Veer's smile disappeared the moment he saw her...

Aarti carefully kept the huge tray on the centre table...

"So Sameer, are you guys going anywhere after your marriage or will you be like Veer and Aarti sitting quietly at home" Uday picked up the cup

"No way. We will definitely go for our honeymoon. Right Sheetal" Sameer grinned at Sheetal...

Sheetal smiled back then looked at Aarti's sad face....

"Nice coffee Aarti..." Kavita said... "Did you make it?"

Aarti looked at her "no, I don't know how to make anything"

Veer angrily stared at her "besides making stories"

Sheetal looked at both of them...she was now sure that there was something between both of them...

"Every girl likes making stories" said Arjun...

Kavita angrily hit him on the hand "really? How many stories have you heard?"

"Forget about Arjun, Kavita... I will tell you a story." Veer said aloud ...

This alarmed Aarti, she knew Veer is fuming and he would disclose everything in front of their friends ... "excuse me" she was about to leave when Veer pulled her hand "where are you going Mrs Aarti Veer Oberoi?" she could easily make out the taunts in his voice...

"I...i have some work to do" she tried to fidget her hand away... but Veer didn't leave her hand...instead angrily squeezed it.

"You can finish your work later..." Veer smirked at her...

Everyone looked at Veer "Veer, its ok let her go" Sameer said

"No Sameer... she can't leave until I complete the story" Veer said firmly making Aarti sit at one place...

Sheetal watched Aarti's who didn't say anything...

"Leave it Veer... Aarti is not comfortable" Kavita said...

Veer laughed "why do you worry? Believe me I am not going to hurt her, I am just going to tell you a simple story that was told to me years back"

Arjun, Nakul and Uday seriously looked at Veer...

"So this is story about a girl and a boy... now this boy doesn't love this girl but to get this boy's attention the girl weaved a story. She made the boy drink something that made him unconscious and next day this girl pretended that he has spoilt her life by misusing her. But the truth was he didn't do anything. So this is how this girl created a story and fooled the boy." Veer frowned at Aarti who didn't look at him...

"That's not good" Nakul said

Uday nodded his head "girls can fall so low...hard to imagine"

Sheetal observed Aarti as if she has done this...

"It's true Uday... some girls stoop very low to get into a relationship" Veer said with angry tone...

Aarti picked up her phone and left the room making an excuse...

Sheetal watched Veer's expression who looked extremely angry at Aarti... so this story must be between Veer and Aarti...

Everyone else was busy chatting, Sheetal thought of talking to Aarti..."I will be back" she said to Sameer...

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

Sheetal saw Aarti sitting on the bed bitterly crying "Aarti"

Aarti looked up at Sheetal and hugged her "Sheetal... I"

"Aarti... what happened?" Sheetal wiped her tears... "Did you lied to Veer about...?"

Aarti cried excessively... "I did that time in college Sheetal...but believe me, I had no wrong intentions..."

Sheetal felt bad for Aarti and cajoled her "it's alright Aarti... now you're husband and wife... but yes you did something wrong. We cannot get love by creating something like this"

Aarti kept on crying...

Sheetal gave her the tissue "Aarti... we all know Veer was always rude with you in college and we used to make you understand this but you never listened to us... anyways now you have to build up this trust back. You were never so weak. Stop crying Aarti"

Aarti wiped her eyes... and looked at Sheetal "you tell me...what I should do?"

Sheetal smiled at her "Veer loves you... it's just that he might not trust you that much. But you have to be strong and believe in yourself... time heals everything."

Aarti thought again...

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

Everyone headed off to their rooms... Aarti never wanted to show her friends that she and Veer sleep in different rooms...

She entered Veer's room, he was sitting on the bed with his laptop on... "What are you doing here?"

She quietly closed the door "I am sleeping here, only for today. I don't want them to know there's a rift between us"

Veer annoyingly looked at her "I don't care about you or them... just get out of my room"

Aarti was about to leave but then she thought something "listen Veer... I haven't done any crime... and if you think I have than I don't care"

She angrily hopped on the bed and took the blanket...

Veer furiously got up from the bed, kept his laptop away then pulled the blanket off her...

He pulled her arm "just leave from here...I can't tolerate you in my room"

"No, I am not going anywhere ..." she tried to pull back.... In this process her dress got ripped off from the shoulder and Veer stepped back

She looked at her dress, without saying anything she started unbuttoning the dress...

"What the hell are you doing?" he shouted...

"I can't wear torn clothes" she yelled back...

He saw her taking off her gown... she was now standing in a thin strapless top till her thighs....

He took a deep breathe incensed at her... "You are insane"

"You are the same" she retorted back "you tear my dress"

"Get lost Aarti... otherwise I will rip off this one as well" he blasted irately...

