Chapter 9

My heart is still beating, and there's that stupid grin on
my face that I can't hide!!

I climbed the stairs and opened the terrace door. I
stepped in.. alia, Ryan, di, bhaiyya and all the three children are here ,all
are standing and discussing something.

" hii guyzz!! What's going
on?" I asked . I Must be looking
excited because of this grin.

" nothing is going on" alia pouted

I moved to them on the left side of the door. They have
laid three white mattresses on the floor left to the door and some woofer and speakers are also here.

"but what about the game?" I asked
and smiled.

"everyone lets just sit
first.." Bhaiya waved his hand on
the mattress. We all smiled and sat there.

" ok..so what do you wanna play
shruti?" Ryan asked and then winked

I laughed too. He is good. He is fun.

" whatever you would like
Ryan" I teased him

Everyone else hooted. Ryan made a little shy face and I
laughed back at him.

" ok lets dance then" he stands up in a fraction of second and
attached his phone with the woofers and played a romantic song. He turned and
asked for my hand, I narrowed my eyes and then gave my hand in his hand. Then
he made me stand up and put his left hand around my waist and hold my left hand
with his right hand.

I grinned, I am not uncomfortable with him . Its like I am
with my best friend.

And then he made me dance, everyone else they are watching
us with a big smile on their face. Alia whistled occasionally!!!

I smiled and looked at everyone.

Then suddenly my eyes got laid on my favourite person
Arun,he is standing there at the entrance
with his left side reeling on the door and arms folded on his chest. He
is wearing that same brown coloured jacket on the vest and PJ's . He is
watching us...how long is he standing here???

I looked at him and paused but Ryan continued to dance
with me.

I looked at Arun
..he is..looking at me or at the hand on my waist. He is not smiling like others just standing
there, eyes on me!!

And then the song finishes up and Ryan let go my hand and
me. I smiled a little, conscious of Arun's presence, he is still standing there
opposite me reeling on the door from one side.

I moved and sit on the mattress with my back on the iron
reeling. I looked at him, finally he
moved and comes at the edge of the mattress.

" bhaiii?" Alia said aloud and widen her eyes.

And then he came and sit beside me on my right.

Alia and pooja di are sitting opposite us. Ryan on my left
and raj Bhaiya on our right. Allthe three children are playing their own game
at the left side of us.

" ok!! So I guess everyone's
interested in the game now" Ryan
said and laughed.

" but what's the game?" Bhaiyya asked

" that's the thing...we don't
know" alia said and made a disappointed face

I smiled "
its ok!! Lets talk"

Suddenly di looked excited

"yeah! Why not play truth or
dare?"

"oh yeah" Ryan and alia said it together. They both
look a little relieved now.

Finally!! I decided to look at Arun. I looked at my right,
and there's he the hot guy, he is not saying anything but I can see that he is
looking at me from the corner of his eyes. I looked down and smiled and then
turned to look at others.

suddenly Alia stood up

"ok everyone...then lets play a
game where you will be asked a question ... But noone can lie about anything .ok?" She asked .

"ok" Ryan and I said together and then ryan looked at me and smiled. I
smiled back. And then I looked from the corner of my eyes that Arun is looking
at me and Ryan both.

What???

" there's no bottle...lets
start with you bhaiya" Ryan said
excitedly.

Alia put two blankets on all over everyone and then sits
with a satisfied look on her face.

Since its a December night and it's chill so I pulled the
blanket and covered myself till the neck.

" so bhaiya did u know Bhabhi
before all this marriage and stuff?" I asked curiously

Everyone laughed.

And then bhaiya gave his shy smile and said " its an arrange marriage but yeah I knew her before
this. She was one year junior to me in the college and yeah... not much!!! except I proposed her once and she rejected
me" and he laughed harder.

I widen my eyes and giggled

" bhaiyya!!" alia said, widen her eyes and laughed.

Arun just smiled.

Ohh!! At least he is smiling.

"ok your turn di" alia said and pointed her fingers towards di

Di grinned and nodded

" umm!! Tell us di ! if you had
any boyfriend before your marriage" this
time this is bhaiya

All of us, widen our eyes ..i looked at Arun and he
laughed looking at me... i think Arun is a little excited too to know about
this..

And then suddenly, I felt his hand beside my hand on the mattress.

My smile faded away almost instantly and my heart started pouding like a drum again!!

I looked at him to my right , but he is not looking at me
except he is smiling.

His fingers moved on my fingers and then he touched his
palm to my palm. I kept my hand still,it has turned all hot. I turned my face
down...all the surrounding sounds are fading away!! What I can hear is just
their giggles. And then his fingers filled in the spaces between my fingers and
finally he clasped my hand tightly.

My breathing stopped!!! All I can feel right now is his
hand with mine. Clasped tightly under his grip.

"shree?" Suddenly I heard alia's voice. It startled
me and then I looked at her. She narrowed her eyes

How can he smile right now?? He is
smiling and I...i am breathless right now!

" whatt?" She made an annoyed face

" nothing" I made an innocent face. And i looked from
the corner of my eyes that Arun has stifled his smile by his right hand.

"now your turn di!!" ryan said to alia

Alia grinned "
yes...ask!! Ask!!"

"do you have a boyfriend?" ryan asked excitedly

Alia pouted and made a sad face "no"</i>

"really?"<i> ryan is shocked

"hmm" alia smiled a shy smile and suddenly

" so Ryan..your turn ,tell us
about your girlfriend" alia asked
excitedly and clapped her hands.

" my girlfriend?" He laughed "well right now I don't
have any girlfriend" and he made a
serious face

Alia cocked her one brow up giving a now-tell-the-truth
expression.

I smiled ,aware of the feeling of his hand. And now!! I
know its my turn. I tried to pull my hand away from his grip , but his fingers
are firm and he is not letting me go.

I looked at him, and he looked back at me, from his
expression I can tell that he is enjoying this.

I made an innocent face and whispered " please" .

All of a sudden his
expression's changed...and turned into something hot. I can hear his
breathing.He turned his face away and smiled but my hand
still is in his grip. He tightened the grip . and I can say this right
now that this feeling is incomparable.

Suddenly I heard my name

"shruti?" Ryan said aloud

I shaked my head and looked at him"huh?" And
widen my eyes

He laughed
"what happened?? Its your turn now."

Damn!!! Arun...just leave my hand.

I tried again to
free my hand but it just doesn't look possible.

" oh yeah!" I faked a smile

God!!!

"umm!!!" Ryan rubbed his hands and made a face as if
he is thinking very hard "so!! Tell us shruti..do you love
someone?"

What??? I widen my eyes!! This question gave me a shock. I
got dumbstruck.

"oh wow!! Ryan" alia laughed and they both did a high-five.

Suddenly..arun let go my hand. I looked at him. He is
looking at me with an expecting face, he wants the answer of this question. I
turned my face down.

Shruti!! Do you love someone?? How can I say this...the only
person who has ever made me feel so nervous and conscious and awesome is
him...the boy beside me but love?? I have never thought about it. Yeah I like
him. I like him a lot but love?

And suddenly as if this was not enough, Mr.unpredictable
spoke

"tell us shruti...do u love
someone?" And he cocked his head to
his right and smiled .

I looked at him..straight in his eyes!! And I can tell he
is desperate to know about the answer.

"umm!! I don't know" finally I managed an answer.

Suddenly alia spoke aloud

"what???? No just tell us yes or
no"

"I don't know" I looked at her and made a straight face.

"what I can say is yes I like
someone but love??? I don't know about that" I clarified myself.

And whoa like??? Oh my god!!! I can't even make eye
contact with him but somehow I managed to have a glance of his face. I turned
my face to the right and there's that his shy smile. He is looking straight
into my eyes as if he wants to say something.

And Once again!! He moves his hand under the blanket to my
hand but this time he is not gonna get it, I quickly moved my hand to my knees
and looked at him with a see-I-can-do-this smile and he, in response smiled and
shaked his head.

"okay!!! Arunn..your turn" pooja di said excitedly

"turn?" He raised his eyebrows

" yes bhai...and you will have
to answer " alia said and pouted

"hmm..ok ask" and he smiled

"ok me!! Me!! I will ask" Ryan said aloud and clapped to make everyone
silent

We turned to Ryan to listen his question.

"so tell us bhaiya who
understands you the most and the exception is your mom" he asked and then laughed .

My heart beat accelerated again!!

I turned my face to the right and he turned all silent.
All of us are staring him!!

And Suddenly he answered,

"Priya"

*pause *

Suddenly my breathing stopped and everything around me got
paused!!!

Priya????? Who is she??

He glanced at me quickly but I turned away my face.

"Priya??? Who is Priya
bhaiya?" Finally Ryan asked
something and right now I wanna thank him for his question.

I looked at alia and she is smiling.

" priya is bhai's friend cum
girlfriend" alia finally spilled the
beans.

I can feel the pain somewhere at the centre of my chest.

I looked down on the mattress.

"it's not like that." I heard arun's voice

My whole body is so tired suddenly. I don't want to be
here.

I heard raj Bhaiya and pooja di , they both are laughing .

"I didn't know that you have a
girlfriend bhaiya" I heard Ryan's
surprised voice.

Alia giggled.

"please guys!! There's nothing
like that" I heard Arun's irritated
voice.

" when is she coming here..I
thought she would be here today?"raj
Bhaiya asked him

"she is coming tomorrow" I heard arun's clipped voice.

I felt like my whole world is shattered now!! How could
you be so stupid shruti??

Was he playing with me for this whole time..how can he???

My heart got constricted. How stupid you are shruti to
think that Arun could be yours!!!

I just need to go from here. I gently pushed my blanket
away .

"guys!! I am tired now, I am
going" I said calmly without making
eye contact with anyone.

"going??? what about the dinner
then ?" Pooja di asked a little
concerned

I looked at her and gave a fake smile "I am not feeling like eating"

" you should have something at
least" I heard arun's voice

I did not look at him"
no..i am fine"

I got up and walked to the door.

Quickly I moved down the stairs and ran to my room. I
closed the door and suddenly I felt a
lump at my throat. And finally i
burst into tears. I sat there opposite the door and put both of my hands
on my face.

"why?" I cried out aloud

Suddenly all his memories came back in front of my
eyes..his shy smile.. The way he looks at me ..

'You should stay shruti'..'those bas***ds were staring
your back' 'wait outside ' Don't go anywhere tomorrow '

The way he touched me...suddenly i looked at my hand which
he just grabbed...by looking at it ,I cried harder

"was it..fake?" I staggered

I don't want to be here. I want to go..to dad

Dad??? Suddenly i realised i haven't talked to dad since
morning

I quickly stood up and reached to the bed for my phone.

There are 2 miss calls from dad

Quickly i dialed his number and wiped the tears away

"shree?" I heard dad's voice. And it thawed my heart.

"dad?" I tried to talk.

"what happened shree?" Dad asked. He sounds worried about me

"i miss u dad..where are you..i
wanna come home" and i burst into
tears

"heyy?? What happened
shree..tell me...did something happen?" He sounded worried even more

Don't do this shree!!! He will get worried and Quickly i dashed my tears away

"no..dad!! Nothing like that its
just...come soon" i faked a smile at
which i think i am getting good.

"yes!! I will come there day
after tomorrow..ok?" He asked

No!!!!!

"hmm!! Ok" i said calmly

Tears started rolling on my cheeks.

"what are you doing then?" He asked

"nothing!! I was just
tired"

"go to sleep then...and don't
cry shree!! If you want then i can ask to Pritam to send you back home"

Uncle means more questions..i can manage to stay far away
from here at my hotel room!!

"no dad ..i am fine!! Bye good
night then"

"ok..good night and please take
care of yourself shree!! Dad loves you ok??" i heard his concerned voice.

"love u too dad"

I hang up the phone and sat on the egde of the bed.

My whole body feels like betrayed.

My vision got fade away.

I cried and cried even more!!

Why are you crying? He never said
that he loves you..it was you, who was thinking that he also loves you.

Why???? Why did i come here??

Suddenly I felt very tired and laid
flat on the bed and dozed off with tears coming out from the corner of my eyes.

