Atharva's POV

I returned to the mall in just 20 minutes after completing my work because the place was near to the mall.

I searched for my butterfly in the lady's dress section and she was drawing her fingers on a navy blue dress so lovingly. I looked at her from the position where she could not see me.

I think she liked the dress. That dress will look fabulous on her. I want to look at her in this outfit.

A frown appeared on her face after looking at the price tag and then she moved ahead. I think it is expensive for her.

When she was out of my sight I looked for its price and it was 18000. But it is not that expensive. Anyway, I called a girl from the staff, and told her to change the price tag to 8000, show this dress to her and convince her to buy the dress. I ordered her not to utter even a single word about all this. She agreed to do this even without any commission.

I paid for her dress's bill along with my tuxedo. They gave me a huge discount. I went towards my car before she left the mall and now we are in the car going back to the resort.

"I said STOP! Stop the car" she shouted at me.

"Why are you shouting?"

"I am asking you to stop the car from the past 1 minute but you are not listening to me. Now just stop"

I thought she is having some problems so I stopped. The moment I stopped she tried to open the car. I immediately clicked the child lock.

"Where do you think you are going"

"To save that puppy"

"Puppy?"

She looked outside the window and tilted her head to the backside. I reversed the car and there was a puppy.

"Look, how badly it is crying. Its leg has caught between the tramper of the railing, any vehicle can crush it, we have to save it otherwise it will die".

" Then let it die, I don't have time for such frivolous things and you are not a social worker' I said and started the car.

She jumped on me, off the engine, and snatched the key from me.

"What are you doing are you a kid? Don't make me angry. Give me the key back, someone else would save it".

"Do you even have a heart? Someone who one? Everyone would say like this and no one will save it. Open the child lock and take the key back"

She was raising my temper now. I will not let her touch that dirty puppy.

"Open the damn lock! "
She started screaming. She will make me deaf for sure if I didn't comply with her.

"Ok, I am going back to resort, do whatever you want to do here. I just want you at the party tomorrow. I don't want my client to be disappointed because of you".

I opened the lock in anger and started the engine when she left.

She crossed the road without looking here and there like she doesn't care about her life.

But I was not able to leave her in this deserted place so I decided to keep my eyes on her.

She put that puppy in one of her palms and freed its leg from the other hand. How could she touch that dirty puppy without any hesitation? She could fall ill. Why she doesn't care about herself.

She left that puppy there by roaming her hand on its neck.

She took the sanitizer out of her bag and applied thoroughly on her hands.

I was so endorsed in her that I didn't notice that there were three boys watching her with not so good intentions.

This boiled my blood. I think they want themselves dead.

They were saying something to her which she ignored and turned around. One of them moved ahead and touched her. How dare he to touch what is just mine? I will break his hand. Before I could leave my car I heard the sound of a loud slap.

Shreya slapped him, she offered him a tight slap across his left cheek as a gift and pointed her finger towards them in a daring way with so much fire in her eyes.

Bravo!

But I guess these guys will not keep their hands back like this. All of them started to move towards my butterfly together. She started to move back.

I immediately stood behind her at 2 hand distance and gave those bastards one look with one of my eyebrows up and that was enough to make those kids run for their lives.

I kept my hands at my back in a locked position because I know once I got out of my control, I will not stop until they are begging for their life. And there are 100% chances for this to happen. And I don't want my butterfly to look at my this side and get scared. I want her to fear me but not in this way.

Her back bumped into me and she got shocked and terrified. She turned around and took a breath of relief after looking at me.

This is the thing which I don't want to lose. I know that she hates me but somewhere there is a belief in me that she feels protected around me. That's why I don't want to show her who actually I am.

" I told you not to leave the car. Have you thought about what they could do to you?"
Now, this was my turn to shout at her.

"I am safe," She said while rolling her eyes and turning around to grab the railing.

Why did she give me so much attitude?

Sometimes I don't get who is the boss here...Me or she?

I stand beside her, she was looking up in the sky full of twinkling stars. She was looking at the sky and I was looking at her. Both enjoying their beautiful view.

"Hey look there, toot ta tara (meteors)"

She pointed towards the meteor and instantly joined her hands together, intertwining the fingers and closed her eyes.

I was intently looking at her each and every feature and made them imbibe in my memory. Her eyes were closed so tight and her lips were moving. She was mumbling something maybe her wish.

After a minute she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me.

"You didn't wish for anything?"

"I don't believe in all this shit. I can get everything that I want in a move of a finger either willingly or forcefully"

She didn't reply and just look up high in the sky with a little smile.

Her eyes were twinkling like stars and her face was shining like a moon. Cold Breeze were fanning her hair and face softly. For me, all the beautiful sights were nothing in front of her. She was looking like an angel who has came to my life to cure all the wounds.

I moved towards her and her elbow came in contact with my body.

There was so much peace and calmness on her face that I just want to stop this moment and cherish it by engulfing her in my arms.

"Isn't it beautiful?" She asked me looking up in the sky

"Yes, very" I replied looking at her

She moved her head to look into my empty eyes. There was no need to move our lips to say something as our eyes were talking to each other.

I bend my head further and our faces were just an inch apart. My mind was saying no but my heart wanted to kiss her forehead to make this moment a memorable one.

My heart was craving for something after decades.

She was also standing there still looking deep into my eyes. I moved my head a little more towards her.

She came to her senses, blinked her eyes twice and moved a foot away from me without uttering a single word.

Her action pierced my heart.
