Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Shanaya Oberoi

I just returned from the botique from where I had to pick up Myra's engagement dress and Dad called me.

"Shanaya. I need to talk to you." He said.

"Yeah." I said and walked towards him.

"Let's have a walk at the backyard." He said and I just nodded.

"So how do you like Adarsh?" He asked and I looked at him furrowing my brows.

"He is a nice guy but why are you asking?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just wanted to know. What more do you think about him?" Dad asked.

"He is responsible, mature, soft spoken person. We rarely find such men now a days." I said chuckling.

And then too my heart wants that one jerk who is nothing but a pain in my ass!

"Okay." Dad said with a smile and then we had a normal chat about engagement preparations which was going to be held tomorrow.

.

.

.

"Myra!" I yelled entering Myra's room.

It is her engagement today and this bitch is busy playing some game on her mobile.

"What?" She asked annoyed because I disturbed her game apparently.

I just rolled my eyes and dragged her from the bed.

"I want you to take a shower in 5 minutes. The beautician will be here anytime." I said glaring at her.

"Why do I need a beautician? Daksh is already seen me in worst conditions." She said scowling but one stern glare from me and she rushed to the bathroom.

The people I am surrounded by are absolutely crazy..!

I got ready and talking on call with one of the wedding co-ordinators I was walking towards the backyard where the function was to be held.

But I bumped into something, I would rather say a wall.

Ofcourse!

Who could it be?

He held my waist to make me steady and I glared at him.

He just chuckled and said

"How do you manage to come & fall in my arms everytime?"

"I don't have time for your bullshit." I said trying to push him behind.

Keyword, Trying!

He held me more tight and said

"You're attempts are going to be futile, Jaan." He whispered and I looked at him wide eyed.

Shameless Jerk..!

"You have no right to call me that." I said smacking his chest.

"Why not? Just because we are not together doesn't mean my feelings have evaporated in thin air." He said rolling his eyes.

"Shana." Mom called me but luckily she was walking towards us and didn't see in what compromising position were we in.

"Leave me. Mom is coming." I whispered.

"I'll leave you. Only if you promise to dance with me today." He said with a smirk and groaning I just gave in to his demand.

He left my waist and started walking backwards.

He winked at me and blew a flying kiss in my direction.

I fake smiled and acted as if I caught his flying kiss and then threw it on the ground while stabbed it by my heel.

He just laughed seeing that & left.

I smiled to myself.

You're not supposed to smile!

But this stupid heart of mine wouldn't stop drumming when he is around.

The engagement ceremony was done and then it was time for the couple dance of the engaged couple.

Daksh & Myra soon started dancing and I could see the love in their eyes.

I wanted this!

Was it too much too ask for?

Just then I saw Kapoor ma'am approaching me.

Aarav's Mom & Dad arrived today morning as my mom & dad are good friends with them they wouldn't miss Daksh's wedding.

"Shanaya. How are you?" She asked and I smiled at her.

"I am good. How about you?" I asked.

"Ohh what about me? The same old schedule. Have you seen Aarav? I am actually searching for him since a while. I had to talk about something urgent to him." She asked and I looked around.

"I saw him entering the villa with Abhi, a few minutes ago. I'll just check. You take a seat over here." I said gesturing her towards one of the table and went inside to search for Aarav.

I entered and walked towards the kitchen to see a girl trying to wash something off Aarav's shirt and he stood there removing her hands from his chest.

What the fuck?

"Aarav."

I called and he looked up to me.

"Shanaya! Thank god you're here. She is here you can leave the stain, she'll help me with it." Aarav said uncomortably shifting in his place because the girl was roaming her hands around his chest while wiping whatever she poured on it.

"No! It was me who spilled the drink on your shirt. So , I should clean it." The girl said and I walked towards her and swiftly removed her hands from his chest.

"You're mom is been searching for you. It is something urgent." I said and then the girl spoke in between.

"What is your problem? Are you jealous that I get to touch his so broad chest and you don't? Why can't you just let us be?" She asked glaring at me.

She did not just say that!

"I can never be jealous of you. Beacuse girl you are not even someone he would remember after a minute, while I am on his nerves all the fucking time!" I said with a sweet smile & holding his hand I dragged him out of there.

When we reached the backyard, he tugged at my wrist and pulled me behind. I collided with his chest and he whispered in my ear

"Dance with me."

"I am not going to." I said and he just chuckled "I'll throw you over my shoulder and put you on the dance floor because you gave me your word earlier that you were going to dance with me."

He said.

And I just groaned while he held my hand and lead me towards the dance floor.

"Do you know what are you doing?" I asked him when he placed his hands and mu waist and I placed my hands on his shoulder.

"What am I doing? Dancing?" He asked furrowing his brows.

I rolled my eyes and said

"You are again doing the same thing which you did a year ago. You lead me on and then leave me in the middle on the road alone." I said as a dry chuckle left my mouth.

"Did I leave you because I wanted to?" He asked while his expressions changed from being playful to painful.

"Doesn't matter. But at the end we aren't together." I said as a tear escaped my eye.

"Who decides these endings? Because clearly this is not the end of us." He said wiping the tear very gently.

"Shanaya! Don't cry. The one thing I hate is seeing you cry. You make me weak with those tears of yours." He said while resting his forhead on mine with closed eyes.

"You make me weak with a smile of yours! But how does it matter? We are clearly not made for each other." I said and he chuckled.

"If you are not the one made for me, then there is no one in this fucking universe who is made for Aarav Kapoor." He said and walked leaving me on the dance floor alone he started walking towards the villa.

I started walking behind him while yelling his name but he kept on walking.

Arrghh!

Damn his long legs!

"Aarav!" I yelled as I turned him around by holding his wrist when he was near the pool area.

"Is it necessary to leave me hanging every fucking time?" I yelled with tears in my eyes.

"Then what am I supposed to do? He yelled and there were unshed tears in his his eyes too.

"I don't know what are you supposed to do. I just know that I want to be with you in all your highs & lows. You've just made your way in my heart and you're never getting out of it. For every move I make I want you to clasp my hand tightly in yours. I want to grow old with you. I want to be with you till the day I die. Because that's how much I love you, Damn it!" I yelled and tears started flowing from my eyes.

"And what do you think I don't have feelings? Huh? You know every fucking day till date I make the caramel custard you like hoping you would show up on the same door from which you left some day. I record voice notes before sleeping every night because that was the only way I could connect to you. It is not that easy for me to be without you. But it will be unfair to you if I be with you!" He yelled on the top of his voice while a tear rolled down his cheek.

I just cupped his cheek and asked

"Why are you this stubborn?"

"It will be unfair to you because the wounds I have are deeper than they seem. Marriage the word itself haunts me. And I can't trap you with me." He said closing his eyes as if getting relieved by my touch.

"I guess we should leave all the hopes from us because it is always going to end up like this." I said and wiped the tear from his cheeks.

"Because maybe you're the only right thing that has happened to me and I am the worst of the wrongs that has happened to you." He said.

"I want to know, why does marriage haunt you." I said and he opened his eyes instantly.

"Everyone knows." He said and turned around.

"I want to hear all of your reasons, Aarav. Because right now I am in dire need of a closure." I said holding his wrist.

"You're right. There are things only me & my mom know. Incidents which could shake a person from the core. And it is all because of one person, My father." He said and took a deep breath to start.

Guess..

This is the closure I need..!
