His Obsession

Chapter 8 : She Said Yes

The next day Mishti arrives at the clinic only to find a bouquet of red roses sitting on her desk. She reads the card, “These roses don’t do justice to your beauty. I can’t wait for you to be all mine, love SK.” Mishti is confused, she doesn’t why but she feels butterflies in her tummy, her heart flutters. She suddenly has flashbacks of the previous night and angrily flings the bouquet in the trash can. Mishti hears her phone ringing, yet again it’s an unknown number, she reluctantly answers, “Hi little sis how are you?” asked Alok. “Hi Alok, I’m fine given the circumstances.” Alok asks Mishti if she would like to watch a movie, she agrees but decides to drag Drishti along with her.

Alok escorts Mishti and Drishti to his Silver Mercedes. Mishti’s breath hitches in her throat when she sees Shivaan. She gives Alok a death glare, he mouths the word sorry. Drishti squeals when she sees Shivaan, “SK, I’m so glad to see you. At least I won’t be bored to death with Mr Dumbass and his cheesy pick-up lines.” Alok rolls his eyes. Mishti is annoyed with Alok and Drishti for choosing a horror movie. During the movie Mishti grips Shivaan’s hand and hides her face in his masculine arm. Shivaan gently strokes her soft luscious locks, “Don’t worry beautiful, I promise to always protect you.” Mishti realizes that she is clinging to Shivaan and quickly let’s go. “How can you protect me when you are the reason for my pain.” Shivaan’s jaw clenches but he remains silent. Shivaan notices that Mishti is asleep when they reach the Patel’s residence. Drishti is about to wake her sister up but Shivaan stops her. He picks Mishti up in his masculine arms and carries her into the house. Alok attempts to carry Drishti who gives him a deadly glare. “Mr Dumbass as you can see my legs are working fine.” Alok rolls his eyes, “My dear Tigress, let’s see how long you will be able to resist my charms.” Drishti scrunches her nose in disgust and walks away. Shivaan places Mishti on the bed, he turns to leave when she grabs his hand subconsciously and cuddles her cheek against it.” Drishti peers into Mishti’s room, she raises her eyebrows at the sight in front of her. She grabs her phone and quickly takes a picture. Shivaan sees Drishti, he removes his hand from Mishti’s dainty hands. Drishti decides to tease Shivaan. “Wow SK, the both of you sure do make a cute couple.” Shivaan pinches Drishti’s cheek, “We do, don’t we my feisty princess.” Drishti sticks her tongue out causing Shivaan to break into a small smile.

The next morning during breakfast, Drishti stares at her phone. “What a romantic scene.” Divi looks at Drishti confused, “Choti don’t you know that all Bollywood movies have romantic scenes.” Drishti turns her phone towards Divi, “Mama I’m talking about Di’s romantic scene.” Mishti chokes on her coffee and attempts to grab Drishti’s phone. Divi looks at a flustered Mishti, “Mish how can you hide your handsome boyfriend from your mama.” Mishti replies, “Uff mama, he is not my boyfriend and I have no idea what he was doing in my room last night.” Drishti giggles, “Di you fell asleep and MR Prince Charming didn’t want to disturb your sleep, so he carried you and put you to bed.” Their conversation is interrupted by Divi’s phone ringing, she leaves the kitchen to take the call. When Divi returns, she has a broad smile on her face, she looks at her daughters, “We are expecting very special guests for dinner tonight. Drishti please be nice to Alok, no fighting.” Mishti starts to panic when she realizes that the Mehra’s are coming for dinner. Mishti gulps when she hears Divi’s words, her heart starts racing. “Why are the Mehra’s coming for dinner so suddenly and why is mama so chirpy, “thought Mishti.

When the Mehra’s arrive Mishti instantly meets Shivaan’s heated gaze. “Why does he always look like he is going to devour me, “thought Mishti. Shivaan winks at her, Mishti could feel her cheeks heat up. The dining room is filled with laughter and chatter when Shivaan suddenly stands up and clinks his glass with a spoon, causing everyone to become silent. “I have an announcement to make.” Shivaan gets down on one knee as he faces Mishti, “Dr Mishti Patel, I am completely smitten by you. I fell hard for you from the very first day I looked into your alluring hazel eyes, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife.” Mishti has tears in her eyes because she knows it’s all an act but she has no choice but to play along. She takes a deep breath, “Yes I will marry you.” Shivaan slips the beautiful diamond ring onto Mishti’s finger, she feels sparks shooting up her arm from Shivaan’s touch. Shivaan pulls Mishti into a hug and whispers “Smart move babygal, now you are finally in this Devil’s trap.” Mishti pulls away and notices her mother and sister’s shocked faces. Nisha squeals with excitement as she hugs Divi, “I’m so happy and proud of our children.” A tearful Divi agrees. Alok places his hand around Drishti’s shoulder’s, “My dear tigress, you have to put up with me because we are going to be family soon.” Alok kisses Drishti on her cheek leaving her stunned as he walks away. Mishti tries to pull her hand free but Shivaan as a strong grip as he leads her to the terrace. Shivaan holds Mishti in his arms as he buries his face in her hair taking in her jasmine scent. Mishti feels her heart pounding, she can’t understand why she finds comfort in her tormentor’s arms. Shivaan places soft kisses on Mishti’s neck causing her to let out an involuntary moan. Shivaan groans as he places his forehead against Mishti’s, he could feel his pants tighten with his growing bulge. “Babygal you are driving me insane.” He kisses Mishti’s forehead and walks away. Mishti is confused at Shivaan’s behaviour and her feelings towards him. “Shivaan you are driving me mad, one minute you are so sweet and kind and the next minute you turn into a monster, “mumbled Mishti. That night Mishti receives another threatening message, “YOU SL*T, WHAT PART OF SHIVAAN IS MINE DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND, I’LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR TRYING TO SNATCH MY MEAL TICKET.”
