Chapter 12

Anvitha's pov:

The next few days flew so fast. There is only 2 days left as Anvitha Kumar. My name, my identity, place everything is going to change. As the day passed my nervousness is increasing.

I thought of spending some time with my parents but they are busy inviting guest as other things they took complete responsibility arranging everything. So they are quite worried that they couldn't organise the marraige as it was their dream.

My parents as usual left the city to invite people to marraige and they won't be coming tonight. So, me and karan are staying and we had planned movie marathon. He had seminar in the morning and evening rounds after that he is free. Untill then i had to stay alone. I hate to stay alone as boredom will kill me and silence will choke me to death.

It's pure torture anyone could give me.

Thinking of how to pass my time to protect myself from dying i lay flat on my back.

Just then my phone ringed. The one who is on other side.

Bless you...

I looked at the screen which displayed unknown number i received neverthless shrugging my shoulder thinking someone from event organiser.

I stayed quite to get response from receiver side.

"Hello" i heard a manly rough voice which held authority and confidence.

With confidence comes authority.

I need not have to tell who is on the other side. It's none other than my to be.

"Hello" it came out like a whisper. I don't know what posses me when it comes to him. All my confidence will be out of window.

"Today we have photoshoot. Be ready, i will be there in 5 minutes to pick you up." he hung up.

I was about to tell him that my parents are out of station that i couldn't come but he hung up.

Just like that.

Wow...unbelievable.

I could feel my anger raising above its normal reading.

Curse you Mr....

I cooled off before calling my parents about his sudden order cum plan. They agrred and told me to call every one hour and karan would come to pick me up from the shooting place. I agreed and got up from my bed to get ready.

I got ready in simple kurti with pencil pant and pinned my long hair with small clip. Unconsciously i moved close to mirror.

I have big eyes which look like fish eyes and cute button nose with pink plump lips and pimple here and there on my creame skin.

I look good not how they had accused of.

What the shit am i doing?

Why the hell i am giving importance to my beauty?

Beauty lies in heart not in face, anvi.

After a pep talk about inner beauty and confidence i was ready to face Mr Cool.

This time i am not staying quite if they condemn me. Not everyone deserve My Politeness. If i stand for me and defeat for myself that only increase my confidence.

Beauty comes with confidence.

I walked out of thr home closed the door and locked with spare key and placed securely in my purse.

I looked up to witness a mouth watering sight.

There stood sagar leaning on his car bonnet busy checking his mobile.

He wore black three piece suit which hugged his body showing his biceps through the cloth.

He had dark look in this black suit. He looked attractively intimidating.

Is it crime to checkout my to be?

Why do i feel like i am doing a great mistake ogling that too openly oogling at him?

He moved his gaze from mobile to me, i looked elsewhere.

I could feel my cheek burning up.

Oh way to embarrass myself.

I pretend to look at my neighbour aunty who apparently throwing teasing smile at me. I narrowed my eyes at her and pretended angry. She chuckled i pouted. I waved at her as my body voluntarily moving towards him.

I stood just 2 steps away from him waiting for him tell his plan but he was busy doing something in his mobile. I folded my hands at the chest and waited for him sense my presence but he never sensed it. I felt sad. I thought his heart would also beat like how mine is beating. I pouted internally.

Should i greet him?

Like what?

Hi,my to be.I missed you....

Like helll.

Seriously i am going crazy.

I waited for like 5 minutes standing like a fool got no response from him.

This sun is roasting all my energy with its rays.

Offffooooo

Another 10 minutes......

I was beyond annoyed. If he was so busy he could have atleast finish his work and do the Photoshoot. He is wasting my energy along with his.

Another 20 minutes....

I looked over sagar to find him as fresh as flower here i am sweating like a pig.

After all he is Mr Cool.

Another 10 more minutes ......

That's it i can't take anymore. I am going in.

I stomped the foot....

so mature...

Like i care.

I turned to leave.

"Let's go"

Arrogant prick...

