AHANA’s POV:

We entered a ground which had a Raichand Securites banner outside. It was highly decorated as if a concert was about to happen.

“Btao na! Why are we here?” I asked him while taking his hand and coming out of the car. He held my hand tightly and indicated towards a banner.

The banner said  ‘KING’S CONCERT’.

The moment I saw that I was awestruck. I glanced at him and he was standing there like a proud man. “How do you know about the concert?” I asked holding my all emotions together.

He slid his hands to my waist and tugged me closer and said, “I happen to own the place, I guess tabhi!”

“Thank you, Ru!” I said as tears started rumbling through my eyes though they were happy tears.

I had watched King since I was in school. I was about to see him live. I wasn’t able to attend his concerts before but I guess It was meant for today by him my Ru by my side.

"Princess, why are you crying? You don’t like it?”
“No, baby I loved it!” I said and pecked his cheek which in turn they were now fully red!
“Anything for you, Princess,” he said and brushed my tears away.

He made a quick call and was surrounded by 10 guards.

“There is no need for them!” I said questioning him.
“There is Princess!” He assured their need.
We then walked towards our spot.

We entered the VVIP seating where there was a lounge and couches too. I was following him as he held my hand tighter as if I would get lost. He walked like he owned it. It’s his.

Yes, it is!

“Baby, here!” He gestured me to our place. Beside ours was the fan pitch.

“We’ll stand!” I declared and he nodded. We went a bit more forward to the stage. And were fully surrounded by guards.

“When will it start? I can’t wait to see him!” I said jumping on my spot.
“Aajayega! Where else he'll go?!” He said dragging me closer.

“Yr Ru, I am sensing Jealousy! Is it coming from you?” I said teasing him with a smirk.
“Jealous! And me! My foot!” he said while looking away as if he was finding something.

I was about to turn towards the stage when he pulled me again in his arms and whispered, “You know you are mine!”

Then we both were snapped out of our thoughts when the announcement was made for the artist.

When King came I was jumping, screaming, hooting! I was literally on cloud nine at that moment. I looked beside me I saw everyone holding phones and recording. A sudden thought came across me why can’t they just enjoy it? Just live in the moment! I ignored them and again focused on the stage.

It was so much fun standing there. I was living in the moment. Then the song started playing ‘Tum Sath Rehna’.

I felt two hands on my waist pulling back and it was Ru's.

He snaked his arm on my waist and locked his hands on my abdomen and my hands over his. It was such a beautiful moment that I wanted it to stop and let it soak in all at once. I could feel him kissing on my head.

Ru and I standing like this singing one of the best of the best and just being ourselves.

Concert was now over but we didn’t go to our car. We were sitting on a couch in the VVIP lounge. Meanwhile, Ru was sitting beside me taking a call.

"Princess, You want to meet someone?”
“WHO?” I said while looking at him confusingly.
Then the door opened the person who came into my view. My eyes widened. My grip on Ru’s arm got tighter he might have got marks of my nails on it.

It was KING. I looked at Ru and he was smiling and motioned me to him.

Ru introduced him to me. I didn’t know how to react. I just blabbered in front of him like a kid. After meeting him we went towards Ru's car.

The moment we sat in the car I said, “When I have to give presentations my mouth works like a machine and udr King ke samne seal hogyi thi yeh. I made a fool of myself in front of him!” While he was fastening his seatbelt he shot his eyes to me.

“What are saying? You did a great job out there babe! It is normal to react when you meet someone you admire!” He said while his thumb caressing my hand.

I was happy that it was Ru♡

I was fastening my seatbelt when he said, "Princess, wait I have something for you!”I furrowed my eyebrows while thinking of what he had for me.

He opened the dashboard and retrieved a small bag from it.

“This! It is for you, Princess.” He said while handing it to me.

It was a very designer bag. I opened it and saw a beautiful black box with a velvet covering.

I opened the box and there was shinning sleek pendant with a heart made of blood red ruby.

It was too beautiful to be grazed. I shot up my eyes to find Ru already staring at me from his caramel eyes.

“You like it?” he asked with hope I could sense that from his voice.
I ran my fingers from it. “Ru, I loved it!” I said while looking at him and he smiled brightly while flexing his white teeth.

“Put it on, Princess.” He said while bringing his hands to mine.

