The Warrior

Part 33

Veer grinned a little this time at the poor girl who thought she was getting emotionally cocooned...

Aarti saw his expressions enjoying at her... "Why grinning? Just laugh aloud"

Veer gave a broad smile "You think I will laugh at someone who has big horns?"

Aarti was already sick of herself and now he was all zoomed to make comprehensive amusement about her. So he thinks she has horns now...wow that was something new he came up with... "Then laugh at someone who loved a mutant"

"What?" he yelled this time and she took a long breathe with a smile of little conquest on her lips...

"Its ok, truth is always bitter Major Veer Oberoi, mutant" she said, this time laying on the bed of leaves....

Veer was no doubt glowering at her "only freaks can love mutants" he whispered coming a little closer to her ear...

Annoyingly she moved away "you're right, I was a freak...but anymore."

"So you don't love me anymore?" he giggled

That was very unusual for Aarti who rarely noticed this kind of sniggering "strange, people get sad hearing this and you're happy"

Veer gazed at her humorously for the first time...he wanted to hold her innocence forever in his eyes...how she can so easily lie to herself.

He recalled the first time when he saw her in college, no doubt he found her so much irritating and till now she must have changed or tried to change herself but her virtuousness did not change a mini...

That was the only thing no one could steal from her, the sparkle in her eyes, the love in her heart and constantly his thoughts in her mind. He chortled again... this time she glared at him...

Aarti on the other side, was now sure that Veer was making a fun at her expense...thinking she was a fool who loved him... she thought over, does she really not love him anymore? Well she has to slap herself if she says yes because she had enough of his insolence and once more if she falls in this ruse again he would keep mocking her around.

"People get sad but I am happy that a wild cat has finally stopped harassing me" he smirked at her...

She knew his sarcastic tunes will never end, even in this situation where she's so hungry and thirsty he is happy about her leaving him. How rude can this man be?

Aarti wanted to cry over her fortune...she loved this cruel man who was not at all bothered about her and on the other hand, Zora whom she hated wants to make her his wife...

Why does this happen with her. Why can't she get what all other girls get so easily?

Her sister married the love of her life. Her friend Sheetal married Sameer whom she loved from college days and now Kavita will marry Arjun soon... then why only her life has to become a catastrophe.

With sad face she closed her eyes... but then recollected what Veer just said few minutes back... She was harassing him...

"I was harassing you? It's Vice versa. Do you understand?" she said aloud

Veer wouldn't leave a chance today... he was anyways stuck in the jungle and why not keep talking to her so he can help eradicate her hunger for tonight "whatever Aarti... at least we both are happy now. No more harassing each other. Once its morning, you go your way and I will go my way."

Aarti was quiet in disbelief, how can he take everything so easily. Damn him, after tormenting her day and night now he's asking her to choose her way... fine "ok great. I will marry Zora then"

"Zora. Who's this unlucky man now?" Veer prompted

Aarti gulped the anger down her throat "he is dying to marry me. Not like you insulting me every time. And he's lucky that I will marry him"

She said boasting herself...

Veer was considerately gazing at her "wow...congratulations. Now I am completely relieved"

Aarti had enough of his cynical brashness "relieved?"

"Yes relieved of the fact that you now out of my way" he commented firmly then lay on the bed of leaves just next to her...

Both stared at the sky through the huge trees...

All she could see was the moonlight, little crusading of trees and rustling sounds of leaves nearby... life was really eccentric for her. Here she was lying on these leaves next to him, to the person whom she loves more than her own life.

But she keeps on refuting this fact. Actually the real truth.

But obviously after hearing such nice words for herself from his mouth how can she even think about him...he was so contented that she had chosen to marry that bastard Zora...

Aarti knew Veer never took her seriously and never confessed that he even liked her, and here she keeps on webbing her love life with this combatant.

Veer smiled a little thinking how stupid Aarti can be. He came all the way from Dehradun leaving his duties and daily tasks for this mademoiselle who was thinking of marrying some idiot fellow.

Time and again she keeps pissing him with one or another thing...why does she keep this ongoing jobs of irritating him.

How could she even think of wedding anyone, He wouldn't mind breaking the bones of her so called Zora. That's what his next mission will be.

Veer smirked at the fact that soon Aarti will have to end up hearing a lot of breaking of human bones and bloodshed around her but he wouldn't stop until she's out of danger.

He recalled her terrified face at the bus stand when she asked him to help her... he already made up his mind the same time to finish those ruffians...

"True...the only thing you are fond of is your job. Isn't it" she said looking at the moon

He came out of his brutal thoughts "Finally...you have started using your brains... good"

"Why don't you just leave?" she clenched her teeth

Veer took a deep breathe "I will, soon"

That was it... his one word makes her come into life and the other kills her as if someone stabbed in her heart numerous times with a big knife. Why does he always have to run from her?

Ever since her college days, he has been running away from her... she used to have an ardent feeling for him for always embracing him, kissing him but now she knows he loves his work, his country more than her. Plus she has already segregated her path... she would never come in his way anymore...once its morning she will go back home and marry that bastard... that is her destiny.

Veer knew he would never let Aarti look at any other man, forget about marriage. He decided to end this so called Zora chapter tomorrow morning and take her with him forever. He won't care if she keeps on getting grumpy, or making bad faces. It won't matter to him.

He discerned the statistic of her being away from his life can be safe for her... but no. He wouldn't let her stay away from himself anymore.

Well he was least concerned about what her mother or family thinks or what she thinks. He would simply grab her and take her with him.
