Siya's pov :
Even the mention of Arjun's name in my thoughts dried my throat making me thirsty. He was hovering over me and we were so close to witness the battle of our eye lashes.
" What are you doing? " I asked him out of breath.
"Saving you from this heavy chiffonier, I don't want it to crush you Siya. " he told me without blinking while drinking my features. The weired part is I am not disgusted with his looks.
Arrgg! God please ask him to stop calling me by my name.. I feel.. I mean.. It's giving me some uncouth feelings.
" Ge.. Get up I am fine now.." I managed to bring out my words.
"You are but I'm not, I just can't get up with this heavy weight on my back. " he told me the matter of fact.
Oh my my, he is balancing the whole weight of the chiffonier in his back. I gulped at his brawn.
He leaned a little to the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent making me lurch.
"What perfume you use? " he questioned looking into my eyes.
"Po... Poison! " I told him controlling my breath.
He sighed and mumbled "You are definitely my poison Siya! " but it was audible enough for me.
"Wh...what? " I asked him confused.
"Nothing !" He told and avered his gaze.
After few seconds people came inside searching us and got panicked to see us under the heavy wooden material.
They tried to move the chiffonier but I noticed Arjun lifting it with his one hand while he stood up.
By mouth hung ajar, was he playing all the time unable to lift the bureau. But why? I stood up abruptly.
"Thank you! " I mumbled a thanks to him without meeting his eyes and escorted myself out of the Orphanage after bidding my bye to the lovely kids.
"Where are you going? " I heard his voice from back and startled while trying to catch cab.
"Office! " I told not meeting his scrutinizing eyes again. I didn't know why couldn't I face him.. I feel nervous.
"I'll drop you! " he offered me.
" No...thank you, I'll manage." I can't spend some alone time with him again.
" I insist! " he added.
" I said I don't have problem taking a cab Mr. Arjun. Why can't you understand. " this guy is annoying at times.. Sorry most of the times...
" Don't raise your voice at me Siya! I don't like people using this tone to me." He ordered me suddenly with a roar and I flinched with his tone.
Sensing my startling he told " See. I didn't mean to shout at you but-" I didn't let him complete and moved him a little by his shoulder when something past him caught my attention.
"Siya! " he called me. "Shh! " but I asked him to maintain silent.
There were few men across the alley must be 5 in number, actually not men but goons. They surrounded a man who looked pathetic with many wounds, beaten black and blue. I took my mobile out and started to record video after calling the police.
I got terrified when he took a big sharp knife, started to sweat and my hands wanted to hold something for support if not I'll faint. God please save that man.
When he was about to lodge the knief into that man a strong hand caught hold his wrist which carried the knief.
Arjun!
"Sir,... Arjun Sir... You came... Thank God! please save me sir... They wanted to know our tender amount. I refused to tell them, so they are trying to kill me. " he told everything crying for his life.
So...he is Arjun's employee.
Arjun gave a cold glare to the men and that was enough for making my legs shutter. I am panic stricken with his look.
In a swift moment the knief along with the men who held that flown in open air and fell on a car parked nearby breaking the glasses of the window.
He twisted the hand of the other men and kicked one another in the same time making them cry in agony.
I gulped looking at the man in front of me. What are you Arjun?
May be he works part time as a stunt artist in cinema told my brain. Shut up my stupid brain!
He lunged the man on his right, and kicked the other one in his guts. All this happened in an account of five minutes and I stayed still.
We heard the siren of the police vehicle and he told the inspector to admit the victim in the hospital and hand overed the goons to him.
I was in shock and looking at him in awe, he came to my direction and dragged me to his car holding my hand. He opened the car door and made me sit inside, my eyes failed to blink and I kept noticing his each and every move.
He sat on the driver seat and started to drive, his knuckles became white with his tight grip on the steering indicating his anger. I was brought back to my real self when his fingers snapped in front of me.
"Huh!? " I am still in daze.
"I told you this place is not safe, see what happened, Here after I don't want you to come here alone. Even though if you wanna come here then call me, I'll accompany you. Got it ?" he told me like advising a small kid to which I nodded.
He plucked my mobile and dialled a number, I heard a ringtone form his pocket, so it's his number.
"Where should I drop you? " he asked me.
"Office! " I told him.
"I can't hear you! " he told me, Even I can't hear me because the next moment darkness engulfed me.
I woke up when someone splashed water on my face I felt myself in the safest place ever. I could hear an alerted heartbeat and I saw a pair of brown orbs filled with fear and concern.
I was crushed to Arjun between his arms and he is Shooking me.
" Siya.... Siya... Are you OK? Drink this. " he made me drink water and finally I sat straight.
" I didn't mean to scare you, I was just saving that man's life. We can't let him die right, so I have to fight. " he reasoned.
"I am not scared. " I lied to him actually I am damn scared.
" Then why did you fainted?" He asked me.
" I didn't have breakfast today, so fainted because of my low pressure I guess. " it's true I have low blood pressure.
"What? You have low pressure? " he asked panicked.
But why is he panicking?
