Dear, pranali2303 thankyou so much for these lovely covers of my book.

Dhruv and Aditi also making their places in readers heart this is the big achievement for me, thankyou once again.

Aditi's point of view

All my life, I feel unwanted and unloved but when I around Dhruv he makes me feel home and treated me with love and care. To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect, you just have to care.

Be with someone, who will take care of you. Not materialistically, but take care of your soul, your well being, your heart and everything that's you.

When you are in love with someone, it feels amazing to touched by the person who understands you, care for you, the person who acknowledges your flaws and loves your soul.

I feel safe and like home in Dhruv's arms not because I love him, I feel safe and protected because he took care of me in my every flaws and stood like a wall between me and the problems. I feel home in his arms just like right now. Rain still pouring on both of us but I am still in his arms and I never let go this feeling because he made me feel love. None of us said anything just stood their under the rain in each other's arms.

A loud thunder strike in the sky make both of us pull apart from each other and I was the one who broke the hug first. For a mere second, I saw the disappointment in Dhruv's eyes but soon his eyes again shining with grin. Soon reality hit me when I realised that we both are standing outside under the rain. What if someone saw us together hugging each other?

"Dhruv, we can't stand here like this. Someone might see us together." Panic was clearly visible in my vice. I looked left and right and roofs of my neighbour but to my luck no one was out and we both are alone standing on the road.

"So what...? I don't mind seeing with you." He shrugged his both shoulders, like it's not a big deal. Well not for him but for me it's a big deal. I can't afford seeing with him and want the history repeat in my bua ji house.

"Dhruv, You don't understand. Go from here." I said while looking at him with fear.

"But I want to spend some time with you. Will you not invite me inside you house? I know there is no one in your house." He said and amusement was dancing in his eyes.

Bua ji and others are going to be late because it's raining heavily. They can not come in this rain and I also want to spend some more time with him. So I can invite him in.

"Okay, but come fast before someone see us together." I hold his hand and literally dragged him inside the house. I heard his soft chuckle behind me which made my lips curl up into a soft grin.

******

Dhruv and I both get wet completely in rain. We both are stood in the dining hall and running our hands over our clothes to get off the extra drops of rain from our clothes. Light also went two hours back and invertor was also down so I lit candles in whole house which gave us enough lights to see each other.

When I was busy drying myself with my hands, suddenly my eyes fell on Dhruv. He was completely wet and the way his white wet shirt stick to his body like a second skin, I can see through the shirt. His abs, his visible nipples, every thing making him look hot and to make the situation more hot, he was continuously running his fingers in his hair, making them more messier than before, unaware the fact that what he is doing to me. Yes, I love him so it's obvious, I attracted every little things he did but damn look at him, his every move look hot now.

"You got drenched completely in rain. I go, get towel for you." I dragged his attention towards me. He turn to me and then nodded his head yes. I turn and was about to went to kitchen to take my towel.

I grabbed my towel from the lower rack of kitchen but when I saw it, I started having a second thought to give it to him. It was old and torn up in many places. It barely dry my body because it's too old to use. But Dhruv needs it to dry himself. With a hesitate steps I went to Dhruv and gave him a towel hesitantly.

"Thankyou..." He took the towel from me with a soft smile and started rubbing it on his head to dry his hair. I was waiting for him to say anything about towel but he didn't say anything. He didn't even look at my towel's condition.

I turn away and was about go away when...

"Aditi.."I turn and looked at him when he call me.

"Can I have a glass of water? " He said softly with a small smile. I nodded my head and went to kitchen. In my way I dried myself with my dupatta and changed my clothes in a fresh one..

I filled a glass of water for Dhruv and again went back to him but as I entered the dinning hall I halted on my place, glass left from my hand and clattered on ground many times while I was standing there with my open mouth. Hearing the sound of clattering glass Dhruv also turn away and looked at me in confusion. But when he turn I gulped down the saliva in my throat.

He was freeking shirtless.

..and I can see every single things of him which was hiding under the shirt. His chisel chest, his tight abs and biceps. I was feeling like some Bollywood star was standing in front of me.

"Aditi, you okay?" He asked me in concern, unknown with a fact that he was giving a freeking show of his body which I am not used to.

I am not okay, Mr. IAS and the reason is you. You are standing in front of me without a shirt and asking me if I am okay, seriously Dhruv?

I wanted to scream this on his face I batter know that I can't.

I blinked my eyes many time to push away the dirty thoughts from my mind. It's not good to have such thoughts about him. He is out of league for me.

"Yeah, just tripped on my feet." I said while tucking a lock behind my ear while looking down.

"You sure..?" He asked me again. I nodded my head and took the glass from the floor. I turn and again went back to kitchen with my red cheeks.

