Aarav's POV

The floor shook underneath me after seeing it clip. I closed my laptop immediately and panicked. My mind had stopped working, I recalled her words. She said to keep the physical relationship with her. How can she drop so low? Manvi is her best friend. I was emotional, I controlled my emotions.

My phone buzzed, I picked it up with my trembling hands. I read the message, it was from Ahana "now, get me entry to your house warna Karan uncle aur Nandini maasi ko ye dikha dungi uske baad tum jante ho tumhara kya hoga"

She was blackmailing me. I threw my phone on the floor in anger. She was pressurizing me if Karan and Nandini saw this. They will be ashamed of me and will also blame me for ruining their daughter's life. Things will turn more complicated.

I rushed out of the office and reached Ahana's flat. I rang the bell, she opened the door and smiled at me. I held her by the neck and pushed her inside. I shouted "kyun kyun??"

She pushed me with all her efforts and shouted in the same tone as mine "because I love you.. You forced me to take this step shaadi karli tumne maine bardasht kiya par uss Manvi ke saath tum khush raho ye mujhe bardasht nahi hota"

"So you are going to blackmail me??" I asked.

She took out her phone and showed "these are so romantic pictures Aarav.. "

I closed my eyes and calmed down my anger, taking a deep breath. I asked.. "Kya chahiye tumhe?"

"Bata chuki hun main.. Mera haq you will only get intimate with me not with Manvi.." she declared her decision.

I denied "kisi keemat pe nahi.. Apni galti maanta hun main.. par jaan bujh ke Manvi ko dhoka nahi dunga main.. Ye gunah hoga dhoka hoga uske saath"

"Please Aarav.. Don't give me this gyan.. Meri baat maanlo warna isse bhi buri cheez hai mere paas" she said.

I gave her a look and she showed me a video. I was shocked, it was a recording of our intimate moment. I just could not believe it.

"Tum kehti ho tum mujhse pyar karti ho.. Aur dusri taraf ye video" I asked.

"Baby.. this was part of romance.. I knew ki tum meri baat nahi maanoge isliye karna pada mujhe.." she said, scrolling her finger on my face.

I pushed her away and declared my decision "main nahi rakhunga tumse koi bhi relation samjhi tum.. Ye sabse nahi darta hun main" I walked out of the house.

I sat inside the car and kept my head on the steering wheel. My mind was completely blank. I was mentally disturbed. I drove off to the marine drive. I parked the car and sat on the bank of the sea on the stone. All the thoughts were disturbing me and I can't go back home with this. It was 7 pm and I headed back to the house.

I was shocked to see Ahana again but did not react.

Manvi pulled me and said "Aarav this was the surprise, Ahana ne kaha tha wo aaj hamare liye dinner banayegi chalo baitho"

She made me sit on the dining table and the food was served. I tried to act normal.

Manvi asked "Ahana.. Tum mujhe kuch bata rahi thi kya tha wo?"

I glanced at Ahana, who eyed me with a smile.

"Haa manvi.. Meri ek dost hai uske fiancee ne use cheat kiya shaadi ke kuch din pehle ek ladki ke saath.. Aur phir wedding waale din bhi" She said indirectly.

Manvi was shocked hearing this "what??"

"Haa... ab ye baat use kaise batau main?" she asked.

"Ahana please mujhse mat pucho.." Manvi replied.

"Are bata na? Agar uski jagah tu hoti toh kya karti?" Ahana asked.

"Main.. shaadi tod deti kabhi maaf nahi karti aur dhokedari ke case mein andar kar deti.. Mumma papa mera saath zaroor dete" She replied.

I coughed badly hearing this. Ahana forwarded a glass of water and asked "kya hua Aarav?"

I gave her a look, she smiled. I was done with the food and stood up taking my plate. I entered the kitchen and cleaned my plate. I recalled Manvi's words and she put me in a dilemma.

Ahana's POV

I intentionally said those words, I know how to play with Aarav's mind and heart. I looked at the time it was 9 pm. I looked at Manvi and said "acha I will leave now"

Manvi replied "no ahana.. Bahut late ho gaya hai aaj raat tum yahi ruk jao"

I was not prepared for it, but she made it easier for me to convince Aarav. I denied first as I did not want her to doubt my intentions.

"Nahi.. tumhe aur Aarav ko disturb hoga" I said with a sad face but deep inside my heart was dancing.

She insists "nahi koi disturb nahi hoga neeche guest room hai tum wahi so jao main aur Aarav upar honge" she concluded.

I agreed, Aarav came and I glanced at him. He walked straight upstairs to the room, Manvi's phone rang and she chuckled seeing the caller ID. It seemed it was from her parents, she got busy talking to them. I went inside the guest room and lay down on the bed thinking about Aarav. I remembered our first meeting. How I was lost in him when he was shirtless in front of me. That guy killed me there. He is so hot and I never encountered anyone before. The spark in his eyes and the glow on his face. My mind was fully occupied with Aarav.

My phone rang and it was from my office. I picked it up and asked "What?"

"Ahana.. Fashion show miss kiya tumne aaj phir" she said.

I was hardly interested in her words. I replied "important kaam tha"

"Okay.. next show mein aaogi ki nahi?" She asked.

I agreed and disconnected the call.

Later at night, I could not sleep. I stepped out of the room and walked upstairs. I entered inside Aarav's bedroom. I glanced at them. Manvi was sleeping peacefully but Aarav was awake. He was working on the laptop. It seemed he was busy with office work. I approached him and he panicked seeing me.

He eyed at Manvi and then looked towards me, he asked in a whispering tone "kya kar rahi ho tum yahan?"

I smirked and replied "yahi batau?"

He was smart enough to understand, he stood up and held my wrist. His touch was always special and he pulled me out of the room. He brought me downstairs to the guest room and asked "kya hai?"

"What? Tumne suna na Manvi ne kya kaha" I said meaningfully.

He glanced at me silently, I could see in his eyes the confusion. I triggered his mind more and said "agar tumpar case kar diya Manvi ne toh tumne jo naam kamaya hai wo sab mitti mein mil jayega.. And you don't want your father name to get ruin"

He was thoughtful about my words. The fear was visible on his face, I smiled and took out my phone and played the video. He looked at it and I asked, raising my eyebrow "bheju Manvi ko?"

"Aur agar ye maine internet pe leak kar diya toh? Socho headlines Business tycoon Aarav Sinha ka mms hua Viral ek shaadi shuda insaan ka extramarital affair.." I mimicked the reporter's tone.

He eyed me and said "tum aisa nahi kar sakti.. Isme tum bhi ho"

I laughed and said sarcastically "par main ye toh kah sakti hun na you forced yourself on me and ye tumne banaya.. Aur I am a girl meri baat sab maanenge tumpar koi yakeen nahi karega.. You will be on road Aarav phir kya karoge?"

He said something which made me elated.

To be continued..

Will Aarav agree to Ahana?
