Hello Girlies….. Before you get angry for late, listen to my explanation. I finished it yesterday. By the time I post it, I found myself stuck in a "Never ending family gathering". So couldn't make it. Don't ne angry Shineys.
Thank you sooo much for your encouraging comments and likes. You really made me happy. Thank you all…. Have a tight sleep.

Virat…. I took his name several times to find out the specialty that it holds. At last I came to a conclusion that there was nothing special about it except that I'd a special feeling in me for his name. Love…. I didn't know much about it. So I don't say that I was in love with him. But I'd a different feeling for him. He was the first guy from whom I experienced Tenderness. Every guy in my life made me uncomfortable but , he made me cautious. Whenever I think of him, an invisible smile creeps in my heart. I still didn't believe his "Love at first sight" theory. Cause I never felt like that. Things started to change when he dropped my mom home unknowingly. His helping nature, Stubbornness, and sincerity moved my heart. I was eventually touched by his personality. The more I get to know him he gets more attractive, seemed like he had a charm that flutters my heart. Even though he lacks ideal human qualities, he'd a different charm that fills the gap and makes him ideal. I was absolutely fascinated by him. I never realized the negative shade in me until he came into my life. He made me jealous, greedy, selfish and finally he made me a girl. A new feeling filled with excitement aroused in me. I stood in front of the mirror, smiling. I wasn't a tragedy queen. I smile a lot. But something was different in my smile now. My gaze held full of sparks like a complete smile of bliss. I was happy, much more than happy.
"Mom….. I m leaving" I said and left the house. I volunteered to shop groceries. I hate it. But I wanted to give her some rest. She was still weak. I took extremely slow steps to reach my car and was about to open the door then I saw Virat coming out of his car.
--------
"I told you to not to follow me" I shouted softly pretending to be annoyed. To tell you the truth, my heart was swaying with his presence. The reason was I didn't want him to know that I like him. Once you reveal the secret of your heart then you can no longer control the consequences. So for the time being I wanted to hide it from everyone.
"I didn't follow you. I took a different road" he replied shrugging his shoulders. What an instant smartness!!
"Where are you going?" he asked me.
"I've some work" I replied and opened my car door.
"Excellent excuse to escape" he said. Disappointment was flowing from his voice which made me smile lightly.
"Wanna come" I said and looked at him. I didn't know what made me say like that. His disappointed voice or my insistent heart that wants to be with him. As soon as he heard it, his expression changed. He looked happy.
"In my car please" he said convincingly that I couldn't refuse. He opened his car door for me and we both adjusted in his car.
"Don't you want to know where are we going?" I inquired.
"No need. As long as I m going with you" he answered as he started driving and I fixed my eyes on the road. A few minutes passed in silence.
"What made you speechless?" he questioned me, indirectly asking me to say something.
"I m gonna die soon. Is that enough to entertain you?" I re-questioned him. Honestly I didn't know what to say. If I act according to my feelings, it would not take even a minute for him to notice it. He'd definitely make me confess sooner or later. He was extra smart. So I'd decided to treat him the way I used to do before.
"Any last wish?" he asked sarcastically as he turned his gaze towards me.
"Hai na… I will ask my mom to bury you with me alive" I replied with same sarcasm.
"Ahhh…. Your unconditional love for me" he said and I smiled. Trust him to make you smile without a reason.
"I heard about your promotion. Congrats. Am I getting a treat?" he asked me as he briefly looked at me once and then turned his attention to the road.
"You threatened me for your dabba caption. Now you want a treat. What did you do for my promotion. I was the one who worked enormously hard to fulfill my wish" I stated proudly and again I fixed my gaze on the moving objects on the road.
"If you worked hard to fulfill it, then it is your goal. Not your wish" he said as if he was stating the difference between wish and goal. Both are same. Aren't they?
"Huh?" I made a sound indirectly asking him to explain.
"You can reach your goals by working hard. But wishes are something, you can't do anything to fulfill it. Only God can do that for you" he quoted. Does that make sense? His explanation was far more confused than the normal supernatural power theory.
