KC2 - Banoo main teri dulhan: Part1 - Part5

Part1: 

Arjun eyed the mangal sutra and sindoor that Sakshi was wearing.....He enquired without a second thought, “yeh sab kya hai?”

His voice had confusion as well as a sense of jealousy lacing to it....Why the hell should he be bothered? But he was....he didnt know why!

Aisha hadn’t noticed it so far.....she turned to Sakshi hearing Arjun’s sudden question and thats when she saw Sakshi’s changed avatar!

Sakshi’s  naughty self took over her for an instant and cooked up a story, “woh kya hai na Arjun, aaj karwaa chauth hai na? So maine bhi apne boy friend keliye vrath rakha hai....ussne pyar se yeh sab bheja toh main manaa nahi kar paayi! isiliye for a change pehen li”

Arjun couldn’t believe what he just heard.....he narrowed his eyebrows and thought to himself, “boy friend?” but he didn’t voice that out....He showed a "You are crazy" expression and posed indifference!

He glared at her and then turned away from her not wanting her to know what his real thoughts were!

Pushing that topic away, Arjun tried to focus on the case......It was a crunch situation and was boggling all their minds.....All immersed back into the case as they wanted to catch hold of the ruthless brutal killer as soon as possible....

The safety of the girls in the city was at stake!

********************************************

It was a horrible day for the team....Running from one lead to another, they somehow tracked down to the killer! His latest victim was saved before getting killed due to the brilliant instincts of Arjun and the fast paced act of the entire team......

That night after the horrible case was solved and the serial psycho killer was arrested, the team came back to office!

All were in a terrible state of mind seeing such brutal killings of innocent girls and one almost murder scene!

****************************************************

As Arjun sat twirling his pen in the conference room, he saw Sakshi coming in....She came to pick the files that she had left there.....

As she gathered up the files, Arjun suddenly voiced sarcastically, “vrath thodh li?”

Sakshi was stunned by his sudden question......she took all the files in her hand but not before removing the mangalsutra and putting it into her bag....

She turned to Arjun and chuckled innocently, “Arjun, main toh uss auto waale se bacchne keliye...”

Before she could complete, he completed it for her flaring up, “usse bacchne keliye jhoota naatak kiya aur mujhse bhi jhoot kaha, huh?”

Sakshi was shocked by his sudden anger.....she had done it for her safety but then her naughty mind had played a small game, a harmless lie but she didn’t understand why was he so bothered by it!

She tried to explain, “Arjun main toh bas....”

Arjun stood up and in 2 steps stood inches away from her...his eyes fuming and if eyes could burn someone down, she would have been a handful of ashes now.....

Arjun questioned, “maine toh bas kya Sakshi Anand.....harr waqt harr cheez mein mazaag karna tumaara aadat hogi parr yeh sab mazaag mujhse nahi....kya karna chahthi thi tum?? Mujhe jealous karna chahthi thi, huh?”

Sakshi crossed her hands across her chest and faced him boldly thinking to herself, “toh yeh problem hai janaab ka, huh? Abi dikaathi hoom”

Thinking that in her mind, she replied with a grin, “maine toh bas ek mazaag sochkar woh sab kahaa tha....par lagtha hai iss mazaag ka kuch zyaadha hi asar hua hai tum parr Arjun......kyun? Why are you even bothered? Main mangal sutra pehenoon ya sindoor, mere boyfriend hai ya nahi....inn sab se tumhe kyun farq padtha hai??”

He didn’t have an answer for that......she was right..why was he asking her all this? Why was he getting affected?

He just stood silent, when she urged further, “bolo Arjun, kyun farq padtha hai? I thought that i don’t even exist for you.....”

Arjun glared at her for a long moment before pushing her away angrily, “nahi....mujhe koyi farq nahi padtha.....Just get lost from here...”

She could see that he had pushed her away not wanting to face her or her questions or perhaps the reality that everything about her mattered to him now! 

He was running away from the reality....the real truth!

She grinned at that thought before gathering her belongings which lay scattered muttering to herself, “haan haan jaa rahi hoom.....meri boy friend wait kar raha hoga....vrath jo kholna hai.....OMG, kitna bhook lagi hai....chaand bhi intezaar kar raha hoga.....”

