Hey my lovely readers.

How are you all?

Are you all enjoying the plot?

Well I really missed writing Siya and Akash moments and I actually lost touch writing about them because I didn't write any of their scenes for the past 2 months so forgive me please if the scenes aren't upto your expectations but I promise, I'll try to write better.

Please listen to the song above. I really love this song. 

Let's begin with the chapter now.

Akash' POV

After our little conversation and her outburst and driving in silence, we finally reached the mall.

Parking my car in the basement, we went inside the mall.

"Which shop should we go?" I asked when I saw her standing besides me.

"Let's start with that shop" she said pointing towards a shop.

We then moved to the shop she was pointing at and I followed her with smile on my lips.

Lately I've started smiling a lot, I don't know the reason but just seeing her, makes me happy and my heart at content.

I didn't realize I was staring at her till she snapped her fingers in front of me.

"Where are you lost Akash?" she asked me and I came back from my la la land.

"Nowhere" I said.

"Okay, what do you think about this handbag? Or what about this one?" she asked, showing me two handbags, one in each of her hand.

I looked at both of them and to me they both looked...similar.

What is the difference between them?

"Siya, they're both same" I said looking at both of them.

"No Akash, they aren't the same" she said shaking her head in denial.

I looked at both the handbags again, scrutinizing them carefully to find any difference but at last found none.

"Siya, they're still the same" I said.

"No they're not" she said.

"Okay you tell me what's the difference between them? As far as I see they both are same in terms of colour, texture" I said.

"No, you see" she said showing me one of the handbags "see this handbag has chain on one side and the other one doesn't."

I looked at both of them carefully again and realized what she said.

"Really" I asked her in disbelief.

She gave me a sheepish smile and handed me both the handbags to keep in the cart.

Girls and their way of shopping, I'll never understand.

Sighing, I followed her like a lost puppy while she was busy looking at more handbags.

"Tell me your budget Akash" she asked after a while.

"Huh" I asked getting confused.

"Tell me what's your budget for handbag?" she asked again.

I showed her my black Amex card. She took it and after scrutinizing it for a minute, she gave it back to me.

"What is your budget?" she asked me again innocently.

 "Seriously Siya, of all the people in the world, you're asking me for my budget?" I asked her in disbelief.

I showed her my card again and said "do you know what this card means?"

She shook her head and gave me a little pout which mind you distracted me for a few seconds but then I made a grip on my mind and looking into her eyes I said "Siya, this is an Amex black card, it has no limit."

 As soon as I said those words, her eyes widened and she looked down.

"I..I didn't know I am sorry" she said.

"Mohit never gave you his card?" I asked.

She shook her head.

"And you told me you are leaving me for his money" I said scoffing and her eyes widened.

"Siya, if you were so interested in his money, then why don't you know about this card? I am sure he must have showered you with his money" I said.

She didn't say anything and just looked down.

Didn't she leave me for his money thinking that I'll be leading a normal life and she wanted somebody who's rich? Then she should've known about these kind of cards.

"Siya, are you hiding something from me?" I asked with fury.

"No I am not hiding anything from you" she said.

I wanted to confront her and ask her if there's any problem with Mohit but I remained calm.

She then picked few handbags and showed them to me and I like an obedient boy, followed her again.

Finally we decided on one handbag after getting confused a lot but a thought came to my mind.

If I can get a handbag for Kriti, I can definitely get one for her, after all she was the one who motivated me to do well and get placed in this company and made me realize that I am capable of much more than I think.

My thoughts immediately went to a memory of a conversation we had when we were together.

"Do you think it is a good plan Siya?" I asked her after I told her about my plan to join an MNC for gaining experience and later start my own company.

"Of course it is" she said with a smile.

She was sitting on my lap with her face burried on my chest.

"You think I'll succeed in it?" I asked and she immediately looked up.

She cupped my cheeks and said "why are you doubting yourself?"

"I don't know....it's just that I feel...what if I fail?" I asked, looking at her, keeping my palms over her hands which were resting on my cheeks.

"You can never fail because you're Aman Sharma's son, who is considered one of the most intelligent businessman in India. You've got his brain" she said.

"What if my plan of establishing an IT industry and later on merging with our parent company fails?" I asked her.

"You'll never fail because I trust you, your capability. You're a good leader Akash which is very much necessary to establish a company of your own and I know, you'll polish this talent of yours over years to come and I am sure you'll make your parents proud" she said.

I kissed her fingers one by one and burrying my face in the crook of her neck, I asked "how do you know?"

"I juts know it" she said and ran her fingers in my hairs which instantly relaxed me.

"Siya, what if I fail? Will you leave me?" I asked, kissing her on her neck.

"Please don't say such things Akash. You'll not be a failure, I am very sure of it and even if things don't work out the way you want, you still have a family who'll always love and support you no matter what" she said.

"What about you? Will you leave me if I...I'll be failure?" I asked with tears threatening to flow from my eyes.

"I can never leave you Akash, whatever happens, I promise we'll face everything together" she said.

"Promise?" I asked her.

"Promise my baby" she said pinching my cheeks.

"Am I really your baby?" I asked her.

"Yes" she said grinning.

"Okay then your baby wants something" I said with a smirk.

"What?" she asked confused.

"You'll know it soon" I said and crashed my lips on hers and then pinched her nipples.

I know we aren't together but she was the one who constantly motivated me to achieve my goal. Whenever I felt low or doubted myself, she was always there to make me realize that I could achieve my dreams.

I think I should get her something as well.

