It's Divya

Divya POV

***********

"Dance with me" That husky voice said. It's none other than my Daksh. I smiled and turning around I wrapped my hands around his neck.

"OK" I smiled. Daksh pulled out his phone, and played a song. (Main hoon hero tera romantic song).

He held me close, my body moulding into his as if they were made for him. We were dancing slowly.

(on the pages of eyes,

I had written a hundred times,

the love that was there in words,

could not be said with words..)

Daksh twirled me around and pulled me closer to him. There was only an inch between us. We were looking into each other eyes.

(I am angry with myself,

because I am voiceless,

my silences are a punishment. That'sthat's what my heart thinks.

Still, I don't know,

with what right should I say thatthat I am your hero...)

We were moving little by little, from side to side. Daksh was slowly kissing my neck and shoulder. I closed my eyes, enjoining this beautiful moment. My heart, my whole being is his and only his.

(Because of you, I have found

all the wishes to live,

that I find place to live in your heart,

that is what I am trying...

I should be just yours,

I should not live without you. Thisthis is what I have wished for,

that's what my heart thinks.

Still, I don't know,

with what right should I say thatthat I am your hero...)

He brushed his lips against mine softly. I opened my eyes and wiggled my eyebrows at him. He gave me a little wink. I blushed.

"What are you doing to me sweetheart?" He said softly, giving me a small kiss on the corner of my lips.

Before we could go to any further, I heard a loud sound of glass breaking on the hard floor. We startled and pulled away from each other. We turned around and saw Maya standing there, with a fuming expression.

"What happened Maya?" Daksh asked in a calm tone but anger clearly evident in his voice. Maya changed her expression into a gentle one in a fraction of the second.

"Oops, sorry. I accidentally dropped the juice glass. Sorry for disturbing you guys. I wasn't careful, sorry" she said with a fake guilty expression.

"It's okay, just be careful next time" Daksh warned her and went into his cabin. I sighed.

"Why are you doing this Maya? You will gain nothing, absolutely nothing by doing this. Maya, you can't make someone love you. You can't force love. It just doesn't work like that" I told her politely.

Maya does not understand that we can't force anyone to love us. Sometimes I really feel bad for her. But most of the time, I hate her.

"These are all your f***king faults. Because of you, I lost my Daksh. You took my love and left me helpless Divya. You will suffer every day of your life. I'll break you into a million pieces just like this glass. And I'll make sure Daksh breaks your heart" she yelled at me angrily. I chuckled at her words.

"Maya, you can't lose what you never had, you can't keep what's not yours. What you are feeling for him is not love. It's an obsession, and it's not healthy for you. Anyways, you may not understand today or tomorrow, but eventually God will keep you on track" I said and left the room.

I went back to my studio and sat on my chair exhaling a tired breath. I checked the time to find its already time for a lunch break. I sighed, stood up and walked towards the canteen to find Riya and Veena already eating and chatting.

I ordered myself a sandwich and went to sit beside them.

"Hey Divya, why are you late today?" Riya asked.

"I was a little busy" I said, taking a bite from my sandwich.

"Divya, we are planning to go out of the city this Saturday. Do you want to join in?" Veena asked excitedly.

"I have to ask my dad's permission. I will inform you soon" I told her.

"Dad's permission? Divya, why you are asking your dad's permission. You're 22. You have full rights to make your own decisions" Veena said.

"Veena, I still have a habit of asking my dad if I can go out or not. What if I am 22? Parents always know what is the best for their children" I told her.

"OK baby, you can ask your dad's permission" veena said teasingly.

"Hey, what about Karthik?" Riya asked suddenly. I stiffened hearing his name.

"I don't think he will come" Veena said sadly.

"Why?" I asked her confusingly.

"Because I rarely see him these days. He stopped coming to lunch with us" Riya said.

"There is something bothering him all day, but he refuses to tell me what it is" Veena said. I didn't know what to say, so I just sat there silently.

"Okay guys, I need to be at the reception at 1 o'clock. Bye, see you all after work" Riya said and left the cafeteria.

"Veena, can I ask you something?" I asked her, hesitatingly.

"Of course, ask me Divya" she said.

"Does he love someone?"I asked her.

"Who?" She asked looking at me with a confused expression.

"Karthik" I told her and paused, "Because you two are very close and know about one another very well, so?" I said, She looked stunned.

"Uhmm, I am 100 percent sure. He doesn't love anyone but he...." she cleared her throat and continued nervously "I think he likes you."

"What?? How can you say that?" I asked her.

"Karthik had a photo of yours in his mobile wallpaper. I saw it once and even asked him what was going on, but he said that he saw you as a friend. Later, he simply diverted from the topic" Veena told.

