   Ajay's pov :

               It's been a month, a f***ing 30 days, I didn't see her. I can't see her and I am practically going insane. She resigned her job and left me filled with her thoughts.

         It never happened in my life never ever, it was the first time a girl consumed my mind like rapidly spreading forest fire.

         The girl beneath me was screaming in pain and writhing but I didn't mind, after all I pay this f***king s**ut. I left her after I am done and she ran out of my room picking her torn cloths from the floor.

              I brought random girls, as many girls as I can to forget that bi**h Siya. But I couldn't forget that damn bloody St*****t.

         Why Siya? Why?

          I can get any girl to my bed just with my looks, they surrender themselves to me then why not you?

  How can you resist me?     Aaarrrggg.....

      You have to accept me ,you have to cede or you should die. I will get you by hook or crook if I can't get you, I'll kill you right there. But I can't get over your thoughts... Your lips, eyes and that heavenly curves of yours is driving me crazy..!

          I got a call from my mother, I am gonna kill this s**t one day or the other, she will not let me live in peace.

            I answered her call, " Fine mom, how are you?.... Yeah ......... But mom, I have an important work tomorrow,.... OK......... I am coming but I'll stay only 5 minutes mom not more than that...  OK mom....  don't forget to take your medicine, love you mom good night ! " I hung up the call and threw my cell phone letting it hit the wall.

                 I slumped on my bed and drifted to sleep undressing Siya in my dreams....

    She was divine!

       The next day I woke and and did my daily routine, I took my bath and came out wrapping a towel around my lower extremity.

         I went into my walk in closet and took out my suit, I didn't close the door without glancing the memorable knief in there.

            The same knief, that misborn Arjun lodged onto my portrait the other day. This knief will be your end of life Arjun....  This same knief will be your death.

              I dressed and went to my parents mansion, my mother forced me to have breakfast with them, hell...! they don't serve champagne.. I have to act all good and genuine in front of them.

     Shit! Shit! Shit!

              "So Ajay, how long you are gonna spend your life alone...?  Tell me." Asked my dad. Now what these old scums want?

            "I don't get you both... Dad, mom...  Please, straight to the point. " I told and started to munch my toast.

            " We are planning to arrange your marriage Son. So tell me do you have anyone in your mind or my handsome son is still Single. " questioned my shit mother.

              "Why don't you both understand? I am not interested in marriage mom. " I told them curtly.

                  " Son, I am planning to convert all the property to your name, we are getting old..  And we need to retire.. But only if you marry someone.. We can handover this big responsibility to you. " my blood boiled and I suppressed the urge to throw this dining table at this old man.

          " Dad, do you think I want all these properties... they are nothing for me in front of you both. " well I am a good actor.

              "We know my baby but you should have someone for you , to love you... To live with you... We will leave you soon in this world alone, who knows we are getting old anything may happen Aiay. " I am waiting for that you bloody women, why don't you both just die?

       "Mom... But I c- " she didn't let me complete.

           " We found a match for you Ajay. Guess who? " asked my mom.

         " Who? " I asked clenching my teeth.. Patience.... I don't want to plot my parents death, I should have little more patience.

            "It's your Ramakrishna uncle's daughter... Siya. I guess you know her. " told my dad.

          The fork I was holding dropped down, and my pupil dialated with desire.

Match... Siya...Marriage... Wife...

           A smile found it's way to my lips and for the first time I believed in the existence of God, I want her for a day... He is giving her to me for whole life... Many nights.

         Wife.. So, I have right to f**k her all life... That's great!
After all that chick is worth being my wife.

Siya's pov :

             "Chittu.. " called my dad but I ignored him because I'm busy watching my favourite reality dance show Nach Bhaliye!

               "Chittu.. " I became deaf ear again.

           "Chittu... Chittu.. Chittu.. Chittu......" My dad kept singing my name again and again making me respond.

           "What daddy? " I asked him annoyed.

         "I want green chilies to prepare your favourite curry." told him.

         "So...? " I asked still focussing television.

        "I forgot to buy them dear.. Please go and get from the nearby supermarket... It's just in a walkable distance na? " he pleaded me from kitchen.

