Arranged to my hater

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Chapter 38:

I was on my second glass of wishey which Abhimanyu ordered for me again and since it was something I liked I let him. I look at the glass of Margarita siting on the side with a grumpy expression, it's not like the drink is bad it just I don't like my drinks with mixers and I can't understand how Abhimanyu knows that, we have never had this conversation but I am glad he ordered this for me.

I can feel the heat radiating off of Abhimanyu and it has been effecting ever since the near kiss moment we had just minutes ago or was it hours? It definitely feels like he has been sitting at a distance from me since than with his jaw tightly clenched.

"Let's play something" Suresh says out of know where.

"You know na Suresh that we are not some college kids. And anyways who plays in a place like this where we can hardly hear each other." Khyati replied and I agree with her.

"I just said this to start a conversation, everyone has been sitting quietly. By this time we usually go and try our luck with girls."

"I think a game is a good idea to break the ice that's freezing on this table." Vedh added.

"I hope you freeze with that ice." Khayti says with an intention of being loud. There is for sure a history here or maybe even chemistry. I am definitely talking to her about this once we are alone.

"What do you propose?" everyone was as shocked as me listening to Abhimanyu. He wants to play a game with everyone.

"Let's play never have I ever." Vedh suggested to which everyone agreed. And since it was too loud in the common area where we were currently sitting. Abhimanyu asked the waiter to move us to VIP area where we can play the game like we are bunch of college going kids.

"Why are you doing this?" I cornered Abhimanyu when everyone left for the VIP room. I was really confused with whatever he was doing here since evening. I know we have been behaving normal with other since I started working for Abhimanyu but today his behaviour is completly different. All the subtle touches and looks he has been giving from the time he arrived here is a proof that something is definately wrong.

"Doing what?"

"This entire evening and than agreeing to playing games and all. I know you don't do these things."

"Don't you want to play the game Ishita?"

"That's not the question"

"I know, and I will answer your question but answer mine first."

"I don't mind playing these games to get to know these people better."

"Exactly, why I am playing"

"To get to know these people"

"No, to get to know you" saying this he left but I can see him glancing at me from his shoulders with every step he takes forward to make sure I am following him. And I wanted to stop following him just to see what he'll do if I don't and I do exactly that. I halt in my steps and notice and not a second passed before he was moving in my direction.

"Are you okay? Why did you stop? You don't want to play? We can leave if you want. Ishita speak just tell me what happened..." Abhimanyu kept on throwing question in my direction and I was too shocked? Surprised? I don't know but he sounded worried and that for some reason spread warmth in my heart. And I just start laughing which makes him stop with all his questions and look at me with puzzled look. Like I have cracked my head or something.

"Okay, why are you laughing now?" he said streching the okay a bit.

"Nothing, I just enjoyed messing with you. Come let's go everyone must be waiting" as soon as the words left my lips his entire demeanour changed and he was visibly relaxed with a look of adoration in his eyes. As soon as I took a step forward there was a sudden push from the crowd which made me lose my balance and crash on him chest to chest. And my breath hitches with the closeness and all the feelings that I pushed down earlier, they were back now with full force. He looked at him like he wanted to kiss and maybe I was looking at him with I-beg-you-to-kiss-me eyes.

"And here I thought you guys were lost on your way only to find you lost in each other." Vedh's voice startles both of us. I take a step back with a completely red face and Abhimanyu just looks at Vedh with a pissed off expression and slap him on the head.

"Ouch, I just came here to check on you guys and here I am being abused."

"Stop being and drama queen, let's go."

This time Abhimanyu didn't leave me behind but held my hands and lead me to VIP room. And I know why he didn't do that before because we were not alone and he didn't want people to know I am his wife. But he wanted you write your name as Ishita Saxena. Little voice in my head said which I ignored. Things might have been good between us but I cannot be the fool to think of it as something else when he made it clear in the start that I am nothing but a person he hates. He might be talking to me nicely and having lunches and dinners with me but I have seen his hate and that kind of hate is not something which cannot be easily replaced.