"I can't believe that you knew about it, and yet you didn't inform me" I yelled at her. I can see the guilt in her face as she looked at me.

"I am sorry Divya. It's just. I don't know how to tell you. I'm still not sure about his feelings. And anyway, I'm not good at predicting things" She said sadly. I didn't say anything to her. I stood up from the chair and left the cafeteria.

On the way, I was thinking about Karthik. I've always liked him as a friend. He told me he loved someone else. However, Veena says that he doesn't. Then why would he call me to come over to his apartment that night? Why did he ask for my help to propose to his girlfriend? I think I'm going to lose my mind!

Suddenly, Karthik's proposal practice flashed through my mind.

I don't know where to start. I miss you when you are not around. I want you even when you are miles away. My heart aches for you. Please stay with me always and don't go away. The darkness over my life can only be driven out by your smiles. You are like a medicine to me. I want to be with you forever and ever. We are meant to be together. I Love you so much Divya.

I love you so much Divya.

Realization dawned on me.

Oh my god!

He clearly said Divya that night. When I asked him about it, he told me that I misheard the name.

It's not Diya. It's Divya, my name, me!

He was indirectly proposing to me that night. Oh my god! His intentions are not probably genuine.

What is his motive behind this whole proposal drama? Why is he doing all this? I can't understand his motives. It's so confusing. Is he planning something against me?

Oh god! What have I got myself into?

Daksh always warned me to stay away from him, and I should have listened to him. Should I tell him that I went into his house?

If I tell him, he will definitely be angry at me for not listening to him. However, I don't want to hide anything from him this time. The guilt is eating me alive. I love him more than anything. I have to stay calm and accept whatever punishment he gives me. I will take it without any question or complaint.

I walked straight to his cabin. I slowly opened the door of his cabin and walked in. Daksh looked up from the laptop. He stood up and to me with worry.

"What happened sweetheart? Are you okay? Your face looks so pale!" He asked me in a concerned voice.

"Daksh I-I went to t-to meet Kar..."

I didn't even get a chance to finish the sentence as someone knocked his cabin door.

"Come in" Daksh ordered.

"Mr. Verma is waiting for you in conference room sir" His PA. Rahul informed.

"Tell him to wait" Daksh replied.

"Sorry sir, but it's quite urgent" Rahul said.

"Rahul, just go to the conference room, and I'll come there in a minute" Daksh ordered and Rahul left the room.

"Tell me, what's bothering you?" Daksh asked me while looking concerned.

He has an important meeting now, and I don't want to spoil his mood. I can't tell him the truth, not now. I'll tell him maybe later, I thought to myself.

"Daksh, please just go. You're late for meeting, and we can talk later about it" I told him. He sighed.

"Okay. I'll talk to you later" He said, pecking my lips and left the cabin. I let out a tired breath.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was my Dad. I attended the call with a smile.

"Hello Dad, where are you?" I asked him, excited.

"Doll, I'm home. Please come soon" Dad said happily.

"Dad, I'm coming in 20 minutes" I said and hang up the phone.

I want to inform Daksh, but he's in a meeting. So I decided to leave him a message.

'I am leaving to home. Dad has come' I texted him and left the cabin.

On the way, I got notification in my phone from Daksh.

"Take my car and ask my driver to drop you." He replied. I smiled reading his text.

He always takes care of me first. I'm very lucky to have him in my life. Before I met him, my life was good, but now it is completely beautiful. I smiled happily and went outside. I told the driver to take me home, and we began to drive.

Soon I reached home. I went inside and saw my dad sitting on the couch, watching TV.

"Dad" I shouted happily, as I ran to him. I hugged him and let my happy tears flow.

"What happened to my doll? When did she turn into a cry baby?" Dad asked me teasingly.

"Your doll missed you so much, and I know you too missed me, didn't you?" I asked him.

"Of course, I missed you with my whole heart. You know, You truly are an amazing gift from my wife Ritika. I am ever grateful for her" Dad said with tears forming before his eyes. He kissed my forehead lovingly.

"Don't cry, I brought you a gift" Dad said.

The word 'gift' brought a sudden excitement in me.

"You brought a gift too? Thank you so much dad" I said as I rushed into his room. As soon as my gaze landed on the 'gift', I chuckled loudly. It is almost of my height.

I wasted no minute and grabbed the gift. I immediately opened the gift, like an excited child, grinning.

Tearing the gift wrapper and the box, my eyes went wide when I saw a...............

**************************************

Precap - "You promised me that you wouldn't cheat on me, but I was so stupid to believe you" Daksh said, and I was startled by the sound of his angry voice.

How is it??

Finally, Divya realized Karthik's intention.

What will happen next?

Also any idea what is the gift?
