Fuck me Please
After a while, they reached home. By then, the rest of the family had already arrived. Someone was about to say something-but before anyone could speak, Atharva grabbed Maya's wrist and pulled her straight toward their room.
Later,they did dinner in their room.
After a while...
Atharva told Maya to wear a white nighty-short and quite showy.
Maya had already worn such clothes in front of him many times, so she didn't hesitate.
Atharva was only in his lower.
Within moments, he suddenly pulled her along and headed toward the study room.
Maya looked around in confusion.
Just then, Atharva removed a book placed on one side of the wall. Instantly, the entire wall panel slid aside, revealing a hidden door.
Without giving her time to react, he dragged her inside.
It was completely dark.
Maya was about to speak when Atharva switched on the lights.
Her gaze first fell on the bed and couch... but the very next second-
She froze.
Her eyes snapped to the wall.
Maya's breath hitched as shock spread across her face.
Her naked pictures.
Everywhere.
Her gaze darted around the room in disbelief. The walls were filled with her photos-some alone... some with Atharva... and only a few rare ones where she was at least wearing innerwear.
Her fingers trembled.
"Th-this... when did you take these?" Maya stammered, staring at the wall. "And that too without my permission... How dare you?"
Atharva sat lazily on the couch, watching her reaction.
One arm rested along the back of the sofa. In his other hand was a glass filled with alcohol. One leg was crossed over the other, posture completely relaxed-dangerously calm.
"Answer me!" Maya snapped.
Atharva took a slow, deep breath.
"I don't need anyone's permission to take my wife's pictures," he said coolly. "I can take them anywhere... however I want."
Maya shot him a furious glare and marched toward the wall, trying to pull the pictures down.
But the moment her hands reached them-
They vanished.
She blinked in shock.
Again and again she tried grabbing different images... but none of them came into her hands.
Behind her, Atharva casually reached into his pocket and slipped something into the glass on the table, mixing it quietly.
Maya didn't notice.
A moment later, she turned and walked back toward him.
"Why aren't these pictures coming off?" she demanded.
Atharva looked at her calmly. "They're projections. Visible because of the light. Until I want... they won't disappear."
Maya's jaw tightened. "Then remove them! Why did you even put them up?"
Atharva's lips curved faintly.
"What if someday you're not in the mood for sex?" he said smoothly. "I'll need some... backup planning."
Maya glared. "You are such a shameless person."
Atharva's gaze slowly traveled from her face... down to her toes... then back up again.
"Come," he said softly. "Drink some alcohol with me."
Maya stiffened. "Wh-what? I don't drink..."
"Then try it with me," he said. "Come."
"I'm not doing this," Maya refused.
Atharva's voice dropped, turning dangerously quiet.
"Don't you remember what I said on the road?" he murmured. "I still have enough guts to take you mid-way and fuck you right there... and no one will be able to do anything. So... come."
Maya stared at him for a long second... then silently moved toward the opposite couch.
Atharva's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Sit beside me."
Without arguing further, Maya came and sat next to him.
Atharva pushed the glass toward her.
Maya glanced at it, then picked it up slowly. "Do I really have to drink this?"
"Mmm-hmm. Drink it."He said casually.
After one long look at him, Maya took a sip.
Instantly her face scrunched.
"Ugh... it's so bitter. I can't drink this anymore."
"Drink slowly," Atharva said calmly. "I'm drinking too."
Maya's frustration spilled out.
"Why are you making me do all this? What have I even done? I've never done such disgusting things in my life... but you- you're ruining everything..."
Atharva tilted his head slightly. "What exactly have I made you do?"
"You're making me drink... Yesterday you made me fire a gun... and then-"
She suddenly stopped.
"-and?" Atharva prompted quietly.
"Nothing," Maya muttered.
Atharva's voice hardened.
"Finish the whole drink, biwi. Right now. Otherwise... you know what I can do."
Maya lifted her chin stubbornly.
"What, huh? What more will you do? Force me again? I'm not scared of you anymore."
