I remained out of her way because I thought she deserves much better than me. But now when she had pulled me into this mess at the name of engagement I feel trapped and helpless. Sometimes holding on something forcefully makes your hands so much wounded that at the end you feel, it's better to let it go. Though everything was clear but was I ready for the day, when she would leave me all broken and entirely damaged. May be no. She will always be there blooming into my soul, even she would have been gone.

That night at the end feeling defeated I apologised to her. I never said sorry to any one. But here I could do anything for Dadi jan's happiness. I would like to die instead of giving her any pain. But Nandni murthy was in other mood. She was taking full advantage of my agitated condition. Obviously I was feeling embarrassed. When I wanted to leave asap Dadi Jan had other Cupid plans. She asked me to take Nandni with me.

But I couldn't take her with me when already one car was following me. It might be just imagination but my 6th sense was saying something suspicious was going on. I couldn't take her with me. Cause of my dad I already lost my mother. Now cause of me I didn't want her to be dead. She was so precious to loose. I threatened her, tried to do everything to stop her but grandmother was even more stubborn than me. So at the end I agreed to take her with me.

------------

"You shouldn't be delusional that I'm dying to go with you. It's just Dadi Jan. I couldn't refuse her....!" she said through gritted teeth and now I was feeling difficult to control my anger. Here I'm hell worried for her safety and she was busy into her own games. I glared at her but she lifted her chin up as if challenging me to speak carefully.

I closed my eyes for a moment to clear up my thoughts but nothing was working. Her presence and uncensored mouth was messing with my head. We both entered into elevator, but I couldn't control a smirk from appearing at my lips when she took farthest corner.

"You can give my handy back. No one seeing us so stop pretending to be a gentleman when you are not at all....!" as she finished my patience had crossed it's last limit. Suddenly her accusing words sent bursts of anger to every nerve of my body. Throwing her handy down, I pushed her into the wall of elevator. I think I needed to show her that what I can do to her. Her eyes widened a bit more as I lunged at her.

"I didn't forget that slap....!" I shouted while my both hands hit against the wall of elevator. Her golden brown eyes were seeming to spark with raw emotions. She never missed any chance to brought back that annoyance, I didn't want to feel. I feel so Unwanted, so useless. She never tried to think for once that I was also a human with a beating heart.

Whenever I try to take a step closer that may be I could remove some bitterness from her heart, every time she reminds me that I'm not worth of a single respectable word. She shows me that I'm nothing but just a monster. But sometimes deep down, even monsters also want to be loved by someone. I took a deep breath to control myself. At the moment I have other important things to look after. Someone was after me and there we both were clawing at each other like wild animals.

Without thinking I did exactly the opposite of what I wanted to do. I leaned my face closer to her. I wanted her to look into my eyes. For once I wanted her to recognise that lonely and scared person behind my ruthlessness. Every time I wanted her to pull me out from this suffocating wall, that have been built around my soul. But every time she pushes me back again in the frightening depths of darkness. She would never see my restlessness and my possession towards her. When she pushed me away I knew that neither she would feel my love for her ever nor I will try to show her anymore. I felt ting of my ridiculous and impulsive behaviour as she pushed me away and pressed the button of elevator.

"I...I forgot my folder into Dadi jan's room...!" Pulling her back I brought my lips at the level of her ear. She was trying her best to remain composed but l unintentionally was making it hard for her.

"Don't make me wait because I'm very impatient man....!" I whispered and for the first time I saw how her face changed the colour. That red tint at her cheeks showed that she definitely understood of that hidden message behind my words.

It was reality. If I would have been allowed to handle her my way, I had showed her that how finances behave around each other. But it wasn't right place and right time. So let it be for any other time. I will show her that her future husband might have some good expectations. She should aware, which havoc she had pushed herself into.
She pulled herself free and without taking one more look behind she ran out. I couldn't stop myself from chuckling at this little wild kitten.

As soon she left I realised that I had a lot on my plate to deal with and I was going to focus all my attention on it. So coming out, I called one driver from Malhotra mansion. I couldn't take risk to keep her with me.

As soon she came back I left the hospital. This time once again I saw a car behind us but as I took a sudden turn at small road I think they lost me. I didn't want any one to see who was with me and where she went. I was driving car into full speed. I wanted her to shift into other car asap.