Chapter 10
I woke up on my own today, no alarms and no knocking is required.
I sat on the bed and checked my phone , it is 7:00 am.
I exhaled and suddenly I felt my throat is dry, my lips are cracked, my head is pounding.
All the things that happened yesterday flooded into my mind.
' wear a saree tomorrow ', I touched my forehead where he kissed me, my hand which he clasped and finally I reached to the reality when I heard 'Priya'.
'priya is bhai's friend cum girlfriend '
Tears started rolling on my cheeks again!!
"damn" I put both of my palms on my eyes
"stop crying!!! " I said while crying even more
I wiped my tears away and stood up to get ready.
I don't want to be here. I should go to my hotel room. I will come back here with dad only.
i nodded, agreed to myself.
"lets get ready then" I said to myself
I got fresh, bathed and came to the room again. I have decided to wear very casual clothes today. So I wore my light blue jeans, brown coloured cut sleeves top and a black jacket. And among the foot wear I wore my black stilltoes.
I looked myself in the mirror, my eyes are little swollen today . I kept staring myself with blank expression on my face.
Yes!!! Arun cannot be for you definitely. Why would he like me?
Suddenly I felt my heart constricted!! I felt the pain in my chest again!!
"Don't" and i shaked my head.
Arun's girlfriend is coming today. She could be downstairs. So I decided to wear some light makeup too. I did my eyeliner, mascara and a little lip gloss. I felt some water on my cheeks again!!
God!! I am ruining my makeup. I took a tissue and removed all the smudges'. And then I looked in the mirror again, this time with a look, if I can beat some other girl or not with my looks.
But Yeah!! Its not important now and my face falls.
Suddenly I heard my phone's ring.
I turned and went to my phone on the bed. I looked at the screen, it's an unknown number.
Somewhere in my mind, a thought came that it could be Arun.
No!! he does not have your number shruti.
I accepted the call "hello" I said
" shruti" and my heart skipped a beat...its him..its Arun
I widen my eyes.
What does he want from me now?? Why the hell is he calling me now??
"SHRUTI?" I heard his voice filled with anger.
"what?" I said, matching his tone
"what happened?" His voice is a little calm and concerned this time.
What happened??? He doesn't know??? Oh yes, Why would he??
My eyes got filled up with that silly water again!!! And then that water came to my cheeks!! I shaked my head as if in disgust.
"tell me" i heard his voice again. From his voice, i can tell, he wants this answer any way
" nothing " i said flatly
And I hang up the phone.
Suddenly I am so angry with him. I don't want to talk to him ever!!
I dashed my tears away,walked to the mirror and checked myself in the mirror, my eyes and cheeks have turned red!!
I turned and reached to the cupboard and started packing all my stuff in the bag.
I won't come back here today!!
I don't care what anyone says to me!!
I zipped up the chain of my black bag, picked up the bag and my phone and walked to the door, unlocked it and came outside.
I am in the corridor now!! I looked at the hall, there are so many guests. All are laughing and talking. I walked to the staircase and moved down to the hall .
" Shreee" I heard alia's voice and turned my face to the left. Alia is sitting around the dining table with a smile on her face.
"god!! You are looking hot shree" she laughed
But suddenly her smile fainted and she looked down to my bag.
Oh no!!!
I walked towards her and sat down beside her on the chair with my back towards the sofas and all the other guests.
"what the hell is this bag doing with you." She said aloud and then I opened my mouth but she did not let me say anything " you are supposed to go just for some work on your laptop,I don't think if its necessary" she said and her lips turned in a hard line.
I inhaled. " look alia please ok!! I will come back sooner, what if my clothes get ruined there at the hotel room" I lied but I just can't bear to be here any longer!!
She shaked her head indicating she is not agreed and then suddenly she asked
" Shree!! You will come back right?" her face innocent
No!! Alia please. I looked at her and nodded. And finally she smiled.
I will see!!
"aunty? Bring breakfast for shree" alia said aloud looking at her right towards the kitchen.
I turned my face towards my right and looked back at the sofas where I can see aunty, pooja di, maami, maama ji, and lots of other guests all are having their breakfast. I couldn't see Arun, bhaiyaa and Ryan.
I turned back to look at alia " where's everyone?"
She pouted " bhaiya is out for some work, bhai is out too for some work and yes!!" She smiled
" he will pick up priya on his way back and Ryan...he is still sleeping" and then she laughed!!
My breathing stopped. He is out to pick up that bloody priya. Yet he called me...how???
I need to know about them.
I put on a fake smile and looked at alia
" tell me alia, what's up with these two?"
She narrowed her eyes " bhai and priya?" She asked
I nodded and then inhaled.
"ohh!" She grinned
My heart rate got accelerated.
" they both are college friends. Actually u know what shree!! We all never knew that bhai has a friend among girls, but umm..around two months before she was here at the house with bhai, bhai does not talk about anything much, so I decided to talk to Priya to get some information about their status then... she told me that yeah!! They are friends and sometimes more than friend." She giggled
My heart constricted on this information. I Inhaled deeply to prevent my tears get shown up.
" I think shree!! They both had sex also" she said and nodded.
I widen my eyes" whatt?" Words came out of my mouth instantly
She nodded and laughed.
I felt a pain in my chest. I can't take this information.
Even my fake smile faded away. Face of Arun came in front of my eyes. I felt a lump in my throat!!
What the hell is she saying?? Is this true?? Suddenly my head!!! Oh its aching...
I put my fingers on my forehead.
"what happened?" Alia asked surprisingly
I shaked my head "nothing"
"Shree!! You have not had anything..it is weakness!!" she said calmly
Suddenly I saw their maid is bringing breakfast. She put the plate on the table and went away.
"now eat shree" alia commanded me
Eat??? My appetite is lost...My vision is blurred and oh no I don't wanna cry in front of anyone. Quickly I covered my face and wiped the tears with my finger.
"god shree..eat..m.calling dad" she said a little worried and went away.
I quickly cleared my face and looked at the plate in front of me.
My head is pounding and alia's words are spinning into my head.
What should I do..to make myself not cry?? I am frustrated now!! With all these tears and pain.
I grabbed the glass of orange juice and quickly drank it all at once.
I wiped my lips and stood up.
Time to go shruti and for god's sake don't cry!!!
I turned on my heels and looked around. I can see alia talking to uncle who is standing on the last step of the staircase. I looked at uncle and suddenly he moves his face towards me.
Oh alia!! What are you telling uncle??
I walked towards them.
"see dad!! Now handle her" alia said looking at me.
I narrowed my eyes, uncle smiled
" shree?? Are you okay?" Uncle said and put his hand on my head.
"yes uncle. " I smiled.
He removed his hand.
"you look tired today" uncle said checking my whole face
I shaked my head " no!! I am fine" and showed him my smile.
He nodded.
" uncle!! I need to go back to my hotel room for some work" I looked at uncle. He looks okay to hear this.
"yes Raj told me about that yesterday.. Is it important?" He asked and there are three creases on his forehead.
I nodded, trying to be as straight as possible.
" ok then let me I ask someone to drop you. Raj and Arun both are not here right now."
My heart beat suddenly accelerated on hearing his name and thanks heaven he is not here.
"you wait here for a little bit. Let me ask Ryan." He said and i nodded and then he went upstairs.
I exhaled and looked at alia. She smiled.
"but you will come back sooner. Unless i will come there and drag you till here" she warned me and then laughed. I smiled back.
Suddenly alia said " bhai? priya?"
My breathing stopped. I looked at alia , she is standing opposite me and is looking at the door behind me.
I widen my eyes. I felt a quick shiver running through my body.
Alia looked at me "lets go and meet her" and she smiled.
I faked a smile," you go. I am coming"
"ok" and then she ran towards the door.
My heart is pounding really hard as if it going to burst out.
I grabbed my hair on my head and shaked my head. I can hear everyone going towards the door.
"priyaa!! Come inside" I heard aunty's voice.
My whole body has turned all hot now. My head is pounding.
And then suddenly I heard my name and It is alia.
"shree come"
And My whole body got paused for a fraction of second. I felt that all the blood from my face has flooded down.
but then I decided to turn. I will have to face it anyway!!
And then finally I turned!!
There are so many guests encircling them at the back side of sofa. I walked to them and then again
" come shree" alia said from the centre of the crowd. All the guests get aside ...all smiling and gossiping and some of them ran towards the kitchen. The crowd scattered away and finally its just me.
Alia, Arun and this girl priya standing here on my opposite.
I looked at her.
And yes!!! She is hot. She is wearing black jeans and sleeveless top which is revealing her cleavage a little and over it a black jacket which is very much similar to mine . She is wearing killer heals too!!
I can say right now that I envy her. I have never thought that I would be jealous of anyone but here I am standing in front of a girl whom I hate the most.
Suddenly!
She offered her hand for pleasantries,
"priya" she said, looking at me with a smile on her face which is real or fake I can't tell.
I smiled back "shruti" and shaked her hand.
She nodded and then moved her face towards her left to look at him...Arun.
And then I moved my eyes towards my right to look at him .
And Damn!!!! He is hot. But he is.. hers!! And I felt the same pain in my chest.
I inhaled. Looking at him. He is wearing a black shirt, black trousers and sleeves perfectly folded above his elbows.
He is looking at me straight in my eyes, searching for something in my eyes but I kept my face blank, giving nothing away,not even a single smile.
We both are looking at each other, both with the same blank expressions.
"let's sit guys" alia announced and finally we both had to break our eye contact.
"you guys sit" I said and turned
"no!! You will have to sit too. Ryan will drop you. I promise" alia said and I turned to look at her.
"Ryan?" Arun said surprisingly
I did not look at him and continued to look at alia. Alia nodded looking at him.
"priya sit" alia said and they both turned to go to the sofa.
And damn!! Arun and I,We both are left here.
"I will drop you" Arun said , his voice clipped
I inhaled and then looked at him
" You. Take care of your guests" I said with a clipped voice too.
He ran his right hand in his hair.
"Shruti" he said as if explaining something.
But then I turned around and walked straight to my bag near the dining table.
Right now I am not able to feel anything. My emotions!!! I am not able to distinguish between my anger and my pain.
Suddenly I turned to my left and saw Ryan coming towards me, with a smile on his face.
"good morning shruti mam" he teased me
Thank god!!! Someone's not overreacting
I smiled back "good morning"
"so I am your driver today?" He laughed and asked
I narrowed my eyes "well!! Not driver but yes!! Please will you drop me to my hotel room?" I asked making an innocent face.
"anything for the mam" he smiled "can I change?" He asked looking at his vest and PJ's
I laughed finally!! For the first time today!!
"yes"
And he laughed back and ran to the stairs. I exhaled. Finally!! I am going away from here.
Suddenly I saw..all the guests are now shifted here around this dining table. I stepped back.
"shree ?" Aunty came and stands beside me.
"yes" I said and half smiled
" your uncle told me that you have to go to the hotel room. But come sooner ok?" She said
I nodded and smiled my very own fake smile.
Suddenly, someone tapped over my shoulder. I turned and it is alia.
Aunty is now all settled on her chair with the guests.
"what are you doing here. Come with me?" And before I can say something, she grabbed my hand and took me to the sofa where I can see Arun, priya, bhaiya and pooja di are sitting.
Oh!! Bhaiya has come.
We reached to the sofa and got settled.
Arun and priya are sitting opposite me . Bhaiya and pooja di are to the left and alia beside me.
" so tell us Priya, how is Arun with you?" Di asked. And I ...looked at Priya.
She smiled. She is bold, no doubt. Why won't he like her? She is perfect for him. He deserves someone like her.
From inside I got filled up with the jealousy.
Priya looked at Arun and smiled . Arun raised his brows and shaked his head without any smile on his face.
Suddenly she put her hand on his shoulder, I jerked my eyes towards arun's eyes , who quickly looked at me. But I looked down quickly.
I am a broken toy today .
"Arun is a silent person with me too but yeah he is really funny sometimes" and I heard her laughing.
Suddenly I heard Ryan's voice coming from my left "let's go shruti"
I looked at my left, he is coming towards us with keys in his left hands.
I finally stood up. Relieved that I don't have to face any of this shit now.
"where are you going shruti?" I heard di's voice.
"to my hotel room, for some work" I said calmly .
"oh" she said and nodded
I quickly looked at Priya and gave a smile and then walk towards her " see you then" she stood up and shaked hands.
I don't wanna give anyone any idea about she, affecting me anyhow.
And then I glanced at him...at Arun..just if in case I won't come back. He has stood up too, looking a little lost!!
And then I turned "bi everyone" I said
"you are coming back in some hours, no need to say bi" alia said and stood up.
I nodded and then turned towards the door, straight to outside.
I looked at Ryan who is walking beside me and smiled.
" when will you come back?" He asked calmly
"i will tell you." I said
"how? You don't have my number." He said and them took my phone and dialled his number and gave a missed call on his number. He smiled and gave me my phone back.
I have a feeling inside me that wants me to cry.
Finally, We reached outside. I put my bag on the back seat and suddenly when i closed the back door, Arun is standing here in front of me .
My mouth left a little open. And My heart beat accelerated again!!
Quickly I looked away to the right.
But finally Ryan said something "bhaiya?" I looked at my left to ryan and he is standing outside the driver's seat.
"your mom is calling you. Go." Arun commanded him. I looked at him through my eyelashes and god!! He is angry. His face is all red right now.
I can faint right now. My whole body is shivering.
Get a grip shruti!!
Ryan ran inside the house, and finally its me and him alone!!
I stepped back and did not look at him.
" you are going there for some work. Why the hell, are you going with your bag ?" I heard his all angry voice .
I folded my arms around myself and turned. But then suddenly he grabbed my elbow and pulled me back to face him.
"answer me" he said loudly
I looked at him and jerked his hand with my other hand.
" don't touch me" I said acidly.
And oh no!! I guess he is hurt this time.
Suddenly He nodded and stepped back.
And then he closed his eyes for a fraction of second , when he opened them they are growling with anger.
But suddenly Ryan came back, looking at both of us. I looked back at Arun who clenched his teeth and moved towards the door and went inside the house.
"why did she call you?" I asked just to settle my mind on place.
He laughed " I don't know ...let's go" Ryan said and moved around to the driver's seat. I sat to his left side and we both are headed to my hotel room.
I looked outside the window.
'i think they both had sex too'
Remembering the conversation , my whole body shivered again.
The only thing which comes infront of eyes is Arun's face. Sometimes he is shy, sometimes commanding, sometimes he teases me ...i remembered yesterday's night when he clasped my hand..i half smiled but then Priya, the only thing which is real is she. My expression's changed instantly.
"shruti?" I heard Ryan's voice. I looked at him.
"hmm?" I asked
" you look lost." He said calmly and then smiled
I smiled back "nope!! Nothing like that"
"why do you talk so less?" He asked and then laughed
I laughed back " I think I should take talking lessons from Ryan sir now" and he grinned .
After 30 minutes we reached the hotel. Its a six storied hotel, white and brown in colour. Lots of glass windows can be seen. A man in his white dress code is standing outside the entrance door.
" do want any help with your bag?" Ryan asked
"no..i am fine" I smiled and came out of the car and waved him bi.

