MAYA'S POV:

"Glad to see you again" , shreyash said.
I smiled at him which is obviously fake but I don't want to talk to him so I won't.

"Why is no one home?" , shreyash's dad asked.
"Well i thought you would be knowing why aaryan isn't here" , mom said to him.

He shook his head. What nonsense this is.
I should be beheading them right now.
He kind of ruined my childhood and look at him sitting their like he is the most naive person in the world.

Well-- that incident made me a lot stronger but still ....i was a mere child.

"So maya" , shreyash said.
I looked at him , waiting for him to continue.
"I really wanted to see the city view but as no one's home , can you take me out?" , he asked.

Wait what? Do i really have to?
I looked at mom.
She blinked at me. I take that as a yes.
I'll have to take care of him for today.

MY ASSIGNMENTS!!!!!!
AGHHH WHAT A DRAG!!!

"Fine" , i said ,"After an hour".
"Sure" , he said , smiling at me.

"How old are you now?" , his dad asked me.
What the fuck is now? Does he remember me or something?
"I'm turning 19 soon" , i said.

It's november right now.
My birthday is on 28 February.

-----

MAYA'S POV:

The hour passed in few minutes for me.
"I called ajinkya and adhit but they are few hours away from the city." , mom said before i was about to go out with this fucking piece of shit.

"It's fine , I'll go out for an hour and then come back"

She nodded.
The thing I'm insecure about is that should i be leaving mom and shreyash's dad alone?
I mean they aren't alone. Mom is with 17 guards.

But the guards are on the first floor and mom is on the second one. Well , i don't get a gut feeling that something's wrong so i guess it'll be fine.

"Shall we?" , shreyash asked , sitting on the driver's seat of his car.
I opened the door of the car and sat in.

I miss abhijeet now.
He never let me open the door myself.
I like spending my time with him.

"I'm sorry to come back uninvited" , he said.
Yes , you better be.
I didn't reply.
"Dad wanted to meet Mr.aaryan and so i tagged along"

Such a wrong decision to make.
"So where are we going?" , he asked.
"Take a left"
He did.
"Straight and left"

"You aren't much talkative, are you?" , he asked.
"I don't like talking much" , i said.
My phone rang.
It's abhijeet.
"So he has your phone hacked eh?"
I didn't reply to him.

Just picked up the call.
"Love" , he said ,"Are you alright?"
"Yeah obviously"
"I don't know where you are taking him but try to come back as soon as possible " , he said.
"Hmhm"

"And also , don't let him even touch you or i solemnly swear , I'll kill him off"
Idiot you cannot kill your business partner.
"Alright"
"I'll be back soon too so just hang on huh?"
"Sure"

I said and cut the call.
"What did he say?" , shreyash asked.
"Personal stuff" , i replied.

Why would i tell him what i talked about to my boyfriend?? Just shut the hell up.

"Take a right"
He did.
"Here we are" , i said.
This is the most beautiful place to see the most beautiful spot of the city.

"Isn't it kind off too crowdy?" , he asked.
I don't know why he expects me to take him to a place which has no people in it.

"Who cares? If the view's great then that's it"
He nodded slowly , looking at the view.
"Mesmerized are you?" , i asked.

"Yes"
"The beauty of this city is amazing" , i said.
"I know someone who carries more beauty" , he said looking at me.
Who?
.
.
ME???
WHAT?
IS HE FLIRTING?
OR JUST COMPLIMENTING?
HOLD UP
IF ABHIJEET'S LISTENING TO THIS. HE IS DEAD.

SHOULD I SWITCH OFF MY PHONE?
Yeah.
Better.
I switched my phone off.

"What are you doing?" , he asked.
"No nothing" , i said.
It's none of your business that's what.
I really wish i could tell him what I'm thinking.

"Dad's men kidnapped you once" , he said.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HE THINKING? SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE AROUND US!!

Stop. Chill. Breathe.
I nodded.
"I'm sorry about that" , he said.
What's he sorry about? He should be begging for it if he wants my forgiveness.

"Though , once a girl is kidnapped you don't know how much worse it gets for her"
What does he even expect me to answer him?
"Good thing you killed them" , he added.

I didn't reply.
His phone rang.
He looked at it and did something.
"Where was i?" , he asked.

"Don't know"
"Oh yes-- it was a very courageous thing to do"
I know.
I nodded.

"Shall we eat something?" , he asked.
"Actually , I'm not hungry"
"Liar"

I may be lying but who the fuck is he to tell me that?

"I ate just before you came uninvited " , i taunted.
"Ohh-- alright". He slowly nodded.

I beared him for the next one hour.
Don't know how.
He kept asking me questions about my college and all.