"Why did you took this road instead of highway....!" in the silent darkness, her question made my body burn with eager anticipation. I could smell fear in her shaky words. And in one blink of eye forgetting all differences between us suddenly I felt protective. Driver was just at two minutes difference when I stopped the car at one isolated place into darkness.

"Don't worry I won't let you die into car crash....!" those words came out of my lips unknowingly but it was just my hundred percent solid promise. I won't let her die. Never. I could protect her over my life. I could feel her breaths deep and heavy. She was already scared And after telling her that may be someone was following us I didn't want her to die with panic attack.

I felt the more I wanted to keep her away, unintentionally she had started to get involved more into my activities. I remained silent for few moments to gather my courage and when I spoke it was in a controlled and stern voice.

"Get out of my car....!" I know I could plan anything good but I wasn't having much time so I did what I was pro at. Heartlessly I left her in the middle of the road, Pleading and screaming at me for not to leave her there. When she grabbed my arm for a moment I hated myself for behaving like a heartless brute. I thought to take her with me but then again I felt helpless.

I couldn't push her into this bloody mess. So I didn't leave her alone. I was waiting at the corner all the time keeping an eye at her. I remained there until my driver came and took her with him.

My world wasn't for her. Our rivals were thirsty of my blood. I don't know when I would be standing at front of my own death. In such evil games, a big target would be put on the person who would be more closer to my heart. More attachment, more pain and worst defeat. Just the thought of something bad happening to Nandni, drives me insane. So prying for her to reach her hostel safely, after waiting 15 minutes into my car I also left behind them.

Cause of my usual fast driving, I reached into my home before them. I just sat over couch and took just one sip of water when I listened a banging noise. It was really horrible. We all became shocked when we listened gate keeper shouting as well. Then there was continuously shattering sound like something was breaking into pieces.

Sahil bhaie was the first one who ran out to see that what was happening. Then all followed him, including me. I just listened their gasps when I came at front. I felt my eyes almost fell out of their sockets when I saw my car into most horrible condition.

My tigress have attacked my car, breaking every single window of my car. She wasn't hesitate to tell me that why she destroyed my lovely baby. There was something wild and scary about those eyes.

After my engagement night it was first time my all cousins were smirking and chuckling. They were really happy. Stupid idiots. They never know when and who's team they should be. Glaring at all of them I warned them to keep their mouths shut. Here my car have been broken into pieces and they were enjoying at my cost.

Before leaving and giving one more scratch she didn't forget to remind me that be ready for not having money for next three months. OMG I had completely forgotten about Dadi jan's warning.

I wanted to bang my head into any wall. Why my stars were circulating into worst direction. I kept standing at my spot, completely frozen dead. At the verge of crying and seeing my broken poor car. This was the price she gave me to protect her. It would have been better if with my own hands I had given her to my bloody chasers.

----------

The day sitting in cafe when one of my class fellow asked her for going with him on date, despite of cold day I felt I was burning from inside and out. How dare he ask her out and that too at front of me. I wanted him to leave asap, before I lose my temper. Blazes of loathing and anger started rising inside of my chest. Dark smoke was engulfing my senses like, I couldn't even explain in words.

She turned her gaze towards me. Her eyes were telling something I couldn't read into them but about one thing I was sure that I wanted her to refuse him. For once I wanted her to tell the whole world proudly that I was her fiancé. But when she didn't even mention our engagement I was forced to think she didn't even like her name to get attached with mine. She wanted to keep it hidden. Damn she knew those hidden ways deep into my soul, where she can slip past my guards enough to destroy my all self control.

Looking at her determined expressions, I could clearly tell she could do anything to put me on place. She was ready to say yes. I wanted to warn her that answer wisely. Her bright, deep and piercing eyes were glaring back at me. I knew from the first day if I allowed her to enter into my life as my fiancé, I would never be able to break free from this engagement. It was in my nature to be possessive about everything, which belongs to me. But at the same time, it was last thing that I wanted to make her entrapped with me. Ishan's anger filled voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

That boy was stubborn and when he kept arguing with Ishan that he wouldn't stop until Nandni say yes, I had decided one thing that he going to face me later. But at the moment I wanted him to get the hell out of my sight. When Ishan Rohan Nandni and that dump shit were busy into each other I signalled my two friends sitting at front of me. And I was really proud of them for being mine besties as both stood up and drag that boy out of cafe. Rest of the day I waited impatiently so that I could talk to him personally.

