Chapter 7: I hate you! dammit...
Two figures were lying together in the bed. Waves were hitting them and indirectly breaking their slumber. A sun ray was disturbing her and she slowly tried to open her eyes. Last night was damn hectic for her. Pushing, running, shouting many more things happened in just one day. All those awful incidents made her very exhausted and tired.
Khushi who was sleeping from last night slowly started moving. Her head was paining very badly. With her body still lying on the bed, she forced her hand to move with little strength she had. Her eyes sight was distracted as she tried to see the surrounding where she was and with whom she was as she could feel a warm hand wrapping her body. She blink her eyes two three times to view but getting very difficult to get the clear view. She could feel she is going to fall sick. Despite of everything, she could sense something heavy, really hard on top of her holding her. But not in proper terms to see the man as her body not allow her to react. She felt his weight on her, pressing her against him. Every inch of her body was paining due to illness she was experiencing. She was unable to cope up with situation and steadied herself to create some distance but once again he grabbed her close to him. He was getting solace and relax being close to her and no way he will let her move an inch. On the other hand, she bite her lips to prevent those weird sensation on her stomach. She is feeling a bit uneasy like she was about to vomit but the man is totally oblivious what she was going through.
Arnav who was sleeping taking her underneath him, inhale her intoxicant scent that driving him insane. He lost track of everything when she was with him. His mind was detached with her and is no longer working. He is only feeling and feeling her soft breathe touching his skin. It was like his soul was transferred into another world. But then his frown brow when he started realizing she was wriggling not because of his touching but due to some kind of painful whimper. He shoot his eyes open in one instant and gaze her. Dark circle around her eyes and her body was hot. He patted her but she wasn't responding. An unknown fear started building up.
''Damn..she had fever!'' He hurried outside to grabbed all the necessary stuffs to cure her. With one swift movement, he raised his hand to put cold cloth on her forehead but then realization drawn upon him. He clenched his fist not wanted to give any damn to this girl.
Arnav was deprived of any emotions and feelings. His heart was like a adamant stone but this girl is really pissing him off. Nothing in this world could hold his attention but seems she already started capturing something precious inside him.
''Bloody hell!'' He threw the glass on the floor and started walking out without caring about her.
''I love lavanya so don't you dare try to affect me!'' He pressed each and every word to make her aware she meant nothing to him but least he could muster, she was half conscious hardly hear anything uttered by him. Outside, he began pacing restlessly with anger and frustration. This was the exact moment when the fire inside him began rising and roaring. The sheer silence in the large room been disturb by the phone call. He grabbed his i-phone with irritation and saw the private number flashing on the screen.
''Should I talk to Asr?'' He looked on disinterested. Her voice was urgent.
''Speaking?''
''Hello sir..this is nurse savita..i..I..'' Her voice was stammering and she look here and there every now and then to make sure no one was around or could here her soft whisper. With lot of hardship, she grabbed his number and need his help anyhow as aman and his men's was following her in every corner of the street. Her life was in danger and Asr was the only person who could save her as she is going to expose everything in clear.
''Right now I m busy call later..'' he said boringly and was about disconnect when she pleaded him to stop.
''Please sir its very important that pregnant lady..your employer tried to ki..l..l-..'' Been interrupted. She was breathing hard and was unable to talk properly. She managed to hide inside the PCO boot once she noticed few goons already stalking around. She was shivering in fear and pressed her mouth.
''Excuse me! What the hell are you talking about..?'' He looked on confused not getting anything as he was unable to hear her properly. Suddenly a sharp noise echoed from inside that grabbed his attention and he look ahead. With one swift motion, she blunt out everything.
''I m talking about a girl name, khushi gupta..she is pregnant and your employ aman mathur, he tried to kill your baby..'' Totally unaware, those words doesn't get heard by him as he already ran inside leaving his phone to hang behind.
''Hello..hello..sir..'' When she didn't got any response, she tried his number again but he is not responding as now his whole attention grabbed by the lady who is going to be mother of his child.
''Khushi!'' He barged in only to found her lying half on the floor trying to grab something in her softness. He immediately ran toward her and adjust her properly on the bed.
''Have you gone mad..who told you to step out of bed dammit..'' He shouted looking deep into her eyes who didn't show any kind of expression on her face. He looked worried and shifted her toward the headboard by letting her back settled behind the soft pillow. She already vomit two times and when she come out of washroom, she tried to use the wall as a supporter. Due to weakening state, she was unable to carry herself and therefore, glass slipped from her grip which grabbed his attention. The door which was closed, unlocked.
He clenched his fist not wanted to gave any mercy to this girl but unfortunately can't see her in such vulnerable state. His heart started stabbing unusually. He realized she haven't had anything since last night. He quickly call few men and ordered them to bring food as early as possible. Within a second, food get served in front of her eyes. But she looked away in rejection.
''You have no choice!'' He said angrily and without caring about her damn attitude, he started feeding her which as usual she threw away. Even she was weak and ill, yet had a courage to fight. He tried to feed her again but she wasn't letting him.
