Dhruv's point of view

I fucked up things.

I made her angry.

How could I asked her, If she loves Raghav after making out with her in this bathroom I am standing right now, under the same shower. Raghav once said that he like Aditi and want her to meet his parents for marriage. But Aditi also told me that he think Raghav as her brother but she told me that years ago. Now things changed. But I should say that. I was so upset, irritated, jealous and angry that I could not control what I was asking.

How could I be such stupid to ask her after asking her how she could love me so much. Though she didn't say anything but she didn't correct me.

I may be wrong but my heart was telling me that she still likes me maybe not liking she is in love with me. This though scares me but excited me at the same time. Yes I like her and want her to be with me all the time but I am not sure that I am in love with her.

Cold water was pouring on my naked body. I turn my face to the shower and run my fingers in my wet hair. I closed my eyes and the memories of yesterday, started playing inside my mind. How I was holding her delicate body close to me and kissing her fragile, smooth skin. My lips were working on her neck and the hard suck I gave her on her clevage. When she moaned my name, I swear to god my name never heard so beautiful to me. I wanted to kiss her lips and wanted to know how they taste.

"Uuugghhhh..." I groaned and punched the wall when I find myself hard again. Since the day I kissed her, I get turn on easily, especially when she is with me. I never feel such desire before. I no more have any control on my desires. and I fucking don't know how to control them. I normally don't have dreams or nightmares often but last night I kissed on her lips on my dream, the feeling was so real that I could feel her lips between mine when I woke up in the morning.

I turn off the shower, wrap the towel around me and came to my bedroom. When I looked at my house, it feels more lively only because of her. I took out my formal suit and changed into it and then went to office after car came to pick me.

*****

Yesterday was Sunday, another day went without seeing her and meeting her. I hate who made Sunday. I came yesterday, and waited for her to come outside or at roof at least so I could see her but she didn't come.

Again today I am waiting for her on the same isolated road where I drop her that day. I bring roses for her to apologise her for my behavior. I don't know which flowers she likes So I bring red roses for her.

Beautiful roses for the most beautiful girl. She is like these roses soft and beautiful. Her cheeks turned into red like these roses when I was around but she ok out all blame to the sun. I grin at my thoughts while thinking about her.

My bodyguards looks impatient. They want me to move my ass early but I am waiting for my girl.

It's already an hour I am standing here waiting for her but there is no sign of her. At the end I decided to go office and come back here later in evening.

When I came to office, I was expecting her to be here but she was not here also. Shastri ji first gave me weird look but then smile when he noticed red roses in my hand.

I don't what makes him smile but I ignore him. I sit behind on my chair behind the large table and asked him.

"Where is Aditi?" I asked while opening the file beside me.

"I don't know. She doesn't come office yet." He said.

She did not come office? I thought she must left her house for office before I could come to pick her up. But she is not here also. Should I go to her house to check on her? I didn't see any of her family members when I went to her house yesterday.

I nodded my head and gestured Shastri ji to continue his work.

My phone started ringing and it was Raghav.

"Hey, Do you know the best jeweller in Lucknow?" That was the first question he asked me.

"I don't know. Google it. Why do you need that anyway?" I aksed in confusion.

He first laughed and then said, "I need to buy a ring for my future wife."

I knitted my eyebrows in confusion and said, "Where did you get the girl that soon?"

"I didn't but I am going to by the way Can you give Aditi half day leave, She is with me. I am taking her to my home to meet my parents." I stood up in haste and my chair fell behind me when I heard what he said.

"Aditi is with you?" I asked.

"Yes, I pick her from her house this morning. No, one is at her home. Her family went away in holiday. Now will you give half day leave to Aditi." He asked and my heart was beating fastwr to think that he is making meet Aditi to his parents. His mom already searching bride for Raghav, she would like Aditi in first meeting, Raghav also like her.

"Fuck No...." I cut the call, pick the flowers I bought for her, snatched key from the drive and drove towards Raghav's house.

I am not gonna let her marry to Raghav. She is mine and only mine.

*****

When I reached Raghav's house, I heard giggling of his mom and Dad and when I entered the living room, everyone were laughing and talking. Aditi was sitting in middle of Raghav's parents and Raghav was sitting on separate couch.

"I was waiting for you." Raghav was the first one who noticed me and it make others to look into my direction.

What..?

Why he us waiting for me?

Everyone has a smile on their faces except Aditi. She looked at me for mere second, then looked down. There were no expressions on her face except the red hue on her cheeks which came automatically when I am around.

