• His Obsession •
Ayesha's POV
"So you two will not accompany me" , I asked once again really hoping that my friends would change their mind but I was wrong they didn't bulge
"Sorry Ayu but I am seriously not coming"
It was Aarohi who said and went inside the kitchen
"Even I am not" , Riya too answered
So I have to handle this alone
Huhh
You can do it yes........ you can do it Ayesha nothing will happen calm down.. calm down
"Girl where are you lost your phone is ringing" , Riya said forwarding me my phone
It was an unknown number but I predict it might be Joseph
And I was right it's Joseph
"Ma'am are you ready I'll be there soon" , he said
"How many times I have asked you not to call me ma'am" , I said
Yes it's true despite of my warning he keeps on calling me ma'am
"Sorry ma'am" , he replied
"See again" , I said and laughed while he didn't replied
"I'll be there in 15 mins please be ready" , he said and I panicked what 15 mins I am not ready even a bit
"No...no...no Joseph what 15 mins....I am not ready please give me half an hour please please" , I said sighing
"Ok but don't delay more than it" , he said
"Ok....ok" , I replied and hang up the call
I hurriedly ran towards the washroom keeping my phone on the table
"Ayu what are you gonna wear girl" , Riya shouted from behind
"Riyu please take out something decent to wear of your choice" , I shouted back and shut the door close
Quickly taking a shower I came out wearing my bathrobe to see Riya and Aarohi selecting my earings
"Riya did you took out my clothes" , I asked her and she nodded
"Offcourse here"
She replied and showed me the dress I was supposed to wear
What....A saree..... seriously....noo
"Riyu....saree" , I asked confirming
"Yes Ayu saree" , she replied proudly
"But why... I could have wore something light like suit or jeans" , I said while these two didn't seemed satisfied
"But this is not a heavy one , this is light" , Aarohi said
"And you only said na that there is puja organised so it will not look nice wearing jeans" , Riya said trying to pacify me
"But Riyu how will I manage you know na.... I don't know how to wear it properly and then how will I walk in this.... noo I am not wearing it....what if I fall down there.... I don't want them to make fun of me" , I said horrified with the thought of falling down
"Tchh Ayesha you are so negative... nothing will happen... I'll make you wear it and pin it up properly so that it won't fall a bit and you'll be able to walk don't worry...just think you'll look so beautiful" , Riya said but I was not satisfied huhh
I should have not asked them to choose clothes for me
"What are you thinking... you'll be late come fast" , Riya said and I made faces seeing the saree
"Look Ayu you are going there for the very first time and you know na that first impression is the last impression" , Aarohi said with a cunning smile
These two surely have something in their mind
"Aren't you getting late now" , Riya asked and I panicked
Seeing no options left I agreed to wear a Saree huhh
It took nearly 20 mins for them to do my makeover
This is literally too much
"Ayesha hold it properly over your shoulders so that I could pin it up"
Riya said standing behind my back while Aarohi was busy putting on my earings
Wearing my heels I was all ready
Seeing my reflection in the mirror made me smile
I look nice
"Ohoo look at you Ayu , Neil sir will surely have hard time moving his eyes away from you" , Aarohi said while I smiled hearing his name
Wait
Ahmm what
Hell
What did she just said
Neil
My eyes widened on realising what she said and I looked at her still in shock
"What...did..did you said" , I asked her stammering
"That Neil sir will have a hard time moving his eyes away from you" , she spoked again calmly as if it's just a normal talk
Riya started laughing seeing my horrified face
"Oh come on Ayesha don't we know that he is head over heals for you" , Riya said smilingly
"Yeah the way he looks at you aahhh my heart" , Aarohi said keeping her hands on her heart
"Kuch bhi aisa kuch bhi nahi hai" , I said blinking my eyes several times
( There is nothing like this )
"Kitna bhi chupa lo pyar toh aankhon mein dikhta hai or Neil sir ke aankhon mein toh Nasha hai Nasha wo bhi tere liye" , Aarohi said dreamily standing on the bed doing actions with her hands