''Don't..'' She managed to say a word and worn him. Though she was not in a state to argue but one thing is clear he could not be trust-able. At one time he tried to kill her and now showing his so called sympathy. How pathetic! May be planning again to kill her by mixing poison in the food? Her mind suspected and she get horrified.
''Hame apki madat ki koi jarurat nahi hain..chod dijiye hame..'' (I don't need your so called help..leave me) She wave his hand pushing the plate away and stood up to walk. Anyhow she need to get rid of this place otherwise don't know what next he had planned to hurt her. Not for herself, she had to protect herself for her sister who is the soul reason of her existence. He didn't stop her and keep on staring her stubbornness with folded arms. He was perfectly calm and gave a little smile.
Before she step another foot her legs trembled. She loose her balance and on the verge on falling down when in an instant he grabbed her and she fell into his arms.
''Becahri banne ka natak acha kar leti ho tum..'' (you act so well of being a poor girl)) ''I must say nice trick to attract rich men and bed them..'' His bitter comment disgust her. She started punching him with her weak hands but unsuccessful.
''Do hell with you..'' Annoyed, he tore his gaze and look away. He didn't like someone holding his attention specially this girl who had so much attitude filled in her pea size brain. Later when he didn't got any reaction, he look behind and get shocked seeing her lying half conscious. Wrapping her into his arms, he shook her. Frantically she look up slightly to meet his eyes.
Her health is definitely not well and upon that his cheap words were adding fuel to it. Seeing her state, he control his anger and tried to handle her but she is not allowing him to touch her and adamant to go back. Without giving damn to her, he lifted her up and put her on the bed again.
''Jab tak tum theek nahi ho jati yaha se hilne ki koshish bhi mat karna..samaj gayi..'' (Untill you won't get full recovered..don't you dare try to move from here..keep it in your mind very clearly) He commanded roughly this time. Even she hated him but his words shocked her.
''Don't stare at me like that..remember when I was ill you take care of me so I'm doing the same because I feel pity for you!'' He passed a evil smile without any sign of guilt in those eyes. While, her eyes were filled with fury and he was perfectly calm.
''You are nothing but a heartless and selfish person..'' That was the day when she had felt she had been with a angel even though it was for a brief time. She got everything she ever dream. At the same time, this was the day she realized she came face to face with the worst type of monster she had ever known.
She open her mouth to say something when forcefully he feed her food by shutting her mouth. Her eyes widen by his arrogance. But this is all he was- his way was different but intention not that bad when it concern with her. It quite weird to accept but currently he only want her safety. Once finished, he made her lay on the bed and was just staring at her hand which is still resting on her stomach. He closed her eyes so that she should sleep without anymore arguments. This time she failed to see the little sign of care from him. It didn't matter much because he is only responsible for putting this in first place. She wanted to run from this place but her health wasn't allowing to even stood properly. She hide her eyes in silence but the echo of her pain were all around and lastly she drowned herself into slumber as her body didn't feel like her own and her unconscious was piercing her soul.
Flashback*
''Aj mausam hain suhana..
shower mein nahane ka hain bahana..
la..la..la..la..la..''
Arnav smirked delicately by her antics. He began searching lavanya but then his feet halted by the weird song escaping from the corner of room. For the first time, he stepped in her place and he really wanted to explore this place. He stepped inside and heard her singing like a mad singer while having a bath.
''Crazy girl..'' He tilted his head to hide his smirk and turned to walk away but her urgent voice stopped him.
''Lavu..u there?'' He raised his eyebrow naughtily and stood outside the bathroom to hear her by what she was going to shoot. He decided to leave the place as lavanya could be there anytime and he don't want any issue because of her. But again she stopped him.
''Can you please come inside and zip my kameez.. I was trying since long but unable to do it..'' She pouted her mouth and he smirked sarcastically. Arnav knock the door again making her groaned in irritation. Without looking at the face, she grabbed his hand and he slumped inside by irrational pull. His jaw dropped.
''What you waiting for? i m getting late..today is my flight to London..hurry up I don't want to miss this opportunity..you know I still can't believe I got selected among 100 candidate for carrying out this project..now all my dreams comes true after this..'' She keep on blabbering and he heard it silently capturing all the information he was getting from opposite end. He began wondering something deeply. His lips curved meaningfully.
He lifted his gaze to open his mouth but words melted into his throat by what he saw which he shouldn't . He get awestruck by the view of her sexy back which is all revealed to his naked eye. The attraction toward her was so strong that he couldn't hold back or even think about it. Slowly and steadily his fingers trace her milky skin to feel her for the very first time. Without thinking anything, he unzipped her left over kameez making it loosen from her shoulder. Her jaw dropped and eyes froze. She looked up shocked noticing him through mirror who had smug smile on his face.
''What non sense is that!!!!!! What the hell you doing in my washroom?'' She shouted with all her mighty and walked to him to pounced at him, totally forgotten about her dress that is sliding down momentarily. While he widen his eyebrow scanning his eyes.