This time she was furious at him... how dare he say like that... "Really?" she stepped closer

Veer angrily held her arm and twisted at the back "don't try to act to smart" he said bringing her frame closer to his body....

"You're hurting me Veer" she yelped

"Not as much as you have hurt me" he replied ....with other hand pulling her long silken hair...

She looked into his eyes.... for some time unable to picture the pain he was giving her....she could feel his breathe touching her cheek.... suddenly she saw his knitted brows setting straight...

His hands relaxed on her arms and instead grabbed her waist.... The other hand still pulling the locks to make her look up in his eyes...

"I didn't do anything to hurt you Veer" she whispered softly...touching his shoulders...

This time he didn't pushed her away.... "I wanted you to love me...the way I do" she whispered encircling her arms around his neck....

His hand pressed around her waist tightly almost making her wince "you can't expect anyone to start loving you like this" he whispered back.... His arm tautened around her thin waist....

Both were quite for some time... all they could hear was the cool winds blowing outside... she blinked her moist eyes... "I failed Veer..." she softly said closing her eyes...

This time he frowned a little.... while she continued "I am really sorry for lying about this"

A small tear came floating down her eyes sitting on her fair cheek...

She felt his lips only inch away from hers.... "Veer, I don't want to end my relation with you... I will die if you leave me"

She realised he gripped her tightly around him... her heart beats raced.

"Veer, I know I shouldn't have lied to you about this. I am really sorry about this lie. And" she said

"Sshh" he said

"If you say again and again I will have to turn your lie into a truth" he whispered near her ear almost making her heart beat against her chest...

Nervously she tried looking everywhere else except him....

She couldn't recall when he placed his lips on hers... a feeling of hot wetness ran down her body... she quivered at his violent reaction on her lips, emotions that were buried deep down the heart erupted as a savage attack on her lips... his hand continuously pulled her silken hair and the other still holding her waist.... She tried to fidget but it wasn't easy...

She felt his tongue marauding her mouth as if he was dying the same way she was...she felt the pain while he was sucking her lips...

His hand was strong around her waist and the other hand still fist around her silken hair pulling them more to go deeper inside her mouth... the sensation was so wild that she almost fainted... she never thought even in her dreams that he would outbreak like this. It was impossible for her to escape his strong hold...tingle on her lips made her cry in soreness...

It was only after few minutes that they were interrupted with a knock at the door.

Finally breaking the kiss...he stared passionately down at her..."open the door" he whispered placing a small kiss on her already swollen lips...

He released her off his grasp finally... she touched her lips, adjusted her already messed up hair... she couldn't take a step properly and was about to fall when he held her again "I haven't done anything yet" he whispered looking passionately at her...

She had never seen his romantic side...it was obviously not so easy for Aarti to digest... "I...am ok" she whispered and tried to look around for something to cover her bare shoulders....

"Wear this..." he said offering his shirt...

She took it and quickly wore the shirt... her head was whirling and heart was still racing...if only a mere kiss can shoot her so high...what will happen if he actually sleep with her... the thoughts were making her nervous...

She opened the door and saw Sheetal standing out "are you sleeping?"

Aarti looked at her friend who looked worried... "No...not yet... what happened Sheetal?"

"Nothing I thought you might need help to pack the things...remember we are leaving tomorrow morning" Sheetal said

Aarti recalled her words...she had promised Sheetal that she would leave with her tomorrow "yes...I remember...I have to do my packing..."

"Then come...I will help you" Sheetal said...

"Ok...give me five minutes Sheetal" Aarti said trying to show herself normal...

Sheetal smiled and left ...

Aarti turned around to look at Veer...her heart skipped several beats in a minute's time...

Veer was sitting comfortably on the bed.... "What happened?"

"Veer...I am leaving with Sheetal tomorrow... she wants me to pack my bags... I am leaving tomorrow morning for two weeks" Aarti said looking sadly

Aarti recalled her passionate kiss that was left in between ... how she could make him understand that she doesn't want to go...

"You can go and pack..." Veer assured her...

She smiled a little ... "thanks Veer..."

He looked at his phone... "I will be leaving early for the training as well"

"Will you come to the wedding?" she asked

Veer looked at her "of course... and then you can come back with me"

"So I ...I can go pack my stuff" Aarti said slowly not willing to leave...

"Ok" Veer replied looking at his phone...

She thought herself so stupid, she felt only she was crazy and wanted to melt in his arms... he was least bothered now.

How can he be so normal just after what he did to her...her heart was still racing... her hands were sweating plus she felt herself so wet in between her legs and here Veer had no reactions...or maybe he knows how to control his feelings.

Reluctantly she opened the door and walked away
