"What the hell do you have to say?" Anahita croaked, her voice sounded brittle and low as if She would burst into tears any moment. With that, Yuvraaj forgot why he came all the way here and asked quietly, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I am so happy. Satisfied? Now go." She replied almost shutting the door. Yuvraaj played upon the opportunity and slipped his foot inside through the gap. He broke inside making her repel.

"When I ask something, answer me straightlaced. When I speak, look at me. When I say something, comply with it." He intoned taking predatory steps at her after latching the door. Anahita successfully enjoyed the show and sighed. She perched on the bed and laid down facing the other wall.

"Anahita!" Yuvraaj called and she closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. Yuvraaj stared at her. She closed the distance between them and sat on her side. His hands reached up to turn her. Anahita didn't object when he turned her but she kept her eyes shut.
