His Yarra Girl

Chapter 20

Navya Tandon

Now you're officially dead. Why the hell should I say, husband! I could have at least told my boyfriend or fiancé, but Nah— I just jumped to the word husband. It's even ridiculous to tell him as my husband when we're not dating in the first place.

How much more my life can get pathetic? 

That guy doesn't even consider me as a— yeah! Friend, and here I'm thinking he'll consider me as his wife. He will die rather than accept me as his wife. Yet, he can't run away from me, 'cause his fate his sealed with mine. Girlfriend or wife, whatever it is, it'll end with me. I heard him clearing his throat deliberately a few times, still, I didn't look at him. 

"Navya!", he said in an annoyed tone, which instantly got attention. Yeah! I don't want to piss him off anymore. He was about to tell something when I cut him off rudely.

"Umm...Sharav is your cabin soundproof?", I asked him. He looked at me bewildered for a second. 

"What?", he asked me. Sighing I was about to tell him when he cut me off this time. "I heard the first time you asked Navya", this time he sighed.

Well, I must be pretty hard to handle. Not my problem though!

"But why are you asking about it?", he asked me. I could bet on my life that either he'll laugh or kill me. Maybe he might choose the latter option. Taking a few steps away from him, I chuckled nervously. But he gestured me to talk.

"I thought you might yell at me, so I asked whether your cabin is soundproof are not", I shrugged at the end. He just faced palm himself, hearing my reply. Leaning against his table he gestured me to come forward. Taking tiny steps, I stood in front of him. But the next thing he did really caught me off guard. 

Circling his arms around my waist, he pulled me towards him. I felt my heart stopping for a minute or more. Why not, he never did something like this and also my heart is beating so fast that I could die because of the current position. I was currently standing between his leg whilst I kept looking at his shirt.

Didn't dare to lift my eyes. 

"Whatever you said didn't surprise me", the moment I heard his words, my eyes shot up. I did hear the right words, right? 'Cause I don't want people to call me deaf when they're already calling me crazy. 

"Huh"

That was all I could say. Exhaling out he rested his arms on both sides of my shoulder, which knocked the breath out of my system. And I also felt my cheeks heating up. Come on not now! I prayed. 

"Whatever you said didn't surprise me 'cause you already claimed me as your boyfriend when I was practically a stranger to you." He just shrugged his shoulders. Okay now, what the hell does he want to say? He's confusing me.

Someone is confusing the Great Navya— me, I'm confused. 

"So the conclusion of your speech?", I questioned him sarcastically. But he just grinned at him and eyed my—lips? Okay, now his look is scaring the shit out of me, so this is how he feels when I give him those cheeky grins. Man, I promise not to give those cheeky grins to anyone from now on. I swear to god. 

"Shar-" the words died in my mouth when he placed his lips on mine. The hell! He's freaking kissing me. Oh my god! It feels so surreal. Damn my second kiss with Sharav! He broke my thoughts by pulling me a bit closer to him and rested his hands on my waist.  

Sensing that he's nibbling my upper lips, I started kissing him back. My fingers on their own found their way to his dense locks of hair. He then started nibbling my lower lips which send chills to my spine. I heard him groan when I pulled his hair. His lips were soft the same as four years ago. He left me when I left myself gasping for breath. 

I'm damn sure that my cheeks would be as red as tomato ketchup. Blushing I hid my face in his chest not wanting to look at his face. He chuckled softly and I smack lightly on his chest. Pushing me away a little he lifted my face, by placing a finger under my chin. When I looked into his eyes there was something—a hint of amusement, humor, and— love? I don't know. But this is the best day of mine. 

"So this is the conclusion of my speech", he smirked at me, whilst I glowered at him. Chuckling he raised his hands in mock surrender. "Okay, okay! I like you, Ms. Tandon. I might have liked you from the day you kissed me in Paris."

I gasped hearing his little speech. He liked me from the first time we met. I didn't know what to do! "Sharav...", he cut me off again, but this time I stood stunned hearing his next question.

"So Ms. Navya Tandon will you be my girlfriend?"

And before I can understand anything, I felt myself blacking out.

Sharav Ahuja

The moment I asked her to be my girlfriend she blacked out in my arms. Panicking I picked her in bridal style and placed her on one of the couches. I sprinkled some water on her for her to wake up. After a minute or so she woke up. I breathed out a sigh of relief. 

"Hey are you okay?", I asked her whilst cupping her cheeks. Cursing myself in my head, I looked at her. She collapsed when I asked her to be my girlfriend, see I'm not good for anyone. I might hurt her if I involve myself with her. God! I can't back off now! But her voice brought me out of my inner battle.

"Don't", she spoke sharply, whilst pointing a finger at me. "Don't you dare blame yourself for the reason I passed out. I passed out because I was overwhelmed with my emotions, that finally, my dream came true. My dream for four years— to be your girlfriend. If you try to back off, I won't mind kicking your ass"

I gulped at the way she spoke. Heck! I felt my heart beating rapidly for two minutes. Not trusting my voice, I just nodded my head at her. From now on, I'll try my best not to hurt her or anyone. I won't let my parents or their past to demolish my happiness. Shifting a bit near her, I wrapped my arms around her, and she rested her head on my shoulder.

It feels good— that it feels so right to have her in my arms. 

Maybe this is how Viren, Sahil, and Daksh would feel to have felt when the girls are in their arms. Unknowingly she's helping to face my fears. The fears of my life, which my parents left behind. I won't let the demons of my past affect my future. A future where I could live happily with the people I love. I kissed her forehead, and she sighed happily at my gesture. She tightened her arms around my torso, whilst I felt my lips curve upwards. 

"So it's a yes or no?", I asked her. Pulling her head, she kissed my left cheek and smiled at me. A smile that caused my heart to skip a beat— or more beats if possible. Her reply just warmed my heart. 

"A thousand times yes— and yes for whatever you ask me" I just hugged her even more possible, where even air couldn't pass between us. Just at that moment, my mobile rang. Fishing out from my mobile, I felt my insides somersaulting, 'cause this call will be the end of me—or the end of us. It's a video call from Viren along with others. 

Shit! I'm doomed now! 

"Hey it's your family, attend the call", my choco told me. Poor her, she doesn't know how my family can tease us to death. Even before I can reply, she swiped to answer the call. I just closed my eyes not wanting to see them at this moment. For a minute, I didn't hear any voice, guessing they must have hung the call, I just opened one of my eyes— but the luck was never on my side. All of them, including Prerita and Vihaan, was looking at us, whilst the elders yelled,

"WHAT THE HELL?"