After finishing my classes, it just took 2 minutes to find out where was that boy. Within next just one minute I swung open the door of the classroom where he was sitting alone. Looking at me, his expressions dropped. My eyes were digging holes into him when he was silently assessing me. His face was solemn.

"We need to talk....!" I said in very calm tone. We both stood in silence for a moment. The air was thick with tension. He kept waiting silently for the main point, why was I here.

"Stay away from Nandni murthy....!" I thought my those words would be enough to make him understand that don't act like a fool but he proved me wrong. He was much more than just a fool.

"And if I say mind your own business then....?" he said so casually that now my palms started itching.

"It's hundred percent my business....!" in the blink of eye, I was holding his collar into my tight fists. My jaw was clenched tightly and I'm sure my eyes were getting red with anger. I could see his expressions suddenly changed. Now he was scared. Good.

"W..why do you suddenly care that who is asking her out....!" his voice was shaking but I could see into his eyes that he won't understand easily. Now I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell the real reason why I had been here fighting over a girl business. But at other hand if he challenged my right over her then I will give him a complete peace of mind.

"Because she's mine....!" as soon I finished, he pushed me back with a forceful hit against my chest. Now I couldn't control my anger any more. I wasn't here to beat him to plump but he himself invited it. So uncontrollably I raised my hand and hard punch knocked the air out of his system. After that I don't know how much I made the damage until he begged for forgiveness.

"Stay away from her otherwise next time I will kill you....!" I warned before storming out of that class room.

Whole day I remained out with my friends. They placed the bet that who will loose the car race at most dangerous rough road, will pay for the next college trip of whole group. Running car at that road was simply like to do suicide. But if you never faced the danger, then you are not a man. So I participated in race. Me and two more expert drivers.

During race, I hit my car at few corners and had few bruises here and there but at the end I won. You can't imagine those feelings when you think that it might be last moment of your life but at the end you ditch your death and come out alive. You love your next breaths for whole life more possessively because you pulled them back from the mouth of your death.

When I came back all were in their rooms except Aanya. She was sitting in TV lounge. I went and sat besides her. It's long time we didn't sit together and shared our all ups and downs of lives.

"Hello cupcake. How was your day....!" I asked while munching popcorn from the bowl in her lap. She gave me such sweetest smile that any one can forget all the pain of cruel life.

"I'm good. How's my brother....!" she asked while switching off the TV. I chuckled darkly. I tried to sound ok but couldn't hide that bitterness in my tone.

"Still alive. Means I'm fine....!" I mumbled while looking ahead aimlessly. When she didn't say more I looked back towards her and she was staring at me like trying to hide some deep secrets behind those beautiful eyes. I waited for her to say whatever she was holding herself back from saying. Wrapping her both arms around my bicep she placed her head over my shoulder. She remained silent but then she mumbled something really unexpected.

"She never loved Sameer. He was her just a good friend.....!" her words hit me really hard. I felt my heart hammering against my chest. I kept sitting dead. I was probably too shocked to think straight.

"W..what are you saying....!" my voice was low but goosebumps were raising at my whole body. Then she smiled. There was a strange sadness in her each gesture.

"Nandni. I'm talking about Nandni. And about Abhi, if she wouldn't have said yes then her father had thrown her into anyone else' life.....!" in my whole life it was third time I got a heart-stopping shock. Once the day I woke up and mom was gone. Second when I got to know Nandni was marrying Abhi, and now when I was feeling like something sharp was slicing through my soul.

This shock wasn't to flutter my heart for a moment and then it was fine. No. This shock was like all strength have been sucked out. I refrained from looking at her or displaying my restlessness. Taking a deep sigh I shifted my eyes away from hers.

"W...hy are you telling me this....!" I kept looking at the front wall. Once again she remained silent but I could feel her eyes continuously looking at me. When I looked back, amusement was reflecting from her concerning features.

"Because I know the pain you are going through. Because I want to tell you that she is the most innocent girl. Because I want to tell you that she had pure likeness towards Sameer but it was just friendly way. Nothing more.....!" unable to function from first blast, once again her words put me into paralysed condition. She knew everything. Was my devastation this much obvious.

