Chapter 11

Arjun's pov:

               I woke up when I felt someone in my room, I sneaked my hand below the pillow and took my gun,  opening my eyes in a flick second I pointed my gun at the alien in my room.

       "Arjun... Arjun... It's me.. Surya... Man come to your senses don't shoot me. " Surya panicked in front of me raising his hand and I kept my gun aside.

       I took my phone and saw my angel's picture, a goofy smile found it's way to my lips. I didn't have any memories of me smiling happily like this in my life. It's quiet unusual and I am being utterly dysfunctional for my own good.

 
All because of my wife...

       "Hey.. Man come out of your phone and look at me... For your kind information, I am your Friend, Surya.. Can you remember me. " he asked in a way more dramatically.

  
      "Shut up Surya! " my reply was simply annoyed.

      
      "Well good afternoon to you too Arjun!" he told me folding his hands for which I glared, I put the gun into the cabinet and went inside the washroom to do my business. I saw my reflection in the mirror, my eyes were still red due to lack of sleep but I don't mind, after all my wife worths my sleepless nights. I can spend my life looking at her, looking at my angelic beauty, who never failed to make me feel a human.

        After the day she accepted my friendship I used to visit her all night till today my girl sleeps like no tomorrow spoiling my sleep but her sleeping face was enough to maintain my mental health. I know I was being creepy but I just enjoy looking at her sleep that sight was like a desert to my soul.

       I came out and saw Surya sitting on my bed,  " Do you care to explain Boss? " asked Surya.

     "Explain what? " my reply was simple.

       "Explain where were you spending your nights for the past month? " asked him getting curious.

             "But why should I tell you?" again my reply was straight to point.

            "Now, just stop this bloody shit Arjun, it's been a month you were mia for all nights. You have been coming in the morning, after taking a nap you stress yourself for our work. Where were spending your nights and damn it, you were all alone. Don't you know the threat you have on your life? You can't rove alone like this? " and he lost his patience.

             "I am Arjun Khaleja, I know how to protect myself. I cannot go around relying on people to protect me Surya, Because I am a man enough to do that. " I know Surya cares for me but I can't help yelling at him for his unreasonable fears at times.

              He started bickering then I got a message form my wife, I was so much into replying her sweet text that I forgot Surya around me.

        
          " Are you listening? " yelled Surya.

            I sighed and told him " I have been spending my nights with my wife. " with that I got down after witnessing his horror stricken face.

      I went straight down to my kitchen since I was famished enough to bounce on raw meat if required.

            My chef served me, grilled chicken with white sauce and mashed potatoes along with some steamed vegetables. I must say I have a best cook and what I am having was the mouthwatering meal but I feel empty having this.

              The flavors and meat threw in together but I feel it tastes blunt. My mind drifted to one thought "How it will taste if someone we love cook for us? " I questioned myself.

            How it will feel to have food cooked with love, I don't mind having raw vegetables and fruits salads with hot water if my wife is ready to prepare it for me.

           I need her desperately for everything these days, I started to imagine her all around me. How will a life with her be? I wanted to live that life with my wife...with my Siya.

        I lost my appetite thinking about her, after all... she has got a power to stop my world. I called my maid and asked him to change all the utensils and electronics in my kitchen.

          Everything in my kitchen was the best but I insist changing it the way my wife likes. I am not gonna fire my maids and cooks they will remain in their work and help my wife. I didn't wanna use her as my maid, she is the queen of my empire. At the same time I don't think it's wrong requesting her to cook for me, I have never tasted a homemade food in my life.

         I stood up from my chair and met face to face with Surya he tried speaking but I ignored him when my men told me about the visit of an interior designer I called for.

          I met him in my living room, I was still in my tee and track I believe in being comfortable.

     "Hello sir, please to meet you. " told a young man who was around his early twenties, his hair was gelled back and painted red.

   Weirdly Strange!

    But who knows he might have started his designing skills from him. " Sir, I am Rahul Varma and this is Ms. Sreeja Kumar, my assistant. " he pointed at a young lady and I nodded at them.

       "Take your seats, listen I don't like dragging things so let me come to the point, I want you to change my whole mansion's interior. I knows everything here is based on one of the best theme 'Aristocratic Black ' but I need you to change this theme and give this mansion a royal touch. Most importantly, I want you to use White in the main theme and my bedroom should be designed with white and peach. You can start your work tomorrow. " I instructed them and walked to my garden.

            My Siya hates black.. I remember her telling me that and she told me white gives her peace. She always wanted her room to be painted peach but her dad ditched her painting it red as per her astrology.

        That was funny, I always wonder how could a dad love his daughter so much... My father in law was the best, but can I give my wife the comfort she deserves.. Can I care her more than her dad?

      I was brought back from my thoughts when Surya stood in front of me with a death glare. But before I could talk to him, I found my gardener coming towards me, so I ignored Surya once again.

         "Listen uncle take all these shrubs and croutons, I want my garden filled with beautiful flowers specially jasmine and Rose. Plant guava trees and
Pome trees, make sure to plant a tulsi in the middle of the garden and build a cement slab around it, get whatever help you want from the other maids and the required materials will be supplied soon. Got it?" I elaborated to my gardener.

         Siya loves Jasmine... She lits diya in front of a tulsi plant everyday. I just wanted to get everything ready... Ready to welcome my angle, soon she will be here with me as my legal wife.

