Aarav picked up the liquor bottle and gulped it down in one go. Tanya approached him and placed her hand on his shoulder "Aarav what that lady was saying?" she questioned him.

He placed his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. She dashed on his chest and rubbed her finger across his lips "why do you seem so angry?" she asked

"Shh.. I don't want to speak about that woman! I need you" he grabbed her hair tightly and attached his lips with hers. He started to kiss her widely, she was astonished at his desperation. She responded back and he bit her lower lip to which she felt the pain as it was harsh. She could feel the blood oozing out of it and he entered inside her mouth and started exploring it with his tongue. He pushed her down to the bed, not breaking the kiss. She was feeling herself out of breath and wanted to free herself but he wasn't letting her. She hit his chest a bit pleading with him but he wasn't paying vigilance. He finally left her lips and she breathed heavily "Aarav that was.."

"You want the deal right? So just enjoy, don't speak I hate it" he spoke and took off the brasserie from her body. He explored her curves and left the passionate marks of his teeth there. She moans in pleasure and moves her hand into his hair. His mind was thinking about Manvi's words and it disturbed him alot.

He doesn't tease her much and enters into her without giving any warning or alerting her. She screams in pleasure as he hits the deepest point inside her. He was hard and rough and his hands were exploring her body simultaneously. He adjusted beside her when he found himself draining and took heavy breaths.

She turned and placed her hand on his chest. He gave her a questionable look "what?"

She peeked his lips "that was bold! Shall we sign the deal?" she asked, speaking about the business.

"Deal is off!" he declared leaving her in a state of shock. He pushes her off and gets up from the bed. He went towards the bar and poured whiskey into the glass. He sipped some and sat down on the couch placing his legs on the table and passed his intense stare to her.

She wore her dress and asked "Aarav you are kidding right?"

"No baby! I am serious" He said

She got up and moved to him. She snatched the whiskey glass from his hand and threw it away "Aarav how can you do this?"

He gets annoyed at her actions. "I can do anything Tanya tum mere saath deal sign karke mujhe hi double cross karne waali thi am I right?" he shouted at her leaving her in a state of shock.

"What?" she pretended to be unaware of his accusation.

Aarav gets up and opens the drawer. He takes out the file and throws it on the table. She glanced down at the file and then eyed at him for a few seconds. He signaled her and she picked it up. She opens and reads it.

"Tumne same offer mere competitor ke aage rakha.. Yeh bhi kaha ki tum mujhse deal karogi aur meri company ke secrets unhe laake dogi taaki mujhe kaise harana hai unke liye aasan ho jaaye!!" Aarav reveals.

Tanya just couldn't believe her eyes, how the hell he got to know about all this. Aarav pulled her and caressed her lips with his hand. "Tumhe laga Aarav toh jism ka bhooka hai.. Aasani se deal sign kar dega iss ek raat ke baad haina?" he asked and she gulped down her throat.

"Miss Tanya Mathur mere baare mein sab janti ho na? Itna bhi nahi pata tumhe jinse bhi mujhse uljhane ki koshish ki hai wo barbaad hua hai! So it was nice fucking you isse zyada tum kuch deserve karti nahi ho" Aarav smirked and pushed her hard.

He picked up his phone and emailed something. Tanya receives something on her phone, she checks it and gets stunned as the BOD of her company fired her. Tears slipped down her eyes and she glared at him "Aarav how can you be so cruel?"

"That's the way I am! Out of my house now" he shouted on top of his lungs.

Tanya picks up her things and storms out of the house. Aarav takes a deep breath "you are wrong Manvi! Main aisa hun.. I am ruthless koi achai nahi hai mujhmei"

Khushi had been inside her room, she tried to call Manvi but she didn't answer her phone call. After a few minutes she receives a text from her "shayad tumne apne pita ko meri insult karte hue suna tha Khushi lekin unse ladai mat karna please.. Sirf apna dhyan exams ki tayari pe lagao all the best for exams aur kuch bhi zaroorat ho mujhe email kar dena main ab nahi aa paungi tumhe padhane"

Khushi gets annoyed reading it, she steps towards Aarav's room to confront him but stops when her phone rings. She answers it "dost aap"

"Mr. Malhotra se tum abhi koi baat nahi karogi yeh unke aur mere beech ki baat hai tum sirf apni padhai karogi samjhi! Sirf kuch din hai exams shuru hone mein" Manvi spoke

"Aise kaise wo aapki insult kar sakte hai.. He needs a reality check" she was in extreme anger.

Manvi scolded her "Khushi tum kuch nahi kahogi unhe abhi! Aur kuch galat nahi kaha hai unhone main sirf tumhari teacher hun mujhe haq nahi hai unki personal life pe comment karne ka samjhi.. Agar mujhe apna dost manti ho toh abhi sirf padhai pe focus karogi samjhi"

Khushi made a face "aap iss tarah mujhse baat mat karo mujhe pasand nahi hai" she argued.