Though she betrayed me but she's the reason who kept me going to achieve my dreams and she still does.

The least I could do is gift her something that would show my appreciation to her that I still am thankful to her for keeping me motivated.

Sighing, I took another handbag which I liked a lot and taking it to counter, I asked the salesgirl to pack both the handbags.

"Who's the second handbag for?" Siya asked me.

"You" I said.

Siya's POV

 "Why for me?" I asked him.

I don't want him to waste his money on me, even though I know he has plenty of it but the guilt of hurting him is something which will never allow me to take anything from him.

"It's just a gift Siya, it's not like I am hitting on you or something" he said, rolling his eyes.

"I know but...it's too expensive, I can't take it, I am sorry" I said.

I took the handbag from salesgirl and asked to pack only the handbag that we selected for Kriti.

Just when I was about to take the handbag from the sales girl he came close to my ear and whispered "do you want to me to buy the entire mall?"

Shudder went through my spine.

His hot breath fanning my neck was enough to bring the tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach.

Involuntary my eyes got closed and I leaned in to him.

I could feel his hands on my back and then he said again "Siya, do you want me to buy the mall?"

His question brought me back to reality.

"What do you mean?" I asked, composing myself and turning to him.

"If you don't take this handbag, I'll buy the entire mall and name it under you" he said, looking into my eyes.

"What?" I asked with my mouth hung open.

He just shrugged and said "you heard me. It's your decision now, mall or handbag."

What the hell is this?

"Excuse me sir, you're blocking the line" the lady on the billing counter said after watching us bickering for a few minutes.

"I am so sorry ma'am. We'll just be back in a few minutes" Akash said and dragged me with him.

"So what have you decided?" he asked me.

"About what?" I asked.

"Of course, my offer. Do you want the whole mall or only this handbag?" he asked me.

"Are you serious?" I asked, bewildered.

"Of course I am" he said.

"I am neither taking this handbag nor the mall" I said.

"Oh yeah?" he said.

"Yeah" I said with my arms over my chest, looking into his eyes.

His eyes travelled from my eyes to my breast.

Not again.

"Pervert" I said under my breath and kept my hands down.

"I heard it" he said with a small smile.

"So what? Akash, let's not waste much time and take this handbag for Kriti. I don't want any gift from you" I said.

"Okay. Are you sure you don't want to purchase this handbag for you?" he asked.

"Yes" I replied.

"Okay" he said and took out his phone.

"What are you doing now?" I asked.

"You'll see" he said dialed a number.

"Hello Adarsh. Yeah I am fine. Just want a favor from you. I want to buy a mall. Yeah the same one. How long will it take to buy it? One hour? Okay that's fine, I'll wait for your call" my mouth just hung open listening to him.

Before he could continue his conversation with his brother, I snatched the phone from his hands and said "hello, Adarsh, please don't take him seriously he was just joking."

"Who's this?" he asked.

Oh shit, he doesn't know that me and Akash are working together in the same office probably.

"I...I" what do I say to him?

Taking a deep breath, I said "I am Siya."

"Oh my god Siya? Is it really you?" he asked.

"Yeah it's me. Please don't buy this mall Adarsh, I insist" I said in a hurry.

"Okay but Akash asked me to buy it and you're asking me not to buy it. What exactly do you want me to do?" he asked.

Akash snatched the phone from me and said "yeah. Yeah it's Siya."

Oh my god, he did tell his brother that I am with him.

What will he think about me now?

"Don't listen to her, just buy it in an hou.." he said but then I gave him my best puppy eyes.

"Please, I am ready to take handbag not this mall please" I said in a pleading tone.

"You sure?" he asked, keeping his hands on the speaker of the phone.

"Yes" I said.

"Okay Adarsh, no need to buy the mall now. It's fine" he said and disconnected the call.

Akash has officially gone mad.

We then went to the billing counter and purchased the two handbags.

After purchasing it, we went out of the store and he said "I never knew gifting you something was so easy." 

Chuckling, he said "are you sure you broke up with me and went to Mohit for money?" 

I stopped on my tracks and said "what do you mean?"

"Of course Siya, I very well know that you aren't a gold digger. If you'd be one you'd ask me to buy the handbag as well as the mall" he said.

"A gold digger would never let this golden opportunity go" he said looking into my eyes.

Listening to him my eyes went wide.

Shit shit shit. What have I landed myself to?

He said with a smirk "is there something you want to say about it?"

I just looked down.

What do I say now?

Think of an excuse Siya, think think think fast.

"Of course, I went to him for money" I said with confidence.

"Really?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"Yes" I said not meeting his eyes.

"A girl who left me for money whose 'boyfriend' is a rich billionaire doesn't even know what black card is. Also, not to forget, the same girl threw a fit in front of me not to purchase anything for her and when I blackmailed her that I'd purchase the whole mall for her, she almost became restless not to buy it. A gold digger would've definitely taken this as an opportunity" he said stepping forward while my legs were automatically moving back till my back touched the wall.

When I was trapped between him and the wall, he whispered in my ear "don't you think you leaving me for money at the same time throwing a fit not to purchase anything for you don't go along and are contradicting?"

I was just looking at him, tongue tied.

"Is there an answer you've for it Siya?" he whispered against my neck, his hot breath fanning on my shoulder.

"I am waiting for an answer Siya" he said, looking in my eyes.

Oh god, please save me. What do I answer him?

Hey my lovely readers.

What do you think will Siya reply or will she get caught for lying to Akash?
