Chapter Five

Aryan's POV~

Lying on my bed, with my hand under my head,staring at ceiling of my room, all I have on my mind was one person whom I barely know 'Navmi'.

I know I shouldn't have said all those things to her. I took out all my anger on her. I saw her glassy eyes which was enough to feel bad .

The first time when I met her she was looking like a scared kitten ,she looked like she was in highschool or something. If Dadi had not told me about her I would have assumed her to be in school. But there was pull, I don't know what to call it but I was attracted to her and I don't want to admit that.

When she greeted me, though it was just a word 'hi' but there was calmness in her voice and like a arrogant man I am, I just nodded.

May be she was bit uncomfortable. She told my grandma that she wanna go and as usual my grandma tried to stop her. Dadi don't get along with people easily but that's the catch Navmi has that charm which can make anyone comfortable around her. She easily convinced my stubborn Dadi to let her go and all the while I was staring at her like a creep.

She has long black curvy hair which fall below her shoulder and above her waist. She has a very small face even smaller than my palm,golden brown skin, cute button nose, small lips and those brown eyes with long lashes ,are they even real ,I thought to myself but aghast they are real. She has a mole on her right cheek, a mole on her neck. She had tee with 'BABYGIRL' written on it. She was skinny. Probably her size must be 28 I could tell easily by looking at her waist.

And she saw me staring at her ,I averted my attention to what they are talking about and she winked and smiled at her. DAMN! that wink and that smile. I didn't even blink when she did that. She even denied for the lift not that I wanted to drop her, I was just curious to know where her apartment was.

She waved 'bye' when she was going I didn't even answer her not even a thanks for helping my grandmother.

After that my grandmother lectured me for good one hour about my indecent behavior and how sweet and genuine Navmi was .It's not my fault though I don't have genuine friends except Gyan and Harshit and I'm not good with strangers but she didn't feel like a stranger. They are my best friends. We know each other since we were 3, our parents are friends and so are we.

Since I'm the only child I always got what I wanted . Although I'm 24 but I know enough how to tackle problems. I know how to get things done by hook or by crook and many people don't like my way but I don't care if it profits me.

After that day I thought she will not come but how could I forget about my grandma , she likes Navmi very much so whenever I came home, Dadi will be either in living room or in kitchen ofcourse with Navmi, laughing, gossiping and watching movies. But she never paid attention to me, might be because of our first encounter. But her avoidance somehow irked me.

Women throw themselves on me, it's not like that I don't flirt with them ofcourse I do, but I know where to stop. I have had sex with many, had relations which didn't last more than a week. My last relationship lasted only for a month. But I never got this much attracted to a girl who is not even of my type. I like women with curves, and she has not enough flesh in her body let alone the curves but still I'm intrigued by her.

I always like people giving me attention, women giving me flirtatious smile but today when one of my employee flirted with me I fired her rightway because I was in thoughts of Navmi and after coming home and seeing her I lashed out at her for my insensitive behavior at office.

I wanted to say her sorry when I dropped her to apartment but saying 'Sorry' is not my thing so I didn't say anything nor did she asked how I know where her apartment is. Probably because she was mad at me and didn't want to have any conversation.

Well I stalked her when she was going to her apartment with a boy, who must be her classmate.

With that I fell in deep slumber only with one person in my mind 'Navmi'.

Next day

I woke up by a call in my phone I just hit the green button without having a glance at the caller ID.

"Hello Aryan, are you still on your bed ".

"What happened Mom,why r up so early ". I asked sheepishly.

"We will reach there in few hours and we gonna stay for one day so I want my boy to spend some time with me".

"What"I groaned.

"Oh your father has to attend his friend party and you better get off of your bed now. "she said sternly.

"Ok Mom".

Time skips~

"Hey Mom, Hey Dad" I hugged them.

"How's my baby "she ruffled my hair. I chuckled.

"How's is my boy"Dad patted my head.

"I'm great as always."

My father is very strict when in comes to business but he is the coolest father one could ask for.

"So how's it going son. "

he sat beside me.

"Nothing much dad".

Recently my life is just boring no fun nothing and one person is constantly invading my mind and senses.

I was talking to my dad about expanding business in other states and my mother and grandmother were talking about random things.

We had lunch together and I got call from Rohan, my assistant that he need my signatures in certain documents so I bid my parents goodbye and headed off to the office.

Time Skips~

I was heading back home when I spotted someone who was least expected ,

Navmi. But wasn't it her college hours, what was she doing here, must be skipping her classes.