"You still have time. Win her heart before she left you behind and she will be moved on....!" saying those heavy words she left me crushed under my own battles. For next half hour I kept sitting there like I was in some illusion. Her words kept bouncing around in my head. Disbelief, anger and frustration I kept fighting against these all feelings.

You need to give a chance to this relation, my subconscious stated. May be Aanya was right I should do something before she left me forever. That girl had possessed my mind the moment I had set my eyes on her. Though she irritates me so much but I was proud of her fierce personality. Suddenly I wanted to see her. I wondered how she would be doing right now. Closing my eyes, I let her invade my thoughts. Just thinking about her, my heartbeat increased. Moving my fingers desperately into my hairs I stood up and left from there.

I needed any distraction. So taking my car out of gate I just stopped near the side walk. I pulled my mobile out of my pocket to call my one friend. The bell was ringing but before he picked my call I listened a gun-shot at some distance. I disconnected the call and became alert. Guard and gate keeper also ran towards my car.

"Manik sir come inside....!" they asked me while pulling their guns out. As my eyes shifted at blurry view of a girl running exactly in my direction. I picked passenger seat up and pulled my hidden gun out as well.

"Close the main door of the house. No one should come out....!" I ordered to my gate keeper. Someone fired at that girl and her screams echoed in the dark street. As she came more closer my heart started pounding and my breathing became laboured when I noticed who was that girl. I opened the door of my car and started running towards her. Guards tried to stop me but not now when someone at front of my eyes, was trying to kill my girl.

I kept running towards her when next fire hit the street light and I couldn't see her anymore. I fisted my hands into tight fists, anxiety and dread unfurled in the pit of my stomach. At the same time there were so many gun shots. Few from that killer and few from my guards. Her each scream was just tearing me apart. Stopping closer to her I found her fallen on the ground. I pulled her behind the nearest wall while my guards also had hid at different places.

"Manik....!" she breathed deeply as I stepped further closer to her and now she could make out every contour of my face. When she noticed it was me, I felt that relief in her voice. When my mother was killed, I vowed that a woman would never take place in my life and once again I did that mistake. She had become another pawn into this dirtiest blood game.

Slipping my hand into her hairs I pressed her face into my chest. I didn't want her to see anything. Because the way she was trembling and sobbing, I knew she won't be able to bear it any more. She was so fragile to face all this.

-------------

That night throwing my head back against headrest of one sofa in living room, I was fighting against all the frustration. What was I supposed to do. How a beast like me had that fairy into my life and prevent my tainted world from touching her. I was celebrating my own defeat, when I listened soft steps going towards kitchen. The way she drank water and her face was sweating, surely she had a nightmare. She was already emotionally disturbed. How I could even think to keep her with me when she was already suffering without any mistake. I went towards her to see, if she was ok.

"you are the reason of my nightmares....!"
"After getting engaged to you, I'm getting attacked...!"
"Being your fiancé, now your all enemies are behind me...!"
Those words I was feeling scared to think about, she said out loud.

She was right. If her life was in danger it was just cause of me. If she wouldn't have engaged to me, she hadn't been a target. That night once again I felt like I was buried under layers of danger and darkness. That night if I hadn't reached on time, she would have been dead. One dreadful moment of reality hit me really bad.

She was a distraction and cause of her presence in my life made the pain begin to fade away. For a moment I thought that may be I could have chance to chase and win my love. I thought may be I could have a chance to feel happy. But no. I had lost this war of love already.

By giving us a chance , may be I could earn her trust and devotion but I couldn't. I love her so damn much to walk into her life and screw everything. The last thing I wanted to protect that one thing which was so pure, so precious in my life. If she remained in my life, she would be my weak point and if my rivals knew about her, they can easily use her to bring me down. It was only matter of time until Nandni would be a main target for them. Did I want to let anything happen to her. No, not until I'm alive.

That night she slept into my blanket and her sweet scent is still lingering into it. It reminds me of the night when once again I lost her. When she said I was reason of her every problem, I was hurt but it was the most bitter truth. And I didn't show that I already had accepted the truthfulness of this abandoned relation. The nearer I drew to the next morning, the more I felt the impossibility of going to sleep on such horrible night. When my whole system failed to think further I came to a final decision.

