I felt my breathe getting shorter. We both were restless, as if something just drained our energy.
I was just feeling like running and hiding into my cocoon to find my solace. I was about to leave the balcony when he started,” Maya…hmmm… uhmm… I..”.
Oh my god, he was stammering like the previous one I heard. I turned immediately and I can see a weird expression in his face. It was difficult for me to identify. I was about to say something so I started but ended up with,” Ok…uhmm. its …hmmm”. He said,” let’s get back and I will drop you home, thankyou…”.
I simply nodded. He took me outside in the hall. The scenario was still the same, the shimmer and glitter. He said, ” We can’t leave now, you have to meet my parents, atleast then they won’t run behind you for marrying me….”. He chuckled and tried to reduce the awkwardness.
He took me, towards his parents. I was a little nervous. When I finally closed the gap and reached his parents, he said,” Just be who you are…the way you hate me they will understand”. Wait! What was this? I retorted, ” I don’t hate you!!! “. He chuckled and ignored me.
I saw a lady in her early fifties and a man having similar physique like Jacob dressed in navy blue tuxedo. He inherits his father’s eyes and his mother’s smile. I said hello and usual pleasantries with them.
His mom said,” You got a beautiful lady, Jay…take care of her “. His father completed his mother’s sentence,” She suits you my boy…stay together…don’t be a spoiler…here okay…, we would like to leave now. Because your mom has some important work left.” He turned and winked towards his mom and she punched his arm lightly. Wait, were they really flirting…. I smiled and they excused with goodbyes.
I turned towards him and said,” Your parents are madly in love…and( I chuckled and continued) This is how you are a born player…no issues.. it’s in your gene”. He smirked and said,” I guess that is Mr. Malik, you know they are my new business partners in one of the hotel business. So I must greet him then we can escape…”.
I didn’t noticed that he said Mr. Malik. I turned and moved ahead closing the distance. To my surprise, he was my father and the one beside him was my Mother!!! They organized this function and I didn’t even knew about it…. I AM DEAD…
He said,” Hello, Mr and Mrs. MALIK, pleasure meeting you here. Nice arrangement. You proved my choice absolutely correct. Meet my girlfriend Maya…”
My father gave a shocked expression and I smiled sheepishly, this idiot how can he say something like that. Uuuuuhhhh…
My mother smiled, showing that the devilish interrogation session is coming ahead. My mother replied, ” Hello, daughter how are you? You said you were busy? I see that you are really busy…”
My father smiled at me and said,” Enjoy you two, I have to attend others so.. we would like to go…”. My father came closer and kissed my forehead and said,” Nice choice”. I was shocked, what is this happening? Why is it so easy to believe a lie.
They both started leaving, when my mom turned and winked. I was scared now, she is going to kill me….
I Immediately separated away from him and said,” I am not your GIRLFRIEND…”.
He smiled and said,” Where they your parents? But you don’t look like rich bratz?”. I exhaled a deep breathe and I was about to say, when that man with blue tux who opened the door for us came. He whispered something into his ears and Jacob said me to wait and rushed with him.
I was waiting for him to return. But he took to long.
…
30 minutes later.
My phone vibrated. I removed and my hands were shivering. It was Mr. Mystery.
I saw a video sent on my WhatsApp. It was Jacob tied on a chair and accompanied by 4 big men with guns.
Then my phone buzzed, I gulped hard and picked it up.
Me: H.. hh.. Hello….
Him: Is my kitty scared?
Me: leave him…
Him: no…
Me: please…You can’t be this cruel…please…
Him: Come on top floor, room no 2002….. you should know as it is your father’s hotel…
Before I could say anything he simply hung up…He hung up on me.
Uuuuuhhhh…this guy…
CHAPTER 46
I was beyond irritated, I just wanted to kick my butt for making that stupid decision last night…
Huh, me and my stupidity caught Jacob in its claw. How can he be so dangerous. I can’t even run because I can’t risk somebody’s life. I am sorry Jacob, I should have warned you about it…
I was shivering badly…. how can Mr. Mystery be so outrageous. Does he really loves me or I am just his passion…. for stalking…. uuhhh this getting above my head now…. I decided to go and find him myself. I have to do it…atleast for Jacob.
I know, I might sound crazy, crackpot.. but I am attracted to Jacob, I guess…physically…. what if he is not Mr. Mystery oh no…. I risked his life.
I simply rushed towards the exit of the hall. I started walking fast, but these heels. I literally “hate the person who made this…. heels”. I reached the lift and waited for the elevator to come. But as usual, whenever you need it….. it’s always fucking delayed….
It came after few restless and very impatient seconds. I walked into the elevator and punched the 20 th floor. After 2 seconds….
I yelled,” Oucccccccch….”. Literally who said me to punch. After whimpering a little. I calmed myself and switched to my angry mode again.
My anger was flaring up by every passing second. It was never me…he called first…then kissed me first…. then again…then…again…proposed me to wait…. he returned…. He is not interested to show his face and still expects me to wait…….. now he fucking kidnapped that guy who was my suspect……Tell me where is my fault in it….. I don’t even get a chance to ditch him….
