Aarti's P.O.V

Oh my God...I have never felt him so close before. He's not leaving his hands off my waist. Take your hands away, I wanted to shout at him but then I wanted to move my hands from his strong shoulders into his hair.... And I did.

I fist my fingers in his hair. I still reacted as if I am scared, though I wasn't scared at all. But for some reason I didn't wanted to pull away.

I actually thought he will push me away but to my shock he hold me more tightly. Now I was sitting on his lap with knees folded and both my hands in his hair...

I opened one eye and looked at the headboard.

I really want to pull a little to look at his angry face. But if I do that he would instantly get to know that I am doing this drama of getting scared. His touch is tormenting me. What should I do...I won't kiss him...no way.

Should I stop this and get off his lap. The lizard must have gone by now. Why am I getting sad?

His hands are so strong. His hold is so tight, I really wanted to shout before but now I want him to touch me all over.

May be he thinks I want to stick to him...

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

Aarti pulled away adjusting herself out of his lap. Without looking at him she rolled on the other side of the bed putting a pillow in between.

Veer watched her actions then took over the sheet...he wouldn't bother to ask any questions.

"Don't cross this border" she looked at his back...

Without looking at her he angrily retorted back "I never look across the border. I only shoot my enemies"

She wanted to beat him, how could he retort to her like this "you are my enemy, understand. I can shoot as well"

This time Veer wanted to turn around and kick her out of his room.

He was about to turn when they heard the knock at the door...

"Aarti..." Rama whispered outside the door

Aarti got up from the bed .... And opened the door...

"Mom...what are you doing here?" Aarti surprisingly looked at her Mother from top to bottom...

Rama tried to peek inside the room "where are you sleeping?"

Aarti shook her head "please Mom...I am not a child"

"You are Aarti...let me see" Rama tried to move ahead but Aarti stopped her "don't you trust me"

Rama looked at her daughter "ok...but be careful"

Aarti couldn't believe her Mother's acting like a spy. She was about to lay on the bed when she saw Veer picking up the pillow and moving towards the couch.

"You don't have to sleep on the couch Veer"

"No need for your suggestions"

Tears gathered around her eyes...how will she make him understand? His anger has almost killed their relation. And on top of that her own Mother has played a nice role. She was pissed off with everyone.

Veer doesn't consider her anything in his life. She remembered her days in college. Then she thought of telling him that she lied...he never did wrong ...no if she does this. He will surely kill her for lying. Her relation started on a lie.

Yes, he never liked her. It was she who wanted to come close to him and started meeting him after making him believe this lie that he slept with her.

She decided to tell him the truth. No matter what happens, its her wedding night and she would start her life with clearing all the lies.

"Veer... I want to talk to you"

He was almost half slept

"Veer... are you listening?"

He turned around to look at her...she was crying, as usual he thought that's what he should be doing after getting married to her.... "What is it now? Did your chief tell you to torture me?"

Aarti felt insulted again...why he doesn't stop yammering about her mother... "No, she's not my chief...she's my Mother"

With raised brows he looked at her innocent face...she only looks innocent he thought. He was really not in a mood to listen to her stories, but she wouldn't stop anyways ...

"whatever"

"I will not torture you" she wiped her tears

He wanted to hit his head on the wall ... "ok shoot"

Aarti knew he was not interested in her talks...he always takes her granted. Why should she tell the truth when he behaves in such a manner.

If she told him, he would keep on yelling about that. She thought over and decided not to tell him the truth and let him keep webbed in this.

He watched her thinking "are you trying to use your brains?"

She looked at him...annoyed at his every comment she stood up from the bed "yes, you are the intelligent person on this earth...I only try to use my brains"

"Stop it Aarti...you are getting on my nervous now" he tried to turn his face when she stepped into the bathroom and filled the mug with water...

Next instance the only sound they could hear was a splash....

"What the hell have you done?" he got up from the couch all drenched in water...

His eyes daggered at her...another instance she stepped backwards...unable to confront anymore of his bitter words, she thought of stepping herself out of the room...but he pulled her and was about to pick her up when she thought of something "do you remember what you did in college?"

He stopped and looked at her... then dropped her on the bed "what?"

She smirked a little...so he was getting on her terms now, it won't matter if she does this at least to stop his blasting at her "so you forgot"

She tried to be angry

He was trying to recollect her.... When she blasted at him "why will you remember what you did with me in the college?"

Instantly Veer remembered the day when they both slept in one class room and he didn't remember anything in the morning.

"What do you mean? What did I do?"

"Oh...don't be so innocent. You know what you did"

He didn't wanted to go on with this topic whole night "let me relax...please"

Aarti smiled while he was still picking up what to say next... he didn't look at her, instead walked straight to the change his wet clothes...

If this was the way to handle this angry man, then be it this way...she thought.

Every time if he tried to blast on her she would remind him what he did with her in college... she giggled.

Finally all the tears vanished from her eyes, whereas she was continuously crying from the last few hours...

Depicting the whole situation in her mind she finally took the sheet over and slept peacefully....

Here Veer felt so uncomfortable. He reminisced the incident that took place years back in college where he did what he shouldn't have done.

He stepped out of the bathroom just to look at her... he couldn't see her face but imagined she must be crying...but how can he rectify that now.

Without saying anything he jumped on the couch and tried to sleep. But no way, he was so restless.

For the first time he was thinking about Aarti...that was the reason he never wanted any girl in his life. He felt stuck...like a frog who can't jump out of the well.

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

Sameer and Sheetal had planned to visit Kasauli...at least Veer and Aarti will remember they met first time over there...the college, and other sightseeing.

"Good idea Sheetal...that's why I admire you" Sameer had his last bite...

Nakul and Uday were excited but on the other side Arjun was feeling angry

"Look at the ass" Nakul whispered in Uday's ear

"I know...it's because of girls" replied Uday

"Not really...look at Sameer... Sheetal never talks to him angrily..."

"Hmm... and what about Veer"

"Oh Veer... do you think he will let Aarti talk in front of him..."

Both laughed

Arjun stared at his friends "what's going on?"

"Nothing....we were talking about the weather..." replied Uday
