" I am not engaged."

She heard and looked at him shocked.

" What?" She asked.

" Yes, I am not engaged to anyone and I don't have any fiancee." He said and sighed in relief that he had said it at last.

" But that day in the office that girl said that she is your Fiancee." She said.

" Yeah, she lied. I refused to meet her for alliance that my mom had set up for me and so she came straight to the office declaring herself as my fiancee." He said angrily.

" Oh." She said simply and looked down.

She doesn't know why but she felt happy hearing that.

" Oh? Just oh?" He asked exasperated.

And she looked up at him confused.

" You are staying away from me and you are not letting me to meet Aman because of that stupid lie and your reaction is just oh?" He exclaimed.

A smile appeared on her face but it was gone as soon as it came.

" No, it's not because of her. It's because we couldn't afford to get attached to you." She said with a straight face.

" What? Why?" He whined and she looked at him amused.

" Sir, it's just not because of her. It's because you have your own family and someday you will get married too...if it's not with that girl Leena then it will be with someone else. So, it's not good for anyone of us to get attached to each other.....please understand sir." She explained him the same way as she explained it to Aman but the only difference was that she is talking to a grown up kid.

He blinked his eyes at her as if to understand is if she is for real.

" What if I want to be with you two forever?" He asked straight forwardly.

She sat stunned in her place and he sighed loudly. He got up and sat beside her making her turn towards him.

He thought to talk to her carefully as he doesn't want to scare her away by using the 'L' word because now she is just not letting him meet Aman but if he says that he loves her then she might resign the job and run away from him which he will not able to bear.

" Look, Aadhya.....I don't know what will happen in the future but I don't want to ruin our present because of that. I don't know how but you and Aman has become an important part of my life unknowingly and I am happy you both came into my life. You both unknowingly taught me many things which I had been missing my whole life." He said making her just stare at him.

" I know it's a lot to take in but I think you understood what I am saying." He said looking at her cautiously.

" Why?" She asked softly.

" What?" He asked confused.

" You don't know me, you don't know what's my life and you don't know my past. I am like a broken glass piece and it may hurt you." She said calmly looking at him.

" Yeah you are right....I don't know you but I would like to know you. I know you have built walls around you but I will wait until you open upto me and you don't need to share anything with me if you are uncomfortable. I would be glad if I got to know about you more." He grinned at her.

" When you will know me, you may hate me." She said looking into his eyes.

" No one can hate you Aadhya. I know something huge has happened in your life due to which you are like this Aadhya but there is nothing about you to make anyone hate you." He said honestly smiling at her.
