"Vihaan you there?" I called out and as I entered through the terrace door.

The terrace was filled with plants and shrubs apparently my haven didn't have  enough space. It also had some park benches with soft cushions making it my favorite place to read novels.

"Hi" He said coming out from behind me.

"Hi. What did you want to talk about?" 

"Why are you doing this?"

"What are you talking about?" 

"Why are you marrying Vikram when you don't want to?" Where was this coming from? 

"Are you seriously asking this Vihaan? Who told you I don't want to marry him?"

"I got your letter Lila, you don't have to lie to me"

"What letter?" Was he pulling a prank at me. He used to always do that when we were younger but this was not a time, place and subject for a prank.

"This one" He said removing a paper from his pocket. 

"I didn't send you any letter. Where did you find it?"

"It was just outside my bedroom last night. Seriously Lila I will help you come out of this mess"

"I am not in any kind of mess, I didn't write any letter" This seemed to piss him off. 

"Oh yeah then what is this" He started reading the letter.

'Vihaan, where were you all these years, you left me alone with these people. I feel like I am trapped in this hell hole without you. Then came Vikram, I hated him, I still do but my family wants me near him to save our business, to let it remain in our family. You were so late Vihaan, now no one can save me from this trap of a marriage. I don't feel anything for Vikram, the only person I have feelings for is you.'

Vihaan was looking at me with sad eyes. There is no way that I can write all those lies and not remember it, hell I haven't even touched a pen in last few days.

He closed the distance between us. 

"You don't have to do this Lila, I can save you from this marriage. We will run away somewhere far" he said cupping my face in his hands.

I pulled away from him.

"Vihaan, I didn't write that letter, I swear someone must have planted it" There was a flash of hurt in his eyes but he quickly recovered.

"I know you are scared of Vikram but you don't have to" I tried to stop him but he put his palm on my mouth, "Say no more Lila, you don't know since how long I have been waiting for this. I have always loved you Lila" He  engulfed me with a hug. 

I was shell shocked. I wanted to speak up but apparently my brain cells decided to play dead at this very moment.

I was pulled away from Vihaan with a sharp voice.

"See I told you she wasn't worth it"

I turned around it see Mita smirking at me and next to her Vikram with an expression of pure hatred on his face.

*****************

VIKRAM'S POV

I was standing in that fuck!ng garden with Mita next to me looking the drama unfolding in front of me.

Mita spent hours telling me to cancel this marriage, to stay away from Lila. I was confused when she called me on Lila's birthday and insisted to meet me in Mumbai and I went to meet her. I was fool for not believing her.

I felt Lila genuinely liked me, heck even love me. Was she lying the whole the whole time.

Those feeling, those sensations when we touched each other were those all false.

Fuck!

I was weak letting her get to me, letting her innocent image make fool of me. Did she laugh after our conversations? With that annoying as hell doctor.

Seeing that fucker have his arms around Lila made me go ballistic.

She wrote him a letter?  A fucking letter? Yeah, What do you expect from a little nerd who doesn't own a smartphone. 

I was never going to forgive her. Never.

I was broken from my trance only when Mita spoke, "See, I told you she wasn't worth it."

That broke off their little hug. I wanted to rip that bastard into little pieces. My instinct were right, he did have feelings for Lila.

Lila's face was shocked and I tried to keep mine neutral.

"Vikram, this is not as it seems" She started to speak.

"Lila, you don't have to be scared of him" Bastard spoke in middle. Oh, she has to be scared of me.

"Vihaan, how many times do I have to tell you, I didn't write that letter" She shouted at him and she turned to me,"Vikram please believe me, I don't know what's going on" She wailed and I wanted to believe her but I couldn't.

"Vikram don't believe a word that she says, she is a liar and always has been" Mita spoke up.

"Mita, when did I lie? Did you write that letter and give it to Vihaan? You tricked him into this didn't you?"

How could she defend him? The green monster inside me spurred up.

"Don't say another word to Mita,"I growled, "I am thankful that Mita opened my eyes about this before it was too late" It is too late now, I have already fallen for you.

Lila looked like she was hit with something hard, I felt the same baby when I knew you tricked me. I knew it was pure evil to use Lila's hatred for Mita as a part of my Revenge but I think my 'good' coat was shredded when I saw her hugging another man.

"Yes, I told him everything when I met him few days ago" Mita piped up.

"You met her? When? Why?" She looked at me in disbelief.

********************

LILA'S POV

"You met her? When? Why?" I looked him with disbelief tears evident in my eyes.

"On your birthday? At a hotel in Mumbai. Oh I am sorry I didn't send you a birthday card back with him. I forgot as I was otherwise occupied" She said in a very cheerful voice. My heart was shredded in pieces. He left me alone on my birthday to meet her?

"How long have you known each other?" I couldn't have but ask. My head feeling dizzy.

"Four years" It was Vikram who answered. What?

"We dated each other when I was in US, apparently a lot more than dating each other" I couldn't take it anymore I went off to a corner and emptied contents of my stomach and this time there was no one to hold my hair.

I knew Vikram had history but apparently him having it with my devil cousin was like a bomb dropped on me. This was all her plan, I knew it. But why go through all this trouble. What did she want.

I went back and looked directly at Vikram.

"Why didn't you tell me about this" My harsh voice surprising him. I was hurt, too hurt but I didn't want to show it to Mita, I didn't want her to have satisfaction of feeding on my pain.

"I didn't know anything about this until she called me"

We stood there for a moment trying to ingest all the information.

"Lila, what the hell is going on, I am confused?" Vihaan broke the silence.

"Don't you get it darling, she played you too" Mita smiled as she walked towards him. She was enjoying this a lot.

He ignored her and look at me, "Lila, this is all very baffling, If you really like me then why did Deepti call me and asked me to pretend as a fake priest and prolong your wedding"

"What?" Vikram roared as he left his position for the first and walked towards Vihaan holding his collar. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"

This can't be happening, let this be a dream please.

"I was the priest who came that day, I was told to make excuses to prolong the wedding" Vihaan was now really scared.

Vikram pushed him making him fall on the ground, he turned and walked menacingly at me, taking each space slowly. He held both my arms and tightened his grip, making me yelp in pain.

"What do you have to say about this princess" He voice forming goosebumps on my body.

What could I say about it, I had no answer. At that time, I had wanted to lengthen my engagement period.

"Was this because you didn't want to marry me? You thought you could find a way out of this marriage in those six months? Run away with that fucker? You are afraid of me? You should be. You hate me now? You will hate me more. You want to get away from me? I will never let you go. You have seen my best side, now you will see the worse" His words were laced with venom poisoning me. I never imagined Vikram to be this cruel.

 He doesn't believe you Lila, what do you expect.

I was looking into his eyes, hoping he was bluffing but his dark eyes confirmed that he meant those words

"What is going on here" Harish kaka, kaki and Deepti were standing on the door. Their face wearing fear. 

"You need to make arrangements, I am marrying Lila tomorrow" Vikram bellowed at them.
