INDIAN BRIDE OF ROYAL PRINCE

Chapter - 21 Gets mesmerized...

Penthouse

At Evening,

Ernest was talking to his assistant James on the phone."James, arrange a new home for me, so by the time I'm back here, all my belongings should be moved... Got it."

"Yes, sir," came the voice from the other side.

Ernest hangs up his phone and throws it on the bed, and stands by the large window.

Ernest clenched his fist angrily, "Dammit, this is the worst day of my life, first that land problem and now that Liam, he had to come today, "he takes a deep breathe, "But, first of all, I have to solve the problem of that land because I don't want any kind of problem in my mother's dream, even if he is my own maternal grandfather, but even before that, I have to show that sly girl her place... After all, she has messed with Ernest Edward Arthur."

Then he heard a familiar voice behind him, "Big bro, "He turned his back to that voice and saw Aaron and Elena standing there.

"What are you doing here this time?" Ernest asked as gazing at both of them in a confused look.

"Brother, you're going on a business trip again, aren't you?"Elena asked as coming towards him with the help of her cane.

"Yes, Elena," said Ernest, holding her hand, "why are you asking?"

"Because we wanted to spend time with you, that's why." She sat down on the sofa as holding his hand, asked in a gentle voice, "Have we bothered you?"

"No, Elena, you can never bother me," said Ernest, sitting beside her and caressing her head.

"And me, brother?" Aaron said as coming towards them.

"You too, Aaron," said Ernest.

He smiled as hearing him and asked, "Brother, why were you looking angry a while back?"

"No, Aaron, I was just stressed out by my work and nothing else," said Ernest.

"Where's Ryan? He didn't come with you."

"He's busy with his OT, brother," said Aaron.

"Bro, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? As Edwin Brother was saying, you're going to leave in an hour, but―"

"Since I've changed my plans, I'll leave here at 7:30 instead of 6:30. So I have an hour."

"Can we help you with your packing, big bro?" Elena asked.

"No, Elena, my packing is already done."

"Now tell me, what do you want?" As Ernest can see she has been playing with her fingers for a long time since she arrived.

"Big bro, that..."

"Yes, say, Elena, what do you want to say?"

"Big bro, she wants to eat your handmade spaghetti and meatballs today and she's not telling you, because you're going on your business trip and she'll bother you if she asks you to make spaghetti for

herself, " said Aaron in one breathe as gazing at Ernest.

"Hey, why are you thinking like that, I'll definitely make spaghetti and meatballs for you as you want to eat," said Ernest, rising from the couch.

Elena swings her right hand in the air and tries to hold his hand and said, "No, Bro, It's ok, Aaron bro is saying anything, it is not like that, I just came to meet you."

Ernest said, "Even if that is the case, I will still make spaghetti for you."

"Brother, for me too," said Aaron.

"Of course, little brother,"

.....

Elena and Aaron were spending some time with Bruno as Ernest was making spaghetti for them.

After a while, Ernest placed the bowl in front of them both and said, "You both have your favorite spaghetti and meatballs because I'm getting late, so I'm going to change my clothes."

"Thank you so much, bro," said Elena.

Ernest smiles.

"Brother, are you taking Bruno with you?" asked Aaron.

"Hmm,"

"Brother, won't you eat the food?" Eli asked.

"No, I'll take my dinner in my jet, you just have your dinner comfortably," said Ernest and left.

Later, Ernest comes to the hall where Elena and Aaron were sitting.

"Aaron, take care of Eli," said Ernest.

"Of course brother," said Aaron, "but you also take care of yourself."

He nodded and walked towards Ele, "Ele, always beware of strangers and take care of yourself."

He said with a smiling face, "Yes brother."

Ernest caressed her head and kissed her forehead and said, "Goodbye, dear," and begins to leave." Big Bro," said Elena."Huh?"

He turned his face towards her." Goodbye, bro, I'll miss you," said Elena, hugging him, and a lonely tear came out of her eyes.

Ernest wiped his tears and said, "I'll miss you too, Ele, and don't worry I'll be back soon,"

"Promise, brother,"

"Promise."

Ernest left with Bruno from there.

....

Morning...

Ruhi was standing near the window and gazing at two birds feeding their little cuties babies.

