It All Started With A Forced Marriage

It was already 10. They had their dinner. After that, no one feels sleepy. Riyan and Arhaan were watching some cartoons while Ariya was sitting on the recliner using her phone.

Riyan stood up and asked, "You both aren't feeling sleepy, right?" He asked the both of them, and they nodded yes.

"How about a horror movie?" Riyan asked.

"Yes, I am in," Ariya said excitedly.

"I am not," Arhaan said .

"Yeah, bhai, I know you are scared of horror movies," Riyan said, rolling his eyes at him.

"Rii, it's not like that, okay," Arhaan said, his gaze fixed on him.

"Yeah, I know you very well," Riyan said and turned towards Ariya.

"Smally, you know, bhai is scared of horror movies," Riyan said, giggling, and Arhaan was glaring at him hard.

"Riyan shut up; I'm not scared." "All right, let's watch your so-called horror movie," Arhaan said as he rose from the couch.

"Bhai, you arrange food items. I am checking all the essential things in the theatre room," Riyan said, and he nodded and went to the kitchen.

Ariya went to the bedroom and changed into comfy nightwear, and tied her hair in a bun.

She took her phone and went to the theatre room. She saw Arhaan was using his phone, and Riyan was checking something.

"Which movie, smally?" Riyan asked Ariya.

"Annabelle comes home, evil dead or the nun," she said, giving them options.

"No, not evil dead!" Arhaan exclaimed, and Ariya looked at him as if he were an alien.

Riyan giggled, seeing Arhaan's face. "Okay, Annabelle comes home," Riyan said, bobbing his head and turning on the movie.

But Riyan sat beside Arhaan while Ariya was also beside her patidev (husband), as Arhaan was in the middle between them. But Ariya maintained a good distance.

They started watching the movie by having cheese puffs, popcorn, and cold drinks. Arhaan was actually getting scared, but he made a stern expression. He wanted to use his phone, but his evil baby brother had already snatched it.

Riyan uploaded a picture on his Instagram handle.

"Bhoo," and the bowl of popcorn fell from Arhaan's hand as Riyan scared the shit out of him.

"Riyan!" Arhaan yelled, and Ariya laughed loudly.

"Bhai got scared," Riyan said, laughing and high-fiving Ariya.

"I am not scared. Okay, that's just a misconception," he said sternly and continued watching the movie.

And finally, the movie got over, and Arhaan sighed in relief. Poor him. He didn't know the plan of his evil little brother.

"Hey, smally, let's watch The Nun," Riaan said.

"No, no, it's late. It's already past midnight. We should sleep," Arhaan said, shaking his head no.

"I am not feeling sleepy," Riyan and Ariya said in unison.

Arhaan said to them, "Ariya, you have college in the morning, and Ri, you have to go to the office."

"Aahaa, it's alright. I am not feeling sleepy. I want to watch that movie," Ariya said, looking at him.

"Bhai, don't take tension. I will be there on time. Let's watch this movie together," Riyan said like a baby.

"Okay, fine," Arhaan said, sighing in defeat.

They turned on the movie The Nun and started watching while Arhaan was looking down, or sometimes here and there.

The lights of the theatre room were also dimmed, and it was scaring him more.

It was already the second half of the movie when he felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned and smiled, seeing Riyan sleeping like a baby, keeping his head on his shoulder.

His body literally got jerked up, feeling a weight on the other shoulder. He turned, and his eyes widened as he realized Ariya was also sleeping. He smiled as he saw her sleeping soundly. He took the remote and turned off the movie.

For the first time, he looked at Ariya's face, her chubby cheeks, her eyes, and the mole on her brow, his gaze shifted lower and locked on her lips, her pouty kissable lips.

He wanted to feel these lips.

He wanted to feel those lips against his.

He wanted to suck those petals.

His one hand encircled her shoulder as he gazed at her face, and soon he also drifted into a peaceful slumber.