         I want her to be happy, I want everything as per her wish, she rules my heart so obviously she will rule my house, I am pretty impatiently waiting for that. She also likes pomes and guvas so I wanted those trees should also be planted as well.

                Surya called me but once again I ignored him since my manager came and greeted me "Sir you called me? "

              "Yeah.. Take all my cars, I want all of them changed white, I want them in another 1 hour, Got it? " I told him with authority.

           "Ye... Yes sir..! " he nodded and took his leave.

           I was jerked around, suddenly " I will kill you idiot, tell me what's happening here? Why the hell are you changing everything? Are you insane? You love black, everyone around you know your passion for that, why do you want to change everything now. Not only that you are changing the kitchen, garden, cars etc.. What is with you tell me now..." Surya spitted his anger.

  
        "I am trying  to change this mansion a home Surya, so that I can make things comfortable for my wife. " I told him folding my hands.

            "So you were serious, you got married? " he was terrified.

        "It is not necessary to tie the knot man, she is here.. " I told pointing my heart " so what's wrong in calling her my wife? Anyways soon she will be legally my better half. " even that thought gave me immense happiness.

        "Are you talking about Siya?" He asked with narrowed eyes.

      "I don't have anyone else to think about. " I told him the truth.

      He sighed and told me " This is wrong Arjun, she doesn't belong with you. You can't drag her into you life. She is very innocent and can't handle your life style, sh-" I didn't let him complete but dragged him holding his throat and pinned him to the nearby tree.

          "This is the reason Surya.. This is the reason, I started carving someone in my life, who could think about me, care for me, love me.., unlike advising me to leave someone, I love beyond limits. I think about everything and everyone around me but in the end of a day I don't have anyone to think about me.

            You proved it Surya, you proved that your just my friend not my family. You wanted me to leave her, even though you know the dark side of my life, even though you know how much I suffered,  even though you know how much alone I feel in this deserted life. " my grip on Surya's throat loosened when my past started suffocating me.

                "I found a reason to live after 27 years of this shitty life... I haven't experienced any sort of love either from parents or siblings or from someone else, I didn't had many friends, I didn't know how it feels to celebrate a festival with loved ones.. Hell I haven't celebrated even my birthdays these many years,  I never felt anything apart from the taste of betrayal in my life. I lived my life only to take revenge... It was my only goal.

                    But these days, I started to live for her. I didn't know how it happened but she consumed my whole mind sinfully. These days I started to feel alive, I started listening music, I started wearing casuals, I can feel my appetite.

           These days I am not eating to survive but seeking energy so that I can spend it on her. You know I realized even I can smile and laugh. (Smiles thinking at his own self)

            Yes, I changed everything in my mansion according to her likes, even I have changed myself. All nights... Trust me Surya , all the night I was awake looking at her, looking at her angelic sleep.

            But not even once I wanted to bed her, it was never lust Surya.. Never... But the thirst I have for her can't be sketched. My heart aches to hold her in my arms, my soul weeps to sleep with her, my mind itches to protect her from everything.

      She is a Magic.. My Siya is a magic. There is no use of living my life without her. I have decided, I'll marry her, we'll have kids and finally I will live like a normal man... The real Normal man.

              It was not just a stupid want or crush which will vanish once I get her Surya... I love her! do you get me...? I . LOVE . SIYA! I will keep her happy till my last breath. I will take care of her innocence, I will never hurt her man , I am ready to sacrifice anything but her. (He wipes a lone tear fell from his eyes)

           And listen, I'll never hesitate to kill anybody comes between us, so stay away I don't wanna hurt you. " I panted hard to control me after pouring out my feelings.

            Surya was awestruck and I found a glint of hurt in his face, he came to me and I gave him a 'what now? ' look, he suddenly hugged me tight and took me off guard.

          "I.. I am.. Sorry Arjun! I didn't.. Want you to suffer... I didn't mean that way. " I hugged him back and patted to sooth him. I shouldn't have blamed his friendship but sometimes I don't have control over my temper.

      "I'll help you on this.. We wi-" I cut him off and told.

    "Siya is not my office project to seek your help Surya, she is my love. I have to earn her trust and affection. But I am not gonna work on it, I am going to be me around her... If she loves me, she will definitely recognize my love for her. I don't want anyone between us. " I told him what I felt.

             "I am proud of you Arjun! I didn't know my cruel, remorseless boss can also fall in love." he mocked me.

Even I didn't know that!

            "All because of that silly girl. " I told him remembering my angel.

         "Arjun don't you think she deserves to know the truth, a basement of love should be concerted with trust not lies.. Tell her you are one of the most powerful Mafia. " he has got a point to freak me out, but he was right.

       
       I sighed and told him " I will, I will tell her everything the moment she confess her love for me. " I told him, yes..., I cannot risk losing her now. What if she rejects me?

      Suddenly my phone rang and it was from our weapon dealer. After speaking with him I disconnected the call and turned to Surya " I should go to Spain for the international weapon auction, may be I'll take next ten days to finish the left over dealings there. Till then take care. " he nodded in agreement.

        "Then, I wanna tell you something. " I told with a glint of happiness.

       "About? " he expected something professional.

     " Sanjana! " his eyes were out of sockets.
