AnYa FF : I hate to love you. - Part 20 updated.

THREAD ONE

PART 17

Three days had passed since Anant acceded to Navya's demand. After that day, they have not talked much, but only once when she interrogated him for locking her inside his farmhouse. Most of the time, they were aloof towards each other; he used to go to his office even before she wakes up and come back after making sure that she had fallen asleep. His rudeness did not bother her much; she did not care about either his presence or absence.

Anant was running away from his problems, he was apprehensive to face his dad, he knew, it would not be easy for them to act in front of his family, it is a difficult task and after what he did, he was not at all ready to face anything.

When she said about the contract, it hurt him, he came to know the pain Navya would have felt on their wedding night, he cursed himself for being such a dork towards Navya. He even knows Navya wants to talk to him, but something was stopping him from doing it, he was afraid to face her, face her taunts. She is bringing vulnerability in him; he is exposed in front of her, even her smile hurts him when he thinks that he snatched it for a mere revenge.

He had noticed a change in him too, that he is falling for her irrevocably, he admitted that to himself. Navya is not making things easy for him, her presence near him brings out butterflies in his tummy, that she makes him nervous.

"Where the hell is he?" Navya muttered under her breath when the clock struck 12 am. She was adamant to talk to him tonight. Even though she had fallen asleep more than two times on the couch, her sleep never longed more than fifteen minutes.

She stood up from the couch and walked towards the door, another half an hour passed, yet Anant did not show up.

"What if something had happened to him?" a fear crept inside her slowly, she anxiously waited for his arrival.

It became 1 am when Anant came back. Because of the darkness spread in the hall, he could not see Navya waiting for him. As a normal night, he just walked towards her room to check on her, he has been checking on her before he goes to sleep. However, to his surprise, she was not in the room.

"Where is she?" he looked around the room, standing at the door.

"Are you looking for me?" The sudden voice startled him.

"What the hell Navya?..." he whispers-yelled at her after turning to see her, "... You just

scared me." He mumbled mostly to himself.

"Sorry,"

"Why are you still awake?" he asked little irritated.

They both were standing in front of Navya's bedroom, facing each other, in the dim light, they could not see each other properly, but could hear other's heartbeats.

"I was waiting for you."

Butterflies erupted inside his tummy when she said that. If Navya were not standing beside him, he would have jumped in ecstasy. He was happy beyond limits to know that she was waiting for him.

"We are meeting dad tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah! Don't come up with your meetings." After saying what she had to, she went up to her room and locked it.

Anant stood in front of her bedroom door without moving for a second. That is when it hit him that, it is time to face the volcano.

He smiled weakly and moved towards his room.

Next morning!

"Dad, did Bhai give you a call?" Ritz asked while descending the steps, urgently.

"When did he give me a call in the last six months?" Om scoffs at Ritz and continued to read his newspaper.

"Dad"

Om jumped out of his chair when he heard Anant's voice after many days.

***

I absolutely love this place, my house, where I lived for only a few months. Though the time I spend here is the worse phase of my life I love this place, the atmosphere, the love, the care, the warmth, everything about this place holds a huge share of my heart, I was in love with it. It would be a lie if I say that I never enjoyed being here, I did. Being with Ritz, Ranbir and dad were the best phases of my life. This place witnessed the best and the worse of my life. It has given me beautiful and at the same time haunting memories.

I was nervous to meet them, too nervous that I did not realize that Anant already moved into the hall. I stood at the door, staring at the place, from where my life started. The first time I entered into this house in the arms of my love, and I walked out of this place alone.

Many memories rushed into my brain, my marriage with Anant, the love I had for him, the memories I created with those two beautiful souls. As someone said, a relation can end, a person can die but the memories neither die nor end.

"...Navya..." Someone mumbled enough for me to hear, I knew it was Ritz. I did not grasp that I was inside the hall until she called my name. A sudden happiness with sorrow rushed through me when I breathe in this air.

"Oh my god Navya," Yelling Ritz rushed towards me in a jet speed, I stumbled few steps back when she hugged me. She squeezed me with all the strength she has, I could easily understand her state of mind.