"How lucky are they? As they have their own parents to care for them, as in my life my own mother never understood me nor gave me mother's love like them, and father, I don't even know anything

about him. As Choti maa doesn't tell me anything, and from the rest, I don't dare to ask, but I hope these little cuties always remain happy in their life as now, not like mine," a lone tear escape from her eyes while thinking.

Meanwhile, Reema entered her room and saw, she was gazing outside. She went near her and placed her hand on her shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Ruh, what are you looking at?"

Ruhi turned her face towards her and her eyes had drenched with her tears, "Nothing, Choti maa."

"Well, It's nothing, then why are these tears coming from your eyes?" she said as wiped her tears.

"That... something had gone in my eyes, Choti maa, that wind is blowing isn't it."

"Don't tell a lie," and she looks outside to know, what actually she was looking outside? She saw those birds outside, and understood her inner turmoil, "Ruhi, that's why you're feeling sad, aren't you?

"No―"

"Ruhi, you are my own daughter, so never think, you are alone. I'll always be beside you," she said as cupping her face.

"I know, Choti maa, But I always think why Maa doesn't love me and Papa, I don't even know anything about him," said Ruhi, and tears welling up from her eyes.

"Ruh, I already told you when will the right time come, you will get to know everything, dear."

"But when? Choti maa."

"Patience dear ... Patience," she said as embraced her and thought, "Ruhi, I don't want to tell you anything, which broke your heart."

"Ok, now go and get ready as you have to go Palace. Hadn't you told me yesterday that Businessman is coming today, so I hope, your all problems will be solved today." She said while she was feeling dizzy.

"Don't know, Choti maa, we will know only by going there... Ok, I'm going to get ready."

As she started leaving, she saw that Reema was staggering and her eyes were closing and she was fainting.

"Choti maa," she screamed and hold her on time and patted on her cheek as laying her floor, "Choti maa, Choti maa, wake up, Please..."

Ruhi got scared and trembled in fear and was patting her continuously.

In a few minutes, Reema regains her consciousness and saw her, who was crying for her.

"Ruh, Don't worry, I'm ok, maybe my bp got low, that's why I got faint. So don't worry, I'm ok now."

"Thank God, Choti maa ... You are fine, I got scared badly," she said while embraced her, "Choti maa, you are my only family member who loves me unconditionally, so pls take care of your health for me...Please."

I hope Ruhi, you got a life partner who cares for you more than me," Reema thought in her mind as patting her back, "Leave me, Ruh, you are strangling me."

"Sorry, Choti maa, I'm sorry," she said as releasing her.

"Choti maa, Let's go to the doctor," said Ruhi while standing up.

"No, Ruhi, I'm alright...you go and get ready as Kavya would be waiting for you," she said as standing up.

"But Choti maa, You―"

"I'm fine, Ruh, don't worry....now go, and support your best friend, Kavya, as she has always supported you,"

"Ok, Choti maa, but please take care of your health and take leave from your school and rest here."

"Ok, my mother...now go," she said, smiling.

She hummed and went from there to change her clothes.

Reema also went from there.

Another side...

Ernest came from his luxurious private jet with Bruno, and saw, Noah and Sonu (landowner) were already standing there.

"Welcome to India, Sir," said Sonu with a sheepish smile as coming towards him and stretched his hand to shake with him.

Ernest stared at him and leave him behind, and said in a dominant tone, "Noah, Lets' go to the palace."

Sonu gulped to hear a dominant and deep voice of him and felt a shiver went down her spine and thought, "I think, I should stay away from this man."

"But sir, Bruno?" Said Noah as gazing towards Bruno.

A man comes while running towards them and stretched his hand to hold Bruno's chain and said, "Sir, I'll bring Bruno along with me."

"Ok, Take care of him," said Ernest while giving Bruno to him.

Later, Noah sat in the driving seat and Ernest sat in the passenger seat in the luxurious car.

"Noah, speed fast. I want to arrive there as soon as possible...Got it."

"Yes, sir."

.....

"Ruhi, your idea of going to the temple was good, I hope all goes well with us now," Kavya said, smiling.

"Hope so, Kavya, and now hurry up, we are getting late," said Ruhi.

