Ishq sukoon hai

38

[Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G]

Everyday for the last 5 days, Shivaay has been flirting with Rupali, sending her flowers and little gifts. Rupali was getting quite carefree around Shivaay now.

She had been crazy about Shivaay since college, and now after years, getting so much attention and affection was all she ever wanted. At this moment she didn't care about her plan. Shivaay liked her, he liked spending time with her, she was on his mind, that's all she cared about.

Today she has invited him over to her place. Shivaay was seated at the dining table with Rupali

Rupali: Shivaay, i think we should dance on some latest romantic number for the sangeet.

S: Whatever you pick is fine with me Rupali, we can start rehearsals right away.

As they ate and talked, Shivaay spilled a glass of water on his clothes on purpose, making it look like an accident

S: Oh crap

Rupali: oh no shivaay your clothes are wet. Come, clean it up in my room, I'll get my hairdryer.

S(in his mind): Yes! Just what I needed. I need to see where she could have hidden the proof.

He followed her to the room. She pulled the keys out of her pocket and unlocked the door. Shivaay mentally registered the key for the door. The room was tastefully decorated. Shivaay looked around mentally making notes of all the drawers, cupboards and windows.

Rupali: Here, use this towel shivaay, i'll get the hairdryer

She unlocked her cupboard, shivaay peeped inside. There was no safe inside but there were some files lying inside. Before he could look any further, she locked it. She plugged the dryer in a socket and dried shivaay's clothes.

She was lost looking at shivaay, blowing warm air out of the dryer. Shivaay did something he wasn't proud of. He placed a loose lock of her hair behind her ear. Rupali blushed at his touch, she was lost in his kanji eyes. Shivaay placed his palm on her cheek.

S: You're really attractive Rupali, you have a certain charm

Rupali: Thanks Shivaay

S: Yeah, I haven't met anyone like you before. Oh wow , you're blushing,  soon to be Mrs Oberoi

Rupali blushed even more

Rupali: My heart feels warm listening to you say all this

Shivaay couldn't handle it anymore, he decided this much charm was sufficient for now

S: We should go, my clothes are dry now. People might misunderstand seeing us here

At Bhavya's place later that night

Shivaay drew an outlined sketch of the room and marked the key of the room as well as the cupboard

S: She had some files in the cupboard, the documents could be among them. I couldn't see anything else. And we still don't have any clue about the confession video

Ru: Woah bhaiyya, I can't believe you managed to get into her room.

S: Shut up Rudra, I don't want to talk about that. I feel so dirty

G: you're doing it for a greater cause bro, just a few more days. Drown her in your kanji eyes, charm her out of her wits.

S: i swear she looked at me like Rudra looks at his favorite chocolates
