Chapter 6

Author 's POV

"Excuse me I gotta go.I saw Navmi and I thought she came here with my grandma .My bad. "

He said with longing face and walked off from them but not from the store.

He stood far from them but still he could see her clearly.

"Is he crazy" frowned Aneesha.

"Maybe "Navmi nodded agreeing with her.

"Forget it, you try your dress " with that she pushed Navmi in the trial room, after some time the door opened and she came with the black dress on her. He saw her from far.

"Beautiful " the only word that came out of his mouth.

Her hairs were bit messy but that couldn't lessen her beauty. She was checking her self on the mirror while Aneesha was in the trial room. His feet stalked in her direction without thinking. He was standing behind her.

"A r y a n" she was shocked to see him again. They both were drowning in each other eyes. Then he examined her face, the mole on her cheek, on her neck going down he saw another one right below her collarbone.

'Wow great discovery '

All the moles aligned in a pattern like constellation. He gulped down the saliva in his throat at the sight.

She was still standing staring him.

Decreasing the distance between them,he stood such that her back slightly rubbed against his chest, he snapped his gaze to her pink lips and 'woah' her scent. It was so intoxicating to him. He took a long breath to inhale her. She smells so good just like fresh roses.

"Are you checking me out " she squinted her eyes on him. He came out of the trance and gaped with emotionless face. And with that he finally stormed out of that store.

"He is really crazy ". She muttered.

"What ?who is? " Aneesha came out of the trial room.

"No one some guy"

"So are you gonna buy that dress or... "queried Aneesha.

"Yep I am. "

"How you always get yourself a dress and here I can't even find myself a tee properly."Aneesha pouted making Navmi chuckle.

"Its because you don't explore the things, take time, fix your mind what you want. "

"No Mimi I don't wanna shop anymore let's just go "Aneesha said with a bored tone.

They went to cashier and paid for the things. They came out of the mall and headed towards their apartments. Aneesha dropped Navmi at her place, both of them oblivious to the fact that someone was following their each and every move. Aryan was staring at Navmi when both of them bid their bye's. He sighed and moved the car towards his home.

**********

"How was your day Aryan" Priya (his mother) asked Aryan when ,all of them were sitting in the dinning hall having their dinner.

"Not bad "He answered thinking about Navmi. He had fun stalking her.

"Aryan we want to discuss something with you ." his mother said.

"First ask him if he is ready for that or not ". Arjun ( his father ) put down the spoon and looked at Aryan.

Aryan was confused what his parents were talking about. On his confusion ,his mother asked him.

" Are you seeing someone " He choked on his food.

"I mean are you dating someone ?" his mother asked clearly. His jaw literally dropped to the ground after listening to his mother and only one thought came to his mind

'Did they see me with Navmi '.

Aryan's POV

' No I don't think they know about her' I calmed my mind.

"No Mom I'm not ".My mother clapped her her hands in glee.

"Okay then we want you to meet a girl, she is the daughter of one of our business partners and.. "

"Mom Mom back out " I cut her off.

"Mom I don't want to marry any girl."I immediately said so that they will not lead that girl on.

My mother face fell after hearing me.

"What do you mean you don't want to marry any girl . Oh my God Aryan don't tell me you are ".

"No priya don't think about my grandson like that, he is straight " Dadi said and then I knew what my mother was thinking about me.

" What! Mom you thought I am... ,Oh God Mom, It's just that I'm 24 only and it's like very early for me for that marriage thing. I'm not ready. "

"But you can atleast meet her and.. "

"Priya let him be, if he doesn't want that and he has plenty of time for marriage ,let him explore "

My Dadi defended me. It's one of the reasons I love her most she always takes my side.

"OK Ma as he wish, we didn't want to force you Aryan".

"Now don't spoil your mood, we are not serious but you will let us know when you want to settle down". My father tried to cheer me up.

"Yeah Dad ".

My father patted my shoulder before standing off from the table. I finished the dinner and then plopped down on my bed after taking shower.

