Broken Jewel

❤82❤ - True Faces

He engulfed her senses and stole all her worries away. When his teeth left her lower lips, she just blinked repeatedly and looked at him with bated breath. She felt electricity run past her skin, hormones shutting down of her higher brain and the rise of her animal self. She looked at Dev and slowly cupped his face in her palms.

"You know what..... let's really get to work!"

--------------------------------

Days passed in the Sharma mansion. Tarun wasn't at home most of the days while Dev's work became hectic as well. Although Dev disliked the idea of having security cameras around in the house, he was forced to execute it because of Tarun's atrocities. He tried to have a word with his brother, but all the time Tarun was either not at home or he would ignore Dev all the time.

Dev had enough of all the tantrums. His painful dates with Natasha was soon coming to an end too.

It was a holiday period for Sona. After a long sleep, she walked down the hall when everyone had almost finished their breakfast. She didn't know why, but she felt bone-idle lazy. She just wanted to keep sleeping for the whole day instead of waking up. Everyone in the house seemed to be too enthusiastic about staying at home that day. Arjun was listening to something in his phone, Asha was reading a book, Tarun sitting lazily on the sofa and Dev was just playing with the fidget spinner on the table.

When Dev saw Sona, he smiled and patted the seat next to her. Asha greeted her too and asked her to have her breakfast. Taking baby steps towards the table, Sona was about to take a seat when she heard the knocking sound at the door. Her heart jolted out of her chest when she saw Natasha standing at the door.

Her appearance was way too glamorous than what she had ever worn in London before. Was she attending some 'miss universe' contest?

Tarun was the first to react. Quickly getting up from his seat, he walked forward and greeted her with a smile. When he was about to hug her, Natasha refused and stepped back. Sona's eyes squinted in confusion and she turned to look at Dev who was sitting coolly on her side.

"Why's she here?" Sona whispered only to get a gentle squeeze from Dev.

Tarun observed Natasha and requested her to come in. However, she looked perturbed and disturbed. She didn't even look at Tarun's face... instead her eyes were searching for someone else inside the house.

"What's wrong Natasha? Why are you suddenly here....? Any problem babe?" Tarun questioned as Arjun sat upright and took off his earplugs. His eyes were wide, constantly looking at Natasha and back at Dev.

"Tarun............. I am here to tell you something" Natasha gulped down slowly and looked at Dev.

Without any tension, Dev slowly stood up from his place and walked up to the door.

"Come inside first, Natasha..." Dev forwarded his hand. Without thinking twice, Natasha took his hands and walked inside. Tarun's face paled and he blinked perplexedly like he had seen a ghost. Asha held in her breath and Sona totally forgot about the food infront of her.

She looked at them and gazed at Arjun. He was the only guy who looked the least surprised out of all. Rolling his eyes at them, Arjun plugged in his earpiece back and concentrated on his phone.

"Are you going to tell Tarun why you are here?" Dev asked Natasha with a small smile. She looked taken aback at first but after a bit of coaxing, she relaxed. Looking at Tarun with a guilty look, she lowered her eyes and took in a deep breath. It seemed like she couldn't gather any words out of her mouth.

"What's wrong bhai... what does she has to tell me?" Tarun's voice shook a bit. Dev felt a little bad, but he couldn't do anything for that.

"Let her say it by her own Tarun.... Come on. Tell him Nats...." Dev squeezed her hands tighter. Natasha looked up and gazed back at Sonakshi. Sona had no idea what was happening, but she tried her best to keep her face composed as possible.