( Oh girl it doesn't matter how much you hide love is seen in his eyes for you )
"Shut up" , I said and threw a pillow over her face but she dodge it
We were busy fighting when Riya shushed us
"Sushhhhhhh" , she said and looked at the caller id taking out her ringing phone
"Aaahhh seems like Jiju is calling" , Aarohi said cheerfully and I too joined her in this teasing game
The blush on her face clearly shows that it's Sagar who called her
"Aree Riyu pick it up fast don't make him wait" , I playfully said poking her arms
"Aaru let's go... don't disturb these lovebirds" , I said and dragged Aarohi out
"Huff Ayesha you dropped the fun" , she said looking at me
"Shut up....you will....... ,
But before I could continue Joseph called
"Oh Joseph is here.....see you bye" , I hurriedly said and went out
"Whatever", she muttered
Coming down I looked at the shinning Black Bugatti with Joseph standing out
Lucky Joseph he could drive these beauties
But I always wonder how many cars does this man have noo seriously everytime I see him with a new one
Ameer Log huhh
( Rich people )
I greeted Joseph and sat inside
Huhh means now I have to face him
"Ahmm I like.... don't want to invade but can I ask you one question" , I asked Joseph
"Sure" , he replied
"How do you...ahmm I mean like how do you even handle that angry bird" , I asked laughingly but he didn't seemed to liked it
"Self made mans always carry pride on their shoulders , it doesn't matter to me if he gets angry on some point because working for him for 10 years now I know how he is from within" , he said and I carefully observed his words
"He is not rude Ayesha , it's just that he knows what it takes to build An Empire with almost no one behind your back" , he added
I nodded understandingly
"Next he is very possessive for his loved ones he even don't like divided attention" , he said and smiled a bit saying the last part
"Okay we are here" , he mentioned
I titled my head to front and
Dammmmmmmm
Is..is it a house
Mansion ?
Bunglow ?
Villa ?
Hell what is it
I have just seen this big mansions in movies can't believe I am seeing one right in front of me
I knew he is rich but this much
Oh broo
Aadhi Mumbai bass jaye isme toh
( Half of Mumbai could stay here )
Oh shut up Ayesha
I stopped my absurd thoughts and turned to Joseph to ask the most dum question of the year
"Joseph is it Neil's house like for real or he lives on rent" , I asked shockingly
He laughed out loud while the watchmen opened the big damn gate of his mansion
"Asks him yourself" , he said laughingly and stopped the car
Before I could open the door one of the bodyguard came and opened it for me
Oh okay
I smiled a bit and thanked him
"Come I'll take you inside" , Joseph said and I nodded still looking at his premises
The entire pathway was too dreamy to be true ahh I really can't believe this I have always seen these things in movies and novels
Each corner screams luxury
Ahh okay stop gawking Ayesha
I walked slowly firstly because of my attire and secondly I was observing each and everything
The thing that caught my attention was the trees and flowers planted , blooming in the bight sunlight
I touched the roses and smiled
I entered and in front of me was an empty luxurious hall
"Let me call Vishakha ma'am" , Joseph said and went inside
I choose to stand still where I was because I just don't want to move inside without anyone....firstly because it's not my place and secondly I don't want anyone to think me as an invaded specially when some people here don't like me
Still I slowly roamed my eyes to spot no one just me standing in this beautiful hall alone
I was right Neil and I can't be together there is no match between us it's just his attraction towards me
Why would a man like him love a girl like me
Not a chance I thought and smiled sadly
He must have changed his mind till now
In no time I met Vishakha aunty she got so happy seeing me and this really content me
I already love her
She always support me and take care of me like my mom did
Thinking of her makes me emotional everytime
But I hate her for what she did but that doesn't mean I don't want her
"Ma'am" , someone called Vishakha aunty and she went offering me to sit but I preferred to still stand
