Avishi Raj Rajput

Did I really make such a big mistake?

I wasn't trying to hurt anyone. My intentions to hide my real identity were never for the sake of fooling others. I didn't plan out how exactly me working for Avikam will turn out. If I told I am a princess the very moment I came to Mumbai, word would have gotten out. Yaduveers would have known where I am staying and the whole world would have known who I am and how I look.

Avikam was my friend, a friendship I don't remember and even if I did it's been around twenty years. Like mom said there is now way to know if he is the same person as he was.

The three months since I have been working for him I know more about his professional side than his personal side. Surely I know his seducing skills and about Pari but I don't know him as an individual. While I am going crazy for him and my attraction keeps growing towards him, I don't know what he likes, what he doesn't and what he enjoys most.

I trust him either way and I revealed myself to him based on that trust.

So what if I took three months to figure out whether it's a right thing to do or not?

I am genuinely sorry for hurting him with a lie but if anyone should understand it's him.

He is trying to protect Pari in the same way. He hid her from the world to keep her sake. Why can't he understand the risk?

If it was up to me I would have never forgot our friendship. I would have cherished every second of it. How is it fair for him to punish me for something I had no control over? He avoided me for three days to the point of not even responding to my work calls.

This is entirely new for me. I have never been in this kind of dilemma where I had no idea as to what to do to make the other person understand my situation. It's driving me mad!

Mom, dad and Jay that was my world. Then Avikam entered into it and he became the first person I ever liked in a romantic way. I try to stay away, I do but I don't have enough self control when it's him. At this point I give up. Should I go back to Dehradun to live just as before or let Avikam in and see where this go?

"Are you okay?" Julie asked placing her hand on my shoulder.

I turned towards her nodding with a small smile. I sent a message to Avikam one last time to ask if we can talk but he didn't give any response making me dwell on my sad thoughts.

"When is Roni coming to pick us up?" I asked her.

She checked her phone, "He should be here by now..." she said at the same time door bell rang.

Her eyes lit up and she looked down at herself nervously with a blush. She looked at me tilting her head silently asking if she was looking good and I gave her thumbs up. She opened the door herself to let Roni in.

I turned back just in time to see the he went still looking at her from top to bottom. I looked away smiling to myself. Julie is naturally beautiful but her usual attires hide her body assets. Today with a skinny jeans and well fitted off shoulder crop top she looks stunning.

I heard their whispers and it reminded me of Avikam. Shaking my head as to get him out of head, I stood up from the sofa. Jay and Viraj came out from his room dressed casually in matching T-shirts. Great! Couples everywhere I turn.

"You guys ready?" Roni asked us.

"Yes, just give us girls a second," I said and gestured Julie. We both went inside my room to take one last look at ourselves and dab some perfume. Checking our clutch purses to make sure, we stepped out.
