"Please leave me", she pleaded with closed eyes.

"I am not doing anything", he stated looking at her possessively.

"Please step back", she pleaded again. He observed her angelic face who was looking scared.

"If I don't step back then?", he asked pushing her hair strand behind her ear making her shiver.

"I'll tell Dadda", she told him shivering in his arms.

"I am still shocked how every single person in my house knows you and I don't", he wondered out loud as she bit her lower lip.

"I want to go home", she whispered.

"Are you really scared of me?", he asked moving a little away from her which made her finally take a deep breath of relief.

She opened her eyes looking down again being her silent self.

"Why did you want to be a teacher?", he asked her as she looked at him shocked by his question but the moment their eyes collided she chose to look down again.

"I love kids", she spoke. He tilted his head to the left loving her voice. He just wishes that she would speak more often.

"I would make sure you have your own soon", he spoke making her clutch her dupatta tightly in nervousness.

"Can't we get married later? I am still studying", she proposed playing with her fingers. 

He stared at her remembering her beautiful self properly. Her long slightly curly yet straight brown hair which moved with the wind as she pushed them back.

"I am not tearing your books as well", he stated which made her press her lips together.

"I just don't want distraction right now", she whispered in her soft voice making him go crazy for her.

"Am I a distraction for you?", he asked as she bobbed her head in a small nod.

"Than be it", he spoke making her clutch her dupatta again.

---------------------------

"Bhabhi, Tara is very young. She is a child herself how can she handle a new family", Roshni spoke to Shraddha while the males continued staring at the females.

"Roshni, my son finally found his happiness in somebody. I spoke to Kenit, she is a good girl and if my son wants her as his wife he would get her", Shraddha spoke curtly.

"You are being stubborn now. Arjun is obsessed with her. He would ruin her life with his anger", Roshni spoke.

"You think there is some problem with my son", Shraddha said looking sharply at Roshni who stared at her with a frown.

"It is enough Shraddha. You know Roshni took care of Arjun when you were too busy with your mother and her plans. If you gave birth to Arjun then Roshni took care of him as her own only. She put him before Kenit and Kinshuk", Adhi told Shraddha who stared at Roshni with sharp eyes.

"Roshni, stop interfering. Bhabhi would consider the best for Arjun", Anav told Roshni who nodded her head taking a few steps back.

"You all need to control yourself. Let the kids make the decision", Aayat spoke looking at Rehan.

"They are pressurizing Tara's family", Rehan spoke looking at Shraddha with his experienced eyes.

"Papa, in these years, first time Arjun asked for something and I would do anything in this world to give him that", Shraddha spoke stubbornly.

"She is not an object, Shraddha", Aayat spoke in a sharp voice making Shraddha look down.

"She is somebody's daughter as well who is too young for handling Arjun's anger", Aayat spoke angrily.

"I am very well aware of the threats Tara is getting from Arjun and you also started doing the same", Rehan spoke shaking his head.

"Do whatever you want but remember if in future things got worse between them, you would be responsible for that", Rehan said before moving out of the room.

---------------------------

They went for shopping Tara's engagement dress which was to be bought by Arjun's family but still, they wanted her to choose the dress.

"You are going to be our Bhabhi", Kinshuk teased her but she didn't give a reaction. Arjun was not with them as he was busy attending an important meeting.

"Tara Bhabhi", Kenit teased again as Tara gave him a blank face.

"World is so small, right Kenit? Our best friend is going to marry our beloved brother", Kinshuk spoke as Tara finally found a dress suitable to her taste. She started checking out the lehenga carefully while Kenit and Kinshuk went out muttering something about them being hungry.

She felt breathing on her neck which made her still.

"The blouse is too low cut", she heard making her jump nearly falling behind when he held her elbow saving her from the fall. 

"Why are you always so jumpy around me?", he asked with curiosity taking the dress from her.

"And it's backless as well. I don't like it", he stated taking the dress away from her.

"We can customize the piece, sir", one of the saleswomen came to him as he stared at his to-be-wife silently.

"Do you really like it that much?", he asked observing her reaction.

"I am fine with anything you like", she spoke softly as he nodded keeping the dress back in its place.

"I got something designed for you. Try it once and see if it looks good on you", he spoke leaving space for her to enter the trial room. 

Tara was aware of the fact that denying him meant trouble in her family so she did what was asked by him silently following his orders.

---------------------------

She met her in-laws silently taking their blessings. 

She was fine with every single thing but his touches made her feel weird. Something weird in her stomach. Her skin would start tingling where he would touch. She would start shivering whenever he comes extra closer to her. She was not ready for these changes. She thought leaving the store. 

