Mishti :)

He sat on the boat, which looked like a bike.. I couldn't understand whether to accompany him or not, because we were in the middle of the sea, the waves were looking scary. I looked outside, people were riding the boat and they were having fun..

"Are we going in this lifetime or do I have to wait for another birth? "

I glared at him, whenever he opens his mouth, either he will crack a joke or mock you. There's no in between, I have never met such an insensitive creature like him.. I looked deep into the sea and I knew it was calling me. Oh, I love the sea so much.. Finally I put all my scary thoughts aside and sat behind him..

"Hold me! " he instructed, "Otherwise, I will be the only one who will come back to the cruise!" it felt more like a threat.. I let out a deep breath and wrapped my arms around his waist and held him tightly.. "Now it feels good! " he commented, I rolled my eyes. This guy flirts openly..

"So we ready? "

"Yup! "

And I, 2 , 3 , we were out, he started riding on the water.. For the first time I was doing a bike boat ride, but it felt so amazing.. "I am going to increase the speed! " and he didn't even wait for my response, due to the heavy wind against our direction it's difficult for me to keep my eyes open..

"How the hell are you looking at your front? This wild wind is not letting me to keep my eyes open ! " I shouted making sure he heard my voice, he left a chuckle.. "Who said I am looking at? Even my eyes are closed! See.. " he tilted his face towards me and I realized I was fucked up.. "Abir! " I hit his shoulder, he started laughing and then increased the speed more..

Now I became alerted, his bike was no longer moving in a linear motion.. As it started leaning horizontally, I became more terrified.. "Yuhuuuu! " he screamed in excitement, half of my body dug into the water, I felt the salty water in my mouth.. "Abir, I will kill you! " I shouted, but it was fun..

A big wave was coming towards us.. There's no point in asking him to take the boat back when he already increased the speed.. My grip around his shirt tightened and he marched the boat towards the wave.. "Woohoo! " I screamed in happiness , it's one of the best thrilling experiences. Though it made me completely drenched, I had fun..

He rode the bike in a circular motion and after an hour we returned back to the cruise.. I dropped myself on the couch and took a breath of relief.. "It's really fun! " Abir said, "It was! " I said with a big smile, his smile brightened and he looked at me.. There was a satisfaction on his face that was clearly visible..

"I need to change my clothes! " I went to his room and changed my clothes .. He had kept extra pairs of clothes for me, most probably he had already planned all of this..

I felt so relaxed after taking a hot shower.. I went to the dinning, it's lunch time.. Abir had booked one table for both of us.. I was feeling so happy that I didn't even focus on food.. Abir showed the pictures from our ride which was captured by the drone.. "You are the first person with whom I am making memories! " I said honestly, he gave a soft nod..

After having lunch I went to a side and sat alone.. There was no stress about any meetings, any projects, nobody was disturbing my peace.. This one day reduced the stress of my last decade.. I have visited a lot of places before, but here it's different. I was completely away from people and my work.. It's just complete peace..

The whole day went like that.. Tonight I didn't sleep early because the moon was pretty and even the stars were visible.. In our city, due to pollution I hardly see stars.. But here it's clearly visible..

________________________

"We are doing scuba diving and it's final! " Abir said, I closed the door on his face and sat on the bed.. No way I will do scuba diving here.. Boat riding was good, but I can't go deep into the sea.. I was surprised how he didn't knock on the door.. But after a moment of silence he entered the room suddenly, before I could ask him anything he showed me the key..

"Listen! I won't force you. You just have to come with me, there is a class regarding scuba diving. We both will sit there, if you won't like it, we won't go! " he stated, I didn't want him to eat my mind more. So I agreed and decided to say No after the class..

But when they started telling everything about the scuba diving, it made me curious. It was interesting. I have come so far, it would be so empty if I would return back without doing the scuba diving. Abir was already expecting a positive response from me. Everything aside, I was still scared..

It's our last day here.. We will go back to our hometown tonight.. I hope I will return in one piece..

It started with some technical lessons and instructions, at first I felt trouble with breathing apparatus as it was really quite difficult to inhale & exhale through mouth.

