Ron's POV
Flashback...

I went to Ruhan and asked him how did he get them. He said that she gave them to me after the party at their place, but it escaped my mind and they were in my car. 

So she wanted to give me all of this.

But why would she do that after the party as she was very upset?

" Ruhan, you are hiding something, "

" No, why would I do that?? "

" But why did she give it to him after that night? I told her I had no feelings for her... she could have thrown them after the way I behaved with her, I can't seem to understand how she gave them to you. "  I said. He kept thinking for some time.

" Okay, fine!!  She didn't give them to me. "

" Then how did you get them? Tell me everything. " I said.

" I can't, Bhai, she was very upset and hurt. She didn't even want to talk about it, but I got them and gave them to you as you have a right to know,"  he said.

" Thank you so much, Ruhan, but please tell me... " I hugged him and said.

" No!! Please don't ask me. I can't betray her. I already betrayed her by giving all these to you. "  He said.

"  But if she didn't give them to you, how did you come to know about them, who gave them to you? " I asked.

" Enough!! Bhai, I told you what I could. Don't ask me anything else, I will not say another word. I promised her. "

Somehow, I had a feeling that he was hiding something important. But I knew he would not tell me at least not at the moment.

******

Finally, I decided to concentrate on my studies and career and I topped the MBA exam. Everyone was surprised that I topped and got even more marks than Raj. Who was very serious about the studies. But Raj was very happy for me just like anyone else.

I remained steadfast in my commitment to staying away from Mahi, even as my love for her continued to burn within me. I focused on my own personal growth, striving to become the man I knew Mahi's family wanted me to be.

During this period of separation, I engaged in self-reflection, cultivating qualities of responsibility, loyalty, and integrity. I wanted to present myself as someone deserving of Mahi's love and trust when the time was right.

********

After about 3 years I was pleasantly surprised to see her at the new year's party.

Was I hallucinating??

No! She looked real. I kept looking at her for I don't know how long, my eyes were getting filled with tears.

She was wearing a white gown and looked like an angel. She was back??

But When??

I was so happy to see her but she didn't even look at me. I had read every single letter and every page of the diary and knew how much she loved me, all I had to tell her was that I loved her too, with the same intensity. I went toward her but she excused herself from the group and went to join Mihir and stayed with his group. She was talking to Vihaan, Roohi and Gauravi.

Hell, why was she not even looking at me??

Mihir asked Gauravi to dance with her and they joined the floor and Vihaan was standing there with Roohi and Mahi.

Idiot !! He was talking to both the girls and flashing his smiles at both of them. I didn't want both of them to even look at him. He changed the girls like disposable crockery... Use and throw.

I don't know why Roohi liked him so much, I knew that Mihir was not bad though he has always been angry with me.

I went to them to ask Mahi for a dance and glared at Roohi, reminding her not to be alone with him.

" Excuse me, may I have this dance with you, Mahi? " I asked. She didn't even turn to look at me and caught Vihan's hand and went to the dance floor saying, " Let's go and dance, Vihan. "

What was that??

" What the hell?? " I said and looked at Roohi. Even she looked upset.

Almost jealous... She liked Vihan??

No!!! I will beat him to a pulp. I looked at Mahi dancing with him, he said something and she was smiling at Vihan shyly.

Why?

Was she still angry with me for what I did at that party at their place three years ago?

Oh, my love, please forgive me for that. I promise,  now I am not going to back out because of your dad or any of your brothers.

I love you and you are mine.

Though I tried to talk to her but could not get a chance, I even saw her dancing with Sahaj, Mohak, and Ruhan. But she didn't even look at me as if I was absolutely invisible or she had forgotten about me.

It hurt me to see her ignoring me like that when I spent every hour of each day of the last three years thinking about her, missing her.

I was looking for a chance to go and talk to her, but just then, I got a phone call from some old client for an urgent order, I took the call and made the arrangements for the instant dispatch of the order. When I was free,  I looked for her but could not find her, Just then I  saw them coming in with Saanjh. They both looked very tense and scared. I rushed to them and asked what happened.