" Yeah, I inherited it from my dad. " I told fidgeting with my fingers.
" You know, you have low pressure even though you took the risk of skipping your breakfast. How can you be so careless Siya? " he scolded me.
In a fraction of second, I saw my dad in him, Arjun exactly stole my dad's words with dripping consern. For an unknown reason my eyes welled up with salt liquid which called tears.
He stopped in front of a fresh juice shop and got me pome juice.
That's my favourite but how dose he know? I took the juice he handed me after little hesitation.
"Where are you going? " I asked him.
" To your house you need rest. " he told me curtly.
"No no.., please stop the car, I have to go to my office. " told me.
He gave me a glare " Hey, I have to go and trust me I'll have food in my office. " I didn't know why I gave him explanation.
"OK then I can't drop you here, don't argue and tell me where you work? " told him.
"I work in a newspaper, didn't I tell you the other day that I am a reporter in The News Orb. " I told him and then he drove silently.
He stopped the car in front of my office and then I got down.
" Arjun Thanks! Huh.. For everything! " he gave me a million dollar smile and I found me melting.
No Siya... Don't Slip.
" Take care and don't skip your meals here after." he told and drove off without letting me reply.
He is born arrogant! He didn't even let me replay.
I sighed and entered my office and decided to relax in my cubicle for a while, when I got a call from my boss..
Arrgg..!
"Yes Sir..., Coming! " I answered the call.
I went inside and told him everything that happened today except Arjun, I just kept things professional.
He came close to me and inhaled my scent while asking "So did you enjoyed the day with children Siya? "
"Ye... Yes Sir! " I told him feeling uncomfortable while reeling in my place .
"What perfume you use Siya? " same question but I didn't get the same feeling instead I felt nauseous... His closeness makes me feel icky.
I moved abruptly and left the cabin not bothering to bid him bye and went home immediately.
Ramakrishna..! I am gonna kill you. I am not working under this moron anymore. He is so creepy, I can feel that.
I came home and took a hot relaxing shower. After having lunch I watched the movie 2 STATES to divert my mind but even my Arjun Kapoor can't divert my mood from Arjun... I mean Mr hunk.
This Khaleja is dominating the Kapoor in my mind. I didn't know when I drifted off to sleep.
I got up and had dinner with my dad. I told him everything except about Arjun. I didn't know why but I don't want my dad to know about him, I just told him I fainted.
" You know that you have low pressure even though you took risk of skipping your breakfast. How can you be so careless Siya? " told my dad. The exact same word.
I laughed like a madwomen and came back to my room to feel the soft mattress under me. Minutes passed in daze but I kept thinking about him.
He cared about me and didn't want me to get into trouble. Of course his ways are rude but not his heart.
I took my mobile and saw the video of him, I shot today. With his every move and action I found my heart flutter and an unknown feeling crept in me.
I have to sort this out, may be I have to make him my friend, so that if I get used to him.., I'll will not get these kind of feelings again.
His eyes, his look, his demeanor, his care everything took a pole in me. He is not bad but arrogant. He didn't even asked me a sorry, but that doesn't make him bad, so I came to a conclusion to befriend him.
A smile played on my lips and I can't ignore my urge to watch the video again.
His moves... They are fast like thunder. His anger that screamed danger and I felt my heart beat accelerate but it's weird that I can't feel uncomfortable with him just the way I felt with my boss Ajay.
Sort this out Siya... As soon as possible.
I checked my caller ID and saved his number as Mr. Hunk and went to Watsup, he was online and I kept looking at his display picture.
He looked hot!
Just when I got a message from him " Siya, I don't know to drag things, I wanna be your friend. Can we be friends? "
Like seriously he asked out of blue.
Arjun : You there?
Ohoo... Wait man give me some time to reply but what will I reply?
Me : It's not that you can't drag things.. It's just that you don't know how to talk to a girl. Accept it.
Arjun : Accepted! After all I don't have any experience.
What? I am the first girl in his life. I didn't know what the hell happened to me, I rolled on my bed like a idiot with a idiotic smile. But how can I trust him?
Me : Liar !
Arjun : I just speak my mind! And tell me one good reason to lie.
He was right why should he lie? So I'm the only girl in his life. No no... first girl in his life may be someone else can come in future and that thought made my smile fade.
Me : Why should I befriend you ?
I got reply the next second.
Arjun : Because I want to be your friend.
That was simple, I wonder how can he be so straight and curt in everything.. He's right, he speak his mind and that's something I like about him. When I didn't reply I got his another message.
Arjun : Siya, I shouldn't have yelled at you the other day. I didn't mean that it was out of frustration. I am Sorry.
I felt cloud nine, did he just apologized me? Oh my God. My happiness has no bound. At last he apologized me but why I'm feeling happy?
I decided to keep these questions at stake and replied him.
Me : I don't like my friends apologizing me, it's high time Arjun sleep. Good night.
Arjun : I'll take that as a Yes! Good night.
I hugged my pillow tightly and tried to sleep. Hell ! all I could think about was Mr. Hunk.
