Alakh has a lovely smile on her face, because of which her face looks like a fresh blooming rose. She is totally relaxed now, but still, she feels very much hurt because of Yuvraj's behavior. With her slow steps, she starts moving from there because it's too late to sit here; it's dark now. Seeing her leaving from there, the group of children who are playing start to wave their hands to bid her goodbye. She also shakes her hand in the air and smiles. After coming out from the park, she walks a few steps away from there, and suddenly a car stops in front of her with a jolt. Alakh literally jumps in her place and puts both hands on her heart. The moment the car stops in front of her, she feels as though her heartbeat stops. She grabs her bag tightly in her hold to hit this stalker, and she mumbles to herself.
"Finally you are here in front of me; come out.... I'll show you Alakh is not a cowardly cat…. Today I will beat you so much that all your children will be born bald."
She starts looking here and there while regularly murmuring to herself; she is eagerly waiting for this day when she comes to know about her stalker's real identity, but at the same point, she is very afraid of him also; he is totally a psycho for her. She is trying to see the people on the street, but no one is there at the moment. He never ever confronts her, but she feels like he is controlling her life very much; she always feels that she is being monitored by someone. It's really a very weird feeling. But she feels this every day. She is ready to knock out this bastard's head with her tiny strength, and suddenly the window glass starts rolling down. But as soon as the glass of the window rolled down, she got a shock; she cursed herself because of her amazing thoughts on her stalker, and she shouted at that person.
"It's you; you know I was going to have a heart attack because of this amazing stunt... Stupid… idiot."
He bursts into laughter, exits his car, and embraces her firmly as he speaks.
"I want to scare you… When you are afraid, I love to see your face at that time… my coward cat…". I purposefully chose to drive my dad's new car to enhance my ability to scare you."
She starts beating him continuously with her small hands; he is also jumping from here and there to save himself from her. She shouts at him.
"Aryan, you always do this to me... I hate you... You dumb head…. I hate you so much...."
"Are you sure, babes...?"
His eyes start changing into darkness. He doesn't like her way at all towards himself, but he knows very well he is only a good friend of hers in her view, and he doesn't want to lose his good friend also, Alakh always ignores him, she immediately says.
"Can you stop your flirting for a while? You always keep flirting with me like this; what will your invisible girlfriend think about us...? That we are lovers."
Aryan carefully examines her face before softly speaking.
"My girlfriend is an angel who adores the entire world; she is innocent and believes that everyone is similarly innocent and pure."
Alakh is very happy to hear her best friend praising her girlfriend; she feels very good that her friend loves someone very much. She says while hugging his arm.
"So sweet of her. When are you introducing her to us ... I want to meet her... How many years has it been? I have only heard about the madam and have never met her. And I am thrilled to know that you have passed the memories of Sakshi."
"She is very precious to me. It is not easy to meet her. You have to wait for the right time... Rather, I want to see her with you as soon as possible."
"Seriously… So when are we meeting her?"
Aryan is overjoyed to see her smiling like this; he shakes his head, looking into her eyes, and says,
"Very soon... Just wait some more time; she definitely wants to meet you."
"Ok ...... But what are you doing here today? You were in London, and since when have you been here? No one has told me that you have come from London."
"I arrived from London two days ago and found myself stalled due to some crucial work at the office. As you know, work is more important for Mr. Senior Mehra, so I was not able to meet you for 2 days."
"It's ok, I can understand your problem quite well, but you can call him Dad. What is this, Mr. Senior Mehra?"
"He behaves in the office like a bossy boss. He didn't regard me as his son in the office, so when it comes to work, he is referred to as Mr. Senior Mehra. But he is a very lovely dad at home."
Alakh laughs loudly at his explanation, but she knows very well he is right in his place, as her father is also like his father; after all, they both are excellent friends indeed. Aryan's eyes remain fixed on Shagun's face, and he responds to her instantly.
"You don't have to understand my problem at all because I know very well I am wrong here. I'm really sorry for that, but as soon as Atul called me, I could not stop myself when I came to know about what happened in the college."
