He Traps her In His Arms!

"Who was that chatter-box?"

"Somya."

"Huh?"

Her name is Somya."

" You mean that chatter-box was really her," Rahul's angry expression changed into joy within moments. Although he had already guessed but still after confirming it, he hugged his brother.

The thought that he met his future sister-in-law just now made Rahul behave like an excited child. His future bhabhi* is so cool!

Varun, who was suddenly hugged for no reason, "..."

One day Somya asked Varun to join him in her engagement shopping as there is no one to accompany her. Varun instantly rejected, so Somya didn't force him. She just told him that she would be going to the market in the evening alone then.

But a miracle happened in the evening, and she found her 'Charming Young Man' posing in front of her house by standing near his car in his black shirt and white pants paired with matching goggles.

Somya felt like Gods are testing her heart to see if she could bear to not fall in love even when the God of Beauty is standing in front of her himself.

Ansh was a handsome boy, and she was sure about it, but Varun's charm can't be compared with any random good-looking male. He has a different aura around him. Somya took extra 15 minutes while getting ready to look presentable for standing next to him.

Just when she was about to leave her house, her mom urged her to deliver a box of sweets made by her to Ansh. She didn't think much and accepted it as Ansh's office was near the market.

"Let's go," she said while licking her lips, one of her old habits.

Varun stared at the girl standing in front of him wearing a Patiala Suit* with a matching grey dupatta*, looking exquisite yet modest as always. She was giving him the same jubilant and lively vibes as always.

Her deep black eyes, lined with Kajal*, resembles a crescent moon when she smiles. He was equally mesmerized by her as she is, but he is good at pretending otherwise Somya would be over the moon after hearing praises from her God of Beauty.

He gazed at her once again before starting the engine. Somya told him that she wants him to meet her fiance. Varun had seen Ansh in the photos she showed him earlier, and he doesn't know why, but he doesn't like him. He has no idea where this feeling inside his heart comes from, but he hates everything about her fiance's existence.

He was about to say no to her when he heard her say.

"Do you know Varun Ansh is really good to me! He pretends like a gentleman in front of me, and even if I know he is acting, I still feel happy at his indulgence to make me happy."

'Silly! How easy it is to make you happy,' he sighs and accepts her invitation because he can't bear to see her upset.

During the whole way, Somya was like a talkative canary who hadn't talked for ages. It wasn't entirely wrong as she was meeting and chatting to him after so many days.

First reason was that she was busy with her wedding preparations. The second was Varun's office tour about which he lied to her that he is going to Bangalore for a week as he can't tell her that he went to Hong Kong. Varun was responding and smiling at her from time to time.

Suddenly the topic of Somya's gossips turned towards her marriage. Varun can't help but frown as their happy conversation was ruined once again by that engineer. Then the rest of the drive, he spent struggling to get Somya's attention back at him.

He himself doesn't want to voice out his protests but still dares to behave as if she ignored him. What a narcissist!

Only if he knew, Somya was telling those things more to herself than anyone. She was trying her best to forget about her guilt and embrace the bright future coming ahead. She wanted to like Ansh, but something was stopping her from falling for him.

A marriage needs two people's hearts to succeed. She appreciates Ansh's attempts to impress her, and she wants to do the same for him, but her heart wasn't listening to her at all.

So she tried to imprint him on her heart and soul by reminding herself of his good points from time to time. That's why she was praising him in front of Varun.

They finally arrived at Sundaram Complex. Ansh's office was located on the first floor of this building. It was her first time coming here so she was feeling excited about it.

They both were walking in the corridor when Somya's dupatta slipped off her shoulder. She stopped to fix it. After setting it, she hurriedly strode to reach Varun.

They were about to reach Ansh's office when Varun suddenly turned and cornered her. Earlier she was walking on the wall's side so before she can resist, Varun easily trapped her between his strong arms.

Somya flinched at their sudden intimate position. His tall figure was towering over her. She felt scared by his gesture. She moved her black eyes up to meet his deep ones, and she saw him staring intensely at her with anger, worry, anxiety, and something which she can't describe in his eyes. His warm breath was brushing on her face softly, giving her goosebumps. After a while, when she finally found her voice, she opens her mouth to speak.

"Wha...what are you...doing?"

~The truth? I like you.

A lot. You make me happy.

You make me laugh.

You're smart. You're different.

You're a little crazy and awkward,

and your smile alone can make my day~
