Chapter 06

Third Person's POV:

"Who the hell was she?" He asked gritting his teeth.

"Who?" Unfazed with his anger, the person in front of him answered boldly.

"Gaurav!" Manik spoke sternly glaring at his brother.

"As if you don't know!" Gaurav, somewhat scared, dared to roll his eyes admist Manik glaring at him with those eyes blazing with fire.

"She can't be HER" Manik replied dazed with the new revelations.

"But why can't she be HER? They are similar and you know I'm not just talking about her looks!" Gaurav replied trying to knock some brains into his brother.

"I don't know man.." Manik trailed off with a defeated sigh while glancing at the MAN standing silently their in the corner of the room.

"I know it's not easy for you. And you know it's not easy for us as well but we have to do this" Gaurav tried to make him understand but he was just staring at the MAN standing at the corner of room.

After a few moments, Manik just left the room without glancing at anybody present there. While that MAN and Gaurav looked at his retreating figure.

Elena's POV

Why? Why can't problems just leave me alone? Why does trouble love me so much? Why the hell my fate hate me so much? Why? Why?? Why!??.

I don't even know what should I do next? I leave the job but then lose this apartment as well. I keep the job but then keep that dangerous entity looming on my head as well. God? Was it necessary for him to be at the same damned house where I got such a decent job??

I can't even leave the job, I need to pay rent and buy me something to fill my groceries. I can't probably starve due to that "Mr. Self Centered Arrogant" now, can I? I am not sure about my nightmares, I mean he is the same man I see in my nightmares but that doesn't mean he is dangerous to me right? I didn't even knew him before yesterday, not technically though. So there's no chance of him sueing me without any reason now, can he? Nope! He won't.

I would have still kept the job after that revelation of him related to Aarav and Gaurav sir but then he had to show his arrogant side to innocent me! Arghhh I hate him so much!!!

*Flashback*

"Yes, Chachu"

The man standings at the door looking at us or you can say particularly 'me' with those unfathomable expressions that I failed to decipher. His voice alone was enough to send shivers down my spine and his eyes, the way he was looking at me, his expressions, everything wanted me to cover back and hide somewhere. What is this man exactly?

"What happened Manik?" Gaurav sir asked seemingly confused by his glares and mine and Aarav's state.

"Why don't you ask this girl a few questions before asking me anything? Who the hell she thinks of herself to snatch my nephew away from my hold like I'm someone who could harm him? Okay I can understand she doesn't knew me as his uncle but then why the hell did she ran away after looking at me like I'm the reason she has lost most precious thing in her life and now I'll kill her at any instance if she doesn't run for her life?" He asked Gaurav sir all the while glaring at me with those hypnotizing pair of deep chocolate brown eyed. Hypnotizing what?? What the hell Elena?? Focus!!

"What is he saying Elena?" Gaurav sir inquired still confused by our behaviors

Well, he was technically right. He literally snatched my most precious things from me, my sleep and my peace. But how can I tell him this? He will probably think of me as some creep and Gaurav sir would probably ask me to leave the job as he can't give the responsibility of his dearest son to a lunatic like me! "No!!"

"What happend Miss Singh? Why are you shouting like this?? Are you alright?" I came out of my reverie by Gaurav sir's voice. Gaurav was looking at me concerned while Manik sir, Aarav's dearest uncle was looking at me like I've grown two horns over my head. I guess I thought that aloud.

"Nothing.." I replied looking at the tiles beneath my feet. They are cool no? Yup they look pretty.

"I guess my brother just asked you something? Miss Singh, Why did you behaved like that back in Aarav's room like that??" Mr. Chachu asked arrogantly.

"I.. Uh.. that.." Come on Elena think something fast! "Yeah! He looks scary" I fumbled at the beginning and then completed in a go and gave a colgate advertising smile to Gaurav sir. Aarav was too busy playing with some kind of toy Gaurav sir gave him to notice us.

"What the hell??" Manik sir shouted at the top of his voice. While Gaurav sir was looking at us dumbfounded.

"Did you just called me? ME?? The most handsome bachelor of this city! Scary?? Did you ever, even saw yourself in mirror Miss Potato??" Mr. Egoistic Arrogant Malhotra replied.. Oh sorry.. shouted at me.

What the hell now!! I know I'm bit chubby and short heightened but that doesn't give him any right to call me potato on my face! I do think of him as Mr. Egoistic Arrogant Malhotra but that doesn't mean I'll say it on his face right?

Okay I guess I offended him, I mean, Okay he is handsome but that doesn't mean he will show off right? And on the top of that he is too arrogant, doesn't know how to talk to a pretty lady politely.

His tone angered me so replied to him in the same tone as him. "So what? I will call you whatever you look like! You are my boss doesn't mean I'll praise you to please you! And dare you call me that again!!" I crossed my arms on my chest and glared back at him equally.

He was about to reply back but was cut off by someone laughing. We turned to see the source and saw Gaurav sir laughing while holding his stomach!

"What are you laughing on ? Do you think we are making any kind of jokes over here?" Mr. Arrogant asked him, arrogantly off course.

"Scary.. Potato.. Oh my God.." He managed to utter in between his ragged breath after laughing on us.

"Oh God! It's too confusing to guess who js the child here? Aarav or both of you?" He started laughing again. I was embarrassed and Mr. Arrogant was standing there, without any kind of embarrassment, glaring at Gaurav sir.

"You find this funny?? Fine then, Let me tell Yuvraj you ate all his favorite icecream last week and see what is more funny? This or your face when he'll beat the hell out of you for even touching his food?" Manik sir smirked at Gaurav sir who looked horrified.

"No! You won't!"

"Try me" Manik sir smirked coyly at Gaurav sir and left the room not before uttering those words that made my insides boil in anger.

"Anyways I'm out of here. And yeah Miss bak bak stay away from me. You make me feel like pucking and I don't want to fall sivk by looking at not so pretty face of yours again and again"

*Flashback Ends*

After he left, Gaurav sir apologized to me several times but it wasn't his fault that his brother is so annoying and arrogant. Huff! That man is dangerous! Ahan! Dangerously attractive! But I don't want to get involved in anything that will make him even think of murdering me.

God?? What was I even thinking while fighting with him?? He could have even sued me for everything I uttered in the fit of anger yet he didn't. It was such a relief but foe how long? He can do anything to me anytime now that I'll always be here in his house.

"Scared?" I jumped at my place due to sudden interruption. I was too busy in my thinking session that I didn't noticed Yuvraj sir coming here.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" He apologized sincerely. "No sir, It's not your fault. I was just zoned out" I replied back smiling politely.

"Oh come on! I'm not your boss. I'm his friend Yuvraj Mehra. But you can call me Yuvraj." He gave me a friendly smile.

"Uhh.. Okay.. Yuvraj" I smiled back at him. He looks decent and nice. Not like that Arrogant Malhotra huhh! Wait! Why am I even thinking about him??

"By the way I heard what happened yesterday. Gaurav couldn't stop laughing and that pissed Manik too much! Belive me it was so funny to see him pissed by someone after so long!" He chuckled at the memory while I was scared. He was pissed means he can do anything to me now that I'm here. He would have been probably waiting for my arrival to take revenge.

As if sensing my fright, Yuvraj chuckled again before saying "Don't worry he isn't here, he's gone out of station for a week due to some business"

And that was relief! Thank God!!!
