Piya's POV

I found my phone in the car but decided to wait in the parking lot for my family so that I do not need to face my boss and his family.

A minute later

I deeply regret my previous decision because someone pulls my forearm and takes me to the backside of the car.

What the f...

Don't you dare

A cold and familiar manly voice stops the next word.

S....irrr

My eyes pop out in shock and I gulp the saliva in fear after seeing his angry eyes. How much I try to stay away from him but still he manages to come in front of me then starts behaving as if I'm haunting him.

You were saying something earlier?

Noo S..ir

I say many things and how will I know which one he's referring to.

What was that Bea....?

I'll be dead now. How I wish that he didn't hear me but nothing can be done now so I try to alter it.

Beautiful Sir, I unknowingly answer.

What? You find me beautiful?, he looks surprised.

No never, I don't.. you.. you are just a normal guy

As I realised that I called him beautiful, I blabber something which makes him more furious.

Excuse me

His intense eyes burn with the need for revenge which is not new for me. It seems that I unintentionally hurt his manly ego. Before I can rectify my mistake, he invades my personal space.

I try to move aside while raising my hands to push him away but he holds them and loops them around his neck. His hands wrap my waist like a snake.

What were you saying, Miss. Sharma? How do I look? Plain, normal guy?

I didn't say plain Sir but just a normal guy, I tried to correct him but it backfired on me.

YOU

Our faces are way closer but he still continues with his questions.

What are you doing Sir?

This is not the time for fumbling Piya, you have to take the bull by the horns. I mean I have to directly deal with the beast or bull whatever.

How dare you? What do you think of yourself? Do you know who I am, I'm Aryansh Shekhawat and no one dares to mess with me the way you do, Piya Sharma.

This is the first time I am hearing him call me with my full name. I don't know why it feels weird. I am sure that this is not a good way of weird. What is a good and a bad way of weird. Weird is weird, right?

What did I do Sir? Nothing. Actually it's you who is holding a grudge on me. So bad. Does it look nice that Aryansh Shekhawat is terrorizing an intern

I try to confuse him with my words so that he can forget about the beast part and at the same time I'm trying to push him away but the more I do, the more he's getting closer. Hello, a girl needs space to breathe.

He narrows his eyes on my reply and lifts my chin with his thumb whereas my sole concentration is to move away from him.

I don't forget the insults, Piya Sharma

He put pressure on my chin with his finger. I also hold my head high this time and answer him, same here.

You don't have any idea what I can do?

Exactly, he gives me a perplex look on my reply.

I mean, yes, I don't know you so how can I know what you can do. It's not like you told me everything about what you can do. As you didn't tell me what you can do so I don't know what you can do. Then why are you asking me what you can do.

Shut up

He put the silencer, I mean his palm on my mouth to halt my blabbering. I thought of biting his palm and pushing him away but before I could execute my plan, he pressed my waist and said

Don't you dare

I pouts and gets jealous of his mind reading talent. A minute later, he removes the palm from my mouth but still occupies my personal space with his unwanted presence.

Leave me, Sir

Why?

It's suffocating

Good, you deserve it for your behaviour

Once again he lifts my chin and I don't know what he's trying to find in my eyes. I hear some voices and it doesn't take me a minute to realise that it is Siya's voice. That means my family is coming.

Sir, please go. My family is coming I request him but he doesn't budge from his place.

Ar..ya..nshh, please leave from here

I don't know what makes me call his name but he pulls me further closer instead of moving away. We are in each other's arms now.

Ar..yansh, pl..ease

I close my eyes in fear of getting caught by my family. Again I feel him bringing me very closer. My face is hiding in his neck. Suddenly he moves away and leaves me alone in the parking lot.

I run and stand in front of the car.

Aryansh's POV

My family sits at the table beside the Sharma's . I can hear their talks especially when Miss. Sharma is telling them about us. I want to know the complete sentence of her, what is that word Bea... Is she calling me Beast?

I go to meet her family as she tells them about us. Her father's reaction to my greeting is not surprising to me because a few days back she was complaining to him about me and my rude behaviour towards her. He seems to be angry with me for making his daughter cry.

