FARI
✨

His touch ignites a fire inside me which I cannot subside. I couldn't move a inch as I felt his lips on my neck. My brain said I need to move but my body didn't listen to me. It refused to move. It was reluctant. It behaved like it had a brain of its own. The brain of whose controls were with this man who was doing magic upon me.

I could only be thankful that the lights were dimmed. And no one could notice these stunts he was pulling out. I breathed heavily and tried to move aside but in one go he turned me around and my bossoms crashed into his hard chest. His fingers moved slightly on my waist and held a good amount of flesh squeezing me he pulled me even more closer if that was only possible and whispered in my ears.

'Dance with me!!!' and I narrowed my eyebrows saying...

'I don't know to dance!'

He smiled saying 'Just let your body loose and follow me! It's nothing!'. The way he said 'it was nothing', I wouldn't even mind if I would have to even jump into a pool of water right now. But then it suddenly striked me...

'Your walking stick?'

To which he slowly moved his huge palm on my cheek and slowly tucked a my stray hair behind my ears and whispered...

'I have you! I don't need any other support!' and that melted my heart. It felt so much more than just words to me. A ghost of smile appeared on my face and in no time the music changed to a fast pace one. He suddenly threw me on his arms bending my body backwards and I simply .....trusted him.

I didn't know to dance but somehow...I could trust him. Imagine...Trusting the man who played worst of the games with me and yet...here I am trusting him...

Why? I don't know! But my heart says he can't be the way he portrays to be. He twirled me around in circles holding my index finger and I giggled like a little girl while he smiled and just then I realised what a handsome hunk of a husband I have.

He took hold of both my hands and brought me closer taking a step closer to me when his musk cardomom fragrance hits my nose and I breathe in that fragrance till my lungs get familiar to it to NEVER forget it... EVER!

He slowly lifts me up while I squirm but she smiles saying...
'Trust me! You are safe!' and yet another time my heart simply agrees without a question.

He twirls me while still lifting me up in the air and then puts me down when I realise how close we were. My stomach...my breasts and then my face almost brush against him as he puts me down and I blush hard.

As my feet touches the ground I try to walk away but he holds onto my wrist and pulls me back only for me back to crash into his chest and I freeze the moment I feel his soft kiss on my hair and I smile and blush. The lights are no longer dimmed now and I turn crimson pink at his actions. I feel everyone's eyes on us when the room has a loud applause. I try to get off his hold and that's suddenly when from a certain distance we see shutterbugs clicking nonstop.

Gosh!!! Ever since the last incident I avoided media. I tried walking away but Alexander held my hand tightly and pulled me closer.

'Al.... Alexander!!!'

'Shhhhh!!!' he kept a finger on my lips.

'I want to introduce you as my legally wedded wife to the world! May I?' he asked and as much I wanted to say a NO because it means he would get an upper hand in this relationship...but then I wanted to keep away every other WOMAN from him.

No Neha...No Nisha! No one!!!

And like a little lost puppy I nodded. He smirked.

The next second he moved his huge palms to hold me be my waist securely claiming me as his and started walking towards the media crowd. His eyes were on mine and mine met his.

But suddenly on my way my eyes fell on Riya and Ray. They were standing in a corner and I could see Riya crying. Ray looked annoyed too.

Wait a minute! Are they fighting?

I couldn't stand there watching it all and asked Alexander to excuse me and I quickly went towards them.

✨

'Why dont you get it Riya! It's nothing! She's no one to me!!!' Ray yelled on top of his voice

'No one to you? And just another 'no one' is found in your room in a towel? And then I get to know that madam there is your ex girlfriend! How do you explain that Ray!!! On your wedding cocktail night...3 days before your wedding you are found with your ex in such a compromising position! And you say I don't get it??? Seriously Mr Ray D'Cruz!!!' I say and Ray rolls his eyes.

'DONT!!! just don't roll your eyes over me Ray. I have seen it all... change in your behaviour ever since the wedding dates are announced! What is it? Are you regretting it now? Or are you bored with me.'

'Riya stop acting like a quintessential housewife please! Your doubts make me sick'

'And your behaviour! You said you were on a business trip but then I found out you were with your college mates and this...this lizard of your ex was also along...what is it Ray D'Cruz! Tell me Ray...it's not too late ...Even I'm tired of this daily drama' Riya said and I was shocked seeing the way this was escalating.

'Why not!!! Ofcourse!!! Let's just end this right here... before marriage if you already behave like a nosy wife who doesn't have a bit of a trust on the man she's going to marry what the hell will she trust me in future. You know what Riya...maybe Uncle Al was always right...we were too early into this shit. We must rethink!' and he banged the door and left from there.

Riya literally broke down into tears. I wanted to console her, talk to her. But I also wanted someone to talk to Ray...

Alexander! Yes ...he's the only man who can talk to him. But then I also knew he was against this wedding.

But haven't you seen him changing. He has been slowly accepting this wedding. Yes!!! I think I must ask Alexander to talk to Ray.

I started dialling his number but he didn't pick my call, I quickly walked down the staircase trying to find him but he was seen nowhere. That's exactly when I saw Alexander climbing up the stairs alongside a girl. I was curious and I followed.

I saw them entering my room while I stood outside the room trying to see what was happening.

I noticed Alexander take out his bag and pull a cheque book and in no time he tore a cheque and offered it to her.

'50 lakh Rupees cheque and as you asked for an 3bhk fully furnished apartment will be ready the minute you will fly to Mumbai. I don't want to ever see your face. Never meet Ray again nor my family. Ray shouldn't know that I have these to you. I don't care if he thinks earth swallowed you or you vanished in thin air...I want you to leave this town right now. I don't want to see you here EVER again! And next time if I EVER see you in Goa or here in Mangalore...You know me...ABD is a bad bad man!!!' he said and she nodded and quietly left from there.

I was confused. Who is she and why did Alex give her such a huge amount!

I decided to follow her and then I saw her taking the staircase. I noticed at a distance Ray talking to her. I wanted to hear them talk...

'Its not your fault Tisha!!! It's just that Riya is so immature!'

'No Ray... please don't blame yourself...It's not your fault... maybe we were never destined to be together and after the way your fiance behaved with me...it makes me feel terrible staying here...you are my ex but then we are friends now...I don't know why she doesn't want to accept it... anyways...I'm no one to judge your rapport with her...but I'm sorry I can't stay here anymore. I have had enough. I'm leaving!!!'

'Tisha please... before we being in a relationship we were friends! You have to stay'

'I am sorry Ray...I don't know about you but I still love you...and it's best I don't attend your wedding. This is all so wrong!"

'Tishh' Ray mumbled with tears in his eyes.

'I am sorry' he said genuinely and she smiled and hugged him. In no time she left and the next minute I see an enraged Ray take a bottle of whisky and gulp it down.

And that's when it striked me.

Alexander plotted this girl to bring troubles in Ray and Riya's paradise.

How could he??? I thought he was changing but looks like everything was a lie. He's a cruel... heartless man!

Nevermind! If you think you can destroy their bond...I am here to revive it D'Cruz!
I won't let my sister and Ray suffer for his fake respect and his stupid class and society norms.

Two hooves to your dirty brains D'Cruz.
I will make sure to bring your true colors infront of Ray and Riya.