What should I do should I go to aunty or should I stand ahhh
Why the hell there is no one here
Even not him
Anyway why he would be here to talk to a person who rejected him
He must be angry and probably doesn't wanna see me
Yeah I thought and smiled looking at the way Vishakha aunty went
<>
Little did she knew that someone's heart just flutter seeing her or was just waiting to see her
Neil smiled seeing her
Standing alone in this big luxurious hall she felt lost again lifting her eyes lashes slowly her eyes roamed across the hall may be in a hope to find someone but her face again fell spotting no one
She took a step to follow where Vishakha went only to be pulled in a corner by someone
She was about to scream when she saw him while Neil covered her mouth with his hand making Ayesha utterly shocked
"Shhhhhhh" , Neil gestured her and her body relaxed
"Are you trying to kidnap me Mr. Neil Malhotra" , Ayesha asked glaring him
"Well for now I am not but if it's the only way then you know I can" , Neil replied playfully winking at her
"Are.....are y..you serious" , Ayesha asked stammering a little shocked by his bold statement
While Neil just nodded innocently
"Where were you till now , did you even know how much time I was standing alone in your this big house.... you are flexing in front of me right that your house is soooooo big and I don't know where this Joseph also went leaving me here all alone I will scold him"
She kept on babbling things that first came to her mind pouring her little cute anger on Neil showing how she felt standing alone because it's the only thing she is anxious about
Being all alone
Neil smiled seeing this
"Shhhhhhhh Honeybun" , Neil said and she finally realised she was speaking without thinking much
She is not this comfortable with anyone but here it seems like a different story
"Were you looking for me" , Neil asked looking into her eyes moving his hands to her waist and pulling her to himself a bit
"Aaaa ....Who me.... Ahmm no why..... why would I" , Ayesha replied quickly not looking at him
His hands on her waist was making her thoughts blurry and legs weak
He surely has a effect on her
"Try again" , Neil said pulling her more close while Ayesha completely got off guard seeing Neil understanding her so well that he could catch her lie this instant
"I know you well Honeybun" , he said looking at her without breaking up the eye contract while her thoughts were occupied by their closeness
Looking into his eyes she felt losing and drowning in them.....she could read thousands of emotions in his eyes while her reflect no less
She was so lost that she completely forgot where she was standing
Their eye contract was more intimate than they were right now.....no one was ready to break it up first
Seems like they were in their own world
"Ayu" , Vishakha called out bringing the her back into the world
Ayesha panicked seeing her looking for her and coming towards the hall while Neil was still lost into her
"Ne....Neil aunty is coming go" , she said fearfully looking at Vishakha while Neil was too lost in her to concentrate
Sensing no response from Neil , Ayesha looked up only to see him already looking at her with emotions she could clearly read in his eyes but here not getting caught was more important
It would be so embarassing if someone would see them like this
No...no....no
"Neil , aunty is coming..........Neil" , this time Ayesha shaked him bringing him out finally
"Neil.....aunty" , Ayesha said and panicked
"Ayesha" , Vishakha called out again
"What should we do now she will see us" , Ayesha said while Neil looked up thinking something
"Neil "
"Shhhhhhhh quiet don't worry nothing will happen...... you trust me right" , he asked while Ayesha remained quiet
"Do you trust me Ayesha" , he asked again
Ayesha nodded while Neil smiled in victory
"Then nothing will happen" , Neil said smirking while Ayesha looked at him confusingly
He roamed his eyes and looked upstairs to notice Adwik coming out
He planned to call him and divert his mom's attention but as if luck was on his favour Rrithik came
"Chaaachiiiiiiii" , he shouted and Vishakha halted
"Oh god you scared me....what happened Rrithik why are you shouting" , she said
