He was eager to read her second email, that he promised to send today. He wanted to know more about her as he never got a chance to talk to her properly or have a real conversation with her. Also, he was dying to know the person who " occupies her mind" since 3 months. In fact, he was hoping and he is having a strong feelings that " he" was that someone who occupies her mind, just as she was occupying his mind since the first time he saw her, since 3 months!

As he finished his meeting with Mr. Roi, He opened his PC, signed in and he found an unread email from her titled ( confessions ).. He quickly opened it and started reading it:

---

Dear my mysterious friend,

How are you? I hope that you are fine.

You haven't replied to my first email, but that's fine, even John smith /Jervis Pendleton wasn't replying to Judy Abhott mails, but he was reading them. ;D

Today Dr. Smitha , the instructor of Foundation of Biochemistry course had divided us into groups for the course's project. My luck was very bad :''(. My group members are: Neha, the most negligent girl I ever knew, her cheesy boyfriend Jay, and Sona, a highly bigoted person who never accept any ideas or opinions other than hers. Our first meeting was disastrous. We couldn't agree on the subject of the project ! Sona wanted the topic to be organic chemistry, while I wanted it to be unsaturated fats; forget about Neha and Jay, they were in their own world. That idiot Jay kept praising Naha and diminish from me and Sona. The meeting ends with a fight between me and Sana about the subject of the project, and a bigger fight between all of us, me and Sona against the idiots Naha and Jay. I don't know how I will work with them for 11 weeks!I cannot tell you how much I hate group projects.. ughhh! I already ranted about that to Sareeth ji, my best friend.

Now, let me tell you about the thing that I couldn't share with anyone , I want to tell you about that person who is occupying my mind since 3 months, as I told you in my yesterday's email. Don't be so exited, you may feel I'm silly or that I'm exaggerating, but I will tell it to you as I had promised you :P.

3 months ago, it was Payal jiji wedding and it was the first time when I met that man. He was staring at me in a very strange way; he had't taken his eyes off me for a moment. It was the first time in my life when a man staring at me like that, and I was confused! his expressions were very mysterious. For a moment I thought that he was a new admirer or he liked me :P. but I realized soon that he is not.

Anjali ji, Payal jij's sister in law, introduced me to that man, he was her brother and Payal jiji's Jethji, Arnav singh Raizada. I tried to talk to him and start a conversation, but he rudely ignored me and walked away from me! I was very angry that moment and now I'm angry as I remembered that embarrassing situation! Ughhh. /:

I met him the next day again, in Payal jij and Akash jiju's reception party. Again he was staring at me. All the times I had turned to him. I saw him staring at me tracking every movement :when I was chatting with others, when I was dancing, when I was eating, he was tracking me with his eyes!, It's very uncomfortable when some one stare at you like that :S. The sating session didn't stop there, every time I meet him after that,, he stare at me, me only, with that same unreadable expression.

Many times I tried to talk with him and ask him why he stare at me a lot, why I feel that he is angry at me for some reason, but he either ignore me, or if he talk, he piss me off with his arrogant and rude attitude. He is really rude and harsh. Simply he is a Rakshas. Not only with me, but also with the servants, his employees and sometime with his family's members! Once, I don't know why, but I decided to confront him. I asked him why he is so heartless and treating others harshly?

His answer was : pulling me outside the Raizada Mansion, forcing me to ride his SUV, and then he took me on a long drive toward an unspecific destination. I apologized, I pleaded him to leave me, asked him at least to let me call Amma and tell her that I'm fine, I did everything I could do but he hadn't released me. He kept ignoring my pleas and demands and he was only smirking, his smirk is irritating me to the core!. After about 2 hours of the torture of being with him, he finally stopped the car and told me that if I questioned his actions again or called him Rakshas or heartless, he will show me the real "Rakshas".

Since that day, every time when I see him, I call his Rakshas, heartless, inhuman, or the beast as a defying , and run away from him as fast as I can. He cannot do anything when we are not alone, and I always make sure to not be alone with him. all what he can do when people are around us is staring at me.

I want to confess something. though I'm trying to show that I don't care or that I'm not scared from him, but he really scared me !. The thought that I can be with him alone anytime is seriously terrifying me. I'm sure that he is waiting for a chance to take his revenge for all the countless time I called him Rakshas, for every time I commented about his rude behavior in front of others.

He may took me in a long drive again, lock me in a dark room, he may harass me. hai Devi Mayia I really don't know what will that Rakshas will do if he got a chance to take his revenge.. ! I'm serious :S !

Last week, I tried to tell Payal jiji about my fears, but she made fun of me, she told me that Arnav ji is a good human being and I'm very affected from movies and films :O .. then I decided to tell Sareetha ji but I backed off as she is having a crush on that Raksha :/ ( to tell you the truth , he is very handsome, hansome Rakshas lol), and for sure she too will make fun me and defend him.

I still have a lot to tell you about him, but I think I already blabbered a lot today ; ). Today after finishing my classes, I will go to Raizada Mansion to meet Payal jiji and tell her about you and the scholarship , she will happy to know that the fees problem has been solved ( thanks again).I'm sure that I will meet the Rakshas there, so tomorrow I will update you with the latest news. :P ..

P.S: Though I'm scared from him, but I won't lie , I'm having some fun in this hide and seek game with him.. I don't know how :D !

Regards,

Khushi

His jaw was dropped, and his eyes wide open. He was static for some moments, just thinking, and re-thinking about what he just has read!

He was right, he was the person that occupies her mind, but not in the way that he expected, or wished!

