Diya pov

"Verma's?" he asked shocked, "I know Dev Verma a big businessman but no idea what his son is doing, but I thought that boy had no family" his face is not showing any discomfort or shocked like his dirty secret is out just shocked that Arjun has a family.

"He has a family Paa and they are also soo good they care for me more than Arjun Paa," I said still looking for any expression from him apart from the shock but I saw nothing. Maybe Arjun is wrong about my father. My father won't ever do things that will harm anyone and I been seeing it for long.

He thought for a long minute and sat on the couch removing his tie, "I need to speak with his family Diya. I need to make sure my daughter is safe in good hand, only then I can be without worry"

Nodding my head I hugged him, "Thanks for understanding Paa. I am sure you will really like then once you see them. I will tell you after talking with Arjun and his parents" 

"Okay" his eyes scanned my face, "are you happy Diya?" hiding my expression I smiled broad, "very very happy Paa. Arjun is the best" he kissed my forehead, "Don't hesitate to ask me anything if you need Diya. I am always there for you" 

After chatting some time with my father I went to the mall to get a gown for today's party. After a long 15 minutes search, I found a pale pink color gown glistening in the light, I know it will be too much but I just want to irritate Arjun.

Getting inside the house which is wide open, I saw him watching television hearing my footsteps his eyes landed on me for a second but moved to television once again in an irritating way.

'Is my presence that irritating for you Arjun? Let me see how long you are going to be like this' I walked into his room and about to close the door when a hand stopped me, "what?" I asked seeing his smirk, "I need to use the restroom" this idiot has planned something.

Giving him some space I saw him going inside the restroom. I waited for 15 minutes but still, he is not coming out, "Arjun" 

.......

"Arjun"

.......

"Arjun have you slept inside?" it's already 6 I have to go down within an hour.

.........

"Are you going to come out or not?" I am getting mad with his play, "Arjun...." he is doing this wantedly.

"Aww, my wifey is irritated? Say you are not going to the party I will come out" I know his cheap acts, "I am not going to shake my head according to your wish"

"You have to wifey" he shouted from inside, "Don't call me wifey I hate it when you say it and I will not do what you say, try your best" I challenged him.

"I am doing my best" I took the water from the kitchen and shouted, "come out Arjun or I will drench your mattress and couch with water, it will be wet for a whole week"

"You are not doing that" he roared from in, "Try me" I poured the whole jug of water on it and took another jug and poured it in the remaining places of bed while pouring it I saw the keys near his laptop, maybe other room keys? I hide it quickly. Running to the kitchen I took more water and poured enough water on the bed and couch.

"Work is done," I said happily clapping my hands hearing a thud sound I saw him coming out the restroom angrily, taking the best chance I ran into the restroom taking my clothes and shut it, "You stupid" I heard a hard bang on the door, "sleep on the floor Mr. Arjun Verma" I heard glass shattering sound, "Control your anger Mr. Arjun otherwise you might even lose your laptop too," I said peeking out of the door but couldn't control myself from laughing when I saw his laptop is shattered on the ground as he is looking it with disappointment.

"You are such an idiot Arjun" when he saw me, I quickly shut the door and decided to take a quick bath. When I came out and saw him sitting at the edge of the cot, trying to join the broken pieces of the laptop, "Should have thought before throwing it in anger" he got out of the room angrily without uttering anything to me.

Quickly I got changed into my dress and applied cream and lip gloss as I hate lipsticks after satisfying my look I took one look at my dress and face I adjusted my hair a bit as I left it free due to wetness on the back of my head.

The door abruptly opened and here comes my hero with an angry look, "Is there any fashion show going on?" 

I know I feel like overdressed but I am going to go there wearing this only, "how revealing are you wearing"

"Excuse me?" my mouth wide open, "Is this revealing? Have you ever lost your eyesight Arjun?" I looked down at myself again, "Yeah this neckline is somewhat low but not too low to reveal anything"

"And what about this hand?" he pointed to my hand, "it's not...." I stopped in middle realizing his possessiveness, so I went near him and put my hands around his neck looking into those angry eyes, "Are you showing your possessiveness Arjun? that too for me?" he removed my hand from his neck harshly, "get out" and he went to the balcony.

Laughing at his antics I moved down to the party place. Once I saw the glowing garden glittering with bright lights my legs moved towards the path of light pulling me to it's a beautiful destination. Some of the girls gave me a weird look like, 'who is she?', 'I have never seen her', 'maybe Esben's girlfriend' ignoring them I walked in and mesmerized by it's a beauty...

