Aarohi pov

"But then I wanted to know what is so special about that girl. I too saw her then I wanted her." He said smiling creepily at me.

One brother went now one more. Why me?

"We both will get married. Your friend here helped me a lot. I am sure she will help you with everything. Get ready we will be getting married. Soon." He said this and went out.

Then his face was replaced by his brother Vedanth.

"I won't let you go." He was coming towards me.

I woke up drenched with sweat. It took few seconds for me to realise that I am not there in that house. I have escaped from that nightmare. It was not a nightmare. It was the reality I faced. I acted all strong there but here my facade shattered. Why me? I didn't do anything. I was just living my life minding my own business. I was not talking to many people.

I didn't date at all. I was just in my own world living my life and reaching my goals. But these people entered my life and made it a hell. Or worst than that.

I turned towards Atharva to see him sleeping like a baby. He gave me hope about men. Not all men are bad but these kind of problems are created by men. I hope all the parents instead of teaching the girl to dress properly and warning us about the cruel world, they could teach the boys to look at girls with respect. I know world wouldn't change in one day. But I hope one day it would change.

I hope everyone find a person like Atharva. He accepted me the way I am without any complaints nor asking me to change. He came like a storm and cleared all the bad things in my life. More than that he thought me to love myself. And he gave me the world and expected nothing in return.

Without disturbing him I went outside the balcony and stood near the railing looking at the sky.

This whole sky consisting of the moon and stars comforts everyone. I don't know with me how many people are fighting an invisible battle. Those people stay strong the whole day. And open their wounds in the night. I think that's the only time they can heal. Without facing anyone's judgement. Everyone deal with the pain in different way. It's not very easy to get through this incident.

I was so lost in the thoughts that I didn't feel his presence until he touched my hand and brought me out of the black hole I was falling. He didn't say anything and just stood there with me. Then he pulled me towards the a swing which was there. Only one person can sit in that. He sat and made me sit on his lap.

"I will tell you a secret. But don't tell this to anyone." He asked suddenly.

"What is it ?" I asked curious to know about it.

"I am a fan of Disney. " After that he stared at me and I stared at him. Then I started laughing. After laughing so much I wiped my tears which had escaped.

"Are you sure you are mafia leader ?"

" What? Don't look at me like that. Is there any rule that I should not watch Disney if I am in mafia or something ? No right." He said. I was just looking at his face. He was making weird faces getting offended. I pulled his cheeks with my hands. Because he was looking very cute at that moment.

He swatted my hand and glared at me. But I started laughing. Again. After I stopped he was just staring at me.

"I know it's not easy what you faced. But you can talk about it with me. It will be better once you share it with me. I won't pressure you to say but just know I will be there with you." He said and wiped my tears which has started flowing without my consent. Traitor.

I kept my head on his shoulder and thought about it. I know now I am not ready to talk. After listening everything i know Atharva's emotion will be high and mine too. And the situation may get out of hand. I am just finding a reason to avoid talking about it now.

He was just caressing my head. It was like a lullaby and I fell asleep on his shoulder.

Next morning when I woke up we both were in the swing lightly swinging. I stood up and stretched my body a little. It was uncomfortable as fuck. I don't even know how I slept there. Even though it's cute I am not doing this again. After few minutes he woke up and was staring ahead blankly. I went towards him and waved my hand in front of his face. He didn't respond and was staring as though he is being possessed.

Then he stood and came towards me. He was walking towards me like the ghosts in movies. I started running inside getting scared. He too came behind me. He then pinned me to a wall.

I got scared and started chanting all the gods name I know.

"Om namah shivaya." I was chanting this mantra hoping that whatever has possessed him would go away.

Then he started laughing loudly. I then saw him. He was on the ground and laughing holding his stomach. I rolled my eyes at him. He then stood up and came towards me.

"You should have seen your face." Then again he started laughing at me. He then started mimicking me saying 'om namah shivaya'.

"I should have recorded it. It would be a nice video." He was grinning at me and I was getting very annoyed. I slapped his shoulder and tried to go to bathroom.

"Hey don't be angry now. It was funny." He said pouting at me. This guy if he behaves like this I won't be angry at him at all.

"Don't do that "

"What pout?" Then he started pouting more and showed me puppy dog eyes.

"Stop. You look ridiculous." He was looking cute. But his ego his already bigger than the planet Jupiter so I said the opposite.

Then his phone started ringing. He took his phone and went outside the balcony to talk. I took that as my cue to leave and started getting ready for the day. After that we both went down and had breakfast with everyone. It was silent without any noise except for the sound of utensils.

Then Atharva took us to a room. It was a like a conference room. Everyone sat around the table and he sat in the head chair.

"Aarohi I know it will be difficult to speak about it. But can you please briefly say what happened in your point. " He requested me and reassured me with his eyes.

Then I started explaining everything and all were listening to me attentively. Atharva was very angry. I could make out through his body movement.

After I completed my story he turned towards my father. He was very nervous to look in my direction. I hope whatever he says will not be bad....
