AZAR POV
I like the way her body reacts to my touch.
And finally, I lost my sanity and kissed her pink cheeks. I know this action made her gourd, but what to do, princess? You will be the death of me one day.
With that thought, I left before I did something I would regret later.
Once I reached the mansion, I noticed Grandfather was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper. Walking to him, I set myself near his feet and put my head on his knees.
He ruffled my hair and asked, “So, how was the meeting?”
And my mind flew as I remembered my Pink Tomato and her smile.
“The meeting was good. Grandfather, I am leaving tomorrow late at night, but before I leave, I want to make this official. Please arrange the engagement ceremony for tomorrow. Moreover, I don’t want any public drama. It has to be a simple family function. Please make sure this saying that. I got up and looked at him one last time before going. He had a satisfactory smile on his face. “Your order is my command, e.” He said he chuckled at his jock while I shook my head.
Man, this old man needs some treatment. He thinks that I left for my room to make some important calls.
While going to my room, I notice Aunt Nina standing near the door and listening to our conversation, and the moment I reach her, she hugs me tightly and says, “I am so happy for you, Azar.” I can feel she has started shedding tears.
Breaking the hug, I gave her a look and asked, “Why are you crying if you are so happy for me?”
“You will not understand. Now go finish your work. I have so much to do as you have not given me enough time to prepare anything as per my liking.” and she runs towards Grandfather before I say anything else.
I looked towards her and thought, these two oldies need some medical treatment badly. Nonetheless, I am happy to see them happy, like a child who got their favourite candy.’ I shake my head.
With that thought, I left for my study.
ARA POV
I reached home, and I guess news has reached before me, as I could see the happiness on everyone’s faces, and Mom is shouting about house help to do work fast.
I shake my head and sit with Grandpa and Sanya, who are busy in their deep thoughts. Ignoring everyone, I closed my eyes.
God’s day started a few hours ago, and I am tired already.
And then I hear Grandpa’s voice. “So, how was your meeting? Princess, there is no pressure from our side if you want. We can still cancel this arrangement.” His eyes held warmth and a love he could not hide.
Before I said anything, Sanya said, “Yes,, don’t force yourself into this replacement arrangement.” I felt a sting in my heart again, but then I remembered what he said. I was his first choice, but I don’t want to tell this to her. I don’t want to hurt her.
So, I kept a small smile on my face and said, “No, Grandpa, I want this. He is really a good guy. Of course, he is arrogant, but I know how to mend his arrogance.” And winked at him. I don’t want my family to think they are forcing me, anyway. I can see they want me to make my own decision. Though earlier I had said yes to this alliance because of my family, now I have no problem with it. Though we are strangers right now, we will come around sooner or later.
Grandpa laughed aloud and said, “That’s my princess.”
My lips could hold the smile looking at his happy face.
Mom came running towards me and told me and my Sanya to get ready for shopping, which I hate the most. “Mom, I am already tired. Can you and your sister go and get whatever you like? You know how much I hate shopping.” I whined.
One glare from my mom, and I know there is no way out right now.
I huffed and said, “Can you see I am ready already? Let us go now. But let me eat something; I am starving.” My mom nodded in agreement and ordered the servant to get something for me.
After filling my hungry stomach, we left for dress shopping, and me being me, I chose the first dress I liked, and we left for the jewellery shop. And as if my mom was on a mission to annoy me today, she gave me one more task, which I do not wish to perform right now.
Guess what?
She asked me to call him and ask him the size of the ring.
Like really? Why would I do it?
I told my mom to call the grandfather and ask, as he might be busy and might not pick up my call.
But Mom, being my mom, will not give up that easily. So, she said first to call him, and if he does not pick up, I will call Grandfather, and again I huffed in annoyance.
Why do whole worlds want to irritate me today?
Having no option, I went aside and dialled his number. Hot Piece Of meat, yup. That’s how I saved his number.
He picked it up in one ring. Was he waiting for my call? But how come he knows I am going to call him?
Damn, everything is so weird.
And I hear his voice. “Is My Queen missing me already?”
Damn, is this guy flirting with me? If yes, then it works big time again. I could feel my hot cheeks.
But then I composed myself and said, “No, no, I called because Mom wants to know your finger size for the ring.” Which he replied, “Hmm,” and gave his size.
I thought we were already buying a ring, so we might as well buy his choice of ring, so I asked, “What kind of ring would you like?”
