MAYA'S POV :

"MAYA---I AM HERE." , A voice said.
Trying to comfort me.
I slowly opened my eyes.

What the hell.
"Ahh you are awake" , he said.
I blinked.

My eyes are too tired.
I don't understand what's happening.

"Are you ok , love?" , He asked.
I tilted my head , leaning on his chest.
He is holding me in his arms.

I don't know why but i feel good.
My heart rate is so high right now.

He held me even tighter.
"Everything is ok now" , he said.
I definitely don't know what's going on here but then again it doesn't really matter.

                                       -------

MAYA'S POV :

I opened my eyes.
I am in his arms now too.

He is just--looking at me.
Doing nothing but paying attention to me.

Just what i need but---what happened to me?

"Did you have a bad dream , love?" , he asked.
I don't know.
I don't remember but i do have a feeling that i did.

"You were crying in your sleep" , he said.
Was i?
Oh--yes.

Unfortunately i had a nightmare again.
I get nightmares almost everyday since i was a child.
"You can share it with me" , he said.
"Oh it's nothing" , i told him cause i definitely don't want to ruin it for him.

"Tell me everything" , he said.
Should i be telling him?
I mean hiding things isn't good but--

"I don't remember quite well but i just had a bad flashback" , i told him.

He put his hand on my neck and cheek--and just--pulled the entire me in his arms.

He hugged me.
HE HUGGED ME.

The first time i ever hugged someone.

The first time i ever let someone hug me.

The first time i actually liked it.

"You can always tell me whatever you want to" , he said.
"I'll listen to you without ever getting bored of it" , he added.

Will he actually?
Will he actually listen to me?
Will he actually listen to me without getting bored?

"Why would you though?" , I asked.
"Cause--I LOVE YOU" , He said.

"I really do" , he added.

Yes , he does.
I can feel it.
Do i love him too?
Is this feeling called as love?

"For long were you holding me like this?" , I asked him.

"Don't know--2 hours maybe?"

"Are you serious?? You held me in your arms for 2 fucking hours just cause i was crying in my sleep?"

"I would kill myself before letting you cry but you weren't opening your eyes so i did what i could." , He said.

                                       ------

MAYA'S POV :
I took a bath when aaron was busy with his workout.
Today is holiday for both of us.
I don't know where we are going today but I'll prefer us to not go out.

I was about to comb my hair..standing infront of my mirror.
Ahh they are too long for me to handle now.
My hands get tired combing them.

Hip length is too long.
But i like it like this.

Aaron stopped his workout and came towards me.
He grabbed the comb from my hand and said , "You cannot handle them , but i can" .

"How do you how to?" , I asked him.

"I learned it for you" , he said.
He was combing my hairs now.
Standing behind me.
Still being tall enough for me to be able to watch him even when he is behind me.

"I've heard your audios to arsh and you have said it 7 times that your hands get tired while combing your hairs" , he said.

Audios? I send countless audios to arsh everyday.
"Did you listen to every one of them?" , I asked.
"Yeah ofcourse" , he said.
"They were too many--why would you?" , I asked turning back to him.

"I wanted to know things about you" , he said.
He turned me back by my waist and continued combing.

Woah---what is in my stomach??
It feels like-floating? I don't know.
Is this what is known as getting butterflies?

Aaron's phone is ringing.
"Pick it up" , i told him.
"Ignore it love" , he said , "you are more important ".

I grabbed his phone and showed him who's call it is.
It's of adhit.

"Go on" , i told him , giving him the phone.
He sighed.
But picked the call.

"What?" , He asked coldly.

"Yeah"

"No not today"

"Cause I don't want to"

"I don't care if it's important"

"Why would i handle the phone to her?" , He asked adhit on the call.

What are they talking about?

"You fucking piece of shit..
FINE !!HERE YOU GO" , Abhijeet taunted him.

And gave the phone to me.

"Hello?" , I said.
"Look , i got a contract from gucci. They sent an email to me a week ago but i forgot to read it and the shoot is very important so they are asking for abhijeet and that DAMN IDIOT IS REFUSING!!" , adhit told me.

"Please convince him for the shoot" , he said.

"Is the shoot today itself?" , I asked him.

"Yes , after 1 and a half hours", he told me.
"Ok" , i said and cut the call.

I put the phone aside.
"No" , abhijeet said even before i could say something.
"Please?", I asked.
He turned himself so that he won't be able to see me.

I moved myself until i was infront of him.
"For me?" , I convinced him.

"I don't want to waste the day we have" , he said.
"We won't be wasting it , we have plenty of time" , i told him.
"Come on aaron"

He growled.
"Fine , only if you come with me" , he said.
"Done"

  ------

MAYA'S POV:

"Thankyou for convincing him" , adhit said.
Adhit told me that he handles all the contracts of abhijeet as a model.

Adhit is good with maintaining contracts and deals.
Abhijeet is currently doing his shoot.
He is looking so--so so so stunning.

He is in all white clothes.
I don't know the theme or whatsoever , all i know is that he is looking like an absolute treasure.

The power his looks holds is greater than the power smartness does.
No wonder he is popular with everyone.
Everyone listens to him without any second thought.

"Looks good right?" , Adhit teased me.
"Yes" , i confessed.

"I'll be right back , i have to talk to the manager" , he said.

I nodded.

I stood there...by my myself.
Having my eyes only on him.

How his body is moving for poses.
It's kind of giving me---

"Hii" , a person greeted me.
I didn't say anything cause ofcourse I don't know her.

