CHAPTER 3

Two days spent but the environment was as it was. Nothing had changed. After that day both had no conversation though he tried to talk her, to convince her but this time krisha was hell serious about the matter that she blocked all ways for him to converse with her. She only want his decision and nothing more.

After coming from her home that day ritvik thought a lot. He calmly took the situation and deeply thought about it. She was right, after all every girl will want to secure her future. He knew that in no way he will leave her hand but he had to clear her insecurity moreover his attitude towards the matter was something which will never make her feel secure.

Out of sudden ritvik jerk up from his world as soon as something fell on his shoulder or better if say someone. He quickly back out and held that someone, who landed on his lap as he was sitting on the chair little distance from his desk.

"Ouch!!" He whimpered.

"Ritvik...."

Ritvik's tightly scrunched eyes opened widely as soon as the voice entered in his ears. The voice which his soul was wishing to hear.... His head put back as the pleasurable sigh left his mouth. His palm automatically traced upside her body hugging her waist to his chest.

"Krisha__" Krisha's eyes welled up with tears as the loneliness of his voice hitted directly in her heart making her weak to respond. She felt her tears coming out which she managed and swallowed in.

"Are you fine? I am really sorry. Do you get hurt??" She asked concernedly but he didn't answer. The pain sometime ago hitted was gone after seeing her. He just forgot everything and shook his head. Understanding his emotions she immediately got down from his lap and started making her way outside once packing her stuff in the handbag as it was the time to leave the office.

Ritvik also picked up his laptop back and moved behind her calling her name again and again.

"Please listen to me once!! Please krisha for once talk to me!!"

"There is nothing to talk ritvik! Better you stop following me....."

She was just going to say something when suddenly he grabbed her and pulled in a corner so that no one could see them. Krisha cried at the sudden move but relaxed as it was her ritvik only....

"I can't and won't stop following you. Why are you doing this with me? You can slap me, punish me Or do anything you want but atleast talk to me. I can't handle this silent treatment krishu. Curse me as much as you want but please don't throw me away from you." His words stopped her. Still turning her face to other side she wasn't responding.

Ritvik sighed as he joined his head with the side of hers as his lips pressed on her jaw. Krisha took a deep breathe as again it was affecting her turning her weak. She fisted on his shirt, tried to push him away but failed.

"Leave me ritvik! I have to go home. Just leave me!" She said but it got ignored by him. He nuzzled her cheek with the tip of his nose. His both palms were on either sides of the wall caging her in between as the muscled chest was pressing hers one hitching her breathes.

"Ri_t....."

"Shh!!" He covered her lips with his ones, boiling the blood running in her veins at the hot moment. Krisha's mind pushed up the desperateness which she was controlling from long. She was making herself ready thinking that he will claim her lips but it gone down as seeing her closed eyes ritvik stopped and straightened his body as he didn't want to force her by his behavior. He knew that how much she loves him and she will never stop him for the sake of their love but he had to.

A sigh left from both of their mouths as they silenced themselves completely. A few moments later krisha again struggled but he stopped her.

"We can't find a solution like this! It will only increase the problems. Our relation, our love is not so weak to break like this krisha. Don't punish me in this way. You know, I can bear anything but not this. I got you after a lot efforts and now I can't afford to losse you. Please try to understand."

"I don't want to. I demanded just one thing but you don't want to give me that. You don't want to take our relationship to next level and about love then I think soon it's going to finish with me." She snapped at him with her cold words. Unknowingly hurting him.

"Stop it krisha!! You are talking anything coming in your mind. Just think before you speak. What have I done? Just that I can't gather courage to talk with papa doesn't mean I don't love you or I don't want to marry you. I do and I will. I just want time. I don't want him to reject us without thinking once."

She didn't speak anything. Ritvik held her both arms and brought her closer again trying convince her but before he could form any word, they heard some voices and parted ways. Krisha hurriedly walked away from her. She wore her helmet and starting the engine of her scooty rode away from there leaving him alone.

A painful sigh left his lips as he punched on the wall beside him.

✿-: ✧ :-✿

A tired ritvik reached home. He threw his bag on the couch and removing the tie, shirt jumped on bed grabbing a pillow. Sleep was far away to consume him but he was too sad to talk with anyone at that time. He knew that if he go in front of his father with that face then surely he will ask something to which he won't have any answer.

