Hey guysss...
Thanku for your votes and comments 😘.

Bala's POV :

Bzzzzz...

My phone vibrated and I took it to see a message flashing on the screen.

It's from krit- kat!

I clicked on the message to see pics of Sne posing with mehandi in her hands in different styles.

I looked at her smiling face and I couldn't help but think of the day when this news broke to her!!

That day, I'm sure Sneha will kill me once she finds out what our parents are upto....

To say I'm happy for their decision is an understatement!!!

I'm literally flying on the moon and at the same time I want to 'escape' this city... no no not from the city but from the whole planet because I don't think I can handle her wrath!!

At present I'm taking her to the hospital in my car.

She asked me a number of times where we are going and what happened, but I couldn't answer her.

Finally we reached the hospital but I'm literally shaking.

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked.

I don't think I can give the correct reason but I can atleast soften the blow she is going to receive.

"Sne, listen to me carefully. There will be times in our lives where we do not have any option but to accept our fate. Even though it is heart breaking and disappointing we must accept it," saying that I paused for sometime and continued --

"Even I was shocked to the core when Aunty called me and said the news. My sincere advise to you is to be strong and get ready to hear any news. But always remember that I'm with you." I gave her a weak smile and went out.

Sne came out with worry written all over her face. She is about to ask me something when Aunty came out.

She rushed to her mom and hugged her tightly.

"Mom please don't cry. Dad will be alright,I will even fight with God if I have to. Trust me, everything will be alright.. "

What is she talking about??

Aunty released her from the hug and asked her with a deep frown which resembles mine "what happened to your dad?"

"Mom, don't try to hide it from me. I know everything. Bala didn't tell completely but I can connect the dots. I know something is wrong with dad's health!!" she told her mom.

Ooh!!!
She took my words in a completely different way..
Shit!!!

I'm in an even big trouble now. My mind reminded me of the punch she gave me yesterday.

I gulped with fear.

Uncle came from behind carrying a bag of medicines.

"What is happening Bala?" He asked me.

"See for yourself uncle."

He walked to them.
After a few explanations and Sneha's shouts everything got settled.

Sne gave me a hard look, grabbed car keys from uncle and walked to the car.

"You didn't tell her?" Aunty asked me.

"No Aunty, I'm just worried how she'll take the news. I think its better if you talk with her. I'll come home in an hour, I have some work. Meanwhile you...." I trailed off.

"Ok Bala," she smiled and left with uncle and Sne. They are going to my house and will discuss the matter there.

That's the plan, I was supposed to be present but I'm just afraid.

After completing my work I went to my house only to see our family laughing and chit chatting like long last friends.

But Where is she?

As if reading my mind my mom answered -- " She is in the balcony. Why don't you go and join her? "

I nodded and slowly made my way to the balcony.

My steps are filled with uncertainty.

As soon as my eyes caught the sight of Sne leaning on the railing in the balcony, adrenaline pumped in my body.

I slowly called out her name, I doubt whether she heard it or not!

An internal conflict already started in between the fight and flight reaction in my body.

But the flight reaction won because of the look Sne gave me.

I turned away to leave!!

"Don't you dare move even an inch!" she warned me.

I turned to her when she motioned me to come near with her finger.

"It's all your plan, isn't it?" She asked.

"What plan are you talking about? If you are talking about my mobile data plan, I only changed it to Jio recently. But why are you askin...." I mumbled incoherently.

"Don't play smart with me because I'm smarter. I know it was all your plan, yesterday your looks, you calling me baby, trying to fight for me, I'm sure it was your silly brain's proposal!!" she completed fisting her palms.

So she recognized my looks? Atleast she got an idea that I like her.

Suddenly my flight mode changed to fight.

I must tell her what I feel, it is now or never. As the matter came this far it is best for me if I revealed everything.

"Sne, it's true that I have feelings for you. Not from yesterday or a month, but since we were young. You neither recognized my feelings nor you looked at me in that way. "

"I didn't try to express my feelings for you because I know your opinion about relationship and I don't want to crash whatever little impression you had on me."

"Not only that I'm.....I'm kind of afraid because you are a champion in marshal arts."

"And I have nothing to do with this marriage, your mom saw the feelings I have for you in my eyes which ofcourse you never recognized and she talked with my mom."

"As both our families are close and your parents want you to be married happily they decided this way."

"I came to know about this today evening ,when Aunty showed up in the hospital, even my parents didn't tell me."

"That was what I'm trying to explain you in the car, not about your father's health!!"

