Fate

11. ILL Her!

Ayesha.

As we waited for someone to open the door for us Rehaan held me close to himself that I don't shiver out of cold. Sweet. It was taking longer than necessary to open the door so I simply rested my head on his shoulder.

"You want to go home?" He asked taking my hand in his and I looked up just to see his stubbled jaw. It was the fourth time he's asking the same question. Caring but annoying!
"It's just a matter of an hour or two. I'll manage." I assured and he intervened our fingers

"If you wish to leave anytime just tell me." He said pressing his lips on my forehead

"Stay by my side." Caressing my hair he whispered softly and I nodded when finally the door opened showing off the gigantic and the beautiful mansion.

"Hi. Come in" Jiya greeted and I straightened up before passing her a bright smile
"Hi." I said, my voice came out raspy and Rehaan helped me inside

"You fine?" She asked in a soft whisper and I nodded
"Ahh. Finally." I heard an unknown voice and I looked at the elder version of Rehaan Rajvansh and smiled at him, politely. His father.

"I knew it. Rehaan's always late for dinner." Supriya aunty came closer and I looked up at him through my lashes while a shiver ran through me remembering the way he behaved with me

"No, actually it was-"
"-Traffic." Rehaan completed my sentence and I looked away from him frowning. Dude scared the fuck out of me just to cover up for me. Weirdo.

"Yeah, actually it's awfully heavy today." Commented Armaan and my smile actually brighten seeing him. He's the sweetest of all.

"Hi bhabhi." Armaan greeted and I couldn't help but bite my lower lip to hide my embarassment hearing the way he address me. Breathe.

"Hi, Armaan." I waved at him just to feel Rehaan's hold on me tighten
"Bhai, come on leave her already." Armaan teased and his elders chuckled except for the one beside me. Well, he was drilling holes in Armaan's skull.

"Ayesha, welcome." Supriya aunty ignored her sons and came closer to me just to hold my face in her hands
"Thank you aunty." I muttered withdrawing my face from her hands. I am ill and that shouldn't be the news! Come on that's embarassing as fuck!

"Why is your face burning hot?" She asked me again bringing her hand on my cheek

"It's like that only." I said hesitantly and internally cringed at my own words. Who the hell has their face hot all time?
"Oh." She chuckled suspiciously glaring at Rehaan questioningly

"What? I didn't do anything." He defended himself almost immediately and I looked up at him with my eyes narrow. Right, Supriya aunty is my weapon against him.

"Is he lying?" Came his husband on his wife's side and I heard Rehaan sigh
"No. He didn't do anything." I whispered, unable to understand why was I even defending him. Maybe because I just came inn and can't start complaining? Yeah and again, I am ill because of me not him.

"You are clearly defending him." The eldest brother, Dev Rajvansh rose his eyebrows at me and I shifted closer to Rehaan. Nevermind. Both the brothers are scary bastards.

"Stop scaring her. I also defend you." Jiya scolded her husband and his stable expressions moved to her away from me while she shrugged grinning

"Kids." Supriya aunty muttered and I smiled out loud because laughing felt a little too energy consuming

"Let's eat and, you", Supriya aunty suggest and turned to the man holding me from falling while all eyes drifted to him including mine
"Go freshen up." She ordered but instead of leaving he looked at me concerned