"Tum bhi toh meri baat nahi sun rahi ho kabse kah rahi hun main mujhe bhi pasand nahi hai tumhe iss tarah daant lagana'' Manvi replied in a soft tone.

Khushi takes a deep breath "thik hai sirf exam tak main Mr. Malhotra se jhagda nahi karungi lekin uske baad unhe mere gussa samna karna hoga he can't hurt you like that! Mumma ko door kar diya unhone mujhse aapko khudse door nahi jaane dungi unki wajah se'' she said and ended the call.

She heads back to her room, she sits down on the bed and opens the drawer. She takes out the photo frame and a smile curves up her lips. She caressed the face with her finger and tears slipped down her eyes as the picture was half burnt but this was the only memory she had with her.

She hugged the picture "Mumma meri dost na aapki tarah hai wo mere paas hoti hai na toh mujhe aapki kami mehsus nahi hoti hai" she said and soon drifted into sleep.

A Month Later

Khushi had been busy with her exams and studies. She had promised Manvi that she won't get involved in any arguments with Aarav and just focus on studies. Aarav also didn't disturbed her as he really wants her to excel in her board exams. Manvi guided Khushi through video calls as she doesn't want to meet that arrogant, disrespectful Aarav after that misbehavior.

Khushi arrives home and heads straight to her room. She placed her bag on the chair and had a sigh of relief as the last exam was over. She received a call from Manvi and instantly picked it up "hello dost"

"Kaisa raha exam?" she questioned

"Acha tha lekin aapko pata hai na mujhe kuch doubts they" Khushi explained

"Don't worry tumne bahut mehnat ki hai tum paas ho jaogi aur yeh board exams hai school waale jaanbujhke tumhe fail nahi kar sakte hai '' Manvi assured her.

"Aapse mile hue ek mahina ho gaya hai ab exams bhi nahi hai toh kya aap kabhi mujhse nahi miloge?" Khushi questioned

Manvi remembered Aarav's words and sighed deeply "Khushi main ek teacher hun aur isliye tumhare ghar aaya jaaya karti thi ab nahi aa paungi" she replied

Khushi gets annoyed hearing her sentence "kyun? Aap abtak Mr. Malhotra ki kahi hui baat ko leke baithi ho? Wo toh aise hi hai hamesha sabko mujhse door karte rehte hai!" she spoke

Manvi said "Khushi behave"

"No I won't!" She denies and ends the call in anger.

Manvi sighed in disappointment "pata nahi aisa kya hua tha jo Khushi ke dil mein apne pita ke liye itni nafrat hai.." 

Later at night, Aarav returns from the office. Sharda informed him that Khushi's exams had ended today. He saw her sitting on the couch and watching television.

He forwarded her the invitation and said "main chahta hun ki tum mere saath chalo" he knows her actions will only hurt him but he still places efforts to arouse the lost love in her heart for him.

Khushi held it in her hand, she got up and tore it into pieces in front of his eyes. She threw them into the air and said in a cold tone "har saal kaha hai aur hamesha kahungi! Mujhe nahi jaana hai kahi bhi aapke saath"

"Par"

"Mr. Malhotra aap shayad bhool gaye hai toh main aapko yaad diladun aapne meri dost ke saath badtameezi ki thi uss din jo mere liye bahut zyda matter karti hai aur aapki wajah se ab woh mujhse milna nahi chahti hai kyun aap baar baar mujhe hurt karte ho?" she shouted at him.

"Aur usey kisne haq diya mujhse wo sab kehne ke liye haan?" Aarav argued with her.

"Unhone wo sab dekh liya jo aapne kabhi tha hi nahi Mr. Malhotra! Main beemar thi unhone mera khayal rakha mujhe padhaya jab aapki wajah se school mujhe rusticate karne waala tha! And what did you do? Itni insult ki aapne unki are aapko pata bhi nahi wo kitne dard mein rehti hai" Khushi confronts him.

He smiled sarcastically "wao.. Tumhe kuch mahino mein uska dard nazar aa gaya Khushi apne baap ka nazar nahi aaya jiske saath itne saal se rah rahi ho?" he asked

Khushi crossed her arms and shot a deadly glare at him "koi dard nahi hai aapke andar! Mere liye aap wo insaan jinhone meri mumma mujhse cheeni hai.. Aur meri dost ko bhi mujhse door karne ki koshish kar rahe ho you better apologize to her warna" she warned him.

"Warna kya?" he asked

"You know what I can do Mr. Malhotra!" Khushi declared and walked upstairs to her room. Aarav fumes in anger and shouts "nahi darta main tumhari dhamkiyon se jao jahan jaana hai main nahi maafi mangne waala"

He went to the bar counter and got a drink for himself. He remembered Khushi's words "koi dard nahi hai aapke andar! Mere liye aap wo insaan jinhone meri mumma mujhse cheeni hai.. Aur meri dost ko bhi mujhse door karne ki koshish kar rahe ho"

"She will hate you Aarav tum kabhi apni beti ka pyaar nahi paa paoge"

The past began to haunt him again. He picks up the car keys and leaves the house.
