CHAPTER 7

Armaan's POV

"Arru, only 3 days left for your engagement and you and Alisha haven't done with your shopping yet. So we're going to shopping tomorrow evening. Be home by 4 tomorrow. No more discussions." Mom declared after dinner. We were having our dinner at Kapoor's

Mansion. Our mom's had decided that they would do shopping together. I just nodded.

"Aloo, you should also be home early. I hope you don't mind, darling." Mom told her and she nodded.

"Oooo what's this? For me 'no more discussions' and for her 'I hope you don't mind' so mean ya." I told mimicking mom and everyone laughed.

Next day...

"Mom, I'm here. Hey, Soniya aunty." I told as I reached home Soniya aunty was also there.

"Arru, wait for a while aloo is on the way." Mom replied.

"Okay. Hey sweetie. We were just talking about you." I told as I saw Alisha coming. Her eyes widened as she heard 'sweetie' slipping from my mouth. Our moms chuckled seeing her reaction.

"Uh...hi." She replied.

"Let's leave?" I asked.

"Yeah arru." Soniya aunty told.

.

.

.

"Aloo, try that green one na." Mom told Alisha. In the car, we decided that Soniya aunty would shop for me and mom would shop for Alisha. So, that is what is going on now. We came to a boutique which Soniya aunty suggested.

After 2 more hours, we finally decided our outfits and went to buy rings and some jewellery for Alisha.

The next two days passed in a blur and now I'm standing in front of the mirror wearing my grey sherwani.

We reached the venue a few minutes before Alisha's family came. I was standing on the stage posing for photographs. After a while she entered with her family.

'First of all she is pretty upon that this outfit make her look so gorgeous.' I thought and then I realised what I was thinking. 'Stop thinking like that Armaan. Remember the reason you're marrying her.' I told to myself. I saw her coming towards me. Like a gentleman, I forwarded my hand indicating her to place her hand on mine and climb the stairs. She came up and stood next to me.

"If it wouldn't be our engagement then I'd kill all the men who're ogling at you right now." I faked emotions and she blushed I don't know but I felt so serious while telling it and I still can't believe that such an innocent soul can kill my Neha.

'Shut up, Armaan. She killed you Neha. Innocent soul!!! See her face. Everything is fake. She killed your Neha.'My brain yelled.

'You better don't agree to it. She is so innocent and pure. She can never do such a thing. Not purposely atleast.' My heart retorted. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard Alisha calling me.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

" How could I be okay when so many men are ogling at my to be wife." I told trying to hide the fact. She blushed.

"Why are you being so flirty these days?" She asked while we were posing for a picture.

"You have a pretty fiancée then you flirt unknowingly." I told and she blushed.

"Hey Armaan. Gosh!!! It's been so long since we met. Finally you're getting engaged." Shanaya jumped over me.

"Okay baba. Now meet her she's my fiancée,Alisha." I introduced her to Alisha.

"Pretty pretty. Uhm...hmm." She complimented Alisha.

"Uh...Thanks." Alisha replied to Shanaya and gave me a confused look.

"And Alisha meet her. She's Shanaya my best friend in Paris." I introduced Shanaya to Alisha.

"Hi." She smiled and shook hands with Shanaya.

"Oh so you are the one who replaced me in his life." Karan told to Shanaya.

"Uhm...Karan right?" She asked him.

"Yes Shanaya." Karan replied.

"He talks so much about you and Alisha." Shanaya told him. That's actually true. I missed these two so much. Especially Alisha because I couldn't trouble anyone in Paris. But now I won't miss her after all she will be mine soon. I was lost in my thoughts when mom and Soniya aunty came with the rings. We were asked to put the rings and we did it.

Armaan's ring-

Alisha's ring-

'Finally we are engaged. The game starts now Alisha Kapoor.' I thought.

We were called to have our dinner which was followed by some teasing and then we left the venue.

.

.

.

Such a tiring day it was. I changed to my tracks and t-shirt and went to my bed. 'I'll take my revenge Neha. Soon your murderer will be destroyed and your soul can rest in peace. I'll make sure that she lives but not peacefully.' I thought and decided to text Alisha.

Alisha's POV

'Finally, I'm engaged now.' I thought as Armaan slid the engagement ring on my finger. After that we were called for dinner and after dinner we all left the venue.

I changed to my night suit and was about to sleep when a notification popped on my phone. It was a text from Armaan.

What's my gorgeous fiancée doing?

Nothing. Was about to sleep. What about you?

Nothing. Was thinking about you.

Yeah. Keep thinking. Aren't you tired?

Looks like you are. So I guess I should let you sleep😗

Yeah. You should.

Okay fine😔 I didn't expect it though. Good night love❤️. Sweet dreams.

Good night.

I kept my phone on the bedside table and let sleep engulf me.
