Chapter - 8

With her mind being in total mess , she reached infront of the door on which it was boldly and clearly written " DIRECTOR JAYVARDHAN SINGH ".Nervously she knocked on the door .

" Come In "

A voice came from inside the room . It was a very unfamiliar tone . Myra has interacted with the director few times but his voice was not this deep . Worried she entered in .

" Sir , did you ca— "

Her words got stuck in her throat seeing an unexpected man . The room was empty, no one else was there except him , Abhiraj Singh Rathore. Her eyes widened in surprise seeing him slightly smile at her .

" How are you doing? How is your injury? " He asked concern dripping from his voice.

" I am fine . My wound has healed just the scar has been left behind" Myra replied nervously yet cautiously, trying her best not to stutter. Directly or indirectly she has been avoiding calling his name . She got flashbacks of her first life - the unbearable punishments she will get for using his name without his permission has left deep impact on her .

She can't understand why this man keeps coming to her when she is trying her best to avoid him or get away from him .

" SCAR ! Where is it ? Let me see !! " Myra almost gasped when he suddenly rushed forward and grabbed her arm . An weird type of electric shock ran through her veins at the contact.

Abhiraj worriedly analysed seeing her golden smooth skin tarnished by scar . To him , such a beauty like Myra didn't deserve scars . Rather it suited a rugged man like him .

Abhiraj took out his phone and quickly dialled one of his man's number asking him to fetch the best quality scar removal cream.Before sliding his phone back in his pocket. All the while , still holding Myra's arm.

Myra was little uncomfortable by Abhiraj's closeness and concern . She hadn't seen such side of Abhiraj in her past lives . To her this side was new as well as scary .

" Don't worry your scars will soon be healed" Myra politely nodded. The room filling with an awkward silence.

Abhiraj didn't want her to stop talking. He wanted to hear her melodious voice. He wondered for the topics on which they can talk about without remaining in awkward silence. He couldn't help but to ask about the scene that kept bothering him.

" What's your relation with Laksh , my brother ?" Myra almost chocked on her saliva. She didn't expect Abhiraj to see her and Laksh's interaction. She wondered how he saw it . But no matter what she needs to clear his suspicion or else he might do something bad .

" Nothing... nothing ! We have no relationship at all . He is dating my bestfriend Juhi Miranda and I am just teasing them hahaha ." She nervously laughed and thinking of ways how to escape Abhiraj's claws for the time being.

Abhiraj nodded without prying anymore. He believed her . He wanted to continue their chatting when..

" Ah! I forget I have dance performance. I have to go and get ready. " Myra made up an excuse which was half true and half false .

Abhiraj was saddened but didn't show on his face . He wanted to spend some more time with her but he also didn't want to hold her back .

" All the best for your performance" Abhiraj encouraged catching Myra off guard. She was dazed for a while before finally responding.

" Oh, thank you ....I will take my leave " Myra replied trying to free her hand from his grip but he wasn't letting go .

" My arm... "

" Oh sorry" he finally let go off arm. Bidding him bye , Myra flee off the room .

" Cute " Abhiraj mumbled. Her warmth still remaining in his hand . He again felt the same electric shock when he touched her. There was something in her that kept drawing him but he couldn't pinpoint what.

His phone buzzed , diverting his attention from Myra's thoughts . He fished out his phone from his pocket. There were two notification on it - one from Krishav , his friend and another from Akhil , his personal assistant.

He tapped on Akhil's message first.

AKHIL :

[ Boss , I have gathered miss Myra's childhood information. When can we discuss about it.]

ABHIRAJ :

[ Tomorrow, at 5th floor , 52Dexter Room of Morsuri Restaurant at 7:00 pm .]

AKHIL :

[ Yes , Boss ! ]

Abhiraj then switched to Krishav's message.

KRISHAV :

[ Bro guess what ? I found out the real identity of your doll .]

Abhiraj reading the message was shocked. Krishav found out the real identity of his doll ? Can he finally meet her now ? Hug her ? Make her his ? Abhiraj was elated. He wa excited, happy and what not. He couldn't wait to find his doll and make her , his forever.

ABHIRAJ:

[ TELL ME WHO IS SHE ? ]

KRISHAV:

[ Bro why are you typing in caps ? Anyways I won't tell you unless you give a party . ]

Abhiraj couldn't help to curse at his friend in his mind. Initially he had thought Krishav contacted him because he wanted a party . Hence he messaged the meeting point to Akhil , the restaurant infront of Myra's house so that while enjoying a party he could look through Myra's information and find out whether she is , his doll or not. But he never expected Krishav to find out his doll's identity.

ABHIRAJ:

[ Fine , let's meet at Morsuri Restaurant, 5th floor 52Dexter Room at 7:00 pm ]

KRISHAV:

[ Thanks bro . See you soon . ]

" What an Asshole! " Abhiraj cursed him .

.

( On the other side )

Krishav couldn't help sneezing, while trying to scare his fiancee leading to her turning around and noticing him . Hence he failed to scare of his fiancee.

" That bastard must have cursed me ". Krishav muttered under his breath.

.

Abhiraj found himself getting bored. The university celebration was underway. As a VVIP guest , he along with the other Rathore members, sat in VIP gallary, watching performance. A glass of wine was in everyone's hands and meals and refreshments on the table infront of them .

Just when he was about to get up and leave , he heard Myra's name being announced.

Anchor : " Performing the next act ' Love Triangle Chaos ' I would like to invite Miss Myra Kashayap, Master Raj Jindal and Master Laksh Singh Rathore".