Then we went underwater,  as I sinked myself and went down , first it felt scary.. Abir held my hand, the instructors were with us.. I was excited and scared.. But as we went deep, I was like WOW. IT'S AMAZING.

Suddenly the color all around me changed and it turned bluish -green.
There was a completely DIFFERENT WORLD out there. It was not like the world we see everyday.
There was complete peace and silence, the only sound I could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat and the sound of my breath.

We saw some small fish, lots of coral , the some school of fish, big fish, colorful coral, dead coral effected in Tsunami, Some Urchin, giant cucumber, yellow fish, zebra fish, A-fish, B-fish, No name fish, then I also found NEMO the clown fish. Ohh Octopus and I was ecstatic seeing the fishes swimming around me.

I was so lost that I literally forgot to breathe.
As we started going deeper and deeper , it felt more amazing.. I didn't want to leave that place. However it's not possible to stay there for a lifetime..

After a While the instructor signed for going up and I checked my watch .. It's been 45 minutes since we were under water, but it just felt like five minutes.. I was in awe.. We both went up to our cruise. I was feeling extremely after such a beautiful moment..

Abir was doing his lunch, I went to him. "You remember when I came here, I said what if I will die. But now even if I die still I won't regret . Because this two days were like heaven to me. You are really annoying, but thank you for everything! " I said..

"It's not because of me. But because of you. You let yourself enjoy, you didn't supress your emotions like other days! " he said, I stared at him then focused on my food..

It's a memorable trip indeed! I was thankful to him..
________________________

As we both were staying in one room, so our clothes got mixed with each other.. He had left some of his clothes in my bag.. I found the payment cheque from his pant.. I decided to visit him and return all his stuffs..

As usual the guards let me go inside.. I parked the car in the parking lot and made my way towards his workshop room.. Just when I was about to knock on the door, my eyes fell on Mivaan bhai and Abir. They both were talking with each other in the lawn..

The ground beneath me slipped. These two family were rivals then how come they both were talking so casually. And it was not even looking serious.. I went back to the parking lot, I could see them from there as well.. I dialled Abir's number and pretended that I was looking at other side..

Hello Abir, I am outside. Actually I came here to return your stuffs!

Wait a minute..

And in a minute he reached me.. "You were busy? I hope I didn't disturb you.. " I said politely, I wanted to know what he answers.. "Yeah.. I was just umm practicing another song.. I have a concert in the next week! " he replied, What a lier!!!  "I should leave, " I got inside my car..

But the car didn't start and I realized it was running out of petrol.. "Anything wrong? " he asked me, "In a hurry I came here and forgot about the petrol! " I said, "Okay , Don't worry! I will book a cab for you! " he said, I nodded positively.. We both went outside, a taxi came.. He was already looking tense and anxious.. He just wanted me to leave that place as soon as possible. Of course he's hiding bhai from me. I got inside the cab and he left..

I was looking outside through the glass, according to sources my family has a rivalry with Rajvansh. And today I saw Mivaan bhai talking with Abir. It's quite strange to me.. I snapped my head towards the driver when he drove the car towards the solitary beach road instead of taking the city road..

"Hey, where are you taking me? This is the wrong route, " I said, he was unaffected.. "Will you stop -" I took a pause when he showed me a gun.. "I hope you will stop now! " he uttered, I became alerted.. He got a call and kept it on speaker..

Did you get her?

Yes Boss. She is with me, I am taking her..

So all this was pre-planned. That's what I was thinking, how my car ran out of petrol when I filled it this morning .. I had parked my car outside today. Damn! It didn't take me a second to snatch the gun and shoot on his neck.

"I hope you take a note before kidnapping anyone. It's Mr Manvik Agarwal's daughter with whom you are dealing with! " I said and jumped to the front seat, kicking him through the door. But somehow I couldn't balance the car and it hit a tree..  I was completely fine ..

Holding the gun I came out of the car and kicked it in frustration.. I opened the backseat door to take my phone, but someone stopped me by keeping his hand on my shoulder.. I could feel five, six people behind me.. Without any hesitation I twirled back, with my heel directly making a hole on that person's cheek and four bullets rushing into the other four's direction..

Messing with Mishti Agarwal costs you everything..

