Seven-year-old Amaya was running around the park, "Come, catch me." Her baby voice makes everyone look at her in awe. "Don't run this fast, Amaya you will hurt yourself." Meghana's voice reached little Amaya's ear as she attempted to stop her fast-moving legs, but she stumbled over the stone, and she fell on the ground.

She looked in her mother's direction who was coming straight away from the front while uttering, "I told you that you will hurt yourself." Tears started to gather inside her eyes as she perceived the bruises on her left leg.

Before Meghana reached her an unknown boy came out of nowhere and forwarded her hand towards Amaya, but she tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, "Come, hold my hand, I will help you." The little boy says but her answer makes that boy sad, "No, my brother said not to talk with strangers, and I don't know you."

"But you answer me, and it means you are talking with me so, I am not a stranger anymore." She glanced at him with a small pout over her lips and a puzzled impression, "How long will you stay sitting on the ground? Give me your hand." Little Amaya nodded her head but before she held his hand, a male voice stopped her action.

"Amaya." She twirled her head to meet her brother, Shaurya standing straight at the fore, her lips curled into a soft smile, and she looked at him with some tears in her eyes. Shaurya forwarded his legs in Amaya and that boy's direction, but his eyes were glaring at that little boy who was looking at him with a timid impression.

What was his fault he was just trying to help his little sister who fell on the ground but that was his fault. Shaurya never allows Amaya to make any male friends until she becomes mature and until she understands what kind of people there are in the world until she understands who is worthy of being her friend or not.

He didn't like if any male other than him or his father touched her. Being a responsible sixteen-year-old brother, he even taught her about good and bad touches which is very important for a little girl like, Amaya to understand.

"Amu, why did you run this fast?" Shaurya asked before picking her up and completely ignoring that boy, "Bhai, I wanted to win the race." She said with a pout which made him chuckle.

"Thank you, beta for helping her." Meghana says to the little boy who was just peeking at them, "But he doesn't help me, Mumma." Amaya says which made Meghana leave a sigh.

"But he came here to help you and that's why we should thank him." She said with a smile, but her eyes caught a familiar sight of Shaurya who was sending dangerous glares to that little boy ignoring this she asked the little boy, "What's your name, beta?"

He smiled and uttered, "Sidharth Ahluwalia." But before Meghana could say anything Shaurya interrupted, "Your parents did not teach you not to tell your name to strangers." He nodded his head positively.

"They told me bhaiya, but I don't think Amaya is a stranger. I always see her playing in this park." Shaurya raised his brows, "Age kya hai tumhari?"

"I am ten years old." Sidharth says with a proud smile, "Shaadi thodi karwani hai age kyu puch raha hai?" Shaurya raised his brows at his mother's answer.

"Okay, ten-year-old Sidharth, you can go now." Shaurya says which made Sidharth's smile fall, but he again smiles and asks, "Will Amaya be my friend?"

"Ye─" Shaurya's shout cut Meghana's word, "No" Sidharth gazed at him with a pout.

"Let's go home, Amu." Shaurya made Amaya stand on her feet and fixed her flower print pink frock before holding her hand. "Mom, let's go." Again, a deep sigh left from Meghana's mouth before she glances at the little boy, Sidharth.

"I am sorry for him little Sidharth." She says and walks towards both children who were waiting for her in front of the park's exit. "Mumma, you took a long time." Amaya says stretching the word 'long' in her baby voice.

"I am so sorry baby. Now, can you show me where my little girl got hurt?" As soon as Meghna uttered those words, Amaya remembered that she had fallen, and her left leg got hurt, tears started to gather in her eyes, "Mom, why did you remind her of this." Shaurya's lips left a sigh.

"No, baby don't cry I will apply ointment there." Meghna says and glares at Shaurya who just chortle looking at them "Pehle toh mujhe kahi ghumane nahi le jaate aur phir yaad bhi dila dete ho ki main gir gayi thi." Amaya stuttered and said between her sobs and for the nth time Meghana's throat withdrew a sigh.

Shaurya kneels in front of Amaya and takes her hand before wiping her tears, "Amu, don't cry we will go on a vacation, and I will convince Dad myself but for this, you have to stop your tears now." As Shaurya enunciated Amaya stopped her tears and kissed his cheek, "Thank you, Bhai. You are the best."

Shaurya again stands from his previous position, "Mom, let's go now." A frown formed over Meghana's forehead as she said while forwarding her feet towards the car, "You know what condition your dad is going to give you." Shaurya nodded her head positively.

"I know, Amaya is the one who's stopping me here and I don't want to leave her." Shaurya says, "But beta, our Amaya is not alone, me and your dad are here to protect her." Meghana says and makes Amaya sit inside the car.

"I know, Mom but still," Shaurya says and looks at Amaya who was in her world.

In the meantime, their car stopped in front of Mittal's Mansion, and the three of them descended from the car, Amaya again started to run inside when Meghana's strict voice halted her speed, "Amaya, slow down."