Turning to him, she winked at him naughtily voicing, “good night Arjun....bye”

She walked away humming the song “mere kwaabon mein jo aaye....aake mujhe le jaaye....”

He fumed from within as he kept looking at the crazy girl who had just left him speechless by her questions! Or perhaps, he was angry because he had started realizing the real answer for her questions! And also realized the real reason for his anger!

*************************************

Part2:

Days passed by and Arjun’s indifference and arrogance hadn’t come downhill. What was more surprising was that it didn’t climb uphill either!

Sakshi ignored him totally and just focussed on her work.

A new case had arrived...a murder case of a 24 year old girl was reported. She was brutally stabbed with a dagger for almost 16 times proving that the killer had some vengeance or anger towards the girl.

Clues were collected and all of it pointed to a handicapped old lady who walked with the help of crutches or a guy who dressed up that way.

As they dug deeper, they were shocked to know that in the last 5 years, more than 10 girls were murdered in the same manner in different cities and by coincidence, all of them had been to Lonavala for their honeymoon.

Soon they cornered out the point that the entire mystery revolved around a honeymoon resort there. All couples had stayed there!

So the killer had to be linked to that resort.

To find out more, they plan an undercover operation. Since Shree was badly injured, Arjun had to pose as the husband. Moreover, he didn’t want to risk anybody else.

It was decided that Aisha would play the wife because Arjun felt that even in a risky situation, she could fight the killer for saving herself.

The next morning, as Arjun waited for Aisha, he got a call from her saying that her dad was critically ill and admitted in hospital. Though Arjun was frustrated, he didn’t show it because he knew that it wasnt anybody’s fault. He asked Aisha to be with her father and cut the call.

He had to cancel this undercover operation and hatch some new plan for nailing the killer.

Thats when his eyes fell on Sakshi who was typing something in her laptop unaware of what the super cop was planning for her.

He thought to himself as he walked to her desk, “Why not her? Now that Aisha wasnt there, Sakshi was the only choice for the newly wedded bride. Moreover, she had that innocent look which could attract the killer’s attention”

Arjun: Sakshi, Aisha ki dad hospital mein hai.....toh tum mere saat chalo...

Sakshi was now worried for Aisha and she thought that Arjun was calling her to go to the hospital and immediately stood up closing her laptop, “haan haan chalo...”

She sprinted behind Arjun not knowing where he was taking her...

Along the drive Sakshi felt a little weird as to where he was going...they were driving towards her house.

He stopped at her gates and turned to her...she looked at him confused and he glared at her and voiced, “aise kya dekh rahe ho.....jaldi jao aur ek din keliye bag pack karke aao....log honeymoon keliye aise hi khule aam nahi jaayenge na?”

Sakshi let a sigh of shock and total disbelief, “HONEYMOON? Kaun?? I mean kiska honeymoon?”

Arjun replied angrily and without much forethought, “humaara, aur kiska?”

She rolled her eyes in total shock not even realizing what he was meaning, “WHAT??”

Arjun hissed in anger when he saw her ignorance and thought that she was acting so...but then explained in detail correcting her misunderstands ”SAKSHI. hum dono undercover mission pe jaa rahe hai...uss resort par. Aisha nahi hai toh tumhe aana hoga. Ab baat Samjhi ya Samjaavum?”

Then it all dawned upon her. She enquired,”main?”

Arjun: haan tum....kyun koyi problem hai?

Sakshi: nahi problem toh nahi......[she thinks to herself, “aise akdu husband ke saat honeymoon pe jaavungi toh pukka woh killer mujhe hi target karega”]

Arjun: then go....we don’t have time....

Sakshi stepped out muttering to herself, “tum toh gayi Sakshi....woh killer ya iss ACP ke haathon mera anth toh pukka hai!”

Arjun heard her rantings and enquired as if threatening her, “kya?”

Sakshi closed the door of the car with a bang and replied with a formal smile, “kuch nahi....bas yahi kaha ke perfect plan hai!”

She didn’t stop there for one more second as his angry glare burned her......but before running into her home, she voiced to tease him, “Arjun, aise ghurte rahoge toh mere husband kam aur college principal zyaadha lagoge...”

She ran inside while he continued his glare at her retreating back......and then her remark gave him a slight grin, quite oblivious to himself....

