Dhruv's POV

Kabir opened the door and inserted his head. "Bhai, Dadu told us to select our outfits for the wedding function."

"I am busy. You go on your own, I will select it later." I said nonchalantly. I was not in a mood to torture myself.

"Bhabhi, why don't you join me?" He said coming inside.

"Bhabhi, Me?" Her face showed confusion and then embarrassment.

"Please come with me." Me. I don't even go shopping for myself." She said trying to avoid him.

"Please. Please. I don't have any friends in Delhi. Bhai is also busy and it is always better to have a second opinion. It's my sister's wedding. I need to look good. Please." He said pretending to be pitiful in front of her. It is of no use as she will not agree.

"Ok. Ok."

"Let's go. Bhai you don't need to come, I understand you are busy." He said with a mischievous smile. 

"Wait. I will also join you. Or else when will I get my shopping done." I said and Kabir gave me a knowing smile but Aakriti frowned.

"Since Dhruv is accompanying you, I don't need to join you." She said. How could I forget? Yes, I have thorns all over my body that's why you can't be in my company. Huh. Kabir panicked and held Aakriti's right arm to stop her. 

"Bhabhi. Please don't go. Bhai is like an old man from the previous century with an ancient taste. What opinion can he give me? Please at least have some mercy on this handsome guy. How would I impress my would-be wife if I wore clothes of bhai's choice? I beg you." He said with his usual antics.

"How fast do you speak! I didn't even understand some words." She said looking at him with a confused look.

"Please come with us."

"Ok." She said and Kabir gave a bright smile.

They both left leaving me behind. It felt as if I was third-wheeling between them. 

We reached the boutique. She avoided me and moved along with Kabir. "Bhai, go choose your outfit. I will also go. Bhabhi, you sit here." He said.

"Come with me and help me." I said to Aakriti.

"Go and choose your outfit on your own." She said to me.

"Are you sure? You want to be with Kabir when he is shopping."

"Yes. You go and choose for yourself."

"God bless you." I said in a dramatic way. I am giving you a hint; if you still can't get it, then it is your fault.

"What do you mean? I feel like you are plotting against me." She said with a pout.

"You will know." You will regret avoiding me. Shopping with Kabir is a tiresome act. I hope she doesn't beat him because of annoyance.

She came following me. I looked at her and raised my eyebrow, giving her a questioning look.

"My instinct is telling me it will not be good for me to stay with Kabir. You are setting me up. You chose your outfit. I will look around. See if anything is good." She said.

I started looking for something that would look good on me, but everything was too tacky. I finally saw something that caught my attention.

I turned to call Aakriti to get her opinion but saw her moving around the girl's section, seeing different lehengas. She finally selected a blue lehenga and started moving toward the trial room. Coincidentally, the color of our matches. I started moving towards her with my outfit in my hand.

"Why are you following me?" Aakriti asked me when I was just an inch away from her.

"I am going to try this outfit." I said nonchalantly.

"Then go."

"I thought you might need my help tying the hooks."

"You are going to help me?" She turned red.

"I can if you allow me." I said, leaning closer to her face. She took a step back and glared at me. The salesgirl moved away, creating some space between us.

"Get lost." she said with anger.

"Are you sure? With my help, it will be easier to try this outfit. Don't you think?" I said.

"You... You are a pervert." She said and rushed towards the trail room like a kitten whose tail was on fire. I burst out laughing. Life is going to be fun with you, my wife.

I was anticipating seeing her in that lehenga and waiting outside her trial room. But she came out wearing her clothes, not a lehenga.

"You didn't try it."

"I liked it. I will buy it." I told the staff to add it to our bill, but Aakriti denied it.

"No, make a separate bill. I will pay for this lehenga."

"Aakriti, take it as a gift." Why does she argue with me on every single thing?

"No, I will accept your gifts after we get married." This girl is highly impossible. She still thinks that she can escape. She left.

I selected the outfits for all the functions. I went to see Kabir, and he was still selecting outfits. Kabir has been trying different outfits for the past two hours, and I can see Aakriti getting impatient with each passing second.

"Are you ok?"

"No, I am not. He has tried at least ten different outfits. He is coming out wearing different color outfits every time and not selecting a single one." She said with an impatient look. She could even stand him for 2 hours, which is already an achievement.

Kabir came out of the trial room wearing a peach-colored sherwani, which looked fabulous.

"This looks good but not perfect." He saw himself in the mirror.

Before I could tell him to select quickly, Aakriti went near him and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Kabir, if you don't select your outfit in the next 15 minutes, trust me, I will make you wear a lehenga of my choice for Sachi's wedding." She said in such a dangerous tone. Kabir would look nice wearing a lehenga.

"No need. I am choosing right now." He said panicking for his life.

Kabir got busy selecting his outfits, and Aakriti sat beside me comfortably and moved her head backward to get some support. She closed her eyes in exhaustion. She looked peaceful in that state. I couldn't move my eyes away. My trance broke because her cell phone rang. She looked at her phone with one open eye, answered the call, and placed it on her ear.

"Hello." Aakriti said lazily.

"Your baby is angry with you." Her call was on speaker; a girl's voice came from the other side. Baby, Did I hear her right? My baby has another baby apart from me.

"What did I do now?" Aakriti said without opening her eyes.

"You are already acknowledging that you only did something." The other person said with a mischievous tone.

"Even if I didn't accept my mistake, that monkey would come with tons of proof and prove me wrong." About whom are they talking? I feel it is a kid. I don't think Aakriti would call someone with the nickname of baby.

"Yes, that's true, so go and meet him. He knows you came back to Delhi. You promised him that the first thing you do after coming to Delhi is meet him." Is he so important?

"Shit, how can I forget? Is he angry?" She jerked and sat straight.

"You go and pick him up. Surprise him. His anger will vanish."

"Ok, nice idea." You are going to surprise him. I was feeling irritated. Why is she going to such an extent to please him?

"Make sure your baby meets Dhruv." I was surprised. Looks like I am going to meet someone's baby.

"Do you think it a good idea to make him meet Dhruv?" Aakriti asked with concern. I was shocked because I knew this concern was not for me. Why are you hesitating? Who is he? Do you think I will harm him? I tried to convince myself that it was a kid but couldn't. The way they were talking about him made it so difficult.

"Or else. Do you wish for them to meet directly at your wedding? Your baby will panic if he suddenly gets to know that you are getting married." Dhruv, it's not her boyfriend. It's not her boyfriend. The information said that she didn't have one, then who the hell are they talking about?

"No, but what if. Did you tell him?"

"No, you know him better than me. If anything happens, I know you will be able to handle it." I tried to convince myself that it was a kid but couldn't. The way they were talking about him made it so difficult. Let's meet him and see. I am angry.

"Ok bye." Aakriti cut the call.

She looked at me awkwardly.

"Are you free for an hour? Can you come with me? I want you to meet someone." She said softly.

"Ok." I said. Let's meet your baby.

"Are you angry?"

"No." I said. I am pissed, but do you care? You are busy thinking about ways to pamper your baby.

"Then why are you frowning?" I don't know.

"Smile. If you are like a cold refrigerator, I can't take you to meet him." I forced myself to smile. Miss Nanda, you are driving me crazy.
