Author's POV~
"ARJUN??!!!!!!"
"Yes, babe... It's me, Arjun! Amazing right?!!! We would look so good together." Arjun said, with a face fully painted with evil.
"W-w-what---tttt!!!!?? Arjun!!! What the hell are you saying!" To say that Ananya was shocked would be an understatement.
Never in her life would she be helpless against a man she had promised in her past, that promise was now on the verge of breaking. She looked into Arjun's eye to decipher his intention but now they were black and white literally and metaphorically.
Again she is vulnerable due to a male...the nightmares buried in her subconscious now suddenly erupted.
Flashback now flashed ahead of her mind:
"What were you saying huh? You have no limits. now I will show even I don't have any limits, baby." He said as he had his way with her.
"Shhh..... my darling! It is a surprise!" Arjun said breaking her reverie.
"Ohh my GGODDDDD!! why are you- wait... wait wait wait! I-I know w-what this-this is!! Ohh my gosh!! You guys! Surprise party? I Luv you!! Such a nice surprise!!! Oh my! I got the heebi- jeebies! Seriously! Now bring the cake and stop this role-play thingy!" She said while fake encouraging herself.
She said while looking from member to member, expecting smiles and laughs and words like "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or "SURPRISE!" which would give the generous hall justice by making it appealing and delightful.
But neither of the words was here. The only thing which was there was silence and Arjun's laughter. The same laughter that made Ananya look like a Margarita pizza, a little red and a little white (the smile was so appealing which would make Ananya shy as a tomato and she used to say-
"Your teeth are so white!OMG! Save me from blindness! This light may make me blind and pale!!!" (with so many hysterics...))
The very same laughter was now going to create havoc in her already wrecked life...
"Indeed a surprise Annu! You got heebie-jeebie now it's time to get your hubby -hubby
Do you see that mandap? Let's join our souls here... for seven births... meh! That sounds so ridiculous and hysteric! Lemme rephrase. What I mean is-
You'll be mine here." he said while directing his hand toward the huge Mandap in the middle of the hall.
Ananya was now in the terror zone. She was terrified. She was shocked to see the malevolent smirk on his face. It was too ominous...
But if there was one thing that she learned from the previous encounter with sinister, she never showed her fear to the opponent. Arjun was so monstrous and so poisonous to her emotions that night, that he was far from being her opponent. He was now her Abhor.
"Never.WIll.I.Be.Anyone's.Property! Arjun, I like you. As a friend! And I don't want to lose a friend. Please, stop this nonsense!" Ananya roared like a fierce lioness.
"My love is Nonsense?!" Arjun roared.
"No, I- wait, y-you l-lov-ve m-me?"
"Yes My darling. The love which was never responded to! I gave you clues upon clues upon clues! But you! Ms."Innocent"! Saw them and pretended that you didn't know them! And kept playing with my emotions... Poor Arjun..."
Arjun started reciting a poem~
"Gave you clues to find this treasure
in my heart