"Dhruv...Why are you standing there? Come here and join us." Pradeep uncle, Raghav's father stood from his seat and walked to me.

I met him in half way and touch his feet. He blessed me and asked me to join them. First I touched Sonia aunty's, Raghav's mom feet, and then sit beside Aditi. Aditi shifted a little when I took a sit beside her.

I am not liking this distance between us.

Uncle looked at me in confusion while Raghav has a teasing smile.

Let his parents go away from here, I am going to break his teeth.

"It's been a while you came here Dhruv. Please stay here for lunch." His mother insisted and I accepted her offer.

"Do you know Aditi dear, Dhruv and Raghav's are childhood friend. Even they both cracked the UPSC exam in the same here."

Friends...no way we used be a rivals in school. I used to hate him so much and I am going to kill him if he will marry to Aditi.

"Aditi and I both know each other from childhood. We used to be neighbours in Saharanpur." I said looking at Aditi and when I said neighbour, She looked at me and there were so many emotions and pain in her eyes that it makes you difficult to read them.

"Oh! I didn't know that. You must be meeting her after long time?" Aunty laughed and askef me.

Yes, This one day gap look like a century because when I saw her, here my heart started beating faster that it started getting hurt in my chest.

"Actually mom Aditi doing her internship under Dhruv." Raghav said.

"I came here to pick her. We have a seminar to attend." I said.

"No....no you are not going to take her anywhere before lunch." Uncle ordered to me and I don't leave with any other choice to accept his offer.

"Yes, She is not going anywhere. Raghav always talked about her. Aditi this...Aditi that.... Finally this idiot decided to make me meet her. She is not going anywhere atleast I choose a ting for her." My head snapped to aunty when she mentioned ring.

"Whh...what...? Ring....?" First time I feel my heart was beating faster and stammer hearing someone to buy a ring.

"Yes, Raghav, his father and I finalized some ring for Aditi. See...." Aunty forward a booklet of very famous jwellery brand and asked me to choose a ring for her. I looked at Raghav and he was bitting his lips, suppressing his laugh.

"Aunty please, I don't want a ring." Aditi resist.

Good..she also doesn't want to marry that idiot.

"No, I don't want to hear anything...and what is this calling me aunty. Call me mom or mummy." Raghav's mom insists.

I looked at Aditi, She looked at me for a second and then looked down while tucking a loose strand behind her ear.

"Raghav, can I have few words with you." I said through my greeted teeth while looking at Raghav.

"I think we should have lunch first." He said with same mischievous glint, testing my patience.

"No, I think we should talk right now before it gets too late." I again said seething in anger but controlled it for his parents sake.

"Okay you guys talk till then I prepared the lunch." Aunty got up from her chair. Uncle also get call from someone and he went away to attend the call.

"Aunty, Let me help you in kitchen." Aditi also get up to help aunty. Aunty first rolled her eyes but later gave her a warm smile and then nodded her head. Not once Aditi looked at my side and it pains me.

I made her angry and I know a simple sorry not going to fix her mood.

Raghav and I also got up from our seats and he guided us to the backyard. He has the bunglow which states government provided him so his house was full if luxury and home staff for 24×7.

"What the fuck was going inside?" As doon as we reach the backyard, I tackled Raghav to the ground and hold him by his collar.

"What the hell...you are beating me in my own house. I am fucking IPS officer." He shouted while holding my both hands to remove my grip on his collar.

"...and I am an IAS officer. You could not mess with me." I said while tightening ny grip on his collar.

"But will you tell me what I did?" He asked trying to get up from the floor but again I didn't let him.

"You are asking me what I did? You and your parents selecting a ring for Aditi. Are you seriously going to marry her?" I asked but as soon I complete the sentence he started laughing maniacally while holding his stomach. I looked at him in confusion when he was laughing.

"Oh! my god give me break." He keep laughing and I keep looking at him in confusion like a fool.

He stopped laughing and put his both hands under his head popping out his biceps showing off his work out in gym.

"So what, if I did. I like her, my parents like her. What's wrong if we get marry. Mom already selected a ring for her." He had a smirk on his face and amusement in his eyes.

I grip his collar again in anger and looked at him with rage.

"Say this again and I will fucking kill you the next moment." I said through my greeted teeth and I meant every word. But in next moment I found myself in ground and now Raghav was holding my collar.

"Why do you care? You don't like her."
He asked me with same rage.

I hold him by his neck and got uo from the floor. I pushed him to the near wall while holding hid neck while he hold my arm to loosen my grip. I leaned to his face and said with a rage, " I like her. She is only mine and I can go to any extent to make her mine. So you fucking stay away from her." I said every word slowly but fill with rage so he could understand what I mean.