Atharva said nothing.
He simply gestured toward the glass.
Jaw tight, Maya somehow forced herself to finish the entire drink.
Atharva watched her slowly sipping his own glass... like he was waiting for something.
A few moments later-
"Can I go now?" Maya asked. "I've finished the drink."
"No," Atharva said calmly. "As long as I'm sitting here... you'll sit here too."
Maya studied his face.
"By the way...you didn't get angry at me today how?" she asked slowly. "Even after I went out despite you refusing?"
Atharva's lips curved faintly.
"You'll see the effect of that... in a while. Don't worry."
Maya frowned, trying to understand... but couldn't.
Then suddenly, she let out a small dry laugh.
"One thing I don't understand," she said. "Today you turned the whole city upside down just to find me... so that day- instead of searching for Kavya di... why did you marry me?"
"Tell me."
Atharva's gaze stayed fixed on her.
"What do you think?" he said slowly. "That I wouldn't know the past and present of the girl I was about to marry?"
Maya frowned. "You mean... you knew about her boyfriend?"
Atharva gave a small nod.
Maya stared at him, confused. "Then why did you even go there for the wedding? And when you already knew everything... why didn't you stop the marriage?"
Atharva looked at her for a brief moment, then spoke calmly, "I went there to break it in front of everyone. To tell Dad that the girl was having an affair... so I could stay away from marriage for a few years."
That's why we didn't do any pre-wedding functions or rituals... met everyone for the first time on the wedding day
His eyes darkened slightly.
"But then... I saw you."
Maya's eyes fluttered shut for a second.
A strange warmth began spreading through her body.
"What happened, biwi?" Atharva asked quietly.
"A... ah, nothing," Maya murmured, shifting slightly. "Just like..ah it's nothing..."
Atharva didn't say anything. He simply kept sipping his drink, watching her carefully.
Maya swallowed.
"Then why me?" she asked, her voice slightly uneven. "There were so many girls there... you could've married anyone. Almost all of them had a crush on you..."
Atharva's lips curved faintly.
"But I wanted you... didn't I?"
The heat inside Maya rose sharply.
Restlessness crept under her skin.
A thin sheen of sweat appeared on her forehead and along her neck.
Inside her mind, panic flickered.
"What is happening to me... why am I suddenly feeling so uneasy?"
"Biwi?" Atharva's voice came again.
"Ah-!" Maya inhaled sharply. "Lower the AC... please. It's too hot in here..."
A slow smile appeared on Atharva's face.
Without a word, he adjusted the temperature.
But Maya's condition kept worsening with every passing second.
The heat inside her body only intensified.
Her breathing turned heavier... uneven.Her control over herself was slipping.
Maya took a deep breath and folded her arms, her eyes flashing with stubborn defiance.
"What if I had an affair with some guy, hmm? You didn't even know me back then..."
Atharva's expression didn't change - but something dark flickered in his eyes.
"He would've been dead by now."
For a second, silence hung thick between them.
Maya let out a dry, sarcastic scoff.
"Yeah right... like the whole world runs under your command. As if he'd actually be dead."
Atharva leaned slightly closer, his voice dropping into a dangerous whisper that sent an involuntary shiver down her spine.
"Try me, Maya. I will show you exactly what I'm capable of."
Maya held his gaze for a brief moment - but the confidence in her eyes began to waver.
Because something was wrong.
Very wrong.
Now the strange heat was spreading through her body more intensely... unsettling, consuming. Her breathing grew uneven, and she shifted in her seat, trying to steady herself.
But even sitting straight was starting to feel difficult.
And that... scared her.
Inside maya panicked
"Oh my God... why the hell am I feeling horny?Fuck... how is this even possible... how can I feel like this..."
Across from her, Atharva sat silently-watching every expression, every small movement... as if he already knew.
Atharva_"Anything else you want to know about biwi?"
"N..no..I... I want to sleep now," Maya said weakly. "I'm feeling very tired..."
She tried to stand.
But instantly-
Atharva pulled her into his lap.
