And what is that?? If you are curious to know about me, ask me directly."
Shanaya needed no help to recognize the owner of the manly and dominating voice.
Her body quivered when her back felt the waves of heat radiating from his body and, she presumed, he must have been just, behind her. She gulped the saliva down her throat and moved her right hand in her hair to set the fling back in a beautiful style.
"He is just trying to intimidate me!" self-convincing herself, she glanced toward Vansh and, Avni to see them thinking hard to overcome the situation.
That was one of the reasons they were her favourite people they knew when to come forward to help her when to step back and when to comfort her.
The situation was not something big, but, she could not ever let Vihaan know she was talking about him. She could not admit to herself of giving him so much, importance.
She opened her mouth to give some excuses when she heard "Who is curious about you, vihu?" questioned innocently by Avni, with her face representing the symbol of chaste.
Shanaya, along with Vansh, could almost laugh at her expressions, but somehow controlled themselves and waited for Vihaan's answer.
"I heard someone saying it, dee," stepping a little toward left, his right shoulder touching Shanaya's left shoulder, his hands in the pockets of the pants, Vihaan replied and, glimpsed at Shanaya.
Shanaya looked away the moment Vihaan glanced at her and murmured to herself "In no way in the world I am going to lose in front of him. How arrogant he is to ask when he knows it already!"
When Seconds passed and, Shanya did not hear any sound, she uplifts her eyes to see Avni and Vansh standing with no expressions, and Vihaan looking at her with face expression's she could not read.
"Are you saying that 'someone' is me??" breaking the silence, Shanaya exclaimed, turning her face North-East at 45 degrees to face Vihaan when she could not resist herself anymore.
"You won't lose anything, Miss Shanaya if you accept this," Vihaan whined, looking straight in her eyes.
He had never thought to spill out words from her will make him so happy, but, he too did not know why it feels good to tease her.
He immediately ignored the mocking words his mind snapped at him "Seriously Vihaan!! Tease her!!! what was that?"
"Oh come on man, I have no interest in you and when I don't have any interest in you why would I be curious about you?" Shanaya blabbered, withdrawing her face devoid of any treacherous expressions to the original position and her hands expressing her more accurately.
"Oh, I see. May I know who were you talking about?" Vihaan spoke with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
But, before she could answer, he spoke again, while making eye contact with her and, staring deep in her eyes, he whispered: "Don't try to fool me, by saying, you were curious about Vanshu, because, as far as I know, you guys are besties and, besties know everything about each other, isn't it??"
Breaking the eye contact, he roams his eyes at the other two.
Shanaya had just calmed her heart when she looked at Avni to saw her in the process of revealing under Vihaan's intimidating and careful looks.
Before Avni could utter more than" Umm she was.." she saw Shanaya's horrified expressions that were enough to stop her.
Relaxing a bit, Shanaya speaks before anyone could ruin it further" I was curious about that guy you were standing with."
"Who?" Vihaan took no more than a second to enquire.
"The one dressed in the Black suit with nice built and an impressive height" before Shana could control, her tongue slipped and she closed her eyes for being so careless.
"How can you so blurt with the one you have no interaction, Shanaya? You need to learn how to control your tongue" blaming herself, Shanaya opened her eyes, but could not believe her ears along with other two when she heard Vihaan asking "Why?"
"What, why? What you mean by, why? I found him attractive, worth being interested and, he is sexy and, of course hot, so I was asking about him in case they may know him" not looking at Vihaan, Shanaya shut her mouth off and started playing with her fingers.
"Definitely in need of self-control lessons!" Shanaya once again slapped herself in her mind.
When Shanaya did not hear Vihaan asking anything more, she sighed 'Thank God' but, that relief vanishes the second she looked at Vihaan and, admitted to herself she should not have said anything like that.
Looking at her with outrage in his eyes, Vihaan was controlling himself not to harm Shanaya in any possible way.
Not able to understand his behaviour, Shanaya opened her mouth to ask "what?" when he moved away with that glare in his eyes.
"Ohh my god!!!! what was that, "Shanaya shrieked, keeping her right palm on her wildly beating heart and looked around to saw Vansh and Avni breathing raggedly. She knew the powerful aura he had was enough to scare anyone, not just her.
Going deep in her thoughts, Shana recalled how his eyes had turned into a mixture of red and, black and, how she feels every time he comes near her.
She knows something was wrong with her deep down, but had no idea what it was and, she did not know whom to ask.
Her thoughts were disrupted with Avni's surprised filled voice"Seriously Shana! you are lucky to be with us right now or, god knows what would have happened with you, for your careless statements.!!!"
"haha... dee thanks to god that she didn't say anything else" controlling his laugh, Vansh spoke.
"Come on, guys, you are making me uncomfortable, now. What's the big issue in saying it? You are speaking as if he has never heard all this before! I am telling you he wants to control everything and wants no one to question him up."
"Dee, ask about his girlfriends and, you will find a list of them and, he roams around behaving, like a saint...huhh" making faces, Shana looked around to distract herself from the thoughts of Vihaan that kept invading her mind.
Witnessing Vihaan's reactions around peoples had taught Shana enough to be aware of him and to be away from him.
She concluded to herself "He is Dangerous once in anger."
"Congratulations beta! I am so happy for you" Shanaya's chain of thoughts was broken when she heard one of the ladies present at the party.
"Thank you, Aunt!" beaming, Avni replied. She further added," Meet my friend, Shanaya" and, gesturing toward Shanaya, she spoke " Shana, my aunt".
Shanaya's time was passing quickly, by introducing herself to all the people who came to congratulate Avni when Shanaya receives a notification on her phone.
