Epitome Of Love

19 | Intruders not allowed

"Come to my study" Vaibhav demanded and left to his study.

.......

It was hard time for three of them. Naira, Shamini and Seth. It wasn't a long when Aman made his way to the hall. When he looked at everyone he couldn't comprehend but anyways on knowing the presence of the man after Vaibhav he bowed and greeted," Morning sir"

"It's been long , how's you Aman" Ranveer teared up his gaze to Aman. He didn't realised his presence until he was intruppted . Aman responded beckoning and stood aside not knowing what's happening around.

The moment his gaze fell on the girl with mask on, he stiffened and couldn't help but greeted," My greetings ma'm". Aman directly bowed to Naira baffling her.

Royal people and their stupid manners. She mused at his way of respecting on bowing his head.

Since Naira and Shamini were standing close to eachother, it was quite difficult to boggle. Anyways not adding ghee to the fire , Shamini took the initiative to respond him , she smiled nervously and making Aman confused to his lungs. He immediately looked at Seth who was struggling to breathe under the same roof as these weirdos.

Are they really want to play life and death game. Seth mused.

Since Aman is unaware of the played role, he choose to stay back and be the witness of silent spectator. I will analyse myself.

..........

After a long silence , Mr. Seth sighed and sat down' This going to be long'

"I'm scared" Shamini whispered to Naira who was standing just beside her.

Naira didn't responded and kept looking at his retreating figure,' Did he just ignored me. ' Ranveer the man of his eagle vision was keenly watching reaction of both the girls standing beside each other. According to him, he is quite perplexed.

"I'm not going to him" Naira spoke helplessly to Shamini which did got heard by both Seth and Ranveer. Though it was low, but audible.

Aman is confused.

"Who said he's asking for you even" Ranveer responded cheekly. He sat on opposite couch facing the girl's. On looking at Naira's emotionless face, he too didn't bothered to clarify.

"Btw, why do you look so familiar. Have we met before " He questioned making her discomfort .

"What, what you mean by you met her before" Shamini who couldn't hide herself under the blanket anymore stood firmly on her friends side. Though she was shuttering with the thought but still dare to stand with her friend.

'How come they know each other'.

"Sorry, Sister-in law, but why are you shuttering so much." He instantly interrogated without bothering her question.

Shamini found herself weak, but to her dismay he added," Btw, you should have left to study room. Since you are called"

Shamini,"....."

"Called?"

"He didn't mentioned of calling me"

He smiled on her innocence and replied," he did called you, Mrs. Shergill "

"Oh, Naira, you should go then" she said casually, patting her shoulders for the attention, forgetting her play. Naira instantly got off-guard and looked at Ranveer whose reaction were competing her. It indicates he heard her stupidity.

"This is the second time you are calling her Naira." He dimmed his gaze at her and asked carefully," Aren't you Naira."

"Then who are you" his voice raised enthusiastically without giving space them to react on his prior suspicion.

Cursing her friend thousands times under her breath Naira ran to her room casually. She didn't want to be a part of her friends stupidity. Let her handle herself.

"Uh, Erm.."

" Sorry sir, President is asking for Mrs. Shergill in his study room" One of the butler intruppted unintentionally saving Shamini.

Ranveer heard him staring at 'Naira' , " ok then" He couldn't afford to offend Vaibhav, therefore he didn't exaggerated. " I think we should spend more time together to get to know each other better, sister-in-law" he stretched the latter part in mocking way.

She left with the butler hurriedly.

There is something fishy happening under this roof. He mused once she left. His mind eventually captured Naira's . He wondered and left a long glance at the close door of study before he left the villa while offering Aman for coffee.

...........

The room was lavish big. It was completely engulfed in dark except the desk area. Shamini was standing on the threshold gripping the doors handle. The light behind her was entering forming her shadow under her feet.

"How long were you thinking to stand by" the extreme deep calm voice echoed.

She was suddenly caught off guard and trembled as if he's looking through her. Her legs went jelly and mind stopped working. She breathed calming herself. She had heard how cruel he's. What if he caught her lie. He is already known as a heartless man, what would happen if she get exposed. Her heart thrumble with the running thoughts.

She lifted her leg and took a step ahead encouraging herself. The door was closed shut once she loosed the grip. Again, the only source of light coming behind her was vanished.

Now, only she and him is the one breathing the same oxygen. She wondered whether she should initiate or will he. Not wanting to wait nano seconds, she took the charge," I was asked. Why did you wanted to met me" her voice was firm and determined.

Yes, she is scared. She is afraid that what if her lie would caught. But nevertheless, being witness of her friend's deplorable state after their marriage, she can atleast cover her. Recalling Naira's emotions towards him, she suddenly determined herself not to get caught and play the role until Naira declared to shut. She will keep her friends emotions in every possible way, if required. No matter how cruel he's she will definitely stand by her friends side.

She can't be weak. Nah, no chance!

"You are so eager to leave before conversation get commenced"

Shamini,"....."

" Okay, I too didn't wanted to waste your precious time. So not beating around the bush, I have two questions to be asked" the room fell into more silence until," what happened sudden that you filled divorce"

He asked. Shamini tried finding his sillohute but couldn't as if he has emerged into the darkness. Only the source of voice is audible to identify the way. She turned her gaze to left but couldn't figure him out and fumbled thinking what to answer. She suddenly remembered Naira's word once she asked the same question after she filled. She had to throw the same answer on him cause Naira's frustration is way better than her unprocessed answer," Is there anything to keep this marriage alive"

Vaibhav didn't said anything. Shamini waited for him to come up with something better than nothing. She waited for him patiently but didn't heard . Therefore she decided to leave after a long silence.

"I think ,I should leave. Since I have my college tomorrow. I need to go University on time" she tried her best to keep her words inorder to show how confident she is.

In her heart only she knows how badly she's trembling. His voice seems so scary when it gets deep.

"Intruders are not allowed. Keep your known out of the villa"

"She's my friend..erm sister"

"Dosen't she has home to live in"

"We are .....orphan" she gulped the latter part and stood silent.

The door got opened itself. It was a clear sign for her to leave the spot, immediately.

Shamini didn't wasted a second and ran on leaving prompt.