Maya's breath hitched sharply.
She was already losing control... and his sudden closeness only made the restlessness inside her spike even more.
Atharva's voice dropped, smooth and seductive.
"How are you feeling, biwi? Tired or something else haan?"
For the first time, Maya's eyes flickered to his lips... then slowly lifted to meet his gaze.
"I-I don't know..." she whispered breathlessly. "There's just... too much restlessness inside... so please... let me go..."
Atharva's arm slid around her waist, pulling her even closer.
Maya's control was nearly gone now.
Still-she tried to hold herself together.
"Ple... please... l-let me go..."
Atharva studied her face for a long moment.
Then slowly-
His hand moved to her thigh... brushing lightly.
Maya stiffened.
"Don't... please..." her voice trembled. "Don't do anything like this, Atharva... please..."
But Atharva didn't stop.
Ignoring her protests, his hand began sliding slowly upward from her thigh.
Maya tried to grab his wrist-tried to stop him-
-but today her grip wasn't strong enough.
Atharva's dark gaze never left her face as his fingers slipped higher between her thighs, moving slowly... deliberately... deliberately pushing her further toward the edge she was already struggling not to fall from.
Maya squeezed her eyes shut and drew in a deep, shaky breath.
"Atharva..."
"Say it, biwi," Atharva murmured.
Maya bit down on her lower lip, eyes clamped tightly as her chest began to rise and fall in long, uneven breaths.
Atharva watched her for a moment.
Then suddenly-
he lifted her into his arms and laid her down on the bed.
Maya's eyes fell on him.
But tonight... there was a different kind of madness burning inside them.
Her breathing was heavy.
Her fingers, almost on their own, drifted upward... and came to rest against Atharva's lips.
Atharva's gaze dropped briefly to her fingers... then returned to her face.
She was completely losing herself now.
A faint smile curved on Atharva's lips.
Without warning, he caught both her wrists and secured them to the bed with the handcuffs fixed there.
Then he pulled a chair closer to the foot of the bed... and sat down calmly.
Watching her.
Maya stared at her restrained hands in shock... then looked at him.
"What are you doing...?"
Atharva leaned back slightly, voice cool.
"Making you ache... the way you made me ache."
"What?" Maya breathed.
"For two hours," he said quietly, eyes darkening, "I was running around like a madman... terrified something might happen to you. So now-"
His gaze locked onto hers.
"I want you to feel the same thing."
"I... I don't understand what you're saying..."maya trembled..
Atharva's lips tilted slightly.
"This sudden... horny feeling of yours?" he said smoothly. "It's because of the tablet you took with the drink... unknowingly."
His eyes glinted.
"I know you're craving for sex now.But i will not give it to you! I want u to feel the ache, the passion, the desire.."
Maya stared at him-shocked, furious.
But with every passing second, the effect inside her body was intensifying.
Her movements were becoming uncontrollable. Her breathing became unevenly at every moment..She was breathing from her mouth..
Her legs pressed together restlessly... wrinkling the bedsheet beneath her.
Her back arched... then fell.
Again.
And again.
Her breaths came in long, ragged pulls while Atharva simply sat there-watching.
Waiting.
After a moment, Maya spoke, eyes still shut tight.
"Atharva... please... don't do this... I can't even breathe properly..."
Atharva said nothing.
Maya turned her face from side to side, trying desperately to steady herself-but everything was slipping beyond her control.
For several moments she only struggled... fighting herself.
Inside, Atharva's thoughts ran cold and certain.
"Let's see how long you resist, baby.
You don't have another option."
Slowly, Maya forced her eyes open and looked at him.
"Atharva... please... give me..."
A devilish smile appeared on his face.
Maya_"Please... now I can't... I can't resist anymore... please help me..."
"Beg me," Atharva said softly.
Maya drew in a trembling breath.
"I-I am begging you... please... come..."
Atharva's voice dropped lower.
"Say the whole sentence."
Maya bit her lip hard, eyes flicking to the ceiling in humiliation and desperation.
