chapter 22

When he left, I felt relieved. I put my hand on my heart to calm down. After few seconds, I was calm down. I looked my surroundings. Thank god, everyone was busy themselves. I hoped nobody noticed karan and me so close. I looked at icecream cup which was in front of me. I had no appetite to eat it now that's why i looked at icecream with puffy cheeks.

Forget it, when I will go back my home, I will eat a lot icecream.

I looked at my parents and his parents table. They were talking and enjoying their time only I was seated there and got bored. I had no courage to go on dance floor and dance because I didn't know what would karan do. That's why I decided to go washroom.

I looked myself into mirror. I was not looking my appearance into mirror. I was thinking something. After thinking and decided, I was feeling calm down but my heart was not. I took deep breath and put aside my uneasy feelings.

As I was going towards my table, I stopped myself from bumping someone. He was middle aged man. I apologized him, "Sorry sir."

He smiled polielty, "it's ok young lady."

I nodded and took steps but he called me, "if I am not mistaken, you are Mr Mehta's girlfriend Natasha, right?"

I looked at him with widened eyes because karan let deleted my photos from social media which was taken into his birthday party after I went back to my home. Sameera told me it's for my safety. And I understood because his identity is not common.

I couldn't believe someone remembered my face after many months.

Soon I recovered from  my shock and told him polietly, "I am sorry sir. You took me someone else mistakenly. My name is Mita and I am Miss Mehta's friend." I came to Mehta family. If I told him that I didn't know Karan, he caught my lie suddenly.

He laughed lightly, "You are right, young lady. I am getting old and my memory is getting weak . I took you definitely someone else mistakenly. I am really sorry."

I smiled polielty to ease awkwardness between us, "it's ok sir. Now excuse me please."

He nodded and I left immediately. I didn't think I would meet him ever. That's why I came to my table.

Kavish was on table. When I looked him, I passed him smile, "why did you come back to leave dance floor?"

He took sip from his glass and said nonchalantly, "I got bored there."

I looked at him with suspicious. Who will get bored on dance floor? I knew he was not normal that's why I didn't ask anymore about me.

He asked with raising his eyebrows, "you are looking tensed. Is everything alright?"

I patted on my cheeks from my hands and nodded, "yeah... I think I am tired." I didn't think to tell him what happened just now. I thought that man was really confused.

Suddenly, I choked when I heard his question, "By the way, you are here. Where is karan?"

I glared at him with anger, "why are you asking me? I am not his baby sitter."

He giggled lightly, "You are in bad mood. It seemed he teased you a lot."

I pouted and decided to ignore him because I knew if we argued on that topic, at last I will lose my temper.

We reached at  home late night. But we enjoyed a lot. I forgot the tension soon and was in good mood. But I didn't forget what he said before leaving. When we reached at home, karan was not at home that's why I took relaxation breath. We were really tired and it's late that's why we went to our our room directly after saying goodnight to everyone. Kavish went to his home. He didn't stay at night.

After changing my clothes into nightwear and clearing my face, I was feeling sleepy. But karan's words were buzzing into my ears and mind. That's why I double checked my door lock. After confirming door was locked, I switched off the light and laid on bed. I couldn't sleep because of his teasing at party. I tossed and turned on bed many times.

Finally, I got tired and it's hard to open my eyes. As I was drifting into sleep, I heard door was opened. It seemed that I was dreaming. I felt my bed shifted beside me and a familiar masculine scent came into my nostril. I knew who he is without looking at him. He laid beside me and took me into his embrace, "I came and you are sleeping."

I said with lazy tone, "I am tired. Let me sleep." I took a comfortable position into his blossom.

He chuckled softly, "ok, I will listen you." He kissed on my forehead, "good night."

I was so much sleepy that I didn't think to need open my mouth but only hummed. Soon I slept soundly.

The following day, I woke up and relaised someone beside me. I recalled last time he came back. I opened my eyes and raised my head to look at him. He was sleeping soundly. The sunlight was coming through window as I could see his facial features clearly. A smile came on my lips without effort. It's true he is most handsome man I met till now. Even, my father and brother are handsome but he is different from them.