He leaned in his chair as he started remembering the first time he saw her!

It was Akash's wedding. All the people's eyes were on the bride when she walked down , except his eyes. His eyes and his sense has been stolen by the girl that was walking by the said of the bride. That beautiful girl who was dressed in a royal blue Lehenga, her long black hair was flowing down her shoulder, her sparkled hazel eyes and bright smile was adding to her beauty more & more. She was not the most beautiful girl he ever met, but she was the first girl that made him feel those strange feelings. He couldn't took his eyes off her; he was fascinated by her.

He was jumbled, and he heated being like that. When he saw his Di and that charming girl walking toward him, his heart pluses increased, he was very uncomfortable and he didn't know what should he say or what should he do. He simply walked away and left her, escaping before he would lose his sanity or do something he would regret in later.

In the reception party, he saw the reason of his restless, again. The way she talk, the way she walk, the way she dance, they way she laugh, the way she blush, all what she was doing is attractive.

Thereafter, he became waiting for and carving her presence, he became always longing to see her and satisfy his eyes, he always exploiting any chance to sat in a place where she is to hear her enjoyable talks. She had become and she is still the center of his attention, the source of the joy and fun of his life, recently.

He hadn't realized that he is staring too much that Khushi noticed him and feel uncomfortable by that. He never felt that she was scared even 1% from him! She was always looked like if she was only having fun from their confrontation. That day when he took her in that purposeless long drive, he spent a great time! 3 hours of Khushi, Khushi only!. Her non-stop talk, the funny deals that she offered, her expression, her crocodile tears, and her ridiculous threatens. After that indecent, her daily routine of calling him Rakshas, and then running away before he could react. She was acting so childishly and weirdly, not as any 20 years old girl would behave, but he like and enjoy her antics.

---

After reading this email, he was somehow disappointed, specially that he expected the she will confess something else, something he wanted to read !!

Was she really think that he is heartless and emotionless, was she think that he is really a Rakshas, she think that he don't have any good traits?! Really !!! He always thought that it was just a teasing him when she call him heartless and Rakshas!

Was she really scared from him !! He thought that she is not, at all !. He never even doubted that she scared from him, in fact, she never showed any clue of fears !!

He was little bit disappointed , yet happy after reading this e-mail, and after knowing her exact feelings and thought about him. He was happy because he came to know about how she think about and feel toward him. happy that she will mail him daily and talk about him. happy because these e-mails will help him to understand her better, will help him to know what is going on through her unpredictable peculiar mind!

he was wondering

" what should I do now?!.

Reply to her e-mail and explain to her that there is no need to be scared of me, not me I mean Arnav singh Raizada, or trying to make her understand why I'm, I mean him staring at her ?

No, she already said that Payal told her that I'm a good human being, but what she did ? stop talking to her about me! She may do the same with me if I tried to defend myself, ughh I mean him !

Confess and told her face to face that I'm her " Mysterious friend" and explain to her every thing she want to know ?

No, then she will stop talking about her thought and feelings towards me, she will feel gratitude . and I will not be able to know or predict what is going on through her mind.

Don't reply - just as that Pendelton that she mentioned- and let her open her heart to him and talk about me without limits and constrains?!

Yes, This is the best option, at least for now. First , because I never wrote letters expect business and technical letters and I don't know how, or what I should write. Second, I will let her say whatever she want for now, and he will exploit her confessions and talks about me to know how should I behave with her, what she like and what she hate about me. Third, I can also evaluate the progress and the change of her opinion and feelings toward me, from her emails, as she said that she will update me with the latest news."

He smirked, with satisfaction. He don't know whether if what he will is right and ethical or not, but he have to do that if he want to change her feelings toward him and her opinion about him. he really want that!. And he will start from today.

***

As Om Parkash opened the door and welcomed her, she saw him, The Rakshas, in front of her, sitting in the living room, and he was busy with his phone. She rolled her eyes and walked, as she prepared herself for the usual staring session.

-

He was sitting in the living room, checking his phone and e-mails.

He know that she was there, she had come, as he heard the sound of her payal . He resist his urge to take his eyes off his phone and stare at her luscious face, as he used to do every time when she was close !. He tried his best to focus his attention on his phone, and he succeed!

-

What was wrong today?! She wondered. He didn't start staring at her yet. She looked at him with furrowed brows, wanting to know what was the thing on his phone that made him change his habit! .. She unconsciously walked slower than usual, waiting for him to look at her for once!.

It feel wrong, very wrong, when he did not!

She passed him and still he hasn't looked at her, she faked a cough wanting to draw his attention, but still, he didn't look at her ! She walked up the stair, her eyes focused on him, and when she reached, she said out loud: " Rakshas!"

She waited for a reaction from him, at least one angry look, but there was none!. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

She gave up and walked toward Payal's room, wondering, What had happened to him, what is wrong with him today?!! She hit her forehead and asked herself: " What is wrong with me, not with him! I always wished that he stop staring at me, and when he did I'm feeling that something wrong, not just that! I was trying to draw his attention and make him stare at me!.. I'm really mad " She said before rolling her eyes and walking toward Payal's room.

-

After few minutes, after he had made sure that she left to Payal's room, he threw his phone away, a half smile played in his lips as he rolled his eyes. She was very weird, more than he ever expect!

Was she trying to draw his attention and force him to stare at her ?! What she want exactly, once she complain about his staring session, and once she want him to stare?!

" her e-mails, I will know what she want exactly through her e-mails "

He smiled and thanked his luck which made Khushi decide to open her heart and, complain and talk about him, to him ! ..
