Shanaya's POV:

(Alright...... so he took off and as per the tracker on his car and his watch he is going towards Oberoi Mansion.! Okay Cool! Now I need to go there and need to use this improvement in him and start practicing other techniques that can bring his complete old self back and than we both can work together in getting that mastermind.!!! Did I get any messages from Aarush(the hacker guy who helped Shanaya earlier to get all the information about Oberois).!!! Lemme check..!!! Nope..! Man he's taking his sweet time. Should have given him a deadline.!!! I was in these thoughts when I reached Oberoi mansion and could sense the tension in the air.! What the hell.!! What happened.? Another Attack.??? No.! That is impossible.! I have installed sensors here.! I would have been notified.!!!! I could see Manav going back and forth in the living room and Sr. Oberoi looks tensed too.!! Hmm... What am I missing.???? Is there something that I should be aware of.??? Well.!! Lemme ask.!)

Shanaya: All good???

(I asked looking at both Sr. Oberoi and Manav.!! To which Manav looked furiously at me and came dashing towards me as if will kill me any moment.! What's up with this guy.!!?)

Manav: GOOD.??? HOW COME ALL WILL BE " GOOD" IF YOU ARE AROUND????

Shanaya: Okay...........!!! What now.???
(I am confused.!!! Why is he so mad at me.!!! What did I do.?? I was thinking about his changed behavior and trying to deduce the possibilities behind this sudden change in his behavior when I heard a loud banging noise.!! THE HELL.!!!!! Did someone broke in.??)

Shanaya: You guys go to the safe room.! This noise came from upstairs! Probably someone is trying to break in your house.! I will go upstairs.! Where the hell is the God damn security.????

SO: No need.!!

Shanaya: Sorry.?!!! No need.???? What do you mean.? There is .....
(again a loud banging noise.! But something crushing as well.!!! Wait.!! It's coming from Aditya's room.!!!! What the hell is he doing.??)

Shanaya: It...... is ........ coming...... from....... Aditya's room.?????

Manav: YES.!!!! YOU KNOW WHY?????

SO: Manav.....

Manav: No uncle.!!! She should know..!!!

Shanaya: What should I know.?

Manav: It's because of YOU.!!!! YOU broke his trust.!! It's because of YOU he is going through all this.!!! How can you be so emotionless.??????

(I can see anger visible in his voice and eyes.!!!)

Shanaya: Me.??? What did I do.????

(Dude.! I am clueless.!!! I can't think of anything that drive him this mad.!!! And trust.?? What trust.???? We just met couple of days ago.?!!!! What trust did I broke.??? Can someone trust me that fast.!!!!!! Strange.!!! Anyways if that's the point than I need to go to his room.! I hope he don't hurt himself.!! It's just few days and guess how will it affect my bodyguard status.!!!! Nope can't let that happen..!! I rushed to his room followed by Sr. Oberoi and Manav.!!!)

Shanaya: Hey Aditya..!! What's going on.!!!? What are you doing in there???

(I heard another crashing sound by the door and can easily say that he threw a vase on the door..!! What is this guy's problem.???? Then I heard him yelling from inside his room..!)

Aditya: Get lost Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat..!!! Do your bodyguard duty..!!

Shanaya: Well..... technically I am doing that..!!! You know.!!!

(Another crashing sound..!  Yup.! It's the mirror this time.!!!! He surely is testing my patience.! All that glass could seriously harm him.!!! My patience is reaching it's limit.!)

Shanaya: WHAT THE HELL.!!! Whatever you are doing in there stop it this moment.! As per my job I cannot let you harm yourself.!!
Get your stupid self out of your room this very second or I will break it open the very next second.!

(I am loosing my temper.!!! THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE AROUND ME.!!!! )

Shanaya: I am going to count till 5.! If you don't open this goddamn door.!!! You won't like the results.!!!!
1......
2.......
3........
4........

