Chapter 136: Chapter 136
Abeer was changing his wet clothes in the guest room when he heard the knock on the door.
Thinking of his Uncle Aiden ,he granted his permission but was shocked when Khushi entered instead of Uncle Aiden.
"Hey! Arnan actually...."Khushi could not complete her sentence as words got hitched in her throat, witnessing Abeer only in a towel wrapped around his waist.
Witnessing Khushi in his Mom's saree, Abeer's heart skipped a beat and he stopped breathing for a second.
He was sure that she would look pretty in that saree but was not expecting her to look breathtaking gorgeous as she was looking.
Khushi immediately turned herself facing her back and closed her eyes in embarrassment to not make the situation awkward.
"I am so sorry. I came at the wrong time."Khushi apologized facing her back to him to which she earned a chuckle from him.
Abeer took predatory steps towards her, closing the distance between them as a predator who is ready to attack his prey.
"It's okay.", He whispered, coming close to her ears.
His warm breath near her ear sent shivers down her spine and she felt goosebumps all around her body.
She clutched her saree's border, feeling him so close to her.
"You are looking so beautiful , Khushi."He complimented her, inhaling her fragrance.
"Umm. Thank you, Arnan. But I think I should come later after you become ready.",Khushi said and started walking away from him.
"If you meet uncle Aiden in your way please send him, I want to wear my shirt but can't do it with my one hand so please send him for help."Abeer requested from behind making her halt in her way.
"Why disturb Uncle Aiden for that? I can help you with it.''Khushi offered, still closing her eyes.
"Will you really ?"Abeer asked, getting surprised.
"Of course. I promise to the Doctor I will take care of your hand.",Khushi recalled her words making Abeer smirked.
"But how will you be going to help me so far, closing your eyes?"Abeer questioned, looking at her back, smiling.
Hearing his words she opened her eyes and turned to face him, smiling awkwardly.
She took baby steps towards him, nervousness visible on her face clearly as she was rolling her saree's border continuously.
She took the shirt from the bed and came forward in his direction where Abeer was staring at her without blinking his eyes.
"Can you stop staring at me like this? I could not concentrate on my work.",Khushi suggested, avoiding his gaze.
"Your wish is my command.",Abeer said calmly and started looking at the floor instead of her.
"How can he obey me without asking any question in return?",Khushi asked herself, staring at him smilingly.
She was unaware of her own feelings for him but somewhere she liked that Abeer was giving her so much respect and comfortableness around him.
When Khushi saw Abeer was still not looking at her, she started having a close look at his body, shamelessly.
His chest and shoulders were well-defined, sculpted by hours spent in the gym.
The contours of his muscles were evident, each sinewy line revealing the strength that lay beneath his skin.
His arms bore the mark of someone who took fitness seriously, with bulging biceps and lean forearms.
His skin was tanned, hinting at hours spent outdoors, and it accentuated the chiseled features of his physique.
A network of veins criss crossed his arms.
"Any girl would go flat after witnessing his physique."Khushi mumbled after stalking him for quite a minute.
"If you are done looking at my body then please help me to wear my shirt, otherwise, I will definitely catch a cold.",Abeer said, breaking her chain of thoughts and bringing her back to reality.
Khushi started coughing when she realized she was caught red handed stalking him.
"Calm down Khushi , calm down.",Abeer rubbed her back. "Every inch of my body only belongs to you, including my soul so there is nothing you should feel shy about.",He added, tugging her hair behind her ears.
"Huh! Stand straight, let me help you.",Khushi said, changing the topic.
She started buttoning his shirt one by one when her eyes landed on his hand where fresh blood started oozing out.
"Oh! No. I should apply a new bandage to your injury.",She said, worriedly looking at his wound.
"Ah! It's nothing big. Calm down. I will apply some ointment on it later.",Abeer said, casually.
"Shut up! And tell me where is the first aid?",Khushi yelled glaring at him.
That very moment, Liam saw Khushi scolding his boss and started coughing as he could not believe his ears that his dangerous Boss was getting scolded by a lady.
Both Abeer and Khushi looked in his direction and were surprised to see Liam there.
"Boss, actually I came to take your signature on this paper.",Liam said, pointing towards the file in his hand.
"Sorry but he is not going to sign anywhere before he would apply a new bandage on his injury.",Khushi interrupted, glaring at him.
"Excuse me Ma'am but our boss never let anyone raise their voice in front of him ever. And here you dare to scold him like a baby."Liam hesitantly said.
That was when Khushi realized she was showing her right to him even when they did not share any relation together.
"I..I am sorry..",Khushi stuttered apologizing for her mistake when she realized the situation.
Abeer signaled Liam to leave them two alone and as signaled Liam left the place, closing the door behind him.
"Oops! I came at the wrong time I guess. But who was she? Who dared to mess with our Mafia boss so boldly?",Liam questioned to himself walking out of the room.
"I..I am sorry Sir.",Khushi could not complete her sentence as Abeer put his index finger on her lips.
"I don't need your sorry Khushi. In fact I love it. I love the way you are showing your right to me, by scolding me, by your care and concern for me.
Unknowingly, you started to care for me in the same way my mother used to do in my childhood.
And you know, in this world, I love my mother the most and after that it's only you, who made her place in my heart.",Abeer confessed, looking at her with so much love that anyone can read it in his eyes for her.
"I don't know how I will let you believe that I really love you and only you. I don't know how to make you fall in love with me but one thing I know for sure is I am ready to wait for you till eternity but never allow anyone else to snatch you from me.
Because you are only mine, my love."Abeer growled, near her earlobe, maintaining a distance so that she wouldn't feel comfortable.
His distance from her made her realize how much he respects her opinion and how much he cares for her comfort.
She smiled witnessing his confession as she was feeling those butterflies dancing in her stomach.
But she did not dare to utter any word in return.
"I know you are confused , I know you need time but make sure baby don't make me wait too much because the way you are flaunting your long hair in this saree, I am dying to taste you."Abeer confessed boldly, making Khushi's eyes pop out hearing his confession.
She blushed hard , not meeting his gaze as she was unable to control herself after Abeer confessed his feelings for him.
"What if I allow you to kiss me?",Khushi questioned, smiling ear to ear.
Her question surprised Abeer and he looked at her shockingly.
"What? What did you say? ",Abeer asked , thinking that he heard something wrong.