“Ru, I can’t take this. This seems very expensive. This is not right!” I said because it felt like that. I am not used to receiving gifts. Nobody has ever done this for me. I could feel the heaviness of his stare.

His hand came to my cheeks and he cupped my cheeks and said, “What is mine is yours. Nothing is more expensive than you in my life, baby. And it wasn’t even much babe! I can buy the damn company for you!”

The moment he said I could feel
butterflies in my belly and goosebumps all over my body. My cheeks were red I could feel the heat.

I giggled at his words. Although, I knew that he meant every single word of it.

He pecked my cheek and made me wear that pendant.
----------------------------

It was around 5 pm when we left the concert. We decided to go on a long drive, I particularly insisted.

Everything was going soothing, long beautiful roads, me with him. But a notification sound disturbed my moment.

'Isko bhi abhi ana tha?' I murmured and switched my phone on to see what it was about.

It was mail. It was stated as NRAI. I knew what this meant but I wanted to be sure. If this was what I knew I would die from happiness. But I reminded myself before opening the mail to not get my hopes high.

My hand instinctively clasped his arm and I looked at him and he looked at me with confusion. I brought my gape back to my phone. I took a long breath, took my Diety's name and clicked on it.

'Congratulations! Your Restaurant has been selected as the National Restaurant Award's winner!' As I read it, I couldn't believe my eyes. I rubbed them hard and then focused on the screen again! It was the same!

I screamed out of excitement and for a second I forgot that I was sitting in a car. The car came to a halt with a loud screeching sound. I looked at Rudransh and he looked terrified by the look on his face.

"What happened Princess?" He placed his hand above mine.
"Lemme start from the start!" He nodded and I started.

"So, There was this survey which was held by the Nation Restaurant Association of India. They visited my restaurant too. After the survey, our restaurant was nominated. I and the staff members kept it a secret as we didn't know if we'd make it or not! You know this award is like an Oscar for a restaurant. So--"

I stopped mid-way and motioned me to go on and his grip grew tighter on me. I took a long deep breath.

"So, the thing is WE FREAKING WON THE NRAI AWARD!" I announced and he hugged me. He held me so tight that I already knew what he wanted to say. Happy, I have achieved something tear fell from my eye.

"I'm so happy for you, baby!" He whispered in my ear.
"I guess you are my lucky charm," I said and held him close to and he chuckled.

He kissed the side of my forehead and tugged me from the hug. He cupped my cheeks while his thumb caressed my red blushy cheeks.

He placed a soft kiss on my lips and said, "I'm proud of you. I always was, always am and will always be." I placed my hands on his and kissed them.

"Ru! Mandir Chalein?" I said because after my parents they are the reason for my success.
"Of course! Chalo!' He uttered and started driving.

Going to Mandir always helps me to feel every emotion at its best. Even if it is to cry, I feel peace after it.
----------------------------------

After visiting the temple, I called up my parents, Ayaan, Shreya and My manager. Everyone was on cloud nine. Although my parents are not here, they mostly travel as Dad's business is overseas too.

I missed them at this moment. Ayaan and Yashika were also not here. They were in Mumbai.

I stood in front of the tall mirror in my room, looking at myself. My eyes fell on the beautiful pendant which was resting on my neck. I softly ran my fingers through it.

He had left me at home and went to his office. His office employees were eating his brain. I could see those tense lines on my forehead whenever the phone rang.

While I was wrapping it around my fingers, his words flashed in my mind "What is mine is yours!" I chuckled at the thought.

I wanted my mum to come quick so, I could just rant everything to her. After Shreya, she knows me more than me.
Of course, she does!

Maa hain woh!

A notification sound snapped me out of my chain of thoughts. I grabbed to phone to check who it was.

It was an email from NRAI about the award ceremony. It was stated that it'll be held in 2 days and that too in Delhi. I squealed in excitement but halted with one thought.

'With whom I'll go?'

Mum and Dad were not here, Ayaan and Shreya were in the town. Fuck!

Ru! His name came to my mind and without giving second thoughts I quickly dialed his number.

On the second ring, he picked up the call.

"Hello," I instantly said the moment he picked up the call.
"Princess?"
"Suno?" I said
"Already missing me?" His sexy voice! Ahhh!
"Nahi! Listen na!"
"Yes, tell me. I'm all ears"
"The NRAI award ceremony is in 2 days. And I don't have anyone ----" I was interrupted before completely by his voice.

"I'll come with you, Princess"
