AHANA’s POV:

The thing which happened earlier really made me sad to my core. I knew people who are losers always bitch about you behind your back but I didn't expect that from Tania.

She was speaking shit about me. It was very much frustrating at that moment and I just wanted to punch that bitch right in her face.

As I was listening to them from a distance, I made my way to confront those bitches. I was so furious at them because all I expected from Tania was loyalty not her bitchy behaviour and that too behind my back.

My steps were halted when I heard Yash and Yaan reaching.
I didn't want them to witness anything bad specifically the confrontation.
I took a step back and smiled at them.
I gulped all my emotions hard.

"Bitch"

That made me lose my interest in going out. Now, I just wanted to sleep or read. Rudransh had already sensed that something was wrong with me.

The heaviness of his gaze made me nervous and I felt I could cry at that moment only.

I was somehow able to convince everyone to go without me including him. Although I wanted to stay with him, I don't think that would have been possible.

I took a deep breath, gathered my thoughts myself and began walking towards my room.

Suddenly, I felt a strong grip on my wrist which pulled me backwards.
I was collided with something which was as solid as rock but yet felt soft.

When a familiar scent went to my nostrils and then directly to my heart, I knew who it was. It was him.

I looked up in those caramel eyes and was lost in them. We both were standing there looking into each other as if we were looking at each other’s soul.

“What happened Princess?" He asked in a low stern whisper and broke the silence.

I tried to let go of his hold but he made the grip tighter it didn’t hurt me at all
because I could sense it was all because of concern.

“Nothing!” I said with a fake smile but he was determined not to let go.
At that moment I just wanted to hug him and cry but I couldn’t let myself
weak. So, I controlled.

When I kept resisting him his eyes went darker and he again asked,
"Princess, please tell me! I’ll help” with a soft voice holding my waist and drawing me closer.

Now, I couldn’t control.
“Let’s sit in fresh air and then I’ll tell you!” I said while pointing my finger
towards the lawn.

He nodded.

When we were settled on the ground. He sat beside me watched closely
and said, “You want something to drink” I imagined how he always knew what I wanted.

I nodded.

He bought two lattes and again sat beside me drawing me closer to him.
I could feel his warmth and was just cosy.

“Now, Tell me! What happened? But just the truth” he said looking right into my eyes and I nodded.

“When I reached the meeting point which was decided and from where we had to leave.”

While I was speaking I did not realise when a tear slipped from my eye.

I took my hand to my face to wipe that, only to find that Rudransh’s hand had already wiped that off and now he held my hand and squeezed it and said,
“I’m here! Princess. You just keep talking” with a reassuring smile.
His words did magic to my heart which was burning earlier now was calm.

I nodded and began again, “I was about to go to everyone but then I heard they were talking about someone and when I realized they were talking about me. I Stopped.” I was sobbing and whenever I stopped he squeezed my hand and made me sip my coffee to continue.
I did and then only I noticed his eyes were dark and one thing I had also noticed in past time was that whenever he was angry his neck’s left side vein popped up.

It was very much popped that time.
I was worried but I continued.

“Muskan was saying that she doesn’t like me and I was okay with it because like it was her choice. Tania peeche se boli ki han muje bhi nahi pasand hai voh. Honestly, I did not expect this from Tania Kyuki she was very close to me very much. You know we spent nights together bingeing any show ya koi
DIY. But she then added I am a very boring person and find it irritating to be surrounded by my aura. See, I know I am boring but is just me abh kya karun me. Rikshit and Ashutosh tried to stop them from bitching about me but they didn’t notice their words. Muskan then said that I’m a piece of shit.” I just let
it all out in one breath I was sobbing all along and he was continuously
wiping my tears and his hand gave me warmth.

“Abhi to shukr hai Ayaan aur Yashika was not there otherwise maha yudh
hogya hota” I said because I was worried because when I had a full view of his face his eyes were not caramel but dark and that vein was so much popped as if it was swollen.
He was about to say something but I interrupted him and he nodded me to go on but his vein was not at all ease even more visible to me.

I said, “Don’t think like I didn’t say anything to them because Yaan and Yash had arrived Varna I was about to go and punch that bitch's face.” I said while softly laughing to ease everything.

He smiled and my heart raced.
We sat in silence which was cozy and
comfortable.

“You are one of the most interesting person I have ever met in my life. To me your aura calms me, soothes me and of all makes me warm just like my place!”
He said as if those words meant the world to him.

He looked directly into my eyes.

“Princess, don’t ever cry again, especially for those who don’t even deserve your precious tears.” He said while drawing me closer to him and squeezing my hand.

And I nodded with a smile which was straight from my heart.

I realized that night that he was something else for me. He was someone who soothes me eases me and someone who I need in front of me all the time. I think we are more than something. I fell for him harder.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
My blood was boiling as her tears were passing. I just wanted to crush their
heads because now they had just crossed every boundary of my patience by hurting my princess.

She was sobbing and I just wanted fucking to hug her to put her at ease but I just controlled my raging emotion because I can't just cross our boundaries.

Her words were echoing in my head and her sobbing was making me crazy. I will surely destroy them and this was a promise. They will fucking pay
to hurt my princess.

She went to the washroom and then only then I made a call.

Abhishek answered in one ring.
"Hn bhai everything alright!" He said casually.
"I am giving you fucking two names okay! And you know what to do?" I said in my dry yet harsh voice which came as screaming in a whisper.
He noticed my voice and became serious.
"Name them." He said coldly.
He knows me well enough.
“Tania and Muskan". I said with a dry laugh.
"Yeh Dono!", he said and laughed.

He knew them. Now they had enough of my patience!
‘Rudransh’ I heard my name from her mouth and I froze in my place.
I didn't want her to know about this but I guess she heard.
"ABHI wait until I tell you to do it" I said to him.
"OKAY!" He said and hung up.

"You will not do anything to them!" She protested in front of me with her arms folded to her chest looking damn cute.
She was also now protecting them even though they hurt her soo badly they just did not fuck deserve her.

"What?Who?" I tried to act like I did not know what is she talking about.
"I know. I heard your conversation. Don't act all innocent now!" She said with a serious face.
"OK! So, Princess I didn't want you to hear it but now that you have done so. It is going to happen there is no way to stop it." I said being stern to my decision because no one hurts what's mine!

"You will not do anything," she said coming closer to me with her eyebrows furrowed together.
"I will," I said looking straight into her eyes.

"Rudransh if you did this I won't talk to you ever and will never share
anything with you." She said and she was serious but her eyes were all moist and she was close enough to me now that I could smell her strawberry scent.
I was shocked by her words.

Her words changed something in my heart and her not talking to me as a
thought was hurting me like hell.
It was smothering.

I had to surrender.
I have my ways to get things in future.
I held her elbow and drew her closer to me.

"Ok Princess! As you say! But I won't let them go if they ever did again
anything to you." I said while making her hair strand go behind her ear.

"Promise me! You won't!" She said by giving me her hand forward.
I took her hand and promised her.

"Don't worry I'll destroy them if they did anything again!" She said and
laughed to which I nodded with a smile.
Then we both went for a walk.
The walk calmed me to my core.

"Acha listen, be ready tomorrow by 12 you, me, Yash and Yaan have to go somewhere!"
I disclosed.
