Sourya's Pov

I messed it up totally and successfully.She called me a"Pervert".I just want to bang my head to this wall.How can she call me as such?!She even compared me with Prithvi.She always makes me angry with her half-wit.

She left home,I am waiting for her in airport.I don't think she would turn up.To my surprise she came.We barely spoke to each other all the time.

We reached Banglore through connecting flights.She became mute and looks so vulnerable.I am partially responsible for her behavior.

We checked in at hotel in the evening.She looks so tired,She went to her room straight.I didn't try to talk to her.I know she hates me but I am helpless.

We got opposite rooms.I just want to talk to her to just to bring harmony but what if I do something mad it will surely complicate the issue .So I want to stay away from her.

Can I?!I sighed!

I felt irritated as I heard someone knocking the door.

"Come in"I shouted and shocked to see Akanksha aka Akki!

"Hai buddy"She came straight and hugged me.

"Hai"I hugged and smiled.

"What's up"She smiled.

"Nothing much"I winked.

"Shoot?!"She questioned.

"Yes!"I nodded.

"I will do this one"She volunteered.

"I can't pay you to your standars"I frowned.

"Shut up,I will do it"She said sternly.

"You can't"I warned.

"I will do it for you"She is so stubborn.

"It's not upto your stamina,standard..."I sighed.

"I started my career with advertisements"She smiled.

"But...."I walked to her and cupped her cheeks.

"Do you want to do it?"I asked her.

"I will do it"She said pleading.

"Okay!"I nodded.

"Thank you!"She smiled.

"I have to thank you!"I smiled back.

I just called Shruthi and told her the news.

She was surprised at first felt anxious later.

Despite my warning Akanksha wants to do this ad at any cost.

I called Mandira.What should I call Mandira or Ananya?!

She didn't pick my call.I want to talk to her badly.I just went straight to her room and knocked the door.

She opened the door after a second.

"What?"She asked me standing there holding the half opened door.

"I called you"I showed her my phone.

"I know"She looked away.

"I just want to tell you something"I said trying to stay composed.

"What?"She kept a sulky face.

"About the work"I sighed.

"About work?"She raised her eyebrow.

"We finalized our female lead"I said happily.

"Who it is?"She asked casually.

"Akanksha"I answered.

"I expected this"She said sarcastically.

"What does it mean?"I asked.

"Playboy and gold digger"She muttered something.

"What?"My anger rose to peaks.

I just hammered the door.

"Awch"She bellowed in pain,tears are falling from her eyes.She collapsed on the floor.

"What"I realized my mistake.

She was placing her hand in groove.

"Sorry"I bent on my knees and took her hand into my palm.

It is bleeding,I can't control my tears,I took my kerchief and pressed against her hand.

"How are you feeling?"I just want to beat myself.

"Go away"She shouted.

"Please"I begged.

"I said Go away"She shouted again.

I left with teary eyes.

Akanksha,I met her six months after Anu's tragedy.Exactly three and half years ago.I met her one night on road.Those were the days,I have no work except sleeping and consuming alcohol.

Past in Italics

My car broke down in the middle of the road and I am fully drunk I don't know what to do as I slumped there on the road

"Hai"A girl came and forwarded her hand.

I Just lifted my head up and asked"What?"reluctantly.

My speech is slurry and I can't see her properly as she is standing under the light.

"How are you?"She asked me smiling.

"What do you want"I shouted at her.

"Are you Mr.Sourya?"She asked me very politely

"So what?!"I mumbled.

"Thank you soo much!"She caught my hand said wiping her tears.

"What?"I am truly irritated

I got up and looked at her.

"Sir,you gave me the very first opportunity,I can't forget you ever?"she stood there not at all willing to budge.

I am truly irritated now.

"Shut up"I shouted.

"Sir!"She screamed.

"Go away"I got up and took two hefty steps and stumbled on ground.

"Just move"She shouted.

"What?"I felt a sharp ray of light penetrating into my eyes.

"Go away"She shouted again.

It took an second for me to notice a large truck coming infront of me.

I didn't move,She came running and pulled me.

We fell down of rocks on roads luckily just escaped with few wounds.

I would never forget that day.I just admire her and adore her not because of her everlasting beauty she has just because of her beautiful heart.

We used to met now and then.One day I came to know that she lost her family members in a train mishap when she was a teen.She smiled and said

"They will be watching me from skies,Every day I look at my mom and dad through skies,they glitter like sun,they shine like moon.They are around me all the time watching my everymoment.They said that they will live in my smile,I don't want to loose them"She smiled.

I didn't say anything just smiled back at her.

We started meeting very frequently just to find solace in each other's smile.I always treated her as a bestfriend,just as Pramod but these tabloid journalists who mistook our friendship started writing gossips every day.

We never heed to those words and paid attention to their wits.

Mom and Dad too believed it and felt happy for me,They even told me that they are ready to accept Akanksha as their Bahu.

I later explained them the way we met and how did our friendship blossom.They just smiled and felt happy.

We started ignoring the media aroud us which fed too much rumours,gossips to a layman about us.

For the world I am a ruthless Business man and she is a gold digger.Nothing more.

She too feels the same