He made her turn towards him so that her back was towards Neil and Ayesha
"Ahmm wo Bade Papa ( Neil's Dad ) came with Pandit ji ( Priest ) they are here and he is calling you to welcome him" , he said gesturing Neil to move
"Ok...ok I am going" , Vishakha said and Rrithik nodded nervously
Rrithik took a step towards Neil
"Ahh Rrithik I was looking for Ayesha...she was here only I went to kitchen and after I came she is not here....I don't know where she went" , Vishakha said
"She is here only with whom she should be" , Rrithik muttered under his breathe smiling cunningly
"What" , Vishakha asked
"Aaaa.... nothing Chachi you go I will look for her don't worry" , Rrithik said while Vishakha nodded and left
"Bhai" , Rrithik whispered walking towards him while Ayesha pushed Neil and stood at a proper distance
Neil winced seeing this he doesn't want to stand this far from her which didn't go unnoticed by Rrithik and he smiled looking at his big brother so in love
He knows Neil is not someone who is attracted to girls or is a one who will play along
Before Rrithik could ask something further Adwik and Nia came down and stopped seeing them
Nia shouted seeing Ayesha and hugged her while Ayesha smiled and asked about her wellbeing
"You are looking beautiful Mishtu" , Ayesha complimented her
"Thank You so much" , she replied
"But what you all are doing here everyone is outside and why are you so red bro" , Adwik asked looking at Ayesha and Neil understanding the situation very well
"Ahmm wh..what no it's...it's hot here yeah hot that's why" , Ayesha said panicking waving her hands in front of her face
Neil smirked seeing this which didn't go unnoticed by Ayesha
Shameless , she thought
"Adwik....Neil..... Rrithik.....Nia" , they heard someone calling them
"Coming" , Nia shouted back
"Let's go , come Ayesha di" , Nia said and holding Ayesha's hand she took her
Both the girls went while Rrithik peeped to assure that no one else was there
The two of them turned towards Neil and smiled the best way they could blinking their eyes repeatedly
"What" , Neil asked frowning
"Bhaiiiiii" , they both sang in front of him while Neil made the most annoying face looking at his nothing for goods brothers
He sighed and asked them patiently
"What........care to explain ahmm ? ", he said
"Finally we have got our Bhabi" ( sister in law ) , Adwik said dramatically hugging Rrithik wiping his fake tears
"Yes Adwik finally we can dance on 'mere yaar ki saadi hai' ( song ) " , Rrithik said hugging him back
Both the boys dancing in joy
"Finally we will get someone in our team" , Rrithik spoked still dancing
"Yeah and now we will team against This Hitler and his favourite Nakchadi ( Nia ) " , Adwik said while both did a high - fi laughing and hugging
"Anything more" , Neil said bringing them back from their happy world
They abruptly stopped and realised what they both just spoked in excitement
"Hitler" , Neil repeated their words folding his hands
"Aaa....no no bhai you heard it wrong I....I said halcyon yeahh halcyon" , Adwik said shuttering looking at Rrithik gesturing him to say something as well
"Yes..yes bhai he said hal...hal....what" , Rrithik asked nervously
"Hal....halcyon" , Adwik answered nodding
"I see" , Neil said taking a predator step towards them
"Neil" , they heard someone calling
"Aaaa....bhai I think m....mom is calling me" , Rrithik said gulping down
"Yes...I think she is calling me too let's go Rrithik bhai" , Adwik said and took his hand
"Wait" , Neil said halting their steps
He raised his hand and in response Adwik and Rrithik closed their eyes ready for a smack but it never came
They peeped to look at Neil smiling
Looking at each confusingly they looked at him again still smiling
Pinching their cheeks Neil said
"Let her be my girlfriend first and mom is calling me" , he said and left leaving both the boys in shock
"Rrithik bhai please slap me" , Adwik said and Rrithik slapped him
"Owww what....I didn't mean it in real" , Adwik growled rubbing his cheek
"Was he really our bhaiya" , Rrithik spoked still in shock
"This is what love feels like bhai" , Adwik replied
"And he is madly in love" , Rrithik added
Smiling they looked at each other
<>
"Where were you two" , Rupali asked the boys
"Come now sit" , she added
