Nalini POV

I have checked all the preparations, the meal was prepped. Special arrangements were made for dinner in the adjoining quietude. The drinks were ready poured in different shaped glass. The guests were due to arrive momentarily. Everything was decorated in Jan's taste she loves light colors. Abhi and Jan was Greeting and mingling them, with all their heart.

Jan was getting suspicious with each passing minutes. She might have realized that the party was hosted by Abhi. As the time goes on the hall was getting crammed. To my surprise everyone was dressed so elegantly, women wearing expensive gowns with matching diamond jewelry their aura screamed only one word "Expensive" and all the men were dressed up in expensive suits. I was feeling uneasy I tried to stick in one corner of hall so that nobody will notice me. Abhi sensed my nervousness he gave me an assuring smile.

"You are part of my family, don't feel nervous" He answered in a calm tone.

"Not all rich people are arrogant and presumptuous. Come, I'll introduce you to some of my friends."

After few minutes I was feeling bit relaxed. A soft music was playing in the background. This party wasn't bad at all I made new friends Mayra was one of them very sweet girl and I was enjoying talking to her. By God's mercy, I have not seen Vanassche in the party so far.

"Nal I need you to watch Jan for two minutes I'll be back." He sad looking at his watch.

"Don't panic dude everything is going according to your plan, just go and get the cake and ring." People were still in groups either sitting in groups talking or drinking. The sweet melody music comes to a brief pause after a while and the lights were dim now.

I spotted Abhi on stage with mike in his hand he cleared his throat. "Attention Ladies and Gentlemen it's my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you all! Tonight is an exceptional evening for me and my lovely wife. Yes we have completed four successful year of our happy marriage. Ladies and gentlemen I would like you to all meet my wife my life the color of my blood Janvi, I love you Janu with all my soul. The crowd gave a big round of applause to her welcome wow!

Abhi took her hand gently and brought her forward on stage. He embraced her in panda hug Awwwwweee this is so cute!!!! Everyone was looking adorably at the beautiful couple.

Then Abhi started speaking again "The reason for my survival, my long lasting happiness. Her love is the foundation of my success. I admire you deeply for your abilities and qualities. You thought I forgot our anniversary day love. I have not been able to express my love till today that how much important you are to me, but today in front of everyone I would like to express my love again. In this journey of my life I have knocked every door tried to open every window, even tried to push heavy gates to just welcome someone in my life who could love me with all her love. Then I found you, it is said that the deeds of previous birth have to be reap in this birth. But maybe I have done some virtue that God has given me you as my wife. I was an orphan, no one was there for me in this selfish world. You were born to love me and I was born to respect you, protect you. I will love you unconditionally until I close my eyes. I'm so sorry if I ever cause you pain. It was difficult to walk even a single step without you. I lost hope of living but then you walk in my hopeless life, you taught me how to live life, I love you I love you I love you infinity time and more than anyone anything in this world. Happy anniversary love let's recreate our memory once again."

He dropped down to his knee.

In the background Jan's favourite song was playing, the performers incorporate Jan and Abhi's name into the lyrics.

"Janvi Oberoi will you be mine once again for eternity."

"Yes" she whispered and he slipped the ring in her ring finger.

"I'm in love with you" He said and kissed her forehead.

She examine the ring with surprised eyes, "You bought this for me"

"No I stole it" We all burst out in laugh.

"That's a quite a beautiful ring with unusual stone I loved it"

"And I love you"

Then they both cut the cake and feed each other.

Every one clapped and roared with cheers, now the party begins.

"Have fun, thank you for joining us and go on...dance a little...like no one is watching!" Abhi said excitedly.