Amaya steadily walked inside the living room and hugged her father, "Did you have fun, princess?" Anupam asked and Amaya nodded her head while giggling. "Dad, I want to talk." Shaurya entered inside and spoke.

"What?" Anupam asked the question, "Amaya wants to go somewhere."

"Are we again back on that topic?" Anupam raised his brows, since, Amaya had told Shaurya a long time ago when her summer vacations were going to start that she wanted to go somewhere and because of this he told his mother and father to go somewhere but Anupam gave him the condition that he didn't accept, and the matter ended there.

"Yes, we are and before you say something about that condition I will tell you, I am ready for that. I am ready to join college in New York as per your condition." Anupam softly smiled, "Good beta, maine tumhare bhale ke liye hi bola tha, and anyway, there are still two years left for you to leave." Shaurya nodded.

"Now tell me where you want to go?" Anupam asked both of his children, "Tell us, Amu?"

"Italy"

"ITALY" Three of their shouts echo inside the hall, "Amaya, why Italy?" Meghana asked, being perplexed.

"My friend Jasmin told me that she visited Italy, and it was beautiful, so I also wanted to go." Amaya explained, "Okay, if our Amu wants, we will go there." Shaurya spoke.

"I will tell my secretary to book our flights for next week to Rome." Amaya giggled hearing Anupam's words.

"Amaya, tell me where you were and why did that bastard come to drop you?" Bhai asked for the hundredth time ever since I put my feet inside the room. "Bhai, he is Kiara's brother don't forget that." He sighed.

"But I told you not to meet him." I looked at him with a done expression before saying, "He lives in the same house as Kiara."

"So, you should have called me, I would have come to pick you up." I entered my walk-in closet to take my clothes, but Bhai followed me inside, "Now I come home, leave that matter aside, Bhai."

"But─" I gave him a death-dealing glare, and a sigh past his lips, "Amaya, you have to stay away from him." Ab inhe kaise batau main toh dur hi rehti hu woh khudh hi aa jaata hai mere pass (except the stunt I had pulled).

"But Bhai why you always tell me that? You and Revansh were best friends, right? I have heard his name from your mouth two or three times." Bhai's facial expression changed from concern to a furious one. "He is a cheater, he is a fucking double-crosser. He has betrayed me."

"H-how?" Bhai's infuriated eyes meet mine as they soften steadily, "Some things are better not to be told, and never raise this topic again, it hurts remembering all those shits."

"Stay away from him." Bhai said and left me alone in the closet, "Cheater?" I mumbled.

"Come inside." Nyra's voice reached my ears as I glanced at the familiar sight of her apartment, "Happy birthday, Nyra." I spoke and took her in a friendly hug.

"How many times are you going to say?" A laugh escaped from my mouth, "This was the second time." I spoke, but the sound of someone's fighting reached me and Nyra as we both looked towards the door just to see Lavanya and Ronit are arguing on something while Aayan was gazing at them with a done expression.

"Now the fuck happened between you two?" I asked, "Ye roz ka hai inka." Aayan says, and directly strides towards the couch.

"Happy birthday, Nyra." Lavanya and Ronit spoke at the same time before facing each other, "You copied me." Ronit exclaimed.

"Oo hello? Shakal dekhi hai apni, teri copy kyu karungi bhala?"

"Meri shakal ki baat mat kar, tu toh jaanti bhi nahi kitni ladkiyaan fida hai mujhpe."

"Bc, yaha hogaya tu galat, tujhpe ladkiyaan nahi ladke fida hai."

As Lavanya said we all broke into laughter because it's true, there is a new employee in our company, Rohan who likes males and he always gets clingy with Ronit as he said many times indirectly that he has some feelings for him, which made Ronit to run away from him as far as he can but unfortunately, Rohan finds him and stick with him like a chewing gum.

"Nahi yaar, auska naam mat le bahut muskil se peecha chodwa ke bhag ke aaya hu main." Ronit uttered with crocodile tears, "What did he do today?" I asked and took a seat beside Aayan.

"Arrey, he was calling me to his house and said that both of us would spend some private time." Ronit also took a seat, and Lavanya did the same before enunciating, "Toh tu yaha kya kar raha hai? Ja na jaake private time spend kar, hume to shaanti milegi."

"Tujhe itni problem hai mujhse toh tu ja, main toh Nyra ka birthday celebrate karke jaunga." He says and pulls Nyra's wrist to make her sit, "Rohan ke pass?" I suppressed my laugh and spoke.

"Tu bhi, Amaya?" Rohit fake glared at me which made me laugh. "Dost, dost na raha."

"Chup kar bey." Lavanya said, "Amaya did you inform Shaurya Sir that you are with us here?" Nyra asked as everyone knows how my big bro is.

"Yeah, I did."

"Let's cut the cake now," Aayan spoke as he already brought the cake. Lavanya placed the cake on the table while I decorated some candles above it. "Nyra, come everything is ready." Ronit spoke and Nyra cut the cake, and we all sang that typical 'happy birthday' song for her.