          "No ways.. You know very well, I'll not take my eyes off television now, then why are you wasting your time? " I told him the matter of fact.

              He came from the kitchen and sat next to me "Hump..! I will go and get them myself..., Who cares if I have joint pain or backache..., You watch your show... Hump...! come and lock the door. " he plastered a dejected expression and stood up.

Ohoo! My drama queen daddy!

        "Ok.., fine I'll watch re-telecast, now don't make faces like that... " I kissed his cheek and took my Scooty keys.

        " Chittu... You are going to next street so better take a walk, don't go by scooty.. This generation youth are one such lazy bums." My dad mocked.

             "Ahan! Grandma told me once you fought with grandpa wanting an elevator to reach your room in first floor... She told me, you were just nineteen by then, so stop mocking my generation. We are better! " I told him and heard him cursing my late grandma.

        My dad is my dad.. Every dad in this world is especially special to their daughters and my dad is special to me in my own way, I love him.

          I started walking and for every 15 seconds I checked my phone for notification........... from............from...........Arjun.

            Yes, it's been a month and we were comfortable with each other's company. I didn't meet him even once in this month because I rarely left my house.

            I reasoned my dad that I feel physically tired and quit my job. I don't want to tell him about Ajay and creat a distance between my dad and Shakthi uncle. I cannot damage their flawless friendship alteast I can do this for my dad.

         I am resting in my home and enjoying life. Arjun and I used to text and he called me a few times. I judged and came to know few things about Arjun.

              He is THE honest and straightforward man I came across in my life. He was right, he speaks his mind and never fails to admire me, he never flirts, never send me cheesy messages, never text creepy yet makes me catch houseflies no no.. What they will exclaim yeah.. Butterfly..... butterflies in my stomach.

              These butterflies are newly born and very tiny I didn't know, when they will reach maturity and make my heart flutter completely.

         My beautiful thoughts about that man came to an halt once I reached the store. I went in and greeted Geetha... She is a sales girl there and my friend too.

          "Hey Geetha, give me some green chilies please! " I asked her.

             "Seriously akka (sister), who comes to this big Supermarket just for green chilies. " she laughed at me.

      Silly girl!

       "Oh madem..! this is the only store here, I don't think, I can get chilies in the opposite Yamaha showroom. " I mocked at her. She laughed and hit my show room.

        She looked unexpectedly happy.

         "What's up Geetha? You look so happy. " I asked her.

       "I am really happy akka, our boss gave us salary increment.. You know he is helping me with my school fee already and with this increment now I can handle my mom's medical necessities. All the employee here are greatful to him in one or the other way, he help us with studies, food medicine etc etc and give us part time jobs to take us out from guilt. He is like a god to us. " told Geetha with tears in her eyes and I gave her a hug.

         I mentally sketched that man in white Shirt and dhothi (an Indian attair) with grey hairs in head and senthoor (vermilion) in his forehead.

       What a man, even in imagination he reached heights in my heart, people like this uncle do exists.

         "Akka, he is our boss! " told Geetha and my eyes turned in a flash.

       There entered a six foot dashing frame with muscles worth worshiping, so he is not an uncle but a handsome young man whom I know he is.............. my Arjun.

  Wait where did that 'my' came from,  he is just Arjun. Geetha's words replayed in my ears and my eyes welled up with an overwhelming emotion awakening the new born butterflies in my stomach.

     This man is a gem and I am happy to know that gem personally.

   He sat on the table checking a file while dangling his legs in air, he managed to tuck the pen behind his ear and went on checking a file with a serious expression.

     He looked hot !

    I took my mobile and texted him " Please take that pen from your ear, you look like a bus conductor. " I giggle pressing send button and kept looking at Arjun.

        His took out his mobile on the message tone and smiled just looking at my name , he opened the message and laughed reeling his head, looking for me.

  Brilliant! 

   His eyes spotted me and I waved my hands at him, taking two long strides he reached me and gave a million dollar smile.

     He looks more handsome when he smiles but as far as I know he smiles rarely.

               "You are here? " he questioned me surprised.