Chapter 11
I turned and stepped inside the hotel where a man opened the door for me.I went straight to the reception to collect the keys of the room. A girl is sitting here, she smiled .
"how can I help you mam?" She asked with a formal smile on her face
"here's my room booked on the name Rajesh singhania." I said calmly.
"let me check mam" she said and looked at her computer screen.
I looked at my right, it's a long corridor with a staircase in the last.
"yes mam, here are your keys" she smiled and handed me the keys.
I turned to the right and stepped in the elevators which is at the right in the corridor. I pressed for the second floor.
And then finally I stepped out once the elevator reached to the second floor. I walked to the left and unlocked the door of my room which is 3rd from the left and stepped inside and turned the lights on. Its a fine room with a double bed in the right with white sheets, there's a big window on the opposite wall of the door. A washroom on the left side of the door.
Finally I am alone. I locked the door and put the bag on the floor. I crawled on the bed and pick out the laptop from the drawer of the bed and turned it on.
And then suddenly his face...when I said don't touch me' came in front of my eyes. Is he hurt? My heart, I am feeling so impatient right now as if something is missing. I got what i wanted, I am alone finally.
But I can't keep his thoughts away!!
She can touch him without any hesitation. I clenched my teeth. Of course she can!!
The thought made me go sad even more. Does he love her?
"why Shruti ? What do you want?" Words are coming out of my mouth on their own.
I can't accept what I want, because if I do then it would be more painful.
They both are in a relationship, I should not come in between and they both look Happy with each other.
I nodded!!
Tears came out of my eyes and rolled on my cheeks. I half smiled..how stupid of me to come here for a guy who has no interest in me. I remember when he said 'hi' to me for the first time..i love it when he smiles..i love it when he teases me..I love it when he commands me...his affection..oh god!! Why did he kiss me?? I touched my forehead!! And finally I cried with everything inside of me...
"arunnn" I said his name aloud
I can feel my face...its like it is on fire.
Finally when I am done with my crying , I kept on sitting with the same blank expression. suddenly I remembered that I have work to do.
I glanced at the laptop screen and started my work. I googled everything that I need, and made a presentation, typed all the necessary things and emailed it to various persons. I got back emails to make changes , I changed things, put on graphs and all the products name. And again emailed it to Varun sir and Akash. I got an email back from Varun sir to change one more thing, I quickly started changing things in that slide and emailed it back. And finally!!! He said it's great now.
I checked the time on the screen and shit!!! It's 5:00 in the evening.
Did i just spend more than 6 hours sitting here??
I realised that I got a back pain now. So I decided to take some rest because I am not going back there.
I took my phone and oh!!! There are 5 missed calls and i realised that it is on silent mode. 2 missed calls are from Ryan and 3 from Alia. There's no missed call from Arun, and I felt my chest constricted a little.
Mr.attitude must be busy with his girlfriend. I nodded. This pain of ignorance is painful..its just painful!!
Suddenly I am getting a call from dad.
I smiled finally!!!
"dad" I smiled
"shree?" He asked and sounded worried
"what happened dad?" I asked and sat up on the bed
"where are you?" He asked flatly
I widen my eyes. Oh god!!! Who told dad about me?
" umm...at the hotel room dad. Why?" I tried to be an innocent
"why?" He asked and dad?? Is dad mad at me?
" work" I answered apologetically
" do you have any idea about you being there alone?" He scolded me
My vision faded away!! I looked down.
"hmm" I replied
"go back at uncle's house." Dad ordered me.
Why everyone's ordering me nowadays?? I am so mad at the person who informed dad!!
"ok!! I am calling someone then" I said calmly
"Arun is already there to pick you up. Go downstairs he must be there" he said
Whattt?? I widen my eyes. Arun's here...??? Did He told dad? I clenched my teeth. I can't believe it.
"shree? " dad asked
"yes dad!! I am going" I am irritated now!!
I hang up the phone!!
Aaarghhh!! God!! Why can't he leave me alone. I am so mad at him.why the hell he told dad about me???
I shaked my head in frustration.
I get up from my bed and put my laptop and all my stuff in my bag. I took my phone and walked outside the room and locked it. I reached to the elevators on my right and pressed ground floor. The elevator's arrived on the ground floor and the doors are opened. My heart is pounding, my breathing rate has changed, I closed my eyes for a fraction of second and opened it. I stepped outside and turned to my left. There..straight beside the reception table...Arun is standing looking straight at me ...with no smile on his face. His left hand is lied on the table and right hand in his trouser's pocket. I walked towards him with the bag in my right hand. We both are not blinking not even once. And finally I reached, stood opposite him, paralyzed under his effective gaze. We both did not say a word.
Finally he lean down and put his fingers around my bag's straps. I made my grip tighter around my bag's strap. He looked at me and clenched his teeth and then snatched the bag with his right hand , I left the bag immediately!!
He turned around and went towards the exit door.
I should be the one who is mad at him. Why is he behaving like this??
I looked at my right at the girl on the reception desk, she is staring Arun. Even if he's gone outside she is managing to stare him!! I shaked my head. I cleared my throat, and then suddenly she looked at me a little embarrassed!
"umm..yes mam?" She asked a little too calmly
"keys" I gave her the keys and turned around to leave. I walked towards the exit door and reached outside. Its getting dark now. I looked straight and there's Arun standing beside the opened passenger door of his black SUV. He is not looking at me. I walked and sat on the seat without looking at him. He closed the door forcefully , and I got shaken.
What the hell is eating him???
He moved towards the driver's seat and sat inside the car, looking straight on the road.
"Seat belt" he said, his voice commanding .
I folded my arms around myself and looked outside the window.
He starts the engine and we are headed for the house now. he accelerated the car a little too much so that my whole body forced towards the front. I settled myself again and then yes! He won. I reached for the seat belt and fixed it around me.
I looked at him but he is looking straight on the road.
"why did you call dad?" I asked finally...i need to know. My voice, clipped.
"you are sitting here, going back to the house, because of that call only. Shruti" he answered in his stern tone
My heart skipped a beat on my name ,from his mouth.
I inhaled deeply and looked outside the window.
" why the hell are you behaving like this shruti??? Just tell me." He yelled frustratingly.
I continued to look outside.
As if, he doesn't know. He..has a girlfriend...what else is he expecting from my side? I clenched my teeth.
"FINE" he said aloud. I trembled with his tone.
My heart beat is thumping like a drum again!!
Why is he shouting?? Is this my fault? ?God!! What the hell does he want?? He is the one who faked everything and now he is mad at me..wow!!!
I looked straight on the road and glanced to my right a little. His grip has tightened around the steering wheel. And yes!! He is angry. I dare not look at him.
So much has changed in these two days. Initially I was so curious to see him and talk to him, he was so...so...everything...like he was sweet, caring, loving, commanding. And now!! I faced the reality that this guy...this mixture of everything...is not mine!!
I looked outside the window. Both didn't say a word.
Finally we are here outside the house!!! He climbed out of the car immediately and after him, I quickly opened the door and jumped out. He opened the back door , grabbed my bag and pick it out. I am standing beside him..looking at his every move...trying to know that.. why he cannot be mine??? Why I can't touch him the way priya can??
"you wanna stand here now?" He said with blank expression on his face, standing near the first step. I turned , moved towards the house, climbed the two steps and stepped inside the house.
They have changed the decoration of the house because of today's function.
Suddenly I heard my name." Shree" it is alia.. she said aloud and ran towards me. I walked towards her. She is looking worried and slightly relieved too.
" why did you not pick up anyone's call?" She threw her first question at me
They all were worried??? Is this the reason, he is mad at me??
" my phone was on silent. I was working, so I had no idea about the time too. I am sorry" I said apologetically and hugged her. I saw Ryan standing beside her. I looked at him and he also hugged me .
" shruti..do you wanna kill us...?" He said and laughed. I laughed back. Arun is standing beside me, looking at both of us.
" have you eaten anything?" Finally Arun asked looking at me. I looked at him back.
Is he ok now?
I shaked my head "no" and looked down. I can sense his anger now.
But Suddenly I looked up and saw priya is coming towards us. My whole expression must have been changed.
"hey!! Shruti you are here finally" she said and hugged me. I faked a smile.
She pulled away and then looked at her boyfriend "Arun, come I wanna show you something" she said and smiled. I looked at alia, she is smiling. Ryan smiled and then walked away.
My whole body got heat up.
He wanted me here to show me this???
I clenched my teeth and then looked at Arun..he looked at me and said " I am coming" and nodded.
She narrowed her eyes and went away. That I am coming' is for priya. Oh wow!! Arun is still standing beside me ...I don't know why..but I am a little bit relieved now!!
Suddenly alia said " lets go and eat something. I am starving too"
I looked at arun and I think he wants to say something. He looked at me with some curious expression but then turned to his left and walked away!!
What???
And then Alia grabbed my arm and she is taking me towards the kitchen.
The hall's floor is covered with red carpet today. A beautiful settee is placed at the place of sofas and sofas have been placed at the corner of the hall.
Then we stepped in the kitchen..its a big kitchen. With a table in the centre with a gas...all the four walls of the kitchen has wooden drawers and slabs. We stand opposite one slab. There are so many large and covered vessels.
" yumm!! Here's the food" she said and laughed. I smiled back
They both are together or not???
Alia arranged two plates with Indian food. And yes!! It is looking tasty. She gave one plate to me and she is excited for the food. I smiled and we both ate the food quickly!!
" I am full now" I said and kept one hand on my stomach.
She laughed " me too"
We both left the plate in the sink and came out of the kitchen.
" alia...shruti come here" aunty said aloud from the corner of the room. She is standing with other relatives.
We ran to her. She smiled and kept a hand on my head
" you will not go anywhere now"
I nodded .
" Today's mehendi. When you all girls will get ready?" She asked and looked at us..and di who is standing here too.
" ready?? Should we start getting ready?" Alia asked surprisingly
" yes" aunty nodded " function is going to start in an hour" aunty said with a serious face.
"ok then we all are going" pooja di said
We all turned around and went towards the stairs.
"hey!! All of you.." Ryan came running towards us
We all laughed "what" alia said and kept both of her hands on her waist.
" I am getting bore. Where you all are going?" Ryan said and looked here and there.
" to get ready stupid!" Di said and ran her hand in Ryan's hair.
" what?? Who told you to get ready?" Ryan asked with a serious face.
" everyone's getting ready Ryan...what are you doing here?" I teased him.
"Go and get ready" di said and smiled
And then we all ran towards our room . I entered in my room and locked it.
My heart is pounding faster now!! What if...alia doesn't know anything..and Arun and priya are just friends? He lingered her proposal to go with her today. He did not go with her!!
Suddenly I felt my whole body to be unstable. I need to know this. But first get ready. And then I will go and talk to him. I nodded and smiled.
I looked at my bag on the bed. Arun kept it here? I smiled and then walked towards the bag and picked out a plane blue saree with silver blouse.
Why I am getting obsessed with sarees nowadays???
" but this is beautiful" I said and pouted.
I got up and went in the washroom and came out after being done with all the face and body works. I changed my clothes and wore this beautiful saree and blouse.
I looked at the mirror and comb my hair and left them to get fall on my shoulders artfully. I did my makeup and kept it light. And finally the heals, I chose silver coloured heels!!
Hmm..and now I am done. I took a glance of myself in the mirror and yes!! I am looking good today. My heart has never stopped its rhythm because of the excitement. I need to talk to Arun and I will . I inhaled deeply and reached for the door, unlocked it and stepped outside. I checked my left and right, and then in the hall. Noone is looking here. I turned to my right and walked to his room. I stood there in front of Arun's room, its ajar, i opened the door and stepped in and then looked up. And oh no!!!! My breathing stopped, i am paralyzed at the site. I want to die right now, here at this place. I saw Arun in his black tuxes and priya, in a golden saree, hugging him from his back. She is smiling!! Her face is on his back and hands around him. He is standing ,his hands on her hands. Suddenly my vision has faded away and i felt my cheeks got wet.

