Chandni
" What happened?"
He said in his deep angry voice. I went rigid at his question and lowered my eyes avoiding his questioning gaze.
" Not...hing....happened"
He paused for a second bridging his nose in between his thumb and forefinger. He looked angry. As if he was losing patience by every minute.
" What happened there? You were having a panic attack and fainted right in front of me."
I still didn't uttered a single word to him.
I flinched a little when he brought his hands up. His hand stopped mid air sensing my fear.
" I am not going to hurt you." He said slowly making every word register into my mind. " Do you trust me with this? "
I shook my head in no.
He chuckled lightly at my response. I looked up to see that he looked amused by this. But his expression became serious on seeing my face.
Gently cupping it with his large ones, he looked deep into my eyes, as if searching for answer.
A single tear slipped down my eye and fall down leaving a wet trail behind it. I again shook my head in no.
" Even if you don't trust me, still I will find out about what happened there."
His faces was showing anger but his touch was soft. I felt safe with him. A sob broke out of me and tears started flowing from my eyes.
Seeing me cry he pulled me towards his chest hugging me tightly. His one hand was circling my waist holding me in place and his other hand was gently combing my hair. My tears were wetting his shirt but he didn't said anything.
I was happy that he found me and saved me.
I pulled away fom him and wiped my tears. I looked into his eyes.
They were full of understanding, care and trust and even a little bit of l...love.
Just like Dev.
I shook my head to get this thought out of my head. Dev is gone. He is never coming back. But right now Advay reminds me so much of Dev.
" Thank....you. "
His eyes softened for a second but were back to showing no emotion at all. I was surprised at how he could hide his emotions so fast.
It was like the moment ended before it even started.
I felt cold when he removed his hands from my face.
I know it's wrong to even believe that he was ..... Dev-v. But my heart wants to believe it.
Dev was always so caring. He always looked after me when I was in trouble. Saved me from my stepmother. But he left me alone here.
He broke his promise. I don't want to remember him. But I miss him so much.
If he was Dev, then he would have recognized me in a second.
Why did he brought me here?
There were so many questions arising in my mind that I wanted to ask him.
As if a spell was broken he stood up. The hands that were holding me so softly were clenched in a tight fist by his side and he left the room without saying another word.
Advay
I rubbed a palm on my face feeling frustrated with myself. This is not how should I be feeling for her.
How can I feel like this towards her, towards my enemy. She is not my enemy . But, she is related to them. I vowed to never show this face to anybody. Then why did I let myself slipped in front of her.
Her eyes, that I used to admire were filled with tears. It made me angry. I growled at the thought of someone hurting her. Right now, I just wanted to find that person and beat the shit out of him for making her cry.
Dammit!
I punched my hand hard on to the wall in front of me. My knuckles started bleeding. But I cared less.
Why am I doing? I shouldn't be feeling like this towards her. I can't get distracted so easily. This is not me. I again punched the wall in frustation.
Why do I even care, whether she gets hurt or not.
This is the second time I let my resolve slip in front of her. When I saw her in that conference room. I couldn't leave my eyes of her.
She looked beautiful. She has those captivating eyes that makes my heart beat fast.
God.....I am behaving like a teenager who is talking about his crush.
No.
This is the last time this is happening.
Looking at my hand, I sneered at my wound. This would be my reminder to never slip my resolve in front of anyone, not even....Chandni.
I picked my phone and called Aman. In 3 rings he picked up his phone.
" Where the hell are you? I have been calling since an hour. You missed your meeting."
I totally forgot about the meeting.
"Shit. Yeah. I will be there soon."
After applying some medication on my wound, I walked out of my room and passed by the guest bedroom where she was.
The door was ajar. She was sitting on the couch when I left her.
But where is she?
I peeked inside the room but when I round my gaze away from the couch. I saw her lying on the floor struggling to get up.
Stubborn girl.
I quickly moved inside and bend down to pick her up in my arms. She gasped in surprise not expecting me.
I sat her down on the bed. Her eyes were brimming with tears most probably from the pain.
" My... Phone. "
She said pointing towards it.
" You should have called someone. You might have opened your wound and have gotten hurt more badly. Why are so so stubborn? "
Her eyes were trained on me. I sometimes feel that she might recognize me in a second.
