《HER REPLACED GROOM》CHAPTER-54

He stood talking to someone with his back facing me, soon a girl came, but I can't able to capture her face as someone came in between, I move towards them, and saw the girl side hugging my Ranveer.
I feel my world shifts beneath my legs when I heard the words come out from that girl whose back is still facing me.
"Heis my boyfriend." She said and in instance came out my voice with another oneand I yell, "What???"
On hearing my voice Ranveer smiling turn around to face me but I was so focused in that girl as when she turn around my eyes bulge out from my socket. And soon they both were laughing. I came out from the shock and relax a little bit and broke in small smile but none the less glare at them, and the person who is talking to Ranveer was still in shock so I move forward to see who he is, and I shook my head as I got to know why she pull this little stunt. I didn't paid any heed to these laughing donkeys and I shook this person who is none other than Ranveer best friend, Kabir,
When he broke out of his trance, he looks at me and mutter, "wha... girl..." I again shook him a little and call out his name, and soon he become normal and saw me. I smile at him, he mirrors my expression and we hugged each other, and came a possessive growl from behind.
.
We broke the hug, and I asked "how are you kabir?"
"I am fine Ishika." He said playfully, without calling me bhabhi, and soon came a possessive voice "bhabhi." Fully stressing the word 'bhabhi' and I can feel him shooting daggers at kabir who just smirk in return; I turn around to look at these two who stood there in anger shooting daggers at each of us.
Serves the both donkeys right.
"Ranveer won't you introduce your new girlfriend to me." I asked in sickly sweet voice batting my eyes at him.
"Ishika." He growl.
"Ishu won't you talk to me." Came a voice of the girl who stood beside my Ranveer, but I didn't answer her.
"Ishikaaa." She whines and kabir raised his eye brows in confusion and amusement.
"Why will I talk to you, when I am no important to you?" I said in fake anger.
"What? How can you say this?" She whines and tried to move towards me, while I show her my hand to stop her action.
"What, what. You never picked up my call, never call back, stopped meeting me; you know when we last meet, and its complete 5 days back, why you never stop by my office, huh?" I asked rising my one brow.
"Huh! It's because of this man standing beside you, the boss of mine, who won't approve my single leave, won't allow me to go home early. You tell who would do this to their new temporary employee. He-" she said but cut off in between by kabir who look so funny right now with so much confusion on his face,
"Will anyone tell me what is happening here?" He asked and this time I broke in laugh.
After controlling my laughter i open my arms for her and she came forwards and soon engulfs each other in a hug.
"Oh my little sister, how much I missed you." I said and she replied with missed you too.
"Little sister?" kabir utter which came out as a question, we broke the hug, and nod our head.

"Kabir meet my cute little sister, Rashika Sharma." I said.
"What? Sister? Then how come Ranveer is her boyfriend?"
"Yes, my sister. And about that I also don't know. Ok so you guys chit chat, I will see what mom and dad is doing." I said turn to move but someone drags me in corner.
I don't think it's important to tell who the person is. I shook my head in fake disappointment while giggling inside like a teenager whose crush simply talked to her for the first time.
Ranveer pins me to the wall in the corner, though no one is around but anyone can come here and saw us and think of me, us as a shameless couple. He dips his head in the crook of my neck and inhale deeply.
"What are you doing, anyone can come here." I Asked slowly pushing him away, as so many guests are there today, and it won't look nice. He held my hands and wraps them around his waist, and wraps his hands around mine. So now we both were hugging each other.
"You know you are looking so beautiful in this saree, but this sexy back of your blouse want me do something with it." He compliments me still in the hug and I blush, as I can feel warmth spreading across my cheeks. I hummed in response for him to continue.
"Oh. So what it is that you want?" without thinking I blurt it out which ever first thing came in my mind. He tightens his arms around my back while I put my face in his crook of neck more in shyness.
