OBSESSED

"I don't understand kirti.....what is going inside his head!!!!! Gosh!!! I just wish he leaves me alone." Naira said anxiously, scared to even mention about Narasimha Varma. Kirti nodded, totally aware of her best friend's conundrum.
"Naira take my advice, inform your parents about what he's been doing since past couple of days. Believe me he'll keep on terrorising you if you won't involve your parents in this matter. He's not a good man Naira and to be honest, he scares me." Kirti advised her wisely. Naira looked at her nervously.
"I want to kirti but I am scared of his temper. He's bipolar you know. I can't risk my family's lives." she told her softly. Kirti sighed.
"But Naira you can't let him blackmail you in this fashion. I am telling you he's not what he seems like. Before things get out of hand, tell your family. They'll handle this man." kirti urged. Naira closed her eyes and drew in a breath.
"It's not as easy as it sounds. Kirti he is a very unpredictable man. You know he has helped my family a lot and if I go against him, he might send my brother to prison, remember his brother-in-law is the superintendent of police. And how can you forget he was the one who kidnapped me and then brought me back to my family, without asking for anything in return. I don't want to be kidnapped again.....i don't want to share same house with him. I know if I won't obey him he'll try something that would definitely harm me and my family. I am stuck. I don't want him around me but I have no choice." she told her sadly. Kirti placed her hand on her shoulder.
"I can understand dear. But we have to figure a way out of here. You can't continue to be scared by him and his actions. You know what, next time when you meet him you clearly lay before him your concerns and tell him firmly that you don't want him around you and that he should stay away from you and your family."
"And what would happen next??? Do you think I can bear the consequences of it?" Naira interposed.
"To hell with the consequences Naira, it's already a do or die kinda situation for you. You must try this out. And we'll see what happens after that. Who knows he might get the hint and decides to leave for good!!!" Kirti motivated her. Naira looked at her speculatively. The idea seemed nice though it might not yield the desirable outcome. However kirti was right, she must try. She should do everything in her capacity to make him realise that he's not welcomed in her life.

Kirti had left for her home since she had some work in the bank. Naira was waiting for somebody in her family to come pick her up. Nilima was out of town for some business work and Neil was not allowed to drive any vehicle. And her father was in a meeting with the Commissioner. So she was waiting if it's her grandfather or someone else who comes to fetch her. Suddenly, a sleek black BMW pulled up right next to her, taking her by surprise. She expected Narasimha to be behind the wheel but instead she saw a middle aged man with a plump face on the driver's seat. The man bowed to her in respect and said nothing. Within a second she heard her phone ringing and no surprises, it was the man himself....The Narasimha Varma. With shaking hands she answered the phone.
"He...llo!!" she stuttered.
"Sit inside the car and come straight to me." that's all he said and it felt more like an order. Naira gulped.
"Let me ask my parents first..."
"Either you're doing what I tell you to do or Neil won't be out in the open air for long. I hope you understand......Now be a good girl and come straight to me, I am waiting." he said with a voice brooking no denial. She knew she had no choice so she quietly slipped into the backseat, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.

The driver dropped her at his mansion within 15 minutes. She had lived inside his bungalow in Kerela but she had came in this mansion for the first time. Maybe he had purchased it recently. The lady was already waiting for her outside the door and she ushered her into the mansion. The mansion was beautiful but his bungalow in Kerela was far more prettier. For Narasimha this mansion was a temporary residence, he surely wasn't going to live his entire life in Mumbai. He was here to get closer to Naira and her family, once he and Naira get married, he'll return to Kerela with her. The lady took her into his room. She rapped at the door and gestured her to go in after she heard him say 'Come in'. Naira went inside and found him standing right before the bed, waiting for her. He smiled sweetly, admiring her from a distance.
"Good afternoon my love. How are you??" he asked, beaming broadly. Naira was uncomfortable with how he greeted her.
"Um....I am fine. Why did you call me here??" she asked hesitantly. Narasimha chuckled.
"I just wanted to spend some time with you. I was missing you." he said with a simper. Naira gave him a confused look.
"But the way you threatened me into coming here.....i thought something was quite urgent." she spoke softly. Narasimha's smile dropped.
"Ofcourse it is urgent Naira.......i was missing you and I wanted to see you. What is not urgent in this???" he asked, eyes clouding with passion. Naira quietly took a step back.
"No Mr. Varma this is not important at all besides.....i think you should stop visiting us and I also think that you should leave me and my family alone. It's better for all of us." she told him, legs shivering.