Her family was still inside but she was hungry and didn't want a second company with her. She felt like she was being a bad person thinking like that but she was feeling suffocated being there.

She was having no idea how she was going to live her whole life like this. He would touch her suddenly enjoying her discomfort. She hated how much control he had over her.

He was just somebody who was pulling her to the darkness of the world which she was unknown of.

---------------------------

"Pack your bags", he ordered coming inside the room looking at his newlywed wife who was looking at something in her phone. His sudden statement made her jump.

"Ji?", she asked as he stared at his wife with a blank face. How can somebody be so stupid and innocent at the same time?

"We are leaving. I guess you didn't start your unpacking till now. Get whatever clothes you took out from your bag", he said which made her think for a second. 

Was he throwing her out of his life because she wasn't letting him touch her? But it was because nobody touched her before this and she was scared.

She already felt weird when he kissed her. She was not ready for something more. But was it something which made him think of leaving her? What will she tell her mother if she asks why did he leave her daughter?

Her eyes started clouding with tears as she thought about all the worst possibilities.

She sniffed softly before rubbing her nose to find him speaking to somebody on call. 

She thought twice before wrapping her arms around his waist from behind crying on his back.

He froze on his place feeling the delicate arms around her and the sudden weight on his back. Soon her sobs reached his ears which made him frown as he turned to see what actually happened.

He cupped her face as she sobbed loudly looking down.

"Please... I am sorry... I just am so uncomfortable with a male touch but I'll try. Nobody touched me like this before. I am still trying to get comfortable with your small touches but I will try. I swear I will. I won't push you away anymore, please don't leave me", she cried as fat tears leaked out of her eyes.

He tried to understand why she was behaving like this when he realized what was going on in her little brain. How can somebody be this adorable? He wondered.

He was ready to correct when another devilish thought came into his mind. If she would not try, she would never get comfortable around her. If she continued running away from his touch, they could never become one.

"You promise you'll behave", he asked in a harsher tone making her sob harder as she nodded her head. Her hair strands jumped around on her cheeks.

"I promise...", she sobbed knowing well he always wants an answer in words.

"Good wife", he complimented her wiping her tears as she sniffed looking down.

"Pack your bags", he said. She was about to cry again when he placed a finger on her lips.

"We both are leaving", he stated making her frown. Her still wet eyes narrowed at the ground trying to understand what he meant.

 "We are getting shifted to my mansion", he stated as she opened her mouth to speak but came up with nothing.

"You wanna say something?", he asked.

"But everyone in this family stays together", she asked as he came closer to her. She was about to take a few steps back when she realized what happened a moment ago and stood on her ground.

He nuzzled his face in her neck making her hands shiver. He did notice is as he interlinked their hands together.

"But we need more privacy", he said as she continued with a frown not knowing what he meant.

"I don't think I can keep my hands to myself when you are around me. I don't want to embarrass you because I don't really care", he stated the second reason why he chose to leave.

"But Mummy Ji would feel sad", Tara stated when she felt a hard grip on her jaw as he forced her to look at him.

"Stop calling her your mother. She is nobody to me", he said angrily as she stared at him in shock.

"But she is your mother. She showed me your childhood pictures", she spoke and he sighed before placing his lips on hers taking her aback. He finally found somebody who could calm his anger whenever he thought about the woman people know as his mother. This was the reason why he wanted to shift in his mansion. His so-called mother would try to sweet talk his wife which he didn't want.

He wrapped one hand around her neck pulling her more into himself while his other hand continued rubbing her back calmingly.

He pulled back after a long while she continued keeping her eyes closed.

"Guess what? I found my favorite dessert", he stated making her slowly open her eyes not getting what he meant.

"Go pack your bags before I do something else with you", he said and she immediately ran in the closet to get her clothes scared of his wild side.

------------------------------------------------------

This is it for Arjun and Tara's story. I got multiple requests for their story. So I would like to make something clear. I do want to write their story because after Dark Souls I want a new story but another thing is that I have my classes now.

I don't really have time to prepare the book cover. If anybody can prepare a book cover for this story, I would be very thankful guys.

But I would start this story only when everybody wants that. If you want me to end the Khurana family book series I'll do it without any delay. So it's solely on you guys.

If I got a proper response then the next book after Dark Souls would be of Arjun and Tara and it is going to be a dark romance so....

Till Next Time...

Tell me your views about the new couple.

I know now people will say that Tara's character is very weak but again she is very young and had always seen loving people around her. She is the type of person who only knows the white side of the world.