I promised to myself that everything will be the same as it was. I will be nothing but a heartless monster for her, and I will make sure she just keep hating me. I will happily let her go forever. Yeah happily. She calls me a monster and perhaps monsters don't deserve to be heroes of fairy tales.

I didn't want to tell any one that why I left her at dark road but it was Ishan who listened me while talking to driver. I know she was so angry at me and it was a good thing. Every day she was taking a step closer to hate me even more. But to my bad luck Ishan told papa at front of every one that someone was spying on us. I know I saw regret in her eyes for breaking my car but nothing more. From her, I can only earn revenge, hatred, anger, and at the end of my devastation she can show some mercy and guilt. But I know, I can never earn any feelings of some love or attachment from her.

Same day When Elina came back and she hugged me, I noticed how Nandni was twisting her engagement ring. She wasn't happy. But may be she can't feel the pain, I felt after knowing she was going to marry someone else. What I feel for her wasn't just attraction or a simple pull. It was madness of obsession. During these years, every day I fell in love with her so irrevocably that now there's no turning back.

Sitting at sofa Elina also joined me. I felt sick by the thought of having another girl around me when she was standing at front of my eyes. All the time nandni's eyes were stuck where Elina was holding my arm. Whenever I think that she can't be part of my life, I feel there is an open bleeding wound in my chest but I don't know it will be healed. I struggle every day with myself to forget everything and tell her that how much I love her. But for my happiness, it would be just my selfishness to put her life into danger. I wasn't ready to lose one more person whom I love more than anything else in this world. I might look like a coward and fool but my love is enough strong to let her go.

I know my family doesn't like Elina at all but they never became hurdle between us. But the way Ishan disclosed my engagement at front of Elina, I was feeling it was wrong. This wasn't a way to break a relationship. I know I tried to move on with Elina's one sided love but I would never play with her feelings. Though Elina never showed but somehow she knew that, what Nandni have a place in my life.

Elina don't annoy me like Nandni do, she don't give me headaches with her stubbornness like Nandni. If Elina was attractive then Nandni have natural beauty. If Elina in my life was like peaceful and clear water, Nandni was a passion running like a fire inside of me. Elina was a little boring but bold and confident. At the other hand Nandni was innocent yet feisty, attractive but down to earth. If Elina had perfect happy life Nandni and me had equally damaged past. There was no comparison between both of them. Clearly Nandni was that storm which was pulling me inside of it uncontrollably.

--------------

Pulling Elina inside of my room I closed the door behind me. I realized then that I couldn't do it with Elina. She deserves a proper closure from thus relation. I love Nandni but living with Elina with those hidden feelings inside of me was cheating at both sides. I just couldn't do it anymore. So I explained everything to Elina that now I was engaged to Nandni. I apologised even when I knew not a single word would be enough to pay for the pain Elina will go through. I know soon Nandni won't with me but until my name is attached to her I can't be with Elina.

"Do you love her....?" Elina asked me. Her words felt so heavy that I felt my heart had been crushed under them. I turned my back towards her. Neither I could say yes nor I could deny those pure feelings. I didn't want to lie.

"I can't love her. I will make sure, she hates me so much that soon she herself would be out of my life......!" I mumbled, as I was lost into my own devastated world. My own words felt like salt on a raw wound. I never wanted to say my those horrible thoughts out loud but I regretted when I saw a glimpse of hope at Elina's face.

In start I told her that our relation won't be like where she should start dreaming about a happily ever after. She knew it that this wasn't any long term relation among us. After finishing her college she will go back America to live with her parents and I will live here. But she was still happy with these temporary arrangements. But now I don't want to bear this burden anymore. I can't. She came downstairs crying. She called me cheater. I thought without creating any drama she will try to understand me but no. Exactly was happening what I was afraid of.

------------

When Elina was saying all nasty things about Nandni I warned her that if she didn't stop, I will handle her my own way. But she didn't care. She said it doesn't matter if I'm engaged to Nandni. In simple words she wanted me to keep the engagement and an outdoor affair with her as well. She didn't care if it was most stupid thing she was offering. She wasn't even caring about her self respect. I might be harsh and so unfair towards Nandni but I couldn't be this cruel to be with Elina when I was engaged to her. I would never do this to her. My girl don't deserve this. I would be as loyal in love as she was into her hatred towards me.