(That's it.!!! I gestured both Manav and Sr. Oberoi to move Aside.! I moved back 5-6 steps and with full force ran towards the door and kicked it off.!!! Obviously it broke.!!!!!! I was going to enter his one big messy room when all of a sudden I saw a flying vase coming towards our side.! Cz Manav and Sr. Oberoi were standing with me.!!!! I caught the vase on time.!! What the actual hell man.!! He could have hurt them.!!!! )

Shanaya: HEY FREAK.!! What the hell? Your stupidity could have hurt them.!!! What the hell do you think you were doing????

(I could see change in expression on his face for few moments but anger again took over it.!! He rushed towards us, hold me by my arm and asked both of the guys to leave.!!! Damn his grip is tight.!  I am trying to free myself but...... I CAN'T.!!!! How.???? Manav and Sr. Oberoi left.!)

Shanaya: The hell.!!!! Just leave me .! We need to talk .! I have got some ideas of what can we do next..!!!!

(Instead of leaving me he hold another arm of mine.... Damn his grip is tight.! Shit.! I can't free myself.!! He then started to walk towards the wall to our left along with literally pushing me towards it.!!! What is wrong with him.??? My back hit the wall with a thud and he pressed himself over me.!! I tried to free myself with all my power but can't.! His gaze..!!! What is it.?? I am looking currently at his eyes and trying to keep an eye contact with him.!! Why.!? Why.! I know exactly what to do.? One kick and he won't be able to stand up for at least 2 day.! Why can't I do it.??  What is this intensity in his look..!! Why do I feel like I did something wrong.!! Wait what.?? What am I thinking.??? I tried to free myself again and in that process I forgot that he was actually very close to me.!!! I looked up and we are inches away.!! Shit.! I can't move.! One wrong move.! And a kiss.!! Which is not going to happen.!! I just turned my face and looked other way.!! I could feel his breath on my right ear.! And I felt something in my stomach.! The hell.????? Damn this stupid hormones.!!!! Calm down Shanaya.! It's just this heat of the moment.! He spoke breaking my thought process..!)

Aditya: Look at me Shanaya.!!!

( Damn it.!! Okay.... okay..... you are The Shanaya Shekhawat.!! Get your sassy self out and push this girly side aside...... I turned towards him and maintained the eye contact.!)

Shanaya: What. Is. It.??? Just leave me at once.! We don't have time for all this. Do you get it? I will get a text from my informer soon and will get to know everything.! Who was he, whom did he work for.!!! Also we have to work on you.!! You just rediscovered yourself today.!! Now we have to brush up those skills.!!!! You know it will be so......

(he suddenly covered my mouth with his hand making me go quite.!!! What.????)

Aditya: Work work work work.!!!! That's all you think of.?????? You don't have any emotions.???? You have no idea about human nature.!! Do you.???

(He removed his hand to let me speak... hmm.... well.... )

Shanaya: Emotions...... No time for that
Human....... Hmmm Not much
Nature........ Not my zone.!!!!!

(He left me with a jerk..! Thank goodness.! Damn it hurts now.!!! I looked at him and he was looking furious... .! Did I say something wrong.?)

Aditya: You ..... you are such a jerk.!!!!

Shanaya: Jerk.??? Well it's not as if I am getting this compliment for the first time.!! But coming from you.!!! What's wrong.??

Aditya: Shanaya...... You seriously are heartless.!!!! I heard this about you but didn't believe it.!!! I thought they were wrong.! The way you talk to me the other day.. the way you listen to me.... the way you handled me made me think that you actually have very sweet and kind heart.! You just try to hide that side of yours and make a thick layer of this your emotionless and sassy personality.!!!!

(Shit.! How.???? How did he.......)

But I was wrong.!!!! YOU proved me wrong.!!! I TRUSTED YOU SHANAYA.!!!!! I SHOWED YOU MY MOST VULNERABLE SIDE.!!!! AND YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT.!!!!!
You are acting as if everything is normal.!!!! You know you have distanced yourself so much from emotions and humans that you have completely forgotten about how it feels when someone uses you or breaks your trust.!!! You didn't even thought of apologizing.!!!! Wow.!!!!