''Aise tukur tukur kya dekh rahe ho..kabhi koi ladki dekhi nahi kya-jungli janwar..'' (What are you staring at me..havn't seen any girl before-wild animal..''
''Mind your language..'' He barked as she was provoking him.
''Varna kya ka kar lenge app..'' (Otherwise what you would do..)
''Excuse me..its you who invited me inside..not me!'' She fumed.
''Listen mister..before i kill you with my bare hands..leave right now..'' she about to pushed him but to her bad luck both fell together into the tub by another rapid pull, soaked with soap. Her eyes widen and that was a shock to her. She never imagine in her life that this person could go to such extend. Pervert! That was so disgusting. She was trying to got up but again fell upon him. There body was brushing to each other. He raked her hair behind and looked at her with intensity and dark eyes. Unintentionally his finger reached her back and it began moving involuntarily. This was the most embarrassing and awkward situation. He keep holding her gaze until something fluttered in her tummy.
''Hey devimaiya please save me from this player!'' He smile devilishly eyeing her helpless state.
Poor girl! he thought slyly gazing her from top to bottom. She tried to cover her up and passed a disgusting look. He raised her chin and she tried to inch back unknown of his intention.
''Are you mad..what are you doing..leave me you scoundrel...how dare you..'' She roared by his approach. He was trying to got up but then again fell upon her in a very compromising state. She shuddered. He keep staring her who was equally staring him.
''Can't you keep your eyes off from me..i don't told you to drool on me..'' He passed a comment and she eyed him unbelievably.
''Are you nuts..get off me right now!'' She seethed in anger.
''If you shout again I won't..'' He retorted. His jaw clenched when she poked her nails on his chest. With one strode, he twisted her arms and she winced in pain. She bite his hand and freed herself immediately before walking away. Composing her posture, she fixed her dress properly and dashed to open the door. She was so angry and frustrated by his moves that didn't realize that door knob come to her hands by her aggressive kick.
''Hey devimaiya ye darwaze ko kya ho gaya..'' (Oh god what happen to door) she ran a frustrated hand through her hair and gulped when he started advancing toward her.
''Dekhiye hamre pas mat ayeye varna hum..'' (Look.. don't try to near him otherwise I will..'' She tried to threthen him by pointing finger.
''Varna kya..'' (else what?) he shrunched his eyelids amused.
''Hu..mm..'' She closed her eyes tightly fearfully as he came close, more close to her.
''You monster I won't spare you..don't touch me..don't touch me..'' She muttered with her eyes shut and he keep gazing her. In a sudden they heard lavanya voice from other end.
''Khushi you there..i can't find asr..have you seen him?'' Before he assign her to shut her mouth, she already spat.
''Lavu- your boyfriend and I stuck in bathroom..please help us out..'' Lavanya narrowed her eyes. He glare angrily at khushi. With few struggles, lavanya push the door and both moved out.
''Samjha de apne boyfriend ko mujhse dur reh..'' (Tell him to stay away from me) Saying this she dashed off leaving behind already raging asr. Thankfully she is leaving this city and wished to not face him ever in her life. Least she know what he had stored for her in near future.
He was about to pounce at her, when lavanya placed her hand on his shoulder gesturing him to stop.
''Lavanya its not my fault..'' he narrate her everything what had happen and she grinned seeing him still fuming.
''Its okay asr..Many times I caught in same situation and we had shower together...'' His jaw dropped. They talk for few minutes. Lavanya kissed on arnav cheeks which he replied by smile. After a while, he excuse himself and call aman to book a flight ticket to London which is heard by lavanya.
''Arnav you going London..but why?''
''Some important deal come up..i need to go! sorry baby I didn't get time to inform you..'' She sighed sadly and placed her head on his chest.
''I will miss you baby.. ' She played with his shirt buttons.
''Me too..''
''Can you do me a favor!'' He waited to her to continue and she said. ''Could you please have a check on khushi once she reach there..i mean first time she is going alone in new city..everything is quite new for her..''
''DON"T WORRY LAVANYA I WILL NEVER EVER LEAVE HER AND MADE HER EXPERIENCED IN EVERY DEPARTMENT..'' He remarked cunningly and immediately cover up the matter of fact before she suspect anything.
*Present*
His eyes flew open when he heard her coughing. Hurriedly, he took plane glass of water near her lips while his other hand patting her back. She tried to move his hand but is his more adamant than her. Her mind was screaming to stop him but not gathered enough energy to protest. he sat on the bed to check her temperature. Thankfully she is better than before. Finally the exhaustion took over her and she drifted to sleep again. He always want to see her in pain but now it hurts.
Few hours passed, arnav keep on staring her meaningfully. He didn't blink his eyes for a second. He turned to marched outside to got his mobile but stopped.
''Kar..ran..'' She mumbled in sleep. His fist clenched as if he was ready to punch something. Angrily, he slumped toward the bed and hovered upon her. Her hand were lifeless and was unable to move when he slammed her lips furiously and pressed his tongue harder inside her mouth giving her clear warning she is not allowed to moan any stranger's name in her wildest dream.