With every passing day, she was becoming my obsession. My selfish side wanted to keep her and claim her as mine forever. But I knew it that it will be just a matter of days before our rivals will reach out for Nandni. I had to do something fast to make sure she was out of my life and safe. When they will see, Malhotra's have nothing to with her, they will stop chasing her.

Since the day I decided to break engagement, I did everything to see that hateful gaze into nandni's those most beautiful eyes. I proved that I don't care about anything. I knew if there won't be any threads linked to our hearts, it would be easy to let each other go. And see how we are standing at such point, where she hates me and I'm as heartless monster as she thought. Now she will leave me happily and without any regret I will send her away from every pain and tears. I felt sick to my stomach at what I was planning to do. But I didn't find any other way because sometimes life doesn't give you many options.

---------------

I loved the way sometimes she behaves around me. For a moment I feel most happiest and lucky person when I don't see hatred into her eyes. When my presence don't make her frightened. That morning was also from those some lucky times. She stolen my breakfast. I loved and cherished everything, later she made for me. But she proved me that she don't take orders easily. So for punishment she made a tea full of salt. I took first sip, and felt like there cant be any more bitter thing in this world. I screamed her name in anger but her giggles made my day more brighter and happier. Shaking my head I smiled. She was happy at her victory. I wish she could make breakfast for me every day. Doesn't matter, if there is sugar or salt into tea.

After sitting aimlessly for few minutes I stood up and made one more cup of tea for me. I went into study room. After arranging my one assignment I took print out. After arranging into one folder, I came towards kitchen to clean it but voice of one other girl besides Nandni stopped me. I turned over my heals to go back when something stopped me. I got a most shocking news that there was a boy named Arjun. Wao, now just he was left to be added into my hate list.

"How can I forget the only person who asked me to be his girlfriend....!" nandni giggled, but her words hit my heart like those were daggers dipped into poison. How many times, I have to bear the pain that there was someone else, more closer to her heart and more better than me. I felt sudden happiness into her voice. A strange annoyance brought a storm of randomly crazy thoughts. I wish, she wasn't so beautiful, pure and attractive, then may be she couldn't have so many stupid admirers. Shaking my head to throw my freaking thoughts away, I entered into kitchen.

"He sent the love letter for you....!" Riya went towards her to give a folded paper. My fingers twitched to reach and tear that paper into pieces and then burn it. Both jerked their heads towards me when spoon slipped from my restlessly twitching fingers and fell at floor. I felt my throat was getting dry and strange tightness into my chest. I felt urge to drink cold water to calm my nerves. So taking bottle from fridge, all determined to see her latter, I left.

I kept pacing impatiently into study room, wandering regarding that boy Arjun. I couldn't sit peacefully the whole time Nandni remained in kitchen with her friend. Who the hell is this Arjun, curiosity was eating me raw.
My impulsive side urged to know what was between that idiot and Nandni. Was she anyway still affected by him, because as much I noticed she was really happy while talking about his damn gorgeous eyes. What might be special into anyone's eyes. Eyes are just eyes. I also have eyes. Even our dogs at form house also have eyes. Gorgeous eyes my foot.

I fisted my palms and every second was passing like years. As soon her friend left I couldn't hold myself anymore. So taking deep breath I went to know about now this new jerk. All the way towards kitchen, I rubbed my forehead and temples to soothe the rush of blood into my veins.

Recalling that whenever I tried to ask angrily she behaved more stubborn. So I tried to behave properly but I think its impossible. Because where we both would be together, our completely opposite powers always will clash. I entered into kitchen, still trying my best to regain my composure even when it wasn't easy regarding the fact that she have one more lover with world's most gorgeous eyes.

Staring at her washing dishes, I could bet that she was fully aware about my presence but she remained busy into her work. I went towards her but tried to keep much distance. I didn't want to be closer when my head wasn't working properly.