They all groaned in pain and were already bleeding.. I kept my heel on that man's neck, but he pulled me and I fell back.. I quickly stood up and pointed my gun at him.. "Who sent you here? Tell me otherwise you know the consequences! " I muttered, he took a step closer. Me being fierce took a step further which made him scared..

"You are just a goon. Don't even think that a girl like me, who have come from a mafia family and had learned every type of self defense, would be scared of you! Don't waste my time and tell me who's behind you.. " I spoke, when he did not utter anything I pulled the trigger..

The more I hate violence, the more it loves me..

I felt someone's presence behind me, but before I could turn around he pulled me.. My back hit against his chest, he pressed my face with a cloth.. I struggled really hard to free myself, but there's something on that cloth which was slowly making me unconscious.. I deliberately stopped trying and fell back on him..

He took out the handkerchief from my mouth, the drugs had already some effects on me.. I was half-unconsious.. When he tried to drag me, I stomped on his feet and hurt his stomach by my elbow.. My eyes became blurry.. He pulled me to his embrace before I could fall..

"You are smarter than I thought! "

I looked up, his whole face was covered with a mask and he was wearing glasses.. Even I couldn't hear his voice properly due to that tightly pressed cloth above his mouth.. "Listen whoever you are, don't even try to mess with me.. I will die, but won't let you kidnap me! " I whispered, I was at the verge of getting unconscious..

"Darling, I am your savior, not your kidnapper! " he whispered, before pushing me into the car.. I did my best to push him, but my body stopped functioning.. "Let me go! " I shouted as he started driving,  he increased the speed.. Before falling into deep sleep all I could hear was some gun shot noise and car crashing..

_____________________

I opened my eyes only to find maa and papa there.. My head qas spinning, "How are you bachha? " Maa asked me and then flashback hit me.. I remembered all the incidents, but I had no idea how I ended up here.. "Who brought me here? Who was that person? " I asked them, they both looked at each other..

"Umm it's our guard! " Papa said hesitantly, "Your guard addressed me as darling? The audacity! " I muttered, they both exchanged looks with each other..

"Who were they? Your enemies? " I asked him and he nodded.. "He wants to get you, so that he can blackmail us. And of course you are our weakness, so he was targeting you. But don't worry, I have tightened your security, nothing will happen to you again! " he exclaimed.. I was still not sure about the guy who saved me..

"You are ill now. So I will stay here-" I cut my maa off in the middle.. "No need to worry for me, I am completely fine! " I said, I didn't want them to show sympathy nor did I want them to care for me.. "The way you fought with the goons, it was impressive! " Papa said, patting my shoulder.. "You guys should go, I need some space! " I told them to leave..

Maa was reluctant, but papa managed to take her away.. It's just 8:00 in the night.. I took my medicine and went downstairs to make something for myself.. This whole family is a liar. "Hello, Ms Agarwal! " I got startled, but as soon as I recognized the voice I took a breath of relief.. It's Abir..

He handed me a bouquet of flowers, "How are you feeling right now? " he asked me and sat next to my chair.. I was applying butter on my bread.. "How did this news reach you? " I questioned, I met with kidnappers, then an unknown man to whom my father is calling our guard, dropped me here.. And this news also reached him.

"The taxi I called for you just arrived after you left. So I freaked out, I tried to contact you, but I couldn't connect. So I went behind you, but till I reached there a guy had already saved you and thank God he saved you. Otherwise I couldn't have saved you from them! " he mentioned..

I stood up, my hand reached the butter knife, I pulled it gently and kept it on his neck.. My palm  wrapped around the back of his neck.. He raised his eyebrows. "Don't you even try to fool me. Who are you? " I said and pulled his neck close to the knife, he laughed sarcastically..

"Do you think you can kill me with this butter knife? " he said and grabbed me by wrapping his arm around my waist.. "Maybe it's not sharp and can't pierce your skin, but I can dig it into your neck, which might kill you! Sometimes you just need the skill, Mr Rajvansh, not weapons! " I smirked..

"And sometimes you just have to actually believe people's words rather than putting pressure on your pea size brain! " I was expecting such tantrums from him..

"Why did you come here to meet me? " I stepped back, his hands slowly got detached from my skin and I kept the knife.

