Chapter 52 temoin

Riyaz " I mumbled " ur no longer a mortal  " .....

" What? "

I nodded " ur a hunter " he stared at me for a while trying to overcome his shock , he  opened his mouth like a fish to say something but immediately closed " speak ' I ordered " uh well I guess....... I got powers ...powers how cool is that " he exclaimed his eyes beaming bright as he jumped up n down like a kid. Wait isn't this a serious scenario why is he so excited, " Miss Mridula I can't believe " he tried to hug me
" Social distancing " I waved of " oh ya so u r telling me I can also shoot beams from my eyes " his smile widened

" No, ur not superman"

" wait so I can't " he looked disappointed " yea that's not how it works unless we are some DC or Marvel character which we clearly are not " I shrugged.

" so what powers did I get?"

" ur asking the wrong person "

" oh "

" Anyways congratulations ur girlfriend likes you "

" she is not my girlfriend " I paused " ur telling me she is not ur girlfriend and yet u get marked "

" is this some kind of game Riyaz" at this point I think this guy is playing with me " oh no no uhm well do u remember the library u got marked "

" what are u saying " through gritted teeth he gulped " I and shruti kind of witnessed it " he smiled nervously my eyes narrowed

AU POV (flash back )

" Are we seriously going to do this " Shruthi exclaimed, Riyaz nodded " That's what boss wants us to do " he spoke as he placed his hand on her waist,  " No no no " she moved away " This is the only way we hunters can enter the palace of mist , by jumping in this long tunnel " he spoke " wait but.... "

"Are u scared of heights or that u have to touch me" he added sarcastically waiting for her irritated reaction but nothing  came not even a sigh or eye roll.

Strange.,she looked a bit lost he thought

" no am not I just..." chewing  the corner of her cheek " I don't think this is right " her heart pounded so fast perhaps this was fear of something she should not have discovered " what do you mean?" All the hint of sarcasm gone in his voice. " I don't know I don't know what am doing " she sat down on a stone nearby head hung low her leg was shaking tremendously while she was biting her nails , " what's wrong " he kneeled down in front of her his large hands holding her small ones she paused finally her eyes meeting his.

Tears?

Riyaz stared astounded at her she immediately hugged him and weeped at his chest " I don't want to do this anymore " she hiccups " listen if u don't u don't we will find another way to enter the palace " patting her back

" no I don't want to do this it's clear can't you see he is so happy "

" so happy...who?"

"Prince " she sighed.

"Prince? " He asked not quite knowing whom she was referring "who is he ?"

Her eyebrows shot up she was going to let her secrets out to him ,she shook her head hugging him tighter listening to his warm heart beat it was strange in a way comforting , it felt like she was safe in his arms like she finally found her solace.

Riyaz did not want to question any further or pressure her instead he wrapped his arms tighter around her, her cologne engulfed his senses and somewhere at that moment Riyaz knew he actually fell for her, how he felt a weight on his chest like someone was tugging at his heart strings when he saw tears in her eyes.He ran his fingers through her sliky hair in an attempt to soothe her crying heart ,Her glassy eyes peaked through her lashes to look at him he grinned at her like a ray of sunshine his smile was beautiful, every thing felt eerily calm . All ever Riyaz has ever given to her till now was his irritated glares so it was a surprise for her to see him grinning at her,  she somehow showed her vulnerability to someone she despised and it's his pity grinning at her, he noticed how her eyes flickerd , pushing him " pretend that never happened " she stood up her cold demeanor back, he rolled his eyes at her " gosh why are women so complicated " dusting of his jeans he got up.