Abhiraj quickly sat back at his seat, closely paying attention to the entrance of the stage .

At first Laksh entered, followed by Myra , then Raj . All took their positions on the stage as the anchor hide behind the huge velvety red curtains . Soon the music started playing. It was a romantic song. The dance started by Laksh touching Myra's cheeks . And it was enough to lit fire in Abhiraj.

[ How dare he touch her ? ]

[ Cut off his hands .]

[ Kill him. ]

[ He is not allowed to touch her .]

As the dance progressed the intimacy between Laksh , Myra and Raj grew . It was a romantic dance and it was bound to happen but it lit such huge flame of anger and jealousy in Abhiraj that the glass of wine shattered into pieces due to the pressure. Everyone were startled. The university's head officials who were standing behind Rathore family obediently and respectfully were terrified. Seeing the darkening face of Abhiraj, Rathore family members were scared for their lives .

Thankfully the dance came to an end or else Abhiraj would have set the university ablaze and would have enacted a bloody war at the spot . Everyone took a note of not disrespecting Myra, seeing how much she meant to Abhiraj .

Abhiraj's mom was most shocked. She never expected her son to be so infatuated with Myra .

Slowly, the celebration came to an end and it was already 9:00 pm . And it was time for everyone to depart .

Even though all the events had came to an end . Abhiraj's anger hadn't died down . And it was visible by the way he stormed off the gallary to confront Laksh . Everyone else followed him worriedly.

.

.

" Juhi , are you okay? Can you walk ?" Surrounding Juhi , were Laksh , Raj , Arohi , Akash and Myra , they were worried for her seeing the injured condition.

" I... can't....it hurts" Juhi was trying to fight off the tears in her ears .

" Laksh , you should take Juhi home " Myra advised.

" Yeah , Myra is right " Arohi said .

" Okay then we will both take our leave " Laksh grabbed his and Juhi's bags before carrying Juhi in his arms and walking away.

" I also have to go , I have to drop my girlfriend home " Akash nodded as Raj took his leave .

" Myra , how will you go home ? Should we drop you at your place? " Akash asked .

" No no it's fine , I will take a cab . Don't worry about me . You two lovebirds both go ahead and enjoy your night" Myra replied in a teasing tone . Arohi and Akash both blushed .

" Bye , go home safely." Blushing Arohi replied grabbing Akash's bags as they both got ready to leave.

Myra was grabbing her stuff when she felt someone's shadow falling on her . Looking behind, she was startled seeing Abhiraj standing behind her .

" Sorry , didn't meant to scare you . I just wanted to talk with Laksh regarding something" Abhiraj apologised.

"It's okay. And you might not meet Laksh . He just took his injured girlfriend home . I shall also take my leave." Myra replied, preparing herself to take her leave.

" Wait! How will you go home ? " Abhiraj asked suddenly.

" Umm I will take a cab I guess. " Myra truthfully replied.

" I can drop you off , if you don't mind ofcourse" Abhiraj offered.

" Wouldn't it be bothersome for you ? " Myra nervously stated. She didn't really want to travel with Abhiraj. She was not really comfortable.

" Nonsense. It's not bothersome at all . Let me take you home ." Myra didn't get the chance to reject his offer as he grabbed her hand and gently dragged her along with him .

The Rathore family members and the staff saw these scene and thought it will be better not to disturb them .

As Abhiraj and Myra walked by everyone paid them extra attention. Myra blushed in embarassment. She tried to free her hands from Abhiraj's but his grip only tightened.

" Please, let go off my hand . Everyone is watching us " Myra timidly said .

Abhiraj glared at them , leading for them to look away after being scared.

" What's wrong ? I don't see the problem. I am holding my girlfriend's hand. " Abhiraj's answer made Myra speechless and confused.

She never expected Abhiraj to accept her as his girlfriend. He didn't do it in the first life nor in second life , so why in third life ?

She didn't know how she reached the parking lot or got in the car , she was so dazed . She finally broke out of her daze when the car was on the highway. She was in passenger seat and Abhiraj was in driving seat .

" Can you tell me what happened with Laksh's girlfriend? " Abhiraj suddenly asked .

" Oh Juhi ! During the dance rehearsals , Juhi injured her right foot . She was unable to perform the dance act ' Love Triangle Chaos '. Hence I had to replace her . If we had cancel the act , the university would have taken action against us ." Myra replied looking forward to the road.

" What actions ? " Abhiraj's grip on the wheel tightened.

" Deducting marks , physical punishments, etc. Or may be more brutal since VVIP guests like you were present. By the way ,did you like my dancing? " Myra turned her head to look at Abhiraj who was driving the car .

" Yes , it was amazing. I couldn't able to tear my attention away from you . You looked so beautiful. Your moves your beautiful and smooth " Myra smiled thanking Abhiraj for the compliment.

Abhiraj blushed. Fireworks being set off in his mind.

" I am glad . This is my third time enacting a dance performance. " Myra replied reminiscing about her past memories.

" Who was your first dance partner ? " Abhiraj asked.

" I don't remember my childhood clearly but a boy from the village I used to live in ." Myra replied remembering the blurry details of her childhood.

Abhiraj's heart begun thundering against his ribcage. During his childhood , he also had danced with his doll multiple times on many romantic songs . Does that mean...

" Who was that boy ? And in which village you used to live ? "

" I don't clearly remember those details. " Myra replied. Abhiraj was slightly disheartened but he didn't gave up on the hope. He had a hunch that Myra might be his doll .

" And who was your second partner?" Abhiraj asked.

Myra turned around head towards Abhiraj, with a gentle smile she replied, " You ".