Then finally-
"I am begging you, Atharva... please... fuck me... please..."
Atharva rose from the chair, moving toward her slowly, eyes burning.
"I thought," he said huskily, "I'd leave you like this... make you suffer."
He stopped beside the bed.
"But your hotness, biwi... is making me lose control."
As he spoke, he unlocked the handcuffs from her wrists.
The moment she was free, Maya pushed weakly at his chest, trying to create distance-
-but Atharva instantly caught both her wrists.
"How will you even control yourself?" he murmured near her face. "You can't even speak properly."
"M-mai... I..."
Her words broke-
because Atharva suddenly crashed his lips onto hers.
Every thread of Maya's resistance snapped in an instant.
A soft, helpless sound escaped her as she gave in... kissing him back.
A slow smile touched Atharva's lips against hers.
Even if it was because of the tablet...
Tonight-
for the first time-
she was kissing him back.
He loosened his hold on her wrists and slid an arm around her neck, pulling her closer.
And Maya-
fingers tangling tightly in his hair-
kissed him back with raw, desperate intensity.
A moment later, still locked in the kiss, Atharva began stripping away the barriers between them.
Clothes fell away in a blur of urgency.
He pulled Maya onto his lap without breaking the kiss, their breaths already uneven, their movements instinctively falling into rhythm with each other.
Maya broke the kiss for a brief second, her chest heaving as she moved against him. Tonight there was a different glow on her face-her cheeks flushed, lips parted, eyes hazy with a dangerous kind of softness.
A faint smile lingered on her lips.
Atharva watched her closely, his own movements deliberate, controlled-yet intense enough to keep pulling her deeper under his spell.
Maybe for the first time...
they were both losing themselves this completely in each other.
The night blurred.
From the bed...
to the couch...
to the edge of the table...
to the shadowed corner...
to the wall...
to the window washed in faint early-morning light...
Not a single corner of the room remained untouched by their storm.
There was exhaustion on their faces-
but no sign of satisfaction yet.
After a breathless moment, Maya whispered, voice trembling with need,
"Don't stop... please..."
Atharva's reply came low and certain near her ear.
"I will not, my love."
Their eyes met-
and both of them smiled faintly before drowning back into each other again.
Soon the room filled with Maya's broken whispers-
"Don't stop..."
"Make it rough..."
"I want more..."
-and the soft, uncontrolled sounds they could no longer hold back.
They were beyond caring now.
Beyond restraint.
Beyond everything.
Sometimes Atharva's face buried against her neck...
sometimes against her collarbone...
sometimes lower belly, between her thighs..as he lost himself completely-
-and sometimes Maya was the one pulling him closer with equal desperation. Sometimes her mouth on Atharva's dick... sometimes on Atharva's neck!
Neither of them wanted to stop.
Even when they paused for breath...
it only took seconds before they crashed back into each other again.
Time slipped.
The night stretched.
And still they burned.
After a long while-
both of them finally lay sprawled on the bed, breathing deeply, bodies heavy with exhaustion.
This time...
they looked truly satisfied.
Their faces were flushed...
their breathing slowly evening out...
and a quiet, contented smile rested on both their lips.
Atharva reached blindly for his phone.
6:00 AM.
His gaze shifted to Maya.
She was asleep against his chest, her head resting there with a peaceful, almost innocent smile-as if the storm from moments ago had never existed.
A deep, softened smile spread across Atharva's face.
He leaned down and pressed a slow kiss to her lips, her cheeks and last her forehead
Then pulled her tightly into his arms-
and finally,he, too, drifted into sleep.
Next morning...
Atharva's sleep slowly broke. Maya was still sleeping peacefully against his chest, wrapped in a rare, fragile calm. For a long moment, he simply watched her - silently, intensely - as if memorizing every breath she took.
Then, with surprising gentleness for a man like him, he slid one arm beneath her and lifted her into his arms. Carrying her carefully, he walked into the bedroom and placed her softly on the bed. Maya didn't stir... she remained lost in deep sleep.