Chapter 12
My whole body is going to explode right now!! I don't wanna believe my eyes. I just don't!!!
They both are standing with their faces towards my left on the rear side of the bed. Suddenly Arun grabbed her hands and stepped forward so that her hands are not on him any more. And then I don't know why..but he looked to his left and up...and finally he has seen me.
I got paralyzed at my place when our eyes met. My heart beat is faster now!!
"shruti?" He said in a surprised voice and then suddenly he realised that priya is standing beside him. He frowned,looking at my face. I turned around quickly. And now my eyes are pooling with tears.
"I ...i am sorry" I stammered, tears came out of my eyes and rolled on my cheeks. I moved quickly to go out, but then , priya said something
"hey!! Shruti..its fine..what is it?" I heard her voice, calm and somewhere she must be enjoying this, I guess.
My breathing has stopped!! My whole mind and body got numb.
"nothing...it's just function is getting started...i came here to call you" I managed and then ran to my room to left in one single breath.
I locked the door behind me and then reached to the edge of bed and sat there.
My mind is numb, it is not telling me what should I do right now. I am in a shock. I kept sitting there without a single drop of tear in my eye. I heard priya running through the corridor, she must be excited for the function. And suddenly I felt my heart is constricting, my head!!! It is pounding really hard as if it going to burst out. Everything around me is spinning. Everything has gone black in front of my eyes.
Suddenly!! I heard someone is thumping the door.but I kept sitting on the edge of the bed.
" Shruti?" Its arun's voice. My heart skipped a beat. But my head... It is spinning.
"shruti!!! Just open the door" he thumped hardly. His voice is commanding.
Even in this situation he can't get out of his commanding personality.
But I think I am gonna faint!! I can only see the darkness in front of my eyes!!
"God!! Shruti..are you ok??..you are killing me here!!" He said...this time he sounded worried.
Suddenly!! He stopped thumping.
After some minutes I heard a sound..ohh!! That's my phone got a message. I grabbed my phone and the message is from Arun.
* open the door *
"shreee?" Suddenly I heard alia is knocking on the door.
Thank god!!! I get off the bed quickly and ran to the door, I know within no time I am gonna faint. I unlocked the door and there she is standing in a orange and cream coloured saree. She looked at me with wide eyes!!
"shreee!! Whattt the hell has happened?" She looked at my face and grabbed my shoulders.
"noth..in" I said and I think I am gonna fell down but thankgod!! She has grabbed me. Suddenly Arun came running towards us from right, from his room may be .
My head is spinning and is going to burst now. It's aching badly!!
He saw me and widen his eyes ,
" damn it shruti" he yelled
alia quickly got aside and then Arun grabbed me. His one hand around me and then he turned me back to my room.
"she has gone pale" alia looked at me and is following me inside the room.
I wanna stop him to touch me and just throw him away but right now, my whole body can't do it. I tried to jerk his hand away but he is just too firm and I am too weak today. He made me sit on the bed and I fell down on the mattress. My eyes, closed.
Suddenly I opened my eyes. I can feel my head is a little lighter now. I bend to see the people in my room. Alia is sitting next to me, Arun is sitting near my legs on my right side on the bed, Ryan is standing near the door and aunty is standing beside Arun .
"shree? Thank god" alia said surprisingly and she looks relaxed. I looked at Arun who kept looking at me, I exhaled and quickly I looked away at Ryan, who is smiling. Ryan walked beside me
" what are you upto? Just tell us" he teased me and then alia and Ryan both laughed. I smiled back a little. And then, Aunty came to me with a glass of juice.
" drink this shree. I think I will have to look after you now" i smiled and tried to sat up. Suddenly Arun got up and offered me his hand. I grabbed Ryan's elbow and then looked at Arun..he clenched his teeth and sat down again. I quickly looked at aunty, she offered me the juice.
" no aunty!! I seriously don't want this" I said with a serious face.
" do you want something else?" She asked seriously.
Hmm..want?? My chest constricted. I wanted a guy , but he is fake. So now..i don't want anything.
"no" I shaked my head
"then drink this" Arun said aloud, his voice clipped.
I looked at him with all my hate-you look and he stared me back without blinking even once.
"shree you should drink" alia said politely.
Oh god!!!
I took the glass and smiled faintly, looking at aunty and drank my juice. Shit!!..its awful!! I made a face. Aunty smiled. " it is good for your health and please Come down whenever you feel fine" then she turned and went out of the room.
" come down soon ok? " Ryan said. I looked at him and nodded. And then he went out of the room.
Now its me, alia and Arun left in the room. I looked down. " shree you should rest and just come downstairs whenever you feel ok. Function has started" alia sounded concerned. I looked back at her " you guys go. I am coming in some minutes" I said and nodded.
And please take your brother along with you!!
" bhai?? Are you coming" alia asked Arun. I looked down but did not look at him. My heart rate has accelerated and all I can feel is the pain in my chest.
That vision of Arun and priya came in front of my eyes again.
" I am coming. You go" his voice is calm and I can feel his eyes on me. My heart beat...its thumping loudly. I fear if they can also listen to my heart beat.
"ok" alia said and I heard she is going out of the room , she walked and now she is gone. My heart...it is thumping more louder now!!
I inhaled.
" shruti" I heard his voice. I closed my eyes for a second and a drop of tear came out and rolled on my cheek.
" Arun please" I said calmly and continued to look down.
He moved closer to me, I folded my legs to one side. He moved his hand and went for my hand.
" Don't" I shaked my head and showed him my hand indicating him to stop.
I heard him breathing.
" look at me first" his voice calm. I kept looking down, my vision, it has faded away now!!
" just go" my voice, it is husky this time. I can feel a lump at my throat.
And then suddenly he cupped my chin with his fingers and then he made me look at him!! But I quickly closed my eyes.
I don't wanna look at him. He is faking it, even now!!!
" OPEN YOUR EYES SHRUTI" I heard his voice and He is angry again!!!!
But I don't care today!!!
My heart it is still beating faster and faster!!! My breathing...it's stopped!!
My tears are coming out of my eyes, I have no control over it today!!
" god shruti!!!! Please. Don't do this " he is calmer and worried this time. He removed his fingers from my face and I quickly looked down.
I jumped out of the bed and stood opposite him, on the floor. He stood up quickly and finally I looked at him.
His face is all serious ,showing that he has been worried but he looks angry too!!
God!! It's impossible to tell about his mood.
Finally I summoned my strength " if you don't wanna go out, then fine, I am going" I said looking straight into his eyes, my voice clipped, his eyes not leaving mine. And then, He clenched his teeth.
I gave him the same angry expressions back and moved to go out of the room . Suddenly he grabbed my elbow tightly and jerked me to him. And then He goes pass me, to the door and I think he is going now, I exhaled but no!!! He is locking the door. I widen my eyes.
" what the hell are you doing Arun?" I ran to him and pulled his hands away the lock. But now!! The door has been locked. My heart it is going to explode now. My skin, it is on fire. He looked at me, his face all red. And now!! I am really scared.
He is looking at me straight in my eyes and I..i am locked under his oh!! So affecting gaze.
" tell me what is it?" He yelled at me, his breathing rate has changed and mine too, he scares me when he get angry. I kept standing there, still. He kept his hands on either side of me on the door and now!! He is standing here!! So close to me. How can I say anything now?
"tell me shruti..why the f**king hell are you behaving like this?" He growled looking at me, not letting me see anywhere else.
I clenched my teeth " Arun please" I said, my voice clipped.
" tell me" his tone stern this time.
I shaked my head " it's nothing" and tears came out of my eyes and rolled on my cheeks.
I closed my eyes for a fraction of second and when I opened them, he is looking at me, his whole expression has changed. Its calm now. But my tears they are not going to stop today.
" don't cry " he removed his hands from the door and grabbed my face on either side. I looked back in his eyes and he is looking for something in my eyes.
" don't Arun" I shaked my head.
" what has happened?" He asked softly but with some authority, his eyes not leaving mine.
How can he ask this??
I shaked my head so that he can remove his hands from my face.
" nothing has happened Arun." I snapped at him " but sometimes it hurts to see people acting fake" my voice is all husky this time and finally he removed his hands from my face.
He narrowed his eyes " fake?" His voice surprised " what the hell are you saying. Keep it straight shruti" he said, his voice, commanding this time.
I am so mad at him. I hate him. The image of him and priya came in front of my eyes again!! I realized that i don't have any right on him. He is all hers and that thought made me cry even more. And finally i cried aloud. I put my palms on my face and finally i cried aloud.
" God!! Shruti."
he grabbed my hands and pulled them down and then he grabbed my face and pushed my face backwards so that I look at him in his eyes.
He looked me back in my eyes " shruti!!" His voice calm and approaching. His face has turned red again!!! And he is looking sincere, quiet and hot.
" no other girl in this whole world can take your place in my life" he clenched his teeth. I widen my eyes. He nodded, his face all serious.
My breathing rate has changed. What is he saying?? Is it fake??
" Arun!!! Why do you fake everything" I yelled and cried aloud . I pushed him away .
And then, He narrowed his eyes surprisingly and then clenched his teeth.
And oh no!!He ran both of his hands in his hair ...it means he is really pissed now!!
my heart skipped a beat.
" fake? Fake shruti. " he is testing the word as if it is really hard for him to listen this. I stood on my place paralyzed just looking at him. My heart is beating faster and faster.
" if all that is fake..the caring..the affection...the touch...then what is it?" He said hastily and loudly and then he walked to me and ohhh god!!!! His lips are on mine. He grabbed my face with both of his hands tightly and pulled my face to him. He breathed out heavily while kissing me and that turned me on. I moved my hand up and grabbed his hair tightly pulling him to me. The whole impatience, anger, madness, heart broke , all are acting as a fuel...making the kiss wilder. He first kissed me tightly, pinning my lips with his lips not letting me move my lips. I closed my eyes and let myself feel it. Then he bite my lower lip making me groan a little. He moved his hands in my hair and pulled me to him. His tongue is invading my mouth, as if he is longing to kiss me. I kissed him back with his pace, our tongue met, invading each other's mouth . Finally he grabbed me tightly around my waist with one of his hand and kept the other hand on the back of my neck to let my face set on place and then kissed me tightly, and then, he gently pulled his face away. I opened my eyes and looked at him, and he was already looking at me with a shy smile on his face. Both of his arms are tightened around my waist.
" the only girl that can drive me crazy, is you, Ms. Shruti singhania"
I couldn't believe my ears. He touched my forehead with his forehead and finally I smiled...finally he has admitted something. But Priya???
I pulled away and looked up at him. But before I could ask anything he put his finger on my lips . I widen my eyes and looked at him. He smiled and looked at me in my eyes.
"priya is not my girlfriend...she is just a good friend" he said his voice calm and serious.
I exhaled but then turned away to his left.
" oh!! So your good friend can hug you like that..in privacy..hmm...great" I said but can't hide the sarcasm in my comment . He moved and placed his hand on one side of my face and pushed me gently back, so that I can look at him. He smiled and shaked his head. I raised my brows " you are smiling?" My voice is surprised and quickly his smile faded away and he has turned serious again!!
" look!! Shruti...i don't like to be doubted" he clenched his teeth.
God!! He is pissed again!!! I looked down. But then he grabbed my face gently by both of his hands and pushed it back to make me look in his eyes again!!!
" don't go sad." His voice all hot and husky "priya was thanking me that she has got to meet such a wonderful family and in the process...she did that...don't misunderstand please" he said with a voice that anyone could believe him. And then suddenly I remembered alia's comment 'they both had sex also' my heart beat accelerated again. I looked away.
If I will ask him..then he will go all mad again.
" what now?" he startled me. I looked at him slowly and shaked my head " nothing"
He moved his hands on my waist again, his hands are cold, as he placed it there, a shiver ran through me..this feeling is very different. He cocked his head to one side and narrowed his eyes
" what?" He asked and raised his eyebrows
I frowned " nothing"
He clenched his teeth.
" why can't you tell anything just in first time?" His voice is clipped again.
God!!! He really is ,Mr. Change of personality
" you will go mad at me" I said, looking at him with a serious face. He stifled his laugh quickly
" I won't" and shaked his head..trying to be sincere
" you can laugh first" I said and stepped back..removing his hands from my waist.
" oh!! " he smiled and is trying really hard to stifle his grin.
I shaked my head...he is impossible and then I walked away.
He clasped my hand and pulled me back, letting my palms fall on his chest. And yes!! It is firm. Even in the tuxes..i can feel his firm chest.
" ok ask...i won't laugh now" his eyes.. are enjoying in humour but his face is quiet.
I felt my heart again!! Beating really fast.
What if..he get really angry at me??
" umm..had something happened between you two?" I asked trying to be as straight and as calm as possible.
He narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
" I have told you shruti..she is my friend..nothing else" and shaked his head. Finally he released me and moved a little..i moved my hands away from his chest.
" can you just drop it now?" He asked with a irritated face. I exhaled and nodded and then hugged him. He moved a little backwards because of my sudden act.
His hands are around my waist and I moved my hands around his neck. He lifted me upwards a little and hugged me tightly. I also tightened the grip and finally I am laughing. I can sense his grinning too.

Chapter 13
I am all hot in his arms. This place..yes this is the place where I wanted to be..for days!! I am no more unstable. I just want to be here in his arms. I closed my eyes. He has his hands around my waist and we both didn't say a word. Suddenly I realized that we both are getting late to go downstairs.
"Arun?" I whispered shyly
" hmm" he said, his face is on my shoulder and I felt his breathing as he said this.
"you should go downstairs now" I whispered again.
" hmm"
I can feel it that he is smiling.
" what?" I smiled
Finally he pulled away, settling my foot on the floor again and looked at me closely.
I smiled and oh-god why am I feeling so shy??
He smiled and offered his hand to me." Let's go then"
" I think my lips need some caring first" I smiled and looked at him.
He smiled as he know why did I say this..he narrowed his eyes and then suddenly grabbed my face and kissed me again, tightly on my lips.
" yeah!! I think they need some caring now"
I grinned and he grinned back and then he opened the door and went out of the room.
I exhaled and reached at the edge of the bed.
The things that happened just now in this room made me smile .
I cannot believe it...it is arun.
I shaked my head and grinned.
After some minutes..i got ready, did some make up again and then headed to the hall.
I opened the door and looked down from the corridor, I can see many guests.
I went downstairs. The hall is filled up with dj songs. Some children are dancing in the center.
I saw Ryan and alia are coming towards me.
" look the beautiful lady is finally here." Ryan said and kissed on the back of my hands.
I smiled, that's so unlike him.
" finally shree you are here..this idiot was boring me" alia said and grinned.
"whatt?" Ryan raised his brows and we all laughed.
I quickly scanned the room behind them and there he is!! On one of the three couches, on the centered one, with bhaiya. Bhaiya is wearing a nice yellow kurta and white pajama. Suddenly he looked at me and my breathing stopped. He really is the most beautiful guy in this whole world. He gave me his shy smile again and before anyone could notice, I had to look somewhere away.
" shree? Are you with us?" Alia pinched me. I winced." What?"
"you both girls are really very irritating." Ryan teased both of us . I slapped him on his arm and laughed.
Then we all turned towards bhaiya.
" alia? shruti?" I heard aunty is calling us, we turned to see her, she is coming towards us.
" what about mehendi? Go and complete this mehendi stuff." She ordered us and then went away.
" what the hell" Ryan said aloud. He looks irritated now.
" don't worry. I am not going to do this, not now at least" alia said calmly and Ryan looks a little relieved now. I smiled looking at his face. And then we walked towards the couch again. Arun is still sitting there . And bhaiyya is talking on his phone..bhabhi maybe.
" heyy!! What's going on?" Alia rubbed her hands and asked Arun. Very cutely he shruged that he doesn't know and looked at me. Quickly I looked down.
God!! I never do this shy thing...why now??
" you all can sit" he said and stood up and waved alia to sit there beside bhaiya.
" aww !! Thank you bhai" and she grinned. I sat on the right side couch and Ryan on the opposite. Quickly Arun sat beside me. My heart beat accelerated. I looked from the corner of my eyes that he is smiling.
He is crazy.
Suddenly I felt Arun's hand on my waist. God!! I peeked at alia and Ryan quickly but they both look busy talking about something.
I looked at my right to face Arun and widen my eyes.
" don't" I scolded him
He raised his eyebrows. But did not remove his hands.
I saw pooja di is coming towards us, oh god!! Quickly I placed my hand on his hand on my waist and pulled it away.
" heyy!! Let's go for mehendi" di said excitedly.
But I want to be here. The thought made me pout!!
" oh please di" Ryan said.
She narrowed her eyes. And suddenly I realised that Priya is not here.
Suddenly!! alia stood up
" lets dance guys" and ran to a guy who is doing the song task.
And i know she is going to drag me now!!
" come shree" she said aloud. The guy has changed the song to some dance one.
Quickly Ryan stood up and grabbed my hand" get up shruti" he looks excited.
I turned to my right and asked Arun" are you coming?" He narrowed his eyes " no" and made a obvious face. " ok" I said and ran towards alia.
Their relatives are dancing here crazily. Alia took my hand and we all danced together.
And finally after a lot of dancing, I am all tired. " I need a break" I said aloud and turned to the couch beside bhaiya. Arun is not here. I looked at the entrance door and he is talking on his phone. God!!!!
Suddenly I heard the song has been changed to some romantic one.
" come" Ryan ran towards me and took me with him. I went on the dance floor all tired but giggling.
" so shruti mam..lets dance now. May I?" He offered his hand ,I took it and giggled. He grinned and spinned me at my place.
" Ryan" I laughed and said aloud. I will trip down.
And then he placed his hands on my shoulder and I placed mine on his waist.
"let me play the boy now" I said.
I can say I am having fun. Beside us, di and alia are dancing together and all other guests are lost in each other too.
" I am tired now" I gasped
" ok then, let me call raj Bhaiya" he said and went away.
I turned to go towards the couch but then i saw Arun is coming towards me smiling.
" may i have a dance with you, Ms. Shruti?" He asked all smilingly and stretched out both of his hands.
I put my hands in his and smiled. His eyes lost in mine. He squeezed my hand and placed one of my hand on his shoulder and he held the other hand in his, while his other hand is on my waist, giving me shivers throughout my body and yeah!! He started dancing.
He laughed and i laughed back
" you can dance? I didn't know that." I said surprisingly
He squeezed my waist.
" for you...yeah i can dance" he smiled, his eyes not leaving mine.
" i forgot to tell you one thing shruti" he said with all serious face.
My heart beat got fast. What is it???
" what?" I asked and i widen my eyes.
" that you are looking gorgeous in this colour."
"oh"
And then he spinned me around.
I giggled.
And then his hand is back on my waist.
" why do you never wear something ethnic?" I asked innocently. I would love to see him in something of our culture.
he narrowed his eyes " ethnic?"
I nodded.
" hmm..so what you are saying is that i am looking really stupid in this" he said calmly and cocked his head.
I laughed " ofcourse not" I said truthfully. When does he look bad? Never ofcourse.
he laughed back
" it's just that you look like a business man in these clothes" i smiled innocently.
I love his jawline. I want to kiss him there.
" well!! That's what I am shruti" he answered and nodded.
" ok fine...its upto you obviously" I said flatly.
I realized that my hands are on his shoulders and it is... firm and muscular.
What are you doing shruti?? I shaked my head quickly.
" what are you thinking?" He asked and looks amused by something.
I looked away and smiled" nothing"
" look at me" his voice suddenly commanding
I looked back at him and god!! He is hot.
" what is it with Ryan?" He asked out of the blue
I narrowed my eyes.
" what about him?" I asked
" nothing" he said and looked away
" what?" I asked
" you don't look so comfortable with me..the way you look with him" he said innocently and looked at me straight in my eyes.
What??
"I am comfortable with you Arun" I managed only this.
Ryan is friend, he is not moody the way HE is!! And yes I don't feel anything about ryan the way I feel about HIM.
But he does not look satisfied with my answer and shaked his head.
" Arun!! He is a friend" I said calmly.
He raised his eyebrows
" And me?? Who am I??" He asked smilingly.
His eyes are dancing with humour.
" I don't know" I said honestly. Since we both have not talked about this.
" what?" He sounds surprised.
" what..what?" I said teasingly.
" we will talk about this." He said in a boss-like tone.
Ofcourse he is a boss. But..we will talk??? About our status?? When??? I am overwhelmed.
" now listen!! I am going upstairs as you will remain busy in all your today's stuff .ok?" His brows are little raised and he looks really handsome.
I nodded.
" where's priya?" I asked without thinking. Ofcourse I want to know this.
He looks a little surprised by my question. Why??
" I think she is in some room for the mehendi." He looks here and there.
"oh" i don't know why but I am a bit relieved now.
" shruti!! You really don't need to worry about this. Ok?" He asked innocently, his voice convincing.
I smiled and nodded.
" you can go to your room now" I said calmly
I don't have any problem now. Since she is somewhere else.
He nodded and then stopped his moves.
"don't forget to show me your palms" his voice calm and enjoying
God!! He is too formal.
" tomorrow.I will" I said and nodded.
He narrowed his eyes and then went upstairs.
What??
I went to the couch and alia is already sitting there. Oh god!!
" hey alia!! What's going on now?" I asked trying to be casual about yes-i-was-dancing -with-your-brother
"oh!! Nothing..was waiting for you" she winked and then stood up.
What??? Does she know something?? I dashed the thought away quickly.
"let's go and do mehendi" I said calmly .
"yeah sure" she said and then we both headed towards aunty's room in the ending of the hall.
I entered the room , she is here, priya, with pooja di and other relatives.
" come shree and alia" alia's maami ji said aloud.
after an hour , its just me, alia and priya in the room
"so Priya..tell us about you and bhai?" Alia asked out of the blue.
My heart beat accelerated. Yes!! He has already told me about everything but I am still a little insecure.
She laughed.
God!! Why does she laugh on his name. She is not his girlfriend.
" I just want to say that we are together"
Whattt? I stopped breathing
" really?" Alia cried aloud
She nodded
"together like what??? Are you both in a relationship? Are you his girlfriend?" I blurt out and immediately faked a smile.
What is happening to you shruti?
"yes" she smiled a little and nodded
Quickly I realized that I hate this girl. Is she lying?? What if she is not lying?? But Arun won't lie to me.
After that!! We three remained silent..my mind is lost in arun's thought. I need to solve this out.
" I am going to my room now. " alia said when she got done
No!! I don't want to be with her alone.
" ok" priya said and smiled and then looked at me.
Alia got up and then went out.
I kept silent.
" so..shruti!! Do you have any boyfriend?" She asked..straight out.
"umm!! Yeah I think so..i have " I said truthfully
" what does that mean?" Her brow creased
What's her problem??
" we both have not talked about it" I said calmly and smiled. She nodded.
Should I ask that why is she lying?
"look shruti..i know you are talking about Arun but he can't be yours, he is mine. You better keep these words in your mind" she said in a clipped voice and for a moment I didn't realise that what the hell is happening.
"what?" My voice totally surprised. " Arun and yours? You are seriously a shameless girl. Why the hell are you Lying to everyone about yourself and Arun" I snapped at her.
Bitch!!
" You are mistaken shruti. He likes me too" she said with such a tone that I almost believed her.
" fine. I will talk to Arun about this." I said and thank god!! My mehendi is done on time
Is she a psychopath??? Does Arun likes her too?
I quickly climbed the stairs and reached to my room and locked it.
I don't believe a word that she is saying.
I reached to the bed and sat on the edge. Within half an hour my mehendi got dry. I checked my phone and oh its 2:00 am. Quickly I changed into t-shirt and PJ's. The thought that he wants to see my mehendi..made me smile.
I lied on the bed .
Tomorrow...i only have tomorrow!! I widen my eyes. And then what??
I don't want this. Please. We haven't even talked.
Suddenly I heard my phone's message receiving tone. I grabbed my phone
And hell!! It's from arun
*come upstairs*
Terrace??? I widen my eyes and grinned. I sat on the bed. Oh god!!
My heart beat accelerated.
Quickly I get off the bed and checked myself in the mirror. I am wearing an orange coloured t-shirt and same green PJ's.
Should I change?? No shree!! Its cool. Let's go and meet mr. Attitude
I opened the door and scanned the corridor. There's no one and quickly I ran towards my right and climbed the stairs. I opened the terrace door and stepped in. My heart beat is faster because of the excitement.
I looked at my left, there's Arun's stuff on the table but he is not here .
Suddenly I felt a hand around my waist, "shruti" it's arun, his voice is calm and loving this time, he lifted me and spinned me like i am a small child. Finally he settled me on the floor, I turned around to look at him.
Hell!!
He is hot. And he is mine. He is in a vest and a black leather jacket and PJ's. His face all smiling and sincere. I smiled shyly.
"hi" I said calmly, looking at his face.
"hi" his voice all-hot
Within no seconds I found our breathing rate changed. Hastily I grabbed his face in both of my hands and pulled it down and kissed him. His hands quickly moved to my back and pulled me closer. His lips are parting mine and finally he deepened the kiss.
I pulled away gently and placed my head on his chest. Both of our body has turned hot. He placed his chin on my hair and inhaled deeply.
"what was that for?" He teased me
I smiled and inhaled the scent of his chest.
"I missed you" I said honestly.
I don't know how will I go away after tomorrow.
" me too" he said and kissed me on my hair .
And then he pulled away gently and looked at me and smiled.
"what were you doing?" I asked curiously
"work" he said politely. Ofcourse!! I shaked my head.
I turned and reached the reeling just to see the surrounding. It is cold here. He comes and stand beside me.
" it is beautiful around here" I said, lost in the beauty and things that are happening in my life. Suddenly the thought of priya came to my mind.
" shruti?? Is it a habit now?" Suddenly I heard his voice clipped .
I looked at him. "what?" I asked
He clenched his teeth and removed his jacket and put it on me again!! God!! He overreacts. Alot
Quickly I moved to him and he placed his hand around me. I placed my head back on his chest.
"let's go out" his voice calm
"what?" My voice surprised. I pulled away and looked at him.
"yeah!! Let's go out."
I narrowed my eyes. Out?? At this time??
"you are crazy. What if someone finds out?" I asked my voice still surprised
He narrowed his eyes
" don't worry about that. Let's go. No need to change. You are looking beautiful as usual"
Wow!! Night out with Arun. I am jumping from inside.
I grinned and he grinned after seeing my expression.
"ok." I said

