Chapter 60 — An Angry Wife and an Unexpected Date

Arnav stood silently for a moment after hearing Ritika's confession.

Then he walked toward her.

Before she could say anything, he gently held her face and kissed her.

Ritika was surprised, but she kissed him back.

When they parted, Arnav looked at her with regret in his eyes.

He slowly went down on his knees.

Arnav: I'm sorry, Ritu.

Ritika immediately bent down and hugged him.

Ritika: Don't.

She gently kissed him.

Ritika: I love you, but I'm still hurt because of you.

Arnav: Ritu—

Ritika: Don't talk to me.

She stood up.

Ritika: I'm going to my parents' house.

Arnav immediately stood and held her hand.

Arnav: You're not going anywhere, Ritu.

Ritika: Leave me.

Arnav: No.

Ritika: You hurt me very badly.

Arnav looked at her.

Arnav: Even after you confessed that you love me?

Ritika: Yes.

Arnav sighed.

Ritika: I can love you and still be angry with you.

Arnav couldn't help smiling slightly.

Ritika: Don't smile.

Arnav: I'm trying.

Ritika: I'm serious.

He looked at her for a moment and then suddenly changed the subject.

Arnav: My suit.

Ritika frowned.

Ritika: What?

Arnav: Who will keep my suit ready tomorrow?

Ritika stared at him.

Ritika: You can keep it yourself.

Arnav smiled.

He gently lifted her chin.

Arnav: My dear Begum Sahiba is not going to her maika.

Ritika: Arnav, put me down!

He lifted her into his arms.

Ritika: This is your damn office!

She looked around nervously.

Ritika: Everyone is seeing us!

Arnav: That's not a problem.

Ritika: Arnav!

He carried her toward the office door.

Arnav: Kritika!

His assistant immediately looked up.

Kritika: Yes, sir?

Arnav: Handle everything today.

Kritika looked at Ritika in his arms and tried not to smile.

Arnav: I'm going on a date with my angry wife.

Ritika: I am not going on any date!

Arnav: You are.

Ritika: No!

Arnav: Yes.

He finally put her down near the elevator and held her hand.

Ritika gave him an annoyed look.

Arnav: Come on, Ritu.

Ritika: I'm still angry.

Arnav: You can be angry on the date.

She tried to hide a smile.

Ritika: You're impossible.

Arnav: And you're still my wife.

They reached the car.

Arnav opened the passenger door for her.

Ritika reluctantly got inside.

Arnav closed the door, walked around and got into the driver's seat.

He looked at her.

Arnav: Ready?

Ritika crossed her arms.

Ritika: No.

Arnav smiled.

Arnav: Perfect.

He started the car.

And the two of them left Qureshi Industries for their first proper date as husband and wife.
