Aakarsh's POV :-

I kept my forehead over hers trying to make a grip on the racing breaths. A peaceful smile was making its way to my lips. I opened my eyes and saw the most breathtaking sight. A peachy blush was adorning her beautiful features.

Standing close to me she was breathing heavily with her eyes closed. Her red tinted cheeks were the evidence of the beautiful and passionate kiss we shared a few minutes back. Ah! Was that moment even real?

Damn! This girl is making me go all crazy.

I'm doing all the weird stuff which I never thought to do. How could I kiss her? This is all wrong. I don't have any relationship to kiss her. But, then why the hell did it feel absolutely right at that moment?

Although I had called her to know what abbreviation (PFC) she used and to do a bit of light hearted teasing. That's all! Not even in my farthest dreams I thought to do something like this too in my very cabin.

God! What had gotten into me? I'm behaving like a complete insane who has no control over his emotions and hormones!

But, again, I don't know what came into my mind when we were standing so close. So close that I could feel her breathe. Her baby soft skin sent shivers to my body when I touched those adorable cheeks. Her beautiful brown orbs were shining more when she was all angry and cute.

Cute!? Did I just say that? Hell yeah!... because that's what she was looking. The mole under her lips. Lips - Her soft plump lips which felt like rose petals, were looking more attractive at that distance between us. Rather negligible distance!

She was scolding me for the obvious reason but I don't know why my mind was stuck between her eyes and her plump lips. A sudden and strong urge to feel those petals with my lips, rose in my heart. I tried hard to suppress that feeling but alas! all in vain. The moment she took my name in that dulcet voice of hers, I lost all control of my every sense.

Something happened in my heart and to its beatings that in a fraction of second -- despite getting thousands of denials and warnings from my mind -- I placed my lips on her agreeing with my fluttering heart.

And there I lost my first kiss to this gorgeous creature!

"You idiot.."

I was pulled out of my trance when Diksha said something and jerked away from me.

"Huh..?" I thinned my eyebrows at her raging expression. Her nostrils flared up in anger. She hit me in my stomach. And yelled again.

"What the hell did you do...you idiot, donkey, monkey..." She kept on hitting me with her soft hands.

"What..?" I was extremely confused as to what happened to her suddenly - but in response I got a punch on my stomach. Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, she punched me! That too hard!...like really hard.

"Ouchh.."

I winced in pain holding that particular area of my abdomen where she had punched; wondering where did she get this much strength from, all of a sudden. Damn! Those tiny looking hands definitely have some power.

"Kya ho gaya...maar kyu rahi ho achanak...(what happened...why are you hitting me suddenly)...?" I asked as I held her hands when she was all set to hit me again -- with double force this time.

"To kya aarti utaru tumhari...jo tumne kiya uske bad (so shall I worship you after what you have done)..?" She said, gritting her teeth. She struggled and was trying to free her hands from my grip.

But, her words got me a hell of a lot more confused...why was she so pissed suddenly?

"Can you please explain a bit...why are you so angry?" I asked but didn't leave her hands. Who knows if this wild kitten will pounce on me next minute!?

"You Duffer, idiot...you stole my first kiss...I had saved it for my husband...and you, a big giant potato-faced chimpanzee, just stole it...you moron." She yelled at me; loud enough to make my ears bleed.

My mind was trying to register the words she threw at my face. And my eyes widened in realisation.

First kiss?

What..!!!

God did I hear it right...? Am I her first kiss? I can't believe my own ears! My heart escaped a few beats as her words rang in my ears again and again. I was so elated at this newly found information.

But wait, what did she say... saved it for husband? Like shadi wala husband...(like husband from a marriage)?

This specific 'husband' word got me so angry that I could feel rage filling inside my nerves. I don't know why but a sense of possessiveness ran throughout my whole body. My jaws hardened at the image of someone else being her husband. How could she say something like this?

"What the hell do you mean by husband..?" I gritted my teeth at her. Tightening my grip on her hands I yanked her closer to me.

"AHH... it's hurting Aakarsh... leave it."

My eyes went to her wrist where I was holding; indeed it was red because of my grip. I loosened it a bit but didn't leave fully.

"I'm sorry..." My eyes soften when I see the redness of her delicate skin.

"You should be...for this and for stealing my first ever kiss." She reminded me again and twisted her lips.

"Hey...but this was my first kiss too!"

