"I am not interested," Kiara was on the verge of walking away, but Harshad grabbed her wrist.

Kiara scanned around the locality. If anyone glanced at them, they would judge them, her. How easily people would question one's character! "Leave my hand, Harshad." Kiara urged, staring at her surrounding in concern.

"Just get into the car."

"I don't want your invitation. If you wanted to invite me, you had invited me hours back. I don't want to force Avni's or Yami's decision on you. You can simply tell them that I denied your offer."

Harshad stared at her in disbelief, "I am doing this for Yami and Avni?" He shook her head, "do you think so ill of me?"

"I don't have time for this discussion," Kiara was struggling in his grip. "Just leave my hand."

"Not until you calm down and listen to me."

"I am not in a condition to listen to you. I need my space..."

"What more space are you in need of?" Harshad growled, grabbing her by her shoulder and pushing her toward the metallic subject. "You had walked away from us for more than six months and still you're asking for space. I don't have more patience to deal with," Harshad gritted his teeth but soon leaned his forehead on Kiara's.

Harshad shut his eyes as the slow breath was fanning Kiara's face making her nervous about the proximity they were in. "I am fucking losing my calm over you, sweetheart."

Kiara's heart skipped a beat. It had been months since she had heard him calling her that. She was longing to hear it from his deep, hoarse voice but won't ever confess it.

"Harshad leave me..." Kiara stirred in his grip. "I need to go before my parents get aware of my disappearance." Harshad was much stronger compared to her and he wasn't in the mood to leave her off.

"Can't you fucking see it?" Harshad groaned. "I am fucking in need of you...." He opened his eyes, staring deep into her black-round orbs. "Stop, pushing me away for the sake of Dhruv." He was blabbering and Kiara soon realized he was smelling awful.

"Are you drunk?" Kiara was shooting daggers at her. "Harshad?" And those dangerous, large orbs made furious Harshad settle down.

Harshad offered her a sheepish smile; Kiara narrowed her eyes at him. "Just a little," he whispered leaning further into her face.

"You are smelling awful, just walk away." Kiara was attempting to jerk him away but Harshad grip was stronger even in a drunken state.

He shook his head and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I am not leaving you any sooner. Not even that Dhruv can steal you away from me." He grumbled expressing his jealousy. Kiara's eyes widen in shock. Kiara had never anticipated that Harshad was so possessive over her. He wasn't one of those guys to display his possessiveness.

"I missed you..." He muttered pressing a kiss on her cheek. Kiara blushed but soon grabbed her posture.

"I missed you too..." She responded making Harshad grin like an idiot.