I heard him say before i could even step a foot. I had the urge to go home avoiding his order.

Where did manners go anvitha my mind was nagging me.

I have thought better, so i am not going to treat him how he did so far.

If he disrespect me i will teach him how to respect me through my actions.

I turned towards him and found him holding the door open for me. I mumbled a small 'thanks' slide inside not causing any rucks while i know my childish side is throwing her hands and legs whining like a kid to stop from going.

Oh God i have weirdest soul.

Whole drive i was busy cursing him at mind looking out of the window and he was busy squeezing steering wheel.

Poor thing....i pitty you.....

Soon we reached outskirts of mysore to shoot the photo.

As soon as i stepped out i was taken away by 2 ladies. They took to a van and started dressing me.

After what felt like eternity they stopped broom my face with brush which looked mini broom stick.

They applied lipstick which is of bold red and i was all ready.

Thank God....Finally.....

I was again pulled by them out of the van.

As soon as i stepped out i looked at the surrounding. It was beautiful with greenery.

My gaze landed on sagar as he was again as usual busy in mobile while beauticians was busy applying something on his face while other was busy fixing his attire. He stood without care in the world. Here i was fuming.

Why?

God knows....

I avoided him whole time.

Period.

The cameraman took us to the spot. He showed us how to pose. It was simple. I sat on the step and he stood looking at me.

Next one was, we were made to stand infront of each other and look into eachother eyes.

Now i can't escape..Can i?

Big No!!!

I looked at his pitch black orbs which is turning even more dark. His eyes are like black beads with darkness overpowering. I couldn't look aside. I couldn't take my gaze off his eyes.

His orbs looked like it was longing for my orbs to meet. Even he didn't moved his gaze. We were taken back to earth when someone's comment.

'Awww...love is in the air'

Oh My God!!!!

I looked down as shyness took over me. With faint smile on my lips and blush on my cheek, anyone might get it wrong that this marraige is love marraige with endless love between us.

I frown my eyebrows scoffed.

A hand sneaked around my waist and pulled forward which resulted to land on hard chest.

My heart was pounding on ots ribcage.

I looked at him to find him analysing me with his calculative gaze. I shivered at it.

We were lost in eachother again.

I for once felt like leaning on his chest and seek the warmth radiant from him.

"Now next pose" cameraman shouted.

That's when i realised our position. I pressed my palm against his chest to pull away he only tightened his grip around me.

"Leave me" i whisper yelled as i was feeling uncomfortable and cautious. I could ferl everyone gaze on us.

"NEVER" his answer held so many emotions and hidden meaning which i couldn't understand for now i let it go.

"Sir, hold mam from backside"cameraman yelled when he didn't move an inch.

He gently turned my back towards him still not removing his arms around me.

I stood with my beating heart praying all the god in the world to end this photoshoot as soon as possible because it's too much to take in for my fragile heart. I can't let it damaged, can i?

I felt him blew air on my exposed shoulder. I stood rooted. I could feel goosebumps on my whole body.

"SHE IS WRONG"he spoke each word blowing air. I shivered at his torture.

He dipped his head low and sniffed. My eye widen and breath stuck in my throat.

Oh God what is he doing?

It is wrong. completely wrong but why do i feel right?.

Why am i not pushing him?

His next word froze my beating heart.

"EVEN AN UGLY DUCKLING CAN BE TURNED IN TO SWAN WITH MONEY."

I stood for few seconds to digest what he had told?

He again looked down at me. I felt like crying and worst hit him right across his face but i can't hurt him like he did, can i?

"NO, YOU ARE WRONG. I NEITHER DUCK NOR SWAN. I AM ANVITHA....ANVITHA KUMAR I HAVE

MY OWN BEAUTY WHICH YOU UGLY MINDED PEOPLE CANNOT SEE." i didn't turn around. I just removed his arms and forcefully shoved aside and moved past him as i colud see karan pulling up the car in driveway.

I rushed towards it without turning back and hugged karan as soon as he hopped out of the car.