*************************************

Part 3:

He honked impatiently after 5 minutes...and then even tried calling her but she knew why he was calling and just ignored it and took another 10 minutes to come out.

As she expected, he was in the same usual glaring state when she got into the car.
She gave him a cute smile and mocked him, "tum kabhi muskura nahi sakthe na? Remember I am your wife now!"

 Arjun smirked and in an impulse voices, "Only in your dreams Miss Sakshi Anand!"

Sakshi didn't bother to reply but just tried to open the door when he enquired, "kahaan jaa rahi ho?"

Sakshi: tumne kaha tha na...Only in your dreams...isiliye andhar sone jaa rahi hoom...aur aaraam se dream karungi...[she showed a funny face at him and he couldn't help a chuckle at that]

Before she got out, he grabbed her back and locked the door...he was still glaring at her while she sarcastically enquired, "ab kya hua? Let me go and dream...waise bhi yeh couple banne ka sapna, [when he hissed in boiling anger, she corrected] I mean undercover plan tumaara hi tha...not mine Arjun!" [grins at him playfully]

Her grin annoyed him but then he chose to ignore and thats when he noticed what she was wearing...

She was wearing a light pink color saree, also a chain and mangal sutra...some bangles and sindoor too...she looked like a real bride...and he wouldn't admit but she looked beautiful...absolutely gorgeous enough to make any stone melt! To his own shock, she looked desirable and very pretty! Perhaps, for the first time, he had given her a closer second look and his eyes just got glued there...

He rubbished the thoughts and averted his gaze...rather, he brought back his trademark glares...He zoomed out the car past the gates trying to divert his attention from her...

But he couldn't stop himself from annoyingly asking and trying to put the blame on her again for his loss of control, "yeh sab kya hai? [When she looked enquiringly, he pointed to her saree and jewellery] yeh sab??

Sakshi smiled and replied, "woh kya hai na? Jab shaadi karungi toh aisa hi kuch pehenoongi...isiliye socha abi practice karlooom...waise bhi nayi naveli dulhan jaisi lagna chahiye na?"

Arjun was super pissed off with her crazy reply and voiced, "Why are you over doing it? We are just acting...I hope you realize that Sakshi! "

Sakshi didn't give up, "toh phir ghaadi rokho aur mujhe yahi utharne dho...get another wife who will dress up according to your whims and fancies Arjun!"

When he glared, she corrected, "I mean duplicate waali, acting keliye..."

He shook his head in total disbelief and rage while she wasn't done with her taunts, "waise tum aaj kuch zyaadha hi smart dikh rahe ho...white shirt aur blue jeans mein khaafi hot aur dulha jaisa ho! Bas teek se shave kar dete tho accha hota...mera matlab, shaadi ke baadh, honeymoon pe koyi devadas toh nahi bannke ghoomega, right?"

She winked at him while he stared at her untimely wits!

He taunted her, "thodi dher chup beit sakthe ho?? Waise nayi naveli dulhan ka sabse important baat hai chup chaap beitna...tum usse practice karogi toh behtar hoga...I mean abi keliye bhi aur tumaare future keliye bhi...Samjhe yaa Samjhaavum?"

His glares shut her up but not before replying once more, "haan haan...wahi karne waali hoom..."
She put her fingers on her lips and teased him a bit..."ab jab tak mere pati dev kuch bolne ko nahi kahenga tab tak aise hi chup beitungi!"

He shook his head in disbelief and ignored her for a while else he knew he would lose his sanctity...He concentrated on the road and to his surprise, she also decided to ignore him...but she switched on the radio instead to keep herself silent...He tried to switch off but then she fought to let it on...he gave up...

SRK hits were rolling out...

Hay Hay Re Hay Hay Yeh Ladka Hay Hay Re Hay [Hay]
Karta Nadaaniyaan Kyon Poochho To Hay [ Yo ]
Hay Hay Re Hay Hay Yeh Ladka Hay Hay Re [ Hay ]
Karta Nadaaniyaan Kyon Poochho To Hay [ Yeach ]
Kabhi Yeh Humse Ladta Hai Kabhi Jhagadta Hai
Koi Paas Is Ke Na Aana
( Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana Hai Deewana
[ Deewana Deewana Deewana] ) -2

She looked at him when she heard the song and felt how apt it was for him...

