PARTH

✨

Our breaths mingled as my body was voluntarily pressed against hers while I had pushed her against the wall. Her lips parted a little as I felt the warmth of hot air leaving her small yet pretty mouth that had silenced suddenly at our close proximity. I gulped as my eyes kept shuffling between her bambi brown eyes and her pink painted lips.

I couldn't decide which one was more attractive. Was it those mesmerizing browns or those soft petals that invited me to be tasted, sucked and swallowed. I was drowning in her and I couldn't help but lose a little more with every passing second.

My lips parted as I slowly moved a little too close to her as she shivered a little and tried pressing her body towards the wall as much as possible yet failed miserably. She looked like a little lost deer. Those eyes that I adored when we were stuck in that car the night the police officer caught us.

Flashback Begins...

✨

'The rains don't seem to stop pouring!!! Parth!!! Uffff' she exclaimed as we were currently stuck inside my car. She was panicking due to the unpredictable Kolkata rains while I was scared because I was a little too mesmerized seeing her this up, close and personal.

This wasn't the original plan. Oni had planted one of his men to click our pictures so that it could be produced to our families and Oni could create a scene that he wouldn't trust Dhara. Thereby cancelling the wedding however with the unprecedented rains everything went haywire.

To add on Dhara was a little too beautiful. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous in that pale yellow anarkali salwar. Her slightly damp hair, those brown bambi eyes looking here and there, her swan like neck with little drops of rain and sweat mixed along, and then there was her fragrance. She always smelled a hint of vanilla mixed with lavender making it irresistible.

I was a gentleman. For her, and to the world I was portrayed asexual but God knew this woman was enough to burn the deepest of desires alive in any man alive on this planet. She was beautiful to the eyes, graceful with her movements and to the soul within me...she was this fire that could ignite the deepest of dark desires flaming alongside making even the most controlled mind loose it's shit.

I was just a man hiding his feelings but her proximity and her actions, were tightening my pants already and I bloody didn't want to think about her like that. Especially not now. I had a whole story to enact, a big mission ahead but this woman who stepped into our plan unexpectedly was messing with my mind. She was messing with my hormones. She was making me feel things I ignored and shut down within me for ages.

'Are you even listening Parth?-' she tapped my thigh and I suddenly sat straight.

Oh you have no idea the way that touch felt Dhara!!! Another time you do that I might end up kissing those plump-

Knock Knock

And then the unexpected happened. Out of nowhere the policemen caught us. This clearly wasn't a part of the plan and the moment I saw them I knew this was going to be blowing out of proportion.

And it did....

✨

'Are you serious??? No!!! Absolutely No!!!  That's too much Di' I shouted the moment Di told me about how she wants to pursue this plan. It was fine until she was going to let out the news infront of our families but making this video public and trying to frame our affair infront of the media was too much.

'Listen to me Partho!!! This would be the final nail in the coffin. With that Dhara and her Daarji would be compelled to get you both married and knowing Daadu, he would happily agree!!!'

I shook my head saying 'Thats too much Di. We never wanted to wrap innocent souls in our plan. Our father and our grandmother's crimes deserve to be punished..but Dhara and Daarji...they don't deserve this. This is so unfair!!!' I said when Di kept a hand on my shoulder saying 'So is life!!! But listen to me Partho...with our previous plan there's still a chance that our families could postpone this wedding but with the social pressure they would be bound to get you married to Dhara!!! Don't you want this?' she asked and suddenly those shiny innocent eyes came infront of me.

'Would you be fine to let her go???' she asked and I shook my head saying

'I can't see her humiliated infront of the world Di!!! I....I really... really like her!!!' I confessed and Di smiled saying

'I know and that's exactly why we have to leave no stones unturned.'

'But what if she finds out all of this one day and ends up hating me???' to which Di pressed my shoulder saying 'She will understand you Partho!!! Don't worry...and then... everything is fair in love and war!!!' she said and suddenly that word 'love' felt a little too heavy.

'I don't know if I love her Di...but I certainly see her as a life partner...but you know what...this feels so unfair. I'm tricking her into this. I'm emotionally manipulating her. This isn't fair. She's so good Di!!! She's too good for me!!!' I confessed whole heartedly when Di simply grabbed my hands in hers saying

'Then never leave her alone Partho. I know we are using her emotions to reach our goal but never leave her behind even after you reached your finish line. Yes, she might be hurt and pissed with you for hiding the truth but knowing the kind and understanding soul she is..

I'm sure she will understand your situation too.' and I closed my eyes only to recall that fragrance in the car. Those shiny, innocent twinkling eyes.

She was driving me crazy and I was falling for her with every passing second and this was scarier than any planning and plotting acts that I had pursued for decades now. If this was love then this is scary and if it isn't then I was feeling something extremely deep that would ruin me completely but then I was so fucking selfish for the first time that I was ready to be ruined and to destroy things for having her for myself.

I couldn't loose her at any cost, even if that meant that I had to manipulate their emotions.

I was a horrible person. I was terribly wrong but then I was helplessly into her and I couldn't imagine her with anyone else. She was slowly turning into my obsession and this was scary.