Unsubconsciously, my hand raised to touch his facial features. My fingers were touching his face and I was enjoying.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and in a blink, he was top of me. His magnetic and sleepy voice came into my ears, "I thought only I was itching to touch you but I was wrong." He was looking into my eyes.

I opened my mouth to explain my action, "Karan.."

But he smacked his lips on mine. I tried to push him away from my hands but he held my hands with his. And damnit, he was strong than me.

We both were breathless thats why he left my lips but his lips started to kiss my neck. He said in hoarse voice, "you can't imagine how I controlled myself at party."

I was lying and trying to catch my breath but after hearing his words it's hard to take breath. I knew very well why he was doing it. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't. I love him and only he has rights to touch me. As his hands slipped under my top, there was a knock on my door.

He stopped and raised his head for looking at me . Our eyes met. I could feel his desire from his eyes. I gulped my saliva. We were looking at each other eyes then I heard Richa's voice, "Mita, get up. Why are you sleeping untill now? Now get up and open the door."

I said to him with pleading tone, "It's Richa."

He got up on me and laid beside me. I got up and adjusted my clothes. When I looked he was lying there with closing his eyes. I said with irritation, "Get up and hide somewhere soon. When I will open the door, she will definitely come in."

He looked at me with dumbfounded. When I realised my mistake, I added, "please, I don't want she will see you here."

He adjusted his weight on his one arm and asked me with lazily, "Where will I hide?" I knew he didn't want it. That's why I rubbed my temple and tried to think. Other side, Richa knocked again impatiently. Then I looked at closet. No way, he will not adjust into it. Only one place was there. I pointed towards bathroom, "Go there and don't make noise."

After thinking, he asked with raising his eyebrows, "then what will I get in exchange?"

There was no time to get angry that's why I said with frustration, "we will talk about it later."

He smirked and went to bathroom. I felt something was off but there was no time to think about it because I heard another knock. I looked myself. When I get satisfied, I opened the door and yawned, "what happened, Richa?"

As I expected, she pushed me aside and came into room. She glared me and started to give me lecture with angrily, "Mita, how can you irresponsible? We are not at our home. You should get up early."

I knew where her lecture was leading that's why I glanced at bathroom door and interrupted her, "Richa, don't forget I lived here before. They knew my daily routine that's why I don't need to show off."

She was speechless for few seconds but she is my sister that's why I knew she never fails into argument. She waved her hand into air and said nonchalantly, "Whatever... But you should need to change yourself. If you don't change your attitude and bad habits, how will you get married in future? You are getting old day by day." what did she mean by getting old day by day? Hello, I am in my late twenties. I haven't cross thirty till now.

I frowned and I knew I will never win over her. And most importantly, I didn't want karan heard our argument that's why I changed the topic, "ok, I understood what you wanna say. Now go and let me get ready."

She shook her head with disappointment. She didn't also want to argue with me that's why she went to closet and took out clothes for me. She threw them towards me and ordered, "go and take bath. I am waiting for you."

I looked at her with widened eyes and thought for any excuse how to send her away. When I didn't move, she glared at me, "What are you thinking?"

I told her, "you go first. I will come soon."

She shook her head and said with seriously, "I am waiting for you here."

I whispered into her ears, "You should take care jiju. May be, he needs something." When I didn't think anything, I tried to use jiju's name.

She blushed and hit me lightly, "Mita, from when are you shameless?"

I looked at her with dumbfounded and thought, 'what did I say wrong?' forget it, this time think how to send her away from this room.

After thinking, She asked with raising her eyebrows, "Mita, we are alone then why are you whispering into my ear? Wait a minute, what happened to your lips? Why have they swelling?"

I touched my lips with my fingers. Damnit, it's Karan's fault. I lied with embrassment in low tone, "I unsubconsciously bit my lips."

She asked with suspicious, "who bit her lips so hard?"

I made my face, "me... Have you any problem?" I pushed her out from room and said, "now you go and let me get fresh."

Without getting her response, I closed the door on her face. I put my hand on my heart to calm down. Then I recalled about karan. I didn't know how much he heard.

I took steps towards bathroom and opened the door. As I opened the door he looked at me. I was speechless when I saw he was preparing the bathtub.

He came to me with bright smile. He pulled me towards himself and sucked my lower lip, "I didn't know you are such a liar."