Hay Hay Re Hay Yeh Ladki Hay Hay Re Hay [ Hay ]
Karti Nadaaniyaan Kyon Poochho To Hay [ Yo ]
Kabhi Yeh Humse Ladti Hai Kabhi Akadti Hai
Karo Door Se Chhed Khaani
(Yeh Ladki Hai Deewani Hai Deewani
[ Deewani Deewani Deewani ] ) -2

He didn't fail to notice her taunting looks for the song and he also looked at her meaning that she wasn't any better and she was an expert fighter cock!

But she was busy looking out through the window as they left behind the busy traffic and huge buildings...they were zooming past the lush greenery which showcased the beautiful country side...

Her silence sort of confused him and he assumed to himself that it was the beginning of a storm perhaps...and he also sighed to himself at the thought of being with this partially insane crazy girl for the next 2 days!

A series of songs kept rolling out...

A romantic number started off and as if hit by some electric shock, both turned to look at each other at the same time...their eyes locked for a long moment before he snapped and turned back to the steering..

Arre Re Arre Kuchh Ho Gaya Koi Na Pehchaana
Arre Re Arre Banta Hai To Ban Jaaye Afsaana

Haath Mera Thaam Lo Saath Jab Tak Ho
Baat Kuchh Hoti Rahe Baat Jab Tak Ho
Saamne Baithe Rahe Tum Raat Jab Tak Ho
Arre Re Arre Ye Kya Hua Maine Na Ye Jaana

She felt his touch on her hands slowly tenderly making her blush...she turned around to face him...their eyes locked again and his fingers entwined with hers...and they were gazing at each other passionately...perhaps the situation and the private moments were taking their toll on them...
She couldn't help a smile as he tightened his grip and didn't allow her to snap out...the romantic climate, a slight drizzle were all adding an extra charm and flavor to the moments...

Naam Kya Hai Kya Kahein Dil Ke Mausam Ko
Aag Jaise Lag Gayi Aaj Shabnam Ko
Aise Lagta Hai Kisine Chhoo Liya Humko
Arre Re Arre Ye Kya Hua Maine Na Ye Jaana
Arre Re Arre Ban Jaaye Na Kahin Koi Afsaana

Arre Re Arre Kuchh Ho Gaya Koi Na Pehchaana
Arre Re Arre Banta Hai To Ban Jaaye Afsaana

A sudden brake, snapped her out...she smiled and smacked herself as she realized that she had been dreaming while he was busy wading through the array of goats which had passed the road to the green pastures...
She couldn't help giving one loving look to his side before turning away from him and kept her mind gripped so that it doesn't slip away again like her heart did some time ago...

Tum Chale Jaao Zara Hum Sambhal Jaayein
Dhadkanein Dil Ki Sahi Naam Cahl Jaayein
Waqt Ke Aage Kahin Na Hum Nikal Jaayein
Arre Re Arre Ye Kya Hua Koi Na Pehchaana

He glanced to her side as soon as she looked away and he felt that he had heard something from her...was it his imagination? Or was it his desire to hear her say something to him?
He didn't know but then his ego wouldn't let him accept the truth that he was imagining only what he was desiring...

Hum Mein Tum Mein Kuchh To Hai Kuchh Nahin Hai Kya
Aur Kuchh Ho Jaaye To Kuchh Yakeen Hai Kya
Dekh Lo Ye Dil Jahaan Tha Ye Wahin Hai Kya
Arre Re Arre Ye Kya Hua Maine Na Ye Jaana
Arre Re Arre Ban Jaaye Na Kahin Koi Afsaana

Arre Re Arre Kuchh Ho Gaya Koi Na Pehchaana
Arre Re Arre Banta Hai To Ban Jaaye Afsaana
Lalalalala...
 *************************************
By the end of the song, they were at the honeymoon resort in Lonavala...

As he slowly parked the car, she got down amazed by the beautiful view...She forgot all about him and stood before the resort trying to take in the fresh breeze and the natural beauty...

He sat in the car and looked at her...his looks become softer and tender...and his mind oblivious to himself again gets lost in her beauty...

The saree clutched her perfect curves aptly and accentuated her soft feminine features...her childlike expressions amused him...

Thats when he saw some guys standing at a distance drooling at her...they were also passing some comments on her...and she wasnt even noticing all that and was engrossed in her sight seeing...His anger soared high!

