Hemadri's POV

I got to know from her colleague that Aarav had left. I was pissed off how can he leave without meeting me. I care for him so much and he doesn't bother about me.

"what?? Aise kaise?? Mujhse mile bina... main uske peeche paagal hue jaa rahi hun aur wo mujhe aise hurt kar raha hai" I said angrily.

"Aisa nahi hai.. Wo bas apne aapko pyaar karne se rok raha hai" she said with a smile on her face.

I glanced at her in disbelief, she held my hand and said "wo tumhe bahut pasand karta hai par kehta nahi hai! Paas rehna chahta hai tumhare par door bhaag raha hai tumse... wajah tum ache se jaanti ho..."

Someone calls her, she leaves from there and I sighed deeply "ek baat isko samajh nahi aati hai ab isko hemadri ke style mein samjhana padega.."

I walked backed to my room, I freshened up and soon everyone departed back to the city. Myra glanced at me and said "Sorry... mujhe nahi pata tha wahi aane waala hai kal raat party mein"

"Tu sorry kyun bol rahi hai Myra? Wo apna kaam kar raha tha waha.. Agar apna kaam nahi karega toh iss mehenge shahar mein guzara kaise hoga?" I said.

Myra eyed me and smiled "how understanding hemu... kal toh bahut jealous ho rahi thi.."

"Haan ho rahi thi because I love him! Aur ab uss idiot se bhi confession karwana hai he loves me" I said with a mischievous smile on my face.

"How do you know he loves you?" Myra asked.

"Kal jo ladka mujhpe line maar raha tha uska chehra dekh sujha hua hai.." I said signaling toward the guy. Myra rolled her eyes towards her friend and laughed.

"Who punched you Sam?" she asked.

"That bloody stripper.. I won't spare him" Sam said in anger.

I smiled upon hearing his words, Myra eyed me again. I then said "usne mera room bahar se lock kiya.. Warna ye sam mera fayda utha leta..."

"Oh yes.. Wo ache se janta hai aise parties mein aksar sab behak jaate hai! Hosh rehta nahi hai.. Kisiko" Myra commented.

"Exactly.. Ab dekh kaise wo khud confess karta hai he loves me" I said.

Within an hour we reached our building, and I got down with Myra. The day passed in a blur and in the next few weeks, I got busy with my assignments and a part-time job.

I was at the cash till, I looked at the customer and it was him. He smiled at me but I maintained my seriousness "25 pounds" I said.

He swiped his card and I handed over the bill to him "thank you, Sir! Have a nice day"

Aarav eyed me in confusion but then walked out of the shop. About an hour later, my shift ended I wore my long coat and moved out of the shop. I walked to the street and saw him standing near the stop.

I ignored him and passed by trying to hide my smile. Aarav followed me and said, "you are actually ignoring me?"

I stopped and asked "toh kya karun?"

"Nahi.. I mean thik ho? Uss raat party ke baad se ek call nahi kiya tumne message bhi nahi aur ghar bhi nahi aayi" He said and I raised my eyebrow.

"Tumne hi kaha tha na.. Stay away from me toh wahi kar rahi hun! So don't meet me again" I said in an annoyed tone and walked ahead. I turned behind and he was lost in thoughts. I smiled at myself "so he is missing me.. How cute"

I got on the bus and headed towards my home. My phone rings and it was his call. I disconnected it and smiled "bahut bhaav khaya tha tumne.. Ab meri baari hai!"

I reached the club where Myra was waiting for me. She ran and kept her arm around my neck "hemuu.." she kissed my cheek.

I pushed her away "chipak mat aise.."

"Acha chal dance karte hai" she pulled me towards the dance floor. I began to dance with her but my eyes were fixed on the entrance of the club. If he has something in his heart for me, he will be here any minute. Finally, I saw him entering the club. I looked away pretending I hadn't seen him.

Someone tapped my shoulder, I turned and narrowed my eyes. "Hey.. It's me Dheeraj.. Remember?" he asked.

