"Our mouths collided with each other perfectly and savouring our reunion. I don't know how much time has passed and we're in our world kissing each other as fresh air."

******************************************

I can't believe that he's right here, kissing the hell out of me. I was out of breath and pulled away from him. He let out a small groan and started pepper kissing my neck and rested his face over there. We both didn't speak anything and held each other as our life depends on this.

Finally, we looked into each other and he looks like hell. Huge eye bags are clearly visible and I bet, he has been drinking and smoking a lot. I get a faint smell of it. I narrowed my eyes at him and he raised his eyebrows glancing at me back.

But I still glared at him.

"What?... Why are looking at me like that?" He asked me as if I was crazy glancing at him. I rolled my eyes at him and asked,

"Have you been drinking and smoking for the past few days?" I questioned and gave a daring look to deny it.

He knew that he can't win it so he gave up telling me his answer.

"baby, Yes... I have been drinking and... hmm smoking. I just wanted to forget the present things, It was like hell not able to contact you. I think to keep me sane... I had a few drinks." He said to me.

"Just a few drinks?" I narrowed my eyes at him. 

"Fuck.....okay, I was completely wasted." He said and I let out a huge sigh. I was about to give him a lecture but his tummy grumbled.

I looked at him, his cheeks started to get red. By watching that I giggled and was about tease him but he flipped us so that he is on top of me.

He buried his face in the crook of my neck but I could feel him smile.

"Come on, Big boy let's get something to eat for you," I said and pushed him off my body.

I quickly look for my t-shirt but couldn't find it. So I opened my wardrobe and put on a t-shirt. A pair of arms wrapped around and pulled me to his chest.

I stood shocked but relaxed as I felt safe in his arms. We stood like this for a few minutes enjoying each other presence but we heard the door knocking bursting our bubble.

I started to panic and pushed him down to hide under my bed but my attempt was futile. He is much stronger than me and wouldn't budge.

" What the hell Mrithun? Get under the bed!" I whisper yelled at him but he went straight to the door ignoring me and opened it.

I can't even move. What if it is mom or dad? I quickly closed my eyes. Waiting for the wrath of my parents but nothing happened.

Someone cupped my face and made me look at them.

"Baby, open your eyes. It's just us." I heard Mrithun. I slowly opened my eyes to see my sisters, Tarun and two other people.

I'm so confused about what the hell is going on.

" Mrithun? Who are those guys? How in the world did you all sneak in?" I questioned him.

He just smirked and said, " I have my ways, baby girl." Then kissed my cheeks making me blush.

" God, I so missed this blush." He started to place sloppy kisses. It felt so so good. I can't help but moan at his torture.

" Guys? We understand that you both are in so love and those shits. But we are not here to watch this and if I need to see a porno I have.." One of the guys started to say but was quickly smacked by my sister Shakthi.

"Ow, women are you crazy?" That guy whisper yelled but was snapped by her again.

" Don't you dare talk those shit in front of us and not in my house. And think your words before speaking." Shakthi glared at him. I'm so confused right now.

" That's my best friend Karan and the other one is his brother Karthik. We are practically family." Mrithun explained to me.

" Yeah, we are family and that's why we are here. Sorry to disturb you people but it's kind of what we need to do, cause this one over there beside you was going insane and we can't stand there and watch our brother suffering," Karthik said to me with a polite smile.

" Sorry, we couldn't be here when they came here to see you. We kinda got busy but here we are now! You are really beautiful and I don't know how the hell did you accept this shit as your husband." Karan said while shaking his head at Mrithun.

I giggled at what he said and this caused my baby to glare at me. Suddenly I remembered that he was hungry.

" You wait here. I will make some Maggi noodles for everyone. You guys want some?" I asked them but they all refused. Instead, they asked me to get a Juice bottle.

I smiled at them and asked Shakthi to accompany me so that she could take the juice for them. I slowly lit up the gas stove and placed a pan.

I felt Mrithun come behind me.

" I asked you to stay in the room. What if anyone sees us?" I kept my voice low.

" Let them see. I don't care." He said and wrapped his arms around me tightly. I can't even move.

" Mrithun, leave me. I can't even move." I asked him and he loosened his grip but kept me in place.

I feel like I'm gonna have a panic attack because the chance of getting caught is high but it's also thrilling with him beside me. How has my life changed within a month?

