Chapter 38 - Secret revealed?

"Just talking about someone, Keshav" replying to him, Avni looks at Shanaya and Riya and pointing to both of them, spoke, "Keshav meet my friends Shana and Riya."

Shaking his hand with Shana, Keshav spoke"Nice to meet you, Shana" and did the same thing with Riya.

Even though he was a handsome man, Shana found him nowhere close to Vihaan or Vansh. She had no idea if she was correct, but she could swear she saw something evil in his eyes.

She was distracted when she heard Avni asking Riya" What's his name?" when Keshav went away.

Before Riya could answer, Shanaya's phone rang and, she excused after saying" I am sorry, but I have to take this call, it's a professional call."

Ascending the stairs to reach the first floor, she saw it crowded and took the stairs for the second floor. Picking the call at the final bell, Shanaya spoke "Good noon, Mr Dhananjay."

She laughed a little listening to Mr Dhanajay response and replied him back" It's not like this Mr Dhananjay.. Today is my friend's Haldi ceremony and, you know how exhausting an Indian marriage make a person."

Listening to his response, Shanaya notices the stains of Haldi on her right hand and remember how she forgot to wash it. Ending the conversation with "I will inform you within two days, Mr Dhananjay" she ended the call with her left hand and ascended the stairs that led to the third floor.

Even though she was aware of Vihaan's room on the second floor, she could not risk using his bathroom, on top of considering the day before yesterday's incident.

"I can't believe myself! How could I say it like this" accusing herself of the incident, she opened the gate of the unoccupied room and moved inside.

Looking absentmindedly at herself in the mirror, she opens the water tap and tried removing the stain with the help of soap. Struggling for five minutes, she finally gets rid of the stain and clears the basin with the tissue paper. Drying her hand with the towel, she adjusted her hair and finally noticed herself.

Noticing her eyes in the mirror, she remembered the night incident with Vihaan and wondered why she would get jealous of such an issue. It definitely was not her business how he reacts with others, but she asks herself once again" Am I getting affected by his behaviour?"

The moment she remembered his touch, she stiffened and saw her cheeks turning tomato red. With her heart beating in anticipation, her body urged her mind to seek his touch and, she put her hands on the basin with a shocked expression." What the fuċk Shanaya! How can you crave for his touch!. He is not a person for me, not good for me. He is a playboy, can easily hurt anyone, and he just wants sėx from the opposite gender."

Consoling her body and heart, she again opened the tap and, splash the water on her face. Continuing it for two to three minutes, she closed the tap and drying it partially, turn toward the exit gate when she bumped into someone and, she shrieked out" What the.."

Her right cheek was pressed on the person's ċhėst, listening to the heartbeats and she need not see the other person to recognise him when his right hand was already at her upper back to support her from falling and left-hand snaked around her waist.

She did not look at Vihaan when she heard him asking" Are you okay?", but instead get away from him and nodded her head when she was at an appropriate distance.

"I had no idea you were here" looking at her properly in her flushed cheeks, Vihaan gave the explanation to prevent any kind of misunderstanding.

"I came to wash my hand after applying Haldi on Dee" speaking, Shanaya looked at him properly for the first time since their encounter in his yellow kurta and, her mind speak to her"Damn! How can he look so good in everything he wears."

"Same with me" talking normally, he moves away a little to give the path to her to exit, when he remembered something and said to her," I think I mistakenly applied Haldi on your upper back while saving you from falling."

Without saying anything to him, she moved back to the basin and tying her open hair in the messy bun, turned her back in the direction of the mirror. Surely enough, she saw the stain on the left side of her back and turned her back toward Vihaan, to pick tissue papers.

Standing at the entrance, Vihaan saw her turning toward the mirror from her left side and keep on watching her attempts to remove it.

Without his consent, perverted thoughts came to his mind and, his eyes moved from her left side of the upper back to the right, but gone were those thoughts the moment he noticed something inked there.

Busy removing the stain, Shanaya did not notice him approaching her and, turned herself at vampire speed meanwhile bumping her back on the basin base, when she heard him saying" You have his name engraved on your skin" and, saw him looking at her with expressionless eyes and face.

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

Finally, Vihaan saw the name of "Saar" engraved on her skin! I wonder how will he reacts, considering his infatuation for Shana!

Also, Riya is getting married within a year. Do you think it will happen? No one knows what's gonna happen in future!
