The Warrior

Part 16

Aarti's P.O.V

Oh my God...I have never felt him so close before. He's not leaving his hands off my waist. Take your hands away, I wanted to shout at him but then I wanted to move my hands from his strong shoulders into his hair.... And I did.

I fist my fingers in his hair. I still reacted as if I am scared, though I wasn't scared at all. But for some reason I didn't wanted to pull away.

I actually thought he will push me away but to my shock he hold me more tightly. Now I was sitting on his lap with knees folded and both my hands in his hair...

I opened one eye and looked at the headboard.

I really want to pull a little to look at his angry face. But if I do that he would instantly get to know that I am doing this drama of getting scared. His touch is tormenting me. What should I do...I won't kiss him...no way.

Should I stop this and get off his lap. The lizard must have gone by now. Why am I getting sad?

His hands are so strong. His hold is so tight, I really wanted to shout before but now I want him to touch me all over.

May be he thinks I want to stick to him...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Aarti pulled away adjusting herself out of his lap. Without looking at him she rolled on the other side of the bed putting a pillow in between.

Veer watched her actions then took over the sheet...he wouldn't bother to ask any questions.

"Don't cross this border" she looked at his back...

Without looking at her he angrily retorted back "I never look across the border. I only shoot my enemies"

She wanted to beat him, how could he retort to her like this "you are my enemy, understand. I can shoot as well"

This time Veer wanted to turn around and kick her out of his room.

He was about to turn when they heard the knock at the door...

"Aarti..." Rama whispered outside the door

Aarti got up from the bed .... And opened the door...

"Mom...what are you doing here?" Aarti surprisingly looked at her Mother from top to bottom...

Rama tried to peek inside the room "where are you sleeping?"

Aarti shook her head "please Mom...I am not a child"

"You are Aarti...let me see" Rama tried to move ahead but Aarti stopped her "don't you trust me"

Rama looked at her daughter "ok...but be careful"

Aarti couldn't believe her Mother's acting like a spy. She was about to lay on the bed when she saw Veer picking up the pillow and moving towards the couch.

"You don't have to sleep on the couch Veer"

"No need for your suggestions"

Tears gathered around her eyes...how will she make him understand? His anger has almost killed their relation. And on top of that her own Mother has played a nice role. She was pissed off with everyone.

Veer doesn't consider her anything in his life. She remembered her days in college. Then she thought of telling him that she lied...he never did wrong ...no if she does this. He will surely kill her for lying. Her relation started on a lie.