"I got to know that my friend met with a little accident, so just thought to see her! "

"A reminder for you, I am not your friend! " I stated angrily.

"Do you go to cruise or do adventurous things with your business partners then? " he questioned in a mocking way , I remained silent.. "Thank you for the flowers, you can go now! " I said, he smiled at me and left not before grabbing my sandwich. Argh!

The fake aura he has been showing to me was clearly visible. He isn't someone what he shows.. And my gut feelings never fail to recognize the reality.. I dialled a number.. I had something in mind, definitely a foolish idea but it's needed..

___________________

I hid behind a banner and waited for my guards to show up.. I thought Abir would be on his side of beach, but today he was on another side. And as it was night time, people were not there.. I dialled one of my guards number, but he didn't pick up.. I just wants to know if he's a mafia or not. I have told my guards to attack him, of course he would fight back..

But I have seen my brothers fighting, it's always aggressive. There's a difference between self defense and actually beating someone. I have told my guards to not actually beat him, just attack him and then run away if he come to his real form..

I snapped at Abir when six people surrounded him.. I told him to send five people, but anyway! At least they could have contacted me first.. Abir, stood up and hung the guitar on his back.. My heart beat was increasing.. Suddenly on of them punched his cheek, my eyes widened.. What's the actual fuck? I didn't tell them to beat him..

Abir pushed him back, all of them started attacking him and he did nothing to protect himself.. "Why are you beating my son? " Abir's mom was there too.. She tried to push them away, but they were actually beating him. I ran to my car and brought my gun. These aren't my people..

I shot the bullet into their legs to scare them.. Abir was already bleeding, aunty held him.. I became sure about them not being my people when they attacked me.. But they didn't have any weapons , so I beat the hell out of them. When it comes to fighting these people are nothing in front of me ,huh! . Maybe I don't have enough strength, but when I get angry I just become powerful.. I wanted to call the police, but a car came and they all ran away..

I ran to Abir, "Are you fine? " I asked him, he nodded.. "Aunty, we should take him to the hospital! " I said, we both held him from both sides and took him towards my car.. I drove the car to the nearest hospital.. "You are such a big celebrity, where are your guards to protect you? " I questioned, aunty was badly crying..

He was not much injured, the doctor gave him an injection and applied ointment on the injured spot.. He was laying on the bed. I kept the medicines on the desk and gave him a curious look.. "Beta, thank you for saving his life.. How did you manage to beat all of them? " she asked me, "Aunty, I have learned self - defense from my childhood, so! " I muttered..

One of the main reason behind me learning all this was that I belong to a mafia family, so my life was always at risk. I can't always depend on my guards to protect me. She thanked me again and talked with Abir about this incident.. She got a call from someone so she left the chamber.. I stood near him..

His cheek has become red , I took a cotton and dabbed on it.. "Ouch! " he groaned in silence, I dabbed it more causing more pain. "Don't you even try to fool me.. I ain't your mom. Stop acting! " I said gritting my teeth, he removed my palm from his cheek and rubbed his cheek gently..

"What do you think? I am a human being, not a machine .. If you will harm my already injured part then it will give me pain! " he expressed, I tapped on his biceps and then held his hand.. "These biceps and these hands, it just became hard like stone by doing nothing? " I pulled him holding the sleeve of his vest.. "Tell me what your intentions are! " I asked..

He brushed his palm on my cheek and then moved it back to my hair and grabbed me close to his face... "Look into my eyes, do you really think I am lying about anything? " he whispered, I gulped. It kind of gave me goosebumps. His brows fucking intense eyes were hella manipulative..

"What were you doing with my brother? I saw you yesterday with him. But when I asked you , you lied. So you want me to believe you after all this? " I whispered, his grip around me loosened, but I held his vest tightly and pulled him closer.. It harmed his injury which made him scream.. "Tell me! " I stated.. Even if he was faking the pain, I let him go..

"Your brother Mivaan is in love with my dear sister, Sharanya! " he announced, my eyes widened.. I knew bhai had a girlfriend, but she's Abir's sister.. "Your sister loves him too? " I asked being curious, he left a chuckle. Was it funny ?

