Chapter 11(B)
She turned her face towards him and lifted her lashes. Their eyes met. She gave her hand in his hand nodding her head while he smiled slightly. They went to the middle of the floor while the lights were dimmed and a soft romantic sound from the movie Jackpot, "kabhi jo badal barse" was played.
Anant looking straight into her eyes grasps her right hand with his left while she keeps her left hand on his shoulder. He puts his right hand on her waist. He started leading the dance while Navya follows his footsteps. It is not that Navya was dancing for the first time but she was feeling quite nervous for two reasons. 1) Now she has fallen in love with the one she is dancing right now. 2) Anant's intense gaze on her is making her weak on her legs.
Kabhi jo baadal barse
Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke
Tu lage mujhe pahli baarish ki duaa
His eyes were fixed upon her as he twirls her round and pulls her closer. Navya's eyes widens as she feels his fingers pressing on her waist while he gave an innocent look to her.
Tere pahloo mein reh loon
Main khudko paagal keh loon
Tu gham de ya khushiyaan
Seh loon saathiya
"Thanks Navya" Says Anant distracting her mind from what he did few minutes before.
"Thanks for what?" Asks Navya.
"For this beautiful surprise" Grinned Anant while she smiled shyly.
Koi nahi.. tere siva mera yahaan
Manzilein.. hain meri to sab yahaan
"Don't you think you are blushing too much today?" Asked Anant with a naughty smile as he swayed her right hand and twirled her again, pulling her closer than before.
Mita de sabhi aaja faasle
Main chahoon mujhe mujhse baant le
Zara sa mujhme tu jhaank le
Main hoon kya?
"Now what made you think like that?" She asked back with her one eyebrow back trying to look confident while she was feeling butterflies in her stomach. They were dancing so close now that it was creating havoc to her senses.
Woo.. aeee.. aeee.. aaa.. sathiyaa..
Ae ae... aa...
He twirled her for the last time and held her in a bending position while their faces inches apart, their breaths fanning each other. Everyone had stopped dancing as they were admiring their amazing chemistry. Sound of claps filled the atmosphere making them come back to reality. Anant made her stand while they were equally blushing right now.
"Wow now that was completely phenomenal! I mean guys have you ever seen our sir dancing so splendid?" Asks Aarav while he got hooting of No in answer.
Navya excuses herself from there while Anant announces everyone now to have dinner. While half the colleagues were all praises about Navya as they were happy about their sir thinking that he has finally got the right person for him in his life while some bad mouths were also there pinpointing about Navya's character.
"I have heard that she is living in this house with our sir" Says one girl colleague to the rest of her group.
"Really? You mean they are in a live-in relationship? Sir looked so decent and now look, his real face is coming infront of everyone" Commented another girl.
"Didn't you see their sensuous dance? It was saying everything yaar." Says another one and they laughed evilly.
Anant was standing behind the pillar giving instructions to some servants while he heard those gossips. He turned back in anger to give a good earful to them and fire them from their jobs but what made him stop is the thought regarding the reason. He can't tell the real reason about Navya's staying with him in the same house nor can he let people make cheap gossips about them and disgrace her character. She is nowhere at fault as it was he who is keeping her in his house for her safety. He had never thought that such day can come when people from his own office will start making gossips about them. He needed to stop these filthy talks now and without giving a thought, he went to the center.
"I have an important announcement to make". Said Anant gathering everyone's attention.
"Navya can you please come here?" Asked Anant while Navya looked at him confused and went to him.
"I never think to give any damn explanation regarding myself as it's my life and I don't care what people talk about me at my back but when these talks start about Navya, I need to give a word not because I care to explain those who gossip unnecessarily" He glared directly towards those gossip girls while saying the last line. "But to show Navya's importance in my life. So guys meet Navya Mishra, my fiance."
Everyone looked at him shocked including Navya who has never expected such kind of confession. After a moment of silence. Aarav said aloud "Guys, our sir is getting married, congratulate him." Everyone starting coming, congratulating them. Anant was giving a hesitant smile to everyone while shaking hands but Navya was feeling very angry right now.
***
"How can he take such a big decision on his own? It's true that she loves him but he never reciprocated his feelings towards her. She has wished for a proper confession from his side and what if he does not loves her back and thought that people will start making talks about them seeing them together so just to maintain his image he declared her as his fiance. Is she price money to be taken like this? Is she has no right to take decisions about her life. He was the one who kidnapped her for her safety and now he is the only one taking life decisions about her. Can't he have a proper word with her before taking such a haste decision?"
These were all the thoughts running inside Navya's mind who was now sitting on the stairs near the poolside of the house. She left the party making an excuse of headache while everyone left after wishing and congratulating him.
"So you are sitting here" Says Anant as he sat beside her while Navya didn't bother to look back. "I was searching for you everywhere. Why you left from there like that?"
"Is your head still paining?" Anant keeps a hand on her forehead just then Navya removes it harshly and stood up infront of him.
"Stop acting so good okay!" Yelled Navya.
"Whats wrong Navya?" Asked Anant a bit startled.
"Don't you know what is wrong Mr. Anant? You just announced few minutes before that am your fiance which means we r getting married so how on the earth is that possible when you firstly never confe.." She was going to blurt out the whole thing.
"Navya, there were some colleagues gossiping about you and..."
"And" Navya cuts him in between "You thought about your image like what will people think about you so why not make their mouth shut by declaring a decision which is taken all by yourself."
"You are getting me wrong Navya, I mentioned that I never care about my reputation it's only you..."
"Oh so now the blame comes upon me, you just said those things to show how great you are and nothing else"
"You have a habit of taking everything in a wrong way. Why don't you just listen to the whole thing dammit?"
"Because I don't want to listen to a full crap, you know the meaning of marriage, it's a sacred bond which binds two people who are in love with each other." Said Navya as tears came in her eyes.
"Navya, I never want people to pinpoint you in a wrong way that is why I took this decision because you are my responsibility and..."
"Responsibilty..Responsibility and only a responsibility. I am nothing beyond that right?"
Anant was silent for a moment. He felt a deep sense of guilty as he again took a decision against her wish. Is she his only a responsibility or more than that. Is he not trying to suppress his all feelings for her behind that word Responsibility'?"
"Am not going to marry you. Did u get that?" Declared Navya as she tried to walk away from there just then Anant held her hand and pinned her on the stairs.
He was looking at her angrily while she gulped in fear. Rain started pouring heavily.
