Anjali pov :-

The vedio started to play ,I inhaled deeply. My dad was sitting on the chair reading newspaper. I skiped and played it. I see my dad still reading news paper but his head snapped towards the person who was standing in front of him. Almost twenty men  surrounded him. I couldn't hear what where they talking . That man was facing his back to camera so I couldn't see his face.

They argued for some time. Then suddenly the man in front my dad pointed gun at him. My dad laughed as it is some kind of joke. But the man shot my dad  three times .my dads lifeless body fell on the ground . Then they all started to run, I could see few men where shot. Then Arjun and his men came running into backyard.
But the man who shoots my dad manages to escape.

Arjun stood near by dad looking at him. A moment later I walked in to backyard.

I paused the video and closed it wiping off my tears.

what I was thinking this whole time was a lie. I accused arjun for something he hasn't done. He didn't even defend himself. For unknow reason I was relived that Arjun didn't killed my father.

Then I remembered what my dad said in my dream.
"Remember... Whatever you see through your eyes is not true, sometimes our eyes can betray us "

is this what he meant?

But I couldn't see that person's face who shot my father. Who might it be?. May be Arjun know who it is...

"no,  leave me ".. My thoughts were broke by arjuns yells.
"no leave me. Riyaaaa" . He was shouting.  I ran towards the sound.

He was shouting in his sleep, sweating profuseingly.
"no, no .... Riya". He was shaking vigorously,his breath is uneven . He is having a nightmare. I ran to him.

"Arjun wake up ".. I patted his cheeks trying to wake him up. But he continued to yell out the name riya.
I shaked him holding his shoulders.
"Arjun wake up. It's me Anju. Wake up ". His eyes wide open . He stared at me and I saw something that I haven't seen in his eyes  till now.

Fear

I saw fear in his eyes. He held my hands in a flick he pulled on the bed and he came on top of me. He buried his face in my chest, hugging me from my  waist he slept again. His breath was even now.

God he is heavy as hill.

Hulk

I tried to wake him up but it didn't work. I tried to roll him off but no.
It's was like ant vs hulk fight. After trying so many times. I gave up and tried to make my self comfortable in this uncomfortable position.

It's going to be long night I thought to my self. Who is riya?.  Why is he telling her name?.
God, how many secrets do you have Arjun?. I questioned him of course he can't hear me. Thinking about these things I slept.

I was woken up by gentle pats on my cheeks. I opened my eyes to see Arjun looking at with concern. I tried to get up but ended up hissing in pain.

"are you okay ". He questioned me in soft tone. I just nodded and tried to get up again ended up in winching in pain.

" I'm so sorry angel. I don't remember how did I end up in sleeping on you. But Why didn't you wake me up ?". He questioned helping to sit.

"I tried. But you didn't budge. "I told him massaging my back.

God it's hurts...

"your body must be paining right?. I'm so sorry "..he said feeling guilty. I just nodded and again tried to get up but arjun scooped me in his arms.

"you are in this condition because of me. So let me take the responsibility. ".with that he started walking. His hands touching my bare thighs giving me some weird feelings.

"where are you taking me" I questioned as he made his way to the front door.
"we are going to our home ". He said and placed me in the car. He turned around walking back to the door, he locked it,came back and handed key to me.
"I know how much this house mean to you ".he said and slided in driver seat.
Placing his hand on my thigh and started driving .

The drive was too silent too much for my liking  . So I tried to start a conversation.

"how did you know that I was here". I questioned him. He turned to for two seconds "I have tracker installed in our wedding ring ". He said and turned to road again.  I was shocked, I glanced at my wedding ring but didn't figure out how can anyone install a tracker in a ring.

The rest of the drive was silent because I didn't needed any other shock so I didn't talk to him. We reached our house. Before I got down Arjun came to my side picking me up in his arms.

All his men bowed their heads.
He took me inside the house. But one men looked straight into me and winked at me with mischief smile. It's non-other than kunal. Only he had that guts to wink at me that to in presence of Arjun.

He Placed me on the floor once we reached our room.
"stay here ". He said more like ordered to me. He went inside our closet and brought cloths.

"take a warm shower you will feel better ". He said handing me ,my cloths. I nodded and got into shower.
It was relaxing my sore muscles.

He had gave me skirt and top. I put them on and walked downstairs to living room where Dhruv, kunal ,arjun,and sadie were already seated.

Arjun turned towards me when he sensed my presence . He signaled me to sit beside him. I did as he told.

"Angel,here is the CCTV footage of my office". He said and turned laptop screen towars me.
Yeah I  almost forgot about that.

The footage showed that they weren't actually kissing. Just their nose's were touching. I sighed in relief.

"this is all because of me Anju. I should have confessed my feelings earlier but I didn't. So they pulled this fake stunt on .which gave me a heart attack to me." Dhruv said placing his hand on his chest and making fake pained face.

Sadie smack his playfully . "if you wouldn't have proposed  me after this stunt, I would have made the  real stunt with someone else ". She said with smirk.

"not a chance. I wouldn't let have let that happen ". With that he gave a peck on her lips for which she blushed.
But what caught my attention is hurt feeling in kunal eyes when dhruv kissed sadie.

Okay what was that??
