I hate/Love you.

chp 18 "reviling the truth"

(not edited)

I haven't seen Arav after the kiss. It's night now. I haven't got the guts to get out of my room. The most important thoughts that were still rotating in my mind were, was our marriage really Arav's grandfather's wish? Did we really get married? Because, lets get the fact clear, I was unconscious the whole time.

Second, in how much deep shit we really are, for Arav to protect us? And who the hell is Mr. Khan?! What were the recording Arav was talking about and...

Knock knock

I heard the my room door. I got up from my bed and went to the door. I opened it, only to find Arav. My heart beat accelerated, my eyes found his and all the thought just vanished from my mind.

"Niya." He wishpered my name so low that I couldn't believe I heard him.

Though my mind was not functioning properly, I knew something was bothering him.

"What's the matter?" I asked without even processing the thought.

"Let's sit first." He said while entering the room. I sat on the chair near the bed, rotating is so that it could face the bed. "Come here and sit."

(Nitya's room)

I near and sat down on the bed's edge.

"I know you must be having lots of questions, that are unanswered. Today, you have all the time . Ask me anything and I will tell you the truth. Every thing I know." He declared looking straight in my eyes.

"Anything?" I asked.

"Anything." He replied.

"How dangerous is this 'Mr. Khan'? " I asked the first question that came to my mind.

His posture tensed a bit, and he joined his finger inter lacing each other and placed his elbow on his knee leaning a little towards me.

"He actually isn't dangerous" he stated and then continued before I could interupt "it's his mentality. He just want the revenge from your Mom and Dad. And for him, he don't have a family. His marriage was called off when his in-laws heard about him getting jail. And not only did he got jail for the stealing but also for his sexual harassment- which was reported by his Co worker. "

"Why wait this many years.? I'm sure he must be out in couple of years with the charges." Curiosity got best out of me.

"I don't know that, yet. May be he was just waiting for the right time or something." Arav shrugged his shoulder and leaned back on the chair.

There was a movement of scilence.

"Was...was our marriage real?" I asked lowly my hand unconsciously rolling around the mangalsurta around my wrist.

When I didn't got an answer, I looked up to see him staring me already.

"Niya, that marriage...it was..." He paused taking a deep breath and in that second my heart pumped rapidly, anticipating coming answer. Was marriage not real? Was it all lie, to pretend, to save me or something like that? Oh god... I should have understood it bef-

"It was real, Niya. As real the as the sun is." Arav stood up and came to sit beside me, taking my hands in his, "It really was true. I didn't wanted it to be in the way it happened. All I thought was way to protect you. And it indeed was my grandpa's wish." His eyes told me he was telling me the truth.

"But whatever I told you that day, it was true too. If you don't want, you can back off any movement. And if not, then too I will try my best till we are together."

I have committed to this, I ensure you to be faithful in this. Trust me

I heard his voice in back of my mind, the words that he spoke once to me.

"Are you'll gonna be safe?" I blurted out the next second, before I could again go on my train of thoughts.

"Huh?" He asked confused.

"I know, you are gonna go with my papa, to that Mr Khan. Aren't you?"

"We got the plan, don't worry. They will be fine, I promise."

"That's not my answer." I snapped quickly. What about him? Why can't he say they all we be fine, including him too.

"Niya, I... I don't know,ok. What I can assure you right now is your family will be safe. I will never let anything happen to them till I'm still breathing." He said looking determined.

"Promise?"

"Promise. And you know, I always keep my promise." He smiled a little. He patted my head and said,"you should sleep now. It's getting late."

He got up from my bed and started walking back to the door when I called him "Arav."

He turned around and looked at me questionly.

"Don't forget your promise, I want my family safe and sound. Back to me. In one piece." He looked at me for the longest and seemed to understand what I just told him.

He just promised me to be safe. He promised me that he will come back. He promised me that he will protect my family. Which also includes my dear husband.

"You really are a stubborn."

" You don't say. I'm married to undercover officer." I replied cheekly, happy with a comeback I have. But the man in front of me wanted to ruin it.

"Well, yeah... With that in mind, I remember now that.." he took his steps towards me looking straight in my eyes. "..we haven't completed all the rituals. How about celebrating our wedding night?" He raised his eyebrows making me gasp.

"You...you...dirty minded-" I couldn't complete the sentence as he interupted me.

"Well you didn't complained when you were kissing the hell out there in balcony just few hours before."

My cheeks flushed, I felt my hands shake with weird tingles spreading in my whole body. Thanks to heaven I was sitting, or I would have fallen down . I was about to justfy my action with probably something stupid when I heard him laughing.

Bast**d.

I really Hate that, I love this guy!

O shit! Did i just said that! When the hell this happened!