I don't fucking care if he likes her not. My beautiful neighbour is only mine and I fucking like her so much. I could not let go the only source of light in my darkness.

But instead of getting angry he started laughing again and I loose my grip on his neck like a fool. He jerked my hands away from him and walked little further to continue his laugh.

He must get shock that he is not going to marry Aditi. This is the only reason I can see his maniac laugh. He turns to my side and smirk.

"Do you finally accept that you like Aditi?" He asked with smirk.

Fuck....I don't want him to know that. Now he is going to tease me endless.

"What do you mean..?" I fixed my shirt and looked here and there to avoid his gaze.

"You just accepted that you like her." He again went to the question.

"I didn't say that. You must hear wrong." I said pretending to be normal.

"Oh! Is that so. I thought you said you like her. I should go and tell mom to fix our engagement next week." He shrugged his shoulders and started to walking inside but I stopped him coming in front of him.

"Okay..fine I accepted I like Aditi." I accepted.

"...you like her as in." He insisted me to say completely. I sigh and closed my eyes.

"I feel something romantic for her." I said while closing my eyes and when I opened my eyes Raghav has a smile on his face, not a smirk but a genuine smile.

"Thank god you accepted you love her." He said dramatically.

"I didn't say I love her. I only like her."
I corrected him.

"It's enough for now." He rolled his eyes but I ignore him.

"Now will you please tell your mom to stop pairing both of you and stop buying a ring for her." I insisted. He started laughing again and this time I really wanted to beat him.

"Do you really think mom was buying a ring for Aditi for our engagement?" He asked between his laugh.

"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.

"Mom knows that I think Aditi as my little sister. She was buying a ring for her out of love because she thinks Aditi as her daughter that's why she wants Aditi to call her mom not aunty." He explained and my mouth open in oh.

Suddenly a guilt again crawled inside me and what I said to her started eating me from inside.

"By the way, Aditi looked upset today. Is something happen between you two?" He asked.

"Nothing..." I steal my eyes from him.

"What did you do?" He asked sternely like a possesive brother and I don't have a choice to tell him the truth.

"I took Aditi my home after party. We talked, eat food and......"

"...and..?" He waited for me to continue. I looked on the other side to hide my gaze from him because next what I am going to say could earn me a punch from the possesive brother.

"We made out in my bathroom under the shower. She pushed me away and I told her something which made her mad on me." I leave the part what I said to her to made ger angry but Raghav is smart.

"What did you say to her?" I can hear the possesive brother.

"I asked her if she loves you." As I completed the sentence a strong punch landed on my right cheek. He hold my collar and made me looked at him.

"Yes, She loves me but as a brother. She never thinks about me more than a friend or brother. She only think that way only one person in her life and that person was.... " He has a rage of elder and possesive brother in his eyes but what caught my attention was the last sentence he said.

"What do you mean?" I asked. I know Aditi used to like me. I asked if she loves me but she didn't say anything. I don't want to assume anything until she accepted by herself that she still likes me. I wanted to hear from her that she still likes me or more that than ehat I asked her before leaving the party.

"You don't deserve to know." He leave my collar and about to leave.

"I am sorry. I know I should not say that. She is mad at me now you don't get angry. Help me to pacify her." I requested him.

"You created this mess yourself so you clean it up by your own and don't fucking talk to me until she forgive you." He glared at me.

"But you should atleast...."

"Raghav, Dhruv...." Before I could complete my sentence I heard the same angelic voice which made me feel alive again.

We both turn to her direction. She was standing near the door jamb. Our eyes met but before I could hold her gaze she averted her eyes from me to Raghav.

"Lunch is ready, Aunty is calling you." She informed us.

"I leave both of you for a minute here. Do something to pacify her. This is the least I can do for you as friend, otherwise as brother I want break your nose." After saying this he leave.

After him Aditi was about to walked out when I took a long strids and hold her hand to stop her with me. I took her to the one corner where no one could see us and pinned her to the wall.

"Dhruv what are doing? Chodiye hume... (leave me.)" She wiggled in my arms but her delicate body was under mine could not do much. I leaned to her face and pressed my lips on her right cheek making her moments stop under my arms. Her face turned on the other side and I make more pressure with my lios to her cheeks that she could not move her face.

"Still angry with me?" I asked while biting her soft cheek lightly.

"Kaise na ho. Dil dukhaya hai aapne humara." She looked at me and tears streamed out from her red eyes.