Shanaya: Apologies.???? For what.???? Dude I am your bodyguard.! I will do everything to save you and help you to get you out from that guilt because it is coming in my way to protect you.! Why should I apologize.????
I am your BODYGUARD.!!!!!
I am doing my job.!!!!
Don't expect anything else other than duty from me.!!!! I have never failed in any assignment.!!! And you are not so easy assignment of mine which will be tricky to complete.! But I will not back off..!

Aditya: So...... I am just an assignment to you.?????
Seriously.?????
Just. An. Assignment.????

(Shit.! I didn't mean it that way.!!! I can see he is hurt.!!!)

Shanaya: Listen.... it's not.... (cut off by Aditya)

Aditya: I got it Ms. Shanaya Shekhawat.!! Just an assignment.!!! (Does he gave to repeat it??)
You know.? It is my mistake.!!! I am a fool that after that incident when you handled me emotionally I thought there is something.!! May be we could be friends..!!

(Friends.??? So there are people who think I could be a friend.??? Strange.!!! He continued..)

But I was wrong..!!! I forgot the most important lesson of life.... "NEVER EXPECT ANYTHING FROM ANYONE..... CZ EXPECTATIONS LEADS TO DISAPPOINTMENT.!!!!!
I am leaving now.! Don't worry I am in the house itself so you don't have to worry about me.! And as you say you are "Professional" meet me after taking appointment via my PA.! We will discuss your other ideas at that time.... We will now talk business.!!!

(Aaaaaaaand he left.!!!! Wow.!!! What is this strange feeling I am having all of a sudden.!!!! I am feeling guilty.??? Am I supposed to apologize.??? But why.??? Man.!!! I knew this case was not like my other cases but I surely didn't wanted to get involved emotionally.!!! Fuck dude.!!!! I dunno what to do..!!! Oh.... wait.!!!!! My lifeline.!!!! She will help me.!!!! She always helped me when I messed up with Oldie.!! She might help me now.!!!! I went out of his room as his servants were here to clean this mess... man it's gonna take them long enough time to clear this shit.!!!! I went to my room after making sure where Aditya went and I saw him with Sr. Oberoi in his library.!!! I went to my room... closed the door and called my lifeline..!)

Phone conversation:

Shanaya: Priyaaaaa.!!! What's up my lifeline..?? I miss you so so much..!!!

(I tried to be extra sweet.! Even though I know she will catch me right away..! Except from my dad.... only she and her boyfriend knew my REAL side.!!!)

Priya: Wow.!!! Someone is being extra sweet.!!! You messed up again..! Didn't you.??

Shanaya: Not really.!! Actually I don't know whether I messed up or not.!! I am completely lost this time.!!!

Priya: Good Lord.!! THE SHANAYA SHEKHAWAT is lost.!!!!!!
But wait..! You can't mess up with uncle as you are on your assignment and if I am not mistaken your new client is The Aditya Singh Oberoi.!!!!

(I could feel the excitement in her voice..!! She is totally fan girl of him.!)

Shanaya: Goodness gracious girl.!!!

Priya: okay now tell me... what happened.! Let me see what you did.!!

(I told her everything.... from our first meet till now.... she needs to get proper context man.!!!)

Priya: OH MY GOD.!!! Shanaya.!!! What is wrong with you.!!!

Shanaya: Me..??? What is wrong with me .?? Girl.... will you explain why you sounded so surprised.????

Priya: Okay.! So I am surprised as you are getting emotionally involved in this case.!! Also the things you did.!!! Of course he will call you all these things..!!!

Shanaya: Priya get to the point.!

Priya: Okay.! First you never do this to a guy who showed you his vulnerability.! That guy gave you his tears.! He gave you something that he never showed to anyone else.!!! And you used that to get his old self out.!! I know you wanted good out of it but girl that hurts.!
You messed up BIG TIME over there and as if that wasn't enough you said that he is just another assignment for you.!!! Girl you added more fuel to the fire there that you already lit.!!!

