"Gift."

Sumedh's POV

We completed our dinner.

Mallika: Cadbury, tum jaa kar so jao. Mujhe office ka kaam hai, mai study room mai hu.

I don't want to sleep.

Sumedh: Angel, tum kaam kar lo. Mujhe abhi nahi sona. Mai baad mai so jaunga.

She rested her chin on her hands. I feel shy. She looks so pretty. I looked down.

Mallika: So na nahi to fir kya karna chahte ho bacha?

Sumedh: Angel, Mai yahi par baitha hu, thodi der mai sone chala jaunga. Abhi nahi sona.😗

Mallika: Okay bacha. Par jaldi so jana.

Sumedh: Theek hai Angel.

She stood up and pecked my forehead. I felt my cheeks burning with blush. She went.

After sometime

I am looking at her guards. I want to talk to someone. I saw Radhika di coming to me.

Radhika: Kya baat hai Sumedh? Kuch chaihye?

I nod.

Sumedh: Di, mujhe flowers chahiye 2 roses, kuch daises aur kuch baby-breath flowers.

Radhika: Theek hai Sumedh. Lekin tum inka kya karoge?

I looked down shyly.

Sumedh: Angel ko gift chahiye.

I mumbled.

Radhika: Uh uh. Theek hai.🌝

She teased me.

Sumedh: Di.😳

I whined. I am shy.

Radhika: Abhi laati hu.

She gave me a small smile and went.

Mallika's POV

I chuckled seeing my baby blushing. I turned my sight. My face becoming stoic and void of any emotion again. I gestured Krish to follow me and headed towards basement.

I saw that bastard who brought tears to my Cadbury's eyes. Only and only cause of this bastard my Cadbury suffered through a fucking panic attack. I just knew that they are horrible. I was freaked out seeing Cadbury crying. He was not able to breath. 

He was tied up and already beaten up by Krish and my other men. I pulled his hairs making him wince.

Mallika: Did you fucking thought you will get away after touching Dark Angel's Property?😡

I yelled. He shook his head vigorously. I smirked. I kicked him in the stomach after freeing him from the bounds. 

Mallika: Krish.

Krish: Yes Mam.

Mallika: What are we supposed to do with this disobedient brat who tried to hurt a innocent being?😏

I asked Krish mocking my guard named Neil. He handed me a cutter. 

Neil: Leave me please.

I gave Neil a merciless look.

Mallika: Do you think that I will leave you?😈

I asked with a wide creepy smile. He shook his head. 

Mallika: Very good.

I cut his finger with the cutter followed by ear piercing scream. I fisted his hair and banged his head against the wall till it started bleeding. I played with my toy for some more time till he was at the verge of death. I left him.

Mallika: Ye mar jaye to iski laash thikane laga dena.

Krish: Yes Mam.

I went in the study room. In the way, I saw Cadbury talking with Radhika. I felt something like strangling Radhika to her death. I felt anger. I felt my blood pressure rising. I shook my head. I came out of my thoughts. I can't fucking do that. Shit. What was I thinking.

I took my pen and started noting down the points.

Sumedh's POV

I chuckled listening to Radhika di. She is such a jolly and carefree person. Right now I am making a gajra for Angel. I don't know she will like it or not but what is wrong in trying. 

'May be I will embarrassed cause of this cheap gift.' 

My inner voice mocked me. My smile vanished. What if Angel didn't liked it? She is a millionaire or a billionaire. I don't know. She told me that she runs a company. She have a lot of money. 

What am I in front of her? I am nothing. 

Suddenly Di asked me question which made me shocked.

Radhika: Sumedh tumhare haath par jo nishaan hai vo kaise aaye the? Mera matlab jal gaya tha ya kaise?

I gulped. My eyes widened at the question panic started to rise in me. 

Radhika: Kya mai dekh sakti hu?😟

I quickly shook my head. How does she know about my arm? She could have seen it anywhere. Stupid me, I have not taken care.