He couldn't take it...he had an urge to give his SYS to them with his revolver but he knew he had to behave like a civilian and not as a cop...

He just got down of the car and walked straight to her...

Pulling her to himself, his hand automatically went around her shoulders protectively...possessively...

She was stunned, shocked...no...all that would be understatements...

She looked at him as his hands slid down to her waist...their eyes locked but she snapped out and tried to free herself voicing slowly, "ab tum iss role ko over do kar rahe ho Arjun...leave me..."

He wasn't in a mood to obey that...the guys drooling at her, her beauty which he had just noticed, their role play, and of course the romantic situation and climate were having its effect on him!

*************************************

Part 4:

His fingers curled up her soft bare waist causing a tingle in her entire body making her heart skip beats and its interrupted loud thuds were audible to her but her logical self kept warning her and also made her wriggle out from his tight hold…Such proximity and intimacy will only kill her! And she could see that he was making all attempts to do that!

He turned to her side and saw that she was already staring at his side trying to figure out what his intentions were…..

Their faces were just inches away as their eyes locked intensely…..she quickly snapped and spoke in a low yet stern flared up voice, “mujhe chodo Arjun”

She didn’t want to attract attention from anyone around but still there were some onlookers who were watching the romantic scene of the much in love newlywed couple!

They were gazing at Arjun and Sakshi….few were giggling and whispering to each other about how much they were in love and made for each other that he couldn’t leave her for even a minute.

Arjun seemed to be enjoying her struggle though her heart was murmuring something else to him….yes, her loud thudding heart was obvious to him…..he sarcastically taunted, “tum bhi yahi chahthi thi na ke main tumaara husband jaisa behave karoom….woh bhi naye naye shaadi hua hai toh yeh sab toh……”

She rolled her eyes and glared at him while he continued his taunt, “apne pati ko aise jalaana teek baat nahi hai darling”

She glared and shot back, “Stop it ARJUN, aise endearments bhi tumaare mooh se insults jaisa lag raha hai!”

Arjun smirked thoroughly enjoying this and replied, “acchaa…insult jaisa hai?…then what else do you expect from me?”

Tightening his grip around her and dragging her closer as if to kiss her, he enquired making her shudder, “yeh?”

He could feel her body warming up to his intimacy and crimson red colouring her face as she couldn’t help blushing!

He liked the expressions on her face that screamed out aloud the impact of his intimate closeness. But his arrogant and yes a tiny bit of naughtiness added to it made him grin and free her away from him, “par filaal mujhe sirf case solve karna hai…..”

She felt dropped like a hot potato as she was in a dreamy trance by what he said and did….

She stepped a little from him while he grabbed her wrist voicing, “You grab too much attention Sakshi……chalo mere saat….”

He didn’t wait for her reply but then dragged her along despite her weak protests to free herself…She didn’t understand any of his changed attitudes….

At the reception, he enquired about their bookings….

Shree had made their booking online as Mr and Mrs Dixit.

Sakshi stood behind him and looked around trying to get an idea of the surroundings and the dangers that lurked there.

Oblivious to them, somebody had been watching them both from the time, their car entered the resort.

Somehow, her innocent beautiful face attracted him to her and instantly he knew that she was the one he needed…her pretty face was etched in those intense eyes. He didn’t move his gaze from her as he walked towards the reception.

He was talking to the receptionist and to her husband who stood there enquiring but his eyes never left her…

Arjun found it weird when Neeraj enquired, “Welcome sir…..I am Neeraj, yahaan ka manager…..I am always at your service mam!”

Arjun raised his eyebrows noticing Neeraj’s look at Sakshi and his stressing the last bit and the “mam”… He could instantly sense that something was terribly wrong but then he couldn’t jump into conclusions just by this. He might be a harmless flirty character too!

Arjun put his arm over Sakshi as if claiming his ownership on her and replied, “Thank you Mr Neeraj. I am sure me and my wife would have a memorable time here”

Neeraj bowed acknowledging it as he moved to the reception and got a particular room’s key and passed it onto Sakshi. Arjun stared at Neeraj’s hand stretched towards Sakshi and then took it himself from his hand muttering a quick thanks.