Aryan wants to know more from her again, but her smile starts vanishing from her beautiful face. She reminisces about the college scene, causing her eyes to moisten once more. However, she hesitates to reveal anything to him, understanding that he is a close friend. He finds it unacceptable for anyone to disturb Alakh in any manner. Seeing tears in her eyes, he yells loudly.
"Till now the engagement has not taken place; not even rings are exchanged, and then there is no engagement happening, only promises, and promises are made to break. We have only decided on the engagement."
She can easily recognize the anger in his voice, but like always, she ignores it, fakes a smile, and says something to divert his attention from this matter.
"Ok, tell me, when are you coming home? We will arrange a small party at my house."
"He is your friend also; how do you talk about him like this now?"
"He was never my friend; he is just a competitor in everything... just a competitor... and I don't like him."
Alakh does not understand anything about him, but she doesn't want you to understand anything at this time, so she ignores his point of view completely. Aryan has a smirk on his face, and he wraps his hand around her shoulder and makes her sit in his car, then he moves towards the driver's seat. But he stops for a while and looks towards Yuvraj's car. Aryan is well aware of this, having conversed with Alakh while Yuvraj was closely observing them. Aryan smiled towards him, then gave him a flying kiss and immediately sat in the driving seat.
"So, do you prefer ice cream or a cold coffee with ice cream, which has always been your favorite combination?"
Alakh smiles slightly and looks at him and says,
"You always remember all my favorite things very well."
Aryan watches Yuvraj through the rearview mirror and smiles.
"Of course, if I do not take care of your favorite things, then who else? Well, as I know very well, you love this pink color, and you look very pretty in it…. You wear more and more pink clothes; you look very beautiful in them...."
Alakh is overturned by a jerk and widens her eyes; she then looks at him with suspicious eyes.
"You always know everything about me, don't you?"
Aryan roars up the engine of his car and again looks through the rearview mirror toward Yuvraj's angry face and says,
"Of course, dear, anything related to you is very noticeable for me. You are my best friend, so why don't I know anything about you? There will be a question on our friendship, so don't ask silly questions, sweetie…."
He smiles after looking at Yuvraj's furious face; he is enjoying it very much and moves forward from there. Alakh continues to stare at him in surprise, while Aryan glances at her and speaks.
"Oh hello, close your mouth; otherwise, flies will enter your mouth, and why are you looking at me strangely?"
She sits on her seat in a very alert mode; no one can understand the struggle going on between her mind and her heart.
~heart
• mind
~Maybe Aryan is the one who is stalking me regularly.~
• How is this possible? Stupid, he has not even lived here for 4 years. How can he stalk you like an idiot?
~Yup, you are right, but he knows everything about me.~
• So what? There are lots of people who know these things about you, and most importantly, he is your best friend. Alakh, you know you need a psychiatrist.
~If this situation persists, I absolutely require the services of a psychiatrist.
Alakh, why don't you ask him properly if he is your stalker?~
• Like, he would tell you comfortably that he is following you like a psycho.
~Just ask him, dammit.~
• No, he is your best friend. What will he think about you? Moreover, he loves someone else...
~Just ask him.~
"Shut up...." She shouts.
With this, the car stops on the edge of the road with a great jolt. Aryan moves a little bit toward her and looks at her properly while grabbing her face in his hand. While checking her temperature, he immediately asks her.
"Are you okay… "
Alakh, looking around and trying to handle this weird situation created by her inner soul, said she had not seen him and said,
"Yup ...... Everything is absolutely alright. I am very tired. I don't want any ice cream or anything to take me straight home. I don't feel good right now; I want to rest."
"Shall we go to a doctor?"
"It's not that bad; I just want to relax; that's it."
"Ok .... as you want."
He is continuously looking in the rearview mirror, and he knows very well that Yuvraj is regularly following them by chasing his car. He looked towards Alakh, who was busy in the street view. He takes his hand out of the window and shows his middle finger to Yuvraj. Seeing him doing this, Yuvraj immediately gets out of his car and moves towards them, but Aryan smiles wickedly at him and moves forward, intentionally leaving lots of smoke on his face. Yuvraj stands there in his anger and watches them both go; it is impossible to guess his anger right now. His eyes are not moving away from his car even for a second until Aryan's car disappears from his sight.