Nyra fed everyone cake, and I was eating mine when a call disturbed me without checking the name I accepted, and with a lot of effort I put it over my ear since both of my palms were full of cake. I sauntered towards the balcony after taking one napkin to wipe my hand, I pressed my shoulder over my ear which had my cell phone in between.

"Hello," I said while wiping my hand, the cold air hit my body so as the voice of the other person, "Beautiful" My eyes widened as I comprehended whose voice is this.

Instantly, I wiped my hands and put the tissue on the table before checking the name of the person and it was him, "Why did you call me?" I whispered, yelled at him, "Why don't I call you?" He questioned back.

"Are you going to tell me, or do I cut the call?" I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see, "Don't roll your eyes like this, sweetheart, I will give you a proper reason for it." I almost choked on nothing.

"And about cutting the call, I challenge you, if you do that I will come to where you are right now and kiss the life out of you regardless of your surroundings." I fake laughed, "You don't even know where I am, then how will you come?" A smirk curled over my lips.

"Is that so? Look down a little where you are standing... I mean from the balcony." A shiver ran down my spine, and I looked down, there he was standing with his dominant aura leaning over his all-time favorite car with one hand shoved inside his pocket and one pressed the cell phone over his ear.

"Hello, sweetheart." Not going to lie but I got cold sweats when our eyes met, and his lips curled into his dearest smirk and his shoved hand waved in my direction. After some minutes of comprehension, I made up my mind to form a sentence, "Why-what are you doing here?" I stammered.

"I missed you, baby." His smirk faded and his eyes softened when he spoke, "I wanted to meet you, I wanted to have you in my arms, I wanted to kiss you and tell you how much I missed you." He completed and made me out of the words.

"Revansh─" He didn't let me complete and said in between, "Can you please come downstairs?"

"I can't, I am with my friends." Would you believe me if I said this man made a puppy face after listening to my words and this melts my heart. "Please, baby. I want you right now." Did I just hear a baby voice? Oh yes, I did.

"I-I am coming." An unfeigned smile took over his face as I walked towards the door when Nyra's voice halted me, "Where are you going?"

I twirled to answer her, "Home" She gazed at me with some uncertainty, "Why? The party doesn't even start yet." She said and took a hold of my wrist before dragging me towards the couch.

"No, I have some important work." I said, "What is that important work?" Ronit put a question.

"I-I have to help Mumma." I nervously smiled, "Aunty? Unhe kya kaam hai iss waqt?" Iss Ronit ke bacche ki jaan le lungi, kamina.

"She has some work." I gritted out and he stopped chewing before looking at me with a terrific expression, lagta hai gadha samjh gaya. "Thik hai, hoga aunty ko kaam tu ja ya bol to main chhod du?"

"No, it's fine and Nyra I am so sorry for this." I kissed her cheek and rushed towards the door. As soon as I came out from the building, I saw Revansh waiting for me with his gorgeous smile.

He is gorgeous.

Who kills people but... still he is gorgeous.

"What are you thinking, sweetheart." My eyes met his and I got off the right track. Enchanting, "You are gorgeous." I spoke in a daze when Revansh's throaty chuckle snapped it.

"So, my baby thinks I am gorgeous." He spoke sliding his hand to my waist before crashing our fronts together, "Did-did I say that?" Blood rushed through my cheeks and ears making them crimson red.

Revansh softly chuckled before mumbling near my ear, "Did I make my baby blush." His lips brushed my ear shell as he kissed it gently which gives shivers down my spine. "Revansh." My voice came out like a moan.

"Yes, sweetheart?" He spoke and slid his mouth from my ear to the jaw. "I-I think─" I put a stop to my words when I felt his lips just beside my lips.

Without waiting for a second Revansh crashed his mouth onto mine in a ferocious, ravening kiss, he sucked my lower lips like he owns it, and his other hand found its way to my nape as he pulls me towards himself to deepen the kiss, it looks like he was trying to show me that how much he misses me through this kiss, and I feel it.

Unconsciously, my hands wrapped around his neck which gives him more access to pull me and kiss the fuck out of me. The fact that for the very first time, I reciprocated the kiss, his other hand which was previously on my waist now slides down to my ass cheek to squeeze it. A loud moan escaped from my mouth against his as he instantly shoved his tongue inside my mouth exploring every inch of it.

I unwrapped my arms from his neck and lightly slapped his chest to stop him, I steadily broke his kiss and took a deep breath, but he didn't stop his action as he snuggled his face on my neck and started to give me sensual wet kisses, "I missed you so much, my love." He mumbled against my neck.

"Revansh, I think we should stop," I spoke with a loud moan when he bites that particular spot before sucking on it. "I love how you moan for me." The last words he mumbled before facing me.

He gave me his gorgeous smile before tucking a strand of my hair behind the ear, "Come." He wrapped his hand around mine, "Where?" I questioned, but he put a soft peak over my lips.

"I want to take you somewhere." He said and stride towards his Aston Martin and opened the door of passenger seat, "Revansh, where are we─" He halted me by peaking my lips.

Ye koi tarika hua bhala?

Mujhe pasand aaya lekin.

"You will love it, sweetheart."
