who designed it? Me....me the great." I said proudly and both of them shook their heads laughing at me.

MEGHA'S POV

I am sitting in my room wearing this really beautiful dress. I loved it as soon as I saw it and its just complimenting my body.

Even though I am not interested in this marriage, I should try and look happy atleast for the sake of my parents.

I sit in front of the mirror getting ready. Immediately the door opens and the two of them barge in.

"Ohhhh.....my......godddddd." they both stood there frozen with their mouth open.

I turned and looked at myself again in the mirror.

"Guys, am I looking good?" I asked hesitantly.

"Looking good? You look breathtaking babe." Veena said and I signed in relief.

"Gorgeous, you look stunning." Nithya said as she came forward and held my finger and made me twirl.

I laughed and looked at them.

"Thank you guys." I said and hugged them.

"Don't thank us now. Thank us when you see the arrangements and then after seeing the arrangements for your wedding." Veena said and I smiled

These two are more excited than me. Ofcourse why wouldn't they. They always wanted this to happen. Me and Yuvraj getting married.

I walk out of my room and towards the area where my engagement was going to happen.

I entered the area only to get shocked from the arrangements. It was beautiful. Beautiful is really a small word.

"Veena this is......"

"I know I know......it's beautiful. Thank me later." She said smiling at me and I nodded to her statement giving her a broad smile.

I walked towards my family and hugged my parents.

"Stay happy child." Both of them said and I smiled.

I walked towards my brother and hugged him.

"You're looking gorgeous Meghu." He said kissing my forehead.

"You know it's not late. If you don't like to do this tell me. I'll take you away from this. You and me. We both can go for a world tour." He said and I giggled.

"Well I think this is the most tempting offer I have ever got but have to reject it. I am happy with this marriage Bhai." I said and he gave me a forced smile.

"Bhabhi I think your not taking care of my brother. Bhaag Jana chahta hai woh tujhse." I said and she gave a death stare to my brother who just shrugged his shoulders.

("....... He wants to run away from you.")

"I'll look at him later. But now let's not divert the attention from you. Your looking breathtaking. May God bless you with all the happiness and again if you have any problem speak to us okay?" She said holding her son.

"Yes ma'am. Now who do we have here....awww look at you so cute. My Lil champ." I said picking him in my arms and kissing his cheeks.

"You look gogeous bua." He said and I laughed at his statement.

"Thank you handsome. It's gorgeous not gogeous baby." I said.

"That only I said." He said huffing and I chuckled.

I put him down and walked towards the stage.

I looked at him standing there on the stage and he was matching with me. I turned to look at Nithya who just gave a broad smile and winked at me.

I started climbing the stairs and I was about to fall when a hand wrapped around my waist.

"You don't need to...." I was about to tell something but then when I saw who it was my words were stuck.

"Abhay....."

"You look stunning Megha." He said and I was still shocked. What is he doing here?

"If you don't mind. I am taking my fiancee with me." Yuvraj interfered and took my hand in his helping me in walking the stairs.

"What is he doing here?" I asked him.

"I am clueless, even Riya is here." He said and I turned to look at her. She was giving me a death stare which I ignored and took my seat.

"By the way, you are indeed looking like a princess today......only by appearance." He whispered in my ear and leaned back.

I turned and looked at him with a smile.

"Well you definitely don't look like my prince, for that matter you don't look like a prince at all." I said and turned.

"You should go ask the girls present here." He said with a smirk.

"I am a girl as well." I said.

"You are an exception." He said and I was about to argue but the priest started with the ceremony.

We exchanged our rings and garlands and sat down to take some photos.

The servers got some sweets and kept it in front of us.

"Ma'am can you feed your fiance while we take a photo?" The photographer asked and I was about to tell no but this Riya had to interfere.

"Ohhh please.....Megha and feeding..... impossible." She said making an ugly face.

And just to prove her wrong, I took the cup from the table in front of us and took a sweet from it and forwarded my hand towards him.

"Are you serious?" She asked and I just ignored.

"Meghaa....." Nithya's voice came from behind but I just stuffed the sweet inside his mouth.

I took another sweet from the bowl and ate myself, that's when I realised that it was not kaju katli......it was peanut katli.

I turned and looked at him, he was removing the top button of his kurti and he was sweeting.

"Are you fine?" I asked him because of the sudden change in his behaviour.

