Toxic love by Shikha Mishra (top fiction books of all time .txt) 📖

"And just announce about our marriage date so that they will get distracted. I am sure they will be more interested to publish the date of marriage of the one and only heir of Malhotra's" vihaan says with a small smile.

Marriage. I will get married in few months but I wanted it at the age of 22 or 23. Won't it be pretty early to get married at just the age 19 years......no 20 years as I will turn into 20 in few days. Let's not think about it now.

"No not today. We will just tell them that we are going to give them a big news on 11th November which is of course our disha's birthday ....." Raj turns his head towards me making everyone's head turns towards me and my head turns towards floor "......which we would be celebrating magnificently as you are here this year."

"But Raj don't you think that it would be to early for them to get married specially for Disha as she is just 20 still in college." That's my dad.

I eye Raj uncle waiting for his reply. "Mahesh marriage will not hinder her studies and as for this early marriage I think it should be done because something like this can happen again and I am me as well as you don't want that." Dad nods in understanding. But why is not anyone asking me? I am the one who is getting married.

"So done with everything now I will be going" vihaan says and stretches his body like he has done a very hard work.

Seeing that he is making his way to the door I again drop my head down still not able to digest the whole ordeal. I was so happy today and now this.

I jerk feeling a hand on my belly. "Let's go baby. I was missing you so much." How did I thought that vihaan would leave just like that.

"Not now vihaan." I whisper. I really want to go with him as I also did missed him but now is not the perfect time.

"Vihaan leave Disha now" I hear dad say with a sign like he is tired of saying this everytime.

"Why is that now?"

"Because......um because it's......yeah it's not perfect time for you two to go out at this time as reporters will be out"

"Yeah vihaan not now" I also take dad's side. But as soon as I said that anger courses throw him.

In a blink the table which was few feet away from me is thrown away. A yelp erupts from me. "BE. HERE. THEN. Listen to everything your dad says. It's not like something new." My heart is drumming inside with fear.

And this time he makes his way to the door. I don't turn around to see him still in shock of his outburst. "And by the way I was not going outside....I just wanted to take Disha away as I didn't wanted her here........ as I am sure she must be cussing herself in her mind thinking that it was her fault which is not it was totally mine." And with that he leaves.

Is it wrong that I feel good hearing whatever he said right now? Is it wrong that I want to go to him right now?

I eye dad and Raj uncle to understand what is happening in their brain but not getting anything. They are just standing watching where vihaan was standing.

With a great effort I mumble "Um dad can I......go?" Still not sure if he heard me or not. Should I ask with more strength?

"Yeah you can go." With widen eyes I gaze at dad. Did he just said yes? He gives me a small smile reassuring me to go.

I turn and make my way in search of vihaan in this big mansion. While going out I heard dad saying " Noone can ever love my daughter more than him." And Raj uncle hummes in yes. My heart flips. No one will be ever be able to love me like he does and I.....I will never be able to love anyone else except vihaan.

I take the lift to his floor. I first check theater room then gym room and so on. Atlast I go to his room to find him in his balcony with a cigarette. Not again.

He must have known I am here but still is not turning around. I seat on the chair which is beside his chair. "Are you mad?" I ask. From his balcony we can only see the never ending woods but it is very beautiful and calming.

"Hn-hm"

"From when did you started smoking?" I ask.

"I don't remember. I just smoke whenever I am angry or frustrated" he answers. He rubs the cigarette in the ashtray. Guess the anger is subsided.

"How did you came here. Did Mahesh uncle gave his permission to you?" There is a sarcasm in his voice, ignoring it I nod my head.

"And here I thought you came on your own."

"Vihaan I did came on my own and dad did gave his permission."

"Hm"

All day we both were seating just like that. He busy in his own thoughts and I was thinking about the marriage which is to be announce in few days.

"It's getting late I should go home." I stand up and dust my jeans. I lean down and kiss his cheeks "I love you. Bye" saying I turn around to leave.

I get stopped by my wrist, turning around I see vihaan holding it still with his gaze towards front. "I will drop you" I nod and we make our way to his car.

We reach my home. We didn't saw any reporters anywhere that means Raj uncle took it in control. I bid him bye and make my way to home. I open the gate with the keys. I hear dad and Bhai talking not wanting to have their attention on me I go to my room.

After having a talk with Mia, telling her everything and reassuring her that everything is fine now I go to a deep sleep wanting the day to come to an end.

I woke up feeling someone at my back. I turn around and see vihaan. "When did you came?"

"Just now. Go to sleep" I nod and scoot more close to him and go the deep sleep.

"Disha the girls have come and I am sending them to your room" mom shouts. So let's get ready for my birthday. Today is my birthday and according to Raj uncle my birthday will be magnificent.

"Go back vihaan" I order him and try to get away from his arms.

"No" I giggle hearing his straight forward answer.

"Vihaan I have to get ready *knock knock* see the girls have also come. Now go....." I push his arms away "....... Shu Shu"
