He started walking towards her and she struggled to even breathe.
No it couldn’t be happening! Her carefully erected defenses started crumbling, as she drank in his sight to her heart‟s yearning. Strong lithe body that was well toned by rigorous and fanatic workouts. A handsome face that was a treat to watch with an aura that exuded his natural charm that was lethal. A slender waist that hinted at his regal bearing, and a jaw that was firmly set on an endless expanse of shoulders that spanned forever. His hips swayed as he lazily walked to her, his eyes never wavering from hers, challenging her all the time to make a move. Her eyes filled up with love, as he reached her and she held on tight to the cloth hang-on bag as if her life depended on it.
He looked at her then! His eyes raking her face and then lowered to the rest of her taking in every detail, and as they came back to regard her with a quiet disdain, he simply said, “Chalo!” (Let‟s go!)
“Er...Hum” (Er...I...)
Khushi stalled and found her wrist clamped into the strong hand of the man who narrowed his eyes at her in a disdainful mute statement...
“You know I can‟t!” She said in a low voice, lest her voice might betray her shattered heart.
“You know that I can‟t leave you alone too.” He said and dragged her with him.
“Sir...” she ventured, but gulped hard as he turned and glared at her-no doubt for the way she addressed him...
Ok! She had to first get to him to tackle him and it was impossible usually if the Prince chose to be dense.
She then called him, “Maan...” And this time she paused, as he sucked in his breath and looked at her with such hurt in his eyes that she just could not take it and tried to stem the tears gathering in her eyes, but in vain...
“How could you?” He asked her letting go of her hand in one big shirk that made her to falter back and loose balance for a moment.
“I...I told you I...er... am like this only” she said adamantly.
Right that’s the idea just keep it up. It might just work!
Her inner voice told her. But something about him alerted her. He knew! She could see that! May be not everything but he knew she loved him heart of hearts!“Oh! You did alright!” He gritted his teeth and hauled her by her waist in an unexpected jerk saying, “But from now on... you won‟t be that way... your put on self has to go! Forever!”
“How dare you! I have no intention to do what...er...ever” she said raising her chin in defiance. But when he looked down into her eyes, she lost herself, as she drowned into the depths of his blue eyes. They were deep blue right then, as his anger was palpable. His body was absolutely rigid with rage, and she could sense that leashed aggression in him, which he kept under the garb of a very poised personality.
“You will! Whether you like it or not! And may I warn you this is just the beginning Khushi. And I promise you that I will make every second worthwhile! Every second!” He spat at her.But I don‟t want to go with you” she wailed helplessly, even as he dragged her with him towards the truck.
“Tough luck! You don‟t have a choice!” He sneered at her.
“What do you mean?” She asked him.
“I meant what I said” he said and added softly, “Stop chasing the Rainbow Khushi.”