Chapter 14
God!! I am going out with him for the first time. But I seriously can't go in these stupid clothes. I need to change.
suddenly He stopped at the door of the terrace and turned around.
"what" I asked
He smiled and came back towards me "your palms?" he smiled and then took my hands and stretched them straight.
Whoa!! He did not forget. I smiled and looked at his face who is examining my mehendi. He looks amused. I narrowed my eyes. Finally he looked up and smiled "it is beautiful"
I smiled and looked down. And then he turned around again towards the door.
"arun?" I said and he turned again. He raised his brows with all smiling face.
" I need 10 minutes for changing" my voice,innocent . I don't know if he will freak out or not.
He narrowed his eyes " if you are not comfortable in your clothes then it's fine. You can change. I am waiting outside" his voice is calm and concerned. He moved towards me , lean down a little and kissed me on my cheek. I flushed. He then turned and went downstairs. I followed him, he went downstairs to the hall and I rushed inside the room.
What should I wear? I am getting a panic attack. God!! I need to match-up with him. He is gloriously hot but me?? What should I wear.
Within some minutes I got ready in some casuals. I chose black jagging, golden striped top and my black leather jacket and flip flops. I grabbed his jacket and moved outside, scanned the corridor and ran to the hall and hastily ran outside and exhaled. God!!
I saw Arun, all ready with his black Audi. I opened the passenger door and jumped inside. Arun is smiling. I flushed!!
" buckle-up" he smiled. I quickly rolled on the seat belt and he accelerated the engine. Here we go!!
My heart is pounding because of this unexpected drive.
" so where are we going?" I am curious. I looked at him and he grinned.
"ice cream" his voice is calm .
Whoa!! Ice cream. I love ice cream
" ice cream?" I asked , my pitch went a little high this time.
Get a grip shree!!
Suddenly his face falls
"you love cream. I mean you did . Don't you now?" He looked at me expectedly.
"ofcourse I still love ice cream. But how do you know that?" I am surprised. How does he know this??
He grinned. "I noticed it earlier"
Whoa!! Really???
" but you never really talked to me?" I asked and then looked at him. His face is serious now.
"neither did you." He said calmly, his eyes straight on the road.
Me??? I narrowed me eyes and looked out of the window.
Yeah!! That never really occurred to me. I could also talk to him. I nodded slightly.
Suddenly!!!
" well the thing is..we both never really talked to each other before, which I guess...somewhere is fine!! We both were teens shruti...i hope you are getting me?" He raised his brows.
I kept looking at him, understanding each word that came out of his beautiful mouth. And yes!! I agree..somewhere it is good. Finally I nodded and he smiled and looked back on the road.
"yeah!! It could have made a lot of difference...negative or positive..can't say" I muttered more to myself but he grinned listening to my each word. I smiled back..his eyes are fixed on the road and in the meantime...i took a picture of his face in my mind. His so beautiful face.
"what are you doing shruti?" He asked...startling me from my gawking. And then he looked at me with all-smiling-face. I smiled back my shy smile.
Caught staring. I must have gone crimson.
I hastily moved my hand to the music player's touch screen and played a song. A song same old love' by Celena Gomez started playing.
"old love. Huh?" He grinned and I couldn't help myself except from grinning back.
"where is it Arun?" I asked scanning the roads and sidewalk..which are not really visible due to the darkness.
"just few more minutes" he said innocently "you are not enjoying my company that means" he teased me.
Ofcourse!! he know that..i enjoy his company more than anything. I rolled my eyes.
" you know that..it isn't true" I said flatly.
He raised his eyebrows and then looked at me.
"then what is true?" He said...his voice husky and hot. My breathing stopped at the moment. I quickly look down, I can't look at him, he makes me shy. I pouted.
" you won't be spared today. Tell me" his voice a little soothing but mixed with some command too.
God!! Why doesn't he take any prisoners?? He is not sparing me now...not even when I am looking down.
I peeked up at him, his eyes on the road but looking at me from the corner of his eyes sometimes.
" I love spending time with you Arun..this is the truth" I said , my voice calm and caressing his name. And then looked at him, his eyes showing what..love?? Or longing?? I don't know
And yes!! I am rewarded by his shy smile. My heart beat gone faster and I got Goosebumps on my hand. He moved his hand up from the gear and brushed the back of his hand on my cheek. I tilted my face to feel his hand and closed my eyes, his hand is giving me shivers throughout my body.
"we are here" suddenly he said, his voice all excited and loving.
I opened my eyes, the car is parked in front of an ice cream parlour which has a glass door and the tiles on the wall are ochre.
I moved my face to look at him and whoa!! He is already regarding me closely. I paused my all the activities for a second. How can anyone look this hot in these simple clothes.
He removed his seat belt and then lean forward, He cupped my chin and tilt my head backwards and kissed me on my lips briefly. " let's go" he looks happy. Is this me who is making him this much happy?? I smiled back and then we both jumped out of the car. His jacket his still in my hands. He handed the keys to the valet to park the car.
"your jacket Arun" i said and handed him his jacket. He quickly shrugged it on and then clasped my hand and took me inside the parlour.
It's a nice place, lightened by white light, ochre tiles on the floor. There are two couples on the right side table and a family in the centre. They all started staring us!! Some of them looks interested in Arun and some are staring me. Whoa!!!
Suddenly Arun moved his arm around my shoulder "you sit and I"ll fetch the stuff"
"let's go together" i said and smiled innocently.
"ok come" we walked towards the brown counter, Arun moved his hand from my shoulder and clasped my hand again. Here, across the counter are two boys and a girl , standing, all dressed in their white and red uniform.
"hot coffee or cold coffee?" Arun asked me in a guarded tone.
"coffee? Well cold." I said and narrowed my eyes. He then turned towards the boy,
" well then one tropical iceberg, one cafe latte, one chocolate flavoured ice cream and one sizzle dazzle brownie" he ordered with such a quick flow that even the guys straightened themselves.
Why is he ordering a dozen of items??
"anything else ?" He looked at me and looks all-yummy.
"umm..not really" I said with a too-calm voice. A smile appeared on his face as a reaction to my answer.
"two minutes sir" the guy smiled his professional smile and scuttled away. Arun squeezed my hand.
"not here" I whispered. He smiled and shaked his head.
Within no minutes the guy came with our order. Arun grabbed the tray and signalled me to choose a table , I moved and chose a table which is at the extreme corner and at the left to the door.
The couple sitting in here started staring us again. Jeez!! Go and stare someone else.
We sat down on the chair, opposite each other.
" you don't like ice cream?" I asked as I scanned all the four things on the tray.
He looked at me straight in my eyes..making me blush a little,
"well" he said and grabbed the ice cream plate quickly. I narrowed my eyes "heyy!! Give me my ice cream back " and moved my hands here and there, following my ice cream as he fly it in the air, with his so-damn-much -graceful hands. He laughed, showing his perfect white teeth. I pouted when it was impossible for me to get my ice cream back.
Suddenly his eyes darken and he placed the ice cream tray on the table, his eyes not leaving mine.
He took a spoonful of ice cream and put that into my mouth. I had it!! Yummy!!!! And then he quickly moved forward and kissed me on my lips again.
Quickly he pulled away,
" hmmm...ice cream is really good shruti" he smiled and winked. I scowled!! He doesn't give a damn about anyone else. He scowled back and then laughed. I grinned. How can I resist him??
I took my cold coffee and took a sip. Hmm..his choice is really good. No doubt!!
He took his coffee and sipped it. His hot gaze penetrating my eyes.
"so..we both had to talk about something" he said calmly and cocked his head to one side to read my expression.
Talk??? I looked down on the table. Whoa!! I am not that brave in one to one conversation.
" shruti!! Just look at me first" his voice convincing and a little stern. My heart is in my throat.
I peeked up at him through my eyelashes.
" don't look cute shruti..not here at least" he smiled and just looked away.
I narrowed my eyes. "well!! I am cute..i am not trying to be cute" I said proudly and grinned.
He grinned back and shaked his head and looked at me.
" let's just finish first" his voice suddenly clipped and hasty.
He took a fork and ate his brownie. I took another fork and moved to his brownie, he smiled and moved the plate towards my side, I took a piece and put it into my mouth, hmm..nice.
I made an appreciative expression. He laughed and nodded and then I went back to my yumm ice cream. I fed him my ice cream.
And finally we both are done.
" let's go then..i don't want anyone to find out about us" I said hastily, my tone must be sounding worried.
" why are you so worried about anyone finding out about us?" He said irritatingly. His face made me want to laugh but I kept it straight. He narrowed his eyes and then stood up, stretched his hand . I put my hand into his and stood up, walked towards the door and came out of the parlour.
God!! It is cold here.
He took the keys of his car from the man. And we both headed to the left to the parking area, aah!! here's the car. We walked and suddenly I felt an electricity between us.
He clasped my hand tightly and pulled me to him and then pushed me at the side of the car.
His body crushing mine. Our breathing rate changed and in no second his mouth is on mine, his hands in my hair and my hands on his shoulder blades, pulling him to me. He kissed me passionately, I kissed him back with equal passion.
Finally!! We pulled away. Both gasping and breathing hardly.
" if anyone finds out...then the thing which will matter is what you want." He said in all-hot and husky voice. I stood there my hand on his waist . I smiled shyly.
" understood?" He raised his brows a little. I nodded and there it is.. his beautiful smile.
Suddenly priya came to my mind. I should ask him about her. But...it will ruin our moment.
"what now?" He asked and cocked his head to one side.
I shaked my head "nothing"
He clenched his teeth. God!!!
"let's just sit in the car first" he ordered and stepped back a little.
I know..he won't spare me until I tell him what I am thinking.
He moved towards the driver seat and I quickly reached to the passenger seat and jumped in. I fixed the seat belt around me while he was fixing his. He accelerated the engine and brought the car back on the main road.
"thank you. Coffee, ice cream,brownie everything was good" I smiled, looking at him.
He smiled back "pleasure was all mine shruti" and he looked at me briefly."now tell me" his voice stern again..
Mr.unpredictable
"it will ruin your mood" I said, my pitch too low, wondering if he will remain cool or will freak out.
"well!! If you won't tell me what it is ..then that will ruin my mood..for sure" he half smiled.
I looked down. My heartbeat faster...what if..she is right. What will he say about that?
Suddenly he moved his hand to mine and squeezed it gently "say it" his voice calm and gentle
"umm..actually today when I was there in aunty's room for mehendi, priya was there too!! She said you both are together" I said a little too calmly and peeked up at him through my eyelashes.
Within no time his brow creased.
"what?" His tone surprised. He looked at me with all-angry looks. My heart rate accelerated. This is not going to end well. I looked down at my fingers immediately.
"she said that... not me" I said as a way of clarification. My heart is in my mouth right now. The temperature of my body gone low.
" what did she say?" He asked ..his voice all-angry.
God!! Shruti..why did you even tell him???
" that you like her too" my voice all flat and scared.
He clenched his teeth.
" if it comes to liking then yes of course I like her..she is my friend shruti..why are you after her?" His voice irritated this time.
"what??" Words just came out of my mouth.
How can he even say this.
" I am not after your friend Arun. And thanks for telling me that you like her too" I hissed at him.
I am feeling myself filled with so much jealousy.
"shruti" his voice calm again.
"don't"
"ok tell me what else that she said" he sounds calm again.
" nothing"
"tell me"
" god!!!" I am seriously frustrated now. "She said that you are hers..and she warned me that you can never be mine" I said with clenched teeth.
He laughed "what?" And shaked his head.
I growled , looking at him. He turned to me and turned all-quiet.
" yes..go on...laugh" my tone sounds like some hurt tone!! Quickly I looked out of the window.
I hate myself..looking this helpless.
" please just drive a little faster. I wanna reach home sooner" my voice clipped and irritated.
How can he laugh at this??? He doesn't care about me..it is clear now. Suddenly I felt some pain in my chest.
"ok..i won't laugh now!! Tell me what you wanna say?" His voice calm and concerned which can thaw my heart.
I shaked my head and kept looking out of the window.
"shruti!! Say it"
Oh god!!!
" I think she likes you" and then I turned and looked at him to see his expression.
He is looking straight on the road and nodded a little..with all-serious face.
"well!! I don't like her the way she likes me" he glanced at me quickly and I am..all-widen eyes.
"you knew it..she likes you?" I almost shouted.
Get a grip shree!!!
"of course I know it shruti!! What is so surprising?" And again!!! There he is all irritated. But I should not get affected...i need to know..everything.
"no..nothing is surprising" I snapped at him
And again!! I moved my eyes..out of the window.
How should I react to this? Am I okay with her...she likes him..and he doesn't mind???
" god!! Shruti..tell me what do you want me to do?" He really is angry now. My inner self got shaken by his loud voice.
"I don't know" I muttered and looked down.
"either stop behaving like this or tell me what do you want" he really is mad now. I peeked to my right, his grip is tightened around the steering wheel.
What do i want??? What do I want?? I don't want that psychopath to be around him.
" I am waiting" his voice clipped and I can feel it that he is angry.
Why is he getting angry?
We both have not even defined our relationship, how am i supposed to say something like that to him?
Suddenly he pulled over the car and I got thrown back on my seat. My heart is thumping like a drum again!! My breathing stopped.
I looked down immediately. I know what is going to happen.
"now!! Say it" he turned to me, his voice cold and loud.
"I don't know what to say" I muttered calmly..with all frightened and lost feelings.
"yes you do"
Suddenly he moved his hand and clasped mine. I quick shiver ran through my body. I looked at him..and his face is all concerned and expecting some answer.
"I don't know..how to say it...but..see..the thing is..i..i..don't want any girl claiming you to be hers" my voice all calm and my eyes are looking straight in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows a little and mouthed 'ooh' and then his mouth twitched into a beautiful smile.
Whoa!! I looked down immediately.
"hey!! Its fine" he cupped my chin with his fingers and made me look at him again!!
"any girl..huh? Are you jealous Ms. Shruti" and came back his teasing tone. I smiled "of course not..why would I"
He looks amused "well!! Looks like you are."
Am i?? may be yes. But is he going to talk to her about this???
"so?" I looked at him and asked as he is in a good mood again.
"so what? Do you want me to talk to priya about this?"
I looked down immediately...not knowing what to say. Well!! What I want is coming out to be selfish.
" are you okay that she says this to every single person... that you both are in a relationship" I asked my tone is calm and aware of his changing mood.
" I don't mind..because I know there's nothing like that" he shrugged
"what?" Words came out of my mouth instantly. I raised my brows.
"hell!! Shruti..what should I do then?" He ran his hand through his hand and shaked his head. He looked out of the window and to me again.
" just explain yourself to her. What do you want or what is true." He paused. I looked at him in the eyes..is he still mad??
"she will get hurt" his tone a little lost and concerned.
"well!! It is up to you then" my tone clipped and quickly I looked out of the window.
I heard him exhaling and I know he is angry.
"ok..i will talk to her" his voice calm and trusting.
What?? Really??
" well!! You don't need to" I looked at him and he looks sincere.
"yes..i do" he said gently
And then he..started the car and headed towards the house.
Within 10 minutes we reached the house.
"I am going first" I said once we came out of the car.
"wait!!" He clasped my hand and pulled me . I raised my brows. "you know that right..that this is our last night together ..tomorrow we won't be having time..like this" he said all sincerely and lovingly
I looked down and nodded.
"you know that you are important to me..right?" He asked , his one hand is snaking around my waist and other hand is on one side of my face, making me look at him.
I flushed!!
"no..i don't know that" I said in all-calm voice and a little teasing.
He raised his brows "well!! Then what can I do to make you realize that?" He asked..and looks amused. I shrugged...indicating him..i-don't -know.
He laughed and shaked his head.
"ok.then go inside and go to sleep ,you need to sleep now"
Whoa!! What happened to make- me- realize part. I nodded and stepped back. He released me and then I don't know what happened to me..i stepped closer to him and kissed him tightly on his cheeks. My hand on one side of his face and quickly his hand moved around my waist. "good night" I pulled away and smiled.
"good night" he smiled and kissed me back on my cheeks. And then I turned and ran back inside. Quickly I scanned the hall and corridor...there's no one. I ran towards the stairs and climbed up, ran to the left and stepped inside my room, locking the door behind me.
Quickly I changed and jumped on the bed..lost in the thoughts of Mr.attitude...and then i dozed off.