I was still mourning when the elevator opened. I exited the elevator and moved towards the room. I saw 2002 written and that’s when I made up my mind…that I don’t want him in my life…. I banged the door open… I entered only to see the floor covered with rose petals….
Oops I guess, I entered someone’s honeymoon suite…. oh no…I turned on my heels…and was about to leave when I heard a familiar voice. He said,” You are at the right place Maya….”. Wait .. who is he? The voice is like Jacob as well…. oh noooo…
I turned and a cold shiver ran down my spine, when I saw the same tuxedo on Jacob…. I gulped and asked,” Where is Jacob…?…”.
He laughed and said,” So you are here for him.. huh…that’s interesting…”.
I asked again,” where is Jacob…answer me now.”. His face was covered in the same mask, which he wore on prom night…. He smirked and said,” What if I don’t….”.
I was beyond irritated now, I simply moved towards the door and turned the knob to exit. Within a blink of an eye, the door was banged back to close and I could feel someone’s presence behind me. My body went rigid…. I was sweating…. because I know he can be dangerous…. I asked him,” What do you want from me?”. He didn’t said anything, he simply caught my wrist and dragged me to the center. I saw a table decorated with rose petals and a chocolate cake placed on it. Literally, he wants me to listen to him…. I dragged my hand away from him and asked,” Who are you? I don’t love you anymore…. I hate you…. I hate you…. leave me…. alone…”.
After saying this I was breathing heavily and few tears escaped my eyes. I didn’t wanted to show my weakness and here I am crying. He turned on the projector screen which was placed on the wall. I saw a teenage boy’s image. He is having big glasses, skinny cheeks, dark black hairs, skinny tall figure…..
He is…he is he is….,” Champu” I whispered. Yes, everyone in school used to call this boy that in school. He chuckled bitterly and turned and said,” see even you don’t know my name……”.
He continued,” You know this teenage boy proposed you and you said me to see myself first… you said you don’t waste time on such people….” . He paused, he had tears brimming in his eyes. Oh no, I didn’t know…I was so cruel…
He continued again,”it’s fine I accepted it, that you were career oriented but I was hurt when you threw my letter on me… I decided to never show you my face but I ended up in the same college as you…You saved me once, when the boys bullied me, so I thought why not help you…because you were changed…into a weak nerdy…I thought I will escape…but I fell for you in past so … there was no turning…back…”.
He started walking slowly towards me, I asked him,” Where is Jacob? You can’t harm anyone…you were such a sweet boy back in school…. please don’t hurt him….”. I was on the verge of crying when he said, ” I never trapped him, it was animations…my lady….”.
I Looked up shocked, when he smiled. He slowly caught my arms and said,” I love…you…I don’t know what will you do…when you will see my face…but still…. I love you…..”
I tried wriggling and pushing away from him when he said,” I am sorry…. i didn’t meant to scare you….”. This was it, I bursted into tears…..
He calmed me down and hugged me tightly. What’s with me crying and him hugging. He suddenly asked,” Do you love Jacob?”. I pushed him away … and removed the necklace he gave me and said,” I don’t want it…. yess I don’t love him….”.
I started moving towards the door when someone grabbed my wrists and pulled me back and I was hit by a very strong and muscular chest…. uuuhh my weakness….
He pulled me away from the door and made me stand away from him. He slowly tilted his head and removed his mask. What I saw next was my nightmare coming alive…. it was…it was…. Jacob…I was shocked…. yet all the clues… stated that he is he culprit….
My jaw was dropping, he saw straight in my eyes waiting for an answer. But I was tongue tied….
Suddenly my anger flared up to its maximum. I slapped him hard and he said nothing. I said, ” For playing that stupid trick…”.
I slapped him again and said,” For hiding…. from me…after being so …sooo close to me…”.
I was about to slap him again, when he caught both my hands and dragged me towards him. He slowly bend down and said I am sorry.
I made up my mind, that I don’t want him…ever again…. so I decided to wriggle away from him. After a hard glare, I was frozen at one place. He slowly cupped my cheeks and kissed my lips….
This time all the butter flies and sparks were surrounding us…. I was on air…oh my god…. he was so sensual….. so soft. His hands moving on my body driving me crazy…. I was lost…..
Today, the principle of conservation of energy was denied. The principle said, the energy can neither be created nor be…. destroyed…. but I was feeling all the sparks generating from within me…. driving me crazy… I missed it so much…. Ooppsss I forgot that the energy can always be transformed into one form to another….
So…. this is it…. I finally caught him…found him…. maybe…he found me…. I am in love with My ‘Mr. Mystery’…. or you can say ‘ Jacob…’.
Driving me…insane I separate from him panting. I said,” I hate you….”. He chuckled and said,” I feel it…the way you kiss says something else…only…. I love you…. My lady….”. He kissed me again and we both ended up confessing each other.
I love him…. I would always …love him…no matter if he is a playboy…wait…it Mattersss!!!! Uuuuuhhhh….
