Manvi's POV

I was working, my colleague said the boss is calling me. I was confused, I headed towards his cabin and he yelled at me. 

"Miss Manvi, you were so negligent at your work that we lost a deal because of you! you are fired" he raged. 

I was shocked, I said, "but Sir.." 

He didn't even bother to listen to me. I just walked out of the office in anger "Argh!! first Aarav and now this.. I just hate my life" 

I didn't even want to go to the house where I felt so much suffocated. No one loves, care about my happiness. Nobody wants to understand me. I was feeling so lonely, nothing was making me happy.

Aarav just has time to do his duty, he had completely forgotten me. Sometimes, I feel he never loved me all he cares about is his work for which he neglects me every time. 

I was distressed, a complete loner person. I walked on the road again and suddenly a van blocked my way. 

I was shocked before I could react the person pulled me inside the van.  I screamed, "leave me!"

"Shh.. That bloody inspector put me behind the bars now I will ruin him by hurting you" the person said in raged tone. 

I was just stunned hearing this, he grabbed my hand tightly. I shouted a loud "help.. Aarav" tears brimmed down my eyes. 

I kept on banging the window of the van but none could understand anything or be precise they were ignoring me. Suddenly the van stopped and the man pulled me out. He brought me to an abandoned factory, I was just scared to the core. 

I didn't even have my phone with me, it was dropped when he abducted me on the road. Because of Aarav, I have landed into trouble. He forced himself on me, I was trying to free myself from him but his grip was firm. 

I just pushed him with my full force and ran away without turning behind. I closed my eyes, I was tired didn't have energy left. I collided with someone, I was shocked as I assumed him to be his henchman. 

I tried to pass by him but he held my wrist and glanced at me. I turned behind and saw the criminal and his men approaching me. I pleaded with him "let me go please.." 

"Sit inside the car" he spoke in his heavy voice. Shall I trust him but I don't have any other option, he looks so decent to me as he was dressed as a business tycoon. I just sat inside the car and eyed what is happening. 

He fought with them, the criminal hit on his head hard and it started to bleed. He fought back and the man was on the floor. I smiled, he took out his phone from the pocket and called the police. 

The criminal shouted "you don't know who I am.. my father is a minister" 

"I am not scared of you scoundrel, you tried to ruin a girl's dignity" the man gazed at him and said. 

The police arrived and arrested him. The man approached the car and sat inside. I carefully looked at him he was about 5 feet 11 inches tall, fair complex, black hairs. He has a well-built body, the way he fought with them seemed like he was a gymnastic person. 

He passed me a water bottle, I held it from his hand and drank the water. He questioned me "Are you alright?" 

I nodded my head affirmatively. He started the car by just pressing a button, I was amazed by it. He even lowered my seat to make me comfortable, the car seemed to be an expensive one. I noticed the BMW logo on the steering wheel.  

He questioned me "Where shall I drop you?" 

I came out of the trance of my thoughts and told him my house address. After 20 minutes, he stopped the car in front of my building. The door opened automatically, I looked and him and said "please come in.. you are hurt" as I noticed the wound on his palm. 

"it's alright I will manage" he replied with a smile. 

"no I really insist Please" I requested him, he agreed. I descended the car, while he parked it in the parking area. 

He came and we headed up to my flat. I opened the door and made way for him to enter first. He entered inside followed by me. I asked him to settle on the couch, he did so and I went to the cabinet to grab the first aid kit. 

I returned and adjacent next to him keeping the first aid kit on the tea table. I opened the box and took out detail along with some cotton to clean his wound. I turned to him, I could notice the sleeve of the coat turning dark. I assumed he is hurt on his elbow too, I said "I think you are hurt on your elbow too! please remove the coat" 

He smiled at me and removed his coat, he folded up his shirt sleeves and I cleaned his wound. I wrapped the bandage around it after applying antiseptic. 

"Thank you!" He replied. 

"thanks to you.. emm.." I didn't know his name. 

"Sameer Khurana" He introduced himself. 

I smiled and replied "Manvi Malhotra" 

"that is a sweet name!" He praised me. 

"coffee?" I questioned. 

"no.. it's okay I shall leave now" he stood up but felt pain in his palm and elbow. 

I said politely "Sameer Ji, please just relax for some time" 

"Are you sure?" He asked hesitated. 

A smile appeared on my face, he is really decent person. I assured him "yea.. " 

I moved to the kitchen and prepared coffee for him. I poured it into the mug and moved to the hall. He was on the phone call "Mr. Sinha, don't worry I will try my best to get the deal" 

I gave him the coffee and he hung the call. I questioned him "Are you a businessman?" 

He denied "no. I am MD of a multinational company" 

I got to know more about him. He looked at the time on his watch and said "I am getting late.. take care" he stood and left the flat. I moved to the balcony and waved him bye. 

He sat inside the car and drove off. I returned and found his coat on the arm of the couch. "he forgot his coat." 

I don't even know where he lives, how will I return this to him? Maybe, he will come back again looking for it. 

I stood at the window with closed eyes feeling the fresh air and lost in my own world. My life is just filled with loneliness, I didn't have many friends around because of my introverted nature in my college days. 

My phone ranged and I assumed it to be from Aarav, I immediately picked up the call and was disheartened because it wasn't him. 

"How are you, my child?" Nandini questioned me. 

"When are you returning mumma?" I asked her, as I wanted her to be with me. 

"after 2-3 months.. how is Aarav?" she asked. 

"he is again gone on some mission to Kashmir, I don't even remember when we had a good conversation together" I complained to her about him. 

She scolded me "Mannu.. again you started, you have to understand! why did you marry him then?" 

"because I loved him and he doesn't love me anymore" I replied in anger disconnected the call. 

Nobody understands my emotions, my pain, my desires. I lay down on the bed with teary eyes. 

The next day, I moved to the mall and was randomly looking at the clothes. My eyes were fixed on the dress, it was the most beautiful elegant I had ever seen. I looked at the price of it, it was 35 thousand which I can't afford. 

I turned and accidentally my lips got attached to someone. I was shocked by this, it turned out to be an accidental kiss. I looked at the person embarrassed "I am so sorry" 

He smiled and said "That is perfectly fine.. Accident happens and some accidents are good" 

I gave him a look, he was Sameer Khurrana. He questioned, "you seemed to be upset anything serious?" 

"it's nothing.." I replied and walked ahead. I returned back to my flat, I kept the groceries in the kitchen and arranged them. 

The doorbell ringed, I moved and opened the door but couldn't find anyone around. I assumed it to be a prank of any of the child on the floor. I was about to close the door, my eyes caught a glimpse of the parcel on the floor. I picked it up and went inside as it has my name written. 

"To the most gorgeous girl I had ever meet" the card had, such wonderful words brought a smile to my face. 

I opened it and was left surprised totally surprised...