Neeraj didn’t fail to notice the slight tensions brewing between the couple and that only added to his firm decision…..He smiled at Sakshi as Arjun and Sakshi moved to the elevator….

And our sharp ACP was quick to notice those changing expressions in Neeraj as well….Nothing escapes Arjun Rawte!

As they ascend up in the lift, Sakshi manages to break away from Arjun’s hold glaring at him.

Only if he knew what feelings and sensations were his touches and intimate gestures triggering inside her……If he didn’t stop this, then her poor heart will break into a million pieces when he gets back to his akdu Rawte form when they leave this resort.

And she knew well that however close he acts now, he wouldn’t think once before he reverts back to his indifference and that would leave her heart broken!

So it was her necessity to keep him at tab and at a safe distance from her. She couldn’t let him come so close….

She didn’t even look to his side as they walked the corridor down to their room….

He unlocked and let her in…..By then, the waiter brought in their luggage as well…..

Once he left, Arjun closed the door and tried to survey the room but in a casual manner…his gut feeling said that they were being watched closely….so there must be a camera somewhere…..

Meanwhile Sakshi went towards the rest room…..As she opened the door, she felt something fall onto her body…..and to her disgust, it was a living creature which wriggled causing her to jump up and down startled and ofcourse screaming “ARJUN”……

She could feel it moving inside her saree…..she quickly started shaking and flipping her pleats and in an impulse, she took off her pleats….and shook it vigorously not able to handle the creepy feeling which she felt inside her.

Arjun heard her startled call and rushed to her assuming that she had seen something terrible in the restroom. He voiced, “Sakshi kya hua?”

Seeing her in that form, he was shocked and tried to turn away from her but then a thought suddenly stopped him. They were in a room where there could be a hidden camera….and she was standing right there without the pleats on her and this crazy girl had no sense as to what she was doing…..

He didn’t think anything else but just save her from those prying eyes….but yes without causing any suspicion or doubts to the person who was watching them and only one thing could ensure both….….

He ran towards her and pinned her to the restroom door covering her in his embrace…..It would only look like a romantic gesture to anyone who saw it……

*************************************

Part 5:

The moment he closed in on her, Mr Lizard crawled away due to the heat that was building up in their bodies.....cupid bannke silently nikal gaye.....Good boy!

His hands protectively went around her wrapping her in his embrace.....She shivered and looked into his eyes.......She felt that she would crumble down to the floor any moment as her legs shivered by his close intimacy....

To make it more worse for her to handle, his arms crushed her further making his chest crush against hers causing weird sensations inside her body......She just wanted to give in to those sensations and temptations....His eyes were speaking different things to her and it was nothing close to the cold glares and indifference he used to convey to her previously......Now it was all different asking, wishing for something from her........For once, she just wanted to crash into his arms nodding a silent yes to all  that he was asking for her.....

She could hear her own thudding heart....the pulse rate must have increased n folds now.....his heart beats weren’t any different....

But her logical mind kept her grounded and tried putting a dam around her crazy heart stopping her from doing something really crazy.....her mind knew that anything which happens in the spur of these moments would only cause pain and regret tomorrow!

She tried to step back as an attempt to free away from him but she only bumped on the rest room door which was behind her.....Now she was kind of pinned between him and the door......the pressure built up such that the door gave away as she had already opened the bolt of it....and both of them together went into the rest room....his hands clutched her more while her hands too grasped his shirt in the impulse.

************************************

Elsewhere in a closed chamber like room, the man hissed in frustration and banged the table in anger.......the romance between the couple seemed to have pissed him off big time....she was his...only his.....how could the guy touch her?

He was hell bound to snatch her from the guy.....either alive or dead.....His devilish laughter subsided when he felt a gentle touch on his back.......his mother had come back again to warn him...He didn’t let her speak and voiced gently....”maa iss baar mujhe apne dil ki iccha poora karne dijiye...I want her maa....i love her maa....”

His mother spoke up, “woh shaadi shuda hai beta...usse chod dho.......kitne galthiyaan karoge?? Bohat hogaya.....ab bas...sambal jaa.....”

He argued back, his anger growing slowly, “nahi maa....woh usske saat khush nahi hai.....main usse uss jaanwar pati se cheen loonga aur sambaal ke rakhunga apne paas......humesha humesha keliye.....main usse bachaa loonga maa....bachaa loonga”

As his madness intensified and his evil laughter crossed the limits, his mother or perhaps the human side of him vanished from his vision.......