Everything about it screams luxury and wealth. Happy kids running here and there, love couples blushing and smiling, ladies with their usual gossips, men's sipping their glasses with serious discussions and young peoples trying to get other gender attention.... these are the only thing I saw there.

"Pleasure to meet you beautiful" I heard his American Accent and turned to the direction of voice, there he stood in his three piece grey suit with a bow tie and that cute dimple smile is making him look more handsome.

"How can I decline such a sweet person's offer?"

"Are you trying to flirt with me Ms. Beautiful"

"You like it right?"

"Very much, anyway where is your relative?"

Arjun? "He is having some work so he couldn't come" I lied.

"I am bored of this dialogue"

"Ben...." a middle aged man called him so he excused himself and went to him. I sat on the single seat couch and look at my mobile to avoid getting bored but got interrupted by a little boy's voice.

"Do you have stars on your dress?" he is too small maybe within two years but looking handsome in his small black suit and a neatly combed hair.

Laughing at his question, "No. It's glitters which looks like stars"

"Can you put it on my dress?" he said pointing at his suit. I can't help but laugh at his cute pleadings, "Okay I will after this party gets over"

"Promise?" he asked angling his head, "Sure little cutie" I kissed his cheek after pinching them, "Your Name?" he asked me, "Diya" I said, he pinched my cheeks like the way I pinched his and said, "I like your name"

"And what's you name cutie?"

"Krish Hooda son of Mehul Hooda and Pratini Hooda and my daddy mobile number is 76..." I laughed loud hearing his whole family details.

"Krish...." I heard a gentle smooth voice and saw a young lady about my age came to Krish, "What are you doing here?" when her gaze fall on me she smiled at me wide, "Hi I am Pratini this naughty man's mother"

"I am Diya" I said, "Sorry to ask but I haven't seen you here" she asked.

"Yeah I am new here, I am Arjun relative just came here yesterday"

"Ohh Okay by the way you are looking so beautiful I wish to have a sister-in-law like you for my brother. Wait let me introduce you to him" what? No.

"Mrs Hooda No..." before I could protest she went away from me and came back with a man who is really looking hot and handsome but still my heart is yearning for my Arjun's presence beside me to hold my hand.

"Hi" he said I saw Pratini saying something on her brother's ear and went away leaving us alone as I felt bit strange.

"Hi. Diya" I said he smiled and said, "I know and your smile is beautiful. Don't take me wrong but it's true and I am not flirting" god let me not blush right now, "Thanks" I said looking down at my feet.

"I am Raghav Shaan" I raised my head and nodded in 'okay'.

"With your look I think I have chance to get mingled with you" even his wink is beautiful his sentence made me sad. I am married women but still I have no signs of marriage. No ring, Nuptil chain (wedding chain) or not even sindhoor on my hair partition. Instead of answering him I stayed silent.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?"

"Perhaps yes perhaps no" I said what I felt, "I like you Diya" he said out of blue as my eyes widened, it's too fast for confession, "I know it's fast but I have seen you in my client's office two years back when I came there for meeting and I instantly liked you but never got chance to meet you again and now I found you again but now you are looking more beautiful even years passed" how much shock is he going to give me while he is looking at me with some ray of hope in his eyes.

I tried to speak but no words is coming out of my mouth right now, "Will you give me chance to me?" he spoke politely and softly. Surely he is a nice man but I can't even think anyone in my Arjun's place.

"I...I am..I am sor...sorry. But I...I can't" his face fell instantly as he quickly turned to other direction, "I am sorry but" I let out a huge breathe, "sorry to make you disappointed"

Turning to my direction he looked at the floor not meeting my gaze, "It's okay. But I will try my best till I lose hope" he said finally looking into my eyes with a hope which I can never fulfill.

"Diya" I instantly turned and saw my Arjun standing in his casual t-shirt, a green shirt and black jean looking so hot and handsome with his hands in his pockets. 

Can someone be sinfully beautiful like him? Maybe my heart finds him beautiful, he is looking more beautiful for me. His eyes darted to Raghav throwing fire, "Your father wants to speak to you" he said showing me his mobile but I know it's a lie, his eyes never left Raghav as his words are directed to me.

Excusing myself I followed him as he keep on walking fast until we reach a dark place near a tree, "Lier" I said as  he quickly pulled me to him grabbing my wrist making me stand close to him which made my heart beat quicken and breath less.

"I never know you would move this fast" his words felt like a knife directly getting down through my heart...painfully....
