Ahana's POV:

"This is too much for me!" I replied to a designer.
"I want something subtle and classy!" I told her and she dug herself into her tablet to find the perfect piece for me.

My Award ceremony is tomorrow. I am freaking out on what to wear. I had a panic breakdown about my outfit yesterday night because there was no one at home. Mum was too busy and so was Shreya. Yash gave me every sexy option but they weren't suitable for the occasion.

Oh! And my breakdown was in front of Ru. Who calmed me! And now I have 5 freaking designers on wait because he wanted to me unlimited options.

Flashback Started
On a Video call.

"Ru? What do I freaking wear?"
"Wear anything you want, baby. You'll look pretty as always!" His words made me blush but this was not the right time to blush.
"Rudransh! Be serious and look in the camera!" I said in an authoritative tone as he was intensely engrossed in his laptop.
The moment I said he shut his laptop and looked in camera.
"Yes, Princess. Tell me your issue. I'll solve it."
"I already told you!"
"Dress. Right. Got it" he uttered and put the video call on hold.

After 5 minutes he resumed the call.

"Baby, your problem is solved."
"What did you do?"
"I did nothing. The designers will be at your place tomorrow. You'll have infinite options. So, for now, calm down or I'll be at your place in 2 minutes."

I was astonished by this man's capability of doing things that me fall more for him piece by piece.

Flashback Ended

"Mam?" The designer's voice brought me back to earth. I nodded.

She handed me her tablet. I was going through her dresses but then suddenly I thought why not wear a saree?

"See, I have an idea. I have a saree of my mum but I don't have a blouse to go with it." I said while standing from my place and handing her the tablet.

"That'd be incredible. Can you please show me the saree? I'll see what can I do!"
I quickly went to my mum's closet and bought my favourite saree of hers.

I gave her the saree. "Please be careful with it. My mum would kill me if anything happened to her saree." She gave an assuring smile.

"This is a beautiful piece mam. I can surely make ur blouse and by night it'll be delivered to your place." She said.

"U'll give me itni jaldi. That's great then!" I was quite shocked because I had heard about her boutique and if you want a dress you have to wait for a quite long time.

"Yes, mam. You are our special customer and Mr Raichand has personally called. So, we have to give our best service to him."

I don't know how many wonders will I get because of Ru.

"Okayy!! Thank you so much!" I said.
She took my measurements and left. I told her not to reveal my dress to him.

After when she left I called Ru.

"Hello," I heard from the other side.
"Hi, Ru! Are you busy?" I asked because I could hear some noises from behind.

"Never for you, Princess!"
This man can melt me.
"Did you find your dress?"
"Yes, I did!"
"So, what are you gonna wear?"
"See yourself tomorrow!"
"You not gonna tell me?"
"Nope!"
"Ok then will see you tomorrow then, Princess!"
"Yes, Don't be late!"
"Sure my lady, anything else?"
"Nahi! Thank you!"
--------------------------------------

The award ceremony has to start at 12 p.m. It was already 9 a.m. Due to excitement, I haven't slept the whole night. I had watched every YouTube video about how to drape a saree. I hoped Mum or Shreya would be here at the moment. They would have helped me and I would have been tension-free.

I quickly had my smoothie and was about to go to my room to get ready as Ru would be coming at 10 am.

The intercom beeped. I went near it and our security guard appeared.

"Ahana bete! Yeh koi stylist ayein hai!"
"Stylist? Uncle unhe samne karo!"

A young woman came into my sight. She was beautifully dressed and had 2 other women around her.

"Hello, mam! Mr Raichand has told us to visit you as you have your ceremony today!"

Ru called them?

"Mam, can you please wait for a second? Lemme just confirm!" I said and She nodded with a smile.

I went to the couch to get my phone. The moment I opened my call log. I got a call and that was from Ru only.
I picked it up!

"Princess!"
"Hnji! Ru, There is this lady outside my door. And she is saying that you have sent them."

"Baby, I called you to tell you this only!"
"But why have you sent them?"
"Because Baby you were tense last night about who'll help you out and all. So, I called Yash and took the number from her and called them!"

My ears weren't believing and my mind wasn't processing. I couldn't believe that I got the person who cared about me the most.

"Thank you!" It merely left as a whisper and my tears fell.
"You don't need to, Baby. Now go and get ready!"

I hummed and hung up the call with a feeling of gratitude to God as he sent someone who was mine just mine.

I quickly wiped my tears off and told the guard uncle to let them in.

One thing I instructed them was that I don't wanna an ounce of makeup on me. I just don't like it on me. It is not my thing. And I had to wear heels today. I was already nervous about it as I could see myself tripping here and there.

Rudransh’s POV:

"Abhishek! I don't want anything to go wrong today. It is her special and I want it to be that way!" I instructed him as he was on a video call with me while getting dressed to leave.

"Hn bhai! I have kept everything under control. And I'm working on getting those Bastards." He responded and I trusted him.

I hung up his call. I was more than proud of my girl. Although I wasn’t part of her hustle but I am part of her success.

Fuck

I'm happy that I'm a part of her life. And I am more than happy with it.

After getting dressed I took my car keys and left the room. I went straight to my car and drove off to her place with guards.

