CHAPTER FIVE
(flashback continues)
Soon after few hours, she started to become warm, as she was near the fire, both the fires, the wooden fire and Arjun himself. The colorless face she had, started to become a bit pinkish, the color returned and her form now looked at peace.
---
Soon it was evening, the fire died an hour ago even though Arjun woke up several times to add more logs in it but then he too was tired and didn't notice when the sleep took over. Riya wakes up and sees Arjun sleeping on the near by chair and she herself sleeping on the couch. Her head shook a bit and she held it lightly to maintain her vision. Last thing she remembered was she locked in the balcony and then her name being called!
She inhaled sharply as she remembered what happened, He came! For me!
And then she remembered some blurry visions of him calling out to her, to keep herself in conscious. And then she remembered how he rubbed her hands, how much worried his hands were! They were cold themselves but still tried to create warmth. Just for her!
She tried getting up from the couch but before she could get up, she fell back on it. The faint sound of her falling made him jerk up from his sleep.
He bolted up and held her small form to himself. He hugged her, not intentionally though but he did, by mistake, as he forgot for a while that he needed her to be away from him.
Riya closed her eyes and let her heart feel the warmth she wanted to feel from ages, his warmth. She felt his arms holding her like she imagined every night, before sleeping. She just wanted him to embrace her and sleep like this forever! Riya was lying on the bed and Arjun was hugging her. Soon her emotions got turned up and as her heart started beating like a maniac and was on verge of bursting out, she couldn't control but cry out of happiness. She soon sobbed and Arjun held her tighter. Riya too tried to embrace him, but he was so muscular and she was so weak that she could barely move her arms.
Arjun felt her shaking again as she sobbed, he thought she was cold again. He quickly broke the hug and saw her, her tiny nose, red with sobbing. His heart reached out for her and he made her lie on it again as he was holding her a bit above the couch. As the warmth of his arms was removed she felt cold too.
Riya's back touched the cold base of the couch and an unknown fear engulfed her, fear of loosing Arjun again.
"Riya," Arjun asked as he saw and touched her face, "Riya, are you okay?" the love and care was dripping down from each word he spoke to her and Riya again got overwhelmed with happiness.
"I, I – am fine." Riya said, but as her throat was dry her voice was hoarse and she gulped down slowly to make it better so she can speak.
Arjun saw her doing that and rushed for water on the side table. He poured a glass and looked at her, he will need to pick her up, in order to make her drink.
Riya looked at him and then the glass of water. She knew she was thirsty and to drink water she needed to get up, but how? She gathered her courage and tried getting her palms near her waist in order to put her weight on them and get up, she was going well but then she fell on the couch again. Arjun quickly held her up and made her sit by giving her the support of his hand. His hands on her waist gave sparks to her veins.
From the other hand Arjun fetched the glass and made it lay on her dry lips, Riya bowed her head down and tasted it, it felt like heaven, water never tasted so good! She then drank it like a thirsty baby. It was like she hadn't had water from ages! Some of water drops slipped out and formed a line from her lips to her chin. She was so thirsty she bent her head more into the glass in order the access the liquid on the bottom but Arjun took the glass away and poured again in it, so that she can drink nicely. He held her back firmly, and the glass on her lip made him feel jealous. He wanted to take it away and break it! The way she was trying to lick it!! DAMN! But then he thought- What am I thinking!?
She finished drinking and took a deep breath, she was weak and tired. She laid her head on his shoulder and partly on the hand he was holding her back from. She was now at peace. Her thirst, both of water and love, started to get fulfilled.
Arjun slowly as if she is the most precious thing, put her on the couch again and covered her with the blanket. He saw the drop of water still lying on her lip and some on the lower part of her face.
Nasty drops! Get outt!! Saying so in his mind he took his back of the hand towards her lips and cleaned them, removing even the traces of the droplets being there. His heart swelled with pride as he saw the angel in front of him belong to him, and HIM only!
Felling his hands lightly resting on her cheek, Riya tried to wake up and speak.
"Arjun, sir- don't leave me." she said in a weak voice and Arjun came forward towards her face and assured her.
"I am here," his breath tickling on her nose, "I will always be here." Saying so he leaned and touched her lips with his lightly, very lightly. Riya's head moved up a bit, so that she can touch them again. Arjun saw this and smiled a bit. He again touched her lips with his and moved away. He saw her eyebrow twitch in annoyance. He was enjoying it, her desperateness.
He then spoke on her lips, so that she can fell him saying the words, "Riya, I am sorry." He said and closed his eyes as they became teary by seeing her in this pain. Riya tried to say that she was fine and he should not feel sorry, "sir- arj-sir," hearing him call him with that formal salutation again panged a pain in his heart and he didn't wanted to hear anything further, so he kissed, he kissed in her remaining words.
His hands found his way towards her face and he held it firmly and kissed her deeply. Riya too was feeling it happen and tried responding back. He took in her lips and was just licking them in, trying to show his love, not dominance.
Riya too kissed him back and he couldn't hold on any longer, if he did, he will not be able to take her right here on the couch. He needed to let go! He felt her warm lips touch his for the last time and she drifted off to sleep.
Arjun on the other hand came back to his senses and moved away frightened as if stuck with a 1000 volts of lightening. He went away and saw her. She was fine now; he doesn't need to be there now. She will be all right.
He lit the fire again on the fireplace, incase she felt cold. And went away in his gym area. To bring out all the anger he had, but today he had that anger on himself!
---
It was evening of the third day now.