Diksha's POV :-

My eyes widened like saucers when he said that it was his first kiss too. What! The great Aakarsh arrogant Verma, didn't kiss anyone till date. It's too much to believe.

"Liar..." I said not believing his words.

"Arey...what liar... I'm telling the truth yarr." He whined like a kid... as if he desperately wanted me to believe his words. I know he's not lying because you know it may sound cliché but his eyes say it all and right now they're holding so much sincerity.

I don't know where this all was going but I know my heart wasn't warning me or giving me any negative vibes about all this happenings between Aakarsh and l; so I'm kinda sure this isn't wrong. Maybe fast but not wrong.

As I'd come here to give him an earful about the stunt he pulled earlier but then his actions caught me off guard...and then God knows how I too reciprocated that wonderful kiss ---- my first ever kiss!

*Blush*

*Blush*

"Jo bhi ho (whatever it was)...it was saved for my husband...and now you stole it." I said, twisting my lips for him to know that I was annoyed.

I swear I just saw a wave of anger pass through his eyes again. His body stiffened visibly at the mention of my husband, second time in a row.

"Why are you again and again mentioning something imaginary?" He spoke through his hardened jaws. Anyone can conclude how infuriated he was right now, by his looks. He was behaving like a possessive alpha male who got angry easily on the point of his girl to be claimed by someone else.

Ohh God, that means he's also feeling the same for me!?

I blushed -- an ability I didn't know I possessed until meeting this man -- at the very thought of Aakarsh and I being together.

"Why are your cheeks red now..?" He asked in confusion, thinning his eyebrows.

"Kuch nahi...hath chhodo...( Nothing...leave my hands)..." I tried to pull my hands out of his iron like grip, at the same time controlling my blush...not meeting his eyes.

I don't know what he figured out but he left my hand. I was finally happy that he left my hand but the happiness was short lived as he suddenly pulled me towards him by my waist.

"Kya maine tumhe bataya ki tum sharmate hue kitni khoobsurat lagti ho ...(Did I tell you how pretty you look when you blush)..." he said, feathering my cheeks.

What!!! The great Aakarsh arrogant Verma is flirting...oh God I'm not dreaming, right?

Iss khadus ko ye bhi aata hai...ohh my poor heart...!

I was about to reply when a loud knock drew our attention and we pulled apart almost instantly.

"Uhhhhh.... come in" he cleared his throat and ordered in his usual bossy tone before moving back to his chair.

Writer's POV:-

Nakshatra :-

"What...what are you trying to say...Diksha ki shadi..kya?" Mayank asked in confusion.

"I know humlog ispe pehle hi baat Kar chuke hai (we have already talked about it) but this time I'm confirming it and asking for your consent." Mrinal said, looking at Diksha's parents.

" Saaf saaf boliye Mrinal kya baat hai (please tell us clearly what's the matter)...?" Krishna asked.

"Okay let me reframe my words...So as we have discussed about Diksha's wedding -- of course with Krish -- I want to know if we propose this to the kids. Tumlogo koi problem to nahi hai isse (you guys don't have any problem with this)...?" Mrinal asked, looking at others.

"Arey par ye sab to hum discuss kar chuke hai na (but we've already discussed all these)...that we want our children to marry each other. Phir abhi ye consent ki Baat..(then this consent thing)...?" Annapurna said, quizzically.

"Wo isiliye Annu ji kyunki main un dono ki shadi jald hi karwane ki soch rha hoon..like in a year...(Annu, that's because I want to get them married soon.)..." Mrinal said.

"Why so soon?... They are still young...plus Diksha ki padhai bhi puri nahi hui hai abhi...(Diksha's studies are also not completed yet). Plus the situation isn't favourable...Krish is already tense and they haven't mingled completely with each other. Agar abhi unko ye baat batayi Jaye to mujhe dar hai wo mana Kar denge (If we are to ask them to get married now after making them aware of this proposal, I'm afraid they would deny). " Krishna raised her concerns.

Mrinal bit his lips in tension. Pure dilemma was visible on his face. He looked at her, perplexed, not knowing how to explain things he came to know that evening.

"Mrinal koi serious baat hai kya...(Mrinal is there any serious matter)?" Mayank asked, suggestively as he read the tensed expression of Mrinal.

"Krish would lose his ownership over the company...he would be removed from the CEO post." Mrinal said, leaving them in utter state of shock.
