Chapter 5

I felt like his lips were going to crash on mine. Eyes still stuck at me as he strengthened the hold around my waist.

"they are going to kiss..." there were clatters of voices. Some vibrant voices of children that were gathered all around us.

"leave me" saying this I pushed him with all strength I had, actually I pushed him way too har

d, making him retreat and he got banged at the iron gate of the park.

with loud thud , all went silent. Childern also scattered here and there out of fear.

"Are you serious." hr spoke rubbing his elbow which just got hurt by the iron bars.

"I am sorry..." I rushed towards him and picked his hand to check for injury.

"Hope so you are not too much hurt." I was unconsciously quite concerned but then he splashed a smile at my face making me fume with anger and I got to remember that this person just few seconds back tried to kiss me. kiss me for real.

"Stop" ..."stop smiling" ....I spoke in an enraged voice.

"Were you going to kiss me, who gave you this right. Don't you know how a girl or boy needs to behave in public."

"I don't care about anyone. It's just about you and me. I am truly after you and I have no second thoughts in proclaiming this. "

"We are here because I planned it. I see you as my future and I will walk all miles to get it done. I won't force you into this but I will try my level best to woo your heart. "

"Miss stubbornn, I am going to win you at any cost. I love you and I want you and I am a getter." he spoke with a mix tint of personalities, at once it felt like a mad lover speech at another it felt like it's a ruthless CEO of a million dollar company who is just treating me like a priced contract of business which he wants to achieve at any cost.

For a moment I was to awestruck to utter a word. Out of nowhere this man popped in front of me with a marriage proposal and is now proclaiming to love me like anything. Is it surreal.

"I don't even have any business or ancestral property after which you could be." Mistakenly I spoke a little too loud making me audible enough for him.

"Hahaha...I have never met a girl like you. You are impossible. " Saying this he bursted in loud streaks of laughter.

For a moment I was quite lost in his lively laughing face, it was shining at every inch and corner with eyes gleaming and he looked completely different very lively & loveable figure.

You really can think of it. Why would I be after your property. I already have everything." he stopped laughing out loud, held his stomach and spoke in an inquisitive voice.

I lifted my eyes from him, looking away from him.

"I have made no joke. It is completely possible. Why would a materialistic person like you would be interested in affairs of girl like me."

"Do you have eye on my house, it is really big and it's my ancestral property. Or you might be after the gold jewellery of my mother." I spoke with eyes popped and fixated at him.

To my amaze he was smiling in between his teeth. As if trying hard to control the loud burst of laughter.

Is he trying to mock me. Looking at his face I felt a little embarrassed. I was serious. Did I made some joke.

"What are you finding so funny?" I questioned gritting my teeths.

"Nothing, don't take it wrong . You are just too cute." Looking up at me he patted my cheeks as if I am a little kid to him.

This was something which further fumed my anger is he taking me for a kiddo. Isn't he making fun of me. Resting my hands at my waist I looked up at him and gave him a real serious look.

My look must be clear enough to convey that I am not happy with the way he acted.

I am not going to give the piece of nuisance any more attention or importance. What does he thinks of himself.

Leaving him standing there to laugh at his self made jokes I turned to walk back the streets to my house.

I can't bear him for some minutes and my parents are thinking about getting me married to him. Seriously! no way.

As I moved with faster steps, I could hear his voice approaching me and asking me to stop. While I was rushing suddenly I felt a strong force . Picking my hand he pulled me closed with a thrust as our body banged face to face with a face.

His hands were tightly enclosed around my waist, my chest pressed upon his. Our chins just an inch apart.

He has successfully enclosed me in his arms. As if trying to prove he posses me completely. And I can't escape anywhere from him.

"Baby Girl, don't be so mad at me." He spoke in a ashy voice, playing with the curly strand of the hair and adjusting it at the back of my ear he looked at me passionately.

My body freezed for some seconds.

You really think I want to marry you for your house or gold. I am not boasting but just telling you I can buy a fortune for you. To this date I am capable enough to buy anything you like. I want you because I have started liking you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

"Money" I have enough of it.

What I am really in need of and require is "Love"

I want you to love me for the rest of your life. I see innocence in your eyes, I could see you are not a bit interested in my money but there is something that is stopping you from liking me.

Let me know what is stopping you, I promise. I will go any far to win your love.

I like you since we were little kids, knowing nothing about life.

I use to see you playing with my brothe Sanjay. You both used to share a very strong friendship. You won't talk to anyone else othe then him. You seem to notice no one infront of him.

I like you since then, I use to adore you secretly. The day when we have to leave this place, I was really sad about not being able to see you.

As time passed we grew, there were a lot of responsibilities on my shoulder. Sanjay betrayed us and left us after destroying all our business. Father was deeply hurt by this act of his son. I became his pillar of strength, worked hard day and night. I was able to establish strong pillar of success. There are a series of businesses I am single-handedly managing, still I am not happy. You were always there in my heart. Lively still the same I knew since childhood.

I had multiple proposals, there were some frequent flings who tried to win my at any cost but my heart was always yours. I have worked hard to reach this day when I can come to your house and ask your parents your hand.

I don't know what other way to put it across, but Marry me

Please say Yes.

I felt as if the whole world was rotating before my eyes. What is happening? Is it for real.

Mr Millionaire loves me since childhood and he just proposed me.

I was thinking of buzzing him off, but now my legs feel weaker.

His eyes still fixated at me awaiting a response.