"I want to turn you around to face the wall... slide your hairs to your shoulder... then slowly yet gently run my finger on your smooth back... then plant few kisses here and there... then..-" he voice was so low that butterflies erupt in my stomach and I suddenly start feeling so hot, that my breathe become uneven.
"Then?" I whisper back when he stop in midway.
"Then... I will run my tongue to take a taste of your addicting body." He completes with a blow of air near my ear which makes me shudder, and I push him away and ran away from there, smiling and blushing profusely.
"...sawaha." our family priest said for the last time while Ranveer pour the ghee and I pour the havan samagri (havan material) in the fire pit.
Then we all stood for the arti, soon one by one and in couplet everyone came forward to do the arti. After that the priest distributes the Prasad to everyone. Then we asked the priest to have his food, soon after him everyone start having their food.
After a while everyone start moving to their respective houses. Not soon before when I am seeing my parents off Ranveer came and asked to come with him, and I followed him to our room. My friends are still here to provide strength to Shweta, as she needs it for what coming next.
Before I could ask he hugs me tightly. This man is getting too clingy, not that I am complaining. I rub my hand on his back in comfort, soon he relax, and said,
"I have to go to office right now." He murmurs in low voice.
"Okay, so..." I asked unsure why he is upset all of sudden, while going to office.
"I don't want to go." He whines like a kid. My god, if any of his employee or the media saw him whining like this, trust me they will have a heart attack.

"Yash can't make it today, because I asked him to take this meeting, and that dimwit can't do a single work." He said while muttering some cuss words. I shook my head mentally still don't understand his single word.
"you know him, he is still new to this and you are the boss and this project is yours so you know better than anyone what is it all about, so just go to the office and stop whining like a kid." I said cupping his cheeks with both of my hands as his arms are still around my waist.
"You are not getting it, you will leave for Greece in couples of hour and I don't know when we will meet, and I won't be able to reach you for almost eleven hours, you know what it means." He whines again with a pout, oh lord how cute he is looking right now. I shook my head understanding his point as heat rose from the back of my neck, and I shyly look other side.
"So what, it's not like I am going out for few days for the first time." I said trying to play cool. And his expression change from cute to deadly serious on hearing my choice of words. He tightens his arms around my waist and pulls me more into him, just as his mouth was couple of inches away from me. My breath got hitches at our proximity as his nose touches mine fanning my lips, erupting goose bumps all over my body, reminding me of last night incident. His eyes dilated giving the darkest brown of shade. He looks in my eyes for some time, then suddenly pulls away from me, and strode out of the room, while I stand still processing everything happen here. I come out of my shock state when I heard a loud bang behind me making me jerk a little.
As if you don't know, what you did.
I shook my head and ran out of the room in search of him, while I was moving out of the main door when suddenly mom came and ask me to come with her.
"Mom can I come back in few minutes. Please." I said in hurry, she look at me and nod her head in understanding, and I ran out of the house.
"Ranveer." I yell but no words came out as his car was already out of the gate. I continuously look at the way his car just went for complete five minutes unknowingly. I heave a sigh and went to my to call him but all I get is a recorded mail. I cut the call and went downstairs in search of mom.
"Ishika, the jet is ready and will take of ninety minutes. I think we should leave now, to get there on time." Misha said from behind as she and my friends are in my room, since I am getting ready. Misha and Shweta have already changed to their casuals in guest room.
I nod my head and ask her to call any of the servant and asked them to keep our bags in the car.
I took my blessings from mom and dad, and hugged Gautam, though he asked about letting him come to the airport but I sweetly declined. No one asked about Ranveer as they know he went to office for urgent meeting.
"Misha, you and Shweta take this car and reach the airport while I will be their soon." I said once we reach the garage, they both nod their head while giving me teasing smile. I didn't pay any head to their teasing and took another car and went to my next and important destination.
After 20 minutes I reach my destination, though it would have took me whole 40 to 45 minutes but with shortcuts and over speeding, I reach my destination in less time.