"You are abhijeet's date aren't you?" , She asked.

Should i be telling her?
I guess it doesn't matter even if i do so...
I nodded.

"He is a good person isn't he?--like as a human?" , she asked.

"Yes he is" , i told him.
"Though he is a total maneater--i mean womaneater in bed", she said.

Trying to make me jealous ?
She thinks it is working?
I guess yes.
It is working.

"Be careful " , she said and got away from me.

First ruha , second her.
What a drag this is.
How many more girls did he had before me?

"Sorry about this work stuff", abhijeet said.
He stood beside me.
"Where's adhit?" , He asked.
"He said he wanted to talk to the manager" , i replied.

Should i tell him about that girl?

I guess i should.

"A girl came to talk to me earlier...she warned me that you are a total womaneater in bed" , i told him.
How should i be putting this in words??
I don't know.

"Who did?" , He asked.

Ahh let's see.
I searched for the girl by rotating myself.
Cannot find her.

"She isn't here anymore", i told him.
"I am so sorry for that love" , he said , "I'll take care of her".

Doesn't matter now.
Once said will always be remembered by me.

I don't like the way everyone knows about him except me.

                                       ------

MAYA'S POV:
"What did that girl talked to you about?" , Adhit asked.

We were in the car going home.
"She warned me", i told him.

"Girls talk more than they should" , adhit said to abhijeet.

"Don't worry--i'll take care of her soon" , abhijeet said.

Take care of her ?
Huh?
.
.
.
.
We dropped adhit and now we are heading to my pg.
.
.
.
.
I opened the door with my keys.
"Yoooo look who's here", sabrina said.
"Hi there" , abhijeet replied.
I just smiled.

"What are you guys doing at home?...i mean go out , have fun" , she said.
Thoughtful of her.
But she doesn't know me.

"I prefer staying in actually" , abhijeet told her.

I looked at him.
He was already looking at me.
Smiling.
He knows me well enough.

   -----

MAYA'S POV :

We both are doing nothing but to listen to music.
"I am sorry for testing you at first...i considered the possibility of you being like normal girls" , he confessed.

"I am sorry for pushing you away from me. I was just scared" , i confessed something too.

"I am sorry for having you under cameras"

"I am sorry for being rude to you"

"You remember the time when you had to share the tent with me?" , He asked.

"Ofcourse i do"

"I was the one who let the mosquitoes in your tent and also made sure that no one would share their tent with you except me" , he said.

"Thought so" , i said.
When he first confessed to me.
I thought of everything he has done on purpose.
He has always pulled me towards him.

He pulled me in his arms.
"I love you" , he said.
I smiled.

Cause i already know that.

He backed off.
He grabbed my neck and pulled my face close to his.
He tilted his head to kiss.

I backed off.
SHIT--
WHY DID I BACKED OFF??
I WANTED THAT BUT--

"Listen---"

"It aches me in the heart to see you getting away from me. You are being so cruel to me. I--i was so patient with you....did everything i could and yet you are just----", a drop fell from his eyes.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE MAYA?
I WANTED TO KISS HIM BUT I DON'T KNOW I JUST--

"I love you--more than i love anything else in the world. You are the colours to my world-you bring the darkness to my sunshine and balance my life out. I was so incapable of loving but i made myself capable enough to love you", he confessed.

I HAVE DONE SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T HAVE.
I CAN'T BREATHE.

NOT THIS AGAIN!!

HE LEFT THE ROOM.
HE LEFT THE HOUSE.

HE IS GONE.

BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
I AM NOT ABLE TO BREATHE.

FUCK!!!

    ------

MAYA'S POV :

It's been a day since i've seen him.
I called him a lot of times but he didn't answer me.
I called ajinkya and adhit too but they say that he isn't home.

It's a sunday today , so i had no errand to run.
I visited his house but he wasn't there.

His mom told me that he never goes anywhere without telling her...but now he is somewhere and no one knows.

No one knows where he is.
Ajinkya asked me what happened and i told him everything.
Including those damnn panic attacks.

The reason why I wasn't able to stop abhijeet or talk to him at that moment.

Ajinkya told me that he knows a place which is Aaron's favourite one.

"Hop in" , he said opening the door for me.
Adhit is sitting beside ajinkya in the front.
I am in the back.

"I know a spot where he used to hangout a lot of times" , ajinkya told me.

I see.
Even his mom and dad are worried about him.
Ofcourse they are.
Just because my parents were never worries for me doesn't mean other parents don't.

Yeah.
It was my fault backing off from the kiss.
I completely shattered his heart.

Though it wasn't my first time rejecting him.

After some time we were somewhere near the woods.
It's really rare to see woods in a city.
It's outside the city so i guess no one visits this place.

"With me" , ajinkya said.
"Yeah"

We followed ajinkya inside the forest.
Oh wait--isn't this the camping place?
Our camp trip!!
It's the same place isn't it?

We saw abhijeet's porsche.
Which confirms he is here.

We searched for him.
A lot.
A lot.
A lot.

He isn't here.
We three searched for him but he isn't here.

Oh wait...

The waterfall---if i loved the waterfall then he must have loved it too.
"Hold up , he must be near the waterfall" , i told them.

"No harm in checking", ajinkya said.

We went near the waterfall and HERE HE IS!!!

I ran up to him and hugged him.
"Idiot , what are you a kid to run off?" , I said.

He gave me a blank reaction.
Didn't even talk.
