Junoon (Passionate Love, #1)

|08| - She Is Not Her

Maya stared at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes bloodshot. After Sahir had left her in that storeroom, Maya took time to set her clothes right before rushing to the washroom. She was relieved on finding it empty. Locking the door Maya began covering the hickeys and the other marks that Sahir had left on her body. This was more important than thinking about Sahir's behavior towards her.

Maya was furious with the way he acted. That jerk left her after getting what he wanted and Maya knew how to deal with these kinds of jerks. She was furious but didn't let it out, right now she had an important task on hand. People had always called her mad and it was the time that she let her madness out because Sahir totally deserved it. He won't be forgiven for what he had just done.

Sahir was feeling very disturbed after seeing all those marks on Maya's body. Right now he was actually feeling like a monster, just like Arzoo had described him to be. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply trying to calm his mind down. He tried to divert his mind off Maya's thoughts by thinking about Noor and all the efforts that she had put in to make this terrace this much beautiful.

She had herself designed everything, the terrace garden, the mini swimming pool, the small apartment, everything. She had wanted a place to stay and relax in case if she had to work for late. Sahir tried to think about the time where he and Zaki had been here to help Noor build this private kingdom but all he could think about was bringing Maya up here.

He groaned and clutched his hair tightly, "What is it about you that I am not able to control myself?!" he muttered to himself. The marks on her body were the reflection of his cruelty towards her but still, he wanted to be with her, have her close; preferably naked, just have her around him all the time.

Sahir was brought out of his thoughts by the ringing of his cell phone. He looked at the screen to check who was calling him but he didn't recognize the number. Thinking that it might be an important call, Sahir answered it. "Hello?"

"I want to talk to you. I am waiting in your cabin." was all that the person on the call said and ended the call before waiting for Sahir's response.

Sahir pinched the bridge of his nose, "I can't keep avoiding her. She deserves an apology at-least." he muttered to himself. He knew that it was Maya who had just called him, how could he not recognize the soft and cool sound of her voice.

He stood up and started walking towards the lift, he was determined to apologize to Maya for what he had done. It was better to get done and over with it today only and after today they won't be meeting again as he won't be going for the outdoor shoot, Zaki will. And the probability was high that they would never meet again.

****************

Maya was sitting on the chair, playing with a pen as she waited for Sahir to arrive. She had turned the blinds down so nobody will be able to witness exactly what was going to happen today in this cabin.

She had only been intimately close to only 2 men in her life. With Arjun, she was the one to initiate the contact, she had loved him with all she had, her heart, her soul, her body but in return, Arjun trampled over her love and called her a crazy, a psychopath. She had dumped him then but it was hard to move on.

Sahir helped her at that point, as he was going through the same thing as her. The connection they shared was something else, it was like they were gaining physical comfort from each other but today Sahir destroyed it. He made her feel as if she was just a toy for him.

"Maya...." his voice made her stiffen. Maya stopped playing with the pen and said, "Close the door. I don't want any disturbance." Sahir did as he was told to. He knew that she is upset right now, mad at him as well and she had the right to feel so.