I called her. She said that she'll be down in 2 minutes. I was nervous. I don't feel nervous like ever. This a foreign feeling for me. I let it settle in me as I waited for her.

I stood near the passenger seat when I heard the click of the door. I tried to look but failed. Then suddenly the door opened and I saw the one I was waiting for.

When she came fully into my sight I was frozen to my place. She wore a saree. A freaking saree. I did not anticipate this in my dreams. Her bare waist gave giving a nice view of her body. She was so eternal that I was awestruck. As she was coming closer to me my heart took up pace and my nostrils were endowed by her strawberry scent. I noticed the pedant that I gave her was resting on her neck as it claimed that she was mine only fucking mine! This was the end of me like I was gone gone.

She stood in front and that gave me the perfect moment to soak her all in. Her face was flawless. There was not a point of makeup on it with hair perfectly flowing. I was in a different type of thing where I was just lost in her and I never wanted to be found.

"Ru?" She snapped her fingers and that made me come back to earth.
I stood straight as I grabbed her waist and tugged her closer to her.
"Princess, You are looking surreal. A Goddess and I feel I am blessed after seeing you." Her cheeks turned red in a second.
"Really?" She whispered.
I leaned in and kissed her forehead and whispered, "Yes! Always and forever"
I took her hand and made her sit in the car.
------------------------------------

"Everything's gonna be alright!" I placed my hand on her hand as she was nervous. Her right leg was continuously shivering.

We had reached the place where the ceremony had to take place half an hour ago. Now it was just about to start.

According to her, everyone sitting here is the best of the best restaurant owners. But all I could see was her as the best of the best. She sometimes tries to underestimate herself but I am always here to tell her that she is no less and is absolutely amazing.

She also introduced me to one of her friends. I only know her friend Shreya. But the one I met today I felt was super fake. But I had to be nice because Princess wouldn't like me being rude to her friend.

"Rudransh! Am I looking good?" She clasped my arm in a tight grip while looking at the stage.
I cupped her cheeks and made her face turn toward me.
"You are looking beautifully perfect!" I said and she nodded.
------------------------

The ceremony had already commenced and Now the restaurant winner's names were going to be announced.

AHANA KAPOOR OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT JOY'S LOVE HAS WON A GLOBAL TOP 10 POSITION AWARD IN THIS CATEGORY.

The moment the announcement was made I squeezed her hand and nodded her to go.

She stood from her place and I started clapping. She reached near the stage and turned towards me. I clapped for her and gave her a nod to go on.

She took a few steps and now was on stage with the head receiving her award. She made eye contact with me while accepting her award and I gave her a flying kiss which made her giggle.

And from my left side, I could hear the splutter of camera flashes towards my direction and then hers. I don't like media like at all. They just try to invade someone's privacy and I fucking hate it.

She came running to me and was about to stumble but I caught her at the right moment and she hugged me. "Careful Princess!"

"Thank you for everything Ru. Like everything!" She whispered in my ear and I pecked her cheek.

After some time

The ceremony was now over. She was on a video with her mom and dad, Shreya, Ayaan and Yashika.

I swear no one was able to hear what other was saying but they all were happy.

Ahana grabbed my arm and yanked me in the video. The moment I was in the frame everyone started shouting.

"Thank you! Rudransh Beta for joining her!" Her mum and dad to which I said, "There's nothing to thank about Aunty. It was my pleasure!"

"Um-hm dekh rahe ho Yashika aur Ayaan koi apne number bana raha hai! It was my pleasure!!" Shreya mimicked and Yash joined her while Ayaan was laughing.

" Oye! Bas karo! Don't tease him!" Ahana countered and I slid my hand on her waist and smirked in the camera.

"Boli Beti Boli!" Shreya said sarcastically and everyone laughed. Princess hung up the call because according to her, "They were too much!"

"Princess, Should we get going?"
"Not now! Wait I want you to meet someone!" The moment she said this she pointed in a certain direction towards a person.

An old person came to my sight. He was in a suit with people around him as if he was well-known in the food industry. But as he was coming closer to me I realized I had seen him somewhere.

Yes! This is Daddu's friend. We used to play when I was a kid living with daddu and daddi.

He stood in front of us and Ahana hushed.

"Sir, I want you to meet someone!" Princess said.
He looked at me and said, "Arre Rudransh tum yahn" I leaned and touched his feet.

"You both know each other?" Confusion was evident on her face.
"Yes! He's my Daddy's Friend!" I told her and smiled in my direction.

"And Ru he is my Teacher! He taught me everything about my restaurant!" I was delighted that she was in safe hands.

We talked about a few more things and decided to leave

The parking lot was not smooth it was a bit stony. I was standing beside her when I don't know what made her jump out of a sudden and the next moment she fell.

She fell but my heart sank. I quickly reached out to her to pick her up.

"Princess, You alright?" I made her stand straight but she wasn't able to. I crouched on my feet and lifted her saree only to see that there was blood.

I had seen blood more than one can imagine but seeing it on her I panicked.

I lifted her in my arms and made her sit in the car then made her remove her heels.

"You are not wearing them again!" I announced and closed the door.

Then I went to my seat.

"Ru! It's nothing! It just might be a sprain!"

She rubbed my arm but her blood flashed in front of me.

"We are going to the hospital!"