Shanaya: But dude this won't work.! If he starts behaving like that he will be targeted easily.! Also I have to be extra careful as his brand shoots and all starts from tomorrow.! Also the media and the rest of the world can't know that I am his bodyguard.! This is one of the clauses that Sr. Oberoi had kept when he gave this assignment to us.!! I even have to plan how should I be with him without being doubted as his bodyguard.!! So much is going on and this guy is now upset with me .!!!! Geez.!!!

Priya: Simple.!! Apologize to him.!!!

Shanaya: I do what now.?????

Priya: Apologize.!!

Shanaya: Priya.! I wasn't my mistake that he was expecting a bodyguard to be his friend.!! Why will I apologize.!!!! You have gone crazy.!

Priya: Shanaya you won't accept it but deep down even you know that you did wrong.! Also I am talking to Shan.! Not The Shanaya Shekhawat.!!!

(Aarrrgh..! I hate it.!! This card.! These people always play this card that always gets me.!!!)

Shanaya: I hate you.!!

Priya: I love you too babe.!!!! Also about how you will be with him without getting doubted as his bodyguard.!  I have an idea.!!! I know exactly what you have to do.!!

Shanaya: What..!!!!!!

Priya:..............................

( What she told me ...!  Shook me from inside.! Is she serious.! I mean I agree that will be perfect.! But how..!?? Me..!!! How will I be able to do that.??????? Shit shit shit.!!!!! That bitch.!! I will kill her next time when I see her..! And for that I have to take Manav's help..!!! God.!  Kill me.!!!! But I don't have much time.! It is dinner time.! I need to go have dinner and will tell Manav to meet me after that.!!
I went to the dining area and for some reason Sr. Oberoi is having a mysterious smile on his face.!! I have already deduced some of the possibilities.! I just need one more clue to confirm it.!! I went and sat opposite to Aditya and Manav as usual... the whole dinner was silent only clicking of spoons and plates.!! All of a sudden Sr. Oberoi asked looking at me..!!)

SO: Ready for tomorrow.?????

(The hell.!!! I knew it.!!!! He knows.!!!! That's why he was smiling.!!! I looked at him and he has shifted his eyes towards Aditya already..!!! Smart move.!!!)

Aditya: Yes Dad.!! I have to leave around 10 am.
(He said looking at me.!!! Yup he is not going to talk to me.! Man I so hate to do all this in Priya's way.! )

Shanaya: Alright I need to go.! I am done.!! Manav..... I have some security related concerns...... can you please come over to my room after dinner??

(I could see shocked faces of all three..! Well... I am talking to Manav nicely and calling him over to my room to discuss something.!!!! It is shocking.!!! At the same time he said..)

Manav: S.. Sure.!! I will be there.!

( I turned to leave and I could see Aditya whispering something in Manav's ear..!!! To which he gave a shocking what reaction.! I left and came to my room.! It's been more than half n hour I came from there... how long are they trying to eat.!!! After waiting for 15 more minutes I heard a knock on my room's door.. I opened and as expected found Manav standing there.. I called him in and closed the door....)

Manav: what do you want.!?

Shanaya: Your help.!

Manav: My help.??

Shanaya: Listen the thing is........

( I explained to him the detailed plan given by Priya and he started laughing.! I knew it..!)

Shanaya: Dude.! Help me.! We have to pull this off and I won't be able to do anything without your help..!!!

Manav: Oh man.! That was funny.!!! Okay okay.!  I will help you.! Just for Adi.!!! I will send someone to help you start everything and will be with you to discuss the details.!!!!

Shanaya: Phew.!! Okay.!!! I dunno how we will pull it.! But ya.!! Thanks bro.!

Manav: What did you just say.???

Shanaya: I know I know.!! Shocking.???? I said "Thanks" .??? Well but I really meant it.!!!

Manav: No .. not that... we will talk about this later.! No time to waste.! I will see you later tonight.! See you soon......

And that's all for this chapter.!

Can someone guess what did Priya ask Shanaya to do.!? What is her plan.? Why was Manav laughing after knowing the plan..?? Any guesses.?

Do you think this plan is to make Shanaya apologize or is it for something else?

Will Shanaya apologize?
