Chapter 8 No going back.

It was half past four and they were still clicking pictures, After the enormous amount of pictures they've clicked, they were now asked to feed each other food, it was supposed to be a ritual and Anayra was so pissed off at the moment that she stuffed a big piece of chicken into his mouth making everyone giggle. She smirks mischievously, Only Shreyas knew her true intentions. It was meant to hurt him; he chews it with great difficulty and finally ate it. He smirked when it was his turn to feed her. He started feeding her so much of food that she might vomit if he feeds anything extra. And she preferred to do it on his face.

After the fare well from her parents, Anayra was made to sit in his car. The ride to the Oberoi Mansion was horrible for Anayra. She was finding it very hard not to cry. She laid her head to the side of widow and lets out a small sob.

"Why are you crying now?" Shreyas asked her in an annoyed voice.

"Why should I not? You ruined my peaceful life, Shreyas Singh Oberoi! You ruined it completely." she snapped at him venomously. He just gave her an amusing look and leaves her alone. And she's so thankful for it.

Shreyas sighed, this girl is so dramatic and arrogant. She's in fact the female replica of him minus the dramatic part. All females whom he had encountered were dramatic. So, he can't exactly blame her.

•••

"We've reached." she heard him speak. She blinked her eyes fighting away the tears and got down from the car.

And surprisingly he held her hands tight, she looks at him confusedly. He just shrugged. He never fails to surprise her. Ever.

They both were welcomed into the Oberoi Mansion grandly. Shreyas' mother Priya engulfs them both into a bone crushing hug once they stepped in the house and kisses Anayra's forehead lovingly.

"Welcome my daughter in law. I hope you will treat my son correctly and make this family happy." Priya told her lovingly. While Anayra nods her head helplessly. She can't say no now, can she?

"I'm hoping to become a grandma soon." she winked making Shreyas cough. While Anayra was stunned listening to her statement.

She was having a repeat flash of her first wedding and the exact same words were told to her by Ayan's mother once upon a time. She tried hard not to cry.

"Mom, they must be tired. Sister-in-law, come-on I'll show you the bedroom." by saying this Hasini took Anayra along with her.

Shreyas felt glad but they both stopped walking suddenly, turning around Hasini smirks mischievously at him, and he knew she's up-to something.

"Mom! We almost forgot about the last ritual. Remember, the one where the groom carries the bride till his room. Come on Shreyas, perform that one as well." Hasini smiled making Shreyas groan inwardly.

"Yes, Shreyas let's do it." Priya also agreed. He looked at his father searching for a help. But he raised his hands telling he can't help. Without having any option, Shreyas walked towards Anayra and lifts her in his arms.

His family looked at them both with adoration while he was walking upstairs. Anayra was so enjoying this, she looks at him with a mischievous smirk and he huffs as he continued walking.

"You can't feel my weight, isn't it? " she asked him with a giggle making him frown.

"Oh yeah... You're enjoying this aren't you?" he asked with annoyance.

"Of course, how can I miss this chance of seeing you in pain." she spoke like a sadistic soul making him wonder if she's always like this or is he any special to receive such a behavior from her.

"Where the hell is your room, by the way?" she asked while taking a look upon her surroundings. It was freaking beautiful.

"It's in the fifth floor." he replied with a groan.

"Oh..." she couldn’t contain her laughter, making him even more irritated.

Shreya made an act of dropping her down, in reflex she caught hold of his neck for a support. That's when they both realized their closeness and proximity.

It was the very first time that they were this close, their lips almost touching. She got to look into his eyes. It was so mesmerizing. Words cannot describe its beauty. But she averts her eyes in embarrassment. While he ignored whatever just happened.

"Shut up or I'll drop you down." he threats her with a serious look on his face.

"Oh yeah, I'd like you to try." she replied with a smirk while taking away her hands from his neck.

After what felt like eternity, Shreyas finally kicked open his bedroom door and entered into it with a sigh of relief. And he literally dropped her on the floor smirking evilly. He really did drop her down.

"See, I told you." he said while smiling evilly and walks into his dressing room leaving her all alone.

Anayra whines in pain as she got up angrily, she took a moment to glance at the whole room, it was big. Beautiful and classy. So different from hers. She prepared everything in light colors. While he liked everything in dark. His bed was double king sized, and the mattress looked so soft and comfy. From what she understood, he looks like a neat freak. But she is the complete opposite. Oh, well.

Anayra sighed, she's now married to someone else and the thought alone was so suffocating. Did she do the right thing by marrying him? Was she right by following her instincts? The main reasons why she married him was not because her dad forced her to but because Anay took a promise from her that she'd move on once he's gone and it was time for her to fulfill it. But the question is, will she will be able to move on and forget Anay completely? No. That's a big no. But she got to try at least. Not for herself but for the sake of her loved ones.

Just then the water mug caught her eyes and a mischievous smirk appears on her face, she takes the lids off and waited patiently for him to get changed. And the moment he stepped out; he was welcomed with the splash of water.

"What the fuck?" he shoots her with a look of disbelief while she was quite flattered with herself.

"Rule number one: do not mess with Anayra Raichand or the consequences will be worse." She smirked while pulling her imaginary collar.

"Are you crazy? I just changed my dress." he yelled at her angrily.

"Do you see me giving any damn?" she asked with an eye roll making him groan in frustration.

"You are so impossible." he muttered under his breath.

"So I've been told."

"Listen Shreyas Singh Oberoi, next time you plan on doing something stupid like dropping me or something be well prepared for facing the consequences, got it? Now excuse me. I gotta change." she said with a smirk and walks past him to the dressing room not before hitting his shoulders with hers accidentally.

"What have you gotten yourself into Shreyas?" he asked himself while groaning internally.
