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
Lying on their bed, she watched him, removing the tie, and unbuttoning his shirt, and then suddenly he stopped.The action did not go unnoticed, and immediately, Shana looked at him.And found him looking at her."Always Look at me," he demanded as soon as their eyes met."I am already looking at only you," Shana replied emphasising on 'you', and her eyes reached to his manhood again.Shana took a long breath as soon as his hands touched his belt.All the curiosity, anxiety, and excitement made their way, and she could feel the sweating make the way.She had touched and had felt him, but now she was going to see it.As if he could sense, he spoke," Are you sure?" Even though his heart was praying, " Please don't say 'No'"."Are you going to torture me in slow motion, " Shana was restless now."Ha
"What?" Vihaan almost stammered.And he broke the kiss, not because he wanted to, though. He looked at her, shock written all over his face.Did he just hear Shana correctly?Shana hesitated. Was Vihaan not ready anymore for her?But the kiss did not seem like it. It had the same passion."Nothing," and she blurts out with disappointment, lacing her voice."Shana...please repeat what you said?" Vihaan just wanted to hear her say once more.He had wanted to hear it for such a long time that he was not sure he was even hearing it.Lifting her chin, making her eyes meet his, Vihaan spoke again," Please, just once."His pleading but love-loaded eyes and his thumping heart answered the one Shana was searching for, and she whispered the magic words again," Love me, Vihaan."Tick tick tick
Ascending the stairs, Shana knew it was a turning night in her life.Vihaan had never left a party like it ever.And she was confused.No way, Vihaan had left the party simply because saaransh had danced with her.And the voice of Vihaan rang in her mind, " One touch of another man on your skin and trust me, you will never forget this night.""He was not serious about it." speaking to herself, she tried calming herself.She was so engrossed she hardly heard Vansh's footsteps beside her."Good night, beautifool" Stopping at the first floor, Vansh looked at her.Shana smiled tight lips, her eyes on the second floor, her heart beating fast, in excitement and desire.Waving goodbye to Vansh, she hurriedly ascended the stairs and halted in front of the door to their bedroom.Calming her running heart,
Everything was going well. Since the arrival of Vihaan, Shana could hardly feel any gaze. And the party was going great. As it was for only closed ones, it hardly had thirty to forty people. The food, the music, the aura, everything was perfect. "I think it will be a girl" Sipping the soft drink, Shana spoke, her eyes filled with love looking at Avni's belly. She was standing in the middle of the party hall with Vansh, Avni and Anubhav. "I think it would be a boy" Vansh spoke next. "Come on! I can tell you it will be a girl" Caressing her belly, Avni glared at Vansh. "Ofcourse, even I want a girl" Joining Avni, Anubhav continued" Imagine having a little image of you. That would be so beautiful" and he was dreamy now. Shana was enjoying t
Shana was sitting in front of the dressing table, her pinkish-round face glowing.Not with any makeup, but with shyness, excitement and nervousness.Her greenish silk saree with a backless blouse and the emerald necklace adoring her petite and creamy neck were not making her less prettier.And she realised people saying green is her colour were not liars.She was glad to choose green, for she wanted to look pretty. The feminine in her was urging her to look beautiful, for herself and for Vihaan.She knew something had changed, maybe not just something but everything.She now wanted to wear gorgeous sarees and dresses and wanted to look mesmerizing every time.And her expectations of herself were so much, she could not even decide which lipstick to apply.Her heart as usual wanted red, but her eyes and mind were urging her to go to pink.And vihaan lying on the bed, his hands supporting his head was not helpful at all.Instead, like always he was increasing her heartbeats and regrets.
Shana might not have forgiven him, but she would answer him ,whenever he would ask her anything.But that was it.Days passed and it was one fine day.Avni and anubhav have visited them and all except Vihaan were sitting in the lobby, enjoying the sunset and cool Breeze while enjoying the coffee.Vihaan was as usual in his office, he had some important meetings with the international client.But he had promised Avni he would be with them as soon as the meeting will be over.Sipping the coffee while gossiping , Avni spoke up, gaining everyone's attention on her"I have something to share with you."And she had everyone's attention.She looked nervously at everyone and then her gaze halted at Anubhav who was sitting beside her on the sofa.Out of her habit, Shana was noticing her body language and she noticed Avni's p
Two days passed and it was already Sunday.Neither Shana nor Vihaan had any plans, but the rest of the Rathores had already departed to one of their relatives.Since it was one of her favourites, Shana took her time to wake up.She had no obligation to wake up early and to rush to the office.She had inner plans though.She wanted to wake up late, have a bath, have brunch and then she wanted to dedicate her time to writing.It was killing her to know she had not written a single line for a long time.Waking up at ten in the morning, she was out of her room after half an hour.She had not taken a bath yet, she was craving for some strong coffee.Still in her sleep, she descended the stairs to reach Vansh's floor and the thought of having a glimpse of him made her walk toward his room.Knocking, sh
Good morning" Trying to meet her eyes, Vihaan spoke while sitting at the breakfast table.It was not exactly morning; it was ten in the morning, and they both were late for the office.Or, Vihaan was deliberately late as he was waiting for Shana to at least look at him.He was completely sober, even if he was not, he was not going to show it.The thought of the night was a nightmare for him and he did not want to ruin the present day.But it looked like it had.He felt Shana ignoring him completely, and once done with the breakfast, he followed her back to his room.Closing the door, he walked toward Shana and lightly grabbing her elbow, made her turn towards him."Please look at me" Lifting her chin with his index finger; he was like a lost puppy.Shana did not glance at him."I am sorry, Shana"
Tick tick tick....The second hand of the wall clock was increasing her heartbeat with every strike and she was becoming more anxious.Now she was concerned about him. It might have been normal for her to pretend to be okay in front of the members of the family when they had asked about Vihaan and she had replied" He will be late."But, now when she was alone, and time was passing at a fast pace, she was worried.All she wanted was for him to be in front of her.Lurching up from the bed, she stood up and picking the phone from the table, she had just dialled his number when she heard the bell ringing outside the door of the room.And the next second, she heard the knob of the door turning.She had never been so relieved as she was a the moment and she almost ran forward to hug him.But, then she stopped and all the anxiousness, worri
