Madhu's p.o.v:
On hearing what he said I wanted to cry and run to my parents.
But unfortunately I can't and the only thing I can do is crying to myself. We got down from the flight and say in the car. This is the first time I Am In Paris. I saw it in movies and now I Am In Paris for real.
We reached a hotel which has lot of paintings and it's like a small palace. It's so big and it's a seven star hotel. The driver opened the door and I came out and Aarya holds my hand and we went inside. I saw all the paintings and the hotel with opened mouth.
He said "Do you like It?" I didn't say anything and looked down. He said "we can come here whenever we want. It's our hotel and it's just 4 hrs from our mansion. We can come for weekend if you want." I thought he really owns a lot. I am sure he got all this by using his Mafia power.
We went to the dining area and he pulled the chair for me to sit. He sat opposite to me. It's lunch time and he orders something and it's sphageti and meatballs. We both shared a bowl and he drank wine and I drank water.
Then he asked "Shall we?"
I nodded and we went to parking lot and this time he drove the car and I sat beside him. He stopped it near a flower shop and went inside. I peered through the window and saw a girl is walking holding her parents hands. Her father is on her left side and her mother is on her right side.
On seeing the sight, my eyes started forming tears. I wiped it and took a deep breath and looked at my rings and got angry on my fate. Then he came out of the shop and opened the door. He sat inside and gave me a beautiful flower bouquet. It is of white Lily flowers.
I didn't accept it and turned to the window. He took my hands and kept the bouquet in my hand and said " Never ever ignore me. Understand?" He gripped my hands right and nodded with slight pain. The tears hidden in my eyes fell down and wiped it again.
We went to a park and I can't believe it is already evening. It is really so green and so natural. They maintained it a lot.
We went inside and he took my hand and said "It will be so beautiful in morning with the grass having dew drops in it."we sat down on the grass and we removed our shoes aside. He said " Paris is known as land of love. Everyone here are so lovely and will not leave them and cheat them. They will truly love each other and only separated by death."
He said by seeing my eyes and I didn't look at him. Whatever he said it will not cure the injury made by him in my heart. A cotton candy shop is there and he bought me a cotton candy. He bought only one and gave it to me. I thought he is having diabetes and so he is not having. But he took a bite in it.
I said "where is yours?" He said "I don't need another that will be not being so tasteful as yours." I turned the opposite side and ate mine. There is only one last piece there and we both saw each other and were in hurry to grab it. We both put a fight and I got the last piece but little piece stick into my cheeks.
I tried to swipe it with my hands but he holds my hand and came near me. I didn't expect this coming and he licked the last piece from my cheeks. My eyes widened and I suddenly pushed him away and stood up. I said "I am going to the car."
But he didn't leave my hands and said "wait, I am coming too"with a smirk in his face. We went to the car and we drove to the hotel. We went to the back side and sat on the table. He ordered coffee and it is really different. It is not like milk it is like cream. It's like cappuccino.
It's already 7 pm and we went to the reception. The receptionist wished us and I saw no other customers there. She gave us a card and smiled at us. We went to the elevator and he pressed the button 14. I can't believe it's 14. It's so tall and we reached the floor. The corridor is really big and we stood in front of a room. He swiped the card in the door and it opens. The room is so big and it's like a palace model.
By seeing in the balcony we can see the Eiffel tower from there. It's really so tall and so scary and I felt two hands on either side of me. I am scared of heights not from seeing up to down but from down to up. Suddenly I turned by closing my eyes and my head hit to a strong chest.
A hand holds my shoulder and I placed my head in the chest and it's so warm and I closed my eyes tightly. I gripped the shirt and breathe in the smell. It's a manly scent and I came to conscious it is not my dad. I suddenly opened my eyes and lifted my head to see. It is none other than the beast.
I jerked back and hold the balcony but still his hands are at my shoulder. He said " Hey , relax it's me, love. Don't worry I am here. What makes you afraid?" I felt caring in his words and said " I am afraid of heights. I can't see something big from down to up. That's why I got scared."
He said "Ok, come we can go inside. Don t thinks of it anymore. Just relax."we went inside and he accompanied me to sit and he gave me a glass is water. I drank it and he kept in the table and sat near me. He caressed my shoulder and stroked my hair and said "Just forget about it and tell me what you would like to have for dinner."
I should have used my brain before asking that. But I felt very guilty while hearing that. My heart started painting a lot. Is that written in my fate. Still what are the things I have to cross over? Then food is served. There are veg. Fried rice and chicken gravy which is my favorite.
But my heart didn't allow me to eat properly. He said "You haven't eaten well for days. You have to eat well now otherwise I don't have any objection to feed you" by drinking his wine. I just can't help but started crying. I tried to hold but tear fell from my eyes and I wiped it and started eating. I ate what are all kept in my plate.
I fill half my stomach and I didn't want to eat anything further. The waiter kept a plate where a brownie with ice cream Is present. I love brownie and also the combination of ice cream and brownie.
He took the spoon and got a piece. He showed it near my mouth and said "Eat". I said "I am full" but it's not true. He said "I know you love it by seeing your eyes. Just eat. I don't mind anything. This is for you only. "Then I ate the brownie and it's so thick and delicious. I just closed my eyes and felt it melting in my mouth.
I opened my eyes and saw Aarya is looking at me with a smile. I felt ashamed and looked down. He said "Don't hesitate for this. It's just you and me. I will not think wrong about you ever." He took another spoon and fed me. I asked "what about you? Where is your dessert?"
He said "I already told you it will not be tasteful like yours"with that he took a piece and ate it. He felt the taste and licked his lips with tongue. There is a small cream present on the side of his lips. I said "You had the cream on your lips." He looked at me and took the tissue paper and wiped it in the wrong side. I said "No, it's on the other side." Still he didn't get it.
Then I took the tissue paper and stood up from my chair and wiped it from his lips without consciousness.
I said "See, it's here. You don't know the side itself." He didn't react but looked at me without even blinking itself. Then I realized what just happened and I stood frozen. I took my hands back but he captured my hand and suddenly I put the tissue paper down.
He holds my hand strongly and placed a kiss on my palm by closing his eyes. I don't know why but I too closed my eyes and gulped down my throat. My heart started beating faster. Then I opened my eyes and he saw me too. We both stayed like that for some time and I suddenly took my hand and stand there.
He just chuckled lightly and stood from his chair. I looked down and didn't say anything. He said "Let's go. It's already 10."we went to the elevator and it felt so silent so that I can hear my heart beat. The elevator door opens and we went to our room. He opened the door and place the card in the holder. I looked at the room and it makes my heart skip a beat and I was standing there with fear in my eyes and shiver in my whole body. He said "Do you like It?" By locking the door.