I didn't park my car as I was in hurry but ask the guard to park it and send the keys to me. I hurriedly ran inside the building, every employee stand up leaving whatever work they are doing and greet me afternoon, I hurriedly yet with smile replied them and took the private elevator to the top floor. After sometime the lift stop and I walk out of the lift.
The receptionist wished me afternoon after seeing me, I walk up to her, this lady is really sweet in her early thirties with two cute twins whom I met in the office party before marriage.
"Hello Mrs. Gupta, how are you?" I asked though I am getting late, but still a person should never forget their manners.
"Hello Mrs. Kapoor. I am fine. Thank you for asking. How are you?" she replied then I asks her about him. She said that he just now return from the meeting and will soon be off for another one, as the client gets some emergency. I nod my head and went to his room. I didn't knock his door directly open the door.
Huh! Someone was talking about manners and all few minutes back.
"...these are the notes I prepared, and the client said that they will-" Yash stops in between after hearing the door opening without the knock. On seeing me he passed me a wide smile.
"Hello Ishika." He said making Ranveer turn around with a jerk as he was standing near the window looking outside. I smile at Yash and ask him to go out politely, and he went out after taking his I pad which was placed on the table.
Ranveer look at me for some time and then suddenly turn around after realizing something. I took a deep breath controlling my laugh and walk towards him.
I stood in front of him, sandwiching between the mirror and him and look out of the window by folding my hands over my chest just like him. We stand there for like five minutes without speaking but I can feel his gaze over my head, slowly I backed away and put my head over his chest, when he doesn't move I scoot towards him, more likely into him.
"ra-" I start but pause in mid as my phone ring in the way breaking the silence between us, I took out my phone from my skirt pocket and see,
Since the screen was showing the caller name I checked the time which says only thirty minutes left for the flight to take off, and I have to move fast from here as it will take more than thirty minutes for me to reach there. I sigh and pick the call.
"Ishika when will you come. Only thirty minutes are left." Misha asked from other side as I put the phone over my ear.
"Will reach soon." I said and cut the call without waiting for her reply. I know I sound rude but she knows where I am. I shook my head, and put the phone back inside my pocket. I took a deep breath and turn around to look at him and saw him already looking at me.
"So...?" I gulp looking at his intense gaze, and move my eyes away from his as I can't stand his intense look.
You can do this.
I chant this line in my mind and shook my head mentally and again look at him, this time more determined then before.
Without breaking the eye contact I slowly trail my hand over his arm up to his neck making him shudders which make me smirk instantly. I wrap my arms around his neck and saw him gulping inaudibly. I move my face towards him, and when my mouth was an inch away from his, I can clearly heard his heartbeat, and dam that is so hot, his face clearly depicting many emotions, his eyes dilating in desire, he forward his face to cover up the distance as I am not making the next move but soon the moment when his lips were about to touch mine I move my face and hide it in the crook of his neck, inhaling his intoxicating smell, soon his arms wrap around my back tightening his hold over me.
We both stood in this position for quite some time holding each other, inhaling each other's scent or whatever.
Our trance was broke with the loud voice of my phone, making me broke the hug with a groan, and I swear I heard him growl in my neck, making goose bumps erupting all over my skin, as he pushes me more into him, I smile and take out my phone and saw again Misha is calling.
"Ishika, where are you, we are getting late. Come fast will you." She said the moment I pick the call, before I could reply she again start,
"Stop romancing with your husband and get back here." She said making me blush hard. I hummed and disconnect the call.
"Ran, I have to go." He again inhales; kiss the sensitive part of my neck, and back away still holding me.
Seeing his face I can tell he is thinking about something or more like anxious about something, but trying to show everything normal, but I can really read people face, especially his. He is somewhat anxious from last night about something. I didn't ask him about it, as I want him to tell me on his own when he feels like sharing.
Soon we both were in the car making our way towards airport, as he asked no order me that he will drop me.