Chapter 15
I am at home..with dad, but, whoa!! When did i come back?? Arun?? What about him?? I never talked to him after we went for the ice cream. I am never gonna meet him again.
"No!!!!" I cried out aloud and sat on my bed..my whole body is perspiring. I looked around me and exhaled. I am still in uncle's house. I was dreaming. A relieved smile spread across my face. I put both of my palms in my hair. I cannot let that happen..i will have to talk to him today about our relationship.
Tomorrow?
"no!! Tomorrow...i am going back" disappointment can easily be felt in my voice.
I checked my phone and it is 7:00 am. I can't waste my time in sleeping, let's go downstairs.
I jumped off the bed and went inside the washroom. I came out in half an hour. I am still in my PJ's. I have decided to bath a little late today. I walked towards the door and opened it, stepped out and reached the corridor. I looked down at the hall, aunty, their relatives, Ryan, di , alia and everyone else are sitting around the sofa, some around the dining table and some on the floor.
"good morning beautiful" I heard my favourite voice and instantly a smile spread across my face. I looked at my right and there he is, all perfectly dressed up in his tuxes..but why?? He is looking exceptionally handsome today!! But yeah!! He always looks this handsome.
"good morning..mr.handsome" I said confidently..knowing that he feels something for me. My face easily reveals my feelings for this man.
"handsome??" He looks amused "well!! These are just looks Ms.shruti" his voice amused and proud. My inner self shaked her head, giving full approval that how appropriate his name is- mr. attitude.
" are you going somewhere?" I asked distracted by his clothes again!!
"well!! I was thinking of going somewhere but since you woke up so early today..I can delay that for sometime" his voice all soft and loving.
"ooh" I said
Wow!!!! He wants to stay for me??
Suddenly!!
" shruti?? You really wanna go tomorrow?" His voice turned all concerned suddenly.
I looked at him
"there's no other option" I said calmly
"you wanna go?" He creased his brow and looks surprised
No. The simplest answer of his question is 'no'. I don't want to go away from him.
And Suddenly his phone rings.
" yes" he said a little irritated.
I peeked up at him. He is one beautiful person. How can anyone be this good looking? I wonder. His brows are a little creased right now. He is listening with concentration and suddenly his eyes meets mine, I stopped breathing for an instant. His expression doesn't change, but his eyes remain fixed , locking and penetrating deep into my soul. I stood their paralyzed, saying nothing just listening and watching him.
" well!! It would be their loss,...yeah...what?? No. " his tone a little harsh this time.
" well!! They don't have a say in this. I am the boss, if they want that deal then they will have to do everything"
I stand their, listening him. He looks busy, he must go for his work.
I looked down at the hall, everyone's busy with their clothes, some with food and all are laughing and talking. Tomorrow is my last day here. I don't have much time. Suddenly Arun's harsh voice startled me.
" don't. I'll be there"
What happened??
And finally he hangs up the phone.
" I think you should go" I said calmly. I should not make him stay.
" go downstairs, I am coming" his voice clipped .
Whoa!! What have i done??
I stood there for a second and then turned and moved downstairs.
I reached at the hall and spotted alia, Ryan and di on the sofa. Priya isn't here. I won't ask Arun about her..he already looks pissed. Though I don't know why?
I walked towards the sofa.
"heyy!! Come babe" alia laughed and signalled me to sit on the sofa.
They all are busy in wrapping gifts.
"what's up?" I asked casually, I need something to divert me.
" this is for Bhabhi from my side" alia said and ryan laughed appreciatively.
I laughed back and looked up at the corridor but Arun is not there now.
What is with him and his changing moods?? I shaked my head.
For some time I kept myself busy in wrapping gifts for the guests.
"bhai" I heard alia's pleased voice.
I looked up and to my right. Arun's standing there, ready to go. I felt a little disappointed. I always feel a little lonely without him.
"I am going" he said calmly to alia and then looked at me as if he is saying this to me. I half smiled.
"no!!!!!! Not today" alia mewed and then pouted.
" bi" he said without responding to her response and then turned and walked towards the door.
" its fine, he will be back soon" di gave us a reassured smile and then I realized I must be giving the same expressions as of alia's and we both smiled back.
After that, we all discussed about how we are going to dance today during barat. Ryan told us about some incidents. All the relatives are bathed and arranging their stuff for today. We selected a shoes hiding place for today's ritual as ryan showed us the pics of the venue. We all had our breakfast and then Alia took me to her room and asked me about her clothes and accessories. After that where the day went, i have no idea. Last I checked time, it was 2 in the afternoon. We all helped their relatives with their work.
"oh my god!!!! Girls..check out the time, it's 4:00 already we all have to get ready" alia cried out on the sofa.
" yeah please girls just go..i don't want to get late on my own wedding" bhaiya laughed as he is lying flat on the sofa, with one arm over his face .
We all laughed back.
"yes..yes..go on laughing!! But Don't forget it is us who everyone would want to see today...not you bhaiya " she teased bhaiya
"what?" Bhaiya laughed
All these things, but still..something is missing...well someone to be precise. I can feel a void at my chest..his absence...makes me helpless, boring and less-interested.
Suddenly...i saw aunty is coming towards us
" don't you all have to do your grooming?" Aunty asked.. She looks happy...and yeah why won't she? We all are happy and excited.
"have you talked to bhai?" alia asked out of the blue
" yes!! He is a little busy...I wonder, how my son is managing?" suddenly aunty turned all sad.
This is true, even today..he has work to do. This thought made me depressed.
" don't worry, I have talked to him, he will come back in an hour for sure" bhaiya reassured all of us after seeing our upset faces.
After that we all...one by one ran to our rooms..to just start up the procedure. Once I am in the room, I realised there is so much that I have to do.
The thought of Arun...crossed my mind again..he is not here...from some hours and I am missing him already. Come back..Arun.
And after the whole missing Arun moment, I decided to call dad.
"heyy!! Dad...when will you get here?" I asked..my voice soft.
"shree...i am on my way.." I felt, dad's smile...and in no moment I realized that I am missing my dad a lot..it's just been two days but I am missing him.
"okay!! Come sooner ..love you dad" and I hang up the phone.
It is evening now and I have not even started anything. I immediately dashed into the washroom and came out after some one hour. I am going to wear a dark green coloured lehenga with a silver heavy stoned-work blouse and a dark green coloured dupatta. I changed my clothes and wore my beautiful green dress, styled my hair, did my makeup and wore my silver heels. I styled my dupatta around my neck and finally I am ready. I glanced myself in the mirror and smiled, good work. Finally!!I grabbed my phone and whoa!! Its 7:00 pm.
I should check on everyone. I came out of my room and turned left for alia's room. I knocked her door.
" one minute" she cried and i heared her footsteps, coming to open the door. The door got unlocked and, there she is.
Whoa!! She is looking gorgeous, dressed in pink lehenga, navy blue blouse and pink dupatta. We both grinned in an appreciative way while examining each other.
" wow alia" I finally complemented her.
"what??" she said immediately " I am wow??? Haven't you looked at yourself?" Her pitch is too high and her expression appreciative.
I smiled.
" well!! I think..i am your fan now" she teased me.. And we both laughed.
" lets go then" i waved my hand towards the corridor.
"yeah!! Lets go downstairs" she half smiled "you know what..i think bhai is not in a good mood " she said and pouted
Arunn?? All of my sense organs got straightened up on arun's mentioning.
When did he come back??
"why??" Finally i asked and tried not to react too much but i guess i failed.
She paused " well!! I don't know..but i dare not ask him..not now at least"
I nodded. Perhaps i should talk to him.
" let's go downstairs, no one interferes him when he is in a bad mood. Actually..that's what bhai wants, not to be interfered" she gave me a tight smile.
I nodded.
But..i haven't seen him..since morning.
" you go downstairs, i am coming" i said calmly and smiled "everyone must be waiting"
"ok" she smiled and ran towards the hall.
I exhaled and then turned around. Suddenly My heartbeat accelerated. I am too nervous to talk to him, but right now i want to see him.
I summoned my strength and walked towards his room and knocked. My heart is thumping like a drum again, all i can hear is my heart beat and all i am feeling is nervousness.
I knocked again..
" come in" i heard his voice..clipped but his pitch is higher and irritated.
My heart skipped a beat. I can't step back now. I opened the door wide and there he is, sitting on the chair, his legs spread on the edge of the bed, and he is working on his laptop, he hasn't changed his clothes, he is still in his tuxes, he is looking at his laptop's screen, even at this time, he is all handsome and wannabe. Suddenly he looked up and got still. I stood their paralyzed under his all-hot gaze. My heart never stopped its rhythm. Seconds, minutes passed and we both remained same at our positions.
"Do you have any idea..about how ravishing you are looking right now?" He said it so slowly and so clearly. His tone seductive and trustworthy.
My whole body turned to attention on his complement. I smiled my so genuine smile and realised that how much I have missed him today.
"but what happened to you...you should be downstairs?" Finally I asked. He should not be working today. Soon i regretted over my question as his whole expression changed almost instantly.
" do you need anything?" His voice turned cold. He has turned into a different personality within some fraction of seconds.
I narrowed my eyes and couldn't believe the way his mood flipped.
"No..but"
"go, I am coming" his voice irritated this time.
God!! What's eating him?
" why are you working..you should be downstairs right now" words came out on their own from my mouth.
" shruti!! I said I am coming..now please just go"
Did he just asked me to go out?? I stood their like a stupid, wondering at what kind of specimen he is.
" I can't see priya anywhere today" I said, my voice calm and my pitch low, extremely low actually.
" god !! Shruti!!!" He cried out, kept his laptop on the bed and stood-up. My heart rate reached at its peak. " what the hell do you want...when she was here..all you did was complaining and now..when she is gone...you still!!!!" He ran his hand in his hair, his face turned red.
Oh god!!!!!!! I want to run away from here right now.
Suddenly my vision got blurred and after that, I realized that I got tears in my eyes. I looked down...Is this,his behaviour...has something to do with her?? And how could he say this to me?? What have i done?? Suddenly I feel so much anger...anger for him. I looked up,
"i still what..say it Arun" i said bravely, my voice is low but authoritative.
He ran his hand in his hair, as if, he regretted over what he said. He closed his eyes for some second and then opened them,
"shruti" he walked towards me
I stretched my palm straight indicating him to stop.
" you know what Arun...thank you for making me realize that I shouldn't have come here" my voice full of sarcasm..I hissed acid this time.
He gasped, surprised on my outburst.
"shruti" he said with his approaching voice this time and ran his one hand in his hair again.
But now!! I just don't want to listen anything. I turned and ran out of his room. My mind and feelings are all over the place. I feel anger..but may be..he really is having some problems at his work..but he shouldn't have talked to me like that. His angry face came in front of my eyes again. Why does he get so much angry always??