I come back again with a glass of water but this time I kept my gaze down so I could not see his sinfully beautiful body. But my eyes betrayed me when I gave him the glass and his fingers brushed with mine. He seems to unnoticed it but it create the havocs inside my heart. He drink the water and my eyes could not leave his edam apple which was moving up and down when he was drinking the water.

What us wrong with me? Why am I thinking like this?

He gave me the empty glass and was about to go back to kitchen when..

"Aditi.." He stopped me again. I stopped and turn to him.

"Can you help me drying my hair?" He asked and I hesitate for a second but eventually I nodded my head as yes and took the towel from him.

He sit one of the dinning chair and faced me. I came closer to him and started drying his hair with towel.

Who could thought, one day I will be drying Dhruv's hair with my towel?
Suddenly pair of arms encircled around my waist. I gasped when suddenly Dhruv pulled me towards him and hide his face in my waist. My hands automatically stop doing their work and I put them on his shoulders.

"Dhruv, what are you doing?" I asked him and my cheeks getting more red to see his bare body.

"You are so warm. I like to be like this. Please don't bother about this and continue your work." He said while rubbing his nose on my stomach nuzzled more to me giving me goose bumps and create the sparks. With a trembling hands, I again started drying his head with towel though my mind was busy not to get affected by his actions. His breath was fanning to my stomach and I curled my toes when I feel something wet between my legs.

What is happening with me?

Why am I feeling bothered and hot suddenly?

Is it his effect on me?

He lifted his head from my stomach and looked at me with his black orbs when I halted my moments.

I gasped loudly when he suddenly pulled me on his lap and I hold him by his shoulders. A loose lock fell on my face but neither I nor him bother to tuck it away and keep looking at each other.

Today he was looking at me differently. Not adoration, not care not worry, it was something else like some invisible force pulling us together. His both hands are on my lower back locking me on his lap like eyes locking mine. My heart starts beating faster when he started leaning in and I took a sharp breath when I feel his lips on my right cheek and linger his lips there more than a minute.

"Dhruv..What are you doing?" My voice heavy with emotions and it came out as a whisper.

"Kissing away your pain." He whispered while rubbing his nose to my cheeks and then went down to the crook of my neck. My mind stopped working and I leaned back my head to give him more space.

"Does this happen between friends?" I asked him with my heavy breath. Though he was not kissing me but still the way he ran his nose up and down on my bare neck was enough for me to loose all my sanity. I have never feel like this. It's like, I stepped into something sensitive yet so beautiful which makes me feel amazing.

"I don't know." He whispered and I gasped loudly when he kissed, exact between my right shoulder and neck. I fisted his hair at the scalp and pulled him more to me. I don't know what us happening with me but I feel loved by someone who is very close to my heart and I like this feeling.

He bite the place at the crook of my neck and then run his tongue over the place again and again while giving a sloppy kisses there, making me go crazy. I feel wetness between my legs and something hard was pocking on my inner thighs, making me damped in my own liquid.

He keep doing his sweet assault with his tongue and lips on my neck but at the back of my mind I know it's wrong. What is happening between us is wrong. I should stop him but why could I not found myself, pushing him away? Why am I keep pulling him towards me?

"Dhruv...we should stop." I whispered between my heavy breath but instead of pushing him away, I pull him more to me.

"Shhhh...." He shushed me and keep kissing on my neck. I felt tears at the back of my eyes and a lone tear slide down from my cheek. It felt so good to be kissed by the person you love but the worst feeling was, you know it's wrong but at the same time you want yo continue this. I closed my both eyes again let myself enjoy this moment little more but the guilt inside me keep telling me to stop him.

He leaned beck and looked at me with his hooded eyes. He pushed back my hair with his hand and make my face lean to him. His eyes again fill with concern when he saw the glistening lone tear on my right cheek.

"Aditi, I don't know if it is right or wrong but I want to kiss away your pain." Worry was fill in his eyes when he looked at me with concern.

He make my face lean more to him and I closed my eyes when I feel his lips on my forehead. I don't know what I am feeling right now but I want yo live this moment fully. I know happiness never long last in my life so it doesn't hurt to do something which is not right.

Dhruv then move to my eyes and kiss both my eyes making my tears fall freely from my eyes which I was holding from long, then he moved to my right cheek and sucked my tears. Indeed he was kissing away my pain because I was feeling calm somewhere. Now I feel like, there is someone who is taking care of me.

I opened my eyes slowly and found him looking at my lips without blinking. My cheeks are beetroot and his continuous gaze making me feel cautious and I lower down my eyelids when I could not hold his gaze more. Suddenly I feel his thumb on my lower lip making me lifted my eyelids and look at him. His eyes still on my lips and he was tracing his thumb over my lover lip.

He then lifted his eyes to look at me and I found the emotions in which someone see his lover when he was about to make love with her. He hold my chin and slowly lifted it. I closed my eyes when he started leaning his face to me. His own eyes are closed and I can only hear the heart beats of our hearts.

