Bangalore...
Ananya was working on her desk, she was supposed to review the case for her boss Mr. Joshi, and if he wins this one, he promised that he will assign Ananya a case to deal with, which can mark the beginning of her career as a independent lawyer...
She was reading the facts of the case carefully, when she heard a beeping sound of her phone which was placed inside the drawer, she ignored the beep and continued her work
The phone continued to beep and irritated she takes out the phone,and sees 57 messages on her whatsapp, from an unknown number....
Frowning she opens the messages and gasps seeing some obscene images of women and inappropriate messages which made her throw the phone on table in disgust...
'Who the hell is this person...!' She exclaimed angrily
She immediately deleted those messages and blocked the number, not bothering to reply...
'How sick people live in this world...' she huffed and continued her work
She receives a new text from another number, and gets irritated
Didn't like the messages I sent you baby..?
Don't worry you will like these....
Ananya's blood boiled at this, and she immediately calls the person, who doesn't pick the call, instead drops 30 more messages on her whatsapp...
Ananya opens the messages and now her hand and feet turns cold, she looked at the message scared and wipes the sweat forming on forehead
It were her random pictures, like while waiting for the bus, catching the bus, getting out of her building, catching an auto, or holding Amayraa in a shopping mall and many others, someone was stalking her all these times and she wasn't aware...
She gulped and drank some water, Though Ananya was a strong girl, but the feeling of being watched scares any person for a while..
She called the number again, and this time too, no one picked up, sighing in frustration she messages the person
Who are you and what do you want...??
There was an instant reply..
Who am I doesn't matter, and what I want..? You will know soon...
Ananya frowned at the reply and then typed
Stop following me and sending me obscene pictures...
Stranger : Oh sorry for those images, but I was imagining how sexy you will look in such clothes ;)
Ananya : How Dare You...!!!
Stranger : I can totally imagine how hot you look, with that angered expression right now...
Ananya : You don't know who you are messing with... I can get you arrested today itself for harassing a woman...
Stranger : Don't threaten me with your lawyer tactics, it won't work my dear, trust me you won't be able to track me...
Ananya : I am blocking you, dare you message me again, you will face the consequences..
Stranger : Fine, I will text you with some other number, you are not getting away from me this soon...
Ananya : You know I am married right ? If my husband comes to know about this, he will tear you apart
She frowned while typing this because she didn't want to be dependent even on Aayan's name for anything...
Stranger : Please don't remind me that he already has you before me, it breaks my heart.. But don't worry, you will be mine soon...
'Why am I even entertaining this psycho... ' she thought
Ananya : Whatever weirdo, don't text again, I won't warn next time...
She replied and blocked the number and put her phone in the drawer...
After sometime, Deepika walks inside her cabin and Ananya smiles
'Hey bride to be... Wassup...?' Ananya teased her and Deepika smiled weakly
'I am good, just enjoying my last week here, and from monday, back to Delhi... ' she sighed, sitting on the chair opposite to her
'You seem to be tensed Deeps... Is everything okay...?' Ananya asked concerned
'Yeah I am fine... ' Deepika smiled
'Deepika soon to be Thapar, you know you can't lie to me right..?' Ananya gave her a suspicious look
'Nothing is wrong Ananya... ' Deepika lied
'Please Deeps, now I am 100% convinced that you are not fine, Tell me na... ' Ananya coaxed
Deepika sighed and then look at Ananya teary eyed
'I think Ved doesn't love me anymore... ' She says her voice cracking
Ananya was shocked, because this certainly cannot happen,Ved only loved her and everyone knows this
'What are you saying Deeps...? It's impossible...' Ananya exclaimed
'I think he lost interest in me... ' Deepika says wiping her tear
'What nonsense, why would you think that...?' Ananya asked holding Deepika's hands
'He stopped responding to my calls and texting me since I came here, it's been a week ! And we haven't spoken with each other for more than a hour, something is wrong Ananya I am saying, Ved is changed... ' Deepika cried
'You are being paranoid Deeps, Bhai must be busy, Maa also told me, he has a lot of pending work in the office, which he must complete before the wedding... So maybe that's why he isn't responding... ' Ananya said
'Atleast he should find sometime for his fiance.. ' Deepika said sadly
'I think this pending work burden came to him, because he was spending a lot of time with his Fiance... ' Ananya narrowed her eyes
Deepika looked away in embarrassment
'Don't become his distraction Deeps, or else one day he will leave you, I know my brother, if something distracts him too much, he abandons that thing... ' Ananya said and Deepika looked at her scared
'You mean Ved will leave me one day...?' She asked
'If you continue to pester him and fight with him for attention, he will eventually leave you... Love should give you happiness, not constrict you...' Ananya said calmly
'What..! I don't fight... ' Deepika began, but Ananya gave her a look and she sighed
'Yeah okay, but I can't live without speaking to him for one day... I wonder how you survived without Aayan being with you for a month after the wedding... ' Deepika exclaimed and Ananya fisted her hands under the desk
'See, even after wedding don't fight with him for not giving time, try to be a understanding wife Deeps, how will you feel if I continuously call you and complain that you don't like me anymore, when you are genuinely very busy and can't call me...?' Ananya asked and Deeps looked down in shame
Ananya smiled, and made her look up
'My brother is very lucky that he has you Deeps, but excess of love can also get toxic naa... I am not saying don't love him, but just give him space... ' She said and Deepika nodded
'Aayan is very lucky you know, he has the best wife ever... ' Deepika smiled and Ananya's smile slowly faded
I don't think he will realise that ever... She sighed internally
'But you have to agree with me, that your brother is sadu... ' Deeps teased and Ananya laughed
'No denial in that... ' Ananya laughed
'I remember how enthusiastic Aayan was during your wedding, I can't see Ved being this happy... ' Deepika said
Of course he was...
