We reached before a mansion.
Beside the gate there was a name plate
Shah and Family.
I figured it was his house, well mansion.
The security obviously let us go in.
There was no one no one I repeat no one
in that whole big freaking mansion.
"Where's everyone?" I asked
"Oh no one lives here." Arhan said.
I raised my eyebrow at him.
"It's a farmhouse. My family got it for investment purposes. It's really peaceful though, I come here often."
Arhan said.
"So what does your family do?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Real estate business." He said.
"You can choose any room you want." Arhan added.
"I'm staying here? Seriously? I don't think it would be...." I said but he cut me off before I could finish
he looked me in my eyes. Brilliant eye contact may I add.
"You are staying here I don't care if you don't want to, this is safe and best for you, you are not leaving this damn house without security and you will now only travel with me, even when you want to go to college, I hope it's clear, it's not a request it's a command."
Wow
That was really protective? And sweet?
"I don't think I take orders." I told him not letting him know I was actually kinda impressed?
"You will now when it comes to your life."
He said not breaking the eye contact.
Don't make me fall in love with you come on.
I finally gave in, picked a room and my stuff was shifted there.
"I lied." Arhan said before he left.
"What do you mean?" I asked in disbelief.
"There was no blind date setup by our friends, I saw you in college and I really liked you so I asked your friend rose if she would.... you know." He said
what?? Wow
"I'm not doing all this to impress you, I really care about you and at any cost I don't wanna lose you." He stepped forward saying this.
The eye contact mannnn.....
"You don't have to understand, reciprocate or even remember this if you don't want to but I'm in love with you, Liya Sharma and I have been for the past 7 months, silently."
Oh my god
"Why didn't you say this earlier?"
I asked curiously.
"I wanted to confirm my own feelings before rushing into anything that wouldn't last, I wanted to make sure it was not a silly crush or infatuation." He said very maturely.
Could he get any more loveable than he is right now? I wanna hug him and be the one he loves and I want to reciprocate but no it's not safe for him, I can't risk anything, I can't put him in danger. I'm sorry Arhan but we can't ever....
I wanted to say all this but I didn't.
"How come I never noticed you in college?"
I asked him.
"I'm a very lowkey person and more than college I'm involved in my business so I think a lot of people don't know me expect my friends but that's fine I don't care about the amount of friends I have because the ones I have are the real ones."
He said with a smile.
"Thank you for today and everything you did." I said but he put his finger on my lips.
"Please don't make me feel like an outsider by saying thank you, even when you don't want, I'll be looking out for you."
He said.
He started to go away.
"Wait are you not staying here?" I asked him as he was leaving.
"Do you want me to?" He asked back.
I shook my head saying yes.
"Okay then, good night, I'll be in the room beside." He said so sweetly that if I was a chocolate I would have melted.
He was the one I have been dreaming about... Prince Charming you know?he was everything I wanted but why did he have to come now in my life when everything is so messed up....
I went to sleep in my bed but I was not at peace and suddenly just as I was sleeping for some time.... a nightmare came.