"Ye.... Yeah." He said and got up from there and went behind the stage and all my friends followed him.

I stood up and went in that direction.

"Megha are you mad." Nithya yelled at me and I turned to look what was happening.

Yuvraj's face was now red and he was coughing. He took a tablet in his hand and gulped it immediately and sat on the chair and closed his eyes.

"Megha seriously I didn't expect this from you." Veena said.

I was still clueless.

"Megha he's allergic to peanuts and you made him eat peanut katli." Dhruv said and that's when I realised, his sudden change in behaviour.

"I....I.... Didn't know." I said looking at Yuvraj who was still sitting there with his eyes closed.

Huge amount of guilt swept through me.

"You don't know that your fiance is allergic to peanuts also and that to you know him from childhood. I am far better than you." Riya came in and uttered those words making me more guilty.

"I am sorry....... I didn't know. I really didn't mean to do it." I apologised sincerely.

"It's fine guys leave it. It's not like she knows everything about me. We are not that close that she knows all my personal things. We are just two people who have common friends and who fight for random stuffs." He said opening his eyes and my guilt kept increasing.

Why are his words hurting me so much, it's like someone is piercing my heart.

Not to make the situation worse I walked out.

As I walked out on my way, Abhay came and stood infront of me.

"Hey, are you fine?" He asked and I just tried to walk away.

"Leave me Abhay, I am not in the mood to talk." I said as he held my wrist and I started trying to free my hand.

"Ok fine. But are you sure that you are ok?" He asked and I just nodded.

I was about to go when he held my hand again.

I looked at him and he took a step closer to me. His hand came near my face brushing my cheek.

"Something was there." He said.

I felt someone's gaze on me and when I looked up I found Yuvraj looking at us, he shook his head and turned around and walked away.

I pulled my hand from his hold and walked away.

So much drama in just one day but that guilt is really killing me.

*****************

DHRUV'S POV

She walked away from there without uttering another word.

Veena was about to follow her but I held her hand and pulled her aside with me.

"Where were you going, sweetheart?" I asked her.

"Can't you see? She walked away, I thought of going and speaking with her." She said and I shook my head

"You are not doing anything like that." I said still holding her hand.

"What makes you think that I'll do what you say?" She continued annoying me.

"You'll spoil my plan sweetheart so instead of doing that be a sweetheart and stay quiet. Okay?" I said and she frowned.

"What plan?" She asked.

Now she's asking the right question.

"Who do you think called Riya and Abhay?" I smirked looking at her shocked expression.

"Who do you think kept all peanut sweets on the table?" I couldn't control my laugh seeing her expression.

I held her chin and moved it making her close her mouth.

"Close your mouth sweetheart." I said and she started hitting me on my chest.

"Are. You. Mad. Dhruv. Rajput." She said stressing each and every word.

I held both her hands and pinned her against the wall.

"Hear me first." I said and she kept quiet.

"I called them because Yuvraj doesn't like Abhay and Megha doesn't like Riya this is good because Abhay has sweet corner for Megha and Riya has a crush on Yuvraj. So jealously will arise between them." I said and she looked like she was going in some deep thought.

"What about the sweets?" She asked curiously.

"Patience sweetheart. Sweets because.... I knew Megha didn't know about Yuvraj's allergies. So she would feed him without any knowledge. Then when she would see his condition she would feel guilty and she will try to initiate a conversation with him atleast for apologizing to him." I said and she looked at me with wide eyes.

"No wonder you are a Playboy." She said.

"Thank you ma'am." I said with a smirk.

"It was not a compliment. But what if they don't talk?" She really couldn't keep her head shut.

"They will..... Megha is feeling too guilty so she'll initiate a conversation and that conversation will slowly lead to Abhay and Riya and slowly they'll start talking." I said and she started going in deep thoughts.

"Sweetheart?"

"Mmmm" she hummed and i smiled noticing her lack of attention.

"Don't you think your too comfortable in this position?" I asked her sweetly and she blinked her eyes innocently.

"What?" She asked and I moved my eyes towards our hands which was pinned to the wall above her head.

Her eyes widened and she pushed me immediately.

"Asshole.....by the way you're not as dumb as I thought." Saying that she walked away.

"Ohhh please don't forget that I am a CEO. Many girls die for me. I am not DUMB..." I yelled and she just walked away without even looking back at me.

This girl.