Flashback ends...

'Ssssstay away from mmme!!!' she shuddered as her lips trembled a little more and her hot breath hit my face and I closed my eyes only to feel her proximity. The heat radiating off her body, her vanilla-lavender fragrance and her voice drew me mad. In one go I pressed my nose to hers only to earn a loud gasp from her.

'Parth!!!'

I gulped hearing my name from her mouth. It felt like someone breathed life into a dead body after years. My hands itched to hold her closer. My fingers hesitantly brushed against her saree cladded waist as my body pressed more into her and then I heard a 'Please!!!'

My teary eyes opened only to meet hers as we looked into each other and I couldn't help but gasp as our breaths mixed. Our noses tickled and brushed, our chests rising and falling in sync while still being pressed against each other and then it happened...

I felt her hand against my chest and without my knowledge my heart was running a marathon. So loud. So fast. So crazy that I took a deep breath and a calm smile adored my lips as my hand touched that hand that rested on my chest. I gulped while still looking into those bambi browns and I whispered

'This heart bleeds for you Dhara...and by now I'm sure you know..I love bloodshed!' and suddenly her expressions changed as she slowly pushed me a little more making a good amount of distance between us as she grit her teeth announcing

'Arrogance and Attitude go hand by hand, Sir! And I don't like both. Especially when you are the one trying to shove it into my face. I'd rather ask you to shove them both...down your pretty little arse!!!' and I smirked as I slowly grabbed onto her high flying shoulder length hair only to earn a scowl from her while I slowly put them all on the right side of her shoulder and took one big step closer to her covering all that gap she made a minute go pressing myself to her as my other hand slowly travelled to her waist as I grabbed onto it in one go only to yank her towards me earning a 'Huhhh' from her as I couldn't help but smirk saying

'Its indeed interesting that you noticed my 'arrrrse' so much. No wonder you used to moan my name in the washr-' and before I could complete that statement she pushed me away angrily and yelled 'Stay in your fucking limits!!! I am getting married!!!' and that announcement suddenly boiled my blood and something within shattered again yet I maintained my calm saying

'I know I have pissed you Dhara. I know I hurt you. I know I have lied to you...but please understand I never really -'

'Save that fucking dialogue of yours Mister Chakraborty!!! I am not interested. As of now be glad that your sister is roaming freely without any unbailable charges on her.'

'Dhara...we were helpless-'

'No you weren't!!! You were selfish. You all are... Still are... Money, power and so called justice saga of yours cannot bring back my life and peace to me. You had chosen your path...now I have!!!

I am getting married Parth and you will see it happening infront of your eyes.

For that matter...hold on...my brother asked you not to be a part of Taapsi and Piyush's wedding...Correct? Let's fix that. You are invited. Whole heartedly. You are cordially invited Mister Chakraborty.

But along with Taapsi and Piyush's wedding you will also see another couple getting married and that's Aaryan and Dhara. Please come and haan Khaana zaroor khake jaana (do join us for a meal). ' saying she started walking away when I announced.

DHARA

✨

'I promise to be a part of that wedding Dhara but not as a guest but as your groom!!!' he said and before he could say another word I turned around and smirked saying 'My groom and you??? Looks like someone is still in a hangover. Haven't gone sober yet??? Last night must have been so much fun right??? Alcohol and more...after all being two faced has always been your speciality.

I am sure you must have really been tired of drinking and fucking that bi- Chuck it!!! I can't stoop as low as you.

Huhhh??? And you??? You still dream of marrying me? You think I'm that same stupid Dhara who'll fall for your silly traps? Let me remind you this time Parth. This isn't Dhara Puri. This is Dhara Malhotra. You have no idea what would be hitting your family. I'm going to drag you and your family to the streets. I promise!!!' I said when he simply closed his eyes saying

'This is between us Dhara. Not my family!!! Not them please' and I smirked saying 'Ohhhh!!! Your family is family and mine is a joke? You have always used my loved ones to get hold of me Parth. My Daarji was your softest target! Wasn't it. Now it's my turn.' I whispered when his smile had all vanished and I took a step closer to him, looking into his eyes announcing

'My Daarji was my world. I lost him. Now...your turn. And then how do you forget...you have a lot more to lose.' saying I smirked and he gulped shaking his head 'This is between us Dhara!!!'

'No it isn't!!! It never was. You used me to expose your family members and their deeds. Now I will use your family members to destroy you. In fact Nibbi was just the beginning.

Be ready to lose The Chakraborty Group of Industries next!!! Infact...Save your family from my wrath ane then plan to be my groom!!! Get it? Hmmm??? Infact...why don't you check upon your share prices? I heard it's crashing!!!' saying I smiled and with that I had made sure his smile had vanished.

I simply walked past him while I took a pause saying 'I am getting married to Aaryan Sehgal three days from now. 72 fucking hours and I promise you as a wedding gift I will take down the entire Chakraborty Group with me. Rok sako toh roklo!!! (Stop me if you can)'

I was going to be their destruction.

His destruction.

I am going to crush his self esteem and his heart both under my 6 inch heels.

I promise!!!
