Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Parth's POV

" Un...hunh? Do you think, I can't do that? Try me, sweetheart! C'mon, I dare you to wear those oversized clothes. " I said going very close to her.

" But... the stalker? " She asked.

" To hell with him! " I said.

" It will infuriate him and he would react... " She looked scared.

" I want him to know that we are in a relationship. I want him to know that you have me. I want him to know that he has to face me before touching you. " I said caressing her face tenderly.

" No, Parth!! I am scared. " She said shaking her head.

" Do you trust me, love?? " I asked.

" Yes, I do! But... "

" But?? Either you trust me or you don't. What do you mean, you trust me, but... ? " I said.

" I trust you. But you don't know him... I am scared for you too. We don't even know, who is he and where is he hiding?? He might be right in front of us and we are not aware. He might attack when we are least expecting it. " She said looking very tense.

I took her in my arms and hugged her tightly.

" Yes, we don't know, who is he... But he would react when he sees that you are not scared of him when he comes to know that you are in love with another. " I said.

" Why do we need to instigate him? "

" So that he comes out and react. It's high time, we can't be scared of him. I have decided to take an action now. " I said.

I packed the lunch and waited for her while she got ready. She came out wearing a long dress. It had small flowers painted on it. She was looking pretty.

Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. She was wearing the glasses.

I went to her, removed her glasses and threw them in the bin.

" Dr... Parth? "

" Shhh! No discussion!! You are looking even more beautiful now! "

" Parth... " she was saying something but I placed my finger over her mouth.

" You will not wear them. I want you to live the way a normal girl does. The way you used to before that stalker came. I want you to look like a beautiful girl, in love with a handsome man. Be yourself. " I said.

" Hmmm. "

" Let's go, honey. " I said placing my arm around her waist. She blushed.

She picked up the keys to her car but I took them and kept them back.

" You are going with me from today. " I said.

" Everyday?? What would everyone think about us? " She said.

" That I can't live away from my girlfriend. " I said and pulled her tightly in my arms. Her hand was on my chest, right over my heart.

" We don't need to display the affection, publically. " She said.

" Correction !! We do need it, to make him come out of his shell. Moreover, I want to tell everyone that you are mine!! " I said and she shook her head with a shy smile.

I started driving towards the hospital and stopped the car and bought the flowers for my love and gave it to her. Her face lit up making her look even more beautiful. She accepted them and thanked me shyly.

" Can I get a kiss in return??" I asked and she shook her head shyly, but I pecked her cheek. Heat rose in her face, making her look more beautiful.

We reached the hospital and went to the department.

She placed the flowers in a vase and started reading. I got to work in my office.

I heard Disha coming in and complimenting Riya. She thanked shyly. Disha even teased her for the flowers.

" Oh, my God! Flowers? Wow!! They are beautiful!! Who sent them?" Disha asked her but she didn't say anything.

" C'mon!! Tell me...Boyfriend??" She asked.

" Hmmm! " I heard the sound from Riya.

" Wow!! Tell me about him. " Disha asked.

I was waiting for her answer but it did not come.

Disha kept teasing and asking her about her boyfriend but she didn't tell my name to her.

Ufff!! My shy girlfriend...

********

I had a few lectures to deliver and when I was coming back, I went to meet Sid. He was a bit free so I told him everything. He was so angry after hearing everything.

" How can some be so cheap?? I want to beat him to a pulp. "

" Imagine, I am so frustrated. I have a doubt that it could be Dr Vidyut. But need to find some proof. " I said.

" We will get it. Poor Riya! I am feeling so bad for her. Imagine her situation, she was going through so much and yet she could not tell anyone. " He said.

" I swear, I will borrow Gautam bhai's gloves and kill that stalker. " I said.

" No, we will call himself to beat that cheap man." He said and we pitied the stalker if bhai comes.

He was already upset as Shruti's dad denied his proposal to get married to Shruti. Shruti said in front of everyone that in that case, she would never marry anyone as she was in love with Siddharth only.

But still, she was avoiding him as she didn't want to hurt her dad and at the same time could not face Sid, who was madly in love with her and was waiting for her to get married to him.

After we talked about a few more things, I came back.

Riya's POV

It was almost ten days, since the day Parth gave me the new phone and number and I never got any call or message from my stalker.

Tanvi was a bit upset with me that I rejected Vidyut's proposal.

" He is such a good man, he is my first cousin for god's sake. I have known him since the day I was born. He is a very loving and caring person. How could you do that to him?" She said with a hard tone.

" Yes, he is a good man and your cousin, but that is not enough for me to say yes to his proposal. I don't feel connected to him. I feel that my heart beats only for Dr Parth. I love him and can't even think of marrying another person. " I said truthfully.

" But how did you fall for him all of a sudden? You never said anything about your feelings for him earlier. " She asked.

" I was not sure about my feelings or what did Parth feel about me, but when Dr Vidyut asked for my hand from my parents, we realised our feelings for each other. I love Parth and he loves me back. " I said and she nodded. Though she was happy for me but was a bit upset as well because according to her, Vidyut was feeling very heartbroken after I denied getting married to him.

Disha and Tanvi asked for my number. I said that I don't even have a phone. But Tanvi asked for my number many times.

" How can you not have a phone?? How do you contact your parents? "

" I call them once in a day. "

" But what if they want to contact you urgently?? "

" Then they call in the office or Dr Parth. " I said.

" Oh, yeah!! Dr Parth!! Of course!" She said sarcastically. I ignored her.

********

Parth was taking very good care of me and was being so overprotective even in the hospital that people had started talking that maybe we were in a relationship.

I requested him to Keep away but he said," It doesn't matter to me what others think, your safety is the most important thing right now. As it is we were going to get married, so don't worry and chill! "

" Tanvi has been asking for my number, persistently. Shall I..." I asked.

" No!! " He didn't even let me complete my sentence.

" Let's talk to your parents and fix a day to go and meet my grandfather. Let's make it on Friday so that we all can enjoy the serene beauty of Rajasthan." He said.

" This Friday?? "

" Yes, even Sid and Shruti are going to Jodhpur for a wedding. "

" Ok, let's call dad and fix the day. " I said.