"So you love abhijeet a lot?". He asked.
"Yeah"
That's the entire reason why I'm with him.

"Let's go home , i have countless of assignments" , i said.
"Sure"
We drove back to the home.

He is parking the car in the garage.
He parked it and i was about to remove my seatbelt.
"Hold up" , he interrupted.
I looked at him , confused.

"Let me do that for you" , he said.
"Do what?"

He leaned forward and removed my seat belt.
He shouldn't be this close.
My heart rate is going high.
No no no.
No panic attack now.
Even i could do that , he didn't have to get close.
Calm down.

The moment he removed the seatbelt i got out of the car and maintained my distance.
He should be staying atleast a meter away from me.

My heart rate is still the same.
We climbed to the second floor.
Everyone is sitting on the second floor.

Abhijeet hugged me instantly.
"Why isn't your phone working?" , he asked.
"It got switched off" , i lied.

And regretted. I shouldn't have lied.
"Actually , i switched it off" , i corrected myself.

He hugged tighter.
"And how would i know if my love is ok?"

"I'm here infront of you" , i told him.
"She is fine", shreyash said .
Abhijeet let go of me.
He looked at him with his hand in mine.
He gave him a look and said , "Of course she is".

------

MAYA'S POV:
"I'm so sorry" , abhijeet is apologizing for the past two hours.
Don't know what for.
"Shut up before i make you sit away from me" , i said.

He is making me sit on his lap like I'm some child.
We are sitting on the chair , he is doing nothing except to watch me and I'm doing my assignments.

These damn assignments are now incomplete because of that uninvited guest.
He is going to stay here for few days.

Just use a damn hotel. But no. He has to live here with us. What a waste.

"Love , you are distracted" , he said , holding my neck with his right hand.
If i tell him it's because of shreyash , he won't like it.

"I don't want to do these assignments , I'm tired" , i said.
"We can do something else if you want" , he said , slipping his hand into my shirt.

"Hey hey" , surprised me removed his hand.
"I'm busy you idiot" , i said.
"We can be more busier" , he said pulling me back.
"Later"

I definitely don't want to get dominated by him right now.
For now , i need time to complete this.

Someone knocked on the door.
"Who the fuck is it?" , abhijeet barked.
"Manners" , i reminded.

"It's me"
"What's shreyash doing here?" , abhijeet whispered and picked me up.
"Put me down" , i said.

But he ain't listening.
He is standing infront of the door , me in abhijeet's arms.
"Open the door" , he said.

I gave him a look and opened the door.
"Woah" , shreyash reacted.
"Why are you here?", abhijeet asked.

"I wanted to talk to you about something new i wanted to add in the business" , he answered.
"I'm busy" , abhijeet replied.

"Atleast listen to him" , i whispered to abhijeet.
He gripped me tighter.

I got my answer.

I should shut up.
"Alright , we'll talk our dinner together" , shreyash said and left.
I closed the door.

He pulled me closer to him.
"Listen to him eh?"

I'm in a big trouble now.

AJINKYA'S POV:

It's bullshit. Shreyash should leave. Why is he even here again?
"What are you thinking?" ,adhit asked , doing his assignments.
"Shreyash"
"Expected"

"I think it's more than that---" , adhit said.
"What is?"

"Even if he is here , his dad never visited us at home" , he said.
"Yes , i know"
"It's his first time to visit like this"

I nodded.
"It's too suspicious" , i said.
"Exactly"

Mom knocked on the door , "Dinner's ready" , she said.
"Lesss go"
"I'll go call abhijeet and maya" , i said.

I went to their room alone.
I knocked on the door.
I can hear maya laughing out loud.
"Who the fuck is it now?", abhijeet barked.

Maya still laughing.
I wonder what happened.
"It's me"
"Get lost" , he replied.

"Give me a break" , maya said.
I can clearly hear them.
I knocked again.

What are they even doing?
Abhijeet opened the door.
"I just said get lost" , he said.
"Dude-- don't you want to have your dinner?" , i asked.
"I have my dinner in my room" , he said.

Eh? What?
He looked at maya.
Seriously?
Maya stood up next to him.
"That is no way to talk to your bestfriend" , she said , grinning.

"Should i tickle you more?" , abhijeet asked her.
She pushed him a little far and said , "Definitely no" .

"Guys"

"Why not?" , abhijeet asked.
"It's unbearable" , she replied

"Guys"

"I love hearing you laugh"
"Yes but---

"GUYSSS" , I shouted and regretted instantly by the look abhijeet gave me.
"Dinner's ready"

"I hate you so damn much" , abhijeet said , glaring at me , "I love you too" i said and winked at him.
