RUDRANEELOne month passed by and I haven't seen Kiara since then. I kept my promise that no matter what happens, I will stay away from Kiara, I won't meet her or see her again but damn, this is so tough.I have no idea why that girl has affected me so much and I keep thinking about her. Is it love? Am I in love with her? Is that even possible? No. This isn't possible, Rudraneel Rane can't fall in love.I kept on thinking about Kiara and it gave me an empty feeling inside me."Stop staring at me, Avni," I scoffed as I could feel Avni's intense gaze at me."How do you know I am staring at you?" She asked, pissing me more."Come on. Won't I know?" I rolled my eyes."Yeah, yeah. Fine," she scoffed.I looked at her as she got up and was getting dressed up. I took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking while resting myself in the bed."Are you in love?" Her sudden question shocked me as I looked at her."What?" I made a shocked expression."Yeah, are you in love, Kaal?" She asked aga
MILAN"Yeah, okay," I respond to boss and then noticed boss hanging up the call."Was he Rudraneel?" Kiara asked immediately as I put down the phone."Yeah. He's calling me for work," I tell her."So, you're going?" She asked.I don't know why, but her voice felt like she was hoping for me to stay. But the truth is, even if she wants me to stay, I can't."Yeah," I nodded and looked at her."But, Milan. We were hanging out," she made a sad face."We're hanging out for a month Kiara. And lately, I haven't been focused on my work. If I do that, our business would suffer losses and I can't let that happen. So I have to go," I tell her and stood up to leave."Okay okay. That r Rudraneel had to be a spoilsport," she scoffed making me chuckle."Bye. Take care," I smiled and walked away while she stood there, hoping that I may not go. Well, to be honest, I didn't feel like leaving her and go, but I didn't have any other choice.RUDRANEELI was waiting impatiently for Milan to arrive. The way
KIARAThe moment I entered college, I was utterly surprised. The scene I saw made me feel uncomfortable to an extent and I felt conscious about myself."Milan, you had to escape today?" I cussed Milan under my breath as I looked around the campus.The students present on the campus were looking at me. And their look made me feel scared. I still remember that day when the entire college wanted to attack me for something I haven't committed and I felt like no one could save me, but Milan barged in the right time and saved me, but today, he is not even present here.I looked around and noticed the eyes on me. Those eyes weren't full of anger or hatred, I could sense the guilt in those eyes. But guilt? Why are these people looking at me with guilt? What had happened?I felt nervous so I clutched my bag tightly and walked towards my classroom. I just wanted to escape from people's eyes. I avoided everyone and almost ran towards the college.The moment I entered my classroom, I settled down
KIARAThe next morning, I woke up at my usual time. I got out of the bed and went to Aai's room to check on her for once. As I reached her room, her condition didn't seem good to me, it worried me. "Aai," I immediately went to her and touched her forehead. She had a fever."Oh no," I panicked noticing Aai's condition. She has to be taken to hospital as soon as possible. But how do I manage?I picked up my phone and dialled Milan's number. I was getting impatient and I badly needed my friend at that moment. I was waiting for him to pick me up, but to my surprise, his phone was switched off.Milan's phone is switched off? Is he okay? I don't know why, but I am feeling worried about him. I was getting impatient and worried. I couldn't figure out what to do or how to do it. I looked around thinking for a solution, but it was of no use. I was breaking down and I was breaking down badly. Tears moistened my cheeks as my worries increased more and more. Finally, I dialled the NGO head Rit
KIARAI was unwilling to ask for any kind of help from Rudraneel, but at this moment, I am helpless and I had no other option than to ask him for help. But yes, I do promise myself that whenever possible, I will return this debt to him."I need your help," I told him, in a weak voice."Okay. A car will be reaching the hospital within ten minutes. Get into the car and come to me," he replied and I was in shock.How did he know that I am in the hospital? And which hospital? Mumbai has more than thirty hospitals. Is he keeping an eye on me?"How do you know that..." I couldn't even complete my sentence because I was scared.I was getting a glimpse of the man I am talking to and I had no idea how powerful he is."I know everything," he chuckled.His words sent shivers down my spine as I almost froze while holding my phone in my ear."H... How?" I stammered, thinking about the worst case scenario that's possible."You don't know me yet, darling. But now, you will. Reach on time," he spoke
KIARANever in my life, I have thought that Rudraneel would stoop so low. What was he even thinking before saying this?"I will marry you? Are you joking?"I snapped at him. Has he gone mad? What the shit is he speaking?"No, Kiara. I am not joking," he spoke like he was taunting me while I looked at him in disbelief."You will marry me," he spoke while he walked towards me."Don't... Don't come near me," I stammered as I saw him standing right in front of me."Oh come on. You will be marrying me in a couple of hours and right now you're behaving like a scared kitten," he chuckled."I will marry you?" I glared at him."In your dreams," and the next moment, I pushed him.There is no way I was going to bear any stupidity from Rudraneel's side. What does he think of himself? He is that gangster who keeps the world under his shoes? What a joke! This isn't fiction and I am not the girl who would listen to everything just because I am helpless."Think twice, Kiara M Thakre. You have two day
KIARAI was fixed on my decision. I had to save Aai at any cost and to save her, I was ready to go to any extent. So, if my extent meant marrying Rudraneel Rane, I would do that. I would marry him and unleash hell on him just because he played his cheap games with me. "Don't... Don't let yourself lose...in this," Aai mumbled in a weak tone.I looked at Aai, and that's when another realisation hit me. No matter what happens, I can't let to lose my dreams and myself in this chaos.I held her hands and smiled."I won't. Trust me," I replied and see her nodding with a slight smile.I knew Aai, even at this moment, I am sure that she would be worried about me and my decision. She knew she couldn't change my decisions because I have been stubborn since forever, but still, this was indeed a life-changing decision for both of us.I let Aai take a rest and walked out of her ward. I walked towards the terrace and sat on the stairs. I had certain things on my mind and that's what I had to act
FLASHBACK"Tell me, Milan. Do you love Kiara?"Milan was shocked at Rudra's question and that's why he looked at his boss in disbelief."No, I don't," he responded, after taking a deep breath."You don't?" Rudra was shocked at Milan's answer now."No!" Milan sighed."Then you're spending time with her? You care about her? What's all that?" Rudra asked.He couldn't comprehend Milan's intentions and that's why he was out of words. All he had in his mind, was just questions."Because I consider her as my friend. And friendship is a pure relation. People do care about each other, spend time with each other, make memories with each other to cherish in future when they are friends. So I and Kiara, we are doing the same," Milan replied with a smile while Rudra kept on looking at him."And boss, I can't love Kiara," Milan continued."She is still in love with Mukul and trust me, I can't spoil their pure love if I include my feelings in it. The love Mukul and Kiara shared, it's something so ra
