Chapter 3A
The past week had been difficult for him.Dealing with Muskaan and Shilpa at same time and fighting with himself was not an easy task.He felt dejected.loathed himself every time thinks of how things were going.
Shubhankar was the only person giving him support.He was living at his place from last few days.he feels suffocated alone.
"armaan its been seven days.how long will you ignore her?atleast call her up.Iam tired of making lame excuses"
"than what do you want me to do?you know I cant.face her man.how will I look into her eyes.she thinks I have helped her.saved her family and here what am I doing.breaking her trust.such a pervert Iam"
"no you are not.oh.stop blaming yourself.you are doing this for her sake remember.and now please stop sulking around.its diwali a new beginning for everyone.and I want you to get over with these things for a change.come.take shower and then we will go to meet her.she invited us for dinner"
"you sure?I mean I.."
"armaan.go"
...
"I cant believe this.Iam seeing you after a week.I missed you so much."
His hands were shaking but feeling her arms tightly engulfing his body he felt relieved.She felt his hands slowly patting her back and looked at him.He looked pale and weak for some reason
"armaan you ok?you look pale.you have been eating well right?"
"he isnt.you know your fiance very well.he has always been like this.engrossed in work and staking his health"
"ah shubhankar.only you can be my saving grace.I know he s been working so hard.and I feel bad I have not been able to take care of him.you know how I have been busy in last few days.dad just got back home and.."
"dont worry.Iam here to take care of him.till the time you two get married and be with eachother."
The mention of marriage lit her face and his face hardened.He was eagerly waiting for this phase to come to their life and now.He feels scared.the thought of hiding something from her.was piercing him inside.
"Muskaan we need to talk"
"Later.come dad wants to see you.in fact you know me and mom told her how you have been helping us.and armaan"
"what is it muskaan?"
"I dont know how to say this but.remember I told you before how dad used to react hearing Shilpa's name before.armaan he was shocked when we told him how she was the one helping us out.finally I convinced him to meet her.its been long I wanted my family back armaan.she was always a part of us drifted away.i dont know the reason but now I want to get her back.I need your help armaan.you will help me na?"
He was numb.here she is planning to get her sister back in her family and how would she react finding out the drastic truth.no he cant let this happen.till now he was aware of Shilpa's nature and also that she wont leave any chance to disclose the truth to Muskaan.she can go to any heights to please herself.
"armaan.where you lost?you heard me right?
"a yeah.Muskaan.I dont think it will be a great idea.
"what?but why.you dont want me to get my sister back?"
"its not like that.see.she has been living away from you guyz for years and.uncle has not recovered fully yet.what if the matter gets worse?seeing her after years and I dont know what took place but.you really think this can mend the broken lines.atleast as of now.you should stop having this thought.let uncle recover then.you can take any step you feel like.Iam sorry I know my words are hurting you"
"no.they arent.you know how I consider myself lucky getting someone like you.who loves my family.thinks about them.I love you armaan.thanks for making me a part of your life"
...
"Its not a necesssity.but need Shayl.And I want him to beg for his need.he has to be on his knees in front of me.asking forgiveness every fu****g thing he did to me.he has to do that"
Sensing his entry she controlled the rage building up in her eyes.
"you go Shayl and get the work done.and ask them to get it done asap.I want this good thing to take place before diwali.afterall new year must start with good things"
"so upto destroying someone else's happiness now?cant you think of minding your own business for a while.always upto something or other"
"wow.I never knew you judged me.thisss.quickly"
That stare and the way she speaks rolling her tongue on mouth makes him feel stupid.
"dont be so dumb.judging me wont cost you anything but.this much quickly.I would say.would cost your thinking ability alot"
"Iam not here to challenge my ability that also for a shrewd mind like you."
"Oho then what are you here for.my prince charming?"
"I need to go out of town for some urgent work.its some official work.I will be back in a day or three"
"hm.well you are not allowed"
"excuse me?"
"yeah.you heard it right.you are not allowed to leave even for a day.then how can you think of three days?"
She was busy in reading some documents when he caught her from shoulders pulling her roughly up from the chair.He was short tempered and it was every time visible from his face.how her words affected him to this extent.she loved doing this to him.
"dont think of ruling my life.Iam not your slave.Iam repeating this.Iam here to fulfill this nonsense deal of yours for which you are paying money.just because I dont retor back you cant take me that easily."
"I dont want to take you easily.I so want you to make me feel how hard you can me"
She inhaled his cologne.a strong one.creating a sensation in her nerves.She poked her long slender nose in his cheek disturbing his body.
"will you please stop.doi..ing that"
He could hardly speak those few words.the effect her touch had on him.she easily defeats him in such foreplay.
"my one touch makes you as white as a dead limb Mallik.and you tell me how arent my slave?even your body responds to my commands.and so do you"
"I made my words clear.and Iam leaving now"
He pushed her aside from his way and walked back to the door.
"yeah go.and dont forget to get in the details from the happening party.your fiance must be so eager to tell you how she spent time with her sisterr.in the grand party.grand affair"
She knew it it.she has struck the right chords.He stopped and turned back to her when she gave him a confusingly funny look.
...
"Muskaan.whats the need.I explained you that day right"
"Oho armaan why are you getting so hyped.and Iam not making her meet dad ok.I told mom and nani they are okay with this.she sent special invitation for me armaan how can I refuse her.I can do this much for her.oh iam so excited you know.this is first time Iam attending such big party sort of thing.I mean such parties are hosted in grand ways na.big mansion big people from society.armaan you will be there?"
"a no.I cant be there.I have work"
"you and your work.leave it.Iam getting late now and tell me which color I should wear."
"you know which color suits on you best.I love you in that color only."
...
"RED.everything has to be red.starting from decors to people around this place.I dont want any mistake."
Shilpa Malhotra's party has to be the talk of the town.Like every year this event will be special not only of the grandeur she has to offer. because of many other reasons.she has been waiting for this opportunity for long.tonight was indeed a special night for her.
She checked out her designer dress.that time of years when she feels like wearing something traditional for a change.The long anarkali with stone work done on it was a classy selection of hers.It was blood red color.she hated red.for some reason she has to choose this color today.