Chapter 16 http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4559327&PID=130762624&#p130762624

How dare he talk to me like that? No!! I am not going to ruin my mood anymore. I am gonna go..and enjoy..just forget about him. I have missed him so much today...and what did he do?? Yelled at me. Does he know anything else?? And if he is angry...then he could have talked to me. This guy is unbelievable...he knows that we won't get any time their..still..he is just pissed. And what about that psychopath...where's she gone?? Well..honestly..i don't care.
Suddenly..alia's voice pulled me back to the reality.
" shree??? Come down. We will have to leave" alia cried out and she sounds excited.
" I am coming" I answered from the corridor.
I looked down..everyone's ready to go.
Just go. If he doesn't give a damn about you then you also should not think anything about him.
I ran down the stairs and reached the hall. Ryan, di, alia, bhaiya and aunty all are standing together. Bhaiya is wearing a dark brown coloured heavy ,groom style kurta and white pajama with a beautiful turban at head. Ryan is in ethnic too, he is wearing a light green kurta and white pajama. I walked towards them..and everyone smiled, uncle kept on talking.
"he is coming..i have talked to him..let's go..he will be there..it must be some work. Don't worry" uncle said and gave a smile to alia.
And then I realized they are talking about 'him'.
"let's go everyone" Ryan said and rubbed his hands . He looks excited.
We all smiled and then I realized I am excited too. I looked at bhaiyya and he is blushing.
"bhaiya!! Get ready" alia teased bhaiya and he flushed. I grinned.
" come on guys" one of their relative shouted from the door, we all walked towards the door and reached outside. Seven cars are parked one behind the other.
" I am gonna sit with you Bhaiya" alia said and pouted. I laughed.
" yeah sure. You, shree, Ryan can come with me" he smiled and looks a little nervous.
After that..we all four got settled in the car, Ryan is on the driver's seat. He started the car and we are headed to the venue. The venue is not far away, just at a distance of 30-40 minutes. We all look excited.
" let me call dad" I said hastily, remembering that he hasn't called me.
" don't worry..he will be there at the venue in 10 minutes..dad just called uncle " bhaiya said and smiled.
"oh" I smiled back and nodded.
After that, we all got busy in talking about today. We have planned to dance at the entrance of the venue. We passed the ice cream parlour, where Arun took me last night. He was all fun and happy yesterday. I remembered when he kissed me in the parlour. The thought made me smile. He is sweet when he is not pissed at something.
No!! Shree..you are mad at him. Don't get happy remembering him. Don't let his sweet side..take over your madness.
Suddenly..ryan broke the silence in the car.
" alia..i have heard about Bhabhi's cousin..what about them.huh?" Ryan looked excited . We all laughed at his eagerness.
"yes Ryan..all her sisters are beautiful and yes that cousin..on the engagement day..u remember shree? " she grinned and asked.
Cousin?? On engagement?? Finally..a boy clicked me..that one on stage who lifted Bhabhi.
"yeah!! Yeah" I finally said
" he is handsome..isn't he?" Her eyes glittered with excitement.
Bhaiya and Ryan, both shaked their head and made an annoyed face but then smiled.
" yes..that he is" I smiled
She clapped her hands silently.
"well!! Forget about 'him' concentrate on bhabhi's sisters" Ryan teased us.
"ok..fine..then you could go and talk to one of them today" alia's pitch went higher.
Ryan grinned and nodded.
After some time when we were getting closer to the venue, we can hear the sound of drums and various instruments.
" hurrah!!! We are almost there" alia jumped on her seats. Her activities made me laugh.
"god!! I don't know why but my heart is beating really fast" bhaiya said and then grinned, his one hand is on his chest. I grinned back.
" haha..really?" Alia looks surprised but excited.
Ryan laughed.
In no time we are at the entrance of the venue. It is one storied white building with lots and lots of purple and white lights everywhere on the road, trees, buildings. The entrance door is decorated with red and white flowers, balloons. I can see lots of guests standing at the entrance, they must be bhabhi's relatives. Outside the entrance..just in front of us, I saw uncle, aunty and dad. Wow.. Dad has come finally. I grinned on seeing dad. Suddenly..alia grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the car.
When did she got out?
" shreee..." She squealed "oh my god!! I am too excited...it's time..let's dance...ryan let's go." she commanded everyone and is jumping with excitement. Suddenly bhaiya got panicked but is laughing
" what about me?" He asked innocently
Right then, uncle, aunty all other relatives pulled bhaiya outside. A Driver took away the car and finally we all are at the front of the entrance. There is a lot of sound because of the drums. Alia dragged me and di and we all started dancing. A little later Ryan joined us too. Most of the elders took bhaiya for a ritual to the entrance where may be bhabhi's mother is doing some stuff. We all danced crazily. Suddenly alia cried while dancing,
"you saw that cousin over there" she pointed towards a guy in awesome black worked indo western standing at the entrance and watching us. He is looking good.
"yes" I cried and laughed.
" I think we are going to have fun" and then alia winked at me.
I laughed.
For some more minutes we kept on dancing and dancing, with each other and with their relatives, children everyone.
" let's get in children" suddenly dad came to us, he is smiling.
" dad!!!!!" I mewled and hugged him
" I am here now" he said and his words comforted me. I smiled .
" yes!! I am hungry..let's get in" Ryan gasped.
We all walked towards bhaiya where his would be mother and father in law are greeting him. I saw a bunch of girls, who are bhabhi's cousins coming towards bhaiya, with a 'pooja ki thali' in their hands. I nudged Ryan and he laughed. I spotted bhabhi's cousin too ,who is, I don't know may be looking at me.
" shree!!!" Alia cried and pushed Ryan aside and stood beside me
" handsome is staring you" she grinned
What??? No.
" no!! Look harder. He is staring at you" i said making an annoyed face
" we will see that" alia giggled
" oh please..you both irritating girls..just concentrate on those hot shots" Ryan came in between and pointed towards the girls. I looked at those girls who are looking in our direction, but not at us, not even at bhaiya. I turned to see in their direction that who these girls are staring. I turned and...my heart skipped a beat, my breathing stopped, my body paralyzed.
Coming from the crowd is a guy, who everyone is appreciating and shaking hands and the guy is in ethnic. He is wearing a silver coloured heavy kurta and white pajama.
And Oh my god!! The guy is Arun..really it's him. I stood their wide eyes. He is ...looking extremely...out of this world handsome. His dark brown hair are all perfectly styled and he is walking towards us. My heart beat gone faster and i couldn't move.
" bhaiii!!!!" Suddenly alia jumped and hugged him. He smiled. He looked at me but i quickly looked away. I remember that i asked him ,on mehendi , that why he doesn't wear anything ethnic. I couldn't believe it that he is wearing this because I asked him, but right now I am mad at him. So, Immediately i turned around to face the entrance again. My heart continued to beat faster and faster. Bhaiya's father in law is still doing some pooja. Alia stood beside bhaiya and i beside her. I looked at those girls who are still staring Arun.
And Suddenly I felt his presence near me, when I turned to see, he is standing here, behind me and alia. Our eyes met and he smiled. I turned away quickly.
Suddenly I felt a finger on the lower side of my back and I know it's him. His finger is cold. His touch gave me a quick shiver throughout my body. I removed his finger quickly by my hand and moved a little forward so that he can no more touch me . I looked at those girls again, who are now saying something to each other while their eyes are fixed here, on him'. I want to turn around right now and want to see if he is looking there too or not. But I controlled my urge.
Finally!! All the ritual stuff is done and we can move inside.
Bhaiya moved inside and then all the elders, then alia, me, Ryan, Arun and all others.
While passing I tried to overhear the conversation of those girls who are still standing here.
" his name is Arun" one of those girl is whispering to the other. I wonder how I managed to hear that but like really?? Don't they have to do anything else rather than gawking him.
I ignored them and then quickly moved forward. Within no seconds Arun came beside me.
We all walked inside the hall and wow!!! It is beautiful. It is grand. It is flushed with violet, blue and red lights. Lots of big round table are laid at the centre and on the left is another hall with no separation. There's a wine cellar and food items in that section. A beautiful huge stage which is at least ten inches from the ground is right at the extreme front which is decorated with white and violet flowers and lights. A chandelier is at the centre of the ceiling with purple flowers on it. This view is spectacular, I really am mesmerized.
" beautiful?" Arun asked and then, I felt that he must be observing me
I nodded and looked at him.
" well!! Not more than you" he said and his voice is generous and loving.
Oh!!
I looked down. What is it about him and his moods.?
" Arun please...I am mad at you" I said ,as yes!! I am mad at him,not too much but I am.
" oh!! Well!! That can be seen" he said and tried to be innocent.
I looked at him and shaked my head and went away. It won't be easy for him today.
I ran towards the stage, passing the guests and tables and stood near the stairs . whole hall is echoing with loud music.
I don't want to climb the stairs which leads to the stage as I am wearing this very heavy lehenga.
"shreee" I heard alia's voice, I looked up at the stage and she is grinning. She waved me to.come up. I shaked my head , she gave me her stern look.
God!! This girl can be really tough sometimes.
I climbed the stairs careful not to fall. Once i am on the stage i looked down to see Arun.
Oh!! There he is..talking to some people, older than him. They all have a very professional look on their face.
God!! Why doesn't he talk to someone of his age?
Alia's giggle distracted me. She is standing beside Bhaiya with some more guys. I spotted that cousin too. I shaked my head as i know she has called me here on purpose. I walked near them,with a smile on my face.
" heyy shree..where were you, meet Rishy..rishy, she is shruti, our friend and family" she introduced me to him, with a face splitting smile on her face and with such a passion as if she has planned it all before.
" hi" he said sweetly and i gave him a awkward smile.
" so where's Bhabhi..rishy?" Alia asked him.
" upstairs in room 103 ,with guests" he grinned
We nodded and bhaiya grinned. And then he got busy talking to others on the stage, who are wishing him luck.
I looked down and saw dad.
" hey!! Excuse me...i am going to see dad" i smiled and then walked away. I turned and then walked towards the stairs.
Oh!! God..getting down is far more difficult in heels than climbing up. I placed my foot awkwardly on one step and then suddenly i saw Arun standing there at the last step. I looked at him, paralyzed at my place. He smiled and then climbed up and then stretched out his hand.
" come slowly, don't fall down" he said and took my hand and squeezed it. A quick shiver ran through my whole body and then slowly, holding his hand tightly, i came down with him.
" still mad?" He asked looking straight in my eyes, his brows slightly up, waiting for my answer.
Slowly i took away my hand from his grip " yes" i said in a monotonous way " i am going to meet dad, can i?" i looked at dad, and then looked at him.
" sure" he said and gave me way.
I ran towards dad, who is sitting on one of the round table in the centre and have a glass in his hand.
" dad" i smiled and sat beside him.
" shree." Dad's face split into two on seeing me.
I looked around at the stage, alia and rishy are coming down while bhaiya is surrounded by so many people.
" uncle" suddenly i heard a voice which always wins in giving me a heart attack. I looked straight and Arun is here.
" Arun! My son" dad stood up and hugged him, Arun touched dad's feet and then they both sat down. Arun beside dad on other side.
I looked at him and he is as usual all handsome , but today, there's something more dashing and more Indian about him. I am seriously flattered by his this look.
It is really hell difficult to be mad at him today. He is busy in talking to dad.
" how's work?" Dad asked. He is looking really pleased to see him.
" good" he said and smiled and then his eyes jerked at me. I immediately looked down and my heart rate gone faster.
"Shree..how were these days?"dad asked And smiled
I looked at Arun quickly and he is suppressing his smile.
Stupid!
" umm..good" i said uncoordinatedly.
" Rajesh" suddenly we heard uncle's voice calling dad. Dad stood up and smiled
" you both sit..let me meet my friend" he said and then walked away .
No! Dad.
My eyes turned towards Arun again. He stood up and sat beside me where dad was sitting earlier. My heart beat has started playing that same game again.
" for how much longer are you going to behave like this?" His voice sweet and playing.
" why do you even care? You can yell at me again, if you want to, because that's what you know Arun" I snapped.
He first blinked at me and then his jaw turned into a hard line. My body turned all-cold in response.
" I didn't mean to shruti..and you know that" his voice irritated.
" if I am irritating you..then you can go" I snapped at him. My voice cold.
He blinked at me in surprise.
" no one can talk to me like this!" He scolded me
I inhaled and looked away.
He is impossible. After shouting at me..what is he expecting??
Then Suddenly a waiter came and placed two drinks in front of us and went away. I kept sitting there ,looking away.
" you are not mad at this drink too.. right?" His voice sweet again.
I kept looking away and folded my arms around myself.
" aren't you wearing a little too less from back?"
What????
I jerked my face towards his face and frowned, He arched an eyebrow up.
" every other girl in this room is wearing like this " my voice straight and proud
" I don't care about any other girl" his voice honest and he is looking straight into my eyes.
My heart skipped a beat on his confession. I kept looking at him, at his so innocent face. Well yeah!! He doesn't look innocent when he shouts.
" you scare me when you shout" my voice low, but this is the truth and I want him to know this.
" do I?" his brow creased and looks confused right now.
Why?? This is so obvious that he frightens everyone when he shouts.
I nodded.
" I would never want to scare you shruti" he said convincingly. His eyes are searching my face to get something.
" I missed you today but, What did you do?? You shouted at me and why?? I don't even know that. So can i know that now?" my voice sounded like commanding one , if I want to talk then I can't remain quiet, I know that now.
He inhaled on listening my words and ran his one hand on his hair.
" it's not important" his voice got cold again. I clenched my teeth but Suddenly!! I heard alia's voice
" hey you both" i turned and she is coming towards us with ryan "what the hell are you both doing? I was looking for you everywhere" she reached to us and gasped.
" nothing!! I just wanted to sit" I said embarrassed.
Ryan smiled and sat down.
Thank god ! they have come. I couldn't afford to be with mr. Impossible anymore.
" guys let's go and dance, don't sit here and bore me" Ryan said excitedly. He stood up and scanned the whole hall which is filled up with all loud music and people.
" yes ...let's dance...and Ryan call everyone on the stage" she laughed and winked. I quickly tried to glance Arun, who at the same time looked at me. His face is devoid of any smile and I gave him the exact same blank expression. Suddenly He stood up,
" you guys go" his voice clipped and then he is gone.
" shree!! Come on now. Stop behaving like an old lady" she said sternly and giggled and then dragged me off my seat.
" fine..i am coming" I smiled and then stood up and then without looking back, we walked towards the dance floor which is flooded with all red, blue, purple and yellow lights. The dj is playing a total Bollywood item song. In the meantime, simar bhabhi's all the sisters and rishy joined us on the stage.
We all started dancing and then suddenly rishy took my hand and started dancing with me. He is a flirt of course but I didn't find him cheap. He is fun actually just like Ryan is. I danced with him without feeling awkward and laughed. Alia , Ryan and everyone joined us. Rishy took one of my hand and spinned me a little too forcefully which almost stumbled me on the floor but inspite of falling on the floor and fell in someone's arms.
The muscles are firm, I looked up and god it's Arun.
" you ok?" He smiled and asked but I can tell of his looks, he is faking that smile
" can I?" He looked at rishy and asked ,who is behind me, and raised his brows. I turned to look at rishy, he smiled and then moved out of the floor. I heard bhabhi's sister voices, "Arun is here"
Suddenly Arun pulled me by my hands which threw me on his chest. He signalled the dj to change the song .
Oh no!! Dad is here too. Is he crazy?
I looked at alia who is beside me with all other girls , she creased her brow with suspicion.
Oh no! I am gone now. I can't face her interrogation, not about Arun.

