Rey's P.O.V.

I walk into my room and slam my door in frustration. Stumbling over to the sofa, I lightly place myself on it. Images of Taani and Udayvir cloud by brain, and again I feel this unfamiliar feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Why is this bothering me so much? I don't care if Taani gets with that stupid-stupid Udayvir. I get back up forcefully and stumble to my dresser.

Drinking this much was definitely not a good idea. But why was I drinking again? Oh yeah, because of that stupid Udayvir and Taani. Another image of them holding hands comes into my mind. Absentmindedly I throw my hands across my dresser causing all the things to fall onto the ground and make a sound. Then, I walk over to the window, pick up the glass vase and throw it onto the ground too. It shatters leaving behind a billion glass pieces on the ground.

I walk back and forth confused with myself. I feel something prick my feet and when I look down I see pieces of broken glass and my blood coming out.

Still, this was nothing compared to the feeling I was having seeing Taani with that monkey. Ignoring the pain, I keep walking. I flop on my bed and close my eyes, hoping that I'll fall asleep somehow.

This only worsened my thoughts. I get up with a jolt and in the moment, I punch the wall beside me. I don't know what I'm doing, what is this feeling?

The door creaks open and I see Taani's eyes peeping from behind it. She looks around the room and back at me, confusion takes over her face. She slowly slips into my room, quietly closing the door behind her.

"Rey, what are you doing?" She asks worried.

Great. Now she comes in my imaginations as well. I move closer to her and grab her by her shoulder's jerking her closer.

"Why are you here? Leave me alone." I shout. Taani moves closer to my face and I feel my breath get caught up in my throat. She takes a few sniffs and then immediately pulls away.

"Rey, why are you drunk?" She puts her hands on shoulders. "Why are you acting this way?"

I turn around and make a mad face. I'm mad at her. For coming in my dreams, my imagination, for giving me these confusing feelings for everything.

I hear her giggle and then she walks towards the closet, and takes out the first-aid kit. Grabbing my hands, she drags me to the bed and makes me sit. She cleans the blood of my hands and feet.

She takes out a tube of medicine and as she's about to put it on, I squeeze my eyes shut, hoping I won't have to feel any pain. I wait a few seconds but I don't feel anything, I open my eyes to find an amused Taani staring at me.

We get pulled into a trance and for a moment or two we just stare into each other's eyes. Unknowingly, she presses on my hand causing me to wince in pain. We both awkwardly look away and she continues to bandage my wounds.

By the time she finishes, I'm more than exhausted. She helps me lay down in bed and covers me with a blanket.

"Goodnight Rey." She whispers. She turns around to leave and I don't know why, but I grab her hand and pull her back.

"Please don't leave me. Everyone leaves me." I say as I feel tears build up in my eyes.

Through my blurry vision, I see her smile. "Alright, you sleep and I'll sit on the sofa okay?"

I shake my head. "No, please sit right beside me. I don't want to lose you too." I feel butterflies in my stomach when I say those words but shake the feeling off. I see the hesitation in her eyes, but eventually she sits down beside me.

I shift my position a bit, so I'm closer to her. Grabbing her hands, I snuggle into her side and drift off to a peaceful slumber.

The next morning, I wake up with a huge paining headache. Flashes of last night pass through my mind. I bite my lower lip but for some strange reason, I don't regret it. I look to the side and see an advil and a glass of water already waiting for me.

I chug it down and after a few moments, the headache decreases. I get out of bed and take a shower. As I'm dressing, I realize that I should probably apologize to Taani, since it was totally unfair to make her stay with me.

I walk across the hall to her room. So caught up in my thoughts, I just walk straight into her room without knocking.

I close the door behind me but when I turn around, I freeze in my spot. I see Taani's eyes through the mirror which are staring right at me. Taani stands there in her towel, with wet hair and water trickling down her back.

On their own accord, my legs move towards her until I'm standing directly behind her. Taani is about to move to the side but I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her back into my chest. Taani looks back up at the mirror and our eyes meet for a second time.

I tighten my hold on her waist as I feel her breathing get heavier. Taani closes her eyes and I lean in and place a light kiss on her shoulder.

I look back up and see Taani squeeze her eyes shut tighter and clutch her towel with her left hand. Her innocence makes me smile and gives me a urge to kiss her again.

I kiss her shoulder, and leaving a trail of wet kisses, I make my way up to her neck.

Using my other hand, I turn her around to face me. Her eyes are still shut and her breathing is heavier than ever. Her actions intrigue me more.

I place a kiss on her forehead, then on both her cheeks. I turn her back around and crush her more into me than humanly possible.

I place a few more kisses on her shoulder, before I realize what I'm doing. Instantly, I let go of her waist and shuffle out of her room. As I close the door, I see her still standing in front of the mirror with her eyes closed.

I try my best to ignore Taani for the rest of the day. The whole day my head and heart are in this ongoing battle. My mind kept telling me to feel guilty but my heart was telling me what happened was right. I don't understand this feeling.

This same scenario has happened with so many girl before, so why is she different? As I think about the incident that took place a few hours ago, a smile creeps onto my face.

I'm broken out of my trance when Swayam puts his hand on my shoulder.

"So? Excited for your first indian wedding?" His words seem to stab me right in the stomach. Reality strikes at me and I realize we are at Udayvir and TAANI's wedding. I clench my jaw and nod.

"Of course." I reply, trying to sound happy.

"Swayam beta, can you go check on Udayvir." Swayam sighs beside me and shakes his head.

"What happen?" I ask puzzled by his reaction.

"Ugh, I hate that Udayvir kid. Rey, can you please go check on him. Please Please Please." He pleads to me with desperation in his voice.

"Fine" A smile makes its way onto Swayam's face and he hugs me. "Yo, please man. I'm not Sharon." I joke.

Swayam pulls away and makes a face. "Only if you were." He looks away with a dreamy expression.

I laugh and walk away not wanting to disturb him from his dreamland. I knock on the door a few times but when no one answer, I open the door a little and stick my head in.

"Don't worry dad, I've got everything under control. It'll all be ours in no time." I hear him quietly whisper into his phone. There's something not right here and I can feel it in my pit. I take out my phone and put it on recording.

Anger burns in me as he continues to talk to this mysterious man on the phone. I have to stop this engagement.

I turn around and start walking towards Taani's room. I reach the door and go to open it, when I'm pushed aside by a bunch of girls. The girls run into the room and lock the door.

Well, there goes that but I'm not going to give up. I walk to Shekhawat uncle. I tap him on his shoulder.

"Uncle-"

"Yeah Rey beta, just one minute." He walks away, leaving me behind. I stand there confused, not knowing what to do next, when I see Swayam walk by.

I run up to Swayam and pull him aside. "Please Rey man, I'm not like that sorry." He jokes.

Even though it's a harmless joke, I get mad. I don't have time for this. I need to stop that pig from destroying Taani's life.

"Shuttup Swayam." I say and he looks at me in confusion. After a moment of silence, he speaks again. "What's wrong Rey? Why are you so tensed?"

"Swayam, we're friends right?"

"Yeah, of course"

"So, if I show you something will you believe me?"

"Obviously"

I take my phone out of my pocket and show the recording to Swayam. Many emotions cross his face throughout the video but at the end, it's the same as mine. Anger.

"I knew that Uday was up to no good. My poor baby Taani, she'll be broken." He says

"This is not the time Swayam. How are we going to stop this marriage?" I say, urgency in my voice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