"Ritvik?" Ritvik immediately closed his eyes hearing tthe sweet voice of his mother. He didn't want her to see his tears, better if he keep his pain inside his heart as if she come to know about krisha then also nothing will happen. Because without his father's permission he couldn't do anything. There Rekha ( his mother) kept his stuff on right place and came to him. She sat on the edge then entangling her fingers in his sharp curls, ruffling them in a relaxing manner. Ritvik hurriedly shifted himself placing his head on her lap taking deep breathes to calm down.

"What happened? Why are you so off? Did anything happen in office or you're worried about something?" He shook his head avoiding those questions and fisted on her saare little tightly.

Rekha understood that something else has happened but decided to be quite and let him resolve it by himself, she didn't want him to drag more inside the problem by her interference.

"Okay then get up! Eat first and then do rest! I am waiting outside go and get fresh."

He nodded and went in washroom. After half hour coming out he went to have the dinner before his father come from the office as today he wasn't in mood to talk him. Once finishing all the chores he entered his room and switched off the lights.

Half laying on the bed resting his back on the headboard he was staring at the ceiling with lot of thoughts roaming in his mind. There was a urge to call her but then he knew that she won't pick it.

Krisha's home....

Her condition was not less. Laying alone on the bed shedding lot of tears while seeing his picture was the most painful thing she could do. Her heart was burning when she was forming those words to him. She wanted to hug him and solve everything but couldn't do that. Securing the present she didn't want to loose her future with him. He had already coloured her soul that in this birth no one could wipe it.

"I love you ritvik! I only love you___ why are you not understanding my situation? I can't marry anyone except you. If not you then I will finish my life. I am helpless, mom and dad are forcing me, they have already planned everything. And now I can't even deny it, why are you not understanding?" She cried holding the mobile near her chest. There was many pictures of him.

She took her mobile and saw by mistake his number had dialed and he had picked it up, the call was going from 30 seconds. She put it near her ear and heard his tensed voice.

"Krisha? Please answer me? Are you hearing? Krisha!! What happened? Please talk to me!" He was surprised after getting her call and excitedly picked it up but then heard her crying voice which clenched his heart. He was again and again calling her name but she wasn't responding.

Krisha wiped her tears and clear her throat. She took long breathe and approached.

"Sorry! It happened by mistake, I wasn't calling you." Her words already broke his hope.

"Why were you crying? "

"Nothing! I am sleepy, you too go and sleep. Good night!" She didn't give him a chance and hang up the call. Digging her face in the pillow cried more and more remembering only him.

Her eyes reminded staring at the window as suddenly a smile curved over her lips like something got in her mind. Maybe some of their moments they had spent.

Ritvik laid down on his bed holding the pillow tightly. He stayed in same position as something came in his mind and he closed his eyes to get some peace by remembering the past moments of them and their meeting.

✿ -: Beginning Of 'PAST' :- ✿

Walking through the corridors with stumbling steps, while clearing the blurry vision and finding the rooms by checking each and every number plate on it. Ritvik stumbled little and held on the shoulder of his friend as there were three more men were present.

"Fuck! I can't even walk properly. What was the need to insist me so much?"

"Chill bro! We are here to do fun, don't worry and just chill." One of them said and fell on him but he managed the weight.

"Abey nashedi! First handle yourself then do your chill pill. Go and get into your respective rooms." He pushed him to the other one as they left from there. He stood in front of a certain room and started looking at the number with his blurry vision.

"What was the room number!! Yeah it's '96' and which is it? Yaa, it's mine only." He smiled in victory and opened the door which was already open.

But he mistaken while reading the number as in actual it was '69' and not '96'

Ritvik unbuttoned his shirt and threw it on the bed, himself occupying the area on bed. The lights were already off which didn't make him realise about the unfamiliar room.

He closed his eyes and slept there with a smile of relief on his face.

