Chapter 3

Much to Arjun's dismay, Tanvi was liked by everyone in his house and their marriage was fixed in a month. Much to his surprise, his engagement was fixed in a week. He had whined in front of his parents and grandmother to delay the wedding but when the priest had announced, "There is no auspicious time in their kundlis for another two years except the upcoming month", he was enraged.

He wanted to postpone the wedding for another two years and in the meanwhile, he could have find an escapade but his grandma was adamant to get him married in the coming month.

Having belonged to a traditional household, Arjun was irritated with the customs and rituals. He had poured his heart out with Deepak as he expected some help to delay the wedding atleast if not cancel it, but much to his sorrow, Deepak had outrightly rejected the idea of helping him. Deepak was actually happy to see his friend getting settled in his life.

Right now, Arjun was sitting with a frown on his face in his office where his personal investigator, Raman was coming up with the investigated profile of Tanvi. As of now, Arjun had decided to prevent all the damage and ensure Tanvi was the right girl for his family. If she was actually a gold-digger, he could simply reject her stalling the idea of marriage for a while.

As far as his relationship with Tanvi was concerned, he was not sure of anything except the fact that she would actually be a feisty wife and a sexy one too. He decided to test her and then make the right decision.

Closing his eyes, he relived the image of Tanvi with her gorgeous pink lips and a perfect body as he craved to feel her against him when there was a knock at the door.

Arjun was elated when Raman came in and handed him the file that contained the details about Tanvi. From there, he gathered all the requisite information about Tanvi.

Studied in a convent school, Tanvi was indeed, a simple girl who lacked a big friend circle. Arjun was ecstatic to find that Tanvi had never been into a relationship before. Somewhere, the idea of being her first in everything, gave him immense joy and a jolt of electricity ran down his spine. After knowing that she was passionate about teaching and helped underprivileged kids in studies, Arjun realized she was the right one for her. He was happy to find that she was not after his wealth rather she possessed a golden heart to help the underprivileged kids by teaching them free of cost despite belonging to a middle class family.

Once Raman left, Arjun realized his wedding was fixed with a gorgeous girl who had a beautiful heart. He decided to test her more and planned to take her for shopping for their engagement.

He knew getting permission from his grandmother was a daunting task but he also knew how to get things done.

With smirk plastered on his face, he called his grandmother who received his call instantly. Exchanging pleasantries, he spoke, "Dadi, see I am marrying girl of your choice."

Shikha, who was watching an old movie paused the screen, and replied, "She is a good girl, Arjun. Trust me, she is the right one."

"Dadi, I need to meet her once again", Arjun pleaded.

Shikha was an orthodox woman. She did not know if the priest would allow this meeting or not. Fumbling, she said, "No".

Arjun pleaded like a kid and after a cascade of pleadings, his grandmother said, "I will tell her father that I have an appointment with the doctor and Vandana is accompanying me. Since, we have already planned the shopping affair tomorrow, you can accompany her. I just hope he should not deny."

Arjun chuckled, "Thank you, dadi", disconnecting the phone.

He was soon engrossed in work when his secretary Rwitik entered his cabin with an intimation of a meeting with new clients based in Delhi. The meeting continued for an hour and finally the deal was sealed. Arjun was exhausted. He ordered for his black coffee and rubbed his forehead when his grandmother called again to share a happy news.

"Arjun, her father agreed. You can take Tanvi to the date tomorrow at five in the evening." Shikha squealed and Arjun was amazed.

"Thank you", he muttered as he asked his grandmother to share Tanvi's contact number and decided to talk with his girl.

"Are you falling for her?" The rational side of his mind mocked at him but he explained himself that he was not falling for her but since she was a perfect wife-material, and he wanted his trophy wife to be perfect in every sense. He wanted to be sure that she was not a gold-digger and hence, the idea of taking her for shopping was truly perfect.

Shikha was truly happy when she found that her grandson was taking interest in his to-be wife. As soon as Shikha shared Tanvi's number on WhatsApp, Arjun saved her number with 'My Girl ?'.

Arjun was free for a while. He was sipping his coffee so he decided to call her up. Dialing her number, he wondered if she would receive a call from Private Number or not.

Tanvi, who had just finished teaching the underprivileged kids was walking back home when her phone rang. She scrunched her cute, button-like nose looking at a Private Number. She would have never received such a call if she was not getting married to the freaking billionaire, Arjun Singhania. She received the call and spoke softly, "Hello, who is it?"

"You should not forget your husband this soon, dear to-be wifey", Arjun spoke cheekily and cringed at his tone. He wanted to know the true Tanvi and hence, he decided to play the facade of a guy who was okay with getting married this soon.

"O! Mr. Arjun Singhania, let me make you clear that you are not my husband yet", Tanvi spoke in a feisty tone and Arjun could not help but admire her melodious voice. On the other side, Tanvi could feel the heat pooling down there when she had imagined the idea of being Arjun's wife.

"Babe, Dadi is visiting the doc for her regular check-up tomorrow with mummy so I am taking you shopping", Arjun chortled.

Tanvi was baffled at the idea of going out alone with Arjun. Not that she minded but she was a bit uncomfortable with the idea. Cautiously she said, "Arjun, shopping is not really important. If Dadi is not well, it is okay. As far as shopping is concerned, I will manage."

Arjun chuckled as he realized Tanvi demanded money to purchase accessories for their engagement indirectly. He smirked as he spoke, "Okay then, send me your account details. I will send money, dear wifey."

As much as Tanvi liked the endearment, she despised the idea of taking money. She was an independent woman and she never preferred taking money. She wondered why that stupid man had to think so low of her. She bellowed, "Stupid, idiot, Mr. Show Off, remember I have saved enough to purchase my wedding dress and jewelry so I don't need your money".

Arjun was surprised. He realized that he had thought wrong about her. She was not a gold-digger for sure. Realizing that she was a genuine girl and a perfect wife-material, he wanted to give things a chance. He had not moved on with his past but he did not have a heart to despise Tanvi amongst all the girls. He decided to go with the flow. He guffawed, "Honey, your dress for our engagement and our wedding has to be from our side so be ready tomorrow at five in evening. I will pick you up from your house."

Tanvi smiled at the cheesy endearment as she said, "Okay".

Before she could disconnect the call, Arjun ordered, "Tanvi, wear red tomorrow. It is my favorite colour."

Tanvi smiled. She liked the way he ordered her and surprisingly, his orders made her wet down there. She was elated to wear red for the next day but she decided to tease him bit.

"No, I will wear black", Tanvi chortled.

"I will turn you crimson then", Arjun mumbled huskily sending shivers down her spine.

Tanvi gulped as she tested his patience. Chuckling she said, "I will wear pink".

"I will make you wet then", Arjun mumbled in his raspy voice leaving her aghast. She wanted to tell him that she was already wet but she knew it was not the right time for all this dirty talking.

"I will wear red", Tanvi mumbled as she quickly disconnected the phone while Arjun just chuckled.