         "Why? Shouldn't I come here? " I asked again after paying the money. Not much just 10 rupees. Wait.., what? I can't buy chilies for 1000 rupees just because it's a big supermarket.

         "You can? " he told and stuffed his hands inside his pocket. I didn't know why his presence makes me nervous in a weird way and somehow I love it.

           "Okay!  Go ahead with your work Arjun I am going home, I am getting late. " I told him, left the place but found him following me.

           "Siya? You came by walk? " asked him.

        "Why? What's wrong? " I questioned him.

    "How can you come alone to shop like this what i- " I cut him off.

       "Arjun, come on.. It's not so late and this area is very safe. So stop panicking. By the way I am not a kid Arjun.. I can handle myself. " I told him and resumed walking along with him accompanying me.

           "Oh really! " he exclaimed and within a fraction of second pinned me to the nearby post, hovering in front startling me.

             My heart started it's marathon and I am confused with his action his grip was not painful and his breath fanned my face. His eyes were boring onto mine finding depths, he closed his two brown universe for a moment and averted his gaze.

           " What if someone came and misbehave you like this? What will you do? "He smirked and released challenging me.

          
         I sighed and told him "Simple, I will stuff chillies in his mouth. Wanna try ?" He raised his hands in horror and we both laughed. Oh man, I am still trying to control my breaths.

           I like this... I like the way we are to each other.... This small walk with him became a great memory for me.

    
        "So Arjun? Tell me about your family. " I wanted to know.

         He stopped mid track and I turned to him and asked " Are you OK? I mean, I am sorry if I asked something wrong. "

        He released a long breath, he was very much like struggling an inner turmoil, I shouldn't have asked but it's a general question.

         "I don't have anyone for me Siya.. I am all alone left in this cruel world. " he gave me a faint smile.

       "I am sorry.." I really felt Sorry for him thank God at least I have my dad.

         There was an awkward silence and I decided to break it.

     "So Arjun do you have any girlfriend? " I got tensed and expecting a no.

        "Your house came." told him.

        "That's not the answer for my question. " I told him with slight anger. Why can't he just tell a no?

       He gave a naughty smile and came close to me stealing my breath " I never wanted any girl in my life Siya... My heart was damaged enough to think about all that. Till now I lived like a stone void of emotions, but these days my heart is carving for love.. For affection.. I am done living alone."

      He took a step forward and continued " Specifically for the past few days my want and thirst for love increased after meeting a special person in my life..  She never fails to awake the hibernating feelings in my heart. " told him and my heart skipped a beat.

          I turned on my heels and walked towards my house, he yelled from behind " I don't want any girlfriend Siya, I just want a wife to love and live with me." For an unknown reason my face heated up.

   Subsiding the overwhelming emotion I managed to turn and waved my hands at him gaining a nod from him. " You will find her soon, all the best. " I turned and ran inside.

        I just couldn't explain the relief and contentment my heart got after knowing his relationship status....He's single!

                 At the same time my stupid blood pumping machine started to cry for him. He is all alone, there was no one for him. I felt unreasonably sad.

           I went to kitchen and hugged my dad from behind while giving him the chilies I bought, " What happened chittu? " asked my dad.

          "Appa how did you felt after momma left you alone and died? " he became stiff.

         "Why are you asking me now? " he frowned.

       "Tell me daddy. " I pleaded.

        "I wanted to die Siya.. Seriously I wanted to die. I loved and love your mom so much, call me a coward but after her death, I wanted to die but it was you.. Your cries took me out from depression...  Your cries told me that my Anu (Siya's mom) left a princess for me to love and cherish. " I hugged my dad tight.

       He continued " I am lucky I got you my baby daughter, but the biggest punishment and suffering in this world is being left alone.... Left alone to fight without anyone in this cruel planet. " my tears drenched dad's shirt and my heart ached for my dad, also for a man, that man who is ruling my mind nowadays ARJUN.

         We consoled each other somehow and I was having my dinner with dad just when I got a message " Can't text or call you for next ten days. Take care. " it was from Arjun.

     I replyed 'why?' Several times but didn't get any reply.

    What happend to him? Is he OK? For the first time in my life I am personally worried for a man apart from my dad.
