Diya pov

"I never know you would move this fast" his words felt like a knife directly getting down through my heart....painfully.....

"Do you have any problem with it?" I asked him angrily hiding my pain, "YES I have a problem when YOU roam around like this letting a man flirt with you" should I be happy or angry on him?

"I don't see any flirting there" he ran his hands vigorously on his hair and came close to me again, "Yeah no flirting just he is proposing you" he yelled hitting the tree behind me harshly I gasped seeing his sudden anger and then he grabbed me by my waist looking deep into my eyes as our faces are inches apart as his closeness is eating me slowly.

"What did you say to him?" he asked in his low yet strong tone making my knees go weak, I shook my head no, "I said I can't" for a second I saw his eyes relaxed hearing my answer so I continued, "but I will say yes if I find him he is a good man than you" I saw something flickering in his eyes hearing my lie but quickly masking it he left me hastily.

What should I understand by his activity is he acting being possessive or the Arjun I love is still inside him?

Not wanting to waste his afternoon I again walked towards the party hall which is now filled with laughter and music and some with their food. Feeling hungry I took a plate of food and started to have it.

"Try this spicy sausage" Esben placed a bowl on my plate, "it's my favorite one," he said sitting beside me.

"Thanks," I said and tasted it, "Nice" I don't feel like eating it but for him, I ate it with a smile.

"So do you like the Party?" he asked taking a spoon of rice glancing around the party.

"It's really beautiful but sadly I don't know anyone here so felt like lack of company" he gave me a questioning look and pointed to my backside, "see your relative boy there" I turned to his pointed finger direction and saw Arjun talking with a bunch of girls and two women. Won't he ever talk with men? Always talking with girls.

"He is having a friendship with this whole apartment peoples but he didn't introduce you with anyone?"

'why would he do it, he wanted to get rid of me' I said in my mind, "let him enjoy" I laughed drubbing my anger.

"Okay... but I can introduce you to a gang and I am sure you will love it," he said dragging me grabbing my hands, after crossing many peoples he stopped in front of a group of peoples where I never had seen anyone.

"Welcome to kids and kids group" I laughed loud seeing him as he is bending his head like bowing to me. There are nearly 12 to 15 old peoples and nearly 15 to 17 kids sitting. I stopped laughing when I saw the elder peoples seeing me with a smile and the kids are literally glaring at me but my eyes stuck at one twinkling eye which is happy to see me. Krish.

"Hello twinkling star" he waved his hand at me but quickly it falls when a boy near him glared at him.

"Hello cutie boy," I said moving my gaze to the KIDS TO KIDS Group over again. "This is found by me and these are our team association we will meet every Sunday at 5 pm sharp and will play until 9 pm. No youth or aunties or uncles is allowed in this group" Esben said.

"And you are also not allowed" I heard a small voice from the little people's group, "And why is that?" I asked.

"We don't know you," one said, "They know me well by playing with me I am free the whole day" some faces turned into a smile but still I saw some stiff faces wondering can these small kids have an attitude?

"Who are you?"

"Diya, Arjun's relative" 

"Then you will be just like him... always grumpy," one girl said folding her hands, "She is not" Krish again tried to take my side, "We accept you," one old lady said smiling at me while all others nodded their head in yes. Maybe I can spend some quality of time with them.

"I need a person to make them smile when I leave from here that's why I think you will be the one, with love and care flowing from your eyes" I looked at him with disbelief.

"We will accept you after playing with you. This Saturday at this same place. Sharp at 6 pm" these don't look like kids they are mature with their words with their commanding tone.

"Aye captains" I bowed my head and sat along with them to have chat with them while some passed me a weird look, "how did an unknown girl get into their group?"

"Who is she?"

"Did they accept her?"

"Is she good?"

Esben answered all of their questions calmly while I spent more than half an hour with the children.

"May I have danced with you?" Esben asked me forwarding his hand. I felt like someone is looking at me keenly I looked around and saw Raghav looking at me with a smile on his face, to ignore his gaze I accepted Esben's offer and moved forward to the dance floor which is lit with dim lights making my dress glow in its own dark.

"So what are you doing?" I asked him walking towards the floor.

"Constructions"

"Wow I like seeing beautiful buildings and their unique designs, Esben"

"Ben will be fine I think" I nodded my head, "And you?" he asked me, "I studied business" once we reached the floor I saw many couples dancing there slowly for the slow romantic songs, I placed my one hand on his shoulder and other his other hand with his, while his other hand traveled to my waist I suddenly felt my body stiffen.

"Okay relax," he said and gently placed his hands on my back not touching my waist, "So I think I can get any advice regarding business from you anytime?" I laughed, "I am not that intelligent but I will give you when you need my advice"

"Cool," his gaze moved away from me looking around and stopped in a place for a whole 3 seconds, "why is he behaving like this?" I followed his gaze and saw Arjun sitting near the dance floor deep in these thoughts ignoring his fans who are sitting near him.

"Don't know" I said simply fixing my gaze on him whose face looks sad. My heart has already gone to him but my brain told me not to go. When I am deep in my thoughts I felt Ben's hand left me and got replaced by some warm hand taking my hand and saw it's Raghav smiling at me sweetly.

