Kya Yhi Pyaar Hai?

DEAL

KIARA'S POV
CHAPTER-15

How can someone look so heavenly will cleaning a mother board? This guy even if he wears rags I would still swoon over him. With his rolled up sleeves till elbow and first three button of his dress shirt makes him look sinely handsome.

Swastik is what you call perfection. How I wish I can hide him from every woman's gaze.

My fist subconsciously tightened as I thought about the way Olivia was staring at my future-to-be man. That woman is seriously getting on my nerves. Though she is my so called senior I wouldn't mind punching her if she made him uncomfortable once more.

"If you are done with work then leave" Swastik said Without glancing up
"Nah" I tsked
"Then stop swinging your legs like that" As he said I stopped swinging my legs
I am sitting on the table, my legs dangling down.

I have completed my share of work and now I am waiting for him so that we could eat lunch together. Almost the whole floor is empty now as many have left their work for food. But this gentleman here wishes to first complete his work them eat.

This quality to swastik is one of those that I love. His passion for what he does makes my want to admire him even more. The way he talked to costumers here so professionally yet politely is worth taking notes about.

Half an hour passed by like that. When I saw him struggling with assembling I thought to ask him if he needs help. But didn't because I know he might snap and I also know his ego is too big to ask for help. So, I searched my head for some idea and that's when my eyes lit up with an idea.

"Mm swatik do you how to de-bug this?" I asked after few minutes
"De-bug what?" He asked
"This laptop here has virus" I said turning the laptop his way

He stood up from his place and checked on the laptop
"This seems tricky. Looks like ke ye kisi illegal website se attach hua hai" he said
Hoga kyu nhi it took me months to make it.
"Yeah I know. But well leave it I know ki tujhse nhi hoga" I said taking the laptop back

He snatched the laptop back from me and glared at me. Keeping the laptop at side he cagged me between his arms.
Fuck. How I had imagined this so many times while reading novels. He brought his face dangerous close to mine, his eyes burning hole in mine but I didn't looked away.

"What's with you and underestimating me?" He asked though his voice low but I can still hear the edge in it.
I felt my heart hampering in my chest. My throat turned dry because of proximity, making me gulp hard. I can feel my breath getting shallow and hard.

"I love to challenge you. It gives me thrill" I said mentally patting my back for not stuttering
He chuckled humorlessly
"And why is that?" He asked
"Just something about the thought of defeating you" I said

He looked deeply inside my eyes as if looking my soul. I wish he could see how his being has consumed me whole.
He scoffed and stepped away.

I inhaled a deep breath
"What would I get if I win?" He asked but from the tone of it I can hear he didn't just meant about de-bugging. He was referring to the time of debate where I indirectly challenged his ability of being good at anything except studies.
"Whatever you wish" I said shrugging my shoulder
"Whatever I wish?" He asked raising a brow

I so hope he asks for something like a kis-
I nodded my head not trusting my tongue.
"This year at Utsav perform anything you can" I said jumping down the table
He run a finger through his hair.
"You like attention na so if I win you will get your hair dyed red" he said smirking

"Deal" I said without even thinking how bad my hairs might look.
He nodded his head.
"I will look into this laptop" he said taking the laptop

"Okay so let me assemble the cpu" I said pulling my sleeves up
"You know how to do that?" He asked
"I might not be that serious in academic but my love for gadgets is nothing you should hold doubt about" saying that I walked to the table where a disembled cpu was.

Throughout the time I worked on cpu. I could feel him constantly glancing at me but I didn't react. It feels good to see that he is atleast curious about something that I do.

I fixed my hairs once more before clicking a mirror selfie and send it to Jaanvi and Tany. Not even a second later my phone buzzed with a video call.

"10 rupee ki Pepsi tu lg rhi hai sexy" they both shouted as soon as I picked up the call
"Seriously?" I asked
Balancing my phone on a table, I twirled around.

"Arey shi mai" Tany exclaimed
"You are looking gorgeous k" jaanvi said
Giving them flying kisses, I sat on the bed.

"Yaro ye sab toh thik hai but what should I do. He is not going to gala with me" I said in a sad tone
"Toh with whom you both are going?" Jaanvi asked
"Ahad and I and swastik with that leech Olivia" I answered scoffing at last

"Ahad. The same one I am thinking about" Tany asked
I nodded
Ahad's name is quite infamous in campus. He is said to a walking trouble.
I had see him campus before but never really had any interaction with him  before today morning.

Folks in campus said that he is not that much friendly in nature but when I talked to him all I saw was a very awkward person.

I walked inside the building straightening my pants. I had opted for a designer formal suit today. I had wished to wear skirt but then Tany adviced it would be inconvenient.

I spotted Ahad near reception as usual he was wearing whole black suit. I can never understand his obsession with black whenever I have seen him even in campus he was wearing black.
"Ahad" I called him.
He looked at me in daze.

When he didn't said anything I snapped my fingers in front of his eyes.
He looked away rubbing his neck.
"Kiara" I forwarded my hand trying to break the ice
"Uh oh umm A-Ahad" he stuttered nervously. He hesitantly took my hand in his and shook it vigorously.

I looked at him in amusement. Leaving my hand he looked here and there.
I chuckled at him.
"How long has it been since you are standing here?" I asked
"Not long" he said

"And Olivia?" I asked
"I am not her PA to know her where ab-" he stopped mid way
"I don't know" he said nodding at himself

"Okay then let's wait for both of them in lounge" I said
He hummed in response
We both walked to the lounge and sat there.

After few minutes Olivia came, which seemed to somehow piss him to the core. Maybe because of the way she was trying to stick to him.

I heard a knock on my door.
"Bye guys looks like it's time to go" I said bidding them bye
I went upto the door and opened it.
As expected Ahad was standing there. This time too clad in a different black suit.

I took a step out and closed the door behind. As I turned back to him suddenly a rose came in my view.
I looked at Ahad flabbergasted.
Hesitantly taking the rose from him I thanked him.
Now where do I keep this? I thought in my head.