Atharva stood there, eyes fixed on her face.
The way her lashes rested on her cheeks...
The soft curve of her nose...
Her lips... her cheeks... her chin... her forehead...
He studied every inch of her like a man looking at something priceless - something he had never truly seen before.
Very slowly, almost like a whisper meant only for himself, he murmured,
"God really gave His best art to me... You're perfect, biwi... just perfect."
As the words left his lips, he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to hers.
Maya shifted slightly in her sleep, stretching lazily before turning her face to the other side. A faint smile tugged at Atharva's lips. Shaking his head lightly, he walked toward the washroom.
After getting ready, Atharva checked his phone - it was already 10:30 in the morning. He threw one last lingering glance at the sleeping Maya, then quietly locked the door behind him and went downstairs.
Almost two hours later...
Maya's eyes slowly fluttered open.
Still heavy with sleep, she stared blankly ahead - but within seconds, flashes of last night slammed into her mind.
Her eyes widened.
She jerked upright on the bed.
Breathing unevenly, she looked around - and then down at herself.
She was still naked.
Maya grabbed her head tightly, panic and frustration crashing together.
"Fuck... fuck... How did I lose control...? What the hell did I do last night...? Ahh... God... shit..."
She remained sitting there, head lowered, chest rising and falling rapidly.
And then-
Atharva's words from last night echoed in her head.
The tablet.
The drink.
The way he had tricked her.
Her eyes instantly turned red with fury. Her jaw clenched hard.
Curling her fists tightly, she whispered through gritted teeth,
"You have crossed all your limits, Atharva... Until now I was just waiting for the right opportunity... but now I'll have to create one myself. You shouldn't have taken this step... Atharva Raisinghani."
Closing her eyes slowly to steady herself, she finally got up and walked into the bathroom.
Some time later...
Fully ready, Maya walked downstairs.
The moment she stepped down, her eyes lit up in pure surprise.
Her entire family - and Anvi - were there, sitting with the others.
Joy instantly burst across her face.
"Papa... Maa..."
She rushed forward and hugged them tightly.
Soft smiles appeared on almost everyone's faces as they watched her - everyone except Atharva... who wasn't there.
Seema folded her arms, raising a brow lightly.
"Since when did you start waking up this late? It's already one o'clock. Madam has arrived at lunchtime."
Arun nodded teasingly.
"Yes, beta... you never used to do this."
Maya cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Ah... actually... I slept very late last night, so I woke up late. But leave that - how are all of you here?"
Kabir replied calmly,
"Atharva called us."
Maya blinked in shock.
"He did?"
Everyone nodded.
Rajvendra spoke gently,
"Beta, you wanted to meet your family... but because of certain situations, we didn't want you going there. So Atharva suggested we call everyone here instead."
Dhruv chuckled lightly.
"Yes! The house is big enough for all of us anyway."
Maya was still staring at everyone in disbelief.
Atharva's move shocked her... but somewhere, it also softened something inside her.
Soon, everyone settled into lunch - talking, laughing, spending time together.
Today, Maya's face held a genuine happiness.
After all... she was finally getting to spend peaceful time with her family.
A while later...
Maya and Anvi sat near the pool outside, their feet dipped in the water as they chatted casually. A short distance away stood Veer, Dhruv, Nidhi, and Priya, while the elders remained inside the house.
Evening had begun to settle in.
Soft conversations floated through the air.
Just then, Atharva stepped outside.
His gaze moved across everyone - and then stopped on Maya.
She was laughing at something Anvi said... her dimples clearly visible, her face glowing in the fading light.
For a brief moment...
Atharva just stood there.
Watching her.
Silently.
Then, without a word, he turned and walked back toward his room.
Maya and Anvi never noticed him.
A short while later...
Without saying a word to anyone, Atharva quietly walked over and sat beside Maya, dipping his feet into the pool just like hers.
For a brief second, their eyes met.
Sensing the charged silence, Anvi smiled knowingly and silently got up, moving to sit with Veer and the others.