The fact that he was shirtless and I was sitting on his lap, creating havocs in my body. I never feel this body attraction towards anyone before Dhruv. I don't know what is in him which makes me cross all my boundaries and let him do what he wants to do with me.

Our face only a inch away and I was waiting for the moment when I was about to kiss the person whom I am in love with since I my childhood. I am about to give my fist kiss to my handsome neighbour. I feel his hot breath on my lips and our lips about to meet when...

Ting..Tong..

A door bell rung loudly and the sound echoed in the hall. Dhruv and I both open our eyes abruptly and soon realisation hit me when I noticed our position. I immediately get up from his lap and stood at least one feet away from him. Dhruv was also looked shock as mine because the confusion was written all over on his face. It seems like we both our compelled in some kind of spell because we both don't know how I end up on his place.

Did we just about to kiss each other?

Ting..Tong...

My eyes went wide in horror when door bell ring again and the possibility of my bua ji and her family was standing outside was high.

"Don't worry. It must be food, I ordered before." He said without looking at me. He stood up from the chair, took his mobile phone from the table and walked to the main door till then I run to washroom to calm down down my racing heart.

***

I don't know what happened between me and Dhruv was right because morally it was incorrect. We crossed the line of friendship. I could stop him, I could push him but I didn't because I was hypnotised by my emotions that my mind stop working and I was enjoying every of his touch.

I remember when Rahul used to molest me, I used to disgust myself. I used to spend hours in shower just to remove his touch from me like his touch burnt my skin and I want claw it out from my body but when Dhruv started kissing me on my neck I was feeling like someone touch me first time. He was not kissing my body but making love with my soul. He touched my soul. His touch burnt my skin, yes, but in different way and I like that feeling. I don't want him to stop and I might not if door bell not rang on time.

But after experiencing that amazing feeling, I was feeling guilty now. Only I am in love with him, Dhruv doesn't love him. He was helping me because of his kind heart and I should not took advantage of his kindness. He must be regretted now because since last ten minutes he didn't utter a word. he wasn't eating just playing with his food and lost in his own thoughts.

Dhruv ordered food for both of us and he make sure that my plate was fill with food. In actual I was also not paying attention to my food right now because I was busy looking at Dhruv. Looking at him like this, right now make me feel more regret. I looked down in my plate and started eating my food slowly.

Suddenly Dhruv put one more chapati and served more curry in my bowl.

"Dhruv, Please don't, I am already full." I tried to stop him but he didn't listen.

"You need to eat to make yourself function." He said while serving rice in my plate.

"But.."

"If you don't, I will feed you by myself." He said sternly and I started eating my food silently with a fear that he might do what he was saying.

"You didn't had your lunch today. Never do that again." He said while taking out some medicines from the med box. I was glad that he was not saying anything about our intimate session before because it makes me feel more guilt.

"What are these for?" I asked while pushing away my food slightly, when I finished eating.

"You don't have to know this, just know that these are important for your health." He said while putting medicines in mouth and make my gulp them with water. I also didn't ask him further because I trust him.

****

When the life abandoned you and the people around you, make you feel worthless but only one person standing in that crowd support you, be with you in your tough time, you don't need him to pass the toughest phase of your life but being him there, walking with you so he could be there when you need him, makes you feel special and love again. No matter what people think about you but that single person leave not single chance make you feel special.

He again lighten up hope inside you that he is there for you no matter what and assure that one day you will be out from this mess. He will give you that little push in your life that you can again stand up in you feet.

...and that little hope lighten up in my life is Dhruv. He is the only person who used to only light in my darkness. He left me, now he came back again. I am not sure if I ever could get out this mess or not but I always be thankful to him to give me that little hope again. l

I was looking at him while he was looking at the rain through the kitchen window. After we finished dinner Dhruv helped me with dishes, then he asked me to show my room but when I pointed him towards the kitchen, I could not forget the look into his eyes and the way he was looking at me. They were filled with concern and worry. I wanted to take him outside in the backyard but he told he wanted to sit on the kitchen floor with me. So I spread my torn thin bedsheet on the floor and we both settled on it.

Our back are resting on the wall and I open the kitchen's door and windows which open in the backyard so cold breeze could pass in the kitchen to make it less suffocated. Rain is still pouring heavily and I wonder if any of my family could come in this bad weather.

"It was raining that day also when I saw you the first time." I looked at him he also turn his head to me and gave me his soft smile.

"I remember, I was so frustrated and went to terrace to get damped in rain when I saw you coming to your terrace wearing that beautiful red suit and your earrings and bangles. You were dancing like a free bird. That day you were looking so beautiful that I could not help myself to remove my eyes from you. That was the first time I was seeing someone that long." He has that dreamy smile on his face like he was living that moment again and on the other side I was left stunned of his confession.

I used to be the one who used to wait for him on my terrace until he didn't show up. I could never thought that he noticed me that time because I remember
