Ren looked a little hurt and then he said, "Even though I prepared them a while ago, it was upto me to give them to you when you clearly asked someone else . And I will never avoid you for no reason" . He swiftly left without looking at anyone .
Ria was much more irritated as she saw him leave the studio . She stomped her foot and sat on the nearby sofa . Her friends came closer to her . Ashley asked as she let out a sigh, "Don't you have a photo shoot to do?" Ria gave her a glare and didn't say anything as she stared at the doorway .
Ren shook her head and sat next to Ria, "What he said is right, Ria . He didn't have to give those to you if he didn't wish to . Remember my words . He took the first step, now the ball is in your court . Now go, get him" . She gave a pat an Ria's shoulder . Ria looked at her and the other two .
She took a deep breath and gulped some water from the coffee table . She gave Ren a hug and walked towards the door . She suddenly stopped midway and turned around with a relieved smile . She said looking at Lucy, "Get those two marshmallows here and . . . . "
She looked at Peggy with a hesitating smile and said, "Can you get their clothes here?" Peggy nodded in response while Lucy squinted her eyes at Ria . Lucy thought, 'Why does she ask her nicely while I get ordered around! Hmph!' Ria took a few steps and again turned around to look at Melody .
Before she could say anything, Melody said with a smile, "We will get them dolled up . Don't worry . Now go!" Ria nodded her head and walked out of the studio . Ren was not in his resting room, she walked towards the elevator while she thought about where he could be now .
"Sister-in-law!", Darren's voice was heard as he rushed after her . Ria stopped and turned around to look at him . Darren panted while he said, "Brother has not left the office" . Ria smiled at him and gave a slight nod . She entered the elevator and waved at him as she titled her face .
Darren smiled and waved back . She always felt that this one was adorable like a little brother always choosing her side . Now, she had to face that guy . She thought about various ways to talk to him but she didn't know what that hurt expression was about . She was a bit afraid thinking that he might hate her .
Still . . . . he is her one true love .
She sighed and walked to the next building as she exited the elevator .
. . . . .
Inside the office, Ren was freaking out . He got red headed at that moment and dashed out . Later it started to sink in for him . Even though he is angry and hurt, it can't change the fact that he wanted to marry her .
She really stole his breath away with that looks of hers .
Still when he heard the remark from her mouth, he felt wronged and then everything started to get twisted in his mind . He so badly wanted to hug her and do more things to her at first but he lashed out at her instead . Remembering how she looked calmed him down .
He was leaning on his office desk with his hips and hands support . He heard heels sharp sound as the entire corridor was silent . The sound stopped at his entrance . Ren turned his head towards the door .
"Ren? Are you there?", her soft voice was heard . He smiled but his hands slipped and he slided down . He landed on the floor with his butt . As soon as she heard the 'thud' sound, Ria rushed in . He was so embarrassed that he didn't raise his head . Ren thought, 'Why didn't I lock the damn door?'
Ria thought 'He feels so sad that he is even sitting on the floor' . She felt bad as she walked towards him in her high heels and helped him to stand up . Ren didn't look her in the eye to not give her any clues otherwise she would laugh her guts out .
As she was holding his arms, Ria said with a worried voice, "I'm sorry . Whatever it is, I'm sorry . Don't be sad" .
'Don't hate me', Ofcourse she said this only in her mind .
Ren lifted his face and looked at her, he was met with her worried face and nearly teared eyes . He hugged her without saying anything and Ria accepted his embrace in silence as well .
After few minutes, Ren's voice was heard, "I was really worried when you didn't come home . If only the kids were not with me at that time, I would have arranged for a search party" . She hugged him tight and mumbled, "Sorry" . Ren replied with a hmmm as he kissed her hair .
Before Ria could say anything, Ren said while burying his face in her collarbone, "I'm sorry too . For not trusting you, I . . . I was . . . I . . . " Then he didn't say anything and kept quiet . There was it, that tight feeling in her throat as if her throat was drowning in sorrow .
She pushed him gently and cupped his face . She then whispered, "You were?" He lost it, looking at her face . No pride can win before those teary and lonely eyes . He kissed the edge of her eyes as he cupped her hands on his face and said with a tired voice, "I feel insecure, Anna" .
Ria's eyes turned sharp as she asked, "You think I will fall for someone else? How many times I have to say that . . . " Ren shook his head and interrupted her, "It's not about that" . Ria raised one his eyebrows at him, Ren kissed her forehead and went down on her .
Her first instinct was to step back and she shouted, "What are you doing?" Ren looked up and said pointing at her shoes, "Don't these hurt?" Ria let out a sigh and nodded . Ren lips curled up and he helped her remove it .
As she was barefooted, he lifted her up and made her sit on the office table . She didn't mind it and asked, "Why do you feel insecure then?" Ren looked straight into her eyes and asked, "Do you still love me, Ria?"