This was the most beautiful moment of my life. I feel envy somehow and you can't blame me it's human nature, I want to be loved by someone like this. Their love strengthened my will power that I will find someone who truly loves me. Soon my prayers will be accepted. There is so much power in love that it can break heart of a 14-year-old child and his world can just fill with hatred, and it can show a new hope to live in a 60-year-old man.For me proposal should not be expensive it should be memorable if he will propose me with a rose in a garden but his feelings are true and he owe the magic of interlude to melt my heart, I would devote myself to him totally. A life partner means someone who gives security for commitment. I believe we all have come to this world to bind in someone's love just we have to find that someone special. It is said that the streaks of hands also changes in positive direction if love is true.There is no destination in life without love. If someone loves you then accept as you are, if someone asks you to change then it's not love its deal. Marriage has a real meaning when two stick together at tough times. Earlier I thought why people gives importance to marriage but now I realize why marriage was important event in two people life coz it gives a sense of security that they'll stay together no matter what. It gives real meaning to the word family as it defines you're a part of me, I'm a part of you. Married couples don't have individual dreams it's a mutual goal. A husband and wife should love each other shortcomings and embrace them with their love because every person is not perfect, only a robot can be perfect in every aspect. But then I think about my life. The person whom I asked in my prayers will I ever get him or not, and if I get him my fate will be with me or not?

Another long train of thoughts was running in my mind.

Nal you could participate in debate competitions. My sinner self-mocked.

But I was happy that everything had gone on well at the time of his speech.

I came out of my trance I heard a low feminine voice I turn back to see who was calling me it was Mayra Abhi's business partner sister.

"What about we go and grab some starters" She asked me while adjusting her hairs.

Grabbing my clutch we hasten towards the dinner area to feed our empty belly.

After almost over-flowing my plate with different types of starters we made our way to the table in middle.

I was eating when I spotted a familiar face It was Mr. N..Night's personal assistant.... What he was doing here?

I shifted my gaze to drink some water. While taking a gulp of water my eyes connect to Van. Shit! I mentally cursed the devil was drinking and chatting with a friend of his, dressed in a white shirt with sleeves rolled up  and black jeans. I tried to look anywhere but not at him. After two minutes my breath hitched feeling someone beside me who was awfully close to me before I turned back he speaks.

"Ladies! You both look breath taking today" Van said, appearing in front of us.

"I'm glad you came, How are you?" Mayra said cheerfully. She forward her hand to greet him he kissed the back side of her hand.

"You are avoiding me Nal" He said hiding his mischievous glint. Yes my sinner self mocked as I was not in a mood to flirt with anyone.

"You know her" Mayra asked with questioning face.

"Yes, I know her personally..... right Nal"

"Oh! Great Van you have too many female followers" She said teasingly and I want to puke at her statement. Me his follower it's better I should kill myself.

"Hello I said" While playing with hem of my sleeves. Before I excuse myself he speaks up.

"Dance with me Nal" I furrow my brow at his statement. I know what he means.

"Ok! well excuse me, I'm going to get some drinks" She excused herself and went towards the bar area.

"I said dance with me Nal, I don't like repeating words" He said with greeted teeth.

I wiped the sweat from my brow with trembling hand. I sighed for hundredth times before accepting his dance proposal as I don't want to create a scene there. My hands felt damp with sweat. The fact was that I loathe him, but it seems I was not having any choice.

His expression changed immediately from frown to an evil glint. He planted a wet kiss on back of my hand. He escorted me towards the dance area. I flinch away with his touch. He knew how helpless I was.

While dancing he tucked a lock of hair behind my ear I squirmed under his touch. I feel total hatred towards this hideous monster. He was drunk as hell. His strong built muscular frame was towering over my dainty one. Ugh! Why I'm too short?

He was looking at me like a lion look at its prey. A shiver runs down my spine. His icy cold grey orbs were drilling holes in my body. He was eye raping me. I was searching for Abhi and Jan they both were out of my sight.

"If you move or tried to escape from me trust me you won't love my next move" His tone was back to I'm-your-God-you-are-my-puppet. His alcohol breath was causing me nausea. I bet he was thinking of torturing me in most crucial way possible. He was a sadistic control freak bastard.

"Do you love my touch" He asked dangerously close to my neck, his breath was tickling my neck. He places a light kiss on my neck and his hand was running on my waist. I can't take this torcher any more and there was stinging pain in back of neck. My eyes fell on the strap of my clutch which was hanging on my shoulder.

