Ayush's POV

"Baby doll, You scare me?"I complained cupping, observing her pale face.

She is lying sound asleep on my bed in my room

And Have I ever imagined this? No!Never.

She got a panic attack and I brought her to my house, my room straight away.

No one is there at my house, so I brought her here.

She needs some rest, looks so tired and pale.

I was almost died to see her suffocating, thriving for air to breathe.

For a second I felt someone taking away my breath.

Why she? Why she always? I cursed her ill fate, Just a small 'nod', a small 'yes' from her mouth I will get her out from this hell.

Why can't she see my love? my pain?

I know I am not as expressive and charming as Arjun but I love her more than anything, more than my life.

Now, this Peeyush is after her, Her parents want her to marry this ruthless doctor.

By the way, what is Peeyush doing there in the Cafe? I wanted to enquire and asked Diwakar to find about him.

Before that, I need to investigate a few things, I gave a number to Diwakar and asked him to fetch some the call records.

Is Peeyush up to anything? I felt possessive and protective of the girl lying in front of me.

I looked at her face keeping all my worries aside, she is sleeping with agape mouth and snoring softly.

Her luscious thick lips are inviting me to capture them and badly wanted to kiss her forehead and admit my love to her.

I sat there watching her face, her features.

Her big almond eyes are tightly shut, her cheeks are stained with tears, her lips are trembling and mumbling something in sleep.

Without a second thought I walked to her dragged her closer to me. She mumbled something in sleep and a smile danced on my lips.

Gently placing her head on my lap, I  encircled my arm around her shoulder and arm firmly.

Her touch tickled my heart.

This is so new, Very new to me.

I never tried to hug her, Though we both are good friends I never allowed her near to me, never tried to put my hands on her.

I know I need a lot of self-control if lose myself in her touch in my teens.

But now, She looked so divine, my hands are craving to touch her but my heart is feeling her presence deeply.

A tear escaped from my eye on her cheek.

I got a huge shock, probably for the first time in life.

I am crying after these many years.

"Sir, "I picked Diwakar's call for the very first ring, not to disturb her.

Gently placing her head on the pillow, I left checking her condition.

"Tell me Diwakar," I said pacing out of the room trying to capture the view of the city in the evening lights through my Balcony.

"Sir, Finally I could retrieve the call records of the number you had given me." He said at a stretch making me smile.

"Really?" I asked again hiding my excitement,

Now I got a hope to solve this mystery.

"Yes, Sir." He replied with the same happiness.

"And the surprising thing, he did call Arjun day before his death." He gave me the exact piece of information.

"Okay," I said with a composed tone trying to keep calm, not show any unwanted excitement.

"Thank you, sir, I will mail you the details." He said and cut the call.

I walked back to my room and saw her sleeping hugging a pillow tightly.

She looked so innocent yet sexy.

I gulped down in fear and ecstasy.

She is my fantasy.

She is my ecstasy.

She is my passion.

She is my everything.

I don't want to lose her to Peeyush.

If I failed to protect her from Peeyush then there will be no use of bearing those stars on my shoulder.

I picked my mobile, laid beside her, and took a selfie with her.

I sent it to someone, despite knowing the fact, that she won't forgive me for this.

But I need to make the person believe that she loves me and we are in a relationship.

Sorry Riya,!I kissed her forehead and she stirred in sleep soon I pressed my lips on her forehead.

"You are responsible dear, "

"You alone are responsible," I said caressing her cheek.

"You make me lose my sanity. "I sighed.

The medication is so heavy and the doctor told me that it will take a few more hours for her to gain consciousness.

I felt ashamed of myself, I know I shouldn't justify my actions, but I am doing it to save her from monsters.

This girl is making me do a few things against my ethics and my profession.

Why Riya, Why? I slumped my shoulders heaving a sigh.

Another two hours passed and I opened my eyes to look at my angel.

She sat staring at me, who is lying on the couch beside the bed.

"When did you woke up? Are you okay?"I asked her marching to her.

"Fine..."She whispered in the air, looking at the surroundings.

She knows very well where she is.

Her despair and reluctance towards herself are bothering me a lot.

"I need to go, Thank you." She spoke searching for her bag.

"Thank you, When did you start following all these formalities?" I asked crossing my arms, raising my brow.

She gulped in pain and lifted her head trying to meet my eyes.

"I wanted to talk to you something but you are angry with me." She said hiding those tears.

"Shhh!" I cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

"Ayush..." She got surprised by my action.

"I want to tell you one thing,.." She spoke closing her eyes tightly.

My blood just boiled listening to her words.

"Your dad fixed your marriage with that b*st*rd Peeyush and...."I paused for a second glaring at her.

She is holding her tears.

"And you said "yes"... "

"Ayush..." She slumped her shoulders trying to say something.

"You can't spare his presence even for a few minutes, you came running to me for your rescue"

"And you want me to believe me that you are ready and happy with this marriage."

"Get out, Riya, I don't want to see your face....." I showed her exit.

"I hate those who can't stand up for themselves. You are a confused soul Riya, You are immature."

"Sorry to say this but you are a failure......Riya, you never stood who loves you and who troubles you."

"You opted Arjun and he was not less than an a*shole."

"Now Peeyush..." I chuckled.

"Ayush let me explain, "She cried.

"There is much more.." She begged.

"Go away, Riya, I don't want to listen to your words" I shouted.

"I don't want to see your face."

"You broke my heart again," I mumbled.

She walked away glaring at me filled with hatred.

They are showing immense pain.

I turned around and heard her hefty footsteps.

I closed my eyes banging the door with my fist.

To be continued.

What's happening

Any idea?

What will Ayush do now?

Who did he send the selfie?

How is it?

Tell me.

Take care.
