Next day , Atharv asked her "Firefly ! Why did you say all that to me last night? Someone said something to you ?" He asked caressing her cheek.

"Sasha....She said that you give her looks. She will have you in no time." Atharv's closed his fists to control his anger. " I am just a dumb daddy's princess. " Reya continued. The sulky look on her face made Atharv smile .

He tweaked her nose before kissing it. "She was talking shit. You don't need to feel bad about what she said " He said kissing her forehead and Reya relaxed in his hold.

All of them were sitting in the cafeteria of their college. Talking about nothing and everything.

Ishaan was messing with Zoya ,when she said "When is Big B coming back, you are just getting out of control "

Ishaan laughed "Not for another some weeks. I will do whatever I want till then " He said.

"You think , I can't complain to him on phone ?" Zoya asked getting irritated.

"No! You love me too much for that " He said pulling her cheek.

"Now I am curious about meeting you big B. Want to see the source of all these talks "Adira said with a grin.

"Oh you will soon" Reya said.

"By the way, is there something going on between you two, that we don't know about?" Ansh said eyeing Reya and Atharv.

"May be " Atharv said seriously. He didn't want to hide anything. It wasn't like he was ever going to be with someone else and he hadn't forget Ansh's interest in Reya. It was time to stake claim.

Reya blushed red "I should have known it. Have you seen the pictures of them sleeping in bus. They were looking so cute and cozy" Zoya said clapping her hand and it only served Reya to get redder.

Reya and Atharv got more close with passing time. They kissed each other whenever they were left alone. Need to be closer was getting higher in both of them.

Atharv could control, but it was getting difficult for Reya . She didnt understand why she tilted her head and exposed her neck, whenever she got taken away.

Her soft whimpers and her need to be his completely made Atharv think about his decision. He didn't want to follow the rituals to the end, when she didn't even know what it meant to be his or who he actually was.

He placed a kiss on her neck and started running his hand on her back in a relaxing motion. Soon the anticipation and need levelled down and she relaxed in his lap.

Reya's parents still didn't know about their relation, unlike Atharv’s family. Reya had met them more times than she could count. They all were so welcoming, Meera treated her so lovingly, it warmed her heart.

She remembered that she had gone to Atharv's place with him, leaving Zoya with Ishaan.

Meera had taken Reya to her room, Reya was confused about her plans.

"Here ! Its for you " Meera said handing her a box. She had gotten a Gucci bag for Reya" Actually, Adira had been wanting it. So I got it for both of you "She said.

"You didn't need to "Reya said feeling shy and a bit uncomfortable "I am just a girlfriend of your son “She said.

"Oh no! You are the girl, my son loves and will love till he leaves this world. So don't expect me to treat you any less special" Meera said ruffling her hair.

"How can you be sure , that I am for him ?"Reya said showing her doubts .

"Daughter , I know my son and I know, what's between you two. Once you will understand it all , you won't doubt it ever again. Let's go downstairs, before he comes here " Meera said and Reya got up.

Time was passing, handling Reya and his own feelings was becoming difficult for him. He knew that he needed to tell her the complete truth. But he didn't know, how. He was afraid of her rejection. This time, there won't be any chances of her direct denial.