"Are you practicing Biddhism?" I asked straightly. After a few seconds when I didn't get any reply then I looked up my sideways to see his reaction. He was smiling as expected.
"Don't you have any wishes?" I asked him hesitantly.
"I had one. Now it's got fulfilled" he said.
"What was that?" I inquired him with utmost curiosity. After his supernatural power explanation everyone could get this curious. I wasn't an exception.
"Hmmm…. I wanted to find someone whom I love more than myself" he stated. Was it directed to me?
"Don't tell that you love me more than you love yourself" I said in an alert and confident voice.
"Should I risk my life to prove that?" he leaned close to me and whispered in my ear. His voice was solemn which invariably caused disturbance in my heart and I went into a dreamy deafness. I didn't want to believe it but one glance at him convinced me. I stared at him for some time. I didn't know about the others. But for me he was a distinguished handsome and mysteriously desirable. He had a magnetic charm such as I've never found in any other person and which is not likely I shall ever find again. When I came to the present, I realized that I was staring at him for a long time. I quickly turned my attention to the other side. I wanted to get rid of the awkwardness that I'd created myself. So I used F.M as a tool to do that. Luckily an old song "Yeh ladka hai allah from hum kisise kum nahi" one of my favorites was playing. I thought of a plan to have some fun and when "Dekho jaldi mein kabhi dil ko naa laga na" line was playing, I increased the volume and looked at him. He finally realized what I was trying to do and looked at me smiling brightly. I narrowed my eyes In affirmation.
"Wait" he said but I didn't understand his "wait" meaning. When a male voice of the song came into the light then I realized his "wait" and quickly turned off the radio. Cause the lines would be in his favor. I mentally scolded myself for my unlimited dumbness.
"Dekho nadaani se mujhe na tukhrana. Nahi tho gati hi rahogi yeh tarana" he sang lightly looking at my direction. I smiled more brightly to cover my foolishness and the rest of the journey was filled with some more argument and we'd finally reached the mall. Of course….. In between I told him about the shopping.
---------
"What are you doing?" I asked him frustrated. As soon as we entered the mall he filled the trolley with every visible thing, without even seeing if it was necessary or not. And if I wasn't wrong he was going to bring a second trolley now. His shopping skills are horrible.
"Helping you" he answered innocently.
"I can not be more happy" I said sarcastically.
"What?" he asked me blankly.
"What are these things? We are not Bakasura's sister's to eat all these. What do we do with the baby products kit. And Pasta…. We don't eat pasta. I realized my mistake now. I shouldn't have brought you here" I said in a breath with utmost irritation.
"But I love pasta" he said in a sweet and childlike voice.
"So".
"So cook for me" he said ever so casually.
"Daydreaming" I smiled sarcastically.
"No probs. I will ask my mother-in-law to cook for me" he replied as if he was staying in my house with us.
"What else do you eat to get this annoying?" I questioned him.
"Don't worry. I will give you the same food after our marriage" he said with a smirk. Now I got used to his annoyance.
"Do whatever you want. I m going to the Electronics section" I said and left. I didn't make an excuse. I wanted to get headphones. I forgot to tell you. I am a super big music lover. I listen to the music whenever I m sad, happy, bored, annoyed….. All and all I'd prefer music in every situation 24/7. I was checking the headphones section, then some news which was playing in my background grabbed my attention. I looked at the direction unable to believe what I heard before. When I saw the news in a row of LCD's, I went cold and sweat broke out all over my face . And my beautiful dream had turned into a dreadful nightmare.
"Manvi… Look at this" his voice made me turn my attention towards him. I slowly turned my head to his direction and looked at him palely.