.

He does not even blink his eyes for a second; regularly, video slides are running in front of him. He clenches his fist tightly; on his palm he wraps a dupatta of hers; his eyes are totally stuck on the screen, or we can say on her face. He can easily look at the tears or moisture in her eyes in every picture of her; he stands up from his place and stands close to her picture on the wall. His hand is on her eyes; it looks like he wants to wipe her tears out of that photo too.
"I don't want a single tear in your beautiful eyes, but it is totally my mistake that they are in your eyes; just wait for some time, and I will correct everything for us… One day, I will bestow upon you an abundance of happiness, pure and unadulterated; happiness is your inherent nature. Only a smile suits your lips…. I know I don't deserve you, but I only insist on not letting you be anyone else."
"You are mine."
"I have heard every call of your heart... I have soothed every pain in your heart. What level of pain conceals your smile? I have lived every moment of your pain…."
He unwraps the dupatta from his palm, then lies down on his bed and spreads that dupatta on his face to cover it.
"No one in the world can come between us, and I promise you, angel, I will make everything correct in our life."
"I love you, my angel…"
.
.
It's getting dark still; lots of vehicles are running around with lots of noise. Yuvraj has been standing outside the Chauhan mansion for quite a while and is constantly being seen at the entrance of the mansion. He rubs his index finger on his temples and then rests his head on the headrest of the car.
• I am not bad, Alakh; it's just that I don't want to share mine with others…. Whenever I do not see you in front of me, I do not like anything. This is the first time in 6 months that she has not listened to me in any way…. I was so frustrated by her lack of attention at that moment that I didn't know what to do. I don't know how many years I have had a habit of watching her silently all the time. During my time in college, she was not in my immediate presence. It's like the world is spinning in front of me. I was bathed in sweat when I didn't find her. I have found you with so much difficulty I can't lose you like this. This is the only thought that came to my mind at that time. I called you immediately, but she said she wanted to be alone…. She doesn't want to be with me, and here I want to spend every single moment with her. Why doesn't she understand my feelings?… I love her.
When I came to know that she was sitting in a park near our college as if my heart were beating again, I knew very well that my anger was my weakest point, but she was also my weakness. But she is with her friend Aryan... Aryan… Aryan… I don't like you, Aryan, because I know you like her, but she just considered you as her friend. Although I know what you want, I must keep quiet because she is already hurt by me. I was very angry to see her with Aryan, but... But at this time I need to calm down for a while. I should change myself for you. I promise you, Sweetheart… I will change myself for you….
He immediately takes out his phone from his pocket and looks at her number. He is about to press the call button, but he stops and again rubs his temple with his two fingers.
"I want to see you… I think your temper must have calmed down now so we can sit back and talk to each other very calmly."
Yuvraj smiles and immediately gets out of his car and enters Chauhan Mansion. He has lots of chocolate in his hand. He knows very well that whenever Alakh is upset about anything, she constantly eats chocolate to calm herself. Yuvraj sees here and there, some servants and maids are busy with their work. One maid's little daughter turns her attention to him. She comes smilingly in front of him with a glass of water.
"Namaste bhaiya …. "
"Namaste… (took the glass of water and pulled her cheek) What are you doing here? Why don't you study right now?"
"Bhaiya, actually Maa had more work today, so I came to help out with her chores."
Yuvraj smiles, places his hand on her head, and speaks.
"Your mother has a habit of doing all the work, but you just have to study now. This is not your work; your only work is to study…"
"Ok bhaiya, you are just like Vikram bhaiya and Alakh didi; both of them also always ask me to study and say that all the work will be done, will keep more servants, but you only have to study."
She tells all these things, imitating Vikram, and starts saying. He laughs at her acting and tries to explain to her.
"And they are absolutely right; you only have to study… Where are all the people?"
He looks around, and he does not see any member of the house.
"Thank you for this amazing radio broadcast … You go and do your study. I will go to your sister's (Alakh) room."
