Riya's pov :

Arohi : Dinesh filed complain against him for still unknown reason.. and that ruthless man made sure he suffered his whole life..Police turned against Dinesh and arrested him. I still feel pity for him.

What? My head is about to blast with all these informations.. Will police turn against me and inform him ? If they do, i'm sure he'll ruin my life too..

Riya : what should i do now ?

I was looking expectantly for their ideas..But all of a sudden Arohi jumped out of her sitting place ..

Arohi : Gosh !! What was that ?!

Rahul : It's vibrating sound of the phone idiot...U've been sitting comfortably on the phone the whole time ..Here Riya, Disinfect your phone before using it.

Rakesh : Oh my god !! Didnt you feel it Arohi ? 😂😂

Rithu : thats so funny seeing you jump like that .

Riya : all were busy laughing..But i was beyond shocked and stunned ! The msg on my phone left me baffled..A lump started to form in my throat..No, im not ready for this.

Rahul : Riya?? Riya ?? Riyaaaa !!..im calling you for the 10 th time. Where were you lost?

I just handled my phone flashing the message to him.

"Meet me at sharp 10 in my office"
-Akshay.
Read the msg.

Riya : No,im not ready ! I cant do this.Has police informed him ?

Rakesh : I think they would have.

Arohi : what are we going to do now? Should Riya go tomorrow?

Rahul : No.

Riya : No, i dont want to go to that hellhole again...He's too much for me..He's too much powerful for his own good...

Rakesh : But you should go Riya ! Atleast he called you to meet in office unlike Dinesh who was directly arrested.

Rahul : but what if he hurt Riya again?

Rakesh : Riya, you should handle him very carefuly. .Dont go against him..Go with his flow..We will find a way out soon.

Arohi : that sounds right for me !

Rithu : You are a strong girl Riya.Dont worry.

I nodded my head not knowing what to do !

Rakesh : ok Riya, we will leave now...you take rest.We will be always there to support .

Rahul : Riya ,keep our numbers in fast dial...call anyone of us if the situation goes out of your hand.

Riya : sure .

Arohi : Dont worry my darloo...You will handle this.

I smiled at her weakly.

Rithu : Bye Riya, you have us.dont worry.

Then they left leaving me alone to drown in my own thoughts..

I couldnt sleep the whole night ! That one message is giving me shivers..Why god why me? I just started to live my life .. Cant you leave me peacefully for some time?.

I turned and tossed and continued..Oh god ! Its already 3 ...just 7 More hours remaining. Only miracles can save me...How good it will be if the sun never rises ! How badly i want the world to perish now !!

Im sure on only one thing.he will make me get admitted in mental asylum very soon !!.

Its 8.45. I just came out of the shower which did nothing soothing to my nervousness today..I absent mindedly took the churidhar which is placed on top of my cupboard..I got ready and headed out to face the hell of my life..Im in no mood to take my breakfast today..im in no mood to do anything actually..I wanted to go to an island faraway from everyone where I can live my life peacefully with no one to boss me around ..Please god ! Grand me this wish..i will be forever faithful.

I've been ranting nonstop nonsense in mind..

I didnt realize i already entered my office gate and walking towards the building...My heart beat became eratic..

I entered the entrance of the hell hole..God ,please please be with me..You have never been until yesterday..what have i ever done to you ? Atleast be with me for today ..

I pressed the 20th floor button of the elevator with shaky hands.. The elevator made a cling sound reminding me that im almost near the hell hole. I dragged myself towards hellhole.. Im going to enter the nightmare of my life.

"Hey Liya"

" Hello Ms.Riya.goodmorning..im informed already..He's waiting for you " said Liya.

Waiting for me? You are sooo finished Riya ..i mentally cursed my luck my star and every possible thing.

Praying god i knocked the door to hear the same voice .

I entered in with full nervousness...when i entered i found another man with him...Relief flooded in me to the know the fact that i no need to be alone with him .

I went in and stood there quiet.
"Hello Ms.Riya.Im gowtham.Akshay's friend" said the new man .

How in earth does he have a friend who knows manners .im quite amused.

I mumbled a quiet hello sir.

"We'll go for a date tonight." He said making me freeze..

Out of everything in the world i never expected him to say this..I was ready for a 'your life is ruined Riya speech'..

What a way to ask a girl for a date ? He never asks,only orders..Yet my innerself danced knowing i'll not be harmed by him yet..His friend murmered something in his ears which only god knows .But as he being he,ignored him,turned to me and ordered to be ready at 7 and he would pick me up from my home..
I said yes sir and stormed out of the hell hole.

