Chapter 18: Chapter 18

"Three days passed. Now you don't have any option left." Nick was standing closer to Sanaya. Not like before, she was standing still.

Her facial expressions did not change at all. With a smile, she announced as she looked confident, "I have my answer for you." As per her facial expressions, he could not understand what could be her answer for him.

He glanced at her, waiting for her answer. Sanaya let out a sigh and asserted, "I am ready to marry you but...."

"But?" He narrowed his eyebrows as he raised a question.

Sanaya answered, gawking into his eyes, "But we will get married, both mine and your culture and traditions. I want to celebrate my Bengali pre-wedding rituals."

"Bagn... Bang-oli-bangoli what?"

"It's Bengali, not bangoli." As she explained she looked at him getting annoyed. Nick cleared his throat as he said, "Okay. Bingali."

"Bengali!" She gazed at him. Nick cleared his throat again as he said, "Bingali?"

"Bengali."

"Bengali...".

"You can't pronounce it. I wonder why are you insisting to marry me." Sanaya took the file from the table.

"I will arrange everything then." Hearing him Sanaya nodded her head. "Strange! She is too calm..." Nick thought she might try to say no but here she was... He kept looking at her as she walked out...

Sanaya was looking at Nick when he was talking to someone on the call. As she saw him look at her she nodded her head holding her cell phone near her ear.

In a minute as she looked in the direction she was surprised. She looked around to see him but he was nowhere in her insight. Biting her lips she thought, "Where did he go?"

"Searching for me?" Hearing the familiar husky voice all of a sudden she turned around to get surprised. Keeping his hands in his pockets he asked her, "What do you want to say?"

"I...I don't..." She announced, startling.

Nick stood next to her as he announced, "Don't say you don't have anything to say because I know you were checking on me continuously."

"I... " Sanaya looked here and there, trying to find an excuse.

"What? Can't find a perfect excuse?" Hearing him as she looked at him she moved away. His very stare at her from closer made her startled.

He chuckled and she said, "You know I don't love you, so why do you want to marry me?"

"Love?"

"Hmm." She looked at him.

"It's not an excuse." Saying so he walked away when she followed him, "Hey..."

"Nick."

"Yeah, Nick. See can it be that you loved somebody but you did not get her and that's why you..." Sanaya saw his feet steps stopped so she looked up and saw he stopped walking. He was standing like a statue.

Thinking of maybe her throwing stone without knowing it might work so she continued, "See not all the girls are the same."

Seeing him looking at her Sanaya felt chill getting down her spines. She stepped back and gulped when Nick smiled and that smile was giving her shiver running down her spines.

He spoke in a cold tone while looking at her, "You are wrong. I am not marrying you because of another woman. But you are right at one thing..." Sanaya was waiting for him to continue.

Nick had his fists clenched in his pockets when he said, "I know someone who is indeed a reason for my..." And she kept waiting but he never continued as he walked in the elevator.

The elevator door was closing when Sanaya was looking at him. Something cold was in those killer eyes of his. He seemed to be without any emotions.

Sanaya kept looking at him until the door closed. "What happened to him? I was just being... " Hitting her head she sighed.

As she turned around and saw Kyle she looked at him. Then what he told her took a bait to appear in her head.

"He will keep you happy, even if you don't want but he won't leave you an option to escape. Don't worry if you think he might have some disorders, he is fit and fine. I think he wants to have a family, I am not sure if he loves you though but he will keep you like a princess..."

The help she got from him was nothing. Seeing Kyle walk towards her she got annoyed. She decided she would just ignore his presence.

When she was about to pass him he called her name and she stopped walking.

"Miss Sanaya," Kyle spoke.

With a smile forcing herself Sanaya said, "Yes, Mr. Kyle. What can I do for you?"

Kyle looked around as if he was afraid of getting seen by someone. He said, "Please check the envelope in the file on your computer."

As he was about to walk away she asked, "Wait, what?" But without answering her he just walked away.

"What did he mean?" Sanaya walked towards the elevator immediately. Getting out of the elevator she ran to her desk. Searching she got a red file. As she opened the envelope she was...

Sanaya was walking on the street alone, she was near her home. Suddenly feeling pain she took off her heel and then she looked at the sky full of stars. Her life was going to change. The thought made her sigh.

Clara has noticed Sanaya was too silent. She did not even say anything but was getting food in her mouth.

Clearing her throat Clara said enthusiastically, "Hey! Have you thought of anything? I mean what to say to him?"

Sanaya gazed at her. Taking a spoonful of food in her mouth she said, "I am going to..."

"Yes, I have a solution too." Without letting her finish Clara said so when Sanaya said, "I am going to agree."

"What?" Clara looked at her with utter shock. Sanaya nodded her head.

Clara chuckled and said, "Don't be kidding. I am serious here, gurl!"

"I am serious too... I am done eating, good night." Yawning Sanaya left from there, leaving her in total surprise. Clara sighed as she touched her forehead, "What exactly happened?"

Nick walked into his room, walking slowly like a turtle. He was mumbling something, losing the tie around his neck. Pulling it out he threw it in the air then he started unbuttoning his shirt.

He walked towards the mirror while trying to pull all the buttons. He looked at the mirror as his hand stopped doing what he was doing.

He smiled, having his eyes fixed on the mirror. "Women yeah..." He chuckled. Then he widened his lips and all of a sudden he punched the mirror when the glass of the mirror broke into many pieces, reflecting his face through them.

His hand was bleeding yet he did not utter even a word. He walked towards the couch while throwing his suit on the floor that was messed with the broken glasses of the mirror.

He walked into the bathroom. Zipping up his pants Nick looked at his hand. As he saw the blood in his hand he smiled. As he had his hand touched the water he started singing a song instead of hissing in pain.

"Today is mine, tomorrow will be yours and the next day will be..." He sang under the shower when droplets of blood from the wound in his hand were flowing with the water. He kept humming slowly, "Today is mine, tomorrow will be yours my darling, and the next day..."

Suddenly hearing someone's panicked voice Nick walked towards the door then as soon as he opened the door he saw a man around twenty-seven years old.

In an annoying tone, Nick said, "Here you are again..."

"Boss, your hand... Your hand..." The man walking towards him.

Soaked in water, Nick walked towards the couch as he said, "Aiden, your girlfriend will break up with you soon if you keep coming to me, leaving your girlfriend." Saying so Nick rest his head on the sofa when he kept humming the song he was singing earlier.

The guy named Aiden ran out of the room immediately. As he left Nick looked at the floor, he could see his face on the broken pieces of glasses. He smiled and closed his eyes he started humming again...