A half and hour spent as the owner of the room stepped outside the washroom. She came while drying her long hair with the help of towel. Her body was covered with a single towel which was wrapped around her half body, from the upper side of breasts till the mid of thighs. She wiped her face and then came till the mid of room. There was too dark as she forgot to switched on the lights before going to take shower. Finally reaching to the switches she clicked it and went in front of the mirro while ruffling her face and admiring her beautiful face, which is every girls habit. 😉

"Ahh!! How beautiful you are krisha!! I love you sooo much....." She giggled slapping her head lightly.

Krisha was just looking at her face while applying some skin products when suddenly something hitted in her mind. She heard a groaning voice and titled her head to get horrified. The bottle from her hand slipped on floor and with her whole will she screamed at the top of her voice. "Ahhhh!!!!!" Her voice echoed through the walls shaking the whole room. As hearing the fearful yell ritvik jerked up from his sleep. He immediately got up and saw a girl but at that moment without any second thought he jumped to her side and pressed his palm over her mouth shutting her down.

Still muffling she struggled and punched on his bare chest which didn't affect him but she was putting her complete force in it.

"Mmmm!!!" Krisha voiced louder as he pressed his palm little tightly.

"Shut your mouth!! Why are you screaming? I am not raping you." Her eyes widened with fear as she punched hardly and he stepped back.

"Okay, my mistake! Why are you screaming like I am doing anything wrong?" He asked then something clicked in his mind.

"Wait! What are you doing in my room? How dare you enter in my room! Seriously!? Ladka dekha nahi dore marna chalu?" He hurriedly grabbed his shirt and wore it, buttoning it while gazing her, who was now giving him death glares.

"First you entered in my room then slept on my bed and now being the shameless species asking me that what I am doing here? Wait, I will call security." She came near the landline but he interrupted her.

"What do you mean by 'my room'? Miss__" He paused hoping she tell her nane but she glared at him.

"Main kyu batau mera naam." He greeted his teeth but them smirked.

"Miss towel!" A joke cracked and he began giggling like a girl. Krisha walked to him and punched on his arm. She ran to the couch and grabbed the bathrobe.

"You!!"

"Not you! Myself Ritvik." He winked and creased his hair by running his fingers in them.

"I am not interested to know your name! You just get out of my room Or I will kick you out." She pushed him by his chest but instead going back ritvik came closer to her and trapped her in between him and the wall. His lips stretched in a devilish smirk which made her gulp.

"Impressed! You are the first girl who has attracted Ritvik Kashyap, miss towel or whatever you are. Do you think I will go this soon and above all how could you say a handsome guy like me to leave?" Her breathe hitched as she tried not get nervous and inhaled a long breathe.

"Dare you touch me__" She stated and he began touching her cheek with his finger.

"See I already touched you. What will you do?" He teased her as she pushed him and yelled.

"I am too dangerous to handle already warning it. Don't mess with me, I am a Kung-fu-karate champion. I won't take much time to destroy your so called handsome face." She warned showing her tiny fist to him. Ritvik stepped back and laughed at her like she cracked some joke.

"You! And kung-fu-karate?" He came to her and hold her tiny fist in his big.

"Yeh haath se mujhe marogi toh khud ko hi chot lag If you even tried to punch me with this pretty little tiny fist then you yourself will get a serious fracture." She chided and kicked on his leg. He stumbled little and fell on the bed. While falling his palm grabbed her ones resulting her to fall flat upon his body.

"Ouch!!" Ritvik winced as her elbows pierced in his stomach.

"Fuck!! How fatty you are!" He cursed. Krisha punched on his face and got up.

"Get out of my room! Enough is enough, bohot batameezi karli tumne, LEAVE MY ROOM OR I WILL---"

"Beat me? Come! Beat me!" He again teased her in a mocking voice. Krisha irritatedly gritted her teeth. Seeing her irritated face ritvik decided not to tease her more as he know his limits.

"Help me to get up!" He forwarded his hands but she didn't stretched her one and instead step backward folding her arms before her chest. He twitched his nose cutely and stood up.

"Btw, what's your name? Miss__" Before he could say she passed death glares.

"Okay, I was calling miss beautiful! You are reacting unusually." Changing the words he pretended to be innocent.

"What will you do by my name?"

"Tumhe follow!" He stated showing his charming smile. But it faded by her strict face.