Radhika: Tum mujhe jo chahe vo bata sakte ho. Mera matlab hai mai tumhe judge nahi karungi aur tum mujhe par vishvaas kar sakte ho. Shayad mai tumhari madad kar pau.

She said sounding concerned about it.

Sumedh: Di, mujhe galat mat samjhna par mai aap par trust kaise kar lu?

She was taken aback by my question.

The most important people in my life, betrayed and abused my trust.

Radhika: Mai baate samjhane mai jyada acchi nahi hu, isilye ye asana nahi hai lekin mai sirf tumhari madad karna chahti hu. Mera koi bura irada nahi Sumedh, Kasam se.

She genuinely said.

I bit my lip thinking if I should tell her or not. Her intention doesn't seem bad and I have really begun to consider her trustworthy but I need a little time.

Sumedh: Mai aapko samay aane par bataunga.☺

I gave her a small smile. A forced one.

I didn't realized when I was done with my work of making gajra for Angel while talking to di. I thanked her and wished her good night before keeping the gajra in the fridge to prevent the flowers from becoming dry. 

I went in the room and wrote my diary and ate my chocolate before going to sleep. My head is hurting because I cried too much today and even had a attack.

I sighed coming out of my thoughts. I heard the click sound of door opening. I saw Angel coming in. I smiled at her. She smiled back and came near me. She hugged me. 

I felt tingling sensations in my whole body. I love it when she touches me. I hugged her back hiding my face in her crook of neck. I inhaled her scent. She smells of roses. I felt her caressing my hairs. I smiled shyly.

I love this peace and comfort in her arms.

Mallika: Cadbury.

She said softly.

Sumedh: Hmm.

I removed my hands from her and sat beside her. I swayed my legs slowly looking at them.

Mallika: Abhi tak soye kyu nahi?

Sumedh: Sone hi jaa raha tha bas. 

She grabbed my chin and made me look at her. I gulped stopping my all works and my concentration only on her.

Mallika: Radhika ke saath kya baat kar rahe the? 

Sumedh: Mai kal bataunga.

I looked away.

Mallika: Abhi kyu nahi?

Sumedh: Nahi na.

I whined.

Mallika: Accha theek hai. Yaha aao.

We both sat down resting ourselves on the head board. She was hugging me. My head was on her shoulder and her hands were around me. I looked at her hands.

Sumedh: Angel tumhare haath.😮

Mallika: Hmm.

Sumedh: Kitne acche hai.

She has veins on her hands. Her knuckles. It is so good.

Mallika: Sirf acche hai?

Sumedh: Hm.

