Misha POV

I walk back home from the office, today was just so tiring, much more than I had expected.
I walk inside and while walking towards my room, In front of Bhaiya's room I heard him talking on the phone in a hushed way.

"Come on Anu.... yeah I know but right now is not the best time , don't you .. yeah yes ... but don't forget what he did, I hate him a lot and him being your brother makes it even harder for me to accept this.. ok plz just stop taking his side .. no no .. I will talk to u later you are definitely not ready to listen to me"
And then bhaiya cut his call. I saw him move and sit on the armchair and stare into his phone. His back was to me so he didn't see me and I could see on his phone. It was the picture of some girl. I am guessing this the"Anu" he was just talking to.

"I love you" I heard him whisper and stroke the picture with his finger.

Love??? Bhaiya loves this girl... but none of us knew that he liked someone .. rather loved?!

Not wanting to pry more I left towards my room. After freshening up I laid down on the bed but couldn't sleep.

He came closer and closer ..
his dark eyes making me tense
I never knew him like this
Never knew he was capable of this
His hand touched my shoulder and all my thoughts vanished
I shouted in my mind but I knew this had to be done
Had to be done ...
His hand went down my back and pulled me closer ... I'm disgusted more by myself rather than by his actions
His warm breath on my cheek heated my body, my mind, my thoughts
'No! Not anymore' my heart raced, my body was warm and sweaty .. utter fear consumed me ... no no no!

"No!" I screamed and suddenly woke up. My face was wet with sweat, my heart racing rapidly.

I looked at the bedside watch, it said 3:44 am. I laid back but sleep didn't touch my eyes at all. I haven't seen him ever since that night. He, who has made me fall in my own eyes... I hate you.. I hate you Vivan!

Third person POV
**in the morning**

"Di! Di! Get up.. chalo get up" Priya came and hugged Misha while she was still in bed.

"Priya.. please not now!" Misha whined.

"Adi bhaiya ... pull it" Priya whispered to her cousin Adi, and the cool air touched Misha's entire body which was bundled up in the warmth of the blanket.

"No more excuses Di.. today you promised shopping, so get up and get ready" Priya said giggling and teasing Misha along with Adi.

Misha came out of the steaming bath trying to forget her nightmare. Trying to forget the most dreadful night of her life.

She stood in front of the mirror combing her hair. Her actions were here but her mind wasn't. Staring at her long hair, her lips, her hands, herself.. she only felt his lips on these. It was her anymore she felt like, she felt tainted, tainted by his words, by his lies.

Trying to be strong she got ready and moved out to find Priya and Adi.
Together they went to the nearest mall, Priya was laughing all the time which made Misha feel a little better. With her cousins, she always forgot about the horrid thing.

As they were coming out of the food court, Adi smashed with someone and all his bags fell down.
" sorry .." Misha said to the guy but stopped. Her breathing quickened and her heartbeat raised.
Was this also a nightmare .. yes it has got to be one. She blinked again and again, but the dream didn't break. So it was real she thought.

"Oh, Vivan.. sorry didn't see you," adi said in a clipped tone. He didn't hate Vivan but the way Vivan treated the business and sidelined everyone made Adi dislike him.

Priya was confused, she had heard about Vivan the evil business partner but had last seen him when she was a young teenager, he had changed since then.

"It's ok" his husky voice touched Misha's ears, the same one that laughed at her helplessness. She closed her eyes hoping he would disappear but obviously he didn't.

"Let's go Guys, there is no need to talk to strangers" she said in an angry voice shocking Adi and Priya. Even though there was a rivalry between him and their family, they hadn't expected her to get so angry.

"Oh come one Ms. Misha, enemies yes but not strangers! You are well aware of our exact relationship no need to remind you, right?" He smirked at her.

"Yes I am very well aware, Mr. Vivan. But in case you have forgotten, The sachdevas are the major shareholders the company so better not raise your voice or cross your limits" she got angry. Everything she faced, fuelled her anger. His friendship, his lies, his betrayal, his assault.. everything.

"Enough guys break it off" adi jumped in. " we are leaving, let's go" he tried his best not to shout back at Vivan and took his sisters away from him.

After they reached home, none discussed the encounter, it was all forgotten from the top but not from their minds.