"On Instagram! Why will I follow you in real? Btw I don't have any problem in that case too. You are a beautiful girl and me an extraordinary handsome guy. Just think how beautiful children will born by our combination!" It was enough for her to hear. She threw a pillow on his face and shouted at him to get out of the room. Ritvik laughed loudly and ran outside.

She took a breathe of relief and was going to sit when again he peeped from the door and screamed. "Your towel slipped!" She held her bathrobe tightly near her chest and checked herself but everything was fine. Huh! He was teasing again!!

"Hahaha! Scared! It's okay, Don't be shy from me afterall i am the father of our future kids."

"Youu!!!!" She screamed at top and at last he finally ran away enough from the teasing.......

"Idiot!!" Krisha slammed the door locking it and jumped on her bed digging her face into the pillows.

CHAPTER 4

The trip was going in a nice way. Everything was happening as they had thought and now it had become more special for ritvik. After yesterday night he was day dreaming and the beautiful lady again and again knocking into his mind. He couldn't focus on his surrounding as she had snatched his heart and mind from him throwing it don't know where.

Sitting on a chai with his palm carrying his head supported with the elbow. There his friends were chilling in the swimming pool and he was just sitting and dreaming about his beautiful kung-fu-karate champion miss towel. Little funny but whatever it was, the feelings were arousing in his hearts were real for sure. He was wishing to meet her again. After waking up from sleep he went in front of her room but it was locked as if she had gone somewhere. He asked the service man about her but got nothing.

Sighing with a smile ritvik looked up as his heat gave a sudden brake stopping every single movement. Ritvik's eyes popped out as he stood up and bent little titling his head. Was she his kung-fu-karate champion?

Ritvik's mind spoke after seeing krisha, sitting little away from everyone. He couldn't believe his eyes that just a moment ago he was wishing to meet her and here God completed his wish. His palm rested on his chest as seeing the elegant beauty in front of him he couldn't do anything but admiring her.

Ritvik's jumping heart went towards her following it he too made his way towards his beautiful angel. While going he picked up a rose from the vase nearby and reached to her unknown to herself.

Krisha was looking at the atmosphere as it was very energetic, she was feeling relaxed after coming here with her friends. The trip was going great for her, she was enjoying it with full joy and energy. She was randomly thinking about here and there when the last night thought hitted in her mind. She huffed under her breathe. He was so much irritating, she just wished to not meet him again.

But he was breathtaking handsome. Her heart spoke out loudly unable to deny the fact. He was attractive!! Again her heart voiced out. A smile was forcing on her face which she didn't let and fake a stern glare.

"Never! Vo bandar handsome hoga toh bhi mujhe koi matlab nahi usse! Huh! Idiot kahika! Vo agar mujhe ab mila toh usske so called handsome face ka naksha badal dungi main!" She gritted her teeth.

(Never! That monkey would be handsome but i don't have any intrest! Huh! Such an idiot! Now if I meet him then I will make sure to change the map of his so called handsome face!)

"Aacha?" Krisha's trance broke as she jerked out and titled her head at ritvik's side who was standing just behind her. She stood up hurriedly. She made a stern face though it was looking a nervous one.

(Oh!!)

"Yeh Bandar yaha?"

(This monkey here?)

Hearing her loud whispers, ritvik bursted out laughing. He ruffled his hair and stood before him, sweetly staring at her while giving smiles. His itching palm raised up automatically as it brushed on her cheek delicately. Krisha felt shivers enlightening in her body as her body zinling-mingling with sudden shocks.

He brushed the straight curls back her ear and smiled with a perfect look.

She was drowning into his charming look unconsciously when suddenly her mind alerted her and she stepped back gritting her teeth! "You!!"

"Yes! Me!" He repeated with a sheepish smile.

"How dare you? Tumhari himmat kaise hui mujhe follow karne ki? I knew it! Tum jarur koi goon ho issi liye mera itna picha kar rahe ho! Keep it in mind mister, I will make sure that you will regret following me. Chup chap chale jau nahi toh main chilaungi...."

(How dare you follow me? I knew it! Definitely you are some goon, that's why you are following me! Keep it in mind mister, I will make sure that you will regret following me! Now keep quietly leave from here or else I will scream....)