She looked at Ayesha and Nia talking and laughing which she didn't liked offcourse
Because according to her theory Ayesha was not into her class
"Nia come here" , she called
Excusing herself she came
"Go help your Chachi over there always busy in talking" , she said looking at Ayesha
"So many helpers are there to help her what will I do and look she's just taking to Pandit ji everything is already done" , she replied
"Do as I say go" , Rupali said strictly and Nia defeatedly went making faces
"The puja is about to start please come and take a seat" , Rupali announced to all the guests present
And soon all the places were occupied only the front row and a seat in the second row was left
Ayesha took a step to go but Rupali stopped her
"Oh the first row is for the family members and the second one is for close family friends and the rest after that...find a place that suits you well" , she said sweetly smiling and left
Ayesha looked around to see some people looking at her direction after hearing what Rupali said
Some whispering , some laughing , some looking pitiful towards her
She blinked her eyes several times and gulped hard to swallow all her tears
All this was witnessed by Adwik
He felt miserable about what just happened
He did know his Chachi and her stereotype but Ayesha is not just someone
He sighed and looked at Ayesha's sad and hurtful face it doesn't matter who she is or what she will be in future , right now she is his guest and no one should be treated like this
He sighed in relief once again thinking Neil didn't heard this or god knows what would be his reaction
He looked at Ayesha going to sit at last but he stopped her
"Hey Sweet Pea wait" , he shouted and went to her
"Adwik" , Ayesha said and patted his cheek lovingly
"Sorry I wasn't able to greet you back then how are you know" , she added
"It's alright and I am all good Sweet Pea" , he replied smilingly
"Sweet Pea" , she repeated giggling
"Told you earlier I don't wanna call you out with your name so that's my nickname for you" , he replied cheekily
"Anyways where were you mom was searching for you come now your seat is there at front" , he said a bit louder so that the people who were whispering back then could hear him clearly
And taking Ayesha with her hand he took her to the front
"Ayu beta where were you" , Vishakha asked but instead of her Adwik replied on her behalf
"Scold her mom she was going to sit at back" , Adwik said
"What...why Ayu I already told you that you are not my guest then why were you going" , Vishakha asked
"Please make her understand mom that she is too a family" , Adwik said looking at Rupali emphasising the word family
"Offcourse" , Vishakha replied
"So now Sweet Pea sit here" , Adwik said referring to the seat next to Neil
"Adwik that's your place....this big puja is organised for you so you are supposed to sit beside Neil" , Rupali said hurriedly
"I know Chachi but she is the one because of whom I am standing here in front of you she gave me another life , another life to live and in return I can't give her anything so this is my respect for her and after bhai I will bow my head in front of her" , Adwik said and bowed his head down in respect
"Adwik" , Ayesha gasped with his actions
The guests present were amazed seeing him and started whispering
"Adwik what are doing please don't....
Ayesha couldn't complete her words as tears started flowing down her cheeks seeing him and his respect towards her
Vishakha smiled looking at Adwik
Kalyani Malhotra ( her mother in law ) patted her back and said
"You raised him well" , she complimented Vishakha and her upbringings
"Adwik....I...
"Hey Sweet Pea please don't cry" , he said wiping her tears while Neil looked at him proudly
"Come now it's time for puja"
He said and made her sit beside Neil and he sat beside Neil from the other side
Rrithik went and sat beside Adwik will Nia beside Ayesha
Rrithik patted Adwik's back gesturing that he is proud of him
With this and enchanting of mantras the puja begun with Ayesha's eyes still moist with a warm smile spread across her lips and with Neil glancing her time to time
"Well aren't they looking like a married couple sitting at a puja together" , Rrithik whispered to Adwik
"Indeed they are" , he replied happily seeing them
