PART 10:
--------
Hello…. Beautiful creations of god. Don't get bored with continuous updates. It's Cause of holidays. I promise, this is the last one for the week. I wanted to complete their date and manvi's past. But it was too long. So I will finish it in next part. Don't get angry Girlies. Here is next part. Try it once.

"You look different. Are you scared?" asked Virat as soon as I sat in his car. Indeed I looked different. I asked him to not to come home and I lied to my mother that I was going with Alisha. Not that I wanted to hide our relationship from my mother. It was because, if she finds out then she'd definitely ask him to marry me. She was that desperate for my marriage. And I was nervous cause I was going to reveal myself in front of him, about my past.
"Scared of what?" I re-questioned him. I wasn't a fool to show my weakness in front anyone.
"We are going alone together" he said and briefly looked at me.
"I have a pepper spray" I said rolling my eyes lazily. I never carry such sprays. But I wanted to show him that I wasn't scared of him. As soon as he heard me saying that, he broke into a large shout laughter.
"What's so funny to laugh?" I asked him irritated. May be he was making fun of me. Wasn't he?
"If you have a pepper spray, you should keep it as a secret. Don't roam around shouting that you have a pepper spray. Making ppl cautious. And I don't need your pepper spray. Save it for others" he replied as he tried hard to control his laugh. When he finished saying then he again started laughing.
"Pause your close-up ad for a while" I shouted softly. As a reply he suppressed his laugh and I shifted my gaze to the outside of the window. I re-checked my decision of telling him my past. I never did it before. No one knows about me. I was faintly distracted from the surroundings as I tried hard to justify my decision. But a sudden sound made me come back. Car had broken down and Virat got down from the car. It was unexpected. I sighed deeply and got down. I leaned on the car at the door and Virat adjusted himself beside me, a bit closely.
"Whenever we are together, some unexpected will definitely happen. I knew it. Another car is on the way" he said looking at my direction. Another car. He had two cars. Wasn't it surprising a bit.
"How many cars do you have?" I asked him with a surprise look.
He suddenly turned towards me placing his hands either side of my body, but maintaining a noticeable distance between us and looked straight into my eyes he said "If you want to know me, ask me directly".
I squirmed a little in between his hands as I tried to look calm but seemed like I was loosing.
"I…. I want water" I said in trembling voice.
"Good signs… Wait here. I will go look for it. I don't have water in my car" he replied in low voice and disappeared. I stood there, searching for something with my eyes to entertain myself. I found a pair of joint trees, looked like trees were hugging each other lovingly which made me smile. Nature romance is re-freshing. Isn't it? Disturbing my mood I heard a familiar voice and I turned my attention to the source of the voice abstractedly. It was Ishik again.
"Ishik" I said unwillingly.
"Manvi….. I know. Yesterday my behavior disappointed you. But I m not going to say sorry. I have a solid reason for that" ha said looking at me fervently.
"You are my dream Manvi. And I wanted to take a last chance to fulfil my dream. I tried and lost. But in future whenever your almighty Virat causes you pain, you will always have me in your side. Even though you said, you don't want my approval; I want to say that I finally believe that you are Virat Vadhera's past girl friend, present fiancee and future wife. Happy" he completed and smiled unhappily. But I was happy. At least the mission of introducing Virat as my fiance had finally accomplished.
"Ishik…. You…." I was about to say something but an unfamiliar girl's voice made me stop.
"You are Virat Vadhera's girlfriend!!" her voice echoed in that open place. I looked at her over his shoulders. She looked around my age; tall, lean, fit and pretty. She wore a knee length blue color one piece dress and her black curly tresses were flowing in the wind made her look angelic.
"You are Virat Vadhera's girlfriend" she asked again looking at me shockingly. I wanted to say "No" but Ishik fixed his eyes on me which made me nod my head in positive. It was like I was forced to do that, not intently.
"Who am I then?" she questioned me angrily. I looked at Ishik helplessly. But it wasn't his fault. I could have said something. But before I could voice it out, Virat stepped in hurriedly.
"Ria" he called her. His voice seemed uninterested.
"I will take a leave then, Manvi" said Ishik as soon as he saw Virat there. They exchanged a look of rivals and in a split second Ishik disappeared.
"Ria… What are you doing here?" he asked her handling me a bottle of water.
"I saw your car here. So thought of seeing you once. Forget about it. Virat… She is saying that she is your girlfriend and fiancee" she complained to Virat in an adorable tone. I felt sad. Whenever heroine realizes her love for hero, then there enters the second heroine and "The queen of sacrifices" heroine sacrifices her love. I imagined myself like that which didn't suit me at all.
"Did she really say like that?" Virat asked her squealing in excitement as his eyes turned over me happily.
"Ishik said that" I replied hesitatingly.
"How dare you call yourself Virat's girlfriend. You know who he is?" she shot me with utmost anger. Who was she and why did she care about Virat's girlfriend? These questions danced in my mind, but I shut my mouth for the time being, enjoying the next episode of drama.
"Ria…. Watch your tongue. She is my fiancee" he replied as he looked at her angrily.
"Then what about me? You know "I love you" from past 8 years. Why did you do this to me?" she asked him exactly like the way second heroine reacts in such situations.
"Ria…. We have a prior appointment. So, I will talk to you later" he said as he held my hand and dragged me towards the car. I didn't even notice the arrival of the another car as I was too absorbed in the scene.

