Part 20
2 days later,
Sharanya's pov.
He, I mean, The Brown-Eyed Monster, was acting strangely. He was getting cosy with Anusha Mam. I knew he wanted to hurt me. That our moment didn't matter to him, but it was something special for me. I think I should stop thinking about all this because it is going to harm my mental health only.
He was leaving for Pune tonight, and I was so scared. I didn't get a chance to talk to Yashvi, nor did I go to college today.
God, please help me.
Priyank was more dangerous than Brown Eyed Monster because he never looked me in the eyes with malice, but samar ughhh please help me.
I went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water for myself. I turned when I felt a presence in my back and saw a brown-eyed monster.
His one look and my heartbeat quickened.
Ughh concentrate..
I have nothing to say to him. It's not like he was going to listen to my rants. I was about to walk past him but stopped feeling a clutch in my wrist.
I jerked his hand, "Don't touch my hand, sir, it's inappropriate. You have a wife. You should spend your time with her. " I said with a tight-lipped smile and turned to leave, only to get pulled by him and my back collided with his hard chest.
"Aren't you using your small mouth too much, huh?" His breath fanned on my ear and the side of my neck, making me shiver.
"Let me go," I said, wriggling free of his grasp.
"Shh, stand still," he commanded, and then I felt his fingers on my back and my eyes widened.
His finger held the zipper of my kurta and pulled it up while my body erupted with goosebumps as his fingers touched my bare skin. The poor bottle which was in my hand fell down due to this sudden unknown sensation.
I quickly moved away from him and ran out of the kitchen without picking up the bottle.
What the hell was that?

Neil was sitting in his room checking those files. He was leaving tonight for Pune and had to stay there for a week, but his mind was preoccupied with Sharanya. He was thinking about her!!
He knew Priyank wasn't good and he didn't like the way Priyank always treated her and humiliated her. He couldn't leave her alone. He knew she was capable of handling herself, but still.
One idea clicked in his mind, and he quickly took his phone and dialled the number of Yashvi because he knew only she could help him because Yashi's boyfriend and father were both accompanying Neil to Pune.
"Hello Neil? How are you? " He heard her chirpy voice.
"I am fine and I hope you are doing well. How's Uncle? " He asked.
"Yeah, dad is doing well," she replied from the other side, "Now tell me anything important?"
"Okay, I need your help," Neil said after a long pause.
"Say na?"
"I am going to Pune tonight, and Sharanya will be alone in this mansion. Can you please take care of her? " "She is new in Mumbai," he asked softly, as if requesting her
"Is that even a question to ask? Of course I'll take care of her!! She is like my baby," Yashvi said from the other side, while Neil sighed in relief. "Even though I was planning to call Sharanya at my home because dad and Ishaan are both leaving for Pune."
"Thank you, Yashvi," he thanked her.
"No need, bro, I'll come pick up Sharanya tonight," Yashvi said.

She was studying, sitting on the couch facing the balcony. Just then she heard a knock, and Neil stepped in.
Seeing him, she got up from the couch, tucking her hair strands behind her ear.
"Pack your bags," he said, and her eyes shot up at her, like why was he saying this?
"Huh?" She uttered, "I am confused."
"Pack your bags, you are going to Yasvi's house," he said again, and this time she squealed and hugged him.
"Oh my God, thank you so much!" she exclaimed, tightly hugging him as his body stiffened as it came into contact with hers.
"Oops, sorry," she apologised as reality slammed into her and tried to break the hug, but her duppata was stuck with his shirt button. Her eyes widened and she struggled. Her heart was racing as she felt him close to her.
His minty breath fanning on her face. He looked at her lovely face as she struggled to remove her duppata. There were frown lines on her forehead with flushed cheeks and lips pouting a little. He wanted to taste her lips again.
Nervousness washed over her as she felt his piercing gaze on her. She looked down and tried an uncountable number of times to remove the duppata.
She left her fingers on her cheeks, which made her freeze at her spot. His finger got hold of her silky hair strands, which he tucked behind her ear while his other hand encircled her waist as he pulled her closer to himself.
A gasp escaped her lips, and she looked up, staring into his brown eyes, which were soft today. He bent his neck a little, leaning close to her face while his fingers were drawing circles on her back.
She felt him leaning closer to her, making their noses touch, and then something struck her mind. It was a reality slap to her face.
She moved back, swallowing the sudden desperate sensation inside her, snatching her dupata harshly, making it torn.
"It's wrong," she stuttered, turning to the other side. No, she wouldn't let him touch her because it was inappropriate. She saw him with his first wife, and that they were sleeping in the same room.
He took a deep breath and mumbled.
"Here, take this." She turned and found cash in his hand, which he took out of his pocket.
She shook her head no and moved back, denying, "I don't want your money," she said.
"You might need this, Sharanya," he said softly.
"I don't need your money, sir." I am fine like this only, "she replied.
"Sharanya I won't be there for a week. What if you need something? What if it's something very important? " He was trying to make her understand.
"I am not a gold digger, sir!" "Meri fitrat nahi hai bade ghar ke ladko ko fasana aur unke paise me aish karna (I don't have a hobby of trapping rich boys and do enjoy their money)." Sharanya said, looking into his eyes. Those were the same words he said on their wedding night.
"Don't look at me like that, sir. These were the same words you said to me on our wedding night, remember?" She said as she prepared to walk away, but a few words from his mouth shocked her and she was frozen in place!
