They slipped briskly

into an intimacy from

which they

never recovered.

What??

"Aren't you a romantic at heart?? Just my luck! Drop me at home"

I told the last part sternly.

He called a waiter paying me no heed.

"Order for me too."

He really wanted me to order for him?? Oh yeah, he don't know any South Indian Food.

How about poison??

No???

So me being the best, ordered the most spiciest items in the menu for him and normal ones for me.

I know I am a sweetheart and I'll never say no to Food.

"How about we forget our differences for a day and enjoy the day? You can surely continue with your fights once the day ends"

he suggested after a couple of moments.

Forget that you literally keep on threatening me into doing things?

Of course! Anything else?

"You mean to say that I should forget the problems and differences between us which happens to be a giant ELEPHANT and talk to you like long lost friends, which we are not. Right?!"

I retorted sarcasm dripping from each word.

"Yes"

Argh...

Call that waiter I want to order poison, If I can't kill him then I'm going to kill myself.

I really can't stand him and a part of me was attracted to this man.

How did I end up here? A point where I'm not even able to control my own emotions.

Our orders came and before I could do anything he interchanged our orders.

I thought he don't know any South Indian Food. This man is really Devil incrinate.

"That is my Food!" I bellowed

And He..He shrugged!

I kept on staring at my plate which was supposed to be his. Ma have always told me whatever others do to us we should never avenge them, I think I learned my lesson the hard way.

The thing is, I hate wasting Food that is something Ma taught us.

So I started eating.

After 2 minutes into eating. My plate was suddenly replaced by another one .

I looked up to see him eating from my plate and a fresh serving in front of me.

"Let's share!" words were out of my mouth even before any rational thoughts. But it felt right.

Then after an intense staring competition. We came to a mutual agreement with our eyes and started sharing our Food. Really we can understand each other by just starting at each other.

Weird!

"Do you like gold or platinum?"

he suddenly asked.

"Platinum" I curtly replied not wanting any more drama in front of Food.

He paid the bill, so he doesn't own this place, I was quite surprised after seeing the way strode around like a King.

When we came out of the restaurant.

There was a man about Anna's age standing by what I guess is Ferrari 812.

"This is Roger my Head security guard" He introduced

"Arundhathi Varma"

We nodded to each other. Roger passed the keys to Mr.Shekhawat

Yes! Mr.Shekhawat

He opened the door for me. He jogged to the other side and got into the driver seat. I saw Roger getting into another car right behind us.

"I hate others opening door for me"

I suddenly lashed out.

"I know. Didn't wanted your pretty head to collide on the car top"

he said with a shrug.

Actually that's right the car was different I would have ended up bumping my head. That's why he kept his hand above my head while getting in.

Okay!!!

I suddenly felt a kind of warmness inside me. But I felt something not right.

"Why is Roger following in another car?" I frowned while turning around to see the car behind us.

"Privacy"

I felt a sudden rage coarse through my veins.

"Really Mr Shekhawat? Privacy??

No one can enter your private space but you can crash into someone's life. Some morals you got there!" I spoke with anger and sarcasm dripping my each word.

Silence...

But I could clearly feel the bomb ticking inside him. His knuckles turned white with his grip on the steering wheel. His stiffened body, clenched jaw. A vein in his forehead was literally trying break out from his skin.

I really didn't feel like having a conversation because I don't trust myself. And sure as hell didn't want to hit him. For Godsake he is driving and sure as hell I don't want to die young.

Then after sometime we immersed into our own thoughts. I looked outside the window. Both of us peeked glances at each other

of course I could feel his gaze on me.

We entered a luxurious Jewellery.

I knew what was coming.

I knew I was helpless.

Whatever it may I will never let him touch my friends or family.

This time he didn't open the door for me and stood in the front waiting for me. I smiled which I covered up quickly.

"Can I hold your hands?"

he asked in a warm voice.

"No"

Did he really think I'll let him go for all that he did. First he told me to just forget everything, now he want to hold hands. Not gonna happen Mr.

He didn't ponder much. We reached the showroom. The manager himself came and guided us to a private room.

Now I know where he got his ego.

Everyone keep on serving him as if he is a King.

But a rational part told me Indeed he is a King. The way he walks with that powerful aura surrounding him. The gaze that's capable of penetrating your soul. The assured and powerful strides he took, sure enough he was a King.

When we reached the private section I decided. Let's just make the good out of it. Anyway I'm stuck with this guy.

And really started looking for the band which will bind me to this Devil.

I am a perfectionist.

That's why Ma never let me select Jewellery. I usually take 4 to 5 hours to atleast shortlist my selections.

Today also I took so much time all designs were really nice. But not what I wanted.

Suddenly a couple ring caught my eye

I pointed at it. I could feel his gaze on me. I took it in my hand and instantly fell in love with it. But the cost was a bit too much. So I placed it back, saying I didn't like it that much. He didn't say anything. But a part of me was waiting for the fight to come. As if he usderstands me!

Aren't I a bit too delusional??

After a couple of minutes I settled with another affordable ring. But it was not as beautiful or elegant as the other one.

The manager informed it will be ready in 1 hour. Perks of being the Owner might I add.

We came back, I got in car and buckled up. He stepped out to make a call. When he came back I didn't say anything he again started driving.

We reached Marina Beach. We both came out of the car.

I remembered the last time I came here for taking the pictures.

I really felt sad, we really worked hard on this. I can imagine how disappointed they will be hearing the outcome.

Part2 will be coming up in 10min
