Sweet Surrender

●Amara●

Advik didn't come last night true to his word and just dropped a text that he might not be home today too, and he has restricted me from work. I mean, under normal circumstances, he would have been kicked by me for ordering me like that, but now a days, my life is everything but normal.

Yeah, I had stalkers and creepy toxic people in the past, but nothing was this serious, that my apartment would have suffered.

Vanya's flight was early morning, which miracly I woke up to drop her off. She was hesitant in leaving me alone, but I convinced her, and ultimately, she flew off.

So, I am lying on the couch with Kashish because it's Sunday, and we have nothing better to do. Her summer vacations are also starting soon, and on top of that, we are so damn lazy to even move an inch now.

"Di, you want ice cream? Which flavor?" She asked, picking up her phone.

"Chocolate. And who is bringing?" I asked.

"Arjun bhai." She answered and spoke in the phone.

True to her words, Arjun was here in 10 minutes with mouth-watering and creamy ice creams.

"What are you guys watching?" He asked, handing us the ice creams.

"Pacific Rim: The uprising." I answered.

"Wow, I love that movie, may I join?" He asked.

"Yeah, come on." I said, and we all were lazily lying on the couch when his phone rang.

"Darn this boss, I can't even watch a movie properly." He muttered grimly. I chuckled.

"Yes, boss." He said on the cell.

"Okay, okay, see ya." He said and cut the call.

"Kashish, he reminded me to drop you off to your dance class in the evening, and Amara asked if you were alright or not." Arjun informed.

"Oops, I totally forgot about the dance class. Do I seriously need to go?" She asked sadly.

"Yes, you need to go and have fun." I said.

"And who is he, a mother hen? Always asking if I am alright or not? Of course I am alright, I am not more fragile." I said to Arjun, who chuckled.

"Di, I am tired. I am going to bed." Kashish spoke and got up.

"Goodnight, sweetie." I said, and she went to her room.

"So, Arjun Shekhawat." I said, turning to him. I am in the mood to interrogate him a little.

"You sound like Advik when he knows that I did something bad." He said laughing.

"Vanya vaguely remembered hearing your name somewhere it shouldn't have been." I said casually.

"And and, you were also hitting on her, I saw with my own two eyes." I said, smirking.

"I admit, I was trying to get with her, but she repelled all my charms and looks." He said, sighing.

"Vanya won't ever fall for your charms and tricks." I said laughing.

"Then tell me what should I do? You are like my sister. Pleasee." He pleaded.

"Then what will this sister get?" I asked him teasingly.

"Anything she wants." Arjun said with a wink, and I laughed. He was the easy going type one, he told me many things about Advik, teased me like Vanya and we talked and laughed and before we knew it was evening and Kashish came down yawning and ready to head out.

"Let's go, monkey. I will drop you on my way." Arjun said, getting up.

"Okay." She said.

"Ayeee, don't be sad. If it helps, I will come and pick you up." I said, and she grinned.

"Ahh, you are never this excited for me, I feel betrayed." Arjun fakely gasped.

"Again, this dramebaaz started. Let's go, bhai, we are getting late." She said, rolling her eye, and they both went out.

I was in the kitchen because my stomach started growling, demanding food instantly, I picked a bag of chips and went to sit in front of the TV again. I switched on a horror movie, I am a big fan, suddenly a shadow came in my sight. I thought that I might be imagining things, but then that person started walking towards me, and I realised that it was Advik, shot on shoulder again, and his hands and face were covered with blood.

"Holy Shit, Advik." I shouted and stood up. He was stumbling, so I immediately rushed to aid him. Ultimately, he sat on the couch with great difficulty and my help, of course.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked.

"Got shot in a fight." He said with heavy breaths.

"Okay, first you need to breathe. In. Out. In. Out." I directed him and after a minute, his breath got stabilised.

I jumped up and ran to the kitchen to get the first aid box, I saw when I was hunting for the chips. I sat in front of him on the centre table while he was looking at me skeptically. I slowly helped him in removing his white shirt which was now blood red, I got a clean cloth too, wet one. Gently moped his body before applying the ointment, what I didn't see that the bullet was still in there.

"Advik, the bullet is still there? What the actual shit were you doing? I thought you were on a business trip." I said angrily. Since, I have met him, he has been shot twice, attacked twice and one open warning, what in the world does this man actually do?

I slowly and carefully remove the bullet, yes I know how to, I have been trained. I don't know about him, but whole time my heart was aching for him, I am a very soft person in real and right now I am bubbling with anger at this asshole who puts himself in danger again and again.

After I was done with the bandaging and stuff, I put them aside and sat in front of him, glaring at him. He just sighed.

"Do you have a hobby or anything, always getting shot at. At this rate, you will soon become Thakur from Sholay that too with no shoulders." I said without thinking. He again doesn't response, has he taken an oath too, that he will turn mute soon?

"I have been talking and shouting from minutes. Are you gonna open your mouth, or should I get an auspicious time for you to do that?" I asked now truly and utterly angry.

He still didn't say anything. Instead, he bent forward, grabbed my neck from behind, and crashed his lips to mine. Oh, the fuck. I was in a state of pure shock, unable to do anything or speak anything, as if the touch of his lips has transported me some where else.