Later, Atharv and I go to place the order and I see Miss. Sharma is going out for some reason. Without any rationale, I follow her from the other side of the parlor. I see her standing in the parking lot near a car. I take her to the backside of the car for privacy.

She calls me "beautiful" and that's the weirdest compliment I ever received in my life.

Normal? From which angle I look as a normal guy? Didn't she know the word "Handsome"? I'm not exaggerating but I have a good physique and am a good-looking face, thanks to my genes.

I move closer to her but when she tries to push me away, I pull her with more force and wrap her waist.

Her name, Piya, sounds nice and pleasing to my ears. If I recollect the past I always called her Miss. Sharma. Calling her Piya sounds good and correct but she calling me a normal guy doesn't go well with me.  This girl is not the easy nut to crack. She is skilled in covering the mistakes and in confusing the people.

I lift her chin up with my thumb and mentally notes that she has very soft skin. Her fumbling and heavy breathing is now tormenting me. I come here to confront her for calling me the beast but not to drool on her.

I don't forget the insults, Piya Sharma, I put more pressure on her chin whereas she held her head high and answered, same here.

You don't have any idea what I can do?

Exactly

What does she mean now ?

There she goes with her confusing talks. I put my palm on her mouth but notice her mind racing with the various thoughts on how to push me away. Before she implements any weird plan, I warn her.

Don't you dare

I remove my palm from her mouth but still stand closer to her.

To feel her soft skin, I lift her chin and watch her eyes to see if she is also sailing in the same boat as me or not.

I hear some voices but Piya recognizes the owner of those voices and starts pushing me. Why is her family coming so early ? Couldn't they enjoy it for some more time? I should have told Atharv to indulge them in talk.

Ar..ya..nshh, please leave from here

Something happens when her scared and tensed voice calls my name. Subconsciously, I pull her closer to hear my name again from her lips. Later, I leave the place to avoid giving a shock to her family.

Third Person's POV

Where were you Aryansh?

On call Maa

Aryansh comes back and sits with his family, who all are looking at him with curious eyes to decipher his hidden secrets relating to the new intern.

Hmmm, by the way Mumma, that new intern is not bad so it seems that our Aryansh is unnecessarily strict towards her

Sneha Shekhawat, Aryansh's mother, tells her mother-in-law and notices her son's expression which is blank like always.

Why are you interested in her wifey? Do you want her to be your daughter in law? Well Atharv may look good with her

Ajay Shekhawat tells his wife but his target is to bring a reaction out of Aryansh, which actually happens when both the Shekhawat boys choke on their ice cream.

Cough cough

What happened to both of you? Ajay fake sympathizes.

Uncle she is older than me, how can you think like that?

Age is just a number, Son, Rajesh Shekhawat replies to his son, siding with his brother.

Aunt

Atharv's whines because he is very well aware that only one person can put a full stop to elder Shekhawats talks.

I'm just kidding. No need to get hyper and anyhow they are not up to our status

Ajay says but his eyes are still focusing on his son whose grip tightens on ice-cream cup with a cold expression.

Ajay, Digvijay chides his son as he understands that he is teasing his grandchild.

Aryansh

Yes, Grandpa

Eat the ice-cream son and don't think about your father's words. What you want will only happen.

Aryansh gives a smile to his grandfather for understanding the unspoken words and then faces his father who raises the eyebrows in return.

Maa, Dad ate one full slice of cheesecake at the office today.

Aryansh takes the revenge on his father for troubling him.

Ajay's sugar level easily gets high so he should not eat the sweets with high sugar. His wife, Sneha, is very particular about that. She can bear anything but not a compromise on her husband's health.

ARYANSH

Ajay shouts at him for destroying his night. Now, not only Sneha will ignore him but she will also kick him out of their bedroom. Poor him.

Tonight you can sleep with me in my room Dad, Aryansh teases his father while trying to hide his Smirk.

That's my boy

Digvijay Shekhawat laud his favourite grandson and everyone laughs when they see sneha changing the seats and sitting beside the Aryansh.

After sometime they all leave for home. Ajay tries to apologise to his wife but nothing works on Sneha.