"It's your wish Sneha. Whatever you decide, I'm always with you. If you don't want this, we can always be friends like before. We can forget that this day ever happened in our lives."

"But Sne one day or the other you need to marry if not for you, for your parent's happiness!"

"If you give me a chance, I'll definitely try to make you happy with my whole heart!! "

"My parents love you and I will do anything to change your impression on Men and Marriage. Just give me a chance to prove!!"

I don't know whether I'm explaining her or literally begging her?!!!

She looked at me for sometime and rubbed her temples 'Am I that bad in talking? I'm doubting myself. All my hopes went in the drain.'

"You are right Bala. One day or the other I need to marry, and it's better if I marry someone I know rather than a complete stranger." My hopes raised and I looked at her grinning.

"Just don't overreact, I didn't say yes to you. I'm just saying it's better. I'll give you 10 days, try to impress me. If you fail, you'll lose me for this lifetime. I'll see some other person or I'll become a nun, " she said bluntly.

Just 10 days? If not, someone?? She is determined to become a nun too!!

I looked at her open mouthed.

"Close your stinky mouth, even flies don't dare to enter it!!" she said and went away.

What the fish!!!!

We informed our deal to our parents and they agreed to it with a hope that Sne will say yes.

Sneha's family left our house and my dad lost his hopes because he was 100% sure that I can't impress her.

Whereas my mom gave different ideas to impress her. My mom even confessed that she always wanted Sne to be her DIL but never expressed her feelings.

Like mother, like son I thought.

She warned me that if I didn't impress Sne, she is going to kick me out of the house!!

I couldn't sleep that night.

Half due to excitement that Sne gave me a chance to prove myself, half due to the fear that I may fail and lose her forever.

Nine days literally passed away like a wind. But nothing changed, I tried my best to impress her, we went for dinners, dates I gave her daily flowers, chocolates but nothing impressed her.

I even kept leave for a week and stayed the whole day with her and tagged along to wherever she want to go.

Last day arrived, I thought of taking a leave but my HOD didn't accept.

I begged him kneeling but he said no because a couple in our department recently got married and there is shortage of staff.

Sne called today morning and said -- " Nine days have passed Bala but I am still not impressed. I'm gonna decide this day itself, depending on your behavior," and she disconnected immediately.

I'm really scared!!

We planned for a dinner,so I went to hospital and completed all my work.

My mom is really worried and wished me all the best. She warned me not to make any mistake.

Then I refreshed and bought some white lillies which are Sne's favourite.

I picked her up from her home. She is wearing a red long sleeveless dress with a deep neck, teasingly showing her cleavage.

She tied her hair up leaving some tendrils to fall, enhancing her beauty.

There is no doubt that she looked quite gorgeous!!!

I drove to my favourite restaurant and took a dark corner seat so that no one can interfere our privacy.

We talked for a while about our day. Then I got a call that there is a serious case of a child having cardio vascular problem.

As our staff is low and they want someone to assist they called me.

"Sne, there is an emergency at the hospital. I have to go immediately. I don't have time to drop you now. Will you go by yourself or come to hospital with me?" I asked her.

I didn't care that today is the last day of my trial and is the only day I have in my hand because I know she'll understand me.

"What are you talking? You'll leave me here on our date? I already told you today is your last day. Will you leave me like this even when I married to you and became your wife?
Decide Bala either it's me or your work!!!" She said stubbornly.

I didn't expect this from her.

"I'm sorry Sneha. I can't let a kid die because of my selfishness. I don't think I could have a bright future because my happiness lies with you, which I doubt you would give me. At least I can give him a bright future. Bye Sneha!! His life values more than my love. This is my profession which I value more than my life!!! " With that I left the place.

Thank god we managed to save the child. His parents thanked us wholeheartedly with happy tears flowing freely from their eyes.

I felt that my pain is very much less compared to the pain they are going through!!

At least I can live with this happiness....

I told my parents it's a 'NO'.
They just advised me to move on.

But one day a miracle happened in my life. It changed my life in a way I would have never thought. Just thinking about it a smile appeared on my face.

I was brought back to the present because of the bickering between my friends.

I shook my head, still with a goofy smile on my face and joined my friends to know what they are bickering about...

Krithi's POV :

"Why?? Are you a gay or what?"

These words are resonating in the silent room.....

I closed my mouth with my palm at the sudden slip of words.

I secretly hoped that he didn't hear the words that slipped accidentally from my mouth!!

I saw him glaring at me.

I'm dead!!!

But my thought is reasonable as he behaved like one!!