He was one of my colleagues, I smiled at him, and shook my hand. It was my chance to Aarav jealous "hey.. Yea I remember"

Aarav had been at the bar counter, he was only staring at us. "Would like to dance with me?" Dheeraj asked.

"Sure.." I agreed and kept my hand on his shoulder.

I rolled my eyes towards Aarav, he gulped down two glasses of whiskey and I was trying hard to hide my laughter.

Myra moved to the bar and sat down beside him. Myra eyed him and smiled "hey..."

Aarav looked at her and smiles "hey"

"What is this handsome man doing alone?" Myra asked

Aarav looked at me again and said "nothing"

Myra said "oh.. That couple is looking so cute.. Made for each other"

Aarav got up and walked out of the club after hearing her words. Myra showed thumbs to me and I turned to follow him. Dheeraj stopped me by holding my wrist. I eyed him and said, "leave me.."

"Why??" he asked.

I jerked my hand away and walked out of the club. I looked around the streets but couldn't find Aarav. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me to the corner of the street. I glared at him and he eyed me with lust "come on.. Pretty lady.."

I pushed him away "Dheeraj just stay away"

"Acha?? Toh itna kyun chipak chipak ke dance kar rahi thi?" he asked holding my hand tightly. His grip was tight and it pained. I just wanted to tease and make Aarav jealous. He had been sweet to me in the lectures and I had considered him as a friend.

He tried to forcefully kiss me and I shouted "Dheeraj..."

After a minute, he has pulled away from me. I took a deep breath and saw Aarav hitting Dheeraj.

"Abe.. jab ladki mana kar rahi hai toh kyun samajh nahi aa raha hai tujhe?" he said angrily.

"Tujhe kyu itni jalan ho rahi hai?? Teri kuch lagti hai kya??" Dheeraj asked with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up.." Aarav shouted and punched hard on his face.

"Itna ktun garam ho raha hai? Chahe toh tu bhi maza lele?" Dheeraj said

Aarav fumed in anger more, he slapped him hard and hold him by collars "ek aur shabd bola na yahi maar dunga tujhe! Pya..." he paused and began to beat him.

I stopped him and said "Aarav jaane do please.."

Dheeraj pushed him and run away from there. He came near to me and asked "thik ho tum?"

I nodded in yes, I saw his hand and it was bleeding. I held it and said in concern "Aarav tumhara haath.. Kya zaroorat thi itna marne ki use?"

"Harkat hi aise ki thi usne... how dare he misbehave with you," Aarav said and a smile appears on my face.

He glared at me and said "aur kya zaroorat thi uske saath dance karne ki?? Har koi acha nahi hota hai.."

"Tum karloge toh nahi karungi" I replied.

Aarav eyed at me and I could see love for me in his eyes. "Mujhe jaana chahiye" he said and turned to leave.

I held his wrist and asked "pyaar nahi karte mujhse?"

"Nahi.." he denies.

I came in front of him and looked straight in his eyes "yahi meri aankhon mein dekhke kaho.. Bolo jab main dheeraj ke saath dance kar rahi thi tumhe koi farak nahi pada"

He stammered to speak, it is hard for him to lie. I kissed his cheeks and asked "bolo.."

"Mai.. wo" before he could confess his phone ranged. He took it out from his pocket and answered it "yea.. I will be there soon"

He ends the call and smiled at me "nahi farak padta" he walked away from there and I sighed in disappointment.

Myra and Dheeraj came to me, Dheeraj glared at me "usne mujhe bahut peeta hai Hemadri! Iska 50 pounds extra lagega"

Myra slapped him "kuch nahi milne waala hai tumhe! Usne kaha mana wo pyaar karta hai isse"

"Maanega.. Ab toh pakka yakeen hai mujhe he loves me" I said.

Dheeraj said "I am not helping!"

"Yes, you are!" Myra spoke and promised to go on a special date with him. Dheeraj agreed and another plan came to my mind.