Only the evil in him remained which was determined to snatch away Sakshi!

He had the illusion that he was saving all such young brides from the clutches of their wicked cruel husbands........He felt that a death was better than the life they were leading! Death was his way of saving them forever.....

************************************

Unaware of the plan which was being woven around them, they stood in each others arms.....her saree lay all along the floor from the bedroom to the restroom......

He didn’t know what the closeness was doing to him....all he knew was that he didn’t want to let go off her...though he had hugged her to save her from the camera, once he touched her and she crashed onto him, he felt an intense pull towards her....his dormant masculine desires seemed to have woken up that very second and he had pulled her further into him.......

Her doll like obedience and silence made him want for more......his fingers entwined each other making the hold stronger......

His gaze, which was on her pretty eyes lowered down mindlessly.....He wasn’t thinking about anything else except her....her eyes, her lips, all her feminine features seem to enchant him in a magical spell ......as if hypnotized!

His eyes stopped at her pink full lips which sort of invited him closer to it.....her lips trembled with just his lusty gaze on them.....He knew that she wouldn’t stop him from kissing her but something stopped him from closing that little distance between them....

But his gaze stepped down from her lips and before he could wander lower down her neck, she snapped out and pushed him away with all her strength.....

Hugging herself to cover her up, she turned away from him screaming, “How dare you Arjun! saare mard ek jaise hai....unnke mann mein bas ek hi cheez baraa hua hai......”

She stopped not able to even voice it out due to the embarrassment she felt.....

Arjun wasn’t going to take that crap from her....or perhaps it was his ego which felt hurt and insulted talking to her......He shot back glaring, “haan Miss Sakshi Anand.....ek hi cheez hai sab mard ke dimaag mein.....but for that, I don’t have to try any hard.....neither do i have to bring you here......I can get that from you anytime I need......and I bet that even you wouldn’t stop me......kuch force ya cheen na nahi padega....you will give in happily......want to test that out?”

He moved dangerously close to her...

Sakshi stepped back pulling up and wrapping her saree around her somehow and replied furiously, “YOU DIRTY MIND!!!!....maine kabhi nahi socha tha ke tum aise honge Arjun!”

She didn’t wait for his reply but walked out of the rest room......He tried to grab her just before the door of the room.....

But she freed off her hands from him and stormed out of the room yelling, “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!”

That sort of gave the psycho guy a contended and happy feeling.....now he could get her for himself easily.....He switched on his other monitors to track her movements and find out her whereabouts......

She walked aimlessly for some time and then chose to sit on a bench near the lawn area.....

Though her head boiled in anger, she knew that somewhere, she was at fault too.....her body was yet to come out of the effect of the passion which he had triggered off!

Even her continuous tears weren’t enough to relax her down or cool her head......

Perhaps she had given him too much liberty and also the notion that she would jump into his bed just at his one signal.....yeah she did get affected by his closeness....She did get affected by his gazes at her......but all that wasn’t the way he had perceived it......Her thoughts stopped as she felt disgusted by what he had told to her......none would understand what it was.....not even him.....well even she hadn’t realized it completely....then what can be expected from him?

It was her love for him that made her react to all his advances.....but he misunderstood all of that.........He was like any other man.....nothing different!

On the other side, he was fuming at whatever happened.....her angry replies to him....her walking out were all reasons but the most important reason was his own action.......He was angry at his own self.....yes he had faltered......how could he talk all that to her???? She was his team member....he had degraded her and insulted her......he had done that to hide his own mistake....no not a mistake, it was a sin.....Lust, that was what he called his feelings for her in those moments and for him that was a sin.....he felt ashamed for having done that....she had come with him on this mission trusting him....he had not only broken her trust but also broken her down with his rude insulting words!

He had to apologize......Arjun Rawte never apologized but this time, he had to.....he just had to.....but where was she?

Even in this apologetic state of mind, he didn’t leave his taunts and mocks for Miss publicist......He muttered under his breath, “Self importance claim karna koyi isse seekhe!” as he walked out of the room searching for her.....afterall, he had to cajole and bring back his naaraaz dulhan!

[To be continued]