"She is taller and prettier and as matter-of-fact better than me. Why don't you give her a chance?" I asked him curiously as soon as we adjusted in the new car.
"Ummm…. Opinion differs. For me you are the prettiest girl with full of Aura. Besides I want a wife for my life, not a model for my Ad and there is no "better, best" in love" he replied ever so calmly.
"But she loves you" I said as if it didn't matter to me. But a high pitch "jealousy song" played in my mind.
"It's not love. She just want to possess me. We are family friends. For her I m nothing more than a profitable deal" he replied without looking at me. He seemed confident with his words.
"How can you say that?" I inquired him.
"One can't resist true love. If her love is true, then I would have dragged to her unknowingly. But I never felt like that" he answered. I was impressed with his answer. From one point, he proved his true love, cause I was dragged to him unwillingly. I smiled gently thinking about his true love speech.
"You are too observant" I said looking out through the front glass.
"Appreciate me then" he said jovially.
"Appreciate you for what?" I asked paying least attention to his question. No matter how hard I tried, another girl in his life made me uncomfortable.
"Cause I have a good eye when it comes to women" he replied staring at me dreamily. He indirectly saying that I was a good girl.
"Keep your eyes on road" I said and turned my attention to the window. Something suddenly struck in my mind. What if she tells all this in front of Virat's family.
"Hey…. Take me to your home" I said and as soon as these words left my lips, he stopped the car abruptly.
"What?" he asked panickly. Was he scared to take me to his house? I couldn't figure out his expressions.
"What if she tells about us to your parents. If you take me to your house, I will tell that all this is a drama" I gave him a justification to my previous statement and I noticed his relaxing muscles.
"Drama!! What drama?" he asked me as if he didn't know about it.
"Fake fiance drama" I retorted with a bit irritation. He knew everything, then what's the use of his acting.
"It's not a drama for me. You are my real fiance. If you don't feel like that, then deal it with yourself. Don't worry. I can handle everything including you. Sooner or later my family will come to know about you" he stated.
"I m not worried for you" I said and shifted slightly in my seat. His words makes me feel happy. He really had a way with his words.
"I won't leave you. I will give a fresh climax to our romantic love story" he said as if he was the director of our movie.
"Romantic love story" I repeated after him.
"Isn't it romantic to fall in love with your own fiance" he answered. His voice was filled with full of excitement.
"But you are not my fiance" I shot at him.
"Is that so?" he asked me as he slowed the speed of the car.
"Yes. You are not my fiance and I don't love you" I emphasized each word to make it strong.
"Oww…. A strong denial is always an affirmation. Do you know that" he shot back. He had answer for everything. He was tough to argue.
"You….." I'd decided to argue back but he stopped me showing his hand and said "Save it for later. We are here".

Be happy.