I didn't realize when I slept. 

~~~~~~

When I opened my eyes it was already 7 in the morning. I looked at Angel. She was looking so pretty. I realized we were laying in the same position as yesterday. It might have been so uncomfortable for her na. 

I removed my hands from her. She woke up because of my this action. Stupid me. I shouldn't have done that.

Sumedh: I am sorry. Meri vajah se tumhari neend kaharab ho gayi.

I looked down. I heard her yawning.

Mallika: It's okay Cadbury.

She went to get fresh. After some time she came out. Her hairs were wet. She probably washed her hairs. She is really looking like a Angel in wet hairs. I can't move my eyes away from her.

Mallika: Acchi lag rahi hu na?😏

She said suddenly breaking my trance.

Sumedh: Huh?

Mallika: Kaise lag rahi hu mai?

Sumedh: Pyaari lag rahi ho.❤️

I saw her. She was blushing. I made her blush? Yes. I smiled.

Mallika: Thank you Cadbury.😳

I nod and went to get fresh. I feel so good. Subah - Subah hi itna pyara cherha dekh liya. Kaafi accha lag raha hai.

I got fresh and came out. I saw her combing her hairs, tying them in a ponytail. The gajra. 

Sumedh: Angel. 

She looked at me.

Mallika: Kaho baby. Hesitate mat karo.

Sumedh: Apni aankhe band karo. mai 2 minute mai aaya.

Mallika: Jaldi aana.

She closed her eyes. I rushed down and brought the gajra.

Sumedh: Angel. Annkhe band rakhna.

Mallika: Hm.

Sumedh: Haath aage karo.

She forwarded her left hand. I tied the gajra on her hand.

Sumedh: Dheere - dheere aankhe kholo.

She slowly opened her eyes, obeying me. I feel nervous. My heart thumping against my chest. She liked it? Or not? 

She is staring at the gajra. Her face is expressionless. I think she didn't liked it. I should apologize.

Sumedh: Angel. Mujhe maaf kardo. Tumhe gift chahiye tha. Mere paas tumhe gift karne ke liye iske ilawa kuch nahi hai. I am sorry. Mujhe pehle hi samjh jana chahiye tha ki tumhe itna sasta gift accha nahi lagega. Mujhe-😔🥺

Mallika: Shut up.

I looked down. I can feel my eyes watering. I bit my lower lip.

Mallika: Apni taraf se kuch bhi soche jaa rahe ho? Mujhse pucha ki mujhe ye gift pasand aaya?

She scolded. I looked at her.

Mallika: Mujhe ye gift bahut pasand aaya hai Cadbury. Ye bahut pyara hai. Thank you.

She said softly engulfing me in a hug. I feel loss of words. I feel so much and nothing. I just rested myself on her inhaling her rose scent.

Mallika: Tum overthinker ho? Mujhe pata nahi tha.

She said. I snuggled into her neck.

She don't know even 1% of my problem. I smiled sadly. It's my responsibility to let her never know. 

She broke the hug. She put her palm on my cheek.

Mallika: Tum bahut khoobsurat lag rahe ho.

Khoobsurat? Mai khoobsurat hu? Ye kab hua?

Sumedh: Tum mazak kar rahi ho?

Mallika: Nahi. Kya keh rahe ho? Mai koi mazak nahi kar rahi. Tum khoobsurat ho. Sach mai.

Sumedh: Mazak hi to kar rahi ho.

I huffed. She was looking at me thinking something. I went towards the bed and sat there. She came near me and sat beside me.

Mallika: Idhar dekho.

She put her palm on my cheek. Her touch is so soft. 

Mallika: You never got praises? Isn't it?

I looked down. She is saying truth. Who will praise me? And Why? I am so much ugly. Who will accept me with this scar filled body? 

Mallika: Cadbury jo past mai hua vo bhul jao. Present par focus karo. Tum meri nazro mai bahut khoobsurat ho.

She tried to convince me.

How can I forget the past so easily? I can't. She is lying. The truth is I am ugly.

I nodded at her to not to make her feel bad. I gave a fake small smile.

Mallika: Niche chale? 

Sumedh: Tum jao, mai aata hu.

Mallika: Okay par jaldi aana.

I nod. She went. I waited for her to go. As soon as she left. I went and stood in front of the mirror. I looked at my face.

Sumedh: Angel ko mai khoobsurat kaha se laga?

I sighed. She is lying. I shook my head and went down. I suddenly bumped to someone. Stupid me. Why was I looking down? 

I felt something wet on my cheek. My eyes widened. I saw Angel. Her lips were pressed to my cheeks for 2 seconds. I feel shy. I moved away from her. 

She pulled me near her again.

Mallika: Meri kiss?

She is shameless. Guards and workers are present here.

Sumedh: Angel sab hai yaha par.😳

I said embarrassed. 

Mallika: So what? Mujhe abhi kiss do.

I looked here and there and saw no one looking in our direction. I pecked her cheek and moved back.

Sumedh: Ab to chodho.

Mallika: Itni jaldi kya hai? 😉

She winked at me making me shy.

Sumedh: Chodho na Angel.. bas..

She left me. I sighed. We had our food. And rest of day went like that.
