Chapter 7

Of course, She lied! How can she tell him she could see the letters but couldn't read them, She tried asking her colleagues to read it but they neither see any words in the book, They looked at her weirdly and also made fun of her. She didn't want anything repeats to him. For some unknown reasons, She didn't want to bring her foolish side infront of him. And also he didn't force her. They were in Alleppey, Kerala. She had no idea how she got in here but the words she heard in her sleep indeed became true when she saw the morning newspaper, The news of his death covered in a corner. It was said as mafia attack but she had no idea how reached the shore and shivaay saved her from there. She had been in drugs for complete two days. Mathur thought he will get her addicted to the drugs and takes advantages of her by her own will. But that didn't happen.

She didn't say anything to shivaay, Even he didn't ask for it. He took her back to Mumbai without asking her anything. She was confused, She had no place to live and also she didn't have a single penny, She also lost her mom's bangles, The only thing her mom left for her. She also lost her job when she argued with her TL to cover haunted haveli as a new project, Everything happened in the span of three days.

"Shivaay, I will take a taxi to Pune." - She said as soon as they landed in Mumbai. He looked at her shockingly as if she exploded something. She stayed silent.

"Shivaay, You're helping a lot. I am not used to it. I will manage, I swear." - She said in her lowest tone.

"Friends do help anika. And I don't want to hear anything from you. Before I could lose my patience, Come with me to my house." - He said in a stern tone.

"Your house? How's that possible?" - She asked him back in her lowest tone.

"By walk, From here to my car, And my car will transport us to my home. Simple, Basic." - He said in the same stern tone.

"Anika, For the sake of Anish. I can't let his sister alone, helpless. Do you understand?" - He said and his tone became cold than before.

"But I work there." - She continued resisting.

"You lost your job before 6 days." - He said, She wondered how he knew about her. But he indeed true. She can't withstand his stares.

"But I can't stay there for free." - She said finally understanding.

"Pay rent once you find a job. I didn't say no to that. But I can't leave you anywhere at this point." - He said, His face turning to normal, Her heart relaxed to see him normal, She also become tense when he saw him losing patience with her.

"Now, I don't want to hear any if's and but's." - He said looking at her. She turned her head towards the way and walked with him.

"Bossy!" - She muttered which brought a smile in his face at that moment which he gazed away. 

**************** 

He finally brought her to his house, To his mansion after so many efforts. After whatever happened he can't let her live alone and also added to that he created many shreds of evidence about her brother and also match his lie to her. When she denied coming to his home, He literally lost his patience. Normally, He's a head-heated person. When she behaved like that, He felt like saying every truth to her but he stopped himself. How can a person even dare to say that? Especially when she had nothing in her hand. 

"Is this your house?" - Anika exclaimed to the beauty of the mansion where he's living. 

"Yes, Welcome to my house!" - Shivaay said smiling. She smiled at him back. 

"Are you living alone? What about your family members?" - She asked him.

"Till now, I lived alone, My parents died at my very young age, Lived with my grandmother and my Uncle, And started the business, Moved here. One day I will introduce everyone to you, My grandmother is the sweetest person in the earth." - He exclaimed taking her inside. He was so excited to introduce his family to her but when she reacted confused, He changed the sentence.