(Why wouldn't I. You hurt me.)

I tangled her hair in my fingers and make our lips in same level. I leaned to her lips but stop only inch away. If we move our lips could touch. Our closeness making our eyes closed. My other hand was on her waist keeping her delicate body in place while she hold me by my both shoulders.

"Then give me the punishment I deserves but never stop talking to me." She gasped when our lips brushed to each other when I was speaking. I so wanted to capture her lips between mine but I couldn't until she forgive me or get comfortable around me. She digged her nails in my shoulders but I like the feeling. It's not a pain, I feel pleasure, I feel love.

"Dhruv..." She moaned my name and our lips brushed again. They were not properly touch but I can feel the touch of her lips on mine.

I opened my eyes slightly and she was sucking her lower lip while tears were streaming out from her both eyes.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked still closing her eyes. She digged her nails in my shoulders when our lips brushed again while she was speaking and I don't want ger to stop speaking because every time she speaks our lips touched.

"Because you are the only girl I want to kiss." I whispered. Our lips brushed again. This time I leaned more and was about to capture her lips between mine but she opened her eyes and pushed her head back to create a distance between our faces. I saw pain, hurt and something else the painful emotions which could break you from inside.

"Don't say anything, you might regret later." She freed herself from my grip and stood atleast a foot away from me.

"Trust me, I won't regret a thing." I leaned forward to hold her in my hands byt she steps back created a distance between us.

"But you will I know." Tears were not stopping from her eyes and I can see anger were building in her eyes.

"Aditi, I am sorry what I said to you the other day. I myself don't know why did I say that." I apologized to her.

"It's okay..I am used to it. You are not the first one raising your finger on my character. Thank you for reminding me where I belong." She wiped her tears angrily and then run away from there leaving me there standing dumb founded.

*****

When I came to the dinning hall, Aditi was serving the food along with servants. Raghav glared at me when I sit on the empty chair. It's not his fault, anyone could get angry what I did to Aditi. Aditi served me but didn't give a single glance towards me.

"Aditi, you also sit and have lunch with us. Let servants served the rest food." Uncle insisted to her. There is only one chair left which was beside me. She hesitated first but took the chair beside me when she didn't leave any other option.

As she took a sit beside me, I slowly put my right hand on hers and looked at her. Her cheeks immediately turned red and she looked at me with shock. I winked at her to tease her, making her cheeks more red but she jerked my hands away from her. But I am not going to stop here so I put my hand on her left thigh and squeezed it a little to make her jump on her sit. I looked at Raghav and he was glaring at me and then my hand but chose to keep quiet.

She lean to me and said,''Dhruv, ye aap kya ker rhe hai? Apna hath hum per se hutaiye."

(Dhruv what are you doing. Remove your hand.)

"Not until you forgive me." I whispered back in her ear and squeezed her thigh little making her bit her lower lip.

She knows how to seduced me. Just a little and simple act of her and I am turn on like a iron steel.

I know why she said that I am not the first one who raised a finger on her character. Because eight years ago, on Diwali night her family raised their fingers on her character but I didn't ask her in that way. I was hurt, I just ask her in anger I didn't mean anything about her character because I know how my beautiful neighbour is. She is most purest and beautiful girl in the world.

She glared at me and again jerked away my hand from her tigh without replying my question. But I don't give up I again hold her hand and this time I intertwined our fingers, holding her hand tightly and put it on my thigh so she could not jerked my hand away. She keep glaring at me but I didn't look at her and keep eating like nothing happens. She sighed and continue eating from her left hand.

It's almost after lunch time when Aditi and I leave from Raghav's house. Raghav's mother wanted to give so many gifts to Aditi but she refused all of them and promise her she will take all of them when she will visit her again. I know why Aditi did not take gift from her. Because of the people she lived with. They are not worth of calling family because they are monsters.

Sometimes it shook my soul to think that how Aditi managed five years with them without any food and beating almost every day. I know she took a promise from me not to help her until her college last year ends but I am waiting impatiently to the day when I finally bring her out from that hell.

Because she is an angle who only deserves to live in heaven. She bears only pain since her childhood but I want her to free herself from their cage and hold my hand to fly with me. I am going to bring that day in her life soon. I just waiting for her college ends soon so I took her with me. After that I am not going to listen to her. She will live with me, in my house.

I hope you like the chapter.

I know many readers complaint about the slow updates but guys please do understand my situation also. I could not update on time because my most of the time spent in my life outside Wattpad and it's really getting tough to get some free time for my book.
