Kria & Rey FF #2 (Ch 3 ,P 1 , Pg 140) - Page 8

Part 23 - B

Rey finally stopped and looked at Kria to see her reaction .. had she believed him .. yes .. she had tears in her eyes ..

Rey held her hand "I am sorry Kria .. I know no one must have ever hurt you more than me in your whole life .. I am the worst "

Kria wiped her tears and smiled .. this was the smile Rey had longed to see .. it just made his heart light .. he knew everything would be fine now .. she said "Yes ,you hurt me .. but, no one can ever love me more than you in my entire life "

She came closer and placed her head on his chest .. they remained for a long time in that position .. she felt calm hearing his heart beat .. it felt as if it was singing Kria's name .. she smiled once or twice in between ..

She bit her lower lip .. there was one question which was itching her .. Finally she looked up at him and asked .. "Did Cindy kiss you ?" … Seeing her wide innocent eyes .. Rey couldn't help but smile .. He shook his head in negative .. cupped her face in his hands .. "No .. I have given those rights only to you " .. she saw his eyes .. he was speaking the truth .. but again she asked "Did you kiss her ?" .. he was serious "My lips will only obey one person .. that is you " ..

"But , I saw you and Cindy in the canteen .. What was that then ?" she inquired ..

"That was nothing " .. he tried to avoid her gaze …

"What do you mean nothing .. I saw you making out with her .. " she cupped his face in her hands and made him look in her eyes .. "Reyaansh .. tell me .. "

He shrugged his shoulders and twitched his nose "I wanted you to hate me .. "

"What " she was confused ..

"Actually I met Andy a few days before that incident .. he told me about how you are not taking new projects and are always aloof and not focussed .. I thought if you see me with another girl .. your hatred towards me will increase and then you will focus all your energy on your work and studies .. "

"How do you know me so well ?"

He couldn't help but smile at her ..

She looked in his eyes .. she could see the love .. care for her .. she felt she could never love him as much as he loves her .. a tear escaped her eye ..

"I had seen you many times in my train .. when I used to return late nights from work .. what were you doing that time ?"

His smile disappeared " There were times when I missed you very badly .. I didn't know what to do .. so I just thought if I sit in a corner in the train then I can see you at least for sometime .. "

She hugged him tight with all her might .. and cried on his shoulder .. she felt light after a while .. "I missed you too " .. she said while sniffing …

He caressed her face " I love you "

She smiled wholeheartedly .. "I love you too "

After a while ,she became serious again and said "I want to tell you what happened with your Dad .. you may not believe me .. " .. she was a bit sceptical ..

"I now know whom to believe .. " he had kind of guessed what must have happened..but he wanted to hear it from Kria ..so that she feels relieved after just letting out everything …

"Kria , you are exactly like how Rey described to me .. one of the most beautiful girls I have seen .. I must say Rey has a great choice"

Again a shock .. why .. what was she expecting him to say .. she just couldn't understand this man .. was he complimenting her or was that a taunt .. she felt there was no connection between his words and the voice .. his voice didn't seem to have any emotion ..she was confused about this man's behaviour .. she managed to say "Thanks .. "

He went on " I hear you are fiercely independent and ambitious girl .. Whatever you have achieved is based on your own strength .. admire you for that "

Kria was totally confused .. Reyaansh has told his Dad all about her .. but why .. did Reyaansh want his Dad to talk to her .. what is it .. she smiled at him .. what was she supposed to do ..

"Kria ,would you go to any extent to achieve your dreams ?" he asked sarcastically ..

"Yes, I would go to any extent which is in my hands .. I will try to surpass my limits " she confidently replied .. but she was not sure why there was sarcasm in his voice ..

" So what are your plans after MS ?"

"I want to be the lead designer for the top website or animation making company here "

"Hmm .. Rey plans to join us back in our business "

This surprised Kria a lot " But ,Reyaansh wants to start his own venture .. he told me that "

"Ha .." he gave a short laugh "That's for just impressing his gals … I guess .. he always wanted to join me "

Kria couldn't believe what she was hearing .. will Reyaansh lie to her .. he had been so passionate and motivated about his dream ..

" Its you know ..family values .. that counts for him .. maybe you won't understand this .. as you don't .." he left it incomplete deliberately ..

Kria shot up .. "You can't pass that comment without knowing me "

"I don't think I need to you know you ... a girl who can have a live in relation with a guy who is already engaged .. what can I expect from her .. I can understand your character easily .. Also gives me an idea how your parents would have been"

Kria stood up .. she was glaring at him .. she controlled her tears .. Kria you are not going to cry in front of this insensitive inhuman .. he means nothing to you .. he can't hurt you .. no one can .. you are not going to show your weak side to him ..

"I can hear anything against me .. but not a word against my parents .. What do you know about them .. you are not even worth telling .. I am just tolerating you because you are Reyaansh's Dad .. not anymore .. you can leave now .. " .. she was shaking like a leaf .. she was boiling inside .. her anger was easily visible thru her eyes .. her face was red ..she had clenched her fists ..

He got up .. smiled at her " Rey had told me you are a hard nut to crack .. but I am sure he got what he wanted .. girls like you are not worth more than a night .. I wouldn't mind a one night stand with girls like you "

All thru when Kria was narrating him what happened .. he held her hand tightly .. he wanted to support her .. he could see tears welling up in her eyes ..

He was to be blamed for all this .. why did he let his Dad meet her alone .. he was disgusted with his own Dad .. He had never looked upto him but now he hated him ..

He gently wiped the tears which were flowing thru her eyes .. "No more tears Kria .. he is not worth even your hatred .. He is a sick man .."

Kria was shocked to hear this ..He was his Dad ..and such words ..

"I promise I will never let anything or anyone hurt you " he pledged ..

She saw the promise ..the determination in his eyes .. she was feeling secure with him ..