"Aacha? Main goon hu? Aur tum kya? Jungli billi? Tab se pattar pattar kiye jaa rahi ho. How could you think that i am a goon? Itna handsome, masum face hai mera. Bhala main koi gunda ho sakta hu?" He asked with a grumpy face. Krisha twitched her nose and tried to go but he held her writs pulling her closer to him.

(Oh? I am a goon? And what are you? Wild cat? Have been talking continuously ever since. Such a handsome and innocent face I have, Can i look like a goon?)

"For you i can become a mafia too!" He whispered coming deadly closer to her. Krisha felt tickling as his breathe fanned on her delicate skin.

Krisha widened her eyes and kicked on his leg pushing him away. "Wait! I will not leave you today!"

"Don't leave me please! I also don't want to go away from you." He teased her and come more closer. An irritated krisha punched on his chest which didn't actually affected him still he acted and held her tiny fists. Krisha removed her hand from his and was going to punch him again but someone interrupted them.

"Ritvik? Krisha?" Krisha looked up and saw one of their common friend sumit standing little far.

"Sumit? You know her/him?" Both of them voiced shocked in union. Sumit curled his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Ofcourse! But how couldn't you both know each other? Yaar we work in a same company!" A big wider smile plastered on ritvik's face as he winked at her with a perfect dimple showing smile.

Krisha ignored him and came to their friend. "Tum sach bol rahe ho? Yeh humare office mein kaam karta hai? Mujhe kaise nahi pata?"

(You are saying truth, right? He works in our office? How don't I know?)

"Vo main kaise bata sakta hu? Ab tumne kabhi dhyaan nahi diya hoga aur ritvik abhi abhi toh iss branch mein shift hua hai iss liye shayad tum nahi janti!" Sumit guessed seeing krisha's angry face. He gestured at ritvik who shrugged back.

(How would I know that? Maybe you didn't pay attention and moreover ritvik joined this branch few time ago only that's why I guess!)

"It's okay guys! Now we know each other that's it!" Ritvik told coming near her. She glared at him and left from there leaving them both. A confused sumit looked at his friend who was laughing now.

"What's the matter? Why were you troubling her?"

"Nothing yaar! Let's go and enjoy the moment!" He changed the topic and they went where everyone was present. The whole time ritvik was staring at her. His eyes were only checking her. Wherever she was going and whatever she was doing had captured in his eyes. Knowing his gaze on her krisha was continuously throwing death threats at him but who cares.

✿-: ✧ :-✿

Evening time....!!

The resort was completely decorated with fine lights as the guests were arriving by every passing minutes. It was the same one where ritvik, krisha and their friends we're staying. The big hotel was celebrating its 25th anniversary for which everyone was invested there.

Here at the party hall ritvik was standing in a corner with his friends, somewhere still reminded coming so they all were waiting for the remaining.

Styled in a dark brown blazer with same coloured trouser and a black red spotted shirt inside with a tie hanging around his neck. Overall he was looking devilishly handsome and hot that any female could melt under the warm radiations.

"Oh there the angels came!" One of them said as all of them looked back towards the entrance from where the girls were entering.

Ritvik's breathe hitched as his eyes stuck with the figure entering inside wearing a beautiful navy blue coloured gown. Her hair tied in a bun. His surrounded seemed like fading away as he felt flying high in the dreamland where only she was with him.

"Look at the preety Lady! Today krisha is looking more beautiful!" Sumit uttered standing beside ritvik while checking out krisha. Ritvik's trance broke as the possessiveness flashed out and he turned to his friend who was staring at her with wide eyes. He blocked his sight and glared at him.

"What?" Sumit asked in confusion.

"Why are you looking at her? Don't you have manners? How could you stare at a girl like this and that to at her? Don't you have someone else?" He bursted out giving him death glares.

"What's your problem? Why can't I stare at her? She is my friend, I can appreciate her!"

"Better if you don't go for more than friends! She is JUST a friend for your! Remember this!" He huffed focusing back to her.

"Ahm ahm! So someone has fallen in love, right? Don't worry, I am already committed with someone else!" Sumit's words passed a way of shiver with handful colour of blush through his cheeks. Ritvik avoided him and walked towards krisha who was just freed from the crowd of her friends.

