Chapter - 32

Sanjana's POV:

Akshay and I am in a car driving to god knows where?

After dragging me out in front of whole family, my parents and few guests I was deposited in this car without a word.

"Akshay, where are we going?" I questioned while rummaging through the car's dashboard.

"Out." He muttered. As if I don't know this.

"So, tell me about Ahaana and your love story?" I asked him out of blue.

Akshay was stunned for a moment and whipped his neck so fast toward me, for a second I thought he broke it.

"Which wife would want to know about her husband's past rendezvous?" He asked exasperated.

"I want to know how in the hell a cold, ruthless devil like you was able to fall in love and impress a girl?" I blurted out.

"What did you just called me? A cold, ruthless devil?" He asked while glaring at me.

I nervously laughed. "I.. I never said that. I meant lovable and caring." I stuttered.

"That's more like it." He said while seeming way too pleased with himself.

"So, the story?" I reminded him while checking my makeup.

"I was in 10th grade when our class had a new transfer student and it was Ahaana. She was very beautiful and she had returned from States. So she was very different from other girls. She became very popular especially among boys because of her dre... I mean you know how high school is?" He paused and retracted when he saw me glaring at him.

"I know, baby." I said in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Yeah, so the teacher made her, me and few other students partner in a science project. I have never been a team worker. As far as I am leading, it is okay. If someone else is leading, that's not my cup of tea."

"Such a revelation." I sarcastically interrupted.

"If you want to know, then don't interrupt." He glared while maneuvering the car.

"I will shut myself up." I replied not wanting him to stop.

"So, there were Pranab, Akshita, Neil, Sonal, Ahaana and me in our group. Akshita used to like Neil but was girlfriend of Pranab. Sonal used to like me but was girlfriend of Neil. I was in a half-relationship with Nitara.----What the heck is half-relationship? ----But she was part of another group. Nitara and mine situation was a little complicated. We were casually dating but we were also not in a relationship. "

My mind was baffled with all the complicated relationships. Is high school like this? I questioned myself. Thank God, I stayed away from all the drama.

"What are you thinking?" Akshay aksed.

"Nothing, just that how clear your friends and your relationship was?" I commented absent-mindely.

"Yeah, everybody knew what they wanted." He agreed.

--He is dense. Tell me again how is he CEO of such a big conglomeration again?--

"It was just that we knew who we feel for but there are so many immaterial things which become a hindrance while taking decisions when we are not mature enough. That's what happened between my friends. Sometimes, it is social status, sometimes it is fear of rejection and so many. "

-That's why he is CEO of such a big corporation. - Sneered my Subconscious mind at me.

"I see." I murmured, listening to all this drama I already had a headache.

"What happened next?" I questioned when he did not start reminiscing his past.

"So, now Ahaana was in my group and Nitara was not, so obviously the distance between Nitara and I grew. Ahaana and I started spending time together and I realised that I like her. At that time, I was not sure whether it was love or not. So, I did not pursued her. When she started going out with someone I realised that I loved her." He stopped talking and glanced at me.

My facial expressions were indifferent but my heart was bleeding inside. Why it is so painful to hear about his past?

"Sanjana, you know na, that I don't love her now?" He asked while parking the car and turning towrads me.

"Ofcourse, I know." I tried to be non-chalant about it but was not able to control my emotions and tears started dropping from my eyes like the damn rain drops from heaven.

Akshay' s POV:

Sanjana was not able to hear about me loving someone else. She tried to manipulate her emotions but was not able to. It pained me seeing her crying.

I gently undid her seatbelt and took her inmy arms.

"Baby, calm down." I whispered in her ear while rubbing her back trying to soothe her.

"Y..You pr.. promise that you will never leave me." She asked while hiccuping.

"I promise, sweetheart." I said while kissing her on her forehead gently.

"Calm down now. We have reached." I said while wiping her tears away.

"By the way, you look like baby racoon while crying." I tried to lighten the room but it backfired. Sanjana's demeanour changed within a second. From crying to angry witch.

"Ofcourse, I will look like a racoon to you. You find that Ahaana beautiful." She muttered angrily and dashed out of car.

When did I said I find Ahaana beautiful? I questioned myself. She was not even part of the conversation. And where the heck is she going, when she don't even know the place?

I took after her and decided to let her realize that she don't know where she is. After few meters, turned so abruptly that she ill balanced and was about to fall. I tried to catch her but was unable to. She latched on my arm to prevent herself from falling but she dragged me with herself. I tried to lessen the impact of the fall and my weight on her by putting my arms around her. We both fell down with a thud and I was on top of her totally.

Sanjana's POV:

The weight of Akshay on me felt like a heavy boulder falling on me. How the hell in the movies the hero takes the fall of heroine and here I feel like I had been hit by a bus?

Akshay as quickly as possible removed himself from me and made me stand up.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" He questioned frantically.

"I am fine. Just my back aches." I answered trying to hide my pain. Akshay lifted me in his arms bridal style and I was grateful that I was not standing anymore.

I glanced at my surroundings and find we are in some outskirt estate.

"Where are we?" I questioned him.

"We are at Singhania's estates." He took me to the villa and without doubt it was one of the nost luxurious place I had ever seen. Not that I have seen many but it will put any villa to shame.

Akshay came after 2 minutes with some pain relief in his hand. He handed me that and I gulped all. When I tried to get up I cried out in pain.

"What the heck was the need for you to get up? Where is it paining?" He shouted at me.

"My back." I muttered.

"Take off your top. I will be back in a minute." With that he dashed out of the room. I took off my top and my bra and laid down on my stomach.

"Baby, I am just going to give you a massage, just tell me where it pains." Akshay muttered and with that he applied some oil on my back and massaged it.

It feels so good to have his hands on me. I enjoyed it fully. When he was about to get up, I turned abruptly forgetting that I was topless.

Akshay eyes clouded when they landed on me. He sweeped down and arrested my lips in his. His kiss was full of emotions and passion. His hands roaming on my waist and breasts.

It did not take us long to become one in every sense. Heart, Body and Soul.