Chapter 16
How dare he talk to me like that? No!! I am not going to ruin my mood anymore. I am gonna go..and enjoy..just forget about him. I have missed him so much today...and what did he do?? Yelled at me. Does he know anything else?? And if he is angry...then he could have talked to me. This guy is unbelievable...he knows that we won't get any time their..still..he is just pissed. And what about that psychopath...where's she gone?? Well..honestly..i don't care.
Suddenly..alia's voice pulled me back to the reality.
" shree??? Come down. We will have to leave" alia cried out and she sounds excited.
" I am coming" I answered from the corridor.
I looked down..everyone's ready to go.
Just go. If he doesn't give a damn about you then you also should not think anything about him.
I ran down the stairs and reached the hall. Ryan, di, alia, bhaiya and aunty all are standing together. Bhaiya is wearing a dark brown coloured heavy ,groom style kurta and white pajama with a beautiful turban at head. Ryan is in ethnic too, he is wearing a light green kurta and white pajama. I walked towards them..and everyone smiled, uncle kept on talking.
"he is coming..i have talked to him..let's go..he will be there..it must be some work. Don't worry" uncle said and gave a smile to alia.
And then I realized they are talking about 'him'.
"let's go everyone" Ryan said and rubbed his hands . He looks excited.
We all smiled and then I realized I am excited too. I looked at bhaiyya and he is blushing.
"bhaiya!! Get ready" alia teased bhaiya and he flushed. I grinned.
" come on guys" one of their relative shouted from the door, we all walked towards the door and reached outside. Seven cars are parked one behind the other.
" I am gonna sit with you Bhaiya" alia said and pouted. I laughed.
" yeah sure. You, shree, Ryan can come with me" he smiled and looks a little nervous.
After that..we all four got settled in the car, Ryan is on the driver's seat. He started the car and we are headed to the venue. The venue is not far away, just at a distance of 30-40 minutes. We all look excited.
" let me call dad" I said hastily, remembering that he hasn't called me.
" don't worry..he will be there at the venue in 10 minutes..dad just called uncle " bhaiya said and smiled.
"oh" I smiled back and nodded.
After that, we all got busy in talking about today. We have planned to dance at the entrance of the venue. We passed the ice cream parlour, where Arun took me last night. He was all fun and happy yesterday. I remembered when he kissed me in the parlour. The thought made me smile. He is sweet when he is not pissed at something.
No!! Shree..you are mad at him. Don't get happy remembering him. Don't let his sweet side..take over your madness.
Suddenly..ryan broke the silence in the car.
" alia..i have heard about Bhabhi's cousin..what about them.huh?" Ryan looked excited . We all laughed at his eagerness.
"yes Ryan..all her sisters are beautiful and yes that cousin..on the engagement day..u remember shree? " she grinned and asked.
Cousin?? On engagement?? Finally..a boy clicked me..that one on stage who lifted Bhabhi.
"yeah!! Yeah" I finally said
" he is handsome..isn't he?" Her eyes glittered with excitement.
Bhaiya and Ryan, both shaked their head and made an annoyed face but then smiled.
" yes..that he is" I smiled
She clapped her hands silently.
"well!! Forget about 'him' concentrate on bhabhi's sisters" Ryan teased us.
"ok..fine..then you could go and talk to one of them today" alia's pitch went higher.
Ryan grinned and nodded.
After some time when we were getting closer to the venue, we can hear the sound of drums and various instruments.
" hurrah!!! We are almost there" alia jumped on her seats. Her activities made me laugh.
"god!! I don't know why but my heart is beating really fast" bhaiya said and then grinned, his one hand is on his chest. I grinned back.
" haha..really?" Alia looks surprised but excited.
Ryan laughed.
In no time we are at the entrance of the venue. It is one storied white building with lots and lots of purple and white lights everywhere on the road, trees, buildings. The entrance door is decorated with red and white flowers, balloons. I can see lots of guests standing at the entrance, they must be bhabhi's relatives. Outside the entrance..just in front of us, I saw uncle, aunty and dad. Wow.. Dad has come finally. I grinned on seeing dad. Suddenly..alia grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the car.
When did she got out?
" shreee..." She squealed "oh my god!! I am too excited...it's time..let's dance...ryan let's go." she commanded everyone and is jumping with excitement. Suddenly bhaiya got panicked but is laughing
" what about me?" He asked innocently
Right then, uncle, aunty all other relatives pulled bhaiya outside. A Driver took away the car and finally we all are at the front of the entrance. There is a lot of sound because of the drums. Alia dragged me and di and we all started dancing. A little later Ryan joined us too. Most of the elders took bhaiya for a ritual to the entrance where may be bhabhi's mother is doing some stuff. We all danced crazily. Suddenly alia cried while dancing,
"you saw that cousin over there" she pointed towards a guy in awesome black worked indo western standing at the entrance and watching us. He is looking good.
"yes" I cried and laughed.
" I think we are going to have fun" and then alia winked at me.
I laughed.
For some more minutes we kept on dancing and dancing, with each other and with their relatives, children everyone.
" let's get in children" suddenly dad came to us, he is smiling.
" dad!!!!!" I mewled and hugged him
" I am here now" he said and his words comforted me. I smiled .
" yes!! I am hungry..let's get in" Ryan gasped.
We all walked towards bhaiya where his would be mother and father in law are greeting him. I saw a bunch of girls, who are bhabhi's cousins coming towards bhaiya, with a 'pooja ki thali' in their hands. I nudged Ryan and he laughed. I spotted bhabhi's cousin too ,who is, I don't know may be looking at me.
" shree!!!" Alia cried and pushed Ryan aside and stood beside me
" handsome is staring you" she grinned
What??? No.
" no!! Look harder. He is staring at you" i said making an annoyed face
" we will see that" alia giggled
" oh please..you both irritating girls..just concentrate on those hot shots" Ryan came in between and pointed towards the girls. I looked at those girls who are looking in our direction, but not at us, not even at bhaiya. I turned to see in their direction that who these girls are staring. I turned and...my heart skipped a beat, my breathing stopped, my body paralyzed.
Coming from the crowd is a guy, who everyone is appreciating and shaking hands and the guy is in ethnic. He is wearing a silver coloured heavy kurta and white pajama.
And Oh my god!! The guy is Arun..really it's him. I stood their wide eyes. He is ...looking extremely...out of this world handsome. His dark brown hair are all perfectly styled and he is walking towards us. My heart beat gone faster and i couldn't move.
" bhaiii!!!!" Suddenly alia jumped and hugged him. He smiled. He looked at me but i quickly looked away. I remember that i asked him ,on mehendi , that why he doesn't wear anything ethnic. I couldn't believe it that he is wearing this because I asked him, but right now I am mad at him. So, Immediately i turned around to face the entrance again. My heart continued to beat faster and faster. Bhaiya's father in law is still doing some pooja. Alia stood beside bhaiya and i beside her. I looked at those girls who are still staring Arun.
And Suddenly I felt his presence near me, when I turned to see, he is standing here, behind me and alia. Our eyes met and he smiled. I turned away quickly.
Suddenly I felt a finger on the lower side of my back and I know it's him. His finger is cold. His touch gave me a quick shiver throughout my body. I removed his finger quickly by my hand and moved a little forward so that he can no more touch me . I looked at those girls again, who are now saying something to each other while their eyes are fixed here, on him'. I want to turn around right now and want to see if he is looking there too or not. But I controlled my urge.
Finally!! All the ritual stuff is done and we can move inside.
Bhaiya moved inside and then all the elders, then alia, me, Ryan, Arun and all others.
While passing I tried to overhear the conversation of those girls who are still standing here.
" his name is Arun" one of those girl is whispering to the other. I wonder how I managed to hear that but like really?? Don't they have to do anything else rather than gawking him.
I ignored them and then quickly moved forward. Within no seconds Arun came beside me.
We all walked inside the hall and wow!!! It is beautiful. It is grand. It is flushed with violet, blue and red lights. Lots of big round table are laid at the centre and on the left is another hall with no separation. There's a wine cellar and food items in that section. A beautiful huge stage which is at least ten inches from the ground is right at the extreme front which is decorated with white and violet flowers and lights. A chandelier is at the centre of the ceiling with purple flowers on it. This view is spectacular, I really am mesmerized.
" beautiful?" Arun asked and then, I felt that he must be observing me
I nodded and looked at him.
" well!! Not more than you" he said and his voice is generous and loving.
Oh!!
I looked down. What is it about him and his moods.?
" Arun please...I am mad at you" I said ,as yes!! I am mad at him,not too much but I am.
" oh!! Well!! That can be seen" he said and tried to be innocent.
I looked at him and shaked my head and went away. It won't be easy for him today.
I ran towards the stage, passing the guests and tables and stood near the stairs . whole hall is echoing with loud music.
I don't want to climb the stairs which leads to the stage as I am wearing this very heavy lehenga.
"shreee" I heard alia's voice, I looked up at the stage and she is grinning. She waved me to.come up. I shaked my head , she gave me her stern look.
God!! This girl can be really tough sometimes.
I climbed the stairs careful not to fall. Once i am on the stage i looked down to see Arun.
Oh!! There he is..talking to some people, older than him. They all have a very professional look on their face.
God!! Why doesn't he talk to someone of his age?
Alia's giggle distracted me. She is standing beside Bhaiya with some more guys. I spotted that cousin too. I shaked my head as i know she has called me here on purpose. I walked near them,with a smile on my face.
" heyy shree..where were you, meet Rishy..rishy, she is shruti, our friend and family" she introduced me to him, with a face splitting smile on her face and with such a passion as if she has planned it all before.
" hi" he said sweetly and i gave him a awkward smile.
" so where's Bhabhi..rishy?" Alia asked him.
" upstairs in room 103 ,with guests" he grinned
We nodded and bhaiya grinned. And then he got busy talking to others on the stage, who are wishing him luck.
I looked down and saw dad.
" hey!! Excuse me...i am going to see dad" i smiled and then walked away. I turned and then walked towards the stairs.
Oh!! God..getting down is far more difficult in heels than climbing up. I placed my foot awkwardly on one step and then suddenly i saw Arun standing there at the last step. I looked at him, paralyzed at my place. He smiled and then climbed up and then stretched out his hand.
" come slowly, don't fall down" he said and took my hand and squeezed it. A quick shiver ran through my whole body and then slowly, holding his hand tightly, i came down with him.
" still mad?" He asked looking straight in my eyes, his brows slightly up, waiting for my answer.
Slowly i took away my hand from his grip " yes" i said in a monotonous way " i am going to meet dad, can i?" i looked at dad, and then looked at him.
" sure" he said and gave me way.
I ran towards dad, who is sitting on one of the round table in the centre and have a glass in his hand.
" dad" i smiled and sat beside him.
" shree." Dad's face split into two on seeing me.
I looked around at the stage, alia and rishy are coming down while bhaiya is surrounded by so many people.
" uncle" suddenly i heard a voice which always wins in giving me a heart attack. I looked straight and Arun is here.
" Arun! My son" dad stood up and hugged him, Arun touched dad's feet and then they both sat down. Arun beside dad on other side.
I looked at him and he is as usual all handsome , but today, there's something more dashing and more Indian about him. I am seriously flattered by his this look.
It is really hell difficult to be mad at him today. He is busy in talking to dad.
" how's work?" Dad asked. He is looking really pleased to see him.
" good" he said and smiled and then his eyes jerked at me. I immediately looked down and my heart rate gone faster.
"Shree..how were these days?"dad asked And smiled
I looked at Arun quickly and he is suppressing his smile.
Stupid!
" umm..good" i said uncoordinatedly.
" Rajesh" suddenly we heard uncle's voice calling dad. Dad stood up and smiled
" you both sit..let me meet my friend" he said and then walked away .
No! Dad.
My eyes turned towards Arun again. He stood up and sat beside me where dad was sitting earlier. My heart beat has started playing that same game again.
" for how much longer are you going to behave like this?" His voice sweet and playing.