"What happened?" he asked me worriedly. News was still running and he finally noticed it. The news was about Virat. He quickly shifted his gaze on me. His expression when he saw me had a sort of terror mixed with surprise. There was nothing casual in his look. His look confirmed everything. The shock that followed this declaration made me freeze. Some people were looking at us. Cause the pic they were showing in the news was of Virat's. But I didn't give much attention to anything. I just took my purse and pushed him aside and left. I heard him calling me but I increased my speed to avoid him. I scarcely know what made me upset and why I left the place. Then I dashed to the exit and quickly took a cab.
Broken pieces of the puzzle began to assemble in my head and when I started to join them together then finally the mystery got revealed. Mystery that he had created. I finally understood his "No need to pay the bill" and his appearance at VIVAD Industries and VFH fashion house. How silly of me to think that he was different from others. He was the sole successor of Vadhera's. One of the enormously wealthy and prestigious family of the India. And that hotel and everything belongs to him. The news was about how he succeeded to raise the shares in one night. I knew his surname before. But I never gave it a much thought or in other words I didn't expect him to be like that. He was rich. This one reason was enough to break my heart. Whatever may be the situation I never believe in rich people. They are always fake. At least I think like that. He never told me. But then again was it his mistake? I never tried to know him. But why won't he come out and tell me frankly about it. I was in a mess and couldn't think straight. I was thinking deeply but a sudden halt of the cab made me come back. I looked at the driver who was looking straight. I followed his gaze, there I saw Virat's car blocking the road. What was he doing? Luckily the road wasn't busy at that time.
"Manvi…. Come outside" I heard him. He opened the car door and grabbed my hand violently.
"You'd better leave me alone" I said and tried to free my hand but couldn't. He paid the driver without even looking at the meter and told him to leave. I was still struggling to free myself when I heard driver saying "Madam please". He probably got scared of Virat. He looked extremely scary though. I didn't want to create a scene, so I got down from the car and started walking as if he wasn't there.
"Manvi…. Let's talk" he said.
"What's there to talk?" I said angrily and again started walking with increased speed. It was afternoon, sun bloomed and the road was deserted. Effect of Sunday. I felt his hand on me. I wasn't surprised when he turned me around angrily and said "What's your problem?".
"You lied to me" I clarified.
"I never lied to you. I just hid the truth" he tried to sound cool but his voice was loud and scary.
"Well…. There isn't any difference" I retorted.
"There is. Okay… I m rich. But why does it bother you. As far as I know you don't like me. Then if I m rich or not how will it change anything in your life. It will make a difference if you are already in love with me. And if you are already in love with me then it's not an excuse to reject me" he went on. He literally confused me.
"Don't try to confuse me" I said. I'd feelings for him so it'd definitely change my life.
"You are a confused soul from birth. I m just trying to clear it" he said angrily. He lost his temper trying to explain there was nothing wrong in it.
"I started to trust you. But again you proved that men are not trustworthy" I said blankly. It was like I confessed my feelings indirectly.
"I don't want you to trust me. A human cannot trust another human unconditionally. I just want you to be understanding. Believe in my love" he said. Never heard anything so selfish in my life. He didn't want me to trust him. He held my upper arms tightly. Tightly that I couldn't bear the pain. He was angry, worried and lost his senses completely. He couldn't even notice my pain.
"I don't want anyone's love" I shouted at him as I tried to free myself.
"I m not "anyone" Manvi" he retorted as he tried to convince me. But I was more annoyed than interested to listen to him any more. I looked at his face. There wasn't a faintest touch of regret in his face. He looked awfully confident of his words. With a touch of pressure I was at the point of tears. But I didn't want to show him that. So I looked down to the ground and said "I regret meeting you".
"What?" he asked me. He sounded undeniably sad. I repeated again the same words.
"I regret meeting you. If God permits, I wanted to go back to the time even before I met you. So that I can avoid you" I finished and slowly looked at his face. He was sad and hurt. I knew that I was too harsh with my words. But I was no less hurt than him. He slowly released me from his grip and distanced himself a bit. I walked past him, leaving him behind and he didn't stop me this time. All the warm and lovely world that I had been a part of few minutes before had dropped away from me. And I partially blamed myself to not being lucky enough to receive love.

Be Happy.