"My sister is not a blind that he will fall in love with a mafia! " his words sent shivers down my spine. "How do you know that he is a mafia? " I mumbled, he smirked. "I even don't know how all the news reached my ears without even asking for it! " he said sarcastically , I was so done with him.. He would have got to know about all this through his sister. Maybe my brother wanted to stay honest with her , so he told her everything about his reality..

"Take care and never cross my path again! " I said and left the hospital. My mind was blasting with all those thoughts. That's when my guard called me, wahh! So soon!

I am sorry, mam.. I was little bit busy.

I gave you a work today. What happened? You didn't come..

But it's for tomorrow right ?

I pulled my hairs in frustration and cut off the call.. Everyone has decided to ruin my mental peace.. Even Jeevika was not with me.. I drove back to my house. There's no point of saying anything to anyone. These people have fucked off my mind..

I didn't go home, rather went to my office.. I needed to focus on my work. Life was good when I had only one business, these family and this Abir came and ruined my mental peace. It's better to make deals rather than drama. It's night time, so I was the only one in the office..

I need to make a deal with Mr Shrivastav and for that I have to visit India. I want to promote my brand in India as well. But I have lost all my connection with my own land. That place doesn't give the homely vibes anymore. Nothing feels like home. Everyone is just a bunch of lier and doesn't care about anything..

My heart jumped when my three brothers came into my chamber, it's 12:00 at night.. "What are you doing here? " I asked them being shocked.. Maanvir bhai started searching my drawer, Mrinal bhai checked my pockets and Mivaan bhai was standing on a karate position.. "What's wrong with you guys? "

"Neither she have guns, nor any weapons. We all are safe! " Maanvir bhai announced, I glared at them.. "What are you all saying? " I shouted in anger, "Relax bachha! Relax! " Maanvir bhai patted my cheek, I glared at three of them.. "Nothing we just heard about your bravery act, the way you handled the kidnapper and also the way you helped Abir! " Mivaan bhai said..

"So your brother in law told you everything, " I said, it sounded more like a taunt.. The other two laughed, but bhai didn't. "Sharanya is not my girlfriend, so umm Abir is not my brother in law as well! " he said bitterly.. "We are not in a good terms with Rajvansh, right? " I asked him, because I wanted to clarify my doubt about all those news and rumors. Three of them looked at each other and sighed..

Mrinal bhai came forward and held my hand.. "I know you really hate us for our action and work. And we are kind of stuck. Nothing is more important than you, but still we are not capable of doing anything. We have certain things to achieve. We never wanted to drag you in this mess, but destiny has some other plan.. But I promise you, everything has an end. And this will come to an end soon and you will get a clarification as well..

In future you will get to know about something that might hurt you, it will actually hurt you. But see, trust on us. If we are not telling you something that means we want certain things to happen in a certain way. So I hope you forgive us. And we don't want to include you because we don't want to give you headache! That's it... " he concluded..

I stared at all of them like I saw a zombie.. Wasn't my mind already messed up, they did it more! So there's more to know.. "We should leave now! " Mivaan bhai hugged me before leaving, the trio left after making a whole puzzle in my fucking head. I put my head on the headrest..

Even I had no interest in all these drama.. It's better if I stay awa from it. They are right.

_______________________

After whatever bhai told me, I didn't expect my days to go smooth, but my last four days were normal. I didn't bump with Abir as well.. He had back to back two concerts, he did it even though he was injured. Jeevika had returned from Europe. I didn't tell her anything about all these incidents. Because she would have freaked out for no reason.. I even told her to make a distance from Abir Rajvansh and not tell him anything about my life. I can trust her that much..

It's Ahmedabad International Airport. My heart came to my throat. After a decade I kept my feet on India.. I was welcomed by chaos.. My hometown is Rajkot, but I have decided to not visit it. Nobody from my family have any idea that I came here to India.. "Mam, should I book the nearest hotel? " Jeevika asked her, I said no..

"Mr Shrivastav said that we can stay in their guest house, I refused him a lot of time but he was admant.. " I said, "Is it safe to stay at his guest house? I mean how much even we know him! " she mumbled in hesitation.. I smiled at her..

