Tani's pov

"Tani,,,pass that water cane......."

Mrs. Gowenka said to me. I'm helping her in the garden area.

The chiefs came back 10 days ago. I like Mrs Gowenka's presence. She has a motherly vibe. Except few things, her company is good.

"Hey.....missing Seyit?"- Mrs Gowenka pushed me by her elbow and asked very mischievously.

I mentally rolled my eyes.

After that night, he left somewhere. May be for his business.

His absence is like a bliss for me and she is thinking that I'm gonna miss that devil?

I'm breathing freely in his absence. I hate him so much. I really never knew that oneday i will hate someone to that extent. He is the curse of my life.

"Is he romantic?"- Mrs Gowenka asked me with a wink.

"Who?"- i was confused.

"Your husband, idiot.....actually, I'm very much curious to know how he treats you when you are alone....did he hold your hand and stared deeply into your eyes.....or may be he engulfed you from back and kissed your cheeks....."

My face flushed when i heard her words. Mrs. Gowenka is a very romantic person and i have only seen these kinds of scenes on movies.

But Seyit Solanki doing these things???

I started to cough while imagining Seyit as a romantic hero.

This is not even coming to my imagination. Whenever anyone mention his name in the house, his devilish blue eyes with a cruel smirk appeared on my mind. According to me he is a true depiction of Satan.

"These mafia men are very much unromantic.....i always expected from Mr. Gowenka, that he will do something romantic for me but true to say......they only know how to fuck a woman hard.....They just know to claim and possess....they have no softness in them.....but we women, always prefer love and care over sex....we want to be cherished....but only few men are there in this mafia, who can actually treat their wife like a queen......i hope Seyit treats you well....."

I was lost in somewhere after hearing her words. Her words are thoughtfull, at the same time she is way too straightforward to say such things. I was never a romantic person. Life never gave me a chance to lead it by imagination. I was always thrown in the stone of harsh reality.

But after hearing her words, someway my heart did a somersault. May be deep down i also want love and care. But i never dreamt of a prince charming like Tiara. May be it felt good when someone truly loves you. Though i have no experience on this matter.

"You didn't tell me how Seyit treats you?"- she repeats her question.

I smiled slightly.

He treats me so well. Always pulling my hair, clutching my jaw, throwing me into the floor, dragging me by my arms, insulting me day and night and telling me how ugly i am.

"He treats me well"- i replied.

"By the way.....did you able to handle him in the bed? These Solanki men are way too much energetic and wild....and look at you Tani, you are so fragile and cute....."- she winked at me.

Whenever she mentioned about these things, my head started to spin.

But Jay appeared at the scene and saved me from her interrogation.

"Hey, Tani...need your help in the pool side....."

"I'm coming...."

I almost ran with Jay. After reaching the pool i took a sigh of relief.

"Thanks for saving me...."- i said to him.

Jay smiled broadly.

"I'm always there for you..."- he said while removing a hair strand from my face.

"Now, tell me what help you want?"- i asked him enthusiastically.

"We can swim together in the pool and enjoy the day....what's say?"- he asked me.

I smiled hesitantly.

"In day light? Anyone can see..."- i said to him.

"So what? Cmon....go and change...."

I gulped. I can't wear the swimming costume and swim infront of him.

"Some other day...."

I turned my head but within a second he carried me on his arms and jumped into the pool.

"Jay....what the...."- i was coughing but he was laughing continuously and moving inside the pool by taking me on his arms.

"Jay...put me down...."- i said to him by showing fake anger but he was laughing so hard after seeing my state.

Laughing is really contagious. I also joined him and started to throw water at him. He put me down immediately.

"Okay....okay....now have this..."

He started to throw more water at me. We both are laughing and playing like kids. It felt like we are in a laughing competition.

Finally we both came out of the pool. Still we are laughing. We sat beside the pool.

"Always keep smiling Tani....."- he said to me by holding my hand.

"Tomorrow i have thrown a party at my house.....you are coming...."- he announced.

"Any special occasion?"- i asked him.

"Yeah very special.....i have found someone so special in my life...."- he said by looking into my eyes.

"Really? I will be glad to meet her....by the way, do i know her?"- i asked him.

"Yeah...you know her very well....i will be waiting for you and one more thing....i will send a dress for you, i will be very happy if you accept my gift and come to my party by wearing the dress"

"Sorry Jay....but i would like to wear what i have in my collection.....please don't mind"- i said to him.

"Ohh no....you are mistaking me Tani...I'm sending the dress because i want to see you in that dress.....i won't mind if you come in my party by wearing any of your dresses.....I'm not judging you.....it's just...."

He was trying to explain. I smiled broadly. He has a pure heart.

"I know...you are a good person Jay...okay, send me your dress...."

..............................

I was moving towards the room to get changed. I heard a voice from a corner. I never do the evasdropping but the words make me stand in the place rooted.

It was Sandy's voice. She was whispering something on phone.

"Just shut up....stop blackmailing me like that.....Seyit won't believe you.....And stop pressurising me like that...you will get what you want but keep patience....."

