I know I am really late with this update but I have been too tired lately; I would write a portion of the update and then fall asleep with the laptop still on and in my lap. Even now, I woke up early than the usual time because I have a seminar to attend. Life sucks when you become a part of a very cruel university. *sighs*.

Following is the next chapter, I hope you'll enjoy that.

Sahir couldn't handle it anymore. He was finding it very hard to control himself while Maya posed for the fashion photo shoot. Why was he affected by the proximity that Maya shared with someone else? Neither did he have an answer for it nor did he want to think about it. He slammed his hand against his desk and started taking deep breaths to calm the raging storm inside him. 

Compared to the thought of Maya being close to some other man, Sahir was more frustrated by the thought that he was feeling restless thinking about Maya. Sahir stood leaning against his desk, his eyes closed as he tried to divert his mind off Maya's thoughts. But even that didn't help. The moment he closed his eyes, the flashes of Maya of her sitting beside him at the bar, of them having sex, of their next meeting at  Fashion & City, of their making-out in the washroom, each and every memory of Maya that he had, come flashing in front of his eyes.

He had this sudden urge to rip Aditya's hands off his body for touching Maya and this urge was quite maddening. He clenched his fists tight trying his best to rein in the beast within, started thinking of Arzoo's taunts and her complaints about his nature. That seemed to calm him down for a change.

Maya had a nice time posing for the pictures with Aditya. He was a really nice guy and didn't touch her inappropriately and kept asking for her permission whenever he had to touch her a bit intimately for the shoot. Some would find it annoying but not Maya. She appreciated the fact that Aditya was so much considerate about her comfort

"And! We are done!" came the photographer's voice. Aditya and Maya stood up from the couch, congratulating each other for the successful photo shoot.

Maya was about to leave to change her outfit but stopped on Aditya's call. "Maya, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" he asked.

Maya gave a nod and turned around to talk to him, "Yeah?"

"Actually," but before Aditya could say anything further, his cell phone rang up causing a sweet smile to spread across his face.

"I know. I remember." he said answering the call. "I will get it for you." was all that he said before ending the call.

Maya was curious but she didn't say anything, didn't want to interfere but Aditya told her about it himself, "Sorry about that. It's just my girlfriend.." before he could say anything else, Maya decided to interrupt him.

"You talk like that with you girlfriend?" now she was having second thoughts about Aditya.

"Only when she becomes crazy, like now." he laughed a little and Maya was reminded of Arjun who used to laugh at her and kept being in contact with Saanjh behind her back. Was Aditya like Arjun too?

"What is there to laugh about? What's wrong about it when a girl, who is in love with you, calls you to talk to you and you are calling her crazy?" she was disturbed by the memories of her past with Arjun, her eyes grew misty.

Aditya was confused about Maya's reaction so he explained to her in detail, "It's not like that Maya." he smiled a bit, "She didn't call me to talk to me but she actually wanted to ask if I had done the task that she had assigned me." he chuckled making Maya frown.
