Chapter 15

PART 10 :

2 weeks later :

Shilpa groans hearing the loud knock on her door... She knew it was Armaan... Like everyday he must have come to get her to do exercise...
She hated his new routine.. After she recovered from the accident he took her for regular exercise everyday... She felt upset when she was with him.. He was again changed.. Back to his arrogant attitude... He avoided her.. And she didint remember when they were close in this 2 weeks... And this irritated her most...
Shilpa come out of her thoughts when she hears a click.. Before she knew the door was open and Armaan barged in without a warning.. Shilpa quickly gets up and looks at him stunned by his actions... Armaan who came to scold her freeze in his spot seeing her in a revealing night gown... He never imagined he would ever see her in such a way... He always found her beautiful but today she was looking more irresistible... Shilpa feels her face color out seeing him stare at her ... Hesitantly she looks at him and notice his gaze dropping down to her body... Instantly she become aware of her revealing gown.. Soo she quickly wraps herself in the blanket...
Armaan comes out of his dreamland and moves uncomfortably... He wondered why the hell he couldnt just keep his gaze of from her... There was always something enchanting about her which pulled him towards her...
Avoiding his demon thoughts he moves upto her and pull her out of the bed... Shilpa frowns... " What are you doing... ? "
Armaan leads her to bathroom and push her inside.. " Everyday you make excuse.. But not today.. Go and change noww... "
Shilpa protest... " No... But... "
Armaan close the door on her face... " I mean it... You have 5 mins... "

After 10 mins :

Armaan keeps jogging in a first pace while Shilpa tries to keep her pace close to him.. But she felt too tired... She had no stamina like him.. She kept cursing him while jogging... Armaan notice Shilpa slowing her pace so he stops... " Now what happen... "
Shilpa complains... " I am not strong like you... I cant run... "
Armaan folds his arms and speak calmly... " Thats why i am bringing you to do this.. To make you strong... "
Shilpa sits down on the bench... " I dont want to be strong... "
Armaan... " You will have to... And u need to do this soo you can recover fully... "
Shilpa looks at him annoyed.. " But this is soo damn boring... Everyday jogging... "
Armaan looks at her amused and thinks for sometime... After several minutes he speaks... " Ok.. lets go to gym.. and try out some exercise there... "
Shilpa frowns unhappily... " Gym.. Uhgg No way... "
Armaan shakes his head and grips her arm and drags her to the gym...

Shilpa looked around unhappily.. Not liking what she saw... She hated when she saw all the gym equipments... Armaan walks up to her.. " Soo shall we start... "
Shilpa looks at him innocently... " what do i have to do... "
For a second Armaan couldnt resist the look on her face... " Umm since u are new here.. We will try with some dumbbells... "
Shilpa nods and takes out a dumbbell which was small... But as she lifted it she was shocked that it had big weight.. She tries to balance when Armaan comes from behind and hold it for her... he starts to move his hand with her doing the arm exercise... Shilpa felt uneasy again being close to him.. His musky scent playing havoc on her... Shilpa tries to concentrate on her exercise but she found it difficult... After several minutes of silence Shilpa tilts her head and speaks... " Why do you always avoid me... "
Armaan surprised by her question looks at her calmly... Without saying a word he concentrate to his work...
Shilpa again speaks... " See you are avoiding me again... Cant you tell the reason... "
Armaan speaks harshly... " You dont need to know anything... And didint i tell you to stay away from me... You should mind your own business.. "
Shilpa moves away from him hurt by his words... She hated when he was rude with her.. She throws down the dumbbell in anger... Armaan looks at her startled by her behavior... In anger Shilpa speaks... " I knew it.. You always regret when you come close to me... How stupid was i to stay back here... Believe in you.. I should have gone back to my town... I hate being in here... I hate you... "
Armaan speaks softly... " Shilpa... I didint mean to hurt you... "
Shilpa speaks in tears... " Ya right... Thats why you are soo rude with me... Why did you kiss me then.. Why did you come close to me.. i hate the way you effect me.. I hate it... "
Shilpa starts to walk away in anger when Armaan stops her... She tries her best to struggle to get out of his grip... " Leave me.. I said leave me."
Armaan irritated by her behavior jams her to the wall.. He moves closer to her and speak.. " Shilpa.. plss calm down.. "
Shilpa spat in anger... " I dont wanna talk to you.. Leave me.. "
Armaan tries to control her... While Shilpa keeps hitting him trying to move out of his grip... Without a warning he kiss her hard to make her silent... Shilpa tries to struggle to move out.. But his grip was too firm ... And now the kiss was making her too weak... He kiss her demanding for her response.. The kiss was rough yet passionate...
As he move out of the kiss Shilpa looks at him breathing hard... But then she understands his trick... Soo before Armaan could speak she gives a tight slap on his face... Armaan stunned by her actions stare at her...
Shilpa speaks angrily... " Dont touch me... I dont want to be close to you... Everytime you hurt me like this.. But not anymore.. I hate you Armaan.. I hate you... "
Shilpa walks out leaving behind Armaan in a confused state...

Armaan set silently on the stairs... In all darkness he sat there alone not thinking about her words... Surely he have hurted her a lot... His rude behavior has hurt her... He felt guilty for that... He wished he could take back everything... Now he couldnt deny that he had feelings for her... Armaan too lost in his thoughts that he doesnt realise when Shashank came and set beside him...
Shashank puts a hand on his shoulder to gain his attention... Armaan looks at him surprised... " Sir... What are you doing here.. this late... "
Shashank looks at him and smiles... " Even i could ask you the same question... What are you doing here... "
Armaan shrugs his shoulder... " I am just thinking over something..."
Shashank... " Soo.. Atlast you fell for her.. I knew it..."
Armaan looks at him surprised... " NO... There is nothing like that... How can u be soo sure..."
Shashank chukles hearing him... " I could clearly see it from ur eyes... I could see love in them... "
Armaan sits silent for sometime... Then he speaks softly... " But I cant do this... you know it very well... "
Shashank speaks calmly... " Remember Armaan... Remember the talk we did... You were told if you ever fall in love that means you have got your true love... You seem to have forgotten but i do remember... Armaan .. I just have one advice to give... Dont let true love go soo easily... Plss... "
Shashank goes leaving behind a stunned Armaan... How could he forget those words... But now everything was much clear to him... No backing down now... He knew what he had to do now...