Only after coming out, my heart beat got back its normal phase .. I was walking out of the building when i heard someone calling me.

"Ms Riya "

I turned to find the man in his room.

"Yes sir".

"Im so sorry for what he did to you...I know thats so wrong of him to have behaved to you like that .But you are very important and special to him. He never went on a date with any girl .. please give him a chance.."

He said. Chance ? My foot !! Wait until i plot a perfect sketch to get out his hold. I thought mentally .
I just nodded my head to him.

"And he gets what he wants by hook or crook..So for now Please go with his flow ..I dont want him to hurt you .If you dont like him even after knowing him I'll help you get out of it.But please try to know him...Trust me ! He's a gem inside " he said.

All i heard was "i'll help you out of it" ..

"I would really be grateful if you could help me out if it" i said to him.

He nodded and left

I went home and slept not wanting to think about the so called date.

Akshay's pov :

My phone flashed an unknown number..It should be an important call or person.Otherwise they wouldnt have got my num or call me.
I answered it.

"Yes"

"Gud evening sir, im prathap kumar,Superintendent of police".

"Okay?"

"Sir, a girl named Riya filed harrasment complain against you in your area station..as its you, inspector informed me..I just called you to inform sir,nothing more than that"

"Fine.I'll take care .You can meet my PA and she'll do the needful to you".i said and cut the call.

I just promised myself And You have to pull this brave act of yours Riya..

But Thaaaat's so impressive kitten !! I like the fierce side of yours ..I'll leave you for now and concentrate on my promise..

I called Gowtham.
"Where are you?"

"Right at your doorstep man, come open the door for me". Said Gowtham.

I opened the door.

"What were you doing?"asked he.

"Nothing much..Received a call from SP".

"For what?"

"Riya went to station to file complain against me amd he called to inform me that"

"shit !! " cursed he.

"Police is nothing new for us .why this cursing?".

"Mr. I cursed bcz i dont want Riya to face your wrath again.".

"Dont worry too much for ur sister..I decided not to force her and decided to give a try for ur words".

"Am i dreaming? Is this a dream? Ohh someone pinch me !"

"Hey. Drama queen..stop ur dramas" i mocked him.

"What should i do now?..I'll try just for once..if something goes wrong,i'll take my way then". I warned

"This is more than what i expected..cant believe still !"

"What now ?" I asked

" ask her for a lunch or dinner like a date and try to impress her.learn more about her and let her learn you"he said.

"Date ? I dont do datings..only fu**ings".

"Gosh ! Do you want Riya as one night strand or your life partner? First have clarity in that".

"No way i would think Riya like that..I want her to be my wife".

"Then do what i say.message her to meet you at 10 tomorrow"

"Done "

He snatched my mobile to see the message i've sent her.

"Seriously ? 'Meet me at sharp 10 in office' .No hlo nothing ?".

"Message is conveyed !!" I shrugged.

"Cant ask more.one step at a time..I'll come with you tomorrow to your office"

"Sure".

"Fine.I'll take my leave now...see you tomorrow".

I nodded.

Next day,

We are currently sitting in our office waiting for Riya to show up..Exactly at 10 we heard a knock on the door and we know who that would be.

"Come in".

She entered with full nervousness and seeing Gowthan her face visibly relaxed...i wonder why.

She came inside and stood quietly.

"Hai Ms.Riya..im Gowtham.Akshay's friend" my dear friend introduced himself knowing I'll never do that for him..

Her eyes flashing slight amusement .

"Hello sir". She said in her low sweet voice.

Enough of their greetings

"We'll go for a date tonight.". I said to her.

Riya's eyes popped out and Gowtham coughed .He dragged me towards him and "Man ! Dont you have a single calm,sweet ,romantic type of bone among rude,commandi ng bones?" He whispered.

I ignored and turned to Riya.

"Be ready at sharp 7. I'll pick you up from your home".

"Ye...yes sir " saying that she stormed out of the room.

"Man ! Is this the way to ask a girl for date? You should ask her.Not order her". He started saying some nonsense .

"Go arrange for the date.Make sure to make privacy the first priority.." I said him ignoring his before speech..

He exhaled loudly ,said sure and went to make the arrangements.

Never in my dreams i thought i would go for a date !!

Wohooo ..Akshay and Riya going for a date !! Thats so unusual of Akshay.What will happen in their so called date?
