----------------

The grand double doors of the Raghuvanshi mansion swung open with a loud creak as Saanvi stormed out, her face was red with embarrassment. Her fists clenched at her sides, her entire body contorted with barely controlled rage.

Her scooty was parked right near the driveway, and each step towards it was filled with unspoken tension that filled the air earlier, a flow of curses directed to the one and only-Aniruddh.

Saanvi rode her scooty furiously, her fingers gripping the handles so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"Asshole." She muttered under her breath, yanking her helmet off the scooty's handlebar and jamming it onto her head a force more than necessary.

She was furious-at him, at herself, and at the entire situation.

"Why did I even come here?!" She muttered to herself as her scooty engine roared to life.

The Raghuvanshi mansion loomed behind her, but she refused, looking back. Her fingers tightened around the accelerator. She had come to just return his stupid hoodie. That's it.

But like always, whenever things involved Aniruddh, it spiraled into something much bigger, much messier.

Even though her eyes were on the road, though her mind was still stuck on the dark, brown gaze, which were locked with her moments ago, the tall frame standing infront of her, caging her between him and the table infront of the whole family.

She shook her head, shaking the thoughts away. "What are you thinking, Saanvi Oberoi?!"

She mumbled furiously under her breath as she sped through the streets. The cool air whipped her face, even though that wasn't enough time cool, the conflict going inside her.

Her mind kept drifting back to, the eyes burning into her skin, the way his fingers brushed slightly against her while giving the hoodie and the way his dark eyes unwavering, like he was trying to understand something, like he was reading her as if she is an open book.

Her heartbeat stuttered,"Bas!" She growled, shaking her head again as of trying to erase the memory.

(Enough!)

Lost in her anger, she did not notice the red traffic signal ahead. A sudden, blaring honk snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Oye! Dekhai nhi deta kya?!" A biker yelled as he was just inched away from crashing into her.

(Oye! Can't you see?!)

Saanvi gasped and hit the brakes hard, her scooty skidding slightly before coming to rest. Her heart thumped in her chest as if it would come out any second.

"Damn, Arghhh!!" She gritted her teeth as she let out a frustrated sigh.

Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself and drove the rest of the way home, silently though her mind was a chaos.

🤍

Aniruddh sat in his dimly lit study, staring at his laptop screen in front of him. Despite the thought he was having right now.

The black eyes locked into his, and her smirk fading made a surge of victory wash over him, the slight touch of her fingers and her rosy, pink parted lips.

"I could have easily-" Aniruddh shook his head violently. "Kya soch raha hai Aniruddh, pagal ho gaya hai kya?!"

(What are you thinking Aniruddh, have you gone mad?!)

He drifted his gaze back to the laptop screen, where the numbers and reports blurred together, but his mind kept playing the same moment.

Her furious gaze and her warm breath hitting his chest as he caged her against the table. He clenched his jaw and leaned back, running a hand through his hair.

"Fuck it." He muttered under breath. "Kya bakwas soch raha hoon main?"

(What rubbish am I thinking?)

It wasn't anger- it was irritation. He is irritated because, at the fact that he, Aniruddh Singh Raghuvanshi, who was known for his absolute dedication, and his concentration, can not focus because of that one stubborn doctor-Saanvi.

Why the hell was his mind stuck on the way she looked at him? The way her body stiffened under his touch? His mind ran through all those thoughts when suddenly a sharp knock brought him back to reality.

Ekash popped his head inside from the door,"Ajau?"

(Should I come?)

Aniruddh didn't look up from his laptop,"Aaja."

(Come.)

Ekash and Aadarsh walked inside, exchanging, knowing glances before looking at him.

"Kya chal raha hai, nawab,bade bechain lag rahe hai?" Aadarsh said in a light teasing tone, sitting on the couch.

(What's going on, Nawab, you look very restless?)

"Kaam." Aniruddh said dryly.

(Work.)

Ekash sat on the edge of the bed as his smirk widened,"Kaam, matlab yeh laptop sirf showpiece hai?"

(Work, This laptop is just a showpiece?)

Aadarsh smirked,"Aur waise, janab ko dekh ke lagta nhi hai, ki woh Kaam mein dhyan de pa rahe hai."

(And by the way, looking at him it doesn't seem that he is able to concentrate on his work.)

Aniruddh exhaled sharply,clearly annoyed, "Bakwas band Karo tum dono!"