I can only think about one person who has caged my mind, my thoughts, everything. When I saw her in that dress she was looking breathtaking, her eyes, her hair, her moles ,her scent, every single thing about her is too tempting.

And now I'm loosing my mind.

I wanted to hold her and drown in that intoxicating scent of her.

I took my phone from nightstand, checked for contacts.

DAMN! I don't have her number.

Mind full of Navmi.

'But I can get her number from Dadi's phone'.

'You are behaving like a fucking teenager Aryan who is crushing hard on his crush. ' my subconscious mocked me.

Yes I'm but I can't help it.

I sighed, defeated.

'Now I can't stalk her. No! not stalk ,its the wrong word, check up on her yeah '

I said to to myself.

I spent some time replying emails and messages of clients.

I put the phone beside me and tried to sleep but it was far from me.

I checked the time on my wall clock it was 11 pm. I have a meeting with my clients early morning and sleeping is the last thing I wanna do right now.

I grabbed my phone, car keys and walked out of my room. All the lights were off, I opened the gate of the house softly, I didn't want anyone to be awake. I didn't feel like driving so I shoved my car keys and phone in either side of my pocket.

I was just walking on the empty side of road,cool breeze hit my face and I relaxed a bit. The night was so calm, dazzling stars, chilled air, some cars running on road, I took some turns and I didn't even know how I ended up here.

I was near her apartment. I entered a shop for for a bottle of water and left after paying only to meet the glimpse of someone ,very familiar figure coming out of the building.

'What was she doing outside at this hour '.

I marched towards her ,she was in a denim one piece which came just above her knees.

Didn't she know its so unsafe to come outside alone.

She was standing with her head down, looking at her feet and biting her nails.

I walked and stood right in front of her. She looked up to me and took a step back obviously shocked to see me here.

"What are you doing here? "Is she really serious asking me why I am here, well even I don't know why.

"Are you serious, why are you standing here ? it's not safe for girls at this hour. "

"Don't answer my question with a question."

She glared at me with crossing her arms over her chest.

I raised my eyebrows, kept my face stoic, waiting for her answer.

"Um I was waiting for someone. "She answered constantly looking at her feet avoiding eye contact.

'Who was she waiting for '

"He told me that its very important and told me to meet him outside "

'Wait did she just say he ,a boy'.

"Omi are you really dumb what could be so important that he didn't wait for morning"

Sometimes she just pushes me to the edge. Was she that naive.

"He kept requesting me and told me that it will not take much time so I.. "

"So you came down here with this dress, all alone and not forget to mention at this time, really its almost midnight ".

I cut her off.I didn't want to listen her silly explanation.

"What's your problem and whats the problem in this dress.Also I can take care of my self, you don't have to think about my safety and why are you yelling at me and yeah care to answer if I ask you what are you doing here ".

She rambled all the things in one breath.

"Well I was out for some fresh air ."I said adoring her chocolate brown eyes. She was looking beautiful with bun with some hair strand falling freely on her face.

She moved away her eyes when her phone rang. She checked the message and looked up to me and then again the message. I narrowed my eyes on her.

"What "I asked gazing her.

"Um he um he told me to take a turn to that shop he is waiting there. "She pointed at a shop and I saw in that direction.

I grabbed her arm and started walking in either direction.

"Hey Stop."she tried to snatch her arm.

"Just keep walking or you wanna go to that guy ".

I kept walking without looking back at her but now holding her hand instead of her arm.

It felt so good her small, warm and delicate hand.

She sighed and said nothing.

I halted to a place far from busy road.

"So? "

"So what? "I looked back at her.

"That's what I said what now" I really don't know why I did this.

"I don't know "I truthfully answered her.

We shared a peaceful silence and then it hit me who the hell was that bloody guy.

"By the way who was the person that made you wait outside at the middle of the night "

I couldn't stop myself questioning her.

"He is Sameer, he is my...... ".
