This is not me; I can't believe that I am still here! I could get a bail in seconds from Dad's assistant but I don't understand why I haven't made a call yet. Maybe, I have a tiny bit of regret which is in far corner of my heart about her. She played games with my mind; I showed her what I can do so I did!

I had enough fun today, staying in that cell for hours because of my guilt. I never ruined a girl's life before and I f**ked her life infront of everyone so I stayed in that rusty cell as my punishment. I was shell-shocked when I saw her here and then confounded when she affirmed about marriage. I laughed my ass off for that, she seriously didn't say that! I snorted when she walked out of station.

After that Officer, Narayana marched towards me the second she left. He knew who I was.

"Sir, can I call your father?" he asked softly.

"Shut up." I shout. All my amusement was gone, Dad doesn't know that I was here and I had no intention to mention all this non-sense to him. I gripped the bars hard enough to bend those iron bars.

"You are not making a call to anybody, you understand?!" I snapped at him. He jerked back at bit and shook his head in annoyance. He thought I was annoying?! I was about to snap at him again but stopped when I saw his adjure look.

"Sir, please listen. She wants money which is okay but she is demanding for marriage too. Your father is a great Lawyer, he won't tolerate this sir."

I already knew that shit, he didn't have to remind me that! I could pay her whatever she wanted but why marriage? I wondered whether she was a Gold digger. I dismissed him with wave of my fingers to give me time to think and he left my side.

Why marriage, Aastha? Why? If she had asked this same question months ago; maybe I would have thought about it because she had that much influence on me at that time but not anymore, woman. What should I do now? I closed my eyes to think about her for few minutes. I don't have any sort of feelings for her, not before and not now too but I have lust towards her. Her black velvety eyes, high cheek bones, her plump lips and her boobs.. darn, woman! Corner of my lips stretched a bit when I got an idea. She is damn hot woman, why not playing with her for a while? Playing is always my thing and let's play this game some more. I smirked at the Officer and nodded in gesture that I was okay with her conditions.

~*~

I stand up, knocking back the chair in process. Who the f**k does she think she is to warn me?! This is Nayan Anand! Nobody ever f**king mess with me!

She wants me for her whole life? What is she thinking? And she is threatening me? How dare her! My dad won't be happy if this matter goes to media and I don't want to bother him. Mom will not be happy if she knows about this. I thought I would keep her as a secret for a year and leave her but she wants to stay with me forever?

There is no forever, babe, she is insane. I cross my arms across my chest and cock my head, looking at her tiny frame and smile.

"What are you talking, Ms.Aastha? You went crazy after what happened to you? You are playing with fire, babe. I'm the one here to make a choice not you and I'm giving you one year. One." I point my finger at her showing one finger.

I smirk at her shocking face, I want to pinch those soft cheeks and smack my lips to her.

Shit! Where is that come from?

"You bastard!" a boy, a tail of her yells at me and try to launch forward but a Constable beside him stops by dragging him back. I wink at him and sit, leaving her to think. I yawn and rub my eyes; I want to sleep in my bed so badly.

After what feels like hours, someone bolts inside the station. I frown, twisting around and my eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"What the f**k are you doing here, man?!" I grin at my friend, Arun.

He is panting and looks around. He clenches his jaw when he sees me but I grin widely at him. He is striding towards me and hits my head suddenly.

"Ouch!" I rub my head while standing up.

"I want to ask you the same, rascal!" he shouts at me and turns to the officer, "You. Do you know who he is?" he snaps at Officer. Poor guy, looks nervous and stands.

"Woah, buddy, cool." I say touching his shoulder to calm him down, "Matter is almost over and hey, I forgot, meet my fiancé." I joke showing the lady beside me. She looks dumbfounded same as my friend.

"What the hell are you talking, Anand?! You came here-" I clamp his mouth shut with my hand and widen my eyes in warning way to make him shut. He nods in agreement and I lose my grip from him.

"Two years."

My back went stiff when I heard Aastha's voice beside me.

I turn to her with a frown, she is actually considering this? I thought she would run away from me. I watch her for a while; she raises her chin like she is feeling proud of herself. I exhale; after all she is proving that she is a gold digger now so I smile.

Welcome to my life, Aastha, I will show you what it is like to be my wife. You will run scared of me after few days, baby.

We took our seats after that, she closed her eyes tightly like she was praying or calculating something. She gulped, glancing at me and said the amount she wanted. Huh. It was only few lakhs, I would have given that right away. The puppy beside her fumed with anger. He amused me a lot; he tried to stop her so much but she didn't listen to him at all. I was actually surprised when she demanded to have a written agreement about money. She has a brain then, I thought.

I look at the Officer, he sits up straight and gestures a Constable to bring a bond paper. After few minutes, an assistant comes forward with a typewriter.

What the f**k? These guys are still using typewriters? I wonder. He starts typing our agreement so fast and in few minutes our agreement is ready. I stand up after signing the agreement. I have to credit her every month for two years, I can send all the money in one go but she insisted for monthly payments. Whatever, I shrug.

I sigh glancing at her; she is looking at the agreement in her hands like she is looking at a missing person poster with sadness. I roll my eyes and turn around to walk away from this hellhole.

"Stop, where are you going? What about marriage?" she demands.

F**k. I close my eyes in annoyance. I totally forgot about that, I have to marry her? I groan, turning to her.

"Can't you wait for few days?"

She shakes her head, "I don't trust your words."

I cross my arms and gaze at her from head to toe, giving her a once over. Tempting. She closes her eyes tightly when she realizes that I am checking her out.

"Saru, please listen to me; he is giving us money. It's enough, let's go." her Puppy is pleading her but she is still waiting for my answer. I exhale.

"Narayana Murthy? Do you have Mangalasutram here?" I ask, he looks startle and shakes his head, no.

I smile at her smugly and shrug, her lips forms in thin line. She turns to Officer and requests him to wait for some time and then turns to the boy. My smile vanishes. Shit, she is not giving up!

"What's happening, Anand?" Arun murmurs beside me. I don't know. She is ordering her Sunny puppy to bring her marriage's mangalasutra from home. She is warning him not to say a word to anybody and makes him promise her. Promise? They are only meant to break, babe. Our eyes locks for a second, she looks away first and takes a seat.

Should I really marry her? F**k, man. I curse sitting at other end of hall beside Arun.

"What if Taruni knows about this?" he asks quietly.

I sigh, stroking my hair back. I haven't thought about her from days; I left her because of this woman sitting across from me. I glance at her sharply but my shoulders slump down looking at her because she is crying. Why she is crying now? She got what she wanted then why crying? I don't understand Woman. I shake my head and answer Arun's question with a shrug.

"What will you say to your parents, bro?" he demands. I shrug again, "Let's see."

I close my eyes, wondering where the hell I come into.
