CHAPTER-40.
Prithvi dragged in a shattered breath,trying hard to stabilize himself..
"But Meera,how can I..-"
"Please don't leave me alone here!"Meera pleaded again,hugging him tighter..Her hug had already started burning his body,and Prithvi tried hard to resist the temptation,of giving in to her unusual plea.
"But Meera,you'll be safe with the police.."
"No!"Meera sobbed out into his chest."I don't trust them!Please don't leave me with them!"She kept sobbing into his chest..
God!!!What a dilemma you have put me into?!!Thought Prithvi closing his eyes in frustration,as she hugged him tight,afraid to even touch her,as his body heated up at her tight hug..He was scared to think of the consequence,if he did make the mistake of touching her now..He still remembered,what her last voluntary hug to him,had almost lead to,outside the temple..
"Meera,listen.."He said,and somehow managed to free himself from her hug,which was creating havoc with his system,and made her sit straight."How can I take you with me?!What will your parents say?!!It's better and safer that I let the police-.."
"The police is with them!"Meera exclaimed out.
"The police,WHAT?!!"Asked a stunned Prithvi.
"I saw them bribing a police,before they killed the man.."Said Meera with wide eyes..
"Oh no!"Prithvi cursed out,and instantly Prithvi's cell phone started ringing again.
Prithvi knew he had to make a decision fast and quick'And abruptly he decided,without further ado,knowing he did not have much options,due to scarcity of time.
"Okay!Let's go to Delhi!"Prithvi said firming his lips in determination,and quickly raised the passenger seat,so that Meera could now sit on it,and tied the seatbelt for her,trying his best not to touch her.
As Prithvi was busy in fixing the seat,he did not see the twinkle of mischief in Meera's eye,that was there only for a few seconds.
Prithvi was driving towards Delhi,while Meera talked on phone to her mother,her Bitto.Meera was convincing her mother with a lie,that she was at a friend's place,an unknown friend,whom her mother had never met or heard of,and it will be late at night till she returns.Prithvi could not help but smile at her lying so convincingly,to her mother..
"You seem to be good at this.."Prithvi said to Meera,with a smile in his voice,when she had finally,kept the phone.
"Good at what?!"Asked Meera in a puzzled voice,and on turning to see her face,Prithvi saw her biting her soft bottom lip again,and so instantly looked away..
What's wrong with the damn air conditioner?!Thought Prithvi with irritation,as he felt the air inside the car heating up,along with his treacherous body..So he unsuccessfully tried to raise the already on full swing airconditioner.
"Good at what?"Asked the impatient girl again.
"You lied to her convincingly.."Prithvi managed to reply..
"I hated doing it.."Whispered Meera,her voice suddenly breaking as she looked away from him,and out through the window.."I hated fooling my Bitto,and my Papa..I hated lying to them.You understand don't you?!"Asked Meera,suddenly turning back to face Prithvi,as at the same time Prithvi moved his eyes,away from the road,to look at her,and was shocked at seeing her eyes glinting with unshed tears.
"You understand,don't you Prithvi..?!!"Meera asked again in a choked voice,and something new and precious seemed to unfold within Prithvi's heart,as he stared at her glinting eyes..And her pain semed to transfer itself to him..And he understood..
Prithvi Khanna,the renowned business tycoon,famous for his coldness,and ruthlessness,understood what having to lie to one's parents felt like..He could feel Meera's pain searing through his own body..He could feel her suffering,as if it was his own..
"I understand Meera.."Prithvi murmured,and gently touched her hand lying on the seat,by the gear,and when she was about to clasp his hand back,he immediately moved his hand away..
"Ummm..Be careful with your hands Meera..Your palms are scraped.."Prithvi murmured as excuse,least she gets hurt again,by his action..
Meera nodded in understanding,and looked out the window again,as Prithvi stealthily kept peeking at her beautiful profile,in between his driving..
"Get rid of his miserly body!"Screamed the man,with a still smoking gun,in his hand..
"Prithvi Khanna once again!!!"The man screamed out in rage.."And this son of a b***h,thougt he will bring me bad tidings,and he will live?!!!"The man shouted into the dark room again!
Four goons were standing on guard quietly around the room,while two were busy,removing the dead body of the unfortunate man who had brought the news,of the girl escaping..
"You have touched banned waters,Pirthvi Khanna..Now you are done for!"The man muttered,as he sat back on his rocking chair,and reloading his gun,fired at a mannequin,that stood a few feet,away from him..
BANG!The man hit the mannequin's forehead at the first shot,and started laughing loud,insanely..
"I am coming for you Prithvi Khanna!!!Get ready to die!!!"The man said,and again went on laughing insanely..His laughter echoing against the walls of the quiet darkened room..
Prithvi had stolen another glance at her beautiful profile,and was smiling to himself,amazed at her out of character quietness..When Meera suddenly shocked the life out of him.
"STOP THE CAR!!!!!"Meera suddenly screamed out,and a startled Prithvi instantly pressed on the breaks and brought the car to a screeching stop...
