They were both looking at each other, lost in their world forgetting others. He was looking deep into her eyes. His breath fanned on her cheeks, sending a tingling sense of delight down her system.The camera flashes and the sound of clapping brought her back to her senses. She wriggled out of his hold, licking her lower lip in nervousness. She could feel the heat on her cheeks due to his proximity.He was watching her and let her go slowly. She chimed in a sweet "thank you" to others and ran off the stage quickly.He watched her go and get busy with other students. But suddenly his dull mood had now changed to a happy one.Just a little presence of her and he was feeling relaxed.She walked away from the crowd, looking for her friend whom she had just left to receive her trophy. She asked the other classmates about Ritika but they were also clueless. They began to congratulate her on her achievement.She dialled Ritika's number to know about her whereabouts. Ritika received her call
He held Samaira, pressing her face into his chest to protect her against the media covering them. Media came to cover the college program but the news of the country's most eligible bachelor being married was worth more coverage. Also, the incident that happened inside one of the best medical colleges couldn't be ignored.The crowd terrified Samaira more. She was feeling more humiliated but his protective arms were giving her strength - she needed it right now."Sir, when did the wedding take place?""Who's your wife?""Was it your wife who got harassed today?"He gritted his teeth hearing all the rubbish questions they were asking him. He tightened his hold around her when he felt her body shudder.Media people were waiting for them like animals attacking their prey - the moment he stepped out.Abhimaan clenched hard on seeing them, but he needed to take Samaira away from that place first. He would deal with them later. His bodyguards surrounded them and took them safely to the car.
Abhimaan pressed the security code and entered with her. Both were silent during the whole ride - their minds blaring with too many questions.Suddenly, the environment had changed into one of awkwardness. He could see her flushed face and the way she was avoiding any eye contact with him. He cleared his throat to gain her attention."Umm… You should change into something comfortable." He said pointing to her wet clothes, she nodded meekly and walked to her room.He thought of accompanying her to her room and took some steps but stopped himself and watched her retreating frame.He too went to his room to change his clothes, as the wet clothes began to bother him. He was cursing the rain - he hated rainfalls.He couldn't remember when was the last time he voluntarily got drenched in the rain. But now he was standing there - soaked in the rain from head to toe. He groaned looking at his condition.He changed into his comfortable trousers and t-shirt and picked his phone to call his secr
......."Why can't I sleep?"Abhimaan groaned in frustration. He was just lying there for the last 2 hours trying to fall asleep but it seemed today, he was not getting any!Whenever he tried to close his eyes, a pair of frightened eyes flashed before him.Her beautiful eyes!!They should always shine.Her trembling lips!!They deserved to wear a smile."Goodness!!""Have I become so jobless? Why the hell am I just thinking about her?""Maybe I should check her once and then I might get some sleep." He told himself and got up. Maybe it was his restless heart that didn't let him sleep.He strode out and was standing at her door. At first, he thought to knock, then dropped the idea thinking her sleep will be disturbed.At least, let her sleep. He mentally rolled his eyes at his stupidity. But he wanted to check on her once. So, he silently opened the door which - thankfully - was not locked.He looked around the whole room that was wrapped in darkness. He saw her sleeping on the bed, c
Samaira came out of her room after debating with herself for an hour. She was not feeling like meeting anyone today, she didn't want anyone looking at her with sympathy. But as Abhimaan had mentioned earlier, she had to give her statement for the further process against Sandeep Mishra.After he left the room, she sat there quietly for some time before heading towards the washroom for her daily routine. All the while she was thinking about how she would face everything.She was scared and nervous.She came downstairs, there was no one in the hall. She sighed in relief. She walked to the kitchen slowly. She found Mrs Annie was present, she was dictating some work to other staff.On seeing Samaira, She suddenly stopped and walked to her. She hugged her immediately with love and concern."How are you, Samaira?" She asked with concern.How did she know??Samaira thought but didn't show it to her. She nodded to her. Abhimaan might have told her. She thought looking down."Sir informed us ab
Samaira upped her lashes towards the door on hearing a knock there. She put aside her books to get up. She was not going to college for the last 4 days because of the incident that happened with her. It had created a bad impression for her college - a reputed institution.So their MD announced a week's holiday for them - so they can return with full vigour. That's why Samaira was writing some study notes, to utilise her time.In these 4 days, she didn't interact with Abhimaan much. They saw each other, she almost bumped into him last night but composed herself soon. It was her mistake, not Abhimaan's. He did a lot for her. It was her fault to get her hopes high. He didn't tell her to dream about anything.This was how she was trying to make herself understand. To hide her pain.To forget the hurt.She opened the door only to find herself standing face-to-face with the man whom she had been trying to ignore. The man who saved her, gave her support and comforted her.And broke her hear
Natasha Sinha!Abhimaan clenched his fist at her name. He still couldn't believe why his dumb friend was after her or - in Sagar's words - "in love with her.""Abhi, why do you always behave like this?""You've known her for a long time and now..." Sagar said, keeping his elbows on the table."I don't know her. It was just a casual affair that ended within a month.""How can you still be with her after knowing her real face? She is a shallow, self-centred girl and nothing else." Abhimaan poured out his anger towards his friend, who was foolishly wasting his time with a money-minded and selfish girl.Natasha Sinha was a runway model with whom his company worked for some time. After a drunk night at a party, it turned into a fling for them. But Abhimaan soon ended it - because of his rule "Do Not Mix Business With Pleasure"." You are being judgemental about her as always. She is my girlfriend and she needs my help. Is it wrong to help your partner?" Sagar defended himself. He knew Abhi
"I... Believe you"As these words came out of her mouth, his lips turned into a smile. A beautiful smile that would captivate anyone's heart. She was amazed by seeing his smile. He was looking more charming with a smile. And what mattered more was that he was smiling at her."Why doesn't he smile more often?"His palm was still on her cheek - both could feel the increasing intensity between them. She could feel that her face had turned all red - like a tomato.She looked down feeling shy under his intense gaze, all of a sudden. She wasn't used to this. She had never been this close to any man before. She licked her lips feeling her nervous heart beating fast.His eyes followed her action and it felt sensual to him. He realized how badly he wanted to touch those irresistible lips again."Control Abhimaan!!"He withdrew his hand and looked away for some second to control his inner demon. He knew he couldn't behave like that with her. This was not right... at least not for now.He had re