Yuvraj walks toward the room of Alakh while smiling. He knocks on the door lightly but doesn't get any response from inside, so he gently pushes the door to open, and coincidentally, the room is not locked, so it's open immediately with his slight push. Yuvraj glances at Alakh, who is slumbering in a ball, her legs tucked into her chest. He immediately grabs the remote for the AC, increases the temperature, and covers her with a duvet. Alakh holds her duvet well in her sleep and wraps it around herself and sleeps again by hugging her pillow like her teddy bear. Yuvraj laughs at her action; he puts the chocolate box on a nearby table and sits on the floor in Indian style. He put his elbows on his knees, and his fists were on both of his cheeks. He is smiling upon seeing her asleep.
You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life, and you don't know how much I love you. You mentioned that I often humiliate you in front of others and cause you pain; if my love causes you embarrassment, then it's beyond my control. I sincerely apologize for any offense I may have caused, but what actions do I take when someone looks at you? I don't like it at all. I'm frustrated when everyone turns around and looks at you with lustful eyes because I know you're beautiful. I know very well you have a life of your own, but I cannot do anything until you are mine. I will keep controlling you like this; you are my happiness, and I want to be your happiness. I feel hurt when you smile with someone else; you're the only one who can't look or smile at anyone else. Because I'm crazy about you, I want to be the only one in front of you when you look up and smile for me. I don't know anything except that you are mine; everything belongs to me. I have waited for you for years, and now I do not want to wait anymore. I will make you mine very soon. There is only one thing in your life, and that is YOU ARE MINE.
He stands up from his place; he looks here and there, then his sight catches her wet towel on her study chair. He grabs that towel and sniffs her body's scent from it. He smiles and looks at her with so much care; he fixes her duvet properly and leans slightly towards Alakh's face so that he can kiss her, but he hears someone's footsteps, so he immediately walks out of the room. He nearly collides with Vikram as he exits Alakh's room. Both of them smile at each other and hug.
"Where is Bacha…?"
"She is sleeping; today was a very tiring day; maybe she is very tired, so she fell asleep."
"It's ok, come... I want to talk to you…."
"Is anything important…?"
"Yup... about Alakh... is everything ok between you two?"
"We are very happy with each other."
Vikram smiles and looks at the sleeping figure in the room with love, then again turns towards him while closing the door because he doesn't want Alakh's sleep to be disturbed in any way.
"While I understand your love for her, sometimes it can be unbearable for others. Please try to understand this."
Yuvraj turns his face up, and his eyes turn dark because he doesn't like Vikram's words at all, and he feels that Alakh complained about him to her brother. He narrowed his eyes and immediately asked him in a stern tone.
"What do you mean by this…?"
Vikram loves his sister very much, and he does not want her to be in trouble for any reason. He fully understood Yuvraj's love for his sister, which is why he readily agreed to marry her. He always wanted his sister to find someone who would love her even more than him. But Yuvraj's possessiveness bothers her so much that he wants to talk to him, he says straightforwardly.
"She is fragile like a doll. She needs care and love, not over-possessiveness. "
Yuvraj does not want anyone to come between him and Alakh, even if he is Alakh's brother. He bluntly says.
Vikram looked at him very strangely because he didn't expect anything like this from Yuvraj. He replied to him in an upset tone.
"She is my sister, and I have the right…"
"No one has any right to her. I am the only one who has the right to her. She is mine, and very soon she will be my wife… So please, Vikram, try to understand this. I don't want anyone to interfere in my personal life… not even you. She has to understand my love for her; she has to change herself according to my liking."
"Excuse me… "
Vikram roars loudly, but with this, Yuvraj takes a leave from there without turning back to him. Vikram is still taken aback and stands there silently; he opens the door and looks inside towards Alakh with care. He came inside the room and carefully patted her head without disturbing her.
"He is not the right person for you. I will take care of everything for you, bacha."
He kisses her on her forehead, and without any noise, he leaves from there. He took out his mobile from his pants pocket and dialed his father's number, but that was switched off. He felt so annoyed, so leave immediately.