(shut the fuck up you two!)

Ekash grinned and couldn't help but tease him further,"Waise bhaiya, Aap na actor ban sakte ho." He chuckled,"Kya scene tha, ek shabaashi toh banti hai."

(By the way brother, you can become an actor. What a scene, it deserves a pat on the back.)

Aadarsh chuckled,"Saanvi ka chera Pura laal ho gaya tha. Ek number, epic tha."

(Saanvi's face had turned completely red. It was number one, epic.)

Aniruddh leaned back, a smile crept into his lips as the thought of her body against- he shook his head shaking of the thought,"Hai hi dramebaaz. Woh toh meine usko chup karwa diya tha." He smirked proudly.

(She is a dramabaaz. I made her quiet.)

Ekash's eyes narrowed as he now turned his gaze towards the file in front of him,"Aur uske baad se, abhi tak wahi ek file leke baithe ho, or ek page bhi nhi palta." He smirked.

(And since then, till now you are sitting with the same file, and not even a single page is turned.)

Aniruddh shot him a glare,"Seedha point pe aa."

(Come straight to the point.)

Aadarsh grinned,"Point yeh hai ki, hamare janab, for the very first time in his life, clearly distract ho Gaye hai."

(The point us this, that our janab for the very first time in his life is clearly distracted.)

Aniruddh scoffed and turned his gaze towards the laptop screen,"I'm not distracted. I'm irritated. There is a difference."

"Or woh irritation, Bas ek doctor ki aankhon tak limited hai na, right?" Ekash smirked.

(And that irritation is limited till one particular doctor's eyes. Right?)

Aniruddh's jaw clenched,"Esa kuch nhi hai!" Adarsh and Ekash exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.

(There is nothing like that!)

🤍

As soon as Saanvi entered her home, she slammed the door behind her and stomped into her room.

Siddharth, who was laying down, lazily, lounging on the couch, raised an eyebrow at her dramatic entrance. A slow smirk spread across his face as an idea popped up. He followed her inside her room.

"Kya Baat hai Saanu? Itna gussa." He teased, leaning against the doorframe. "Ab mere bhole, bhale dost ne kya kar diya?"

(What's the matter, Saanu? So much anger? Now, what did my innocent little best friend do?)

Saanvi shot him a glare,"Chup hoja! Mujhe already bahut gussa aa raha hai!"

(Just shut it! I'm already annoyed and angry!)

Siddharth folded his arms, clearly not backing down.

"Haan dikh, raha hai. Lekin mujhe yeh samajh nhi aaraha...gussa kispe hai, Raghuvanshi mansion Jane pe Ya....kisi ko dekhne pe."

(Yeah, I can see that. But tell me are you angry because of going to Raghuvanshi mansion or because you saw someone.)

Saanvi stiffened for a moment, her mind wandering back to the thoughts she threw at the back of her head and promised not to think about it. The dark brown orbs, the touch of his- she shook her head.

"Tera dimag zyada nhi chal sakta hai." She glared him. "Zyada sochne ki zarurat nhi hai!"

(You're brain can't work so much. So don't stress your brain.)

Siddharth walked over and casually flicked her forehead, making her frown. "Acha, toh mujhe Nanu bata rhi thi-"

(Ohh, Nanu was telling me something–)

Saanvi's face turned red before Siddharth could proceed she cut him off,"KUCH NHI HUA HAI!!"

(NOTHING HAPPENED!)

Siddharth narrowed his eyes knowingly,"Mtlb sahi mein kuch hua hai."

(That means something really happened)

Saanvi shot him a glare,"Tu khud Bahar niklega, Ya mein dhake maar ke nikalu?"

(Will you get out yourself, or shall I kick you out?)

Siddharth laughed, holding his hands up in surrender,"Theek hai, Theek hai! Par Saanu, Bas ek Baat bata...Jab Aniru-"

(Ok, ok! But Saanu, just tell one thing... when Aniru–)

"CHUP! BILKUL CHUP!" Saanvi's patience snapped, and she threw a pillow at him.

(Shut up! Just shut up!)

Siddharth dodged it effortlessly, still grinning as he made his way out of his room,"Your reaction is everything that it takes to know."

Saanvi groaned and flopped onto her bed, burying her face in her pillow.

"I'll kill both of them someday! Jaan ke dushman."