But who is this person she is with?

I tried to catch up with their scooty so I can see the person. But I sighed in relief after knowing that the person she was with was a girl. I followed them, I don't know why I do such teenager things like stalking, zoning out, when it comes to her.

They were going to the mall. I parked the car far in the parking lot and followed them. This girl, yesterday day only she came here for shopping and now again.

May be they are shopping for her friend.

My subconscious mind rasped.

Yeah yeah whatsoever.

I was just behind them and suddenly my phone rang off. I saw the caller ID 'Shalini '

NO! I can't handle this girl right now. We used to date for how many days, I don't think I remember. I was in daze to answer the call or ignore it. So I just ignored and shoved the phone again in my pocket. And just in span of seconds I lost the track of her.

NAVMI 'S POV ~

It was lunch time and Anie texted me that If I wanna hang out with her. I was not interested sitting in that boring lecture so I told her pick me up.

"Come on quick , hop in, I'm hungry. "she whined. I giggled.

"Yes my lady"I bowed , making her glare at me

Soon we reached the mall and parked and guess whom I saw 'The Arrogant Aryan'.

And why I have feeling that he was following us.

"Anie do you think that guy in blue jeans and white shirt is following us".

"Umm I don't think so. Why? , do you know him ?and why is he looking so familiar".

She queried.

"I'll tell you later about this, Now tell me what he is doing right now ,I mean looking for someone or...??" she looked back over to him.

"No I think he is busy in his phone. I can't see his face. "

"Okay "I held her arm and immediately scooted in nearby shop.

"whoa!! What u doin and what about that guy".

she crossed her arms over her chest and crooked her eyebrows.

"He is Aryan "I scoffed.

"Aryan as in Arrogant Aryan. Oh My God why the hell that a billion dollar guy will follow us. "

My girls really take that name too seriously.

"Yeah that one" .

I held her arm and moved to cloth section.

"Hmm".

She hummed and asked nothing after that. One thing I love about her is that if I don't want to have conversation about anything then she will not push me and right now I don't want to do anything about him so she just left it.

We were just picking clothes, discussing about colors,sizes and a dress caught my eyes. It was puff sleeves halter mid black dress no embroidery just plain and beautiful.

Anie told me to try it, since i already loved the dress and the size was cherry on the top.

I was humming a song and searching for trial room. I left Anie to choose dress for her. But someone grabbed my hand and cornerd me.

It was so sudden that I yelped and closed my eyes and a hand came to my mouth to suppress me for screaming.

"Shhhh".

Aryan's POV ~

In just few minutes where did she go? If she disappeared just like that she must have gone to any nearby shop. So I searched few stores near that place .

I'm behaving like a bloody stalker but I'm actually stalking her.

Then I snapped my eyes to a shop through a glass ,there she was, holding a dress over her small tiny body, saying something to her friend and then she went somewhere.

"This girl, why can't she just stick to a place for a while, always disappears in air, ofcourse her body is like a feather flowing in wind. " I entered the shop talking to myself.

She was looking for trialroom I thought, so I took that as my cue, grabbed her hand and pushed to near by wall.

She must have gotten panicked by sudden action and was just going to scream. I placed my hand on her pretty little mouth.

"Shhh".

Suddenly she snapped her eyes , her doe eyes and her jaw fell .

Now that's a scene. So exquisite.

"What are you doing here? "

I asked but she was still in daze. I placed one of hand on the wall, leaning towards her and snapped my finger.

"Why do you even care, are you following me? "

She scoffed ,crooked eyebrow and crossed arms over her chest af she could intimidate me.

"Don't answer my question with a question and why will I follow you? "

I retorted back, but it was true though. I was following her but I would never admit that to her.

"Well if you know it is a store and normal people come to shop here.Unlike you ."

She mumbled the Unlike you but I heard it anyways.

"What did you just said? "

I hold her arm, pulled her to me but kept a comfortable distance.

"Something wrong MiMi? " came a voice. I looked back. A girl with brown hair ,pale skin, height same as Navmi wearing ribbed jeans and shirt, healthy than Navmi - was looking back and forth to me and Navmi. I let go of her.

"Nothing's wrong. Meet Aryan I had told you about Dadi right, he is her grandson. "

Obviously she must've said bad things about me or what must be that her friend was glaring me.

"So you are that Arroga.. Um Aryan. Hii I'm Aneesha. "

"Hello".

What was she going to tell me?

"Excuse me I gotta go".