Suddenly i saw a caterpillar on my kurta and i jerked it in fear and immediately a vase fallen into the floor without my knowledge. May be that caterpillar entered my dress from the garden.

I lift up my head and found Sandy standing infront of me.

"What the hell?? Are you evasdropping me??"- she yelled.

"No, i was just passing from here"- i said.

"Stop lying bitch....how dare you?? Let Seyit return.....i will tell him that you are spying on me....."- she spatted so venomously.

"Do whatever you want.....I really don't care you know.....by the way that night Deccan was mistaking me as you.....he told so many things that night.....about some Dylan...."

As soon as i said that i found her face getting absolutely pale. She was scared. I was really shocked after seeing her expression. Why she is that much scared?

I'm sure she has done something very hideous.

"Just wait and watch bitch......you are dead....you are so dead"- she walked away from there.

I saw a different kind of cruelty on her face. She was looking so dangerous when she said that.

I slowly moved at my room.

.........................

I reached at Jay's party venue in the evening. But i was confused when i found very few people near the pool side. It's not a huge gathering. May be he has invited his closed ones only.

Jay has send me a light blue kurta and a jeans. It was very simple and elegant exactly of my taste. I couldn't hold myself in admiring his gift.

As soon as his eyes landed on mine, he almost ran towards me. He was in his casuals, looking as handsome as always. The most charming thing about Jay is his smile. So pure and heart warming.

"Hey.....looking stunning..."- he complemented me.

"Thanks.....you are also looking great"- i said by reciprocating the smile.

"Come.....let's dance...."- he almost pulled me with him.

We started to dance slowly. He was cracking jokes and i was laughing continuously. I'm really enjoying this. After a long time, I'm smiling that much freely. He is a good friend like Rahul. I'm missing Rahul a lot. I have no contact with him for one month.

The music turned slow and i found Jay wrapping his arms around my waist. He pulled me closer to his chest and i placed my arms on his shoulder.

He was staring at me with something on his eyes. I felt little weird. I have never seen him staring at me like that. What is going on!

I lowered my eyes unable to meet his deep staring. I'm feeling little uncomfortable.

"I'm hungry...let's eat something..."- i tried to get away but with my surprise he held me more closer.

"Jay......what.....i....."

"Ssshhhhhhh......"- he sushed my lips with his finger.

We keep dancing for few minutes. Then finally we went to have the food. The food was so tasty. But Jay was silent. It felt like he was in a deep thought.

I felt a different kind of awkwardness was residing between us. What happened so suddenly to him?

I was standing in a corner alone. I saw Jay's staring at me continuously. Finally he came near me and caught my wrist. He almost dragged me to a solitary place. Noone is around us. I looked at him in confusion. He is little drunk.

"Jay....are you alright?"- i asked him gently.

He shook his head violently and then all of a sudden a cupped my face.

"I'm not fine Tani...not at all........I'm.....i just....i.....its....I love you Tani"

I was speechless.

He left me. He was looking frustrated.

"I wish i met you before Seyit....it's getting difficult for me to stay away from you....i want you Tani....I'm in love with you so madly....i have never seen an honest person like you....You are so different.....You don't even know how much attractive you are....and whenever i was thinking that you are married to Seyit, i just can't handle this....it's paining my heart.....i want you all for me....."

I don't know what to say. My mind went numb.

He held my hand.

"Look at me......Do you love me Tani? Can you see your soulmate in me?? I promise, i will give you all the happiness you deserve.....just say yes...please...."

I saw tears on his eyes. But i really don't know what to say. I don't even know how it feels when we engaged with someone romantically.

Jay is my friend. I feel comfortable around him but i never felt the beating of my heart whenever he was close to me. I never felt any spark whenever he touched me.

"Jay.....you are my friend.....but i don't know what is love or how it feels when someone in love...."- i tried to convey him my heart and i saw his eyes in pain.

"Tani, you will start loving me.....just try to look at me in a different way....I can give you everything....i will never make you cry....When, Seyit will give you divorce, i will marry you.....please say Yes...please..."

He was now pulling me on his chest. He is not in his senses. I don't want to push him but I'm not liking this closeness too.

"Jay....please...we will talk tomorrow...you are drunk...."

I tried to make myself free from his hold but he was stronger than me.

"Just let me kiss you once....please...."

Now he was trying to kiss me. I felt so helpless. I tried to get away from his hold.

I moved my head and his lips connected to my cheek. I closed my eyes in nervousness.

He was kissing my cheek very softly.

But i felt nothing! Except extreme awkwardness.

"You are so beautiful....."- he murmured on my skin.

This is not right.

I was about to push him and i opened my eyes.

But what i saw infront of me made my blood absolutely frozen!

I saw Seyit standing just few meters away from us and staring at our direction.

But the thing is his eyes. He was looking extremely deranged and beastly. His eyes were absolutely dark. His whole aura is only screaming danger

and destruction.

I hold Jay and tried to push him away but he was kissing my neck.

I was really scared this time, don't know the reason.

My instincts are only saying that tonight will be the scariest night of my life!
