Chapter 130 - Her earrings

Mrs Rathores could not believe what they heard.

Sitting in the Hall on the freezing night of the December, looking at Vansh and Avni, they exchange shocking looks with each other and turned their attention back to them.

Mrs Shakti hands were occupied with the sweater she was knitting for Anubhav but they were no longer making any progress.

She was too shocked to function.

Seated beside her, Mrs Chaya put the fashion magazine she was reading on the table fastly yet with grace.

Clearing her right ear with her finger, she spoke with confusion and surprise masking her face" Sorry...What did you say?"

It was not like she did not hear it correct for the first time, just like Mrs Shakti Rathore who remained frozen as if she had heard the most unexpected thing..

Understanding her hidden gesture behind her expressions, Avni and vansh glanced at each other, deciphering who should tell her, again.

No one was ready to repeat all of it, again.

Clearing her throat as if speaking again requires a lot of dare Avni had just spoken "Saaransh loves Shana" when she was interrupted by Shakti Rathore " And Shana is Vihaan's past!? "

Definitely not a good way to start.

"What the hell is wrong with these children! " Pounding the table with her right palm, Mrs Chaya spoke or rather shouted at a low voice.

Guess, Vihaan got his temper from his mother.

"How could they hide it from us? " still not believing they have missed such a big news, Mrs Shakti spoke while looking at no one in particular on her left side.

She might have been appearing cool, but it was the silence before the storm and everyone present in the room knew it.

She was furious, very furious.

Mrs Shakti was the only person aside from Saaransh who knew Vihaan's secret. Vihaan had never kept anything from her, from telling her his first breakup to his last relationship.

But never ever they have discussed Shanaya and for the first time Mrs Shakti was realising she did not know Vihaan at all.

He might not be her child, but he was closer to her than Avni and Vansh, and it needed no proof.

"Mom. "Speaking together at the same time, Vansh and Avni spoke in an explanatory tone, knowing the effect it would have on her.

Meanwhile, Mrs Shakti did not speak at all. She kept looking at her phone but Avni and Vansh knew the kind of silence it was.

Before they could speak anything more, they saw her standing up from her chair with her phone on her ears and heard her saying" Shanaya... We need to talk. "

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

Vihaan' s mind was not in the meeting at all, like other few days.

Sitting in the meeting room wearing blue shirt in his signature style with black pant, his eyes were on the metallic earrings of Shanaya.

For the last half an hour, he was only noticing the design of it, the size of it and the structure of it.

And to his amazement, he was finding it lovely as if knowing her earrings would be knowing her.

With every passing days, her feelings for Vihaan were going out of her control and to add on top of it, Vihaan was not letting any chance miss to make his feelings aware.

"Jerk!" Screamed her mind for her mind knew he was doing all if it on purpose.

He was not letting her forget him.

Trying to stop her nervousness, anxiety and the little bit of happiness on knowing his attention on her, Shanaya straighten herself on her chair to distract herself.

But it did not help.

Before she could stop, the file fell from her shaken hands and she cursed.

Everyone's eyes were on her.

Vihaan almost controlled his laugh when he saw her bending down to pick up the fallen file with her reddened cheeks.

But, he did not withdraw his eyes when Shanaya locked her hairs behind her ears, his eyes on every movement of her.

He wanted to be that hand, wanted his lips on her cheeks and ear, wanted to suck her earlobe and he let out a long breath.

It was getting impossible for him to hide his emotions, dėsɨrės, attraction and love if it was.

He wanted to do everything with her. He wanted to laugh, share his happiness and sadness with her, wanted to touch, kiss, lick and suck every inch of her skin.

He wanted her, for the lifetime.

For the first time, he realised he was liking the feeling of just observing minute details of a girl.

Like he was observing Shanaya and had observed Shanaya.

It was not he had never look at girl with such interest, but the interest in Shanaya was more.

He wanted to know everything about her, from small details like where did she buy the earrings, when did she buy it, what was the story behind it, did she bargain for the price, to greater details like who is in her heart.

And for the first time, he was not feeling suffocated by the thought of it.

Anticipation of being wanted.

God! she was so confused.

She wanted him all to herself and yet she did not.

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

"Fuck fuċk fuċk! "cursing at herself the moment she entered her office, Shanaya gulped down the water from the water glass kept on her desk and sat down on her chair with a thud.

She was at that point in her life where she was confused between stability and love.

She no longer needed the dangerous, uncontrollable love in her life, all she wanted was peace and stable life.

But deep down her heart was refusing it all. Her heart wanted Vihaan and his dangerous, possessive, dominating, adventurous, heartful love.

She wanted Vihaan with no changes in him, wanted the exact Vihaan, and yet she did not want him.

Without wasting any seconds, her heart kept beating in fear and nervousness as if she was being caught.

Or if she had something wrong.

Or was it guilt?

The guilt or fear was so much, she even consider to let it ring but when she could not, she let out a long breath and picking up the phone spoke" Hey Aunt".

She heard Mrs Shakti speaking "Shanaya... We need to talk" and her heart started beating more.

Her mind started thinking every possibility, each and every one ending with the question 'Did she too knows about Vihaan and her? '

With a great difficulty, she heard herself saying" Yes aunt " meanwhile, the office heard her fast heart beats, and saw her reddened cheeks.

The heat was from fear, not from arousal.

She heard her saying something and before she could complete" Aunt, I wont be able to.."she heard her saying " Shana.. Do not make me drag you here " and it shut her up.

Guess, dominance was in Rathores blood.

Placing the phone back on the table after two minutes, Shanaya kept looking at the screen of it as if it would help her sort out her fear.

Without wasting any more minutes, she picked up the phone and dialled a number.

"Hello, Saaransh" Passing a mild smile, she spoke when her call was answered.

"Hey, Shana, is everything okay?" She heard her worry voice and before he could ȧssume much, she spoke " Mrs Shakti invited me to the dinner at Rathore Mansion. "

She furrowed when she heard Saaransh"Ohh..me too. "