I wonder can any man have so much self control!!!

I mean I'm a Doctor and I know Androgens are responsible for a man's masculinity.

Doesn't he have any Androgens?!!

"What did you say?" He asked somewhat calmly but I can clearly hear the dangerous undertone.

I really gained my courage to spell the words again!

"ARE.YOU.A GAY?" I repeated my question raising my brow.

"What makes you think so?" He asked me crossing his hands.

"I mean, c'mon, I'm trying to seduce you since one month and here I'm literally standing in front of you half naked but you did nothing?"

"A man can never have so much control that too here I'm your wife and I'm willingly trying hard for you!! "

"But you never even gave a look at me!!! I surrendered my modesty to my Self esteem but couldn't win."
I closed my eyes feeling so low.

"So I'm starting to doubt that you may be ga.." I couldn't complete my sentence as he crashed his lips over mine holding the back of my neck in a tight grip.

His kiss is so demanding unlike the previous one. I'm so into the kiss till I became breathless.

I'm fighting him at the lack of oxygen but he still didn't loosened his grip and as I thought I'm about to faint he left me and smirked at me.

I looked at him angrily still panting for breath by placing my hand on my chest.

I didn't even completely fill my lungs with oxygen, he took hold of my bare waist and pulled me closer.

"I will clear your doubt today! If you have any doubt in between ask me without any hesitation." And smirked with an evil grin.

I resisted his move by shaking my head as no.

His evil grin widened!!

He pulled me much closer this time and started kissing me again which moved from my lips to my neck and in between he pinched the curve of my bare waist.

I hissed at his act and tried to remove his hand but he gripped my hand and extended it above my head.

His look suddenly went to my neck. "You still wear this chain haan?!" he trailed his finger along the length of the chain he gifted me.

Then he replaced his fingers with his lips touching my skin sensually.

I'm resisting his actions by bending my neck so he caught my hair with his hand and smelled the flowers in my hair deeply.

"The flowers in your hair are quite intoxicating!!They are driving me crazy!"

"You asked me about your looks right... You look quite beautiful in haldi and now you look quite sexy!! I must say you actually succeeded in your attempts of tempting me. Now it's turn to award you for your beautiful attempts.. !!"

"What are you talking Hruday?" I asked almost in a whisper.

I'm almost in a daze that whether I heard him clearly or not!!

Can't he tell in a polite way when I asked him!!! Why he has to choose this way...

"I'm saying that I will clear your misconception tonight!!!" with that he bite my neck hard.

"Hrudayyy!! What are you doing?" He lessened the pain by placing few kisses over the place where he had bitten.

If my flowers are driving him crazy then his actions are driving me crazy.

I tried to pull his head away from my neck by gripping his hair tightly with my free hand.

"Aarghh!!!" He screamed in pain.

Hihi. Take this Hruday!

I should make you understand that you can't do whatever you want with me in the way you want!!!

I mentally patted myself at my idea and pulled much harder but he gripped my hand tightly making me to loose his hair.

He pinned both my hands above my head and came closer to my face.

I closed my eyes tightly suddenly feeling completely exposed by the look in his eyes.

He kissed me again but I didn't kiss him back. He smiled against my lips and I wonder what he is planning in his evil mind.

His hand went to the hooks on the back side of my blouse and I started wriggling in his grip.

This is going somewhere!!!
I have to stop it!!!

He already removed first hook and I started panicking as hell!!

I have done the only option I have! I bit his lower lip and he immediately loosened his grip on my wrists.

I took it as a chance and made my way to escape. I did not even go as far as two steps when he stopped me catching my waist backwards.

"My doubt is clarified. Thank You, Hruday for your clarification!!" I whispered still a bit breathless.

In the process of checking his Androgen functions my hormones are activating wildly and I'm loosing control on myself.

Hruday whispered in my ear from behind -- "My explanation is not at all completed!!"

He inhaled my scent again and started caressing my stomach!

My legs are weakening and I can't handle this new touches at new places!!

My mind started to think for an excuse but how can I when more than half of my brain is concentrated on his actions.

From the corner of my brain which is still functioning, I got an idea.

"Hruday listen to me for once, then do whatever you want. I won't resist you or object you!!" I told him while framing my plan.

"What is it?" He asked snuggling is head more into my neck.

"I didn't get a chance to do this since I, I...." I stammered because he started nibbling the sensitive part near my ear.

"Spill it out baby, cat caught your tongue or what?!" He said huskily.

Ok krithi, spill it out!!!!

"Hruday!!!! I need.... "