"As much as I know him, it's safe.. Plus he is a person who values culture. In India if a guest come to our house , we let them stay in our guest house. And he have numerous guest house, so it's okay. It's safe, you can trust me! " I explained, she nodded.. We both dragged our luggage to outside, the morning sunrays was quite vibrant..

"Hey what a pleasant surprise! " I got startled and shut my eyes.. This tone sounded familiar and I already guessed her name before turning my head.. It's Abir's mom.. "Hello aunty! " I greeted her, "Oh My God, we were in same flight but could not see each other! " she said, God's grace..

She asked me about the reason for my arrival and I explained everything to her.. "No no, it doesn't sound good to stay at strangers. Why don't you come with me, you will stay in our House! " she advised, Jeevika became excited..

Aunty! Aren't you a stranger to us as well? I so wanted to ask this question. "No aunty, it's okay! " I refused, Jeevika's smile dropped.. "No beta, you saved my son's life that day. You have to accept it. Please come with us! " she requested, I sighed in distress..

"Mom, come here! " Abir called her from behind.. "With whom you are talking? " I felt his presence behind me.. I turned around, and he was awestruck.. "You? Here? " he was actually shocked. He was wearing a mask to save himself from people and of course media.. "See! I am telling her to stay with us.. But she's staying at a stranger's house! " Aunty complained..

I was already frustrated, "Mom, why would she trust us? We are strangers to her as well! " Abir provoked  her , I glared at him, because it made the situation worse.. "You don't trust us? " Aunty asked in a sad tone...

"Okay, we will live in your house! " Jeevika announced, I glared at her.. She showed me her puppy eyes.. "Fine! " I muttered.. How I was expecting some peace in my life? That too when I am in India. "Abir's family isn't strangers to you? How did you even agree? " I whisper-yelled Jeevika.. "He is Abir Rajvansh! We are going to stay at his house, I can't believe! " she was excited.. Here we go again..

A girl was standing there, leaning against a car.. She turned towards us and took off her glasses,  "Sharanya! " I whispered to myself.. She hugged aunty then looked at me.. "She is Mishti! And she is Sharanya, my daughter! " Aunty introduced us to each other.. I shook my hand with her.. She was looking upset for some reason.. Neither she smiled looking at Abir nor she even hugged him..

__________________

It's early morning when we reached their house, so everyone were in their own room. I already have social anxiety, so we both quickly freshened up and went for our work.. I told Mr Shrivastav that I met with one of our family friend, so we are staying there.. Our work completed during evening, but I didn't return..

We both stayed at a Radha Krishna temple till 11:00 PM, then did our dinner outside and then returned to their house at 12:00. And to our good luck everyone was sleeping.. Their house helper opened the door for us, "Mam, if we will keep doing this, they will feel bad! " Jeevika said, "Let them! If I won't do this then I will die out of anxiety. I don't want to introduce myself with such a big family.. " I said, she made a pout and went inside her room..

I turned around only to bump with Abir Rajvansh. Seeing his facial expressions I was cleared that he overheard our conversation.. He gave me a cold stare and walked on his way. Miracle! He didn't annoy me today. I went back to my room and changed my clothes. My words must have hurt him.. But it's not my fault, I was already telling them that I won't stay here..

My overthinking session continued till 2:00 am and then I fell asleep ..

______________________

I started running from here to there in my room because I woke up at 6:30 am.. Still I tried to get ready in thirty minutes and came outside.. My eyes fell on Abir, who was doing puja downstairs. He was wearing an orange kurta and a white pant.. Everyone was dressed up in orange.. I was about to go to Jeevika's room but I spotted her near the puja. She was wearing an orange anaarkali..

There's no escape today.. I went down stairs, Abir went to everyone with the arti. At the end he came towards me, the whole family shifted their gaze to me. It made me hell nervous, but I kept my face straight.. Abir applied tikka on my forehead and gestured for me to take the arti.. I did as he said and then took a sweet from the plate. He smiled at me..

As he vanished from my sight, I felt everyone's gaze on me.. All new faces were just giving me anxiety.. A lady just gave me a judgemental look, I was the only one who's wearing western, everyone was in traditional..