Atharva leaned back slightly, his voice low and teasing.
"You look very happy today, biwi."
Maya kept her gaze fixed ahead, deliberately avoiding him.
"My family is here... how can I not be happy?"
Atharva's lips curved slowly.
"Aanha... is that the reason... or last night's sex?"
Maya's eyes instantly flickered with the memory of the previous night.
Her jaw tightened.
She turned slightly toward him and snapped,
"Shut up. You forced that."
A faint, dangerous smile played on Atharva's face.
Without replying, he pulled out his phone. Calmly, he placed one Bluetooth earbud in her ear and the other in his own. Then he tapped the screen.
"Watch... then tell me - was I dominating... or you?"
Maya's gaze dropped to the phone.
And her breath hitched.
It was their video.
Her moans...
Her breathless begging...
Every sound - painfully clear.
Her eyes widened in horror. She squeezed them shut immediately.
"Disgusting... don't you feel any shame? Who even records things like this?"
Atharva answered smoothly, almost lazily,
"I do."
Then he leaned closer to her ear, his voice dropping to a whisper that burned.
"But tell me... who was dominating last night? Me... or you?"
He bent even closer, his breath brushing her skin.
"Don't stop, Atharva... please... make it rough... do it harder..."
Maya shoved him hard, flustered and furious.
"Ugh! And I... yo..you gave me that tablet... that's why- I don't even want to think about it!"
Atharva leaned in again, eyes dark with amusement.
"But it was too wild, biwi. If I had known you'd be that good... I would've given you the same tablet every time."
His gaze slowly dragged over her.
"You were too hot to handle yesterday..."
Gripping the collar of his own shirt dramatically, he exhaled,
"Uff... just thinking about it is making me feel hot."
Maya glared at him - really glared.
And the next second-
With full force, she shoved him straight into the pool.
Splash!
Now everyone's attention snapped toward them.
Atharva surfaced smoothly, pushing his wet hair back as he stood upright in the water, eyes locking onto Maya.
Maya crossed her arms, chin lifted.
"You were feeling very hot, right? Here - this cold water should fix that."
Atharva's wet gaze darkened.
"And what about your heat?"
Maya blinked.
It took her exactly one second to understand.
Her eyes widened.
She immediately tried to run-
-but Atharva caught her wrist and yanked her toward him.
Nearby, Anvi, Priya, Dhruv, and Nidhi all covered their faces dramatically.
Except Veer.
His expression had subtly changed.
Maya struggled, glaring.
"How dare you pull me like that!"
Atharva slid one arm firmly around her waist, dragging her flush against him again.
"Like this," he murmured.
Maya's eyes flew wide.
Her gaze instantly darted toward the others - who were very clearly watching.
"Atharva... everyone is looking at us! Leave me!"
But Atharva, being Atharva, couldn't care less.
Instead, he only pulled her closer.
Maya looked at him once... then at the others... then lowered her gaze, her voice dropping despite herself.
"Atharva... please... leave me..."
His brows lifted slightly.
"Why?"
"Because everyone is watching..."said Maya
Atharva's grip tightened possessively around her waist.
"So?" he said coolly. "You're my wife. I don't care who's watching and who isn't."
Then both his hands locked behind her waist, caging her in completely.
"And anyway... I'm holding my own wife."
Maya stared at Atharva with wide, stunned eyes.
Across the poolside, Veer silently got up and walked away. Dhruv-who had been smiling till now-felt his smile slowly fade. Without a word, he followed Veer.
The remaining three girls sat there, palms pressed to their cheeks, watching the two with shameless curiosity.
Maya placed both her hands against Atharva's chest and pushed.
"Leave me!"
Atharva's lips curved dangerously.
"My mind wants to do something else...but not leave you."
Maya blinked, confused.
"W... what?"
Atharva leaned slightly closer, voice low and rough.
"To devour you. God, Maya... I can't keep myself away from you even for a moment. What the hell is happening to me?"
For a second, Maya simply looked at him.
Then she scoffed lightly.