While Ruhi and Kavya were looking for an auto to reach the palace, Ruhi noticed that a child was running towards the road to get his ball and a car was coming at a high speed.

She ran towards that child and hugged that child while sitting on the road. Meanwhile...

"Screech"

All people looking towards that voice and Kavya runs towards Ruhi, and Noah stopped the car abruptly to see them and Ernest leaned forwards and shouted, "What the fu*k happened? Noah...Why you stopped the car abruptly?"

"Sir don't know from where a child and girl came on the road that's why I have stopped the car," he replied.

"What?" Ernest shouts and tries to look outside but he couldn't see anything as there were many people standing," Go and looks outside what the hell she wants."

Noah came outside and when Kavya see someone was coming from the car, she starts shouting at him," What is the use of taking such an expensive car when you do not know how to drive?"

"Kavya, calm down, don't shout at him," said Ruhi.

"Look Miss, I was driving safely, where did this baby and ma'am suddenly come from, I don't know and you should take care of your baby more than screaming, and BTW, I'm not the owner of this car,"

"What? baby?" she got shocked," hey, he is not my baby, you moron," kavya shouts in loud voice." When you are not the owner of this car then you should not drive this car."

"To hear the commotion, Ernest came out from the car and saw two girls were standing there and arguing with Noah but she couldn't able to see their faces.

"What the hell is going on here?" Ernest shouted in a very deep voice.

Kavya and Ruhi's breathe got hitched to heard his voice and both of them turned towards that voice and saw a man who has a great physique, sharp jawline, broad shoulder, muscular body, and was a strong aura around him which was enough to make anyone's shiver down in their spine.

Kavya didn't say anything further to see him, and Ruhi goes after Kavya to seeing him, but Ernest didn't see her.

"What the hell happened? ... tell me dammit."

Noah stuttered, "Sir, that..."

"Sir, he was driving carelessly and he was about to collide that child with the car, but my friend, Ruhi has protected that child," she said with a little bit of confidence and dragged Ruhi in front of him.

Ernest gazes at Ruhi, who had kept her head down, she slowly raises her head, then Ernest sees her hazel eyes, pink lips, and waist-long hair. She wore a black suit with an orange chunri. She looked really beautiful in what she was wearing and Ernest gets mesmerized by her, and he got mesmerized by someone's beauty for the first time...

"Sir, she is my friend, Ruhi, who has saved that child from your driver," said Kavya.

Ernest's trance got broke and looked towards kavya.

"Look, Miss, I'm not a driver―"

"NOAH, say sorry, and Let's go, I'm getting late, dammit," said Ernest in a loud voice.

"Sorry, miss," said Noah to kavya who was smirking towards him and clenched his fist.

Ernest went from there and sat in his car again.

"Kavya, I guess it was no one's fault," said Ruhi.

"I know, Ruh, but that driver, don't know, what was he thinking of himself? But his boss was more intelligent than him." she said as grinning, "Didn't you see how he said sorry to me on one of his boss words."

"But kavya, I'm feeling a cold aura around him and he was looking arrogant too, I got scared of him for the first time to heard his deep voice."

"You're right Ruhi, I was also feeling like that, but Yr, he was incredibly handsome. isn't it?" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ruhi nodded without hearing her as she was lost in his own thoughts...

"Ruhi, you also consider him handsome. Wow, for the first time you called a man handsome."

"No Kavya, it's not like that..." She said while shaking her head in no.

"Ruhi, but I think he is a foreigner because I have seen him here the first time, Isn't it?"

"Hmm"

"Let's go, Ruhi, we are getting late to reach the palace." said kavya while dragging her along.

....

Ernest's Pov

"Who was that girl? Behind that heavy eyelashes her hazel eyes, her pinkish glossy lips, and her waist- long hair, she was looking dazzlingly beautiful in that black clothes...

"While I was lost in her thoughts, I heard Noah's voice, "Sir, we have arrived" and he gets off from the car to open the gate for me.

"F*ck, what the hell? I'm thinking, damn it. No one ever attracted me that much? What the hell happened today that I was lost in her thoughts." I groaned to remember that.

"Ernest, just focus on your work, dammit." I thought and gets off of the car.