I slightly turned around and place a small kiss on his cheeks. He smiles at me like a small boy. It feels so right to be in his arms.

I quickly made those instant noodles and transfer them onto a big bowl enough for us. It's been a while since I had a proper meal. Once he is with me, I can feel everything goes back to normal.

" Do you want some ketchup?" I asked him and he hummed in response.

" Good that you like the noodles and ketchup combination. Otherwise, I would have rejected you." I playfully said to him while placing it near the bowl.

Suddenly, he backed me against the counter and stood in between my legs. He looked so hot and handsome. God, with his stumble he looks even sexier. When I looked into his eyes my breath caught.

" Even if I don't like it you have no choice but marry me, baby girl. You are mine! Understood?" He whispered near my ears making me feel so hot and raise goosebumps.

God, that stupid know his effect on me so he kept smiling like a crazy man. He gripped my hip and grind it with his. I could feel his friend starting to grow. He groans a little and places his forehead on mine.

" Let's move to your room before I take you against this fucking counter baby." He said and distance himself while adjusting his pants.

I composed myself and got a fork. With that, we both tiptoed to my room and closed the door but then stopped when Tarun said,

" No, don't close it is. So that we could hear when someone comes. Thank God, your parent's room are on the ground floor."

I smiled at him and ruffled his head. He glared at me but I giggled at him. When I reached my bed Mrithun took the bowl out of my hand and place it on the table. Then he pulled me on to him and place me on his lap and covering us with my blanket.

" Now, feed me. I'm hungry." He whispered and I blushed at his actions.

When I looked around and they all had a smug look. But ignored us and resumed whatever they were doing. I took the bowl and started to feed him.

" Hmm... This is different from usual. What did you add on this?" He asked with his mouthful while I glared at him.

" Don't talk while your mouth is full. You might choke on your food." I said and he smirked at me.

" I don't mind being chocked by you baby." He said and it took me a min to understand the meaning. I jabbed his side and he lets out a small chuckle.

We both feed each other and were talking about everything and anything but we completely avoided the topic of what happened after I reached home.

" It's getting late man almost 3 in the morning! We need to move before someone notices us." Karan said to Mrithun.

I was half laid over his body and he has an arm around me holding me close. I looked at him from his chest.

" Okay, wait outside I will be there soon. Girls go to your room and Shakthi can you please be in their room for a few minutes? I need to talk to her." Mrithun asked them and they nodded.

" It's good to finally meet you. We will see you soon. Take care ma." Karan anna said to me.

" Yes, I will anna. You also take care and this idiot on behalf of me." I grinned at him and he did the same and assured me. With that, they gave us our space.

" I don't want to ask about what has happened after you guys left. No matter what I'm here for you. I will ask your parents myself. Don't worry baby. I love you... I love you so much." Mrithun said to me.

I started to cry again. I'm little surprised that I even have tears left in my eyes. He wiped my tears and placed kisses all over my face.

" I love you so much Mrithun. Marry me soon with our parent's blessing." I whispered near his lips.

He promised me by pulling me into a deep kiss. Each time I kiss him, it was like the first kiss we had. He is my drug and I'm his. We can't be without each other.

He hugged and held me in his arms. Then pulled away from me. His hands go around my knees and lifted me in bridal style. I squealed at his gesture and this made him laugh. He places me on the bed and tugged in.

" Goodnight love. Sleep peacefully. I love you." He said and kissed me one last time and pecked my forehead lovingly.

I pulled his face to me and kissed him all over his face and finally placed a long kiss above his heart.

" I love you. No drinking and smoking. Understood?" I said sternly to him.

He chuckled and said, " Yes, Mam. Now off to sleep." He caressed my hair and placed a forehead kiss. With that my eyes drooped.

I know he would reach home safely. I felt so better after seeing him and with that thought, I fell into a deep slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next day

"Oofo...what happened to these girls? It's already 10 am and they are still sleeping. What am I gonna do with these people?" I heard my mom mumbling to herself.

I ignored her and snuggled into my blanket. But it was yanked away and here goes my peaceful sleep.

I haven't talked to anyone except my sisters. I avoided everyone. Both my dad and uncles were against this marriage. I mean they were the ones to fix this arrangement and now they don't want me to marry him.

