Love Is Not A Fairytale

Chapter Three

Sanjana's POV:

"Now strip... " I widened my eyes in horror...

What!? Is he mad or something? How can he just asked me to do so??

"I-I— " he cut me off.

"I said strip... NOW!!! " he yelled, making me jump in my place.

No! No Mr. Arnav Raichand I won't...

"I-I won't... " I said.

"Okay... I'll do it for you... anyways, it's our first night so you see.. " he said taking steps towards me.

"A-Arnav no.. No Ar-Arnav. " I said.

My back soon touched the wall and he started coming even closer... I roamed my eyes from one side to the other and found a knife in the fruit bowl. I picked it. I pointed it to him and he stood still.

"Dare you!! Dare you come near me, or I'll — " he cut me off.

"Or you will what? Kill me? Kill... " he said stepping forward.

Unbelievable! How? How can a person change so much? This is not the Arnav I knew... he might hate me but, he won't harass me this way... He made a grab for me and the knife worked on his arm, cutting it. I covered my mouth with one hand of mine.

"You B¡tch!!! " he yelled and grabbed my hair..

The knife slipped from my hand and fell down. I cried out in immense pain.

"Ar-Arnav please... I-I'm so-sorry.. Ar-Arnav!!! " I sobbed out.

He pushed me and I fell on the floor. I looked at him with teary eyes..

"Go, sleep there!! " he said pointing at the balcony.

He went inside the washroom, while I dragged myself to the balcony and sat there hugging my knees and crying...

Next morning I woke up with the heat of the sunlight. I looked up and found myself in the same position.. I looked inside the room. Arnav was sleeping and it was 9:30am already!! Sh¡t!!

I quickly got up and dressed up going down. I found Kaveri aunty in the kitchen.. I walked up to her..

"Sorry chachi, I should have got up early... " I said with a bit of guilt.

"No beta, it's all right.. you'll get used to.. and now you are my daughter, call me mom.. " she said with a short smile.

"Mom... do you think... umm.. I... I was the reason behind A-Arnav and Ranjana's parting... " I asked gulping.

"I knew you would ask me this and after the scene Arnav created you definitely would. Beta, I trust you and I read her letter... she clearly stated everything, then why will I blame you dear... And as far as Arnav... he is just in shock that's all.. It'll soon be alright.. " she said, giving me an assuring smile.

I smiled back at her and prepared tea and juice for Arnav. I took it upstairs slowly. Arnav was sitting on bed wearing his shoes. I quietly went up to him and kept his juice and tea on the table. I was walking when I geard a loud sound. I turned to find the broken glass on the floor.

"Come here... " he said in a husky voice. I looked at him in horror..

There were glass pieces all around.

"I said come here!! " he yelled.

I took slow steps and went forward.. The first piece pierced into my leg and I bit my tongue, trying not to cry... He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him he took the tea cup from the table and poured the tea fully onto my hand and I yelped.

"Shut up!! " he yelled but I couldn't be quiet.

It was burning, how? How can he do this to me?