Oh! I remember the scissor which I tucked in my clutch, I kinda like that thought I can stab him if he misbehaves. I rummage through my clutch my hand touch the cold metal Eurekaaaaa! I find it. Without wasting a second I stab on his neck.

"What the fuck!!?" He groans in pain. I jumped back listening his furious deep voice. My breathe hitched seeing he was coming towards me.

Slap!! Slap!! Slap!!!!!!!!

He slapped me hard I felt face straight on ground. He kicked at my stomach I yelped in pain I was expecting another kick. In a moment he was lying on floor blood was oozing from his nose. Who might have punched him when I lifted up my head tried to look blinking away my tears who punched him.... It...i.i.it was Jamarion Night. My mouth was opened in O shape. I gotta go now, I thought standing up but my feet's were faltering. Somehow I manage to stand straight

My heart was beating so erratic it seems it will flush out from my chest just like a sling comes out with full force from catapult. If there was a particular word to describe an extreme angry man so I will use it infinite times. Mr. Night was so so so so soooooo angry no not angry wrathful that his veins were about to burst soon.

He punched him more than fifty times. He will kill him I have to stop him.

"Ummmm Mr. Night" I said in flat voice. He stopped and took a step towards me. Shit! Now I was the one who will receive punches.....Great Nal you will die in a single punch...... my inner voice speaks. He was taller than all of us around 6 ft. 8 in and was strongest among us. I backed away I was shaking in complete terror my back hits the wall now I was caged between him and wall. He was technically twice bigger than me my head barely reached his chest. I was looking like bug in front of Diana sour.

For split seconds there was a pin drop silence. He was staring at me with so intensity "IT WAS THE LOOK OF LOVE", his eyes held so many emotions, which were waving in his eyes which I couldn't decipher one.

I want to speak but couldn't make a sentence as if my voice was struck in my throat.

His golden reddish eyes were now soften a little bit, maybe he realized my uneasiness. He spoke breaking the ice "ARE.YOU.FINE.LOVE" He emphasized the word love with clenched jaw. Goddddddddddddd his voice was so so so so soooooo raspy.... OK my question to everyone is it possible to have sex with someone's voice. Just kidding but if possible lemme know I'll loose my virginity with his voice.

OK,  now let's come to the point where we were and regard having sex with his voice, I'll think of some way my sinner self said with exciting tone. The eyes have been regarded as the mirror of our mental states. His eyes were now magenta red a deeper shade of red which give me assaurity that he won't harm me. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy. It feels like his eyes and my eyes has same thought about life and love. His eye speaks that his monochromatic life wants to be filled with colors of love. I feel like that I was no more alone my mind, my body and my soul everything belongs to him. The pain at back of my neck vanished.

I looked down fidgeting my fingers. I knew I was blushing....just a little bit.

Wait! Why the hell I was blushing.......? In a seconds I was feeling embarrassed. He examined me for a while then. His right hand fumbled in pocket for something. I back away maintaining as much as distance as possible.Oh! no he was going to shoot me No no no no no, this is my last day on Earth I chanted in my head.

"Don't kill me" I whispered sobbing.

He gently offered his handkerchief, without wasting a second with weak smile I accepted his handkerchief. I obeyed him fearing the anger he was radiating. His handkerchief holds his relaxing scent as if I was in lap of nature. I inhale the scent instead of fearing him I was soothed by it. While dabbing the blood from corner of my lips with cloth I feel like my body was wrapped in blanket of total security. It feels like we are two pieces of puzzle which finally met and fit together perfectly. Stop your stupid thoughts Nal.

"Thanks" I replied meekly.

He took the handkerchief and softly placed it inside his pocket.

He turned towards the crowd "What's mine nobody can touch it Nalini Gill is all mine. She belongs to me........ Jamarion Night" he almost barked on everyone and taking a last glance at me he left. I was unable to register any words as my mind was jammed listening his tone.

Keep loving and cherishing my book love you all. May God bless you all.