After all he was getting what he wanted...
'Some people can't express Deeps, doesn't mean they are not happy, Ved bhai is very happy, trust me... ' Ananya smiled
'Wow, Marriage changed you Ananya... ' Deepika said
Circumstances changed me, my husband changed me...
'You will see these changes in yourself too... Don't worry... ' Ananya said and Deepika smiled
'Catch you later at the lunch then...?' Deepika said and Ananya nodded
Does this marriage have any future...? Or I am unnecessarily stretching things, secretly hoping everything will be okay one day...! Ananya sighed and wiped her tears...
5 hours later...
Aayan's residence...
Ananya unlocked the door with her fingerprint, and the door opened
Welcome Home Mrs. Aayan Varma,
Temperature - 24°C
Humidity - 77%
Number of people in the house - 4
'Can't you address me as Ananya, why you have to call me Mrs. Aayan Varma...! Change my name please..' Ananya said irritated, hoping that house assistant listens to her instructions
'Nopes...!' Aayan answers her instead and she huffed
'Finally you are back, I missed you Baby... ' Aayan said sweetly, he was seated on the dining table and Ananya looked at him suspiciously
'Don't you Baby... ' she was about to snap at him, but then spotted Mrs. Kumar working in the kitchen counter, smiling at them and then looked at Aayan who smirked at her and she frowned
'Hey Baby... I missed you too... ' She said sweetly, at least her tone was sweet but she was glaring at him and Aayan chuckled
'Good evening Pappy....' Ananya greeted
'Good evening Ananya... I'll get your tea... ' Mrs. Kumar smiled
'Pappy even I want tea, I'll have it with my Wifey... ' Aayan said teasing Ananya and she rolled her eyes
'Awww... You guys are so sweet... ' Mrs. Kumar said and resumed her work
'Stop overacting okay, or else she will figure out our drama one day.... ' Ananya whispered to Aayan, and takes a seat opposite to him
'I am not pretending... You are... ' Aayan said sweetly and she glared at him
'You look so cute, when angry... ' Aayan teased her and she remembered the creep
I can totally imagine you looking so hot with that angered expression
'Shut up.. ' She scolds him and takes her phone out
'Aww I love you too....' he teased her further and she got angry at this
Don't hit your husband...
Don't hit your husband...
'Stop it okay... ' she says and unlocks her phone
She sees a text from a new number and frowns
When she opened her message, she was scared once again, because it had a latest picture getting inside her building...
You are not getting rid of me so soon sweetheart... The message read
This means he followed her till her residence...
Who is this creep...!
She took a deep breath and Aayan noticed her sudden change of behavior and looked at her phone trying to figure out what is happening...
She kept her phone aside and massaged her temples, Aayan seem to look at her phone intently, not saying anything...
After sometime Aayan started to do something on his laptop, and Mrs. Kumar served them their drinks
'Do you have your phone connected to the Wi-Fi...?' Aayan asked Ananya, not looking up from his laptop screen
'Yeah... Why...?' Ananya asked
'Nothing, just asking... ' he said and continued his work and Ananya didn't bother to ask as her mind was already preoccupied...