~flashback~

We soon reached our home and none of us spoke anything. Dad and uncles look pissed. I tried my best to ignore them and made my way up to my room but was stopped by my grandma.

"Shristi? Why would you let him kiss you? That too in front of everyone? Are not ashamed?" She asked me.

I stood there in my place and I replied nothing. Whatever I speak right now is no use.

" Kanna? Do you love him?" Dad asked me in a comforting voice.

" Yes, Appa. ( means 'dad' in Tamil) I love him. I don't know how and when but I think I loved him since the moment we met at Nisha's wedding. He shared all his past, dark secret, the things he regrets doing, everything dad. We both had this pull for each other and I know one thing for sure 'No matter what, he is the one for me' He has been through a lot dad and please don't push him away. I can't lose him." I pleaded with my parents and elders with tears pooling in my eyes.

They looked at me with shocked and don't know how to deal with this. They don't like me crying for anything and I know it breaks their heart to see me like this.

" It's just infatuation that you have with him. You will overcome it and you are so important to our family. we don't want to lose you for anything. It will be for the best Kanna. Believe in us." Grandma said to me.

But I stood on my ground. I can't help but scoff at them.

" you know nothing about how we feel. Please... you are the one who bought this alliance and now after all this, you are separating us. It was just a stupid fucking horoscope! It might not even be true. Even if it's true, I'm ready to die with him and  marrying him is the last thing I do!" I yelled and snapped at them.

My mom looked furious and slapped me across my face. I held my cheeks and looked at her in shock. She never raised her hand at us.

" Is this how you will behave with us? Talking back at your elders? Is this what we taught you?  Now drop this attitude Shristi! Do what we say and we know what is best for you. You are not even married to him yet and you are cursing before us? Raising your voice? Is this what he influenced on you?" Mom questioned me.

" He influenced me to speak my heart out mom and nothing else. If I don't speak or fight right now, It will be the biggest mistake in my life and I can't afford to lose him, mom. I love him from my heart and his everything." I defended him and yelled at her while placing my hand over my heart.

I sank down on the floor. Tears flowing out of my eyes, I looked at all of them and they all wore a disappointment look. My sisters knew how I feel right now but they don't have any say in this.

" I want every.... everyone to give away your phones right now. Shristi and Shakthi you both will take a week off. As for you girls, your exams are coming up, so use your study holidays well. If anything you will use a laptop and nothing else and also only in front of your mom or aunt. Am I clear?" Mano uncle said to us.

Everyone nodded their head. I stood up wiping my eyes and placed my phone over the table and rushed up to my room.

I hope Shakthi will understand me and gives me space. I closed the door and fall over the bed and let out the waterfall I held for so long. It hurts so much that it's not bearable.

Mrithun solves this problem fast.

I hope he will and clutched my pillow and let myself sleep.

~flashback ends~

Unknown pov

The pandit Ji which I sent to Mrithun's house was sitting down in my living room. He looks completely guilty but he has to do this.

Because I trapped him in doing this and he will do anything for me. If not for me but his daughter.

His daughter life is based on my decision. He agreed to marry off his daughter who is above his status and can't do it. I offered him 5lakhs if he does whatever I say. So here he is guys.

I stood in front of him with a black bag. I looked at him and he gulped looking at me. Fear is what makes me strong. I smirked at him and sat opposite.

" Here is the balance amount. 2 lakhs as we agreed upon. Now you can continue your daughter's marriage." I said and hand over the money to the astrologer and he still has the guilt look.

"But what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have said that and it's unethical. What if any bad word gets out about me?" The pandit Ji said to me.

"Oh really? Unethical?" I smirked at him and laughed.

" Do you know what is love? I have waited all my life for Mrithun to marry me and now some stupid slut comes in my way to snatch him away? Never! He is mine right from the start. Now get out of my sight before I do something!" I lashed out at him and he took the money and went off running.

Greedy bastard. Thinks he is a saint.

" Good thinking, Kanna. Creating drift between them. I know Mohan won't risk his daughter's life." Mom said to me.

" oh, mom do you think that this will stop their marriage? Absolutely not. This is just the beginning. I have just started my game." I said to her and looked at me proudly.

Oh, Mrithun baby. You are mine and I'm yours. I will go to any extent to get us as mine.
