You\'ll be my Bridemade
After breakfast Hina was sitting with Li Eira and talking while Aryan came out of study with Shen Bu and joined them.
"Why your mobile is off Darla called Shen Bu and said she can't reach your phone", Aryan asked Hina.
"I didn't checked my mobile it still in my purse. Maybe it turned off due low battery. I'll check it", Hina said and was about to send up but Aryan pressed her down and said, "Wait".
"Jenny", he called.
"Go bring Hina's bag here", Aryan ordered.
"Yes young master", Jenny replied and left.
After few minutes Jenny came back with Hina's purse.
"Young mistress you purse", Jenny said and handed over Hina her beg.
"Thank you Jenny", Hina said and took it.
She opened her purse, found her mobile it was off.
"It ran out of battery. I'll put it on charge.", Hina said.
"Shen Bu give her power bank", Aryan said to Shen Bu than turned to Hina and said, "We have to go out for shopping it would be better to use power bank.
Hina noded, Shen Bu came forward and gave a power bank to Hina. She took it and connected with her mobile.
"Mum are you coming with us?", Aryan asked.
"I'm waiting for event manager to discuss some details you guys go first I'll join you with Melody after dealing with event manager", Li Eira said.
"Ok than we'll take a leave now", Aryan said, holded Hina's hand, stood up and left.
While sitting in a car Hina turned on her mobile. As soon as her mobile switched on she received Rija's call. "Hello"
"What the hell you are up to Hina, why your mobile was off when you broke up with Sam and how you became Aryan Gu's fiancé.", Rija shouted.
Aryan can hear her voice out of mobile, but wasn't paying any attention to it.
"Relax, it's a long story can't tell you on the phone", Hina said.
"Where are you right now. You haven't went back to aunt Helen's house she is also concerned about you. Sam is also looking for you", Rija said in anger.
"Hold for a minute", Hina said to Rija then turned to Aryan she hesitated for a second then plead, "Is it possible to invite Rija to join us for shopping actually she is worried about me I want to tell her everything in person please".
Aryan didn't looked at her and directly ordered Shen Bu, "Take us to Rija's house".
"Yes young master", Shen replied than ordered driver to drive there.
For a minute Hina was in daze, Rija shouted impatiently on phone, "Hina will you answer me?".
Hina still didn't said anything, Aryan noticed her puzzled look took mobile from her hand and talked to Rija, "We are on our way. We will be at your house in 15 minutes".
"Ah OK we are waiting", Rija replied in shock.
Aryan hung up the call and stuff mobile back in Hina's hand. Hina didn't said anything to him there was pin dropped silence in car.
On Rija's side
As soon as call disconnected Rija stood up from her bed and ran down to kitchen to inform her mother, "Mum Hina is coming in 15 minutes with Aryan Gu".
"What you just said?", Maria asked in shock.
"I just talk to them Aryan Gu said they will be here in 15 minutes",Rija explained.
"Oh OK go call your father and ask him to come back home we must talk to Aryan Gu after all we took Hina's responsibility", Maria said.
"Ok", Rija said and made a call to inform her father. William said he will be back as soon as he can.
"Mum dad is coming", Rija informed Maria.
"Ok listen do me a favour", Maria said while walking to living room.
"What you want me to do?", Rija followed her and asked.
Maria took her purse, paper and pen from bookshelf. She wrote down something on paper, took out money and gave to Rija and said, "Go to supermarket buy these items and come back soon. I have to prepare lunch for them".
"Oh OK I'll be back soon", Rija said and left. Maria went to kitchen and started preparing for lunch.
After exact 15 minutes of their call Aryan rang the door bell of Rija's house.
"William check the door", Maria shouted from kitchen.
"OK", William replied and went to open the door.
Aryan Gu and Hina was standing at the door behind them was Shen Bu holding some gift.
"Uncle", Hina greet and hugged William.
"Hina thank God I finally saw you do you know how worried we were", William gently pushed her away and said.
"Hello uncle I'm Aryan Gu", Aryan introduced himself.
"Hello I'm really sorry please come in", William said politely.
Aryan noded and come in Shen Bu followed them. Shen Bu placed the gifts on coffee table in living room and left, Aryan and Hina sat in living room, Maria and Rija came out of the kitchen.
"Hina", Maria shouted and rushed towards her.
Hina stood up and hugged her.
"Where were you?", Maria asked.
"I'm so sorry aunt Maria I got busy and forgot to tell you about my whereabouts", Hina explained.
"You idiot you scared us to dead", Rija complained and hugged Hina.
"I'm really sorry actually we were busy with engagement preparations and didn't have a chance to talk to you that's why we came here today to compensate", Aryan Gu said,
"Hello aunt these are some gifts to show my gratitude for taking care of Hina". Rija and Maria greeted him.
"You don't have to do this", Maria was speechless, she can't accept these. But Aryan insisted and she had no choice but to accept it.
Than Maria asked them to stay for lunch Aryan didn't reject and stay for lunch. He dropped a message to Melody informed her that they will join them for shopping after lunch.
"Mr. Gu can I take Hina with me for a while", Rija asked politely.
"You don't have to be so polite to me, we are family now. We came here for you so of course you can take her with you but be ready after lunch join us for engagement shopping", Aryan said.
"Me but how can I", Rija hesitated.
"Why not you'll be my bridemade so it's natural you'll help me in shopping", Hina said.
"Well", Rija was still reluctant.
"Go with them after all you are Hina's only friend. It's your responsibility", Maria said.
"Hm well OK. We are going in my room then", Rija said and pulled Hina towards her bedroom.
"Mr. Gu", William was about to say something but Aryan interrupted him, "Uncle we are family please call me Aryan".
William smiled and said, "Aryan I don't know how you to met and planned to get married. If Hina is willing to marry you I respect her decision but I just want to tell you she is an innocent child. She suffered a lot after her father's death I hope you'll keep her safe and happy".
"Uncle don't worry I know everything. I promise you I'll give her everything she deserves", Aryan reassured.
"Aryan I know you are a gentleman, Hina used to be engaged to someone else in the past. She loved him so much I don't want happened that she chose you over him. But I hope in future if she ever face her past you understand her", Maria said. She is most scared of this thing, she knows a man like Aryan has high nose and he can't bear to listen his woman name with another man if in future Hina met Sam how Aryan will react.
"I understand what you are worried about. I don't think Hina told you that Sam cheated him", Aryan said.
"What", Maria asked in shock.
"Yes he has a relationship with his boss because of which Hina broke with him. The day when we decided to be together I promised myself that I'll never allow anyone to hurt her again and that's my promise to you too no one can hurt her again", Aryan said.
"I didn't like Sam and his family they never valued Hina. It's good that she knew his reality before marriage", William said.
"But Aryan in this case you have to be show more patience to her. She lost so many many relationships, each one of her closed ones abandoned her. She will be really insecure now and reluctant to be in any new relationship", Maria said.
"I know but don't worry I'll never leave her. I chose her and now it's my responsibility to keep her by my side wilfully. Don't worry I'll never let her gave up on our relationship.", Aryan said.
William and Maria felt relaxed after talking to Aryan.
"Well than I'll prepare for lunch you guys talk. Aryan what would you like to have tea or coffee", Maria asked.
"Tea will be fine" Aryan replied.
Maria noded and went to kitchen. William and Aryan kept on chatting.

"Hina are you really going to marry Aryan Gu", Rija asked in shock.
"Yes", Hina replied.
"But you loved Sam", Rija said
"He never respected me he was cheating with me. And was proudly accepting it front of me", Hina said and tears fall down from her eyes
"What are you saying", Rija said with concerned and holded Hina's hands