"Who's Arjun....?" I tried to keep my voice normal but I couldn't control desperation which was radiating from my eyes. Her brows slightly furrowed before she settled her glare towards me. But to my surprise she picked that piece of trash, I mean shit-love letter and was going to leave from kitchen. No way. How I could let her go without getting my answers. I wanted to know who was this Mr freaking Arjun. How he dare to ask her for one more chance when every one knew she was my fiancé. As she was going to pass by me I clutched her elbow and pulled back towards me. Feeling struggle into her actions I wrapped my both arms around her waist and kept her as closer as I could. If she can't answer nicely then I will have my own ways to handle her.

"Who's this Arjun...?" I asked staring down at her, clearly loving the uncomfortable state I put her into. I knew, I stood way too closer. So placing her palms against my chest, she made sure to use them to create a rift between our pressed bodies. More she struggled, more I pulled her closer. If my closeness was making her thoughts hazy, then my question didn't put her at ease either. Pushing her nervousness behind, she took bold step to look up straight into my eyes. Yeah now my kitten was ready to jump into wild action.

"Were you spying on us....!" aha, nice try to change the topic by playing game in reverse mode. Her voice wasn't as harsh as I was expecting. Doing exactly opposite of what should be done, I leaned forward and she had to immediately lean backwards. Infect she seemed little nervous. If by asking continuous questions about Arjun I tried to intimidate her, then her next word just proved that my no threat was going to affect her.

"It's none of your business that who was or who is in my life....!" she explained daringly. She looked into my eyes like wanted me to understand that she meant every word that came out of her mouth. Her words actually was hurting me. She came outside and went to sit near the window in living room.

Dammit. Why she is so stubborn. I muttered few angry curses under my breath before stalking outside to get my answer. If she thought I would leave this matter easily then she was highly mistaken. So I did everything in my power I could do but she didn't tell.

Ok fine if she didnt want to tell me. Fine. I will find out myself. She would be responsible fir consequences. But one thing was sure, I wont let her read that letter. So Snatching that paper from her hand I left from there. I wanted to tear this paper into thousands pieces but when I opened it, I forgot how to walk, infect how to breath.

WHAT THE HELL. That drawing and writing felt like it was made by a kid. Then realisation came crushing down over my senses. My goodness. That letter felt like a back-handed slap. I felt like an idiot and embarrassed. But at the same time I was happy. It was a kid. Shit.

Snatching that paper from my hand she left me there smirking at my own stupidity. In the middle of the stairs the way she threatened to break my hands if I touched her things, she proved that she was my queen. Queen of my heart. But no promise about touching, because it wasn't in my control. I don't know how long I kept sitting there smiling like a fool when papa entered into living room. But real shock I got when I saw two police officers behind him.

When papa explained why was they here, I knew who called them here. There were just three persons who knew the truth. If me or Sameer didn't call them, there was just one person who might do this. Once more she proved that I was nothing but just a puppet. Once again neither she asked before taking such huge decision not papa informed me.

"Send Sameer into study room....!" papa stated angrily. His eyes were glaring at me like wanted to warn me that stay away from this matter. He clearly told me that now everything was in his hands. My every sacrifice to secure the future of my brother and to safe him from this blame of a murder, all went into vein. Just cause of her.

--------------

When papa asked me that I shouldn't break the engagement I really be she angry. Everything was being messed up. Nothing was happening as I had planned. So whatever I said, it was just to convince my father that I don't want to live with her. She have become my weakness. Why can't he understand that our enemies can use her against me. I will die if I let her to be destroyed at front of my eyes. But I never thought in my wildest dreams that outside of my room, she was listening all bitter things I was saying about her. I wanted to send her away but not like this. Not after crushing her dignity and doubting her values.

The hurt I saw in her teary eyes when papa opened the door gutted me. I always made sure that anyone who will trouble her, should suffer by my hands but today I was the one who was hurting her the most. Her teary eyes were piercing through mine. Her golden brown eyes were staring back at me with shock and devastation. Was she crying because I wanted to break our engagement or for the embarrassment I was causing her. It was just my imaginations or was she also as hurt as I was for pushing her away from me.

Leaving me there all broken and shattered she ran away. My body felt like she took my soul out of me with her. It wasn't hard to realise that now I might get ride of her. Then why it was paining so hard. Why my heart leaped to my throat while thinking about her teary eyes. Pushing her away was the hardest thing I ever did but that was the only thing I could do for her happiness and safety.
