Chapter 3

Antara's pov 

"if I was you I would not do this mistake that you are doing right now." a voice said with authority making all of us looking at the owner of the voice 

Oh my god it's him! But what is he doing here? 

Suddenly I felt the grip of kalpit's hand lotion around my wrist and totally vanished. 

I looked at him to find him staring at HIM with widened eyes. 

Good for me actually. 

"may I know what's going on here?" He asked with authority in his voice 

"Yes sir! You can. This kalpit is forcing Antara Di to marry him and was dragging her with himself." Pakhi jumped and said even before I could react 

"is it? I did not know that a girl's consent is not needed for a relationship or wedding." He said in a mocking tone and I can't help but admire him even in this situation 

" I love her but she is not ready to accept me and my love that's why I have to force her. "Kalpit said but his voice is shaken a bit 

It will shake because many big people shake in fear in front of Raichand family members and when it's their sons then lets say they even piss their pants. 

And here The young son of Raichand family Aashish Raichand is present. 

"Leave the girl and leave from here." He said and surprisingly Kalpit left from there without saying anything. 

. "Thank you for saving us!" Pakhi said as I stood there like a statue 

What to do, no words come out from my mouth when he comes in front of me. It's like my all words died in my mouth only 

It's nothing new! From the very first day when I met him I can't say a single thing in front of him. I got a spell bound to him. The way he talks, the way he smiles, the way he orders others everything is so enchanting about him. 

"See here is your gift. Came walking by himself." Pakhi whispered in my ears and I looked in shock 

"you should not tolerate this kind of behavior. Complaint about it to the police or to us. We will take care of it. The orphanage and it's people come under our care." He said looking at me 

"I actually i thought it won't do anything against him that's why I…" my worlds jumbled up in front of him 

Great! I have messed up my impression. Ugh why? Why in front of him? 

"Sir you are here is something important today?" I asked him without messing up this time 

Pakhi give me an are you for a serious look? 

"why can't I come here without any work?" he asked and I shook my head immediately in yes 

"Yes you can. I just asked. Sorry sir." I told him 

Oh god why I'm blabbering like this? 

"I think we should go now, we are all going to the same place." Pakhi said and I nodded 

We started to walk and I literally started to run from there. 

Oh god I just embarrassed myself in front of me. That's why I never come in front of him. 

Even if I do I don't open my mouth but today I did and messed up. 

" Pakhi, why didn't you inform me that he is coming? I would have prepared myself. I just embarrassed myself." I told her 

"Who told you to blabber in front of him? And it's good that I called him indirectly. He saved us from that Kalpit. Now I don't think he will disturb us again." Pakhi said and I again remember the way he said those words 

He is sooo….. I don't know which word to use. My crush on him has developed so much in something that I'm scared to name it. Because whatever it is that will end up hurting me and I guess in my life I have enough pain and hurt. 

He and I we both are no match. From every single way we are different from each other. 

I still remember meeting him for the first time when I was 14 years old. 

He was already 20 that time. He came here for some checking and ended up playing with the young kids. 

I was admiring him from afar. I was scared to go in front of him still I am. He comes every year and for the past 6 years I've admired him. He is so down to earth. 

And my fear is valid the day I came face to face with him I just babbled things. 

Only God knows what he must be thinking. He is so down to earth even being so rich and famous. 

Today seeing him is really a gift for me. I'm happy about that. Meeting him is another reason that I don't want to leave the orphanage. 

"What happened Di? What are you thinking? You did not replied to me " Pakhi asked as I stayed quiet for long 

"I just hope that Kalpit doesn't come in my way again." I told her and got inside as we are here and he has already reached here as he came with his car. 

"So how was my surprise?" she asked me wiggling her eyebrows 

"it's good. But how do you know about It?" I asked her 

"I have my ways you know and I am maybe 17 but I'm not blind ok. I can see things good." she said with a smirk playing on the lips and honestly that made me blush hard 

Is it that obvious? But then why does he not see it? 

"Are you hearing yourself, Anatara? Why will he see it scratch that how will he see it? You always stay in the shadows when he comes and you are nothing special that he should notice you." my inner voice said and I can't help but agree with her 

I shook my head and step inside and all heads snapped towards me and the look in their eyes is saying like I am not supposed to be here