Mahi didn't reply to me and went to talk to Shaurya and Viren. Saanjh told me that someone was kidnapping a girl and Manik had gone to stop them

Shit!!!  He was alone against those goons. They might be carrying some weapons. I told Saanjh to contact Sujal and security.  I called them.

Shaurya and Viren were as shocked as me and we all ran to help Manik.

We found him but he had already tackled the situation well. We helped him to save the girl and once security caught all those goons, we came back to join others. Shaurya went in and told Mihir and the group to go and check the girl as they all were doctors.

Mahi looked tensed I went to her and told her that Manik saved the girl and he was also right. She just nodded and turned to go but I came to stand in front of her.

" Hey,  Mahi, how are you? "

" Good, thank you," she said looking away.

" When did you come back?"

" Last week. "

" Why didn't you tell me?? "

" Why do you think that I would have done that? "

" Isn't it obvious? "

" No!! Nothing is obvious. "

" Mahi... "

" Excuse me... I have to go. "

"  Where? "

" Anywhere, but away from you," she said bluntly.

" What? Why? "

"  Because I am not interested in you." She said. And I smiled at her tantrum. She was so cute, and hot and sexy at the same time. I was shocked to see how she had acquired the very desirable curves and yet she had the very toned and perfect body. And she was mine.

"   But I am still very much interested in you. "

" Oh, come on, Mr Kapoor, you say that to every girl but you need to understand that you can't get everything you want. Now please, don't waste your time, as it is you are too old for me, I am just a child as compared to you. I am more interested in guys closer to my age now. They are more enthusiastic, excited, and responsive as compared to the older men. " she said and went to join the youngest group including  Saanjh, Sahaj, Mohak, and Ruhan. While I kept standing there.

******

We all went to Surat to surprise Manik, I  was happy that she was going with us, I thought that I would get a chance to clear all the misunderstandings but she remained aloof as far as I was concerned. I saw her crying, exactly at the spot where I had saved her from falling, as soon as she reached their haveli. I went to ask her but she rushed away.

For the whole time we were there, she avoided me like the plague and enjoyed with Roshni, Saanjh, and Sahaj.

I hated to see her so comfortable with Sahaj. Thank God he was flirting with Roshni and not my Mahi or I would have beaten him to a pulp. Ruhan had not joined us on this trip. I tried talking to her but didn't get a chance there as everyone was there.

My heart skipped when she wore swimwear at the waterpark. It was stylish but modest, thank God that she had not put on anything like Myra or I would have had a heart attack... or may have killed all the men for ogling her. God!!  She had perfect curves at the right places and was not a child anymore, but a sexy young girl. I yearned to have her in my arms and hide her from any prying eyes. She belonged to me ever since the day when I saved her.

She was angry with me and I needed to make her recall, how much she loved me and make her believe that I loved her and only her. She may have fallen for me earlier than me, but I fell harder in love.

Good morning friends ❤️

Here is my today's chapter I hope you liked it please let me know.

This was the last flashback chapter. Now we have new ones.

Please vote, comment, share and follow.

Guys please try, forbidden desires, it will be different from the original one. You can read the initial chapters. If course, it is the same story but characters of the protagonists are different. Situations are also different.

My new exclusive book will also come on mytopia/ Readamo/ letterlux. They gave 7 sister apps so you can read them on all of them.

It will be the new book which I had started writing keeping Viren and Suhana in mind but then converted it in the western settings as only the hero's dad ( Viraj), Sujal and Sanya had a role in it.

You would all have not liked it if sahil was not a part of the book of his own daughter. And Viren could not get away after doing all that to sahil's daughter.

So I changed it to an exclusive western book,  it is almost  completed and will come in the end of October. I swear, I have never written a book like that. It was so interesting that I could not help finishing it. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing.

Take care of yourself and have a great day.

Thanks
Chhavi.