She unlocked her phone to see a notification, but what she saw froze her.
Not able to believe her eyes, she kept on looking at the notification with her body chilled, her fingers trembling, her legs shaking, her mind void and her heart fluctuating.

Love to all <3
Sitting at the furthermost corner of the lawn, opposite of Shanaya's, Vihaan was drinking vodka with the same man Shana had addressed as 'Hotty'. But, instead of focusing his attention on the man, Vihaan found his eyes on Shanaya, again and again. "Has she caught your attention?" taking a shot of vodka, that man enquired, witnessing Vihaan's actions. "What? Who are you talking about?"enquired Vihaan, though fully knowing what it was all about. "I am talking about the same girl you are glaring at, not to forgot 'within seconds'"emphasizing on seconds, that person chuckled. "Come on, bro, I am not looking or, as you say glaring at any girl"stating it casually, Vihaan took another shot of vodka. But, that person was not someone who could digest it, his experience kn
"Oh, you are back! Where had you been? People were asking for you" Avni exclaimed as soon as Shanaya reached them. "Umm, I got a call from Riya" lying, Shana tried her best not to get trapped in her web. She added,"But, why were people asking for me?" "They wanted to have a chat with you regarding some events" Avni explained and was about to say more when she was interrupted by Vansh. "And, one of them asked us if you are single, as he wanted to suggest his son for you"laughing, Vansh teased her. "Shut up! stop mocking me!"Shanaya faked anger. "He is telling the truth"siding with Vansh, Avni added and flashed a teasing smile at her. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, Avni asked hurriedly"I forgot to a
Smiling with pain, Shanaya nodded to something Vansh said, unaware of the context of it. She was there, physically, mentally but not emotionally. Within a minute, her eyes had lost the shine they had, her heart had lost the happiness she had felt, for some days, her face had lost the smile and, her body had lost the strength of standing. Listening partially to what all were talking about, noticing Vansh and Avni's concerned looks, ignoring Vihaan's gaze, nodding to Saaransh, she just wished to be somewhere alone, somewhere she could overcome and can heal herself. She did not hear Avni asking Saaransh"For how many days you will be here?" or Saaransh answer"For a month" but, her attention shifts to the conversation when she heard Saaransh asking "Are you okay, Shana?". In haste, she spoke,"Ummm? Oh, yes! perfectly fine
A minute passed, with she trying to get free and he trying to restrict her struggle. When she saw him in no mood of uncovering her mouth and, not having any other solution, she bites his palm and, arched her brows when she saw, his eyes looking at her with shock. But to her astonishment, he neither yelp nor he flinches but, for sure he removed his hand. "What the hell are you doing?"she spat as soon as her mouth got uncovered but quickly shut her mouth when she notices how loud she had spoken. Looking at her surrounding to make sure no one heard her, she looked again at him and waited for his reply. "I should ask the same. For god sake, you bite me!"looking at her while hiding his amusement, he whispered. He mentally whispered "She is beautiful" when he saw her face destitute of any makeup but radiating as always, her average-size
Thud thud thud thud thud thud Shanaya...Shanaya...Shana??? Lying on her bed, Shanaya could neither hear the bangings of the door nor the voice of Vansh and Avni who were calling her name for the last fifteen minutes. She was not in the waking world at the moment. Distanced away from Shana just by a wooden door, Avni, wearing Blue jeans and red shirt, hair tied up in a pony and Vansh, wearing Black pant with a white t-shirt with messed up hair, glanced at each other, outside of Shanaya's room. The looks on their face were enough to state the condition of their heart. Looking doubtful and concerned, Vansh was the one to break the silence"Are you sure, she is okay?" Avni, who did not approve his doubtful voice, spoke immediately and sarcastically"What do you mean by 'is she
Shanaya needed no help to know what she was referring to, but she had no idea how to respond to it. She just nodded her head when she heard Vansh"You know beautifool, you can talk to us, right?". Smiling at him, Shanaya whispered"I know, Vanshu"and turning her face to Avni, continued"Dee, do not worry, I am okay". "Are you sure?" "Ofcourse" "Okay, so everything is good then. I was wondering if I should act as a mediator between you and one of the hot boys from the party. You know, many of them asked for you, like what's your name? Are you single? and so on." Vansh lied and looked at her to see no responses. He had guessed it correct. She was pretending to be okay. "Shana, you can cry!
Want to go out for to eat something spicy?" standing in the middle of the room, checking his glimpse on the mirror, setting his hair by his hands, Vansh asked Avni and Shana. "No" "Yes" "What you mean 'No'?" glancing at Shana, Avni asked. Stretching herself and relaxing her body, Shana stood up from the bed. Going toward the table, she picks up the glass, pour some water on it and said after drinking it"Guys, it's such good weather! Why waste the feeling of it by driving." "Exactly! It's such good weather and, you are wasting it by sitting in the home" taking out his phone from the back pocket of the pant, Vansh continued"I am going to reserve the seats, Get dressed". "Vanshu!"stopping him in bet
Enjoying the night full of stars and the moonlight that was illuminating Shana's face, she turned and tossed, her mind full of many things that were not letting her sleep. She could not digest the information of Saarnash being Vihaan's best friend. "How can they be the best friend when they are totally opposite?? How can someone so cute, sweet and polite befriend with that angry, rude devil" asking herself in disbelief, Shana turns to find a comfortable spot. Her gaze fell on the table clock and, her eyes widened to saw it showing one in the morning. She cursed herself"On god's name, why the hell I am even thinking about him". She continued changing her direction to let sleep overcome her but to no avail. "Okay, just chant God's name and, you will sleep Shana" consoling herself, she lied on her back, closed her eyes, and, started chanti