No one spoke anything, there was pure silence, I was aware of the presence of Anant and dad. I did not look up, I could not meet the pair of accusing eyes, those were filled with unshed tears, they accused me of leaving them behind.

I slowly separated Ritz from me; her black eyes shined with tears, without saying anything I moved towards the one person who has always loved me more than anyone. When I stayed with him under the same roof I never tried to understand the relation I shared with Om Bajpai; undoubtedly, he was a father figure to me, but there was a connection between us, as I know him since ages.

I stood beside Anant waiting for a movement from dad; but he did not move from his place, I know he was shocked beyond to react. That was when I took a step, I must say a bold step, and I intertwined my fingers with Anant's. I could feel the tension build inside Anant. I pressed my palm against him to let him know that, it is going to be fine, I wanted a reaction from dad, and with this, he will react I know.

"Why did you come back?" He yelled at my face after a few minutes.

"You moved out of our life like we meant nothing, then why did you come back, Navya?" I shivered at the intensity of his anger.

He has the right to be angry, after all, I moved out of his house on that engagement day like they meant nothing, I didn't wait for anyone to meet or talk. I moved out, as that was my decision.

"I thought I loved you more than enough to share your problems, and you thought to hide what this shameless son of mine did to you?"

I cringed when he called Anant shameless, it is weird to hear someone calling names to the person we once loved.

"Dad I'm sorry. I know what I did was a big mistake, and I regret it, I really do." Anant spoke for the first time.

"You never treated us your own Navya, if you did then you could not move out like that." He ignored Anant and spoke to me while eyeing our intertwined hands.

"I told her to do that, it was because of me."

I felt bad for Anant when he mumbled that, I know I should not, he does not deserve it yet I felt bad.

"Yeah exactly, you did everything..." he took a deep sigh "...now what is this new drama going on here?" He asked pointing his fingers at our hands.

"Dad... Now I know the depth of my mistakes, I'm realizing that what I did is unforgivable; it is unforgettable for us, but I just need a chance, a second chance." Anant said in a low tone.

I looked at him, amazed with the truthfulness of his words. It felt so genuine that I again became confused about his loyalty.

"And I want to give him a chance." Those words slipped out of my mouth when I deciphered what Anant just said. My voice was laced with fear, the fear of the outcome.

"What? Are you out of your mind, how could you just forget what he did?" Ritz exploded as a volcano behind me, I was expecting that.

"I could because I love him." I turned to look at her, Anant also turned with me. I could feel the three pair of eyes looking at me, as I said something unbelievable.

"I can't believe it." After saying that, she walked away, may be upset with me that I forgave her brother. I smiled at my destiny. What an eventful life.

"You could forget it because your love is strong and you have a big heart, but we don't."

Before dad complete, I ran towards his embrace and silently cried in his arms, it was soothing as always.

***

I looked at them in pure hatred. I felt so empty when she pulled her palm away and ran to dad. It was unbearable to stand like this, I yearned to be in her place, I yearned to hug my dad, and I yearned to be soothed by him. The complete hatred I had subsided inside me hit me hard. I hated that sight; I hated her for loving my dad, for being with him, for providing him, the comfort. I hated her for snatching him from me, for snatching my rights.

"But you love her Anant," Someone reminded me.

***

Do let me know, should i continue or not. :)

PART 18

I hugged dad tightly; I have missed him, this warmth.

I turned my head when I felt one pair of eyes staring at me, hot glare was on the back of my head, if looks could kill then I might have dead by now, Anant was giving me the death glare. What made him angry sudden? If this was happening six months ago then I would have flinched away, but this time, it is different, I was wondering that what made him hate me this much. Is this because I share a strong bond with his dad than him? What is my fault in that, I think he is insecure; maybe he does not like my closeness with his dad. Stupid Navya, Anant and insecure, impossible.' my mind mocked, I was busy in my thoughts that I almost failed to notice that dad was asking to do something. I shifted my face from Anant and looked at dad, he was smiling at me warmly, I have missed this; I missed my home.

"Go and meet Ritz, you have a lot to explain." his voice was thick; simply nodding I walked towards Tanni's bedroom.

