Mysterious Oberoi

26

"Would you mind dancing with me?" He inquired, his orbs staring at me with curiosity. "I won't bite you if that's what you're thinking about," he justified as he extended his hands towards me. I was going to deny but the interruption from Mr Oberoi made me to change my plans.

"She isn't interested," he answered in behalf of me.

"It would be better if you let her decide," Mr Chopra commented displaying his annoyance towards the individuals he claimed as his friend. Mr Oberoi arms got wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer towards him. "We don't want another girl to run away getting afraid of your dominant nature," he muttered passing Mr Oberoi a mocking smile.

"So, what's your decision?" Mr Chopra had full confidence in himself as he extended his hands towards me once again. I passed him hesitating smile.

"Hadn't I made it clear..." Before Mr Oberoi could complete, I interrupted him.

"I would love too," I passed a smile in Tanmay's direction. Putting my palms in his, his lips turning into a broad smile as if he had won a trophy. His orbs averting to Mr Oberoi for a moment before dragging me along with him into the dance floor. A soft melody was playing in the background, I kept my hands on his broad shoulder. It felt as if everyone over here was taller than me. He passed a sweet smile as he wrapped his arms around my waist, keeping enough space between us.

"Aren't you afraid of the lion staring at us with pure rage?" Tanmay Chopra almost chuckled glancing in the direction.

"You aren't afraid of him as well," I commented not desiring to answer his question. It really amused me, there were only few individuals who weren't intimidated by Mr Oberoi's presence. Tanmay Chopra was one of those few individuals.

"We share a past," he commented. "I knew him years before he turned into the famous Mr Oberoi," he continued. "His frame, his power don't intimate me because I know the person behind that facade."

"You're his childhood friend?" I inquired, a person that was aware about his childhood. His mysterious past! "Why had you teamed with Mayur to harm him? To attack..." I kept it incomplete. I had my doubts about who their target was! His curious gaze were fixed on me. For some unknown reason, he was amused by my every action. He found me funny! I groaned at the thought of it!

"I know him from childhood, I did considered him as my friend." He paused, that beautiful smile fading for a minute. "But for him I wasn't! He kept his distance, he was always like that! Than he did something which made me realise, he could never be my friend." I stared at him in interest, what had he done? I wanted to know!

"What had he done?" I inquired, his orbs had turned hard, orbs fuming in rage. The anger, frustration, annoyance that he hide behind his charming smile, friendly nature. At this moment I felt intimated by the human standing before me. He was different from the conclusion I had arrived onto. He was dangerous, very dangerous.

"He had separated me from someone who was dear to me," he was gritting his teeth. Attempting hard to hide the rage fuming inside him. "And I have planned to take his source of life from him." A devil smirk formed on his lips. I shivered at the slight of the monster luking inside him.

"You're going to kill him?" I couldn't help myself from sounding stunned. He wanted to kill Mr Oberoi? That was wrong! Killing anyone was wrong!

"Killing him won't kill him," Tanmay Chopra swing me around, making me realise that we were on the dance floor. I was turned in a way that I was facing the audience, his back touching me. Numerous couples were dancing on the floor. My orbs coming and stopping on Mr Oberoi, he stood in the corner. His orbs locked on me, his black orbs were staring at me straight. Fuming in rage, annoyance yet I didn't found him dangerous. I was intimated by him the manner the person beside me was scaring me. "But killing someone close to his heart would, harming the person on whom his life depends would destroy him."