"Looking gorgeous!" Krisha titled her head smilingly but it faded after seeing him. She huffed under her breathe and ignored him going forward towards the area where some couple were dancing and the romantic song was playing on.

"Why do you behave like this to me? You should be happy that such a handsome guy following you but instead you are doing this and making faces." He stated coming behind her krisha still avoiding him went forward and stood on a place.

Ritvik saw the couples dancing on floor he smirked and without a second chance holding her wrist pulled her to the floor and started moving along the song. Krisha was numb as she couldn't react with the situation which happened out of sudden. She glared at him with her wide eyes and tried to get away.

"How dare you? Who gave you permission to dance with me?"

"I, myself!" He smiled with a stupid answer which always readily come.

"Shut up and leave me!" She succeed to remove his grip and stomping her foot over his turned to leave but her steps got interrupted by the voice of the man.

"Mam, please don't leave! We want the couples present here to do a little more efforts and participate in the small competition. It's just a game to make the evening more special." He requested but she shook her head and was going to deny but he held her hand and pulled her back.

"Sure, she won't leave! Please you continue with the instructions." He smiled in a sugar coated way and winked at her. Krisha huffed finally normalising her movements.

They stood aside as the waiters were putting square sized small carpets on each place were the couples were dancing before. The rules were that the couples had to dance on the carpet and by each song the carpets will be folded in minimum size. Winner will be the one who will dance till end.

Ritvik was excited as he was wanting to spend more time with her and here it happen. On other hand krisha behaved little energetic. She titled her head and saw at him. Finally seeing him from near with little interest. Her lips twitched into a smile.

He is a nice guy! Handsome too!'

She thought but then shook it. She couldn't understand his weird behavior. And also because of him she was behaving rudely. She never talk like this to anyone but this man!! Didn't know what made him come behind her. She knew, he is just chilling by troubling her. Once the went back he will behave like she is nothing so better not come under his charm. She can't deny that his looks are good and he is attractive but that can't make her weak.

Her thoughts interrupted as he approached her.

"Hey beautiful? Are you lost in my thoughts? It's ok, I won't restrict you from dreaming about me but at this time let's go and have some fun!" He forwarded his hand like a gentleman. This time krisha didn't make face but smiled and placed her palm over his. Ritvik's heart thrummed inside his chest as if in few moments it will jump out of the place. His face glowed up seeing her smiling for him, first time, to be noticed. He gently held her palm and gestured her to come.

Soon they both took their positions and the romantic song started playing. Krisha's lips brought up with a smile hearing the song. She closed her eyes and heard it which was soothing her heart. Ritvik heart filled with pleasure as seeing that beautiful smile of his lady gave him the chance to fall hardly.

"You love this song?" She heard him and nodded. Then opening her eyes moved along with him.

Three rounds completed and now the final round was ahead. Almost everyone had given up except three couples including #kritvik !

Now that it was the smallest fold. Krisha put off her sandle as he instructed her to sand on his feet. She did as he said. It was an awkward move but ritvik didn't made her uncomfortable. The song again started playing. This time both of them lost in it. Krisha looked up as her nose slightly brushed with his one. She felt shiver running through her veins as her cheeks getting dark with the crimson colour. It was badly affecting her, she couldn't help but pulled in his charm.

Ritvik's palms surrounded around her waist as he pulled her closer. Their faces close as their bodies glued with each other. Just a single move of them and their lips would crash together. The feelings bottled up as she deeply gazed in his beautiful hazel pairs so as he.

Continuing the intense gaze loosing away from the world they both were moving with just the song. Ritvik picked her up by her waist and swirled with soft steps.

"Wohhhhoo!!" The crowds cheered up with loud noise and claps. The music stopped as the one holding mice declared the winner who was none else than #kritvik!

Both of them jerked out of the dreamland as the pushed away from each other. Krisha pushed him slightly and ran out of the hall hurriedly unable to handle her blush. Something happened! Like someone just hitted her with the love arrow. She felt a strong force around him which was pulling her in him. It was so dreaming she couldn't understand what happened and how.

Standing on the same place with a constant smile ritvik stared at her running figure which soon disappeared. He bite his lower lip and ruffled his hair, smashing it ones.