"You are going to do exactly what I said." Anant sneered pushing me to the wall behind. I moaned when my back made contact with the wall. I knew it would stink for a week now, he never abused me physically but mentally he did. He never left a chance to hurt me; he emotionally broke me. Though he had done these, he never laid his hands on me, he never forced himself on me, he stood strong on his words, and he never tried to invade my personal space. Nevertheless, when we were surrounded by his family he would completely change to a different man, a man who respects his wife, who loves his wife.

An undefined emotion flashed through his eyes when he saw me flinching, I doubted for a minute, was that care, he cares about me.

To my disappointment, He soon replaced it with a disgusting look when he saw I am staring at his eyes, his dark eyes.

"Done staring at me?" he mocked bringing me to the real world, I stood there against the wall for a support.

"I was not staring at you." I snapped mostly surprised us both. His eyes bulged.

"Wow, snapping and all." He strode towards me angrily and held me by my cheeks with his palm, his fingers dig into my flesh. We stood there staring at each other for a good amount of time; I thought he was searching something.

We were in our bedroom; it was dark, as the sun has yet to rise, but the side table lamb was enough for me to see him.

We were close, so close that I could see his features more clearly, his jaw was perfectly sculptured, his eyes were dark, though I had known him for a quite time I felt him mysterious, he had a dark interior something he kept hidden behind that hard exterior.

Suddenly a spark run down through my spine, the intensity scared me, his eyes were on my lips, his mint breath fanned my face, and I stood there waiting for the mistake. I know he will regret this and he gonna blame me, but can I stop him from doing this? Only I could do was stay there and face his wrath.

Surprising me, he backed away as he got a shock; he made space for us as I have a contagious disease. It hurts to see the disgusting look in his eyes, without looking at me he turned to walk away, but before he gets out, he spoke "Don't dare to snap at me, Navya, and do as I said..." and then he slammed the door.

I stood there staring at that man I fell in love with, I did not know it would be this big mistake, I didn't know he could turn someone like this, A MONSTER who destroyed me.

I know I have to do this, I know this is going to be difficult, but do I have a choice?

He wants me to get out of his life, he wants me to leave him, I was not surprised when he said that, I was waiting for this, as today is the last day I'm allowed here. But I was least expecting that he would say that I have to leave without anyone noticing, how hard is that, how can I leave this place when practically people running around When my sister in law is being engaged. I was happy about something, he at least allowed me to attend the function, but I also know that was for his sister not for his wife.

I was in my thoughts when I reached Tanni's bedroom, those memories are still haunting me, those hurts, those insults, his face, that dark eyes. I do not know how I am going make it happen but I think I again don't have a choice.

I pushed open the door and saw she was talking over the phone, I could guess that was Ranbir, she turned towards the sound, her eyes were filled with tears, it wrenched me, I am the reason behind those.

"Yes, Navya it is you, the reason behind these tears."

"Huh, did I say that loud?"

"Yeah you did."

Chuckling at my stupidity, I spoke.

"Don't you allow me to your room Ritz?"

"It is your house and you have the rights," ... "to leave and to come back," she said dryly.

I smiled wryly, this is tough than I expected.

***

We were participating in a staring completion, and dad was winning. He did not take his eyes from me, that glare was hot. I chuckled at my use of words. Wrong move Anant, I mentally slapped.

"Come to my office now." He ordered,

I was expecting this... now who gonna help me, I looked for Navya for a support, for help.

"Since when you had started to seek her help?" Someone mocked.

"Wow, so he is back."

"Who?" dad snapped.

"My irritating conscious mind"

"What?"

"Nothing... tough subject."

Before I walk away with him, my phone went off causing us both to freeze at our place.

"Can I take this call?"

I asked hoping that he will allow, it will give me some time more to prepare or maybe Navya will come down in that time. I mentally slapped my back at my dependence on her.

He nodded and walked away.

"Uncle" Pia squealed bringing a wide smile to my face.

"Baby, How are you? Miss you so much." I cooed.

"Uncle I'm coming to Mumbai"

She yelled over the phone, completely ignoring what I asked, I could imagine she jumping on the bed crazily.

Even I am jumping now, this could be helpful, I can win Navya easily now. Happily, I walked out to talk to her.