'You are a techie aren't you...?' Ananya asked
'What's a techie...?' Aayan asked looking up from his laptop, adjusting his specs
'Engineer... ' Ananya said bored
'Wow, you don't know what your husband is...?' Aayan asked amazed
'Just answer the question...' Ananya said irritated and Aayan chuckled
'Yes I am an engineer... ' He said
'What kind of engineer...? Can you repair the refrigerator ? It's not working properly... ' Ananya said and Aayan glared at her
'That's a mechanic's job, not an engineers job... Anyways I am a computer engineer...' Aayan said proudly
'So you repair computers then...?' Ananya asked to irritate him further
'I don't repair anything...! I design... You know what, it's beyond your understanding... Leave it... ' he huffed and continued his work
'If you won't tell me, how will I know...' Ananya said innocently
Aayan sighed at this
'I make websites, design Applications, like your whatsapp, also do a bit of hacking and design softwares, test and run them... ' he explained
'Oooooo... Okay... ' Ananya said amazed and took a sip of her tea and Aayan continued his work
'Is there an app by which you can come to know who is sending you messages...?' Ananya asked casually
'Truecaller... Duh... ' Aayan said without looking up from the screen
She huffed, 'What if truecaller doesn't work...?' she asked further
'Who is sending you the messages...?' Aayan asked finally looking up from the screen
Ananya got scared at this, and of course she was not going to tell him about the stalker
'Not me... ' Ananya said casually
'Then why are you asking...?' Aayan raised his brows
'General Knowledge...' She replied
'Really.... ' Aayan asked staring at her intently
'Actually, One of my friend in the office... ' Ananya began, not looking at him and he chuckled internally
'Of course... ' he commented
'She is receiving these very stupid messages from some unknown person, and when she blocks the person, he texts from some other number... She isn't able to trace the person on true caller, so what she should do...?' Ananya asked and Aayan understood something was wrong
'Tell her to give the details to me, I'll trace the person and if this continues, she must take legal action...' Aayan said, staring at her intently
'Why will she give you the details...! She can deal with him alone, yeah I will suggest her the legal action measure... ' Ananya said not looking at him directly
'Okay... I was just trying to help... ' Aayan said and concentrated on his work
After sometime, Mrs. Kumar walks towards Ananya
'Ananya, what should I make for dinner...?' She asked
'Don't cook anything for me Pappy, I am meeting my friends in an hour, will have dinner with them... ' Ananya informed and Aayan looked up from his laptop
'Oo wow girls night out... ' Mrs. Kumar said
'Well, there will be some male colleagues as well, but yeah mostly it's girls only... ' Ananya said and Aayan huffed internally
'Okay then, will make something for Baba and Amayraa then... ' Mrs. Kumar said
'I am not hungry Pappy, don't make anything for me... ' Aayan said and Mrs. Kumar and Ananya frowned
'See he is upset that you are leaving him alone... ' Mrs. Kumar teased
'I'll be back by 10, Baby....' Ananya said sweetly and Aayan huffed
Ananya and Aayan's room
Half n hour later...
Aayan walked inside the room, holding his laptop, and sees Ananya standing in front of the mirror, checking her dress..
She was wearing a red, knee length dress, with 3/4th sleeves, her hair open and minimal makeup, she looked very beautiful in that attire...
Aayan took a sharp breath and then saw that the neck of the dress was slightly deep, but it was not revealing anything, this made Aayan possessive for reasons unknown to him
'Isn't this dress too revealing...?' He commented
'What...' Ananya exclaimed and checked the dress again
'Don't be stupid, its very decent... ' Ananya said and he huffed
'Someone is trying to attract men, even though they are married... ' Aayan smirked
'Is my name Aayan Varma...?' Ananya asked and Aayan looked at her confused
'No.. ' He said
'So, I don't go around sleeping with random people I meet, because I have some dignity....' Ananya taunts him and he glares at her
'Shouldn't your male friends know that you are married...?' Aayan said
'Shouldn't you mind your own business... ' Ananya replied and started adjusting her hair
Aayan kept his laptop on the bed and in a swift motion, walked towards her, and held her by the waist, pulling her closer..
'What are you doing...?' Ananya asked scared
'Minding my business... ' He said huskily and trapped her between his arms and the cupboard, she could feel his hot breath on her neck
'Aayan... What are you... ' She began but words ceased to leave her mouth as his lips touched her skin and she shivered
'You look so good in red, it's hard for me to... ' he said but stopped, and continued to kiss and bite her neck gently, she bit her lower lip to contain the pleasure
'Aayan... ' she breathed, clutching his shoulders
Aayan groaned and pulled her closer, by waist and she had goosebumps all over her body
Aayan left her after sometime, and both were breathing heavily, and stared at each others eyes for a brief period of time
Ananya's face was flushed, Aayan smiled at this and pecked her lips, making her go more crimson
'You... You can't... ' Ananya stammered, because it took her mind sometime to register what happened 5 minutes back
Aayan looked at her neck and smirked..
'Have fun... ' He smiled and walked out of the room
Ananya adjusted her dress, and hair, and took a deep breath to calm her racing heart down...
What's wrong with you Ananya, you should've pushed him away...
I can't let him do that to me, whenever he wants...
She walked out of her room, taking her bag and saw Deepika waiting for her in the hall, talking to Aayan...
'Ready...?' Deepika asked getting up
'Yeah... Let's go...' Ananya said, Deepika looked at her dress and then her eyes land on her neck and she smirked
'What....?' Ananya asked confused
'Someone marked his territory... ' Deepika teased Aayan who smiled, more like blushed
'What are you talking about... ' Ananya said and gasped looking at the red mark on her neck, in the mirror and felt embarrassed
She looked at Aayan and he winked at her, and then quickly walked out of the house unable to contain the heat rising up her cheeks, ignoring Deepika's teasing...
What are you doing to me Aayan...?
What do you want from me...!
