THE HIDDEN HALF

Chapter 05 : He's here!

A/N

Before we start I just want to tell you guys that unlike my other ffs this story won't be a very long one. I'm still not very sure as to how many chapters I'll be writing but most probably it will be something around 20-30 chapters. But that still has a long way to go, right!

So, here we go with the next chapter. I hope you will like it...

*** CHAPTER 5 ***

No. No. No. This is not happening! This is impossible! How come is he standing in front of him? Is he Shlok? No, it can't be! But he looks exactly like him!

All sort of questions cloud his mind and Sahil almost loses his balance. He grips the nearest kitchen counter for support but his panic stricken face has easily given away his disbelief.

Sahil: (stutters) Who are you?

Vidhaan smiles as he saunters towards them and wraps his arms around Swara's shoulder. While doing so he makes sure to touch her in the least way possible but his hesitation goes unnoticed by Swara and for Sahil... he fumes in jealousy and rage. He follows all his movements incredulously and glares at his palm resting on Swara's shoulder. Straightening himself up he looks at Vidhaan as if challenging him.

Sahil: I asked... Who. Are. You?

Vidhaan: Oh! Don't you remember? Our companies are business partners.

Sahil: You're kidding me, right? You're not Shlok and we all know that.

Vidhaan: My parents know that I'm Shlok. Swara knows that I'm Shlok, so, I don't think I need to prove anything to you.

Sahil: (moving closer to him) How dare you lie to Swara?

Vidhaan: (looks at Swara and smiles) Swara, how about you go back to your room and take some rest. Meanwhile, Sahil and I can have some talk.

Swara: Sure!

Vidhaan: I'll see you in a few minutes.

Swara smiles and leans towards him. Vidhaan's heart skips a beat as she brings her lips closer to his ear, their cheeks slightly brushing against each other.

Swara: (whispers) If he irritates you, just call me back. I have always wanted to beat him to pulp but I never got a chance.

Vidhaan chuckles and nods his head slightly. Swara smiles playfully and leaves the kitchen but not before glaring at Sahil who by now is so infuriated that if one kill would have been spared, he would have already buried Vidhaan six feet under the ground.

Sahil: Do you really expect me to believe that you're Shlok?

Vidhaan: No, I don't. Honestly, I don't expect anything from you, not after seeing the way you behaved with my... wife a while ago. Now, if you could excuse me I need to go and check on her.

Sahil: I know you are not Shlok!

Vidhaan: Good for you. Whatever makes you sleep at night!

Sahil: I'm going to prove that you're lying.

Vidhaan: Oh! By all means, please go ahead.

Sahil: Look, I don't know who you are! But why are you even here? (holds Vidhaan's collar) You are not even her husband then why do you even bother about her.

Vidhaan: (holds Sahil's hand and jerks it away) I don't care what you think. She's my first priority and my responsibility, and I'm definitely not going back on that.