Involuntarily I saw Arjun is missing from his seat. "Looking for someone?" he asked seizing his lips, "No. Just looking for Ben"

"Oh, he left as I wanted to have somewhat with you"

"Okay," I said looking at my foot feeling different having his hand on my waist, not uncomfortable but definitely not comfortable either when I came to know he likes me, "don't worry I won't speak something which will make you feel uncomfortable" he spoke with a warm smile, I just returned it with a small smile.

"Are you always silent?"

"Yes. I don't talk much" he cut me in middle, "but when you do, it is full of sweet," he said laughing for his own joke.

"Ahaan?"

"Yeah, anyone will like you at their first talk with you" I raised my eyebrows, "are you trying to plant your words in my heart?"

"I would be happy if it did" I laughed a bit, "you are worse then Ben" he is really flirting openly.

"By the way why do you stay with Arjun?" 

"My parents are out of the country, so I came here" he gave me a weird look, "his parents are also in this same city right, why haven't you stayed with them instead of a bachelor?" I really felt irritated with this question feeling his possessiveness.

"It's my wish to stay anywhere I want...." I was cut off in middle.

"And you don't have to say what she wants to do" we stopped dance in the middle when Arjun interrupted us with an angry look and stone as a hard voice.

"I am sorry Diya I didn't mean it" he saw me with pleading eyes which melted my heart, "it's o..."

"You can leave Mr. Raghav," Arjun said harshly with a burning fire in his eyes but ignoring him Raghav once again looked at me and said, "Sorry" and went away from there sadly peeking glances at me.

"Stop looking at him like that" Arjun's irritated voice made me turn to him, "like what?"

"Like you are going to run into his arms"

"You wanted me to go away from you right? Then you should be happy for it" instead of replying to me he dragged me again to dance floor sneaking his hands around my waist possessively which felt really good.

"Anyone but not him," he said as I moved away and again came to his arms swirling around myself due to the increase in music beats, "but I like him, his sweet voice, sweet gesture, did you see how he hold me softly" I continued when I felt his hold increased in my waist, "everything about him is just perfect and that possessiveness is really cute right?"

"Yeah, yeah everything about him will be cute for you. Then why haven't you married him instead of me?" he tried to act normal with an empty expression but I can see his eyes more than he sees himself except his act.

I nodded my head, "yeah if he came just a week before you I would have married him" while his gaze is throwing fire on something and it's none other than Raghav who is playing with Krish but stealing glances at us now and then.

"Stop glaring at him," I said pinching his nose making him turn to me, "by the way this anger looks cute on you"

"I am not angry" he protested, "you are Arjun" his eyes bored deep into mine, "let's go," he said dragging me off the floor and started to walk towards the apartment. After getting in he just sat on the couch removing his shirt and shoes while I went into his room and changed into a simple white and black pajamas adding more water to his bed and couch.

'Good night Mr. Arjun' I mocked looking at it and walked out taking my blanket and a pillow and settled on the couch while he went in to change the dress. Waiting for his drama I laid on the couch pretending to sleep.

"You added more water?" he roared from inside, giggling myself I again closed my eyes.

"Diya I am talking to you answer me dammit"

"Yeah, it's me. So what? let me sleep. because of you, I can't sleep for 3 days" a few minutes late again he shouted my name.

"What the hell do you need Arjun?"

"You stole my key too?" 

"No. I just throw it away from the balcony" he ran fast and came back to me angrily, seeing him I laid comfortably controlling my loud laugh. Within a second I felt my body been lifted off the couch like a sack of potatoes and made me stand, he was about to lie down I sat on the other end. 

"Get off the couch," I said throwing a cushion pillow at him, "I will leave the bed for you. Sleep happily" he said like a saint.

"Oh saint what a sacrifice you are doing? But I don't want my husband to suffer sleeping uncomfortable couch. So you can sleep there" 

"It's okay wifey. I myself letting you sleep there"

I hit his arm hard which felt like a mosquito bite for him, "stop calling me wifey when you don't mean it" I said angrily hiding my pain emitting from my heart, he is just mocking me when his words are full of hate. The tears and pain which I tried to bury in my heart came out again as he took those out again.

I hugged my knees keeping my head on my knees controlling my tears. And tears spilled out when I felt his hand around me pulling me to him while I protested my best, "go away Arjun" his warmth filled my whole body passing through his hand.

"You know how much I love you Arjun yet you decided to betray me for taking revenge on my father, you should have killed me instead of having my body and using it for your revenge and whenever you are calling me wifey, I felt like being a prostitute for one night it's hurting me Arjun, nothing felt precious to me more than my purity but it has been playing like a football between you and my father.

I just wanted to die when you throw money on my face. Am I selling my body to get money from you?" I felt his hands go under my legs taking me to his lap while I still cried holding my face. He let me cry without uttering a word which breaks me even more, "you haven't even thought about me before doing this...." he hugged me tight while I cried hugging him putting my face in his neck. 

Still loving him is wrong but I can't help but forgiving his mistakes when my heart becomes big when it comes to him.

He cupped my face wiping my tears slowly and kissed my forehead, "I promise you...snow, I won't touch you hereafter without love" I cried more as his words registered in my mind, "means you don't love me now Arjun"

"Time will answer Diya but my heart can't accept you the way you want" I am losing my trust heading his words, it's never reflecting love but I still feel he is lying to himself... I am not going to try anything hereafter Arjun. If you are meant to be mine you will be......