"It's just lust. Your mind is filled with this nonsense all day - that's why."
Atharva's eyes stayed on her, unreadable.
"You think so?"
"Yes."
"Okay... then fine." His grip tightened subtly. "Even then... I'm still not letting you go."
Maya kept trying to push him away - again and again - but Atharva's hold didn't loosen even slightly.
Nearby, the three girls were still openly staring at them.
Just then-
Suman's voice echoed from a distance.
Everyone's attention shifted there...
Except Atharva's.
He was still only looking at Maya.
Maya lowered her voice urgently, panic slipping in.
"Mom is coming... please leave me. What will she think... please."
Atharva didn't move.
He just kept staring at her.
For a brief second, Maya thought quickly...
Then suddenly-
She faked a sneeze.
Atharva immediately frowned.
"Offo, biwi... you're catching a cold now?"
Maya nodded, pretending.
"Yes! Please let me go change now!"
Atharva finally loosened his hold and stepped back slightly.
The moment he did-
Maya didn't waste even a second. She quickly walked toward her room.
Atharva stood there, watching her leave... eyes dark and thoughtful.
A moment later, Anvi quietly followed Maya upstairs.
---
Inside his room, Veer was pacing restlessly back and forth.
The poolside scene kept replaying in his mind.
Just then, Dhruv stepped in front of him.
"What happened?"
Veer brushed past him.
"Nothing. Why would anything happen to me?"
Dhruv grabbed his wrist firmly.
"Did it bother you?"
Veer's jaw tightened.
"Why would it bother me if they're close? They're a couple anyway."
Dhruv's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I didn't even mention bhai and bhabhi... then why did your mind go straight there?"
Veer looked at him sharply.
"Are you crazy? What nonsense do you keep talking? How many times do I have to say there's nothing like that?"
He turned to leave-
-but Dhruv caught his hand again.
"You like bhabhi... don't you?"
---
By mistake, Anvi had stepped onto the third floor instead of the fourth.
Looking for Maya, she began checking rooms one by one-
-but the moment she heard Veer and Dhruv's voices...
Her steps froze.
Quietly, she pressed herself against the wall... and listened.
---
Veer exhaled sharply.
"Dhruv, I don't have time for your nonsense. I'm going for bike racing."
Dhruv stepped in front of him.
"How long will you lie to yourself... and to me?"
His voice softened but turned serious.
"Ever since you saw Maya bhabhi at the wedding... your expressions, your behavior - everything has been changing."
He moved closer, voice dropping in warning.
"Have you forgotten she's our bhabhi? Bhai will kill you without thinking if he even gets a hint."
Veer ran a frustrated hand through his hair.
"Then what should I do? Tell me!" His voice cracked with irritation. "I don't want to think about her. I stay away. I don't even go near her... but I still can't avoid it."
He looked away, jaw tight.
"I don't know what this is... but I adore her. In that way."
Outside, Anvi's hand flew to her mouth in shock.
Dhruv sighed.
"It's just attraction, bhai. She's beautiful, her behavior is good - anyone would feel something. It'll fade in a few days."
Veer shook his head helplessly.
"Then why isn't it fading? It's been so long but I..." He exhaled harshly. "I'm getting frustrated now."
His voice dropped, heavy with truth.
"I know she doesn't feel anything like that for me. That day when we went on the bike... she maintained distance. She didn't even touch me properly."
His eyes darkened at the memory.
"Even when she got scared because of the bullets... when she was about to faint... she still kept distance."
He swallowed hard.
"The moment she saw bhai... she went straight into his arms..."
Veer stopped speaking.
Silence stretched.
Then his voice broke quietly-
"I know all this... but still I can't stop myself. Please help me, Dhruv. I really don't want to feel this way about her."
Dhruv looked at him for a long second... then grabbed his hand.
"Come."
Veer frowned.
"Where?"
Dhruv gave a small sigh.
"Come on. Let's go out for a ride."
Both of them moved toward the door.
Just before they could step out-
Anvi quickly slipped away from there.