"It's Navratri first day, beta! You have work today? " Abir's mom asked me and I nodded.. "Okay, wait for a few minutes.. I will make something for you to eat! " she suggested, but I denied.. "No it's okay aunty. Mr Shrivastav has arranged breakfast for us. And don't make dinner for us too .. We will be late! " I said, her smile dropped..

"Won't you come for garba night? " she asked me with a little bit hesitation, and I shook my head negatively making her disappointed again.. Abir walked past to me without saying anything.. I walked outside, Jeevika followed me.. I wore my heels that is when I saw Sharanya outside.. She was talking with someone on phone and crying. I didn't interfere and went on my own way..

I didn't have any idea about this Navratri season.. Some of our projects work were getting delayed due to this festival season. So our work will take more days instead of three days.. Jeevika wanted to enjoy the garba night , so I let her go..

The whole city was enjoying. It reminded me of my family. When I was here, it used to be my favorite festival. I used to wait the whole year for this season to come. Maa used to make different types of sweets , we used to play garba till late night. I miss wearing those traditional outfits. I sat near a lake side, away from the chaos.. I was feeling lonely today.

My hometown is just 250 kilometre away from here. And it feels like it's calling me. A lone tear dropped from my eyes.. Abir had given me his driver's number, I contacted him and gave him my current location. He safely dropped me at Rajvansh house..

No one was there except some guards.. I went inside , I was welcomed by complete silence.. So everyone were at garba night.. I went upstairs. I was on my way to my room, but something caught my attention.. I could see a big photo frame through a half opened door, I pushed the door and entered inside..

A large picture was hanging there against the wall, it's of Abir with his mom.. I went near it, some small frames were hanged adjacent to it.. A group family picture, a picture of Sharanya Abir and their mom dad.. Abir's childhood picture. A picture with sharanya. So many frames were there.. I took a look around his room.. It's beautiful..

He is a singer, still his room has a dark aesthetic. I had some other expectations.. Below the frames there was a small cupboard.. I wanted to know about him, his truth.. So I was curious.. My fingers curled around the knob of the drawer, but it felt wrong. I should not invade someone's privacy.. And also I promised myself that I won't interfere in anything..

My heart jumped in fear when I was pressed against someone, a strong arm was wrapped around my belly.. I was still holding the knob of the drawer.. My heart came to my throat .. I knew it was Abir.. His cheek slightly brushed with my cheek as he leaned forward above my shoulder and held my hand, removing it from the drawer.. My heart beat increased, because he caught me red handed..

"I thought a thief came inside, but here it's a beautiful girl! " he whispered near my ears, I was feeling so embarrassed for peeking inside his room like that.. I slowly turned around and then I was sandwiched between his toned muscular chest and the cupboard.. It made me more nervous because he has come from the bathroom after taking a bath..

For the first time I looked at him from so close, his wet locks were falling on his forehead.. He was just wearing a white towel and his body had some water droplets. "If you were in the bathroom, then how could I not hear any sounds! " I whisper-asked, I was doing wrong by coming here, so I was already scared. And then he was standing so close and holding me near him. I wanted to push him away, but I was not able to. Today my hormones became weak as well.. It happens when you control yourself more than you should....

He pulled me close to his chest, in the semi darkroom his brown eyes were looking intense that can make any girl go crazy. Though I am not a girl, but a mature woman still it was doing wonders for me.. "My bathroom is sound proof. So if in future I stayed here with my wife and do some make out in the bathroom, then it should be only me who would hear her moans! " he whispered in his husky voice..

I was dumbstruck. My palms were resting on his chest.. And I knew they were trembling.. "But what were you doing in my room? " he asked, I let out a deep breath and got a grip on myself.. I pushed him away gently and stood straight. His eyes roamed around my face like he was studying me. This night is hell..

"I saw this frame, I found it adorable. So I just came to see it! " I replied, his smirk deepened. "But your hands were on the drawer! " he interrogated, there was no solid lie for that. So I simply moved past him..

"Miss Agarwal! " he voiced, it made me stop but I didn't look back..

"No matter how much you try to find anything against me, you won't get anything. Because your imagination is not the reality! " he said, his voice was so solid, so brave that it made me question my life choices. It forced me to believe him.. I did not say anything and went to my room..

I should stop putting pressure in my mind. I should stop doubting on him.