After a whole day of useless investigation, Arjun was in his gym, thinking where Riya will be, in which state, in which type of circumstances! He was sweating and the sweat beads were falling from his face and rolling down his body. His track pants and vest fully wet with it. It looked liked he had a bath with his cloths on. But this sweat was not out of workout, but out of tension. He was so nervous plus worried for her. Once he finds her, he is not letting her out ever! She will be here, locked in this house, with him, forever.
He punched the punching bag like he was imagining it to be Sikandar. He was punching it so hard that his knuckles were swollen. And the hand cover he used as punching gloves, were now half torn. With every single punch he was cursing himself, why did he do what he did! Why did he make her go away from him ever, when all he wanted was to love her from the start! He ever so selfishly made her go away and look, she is so far away now that he can't even find her!
He regretted every single moment he spent without her. He was so engrossed in his own world that he didn't even had time to see her for days! Why he dint paid any attention to her. Why he abandoned her so badly. WHY!?
He was punching the bag so bad that he didn't hear the phone ringing. He heard it on the third ring and controlled his breathing. And picked up the call.
"Hello" said Arjun as he took a long breath, hoping it to Rathore's.
"You stressed already! Well don't blame me, I am not the cause, she is!" said the voice and the voice was Sikandar's, he said as he saw Riya lying on the ground, dressed in a light pink gown, suiting her complexion.
"Soon it will be your turn to be stressed and I promise it will be cause of me!" said Arjun, as he held the phone closer to his ears.
"Oh well, I will wait for that day but I am a bit unsure of it happening." Said Sikandar.
"Me too coz I have no interest in making you stressed, all I am interested in is taking your life."
"Arjun, Arjun, Arjun! Do you know, I so love your attitude and I am kind of in love with your wife too. Ah, my heart reaches out for her every time I see her." said Sikandar in a tone like a teenager in love, provoking him.
"How I wish I could shoot your dirty heart until I see your soul leaving!" Arjun said gritting his teeth, terribly angry.
"ow, that hurt!" he said faking himself to be hurt by his words, "I didn't even touched your wife till now, just so that you'll be happy to know she is untouched, but you! You are so stubborn on provoking me! Don't you know the consequences?"
"Oh no Sikandar. Perhaps, you don't know the consequences of touching MY wife!" said Arjun but was a bit relieved by hearing that Riya was okay and Sikandar didn't—
"Temper, temper! Do you know Arjun, the only thing I like in you is your temper, the way it burns with the tiniest of spark! Its just amazing." Said Sik smirking at him and Arjun could hear him smiling.
"If you think it burns, then the day I get you, I will be on fire, and you, in hell! You have my word on that!" Arjun said smirking himself, as there was a silence on the other line, "what happened Sikandar, counting the person who may be eligible enough to accompany you in there!"
"I would have been disappointed if I didn't had a word with you Arjun! You give me strength to be evil, you know!" Sik said and mentally winked at him.
"What do you mean?" the calmness and the humor in Sik's voice was making Arjun's leg go cold and his hand shook at holding the phone to him. What was he trying to do? What is he up to!!
"Lets play a game, Arjun!" said Sik and the sickness was evident in his voice, "the old game of 'hide and seek', usually children play it, but since we are men, lets change the rules a bit, how's the idea, hun?"
Arjun knew there was more to it then it seemed, there is certainly a new way around to the thing he was trying to portray.
"Come on! Don't be a spoilsport! Agree to the game, Arjun! You know I don't like to make people agree to me, it makes me evil and it pains them a lot!" said Sikandar and saw Riya moving a bit from the ground where she lay. Sik smirked and went near her, she was lying on her stomach and her face was not visible. Sikandar held her hairs in his fist and yanked her head up, Riya, feeling the pain, cried out and Sikandar made Arjun hear her cry.
Hearing her helpless cry for help Arjun's anger roared and his veins tightened inside his body.
"I WILL PLAY!!" barked Arjun on the line and Sik smirked again.
"I told you, I don't like to make people agree to me." and smirked.
"Okay! I will! Now tell me!" Arjun said in desperateness, as he knew the game was not about hide and seek only, he needed to seek something else, coz he had played this game before, with him, but that time, it was not for Riya, and whatever happened with her, will not happen again, this time he wont let history repeat itself, and certainly not with his Riya.
"What is there to tell? You know the rules, don't you? Ah don't tell me you forgot!" said Sik faking his concern. "Okay let me tell you yet again!" saying so he started, "I will tell you a place where I have kept your girl. You will have to find her in 15 minutes. You can do anything! Any superpowers, Arjun?" his voice holding the poisonous sarcasm, "and that girl will be in that place, tied and drugged! If you fail, the girl is mine!"
"NO!!!" Arjun roared like a hungry lion and his fist clenched as he literally imagined Riya to be drugged and tied somewhere.
"Oh yes, Arjun Rawte! And I am so punctual in my timings, you lost with a mere second last time, don't forget!" Sik smirked as he said that and Arjun's face fell. "Your time will start when you reach the place. Don't forget, the second you place your leg on the ground of that place, your time will start! Hurry up Rawte! She's waiting." Saying so Sik touched her cold cheek and Riya couldn't do anything as she was drugged.
"Wait!" Arjun said, "which place!? Tell me which place!??" asked Arjun urgently.
"ahh, ask your techno guy, Arjun! Its been more than a minute he would have traced me till now, if he doesn't, too bad." Saying so Sik cut the call and Arjun's heart came up to his mouth.
