Touch Her And... (Completed)

Chapter 6

Daivik:

From that day onwards I couldn't stop myself from visiting her place. I used to leave by 4 AM in the morning and wait till she completed her Puja and then leave. I was growing a bad habit, but why did it feel so good? Was I not suppose to be the person filled with cruelty and all, at least every one described me that way. What's happening to me? I cannot let a crazy dream manipulate my decisions. This is so not me! What is so special in this petite little girl? Yes, she is adorably petite, small.. just like a cute little fur ball. "No! Stop it here, not again. You have to stop coming here. You know what you are. You shouldn't get even an inch closer to her. Look at her, she is just like a delicate piece of art, what if you break it brutally? Is it something new being the devil you are? Stay away from her. She'll be safe, perhaps happy. Why do you want to ruin everything she has with your whimsical nature?" I was warning myself. This shouldn't have happened, I shouldn't have seen her in the first place. My hormones never control me. "I don't let my emotions control me.. not anymore!" I mumbled to myself and drove back to my mansion.
Now, here I am, walking to the guest room of my mansion, holding the most fragile piece of art in my arms, it has not even been three days. What is happening? I could have let Manik handle everything, but I couldn't, I will not. "Never!"I said in my mind, as though my brain is loosing all its control over me.
I opened the door of the guest room with my left hand, went inside. It was dark, as though resembling me, but then my eyes shifted to the small piece of brightness I'm holding in my arms. I don't want to put her down on the bed. "Can't I hold you for few more minutes? What are you doing to me? And why did you let Manik touch you? You shouldn't have. You. Belong. To. Me. No one else should touch you, you should know that fur ball." I was about to place a peck on her forehead when she nuzzled her face into my chest and a small gasp came out of my mouth. I sighed and put her down on the bed gently. It was tempting to see her sleep like that, who knows if I'll ever be able to see her this way again. " What are you doing to me Teressa Brown ?" I said and felt how pathetic I might sound to anyone else.

Daivik was engrossed in his thoughts when Manik entered the room. "She still didn't wake up?" Manik's words startled him as he came back to his senses. "Should I spill some water on her face, this way people wake up and get back their consciousness in the movies at least," he said without knowing what should be done. "No need, let her rest, the doctor will be here any minute now. Till then call someone from the maids to be here, we have something to discuss Manik, let's go." Daivik said before looking back at Triss once again to make sure she is comfortable and heading out.
They were sitting over the dining table facing each other. "So, Manik, will you tell me what's going on, why are you bothering yourself so much for this girl?" Daivik asked in a manner as though he just doesn't bother about Triss at all. Manik seemed a little nervous as to how he was going to respond and Daivik's piercing stare was making him all the more uncomfortable. To him it was his Dev bhai's "overprotective mode on", but the matter was obviously not all that simple. "Okay, see bhai, she is right now the most trustworthy friend I can rely upon. I don't know about future, but she is a great person and to be honest I love spending time with her. Although she is a little too strict about all these things, that is why I only get these Sundays to see her." Manik continued pouring his heart out without the slightest of hint about how his brother's hand has already turned into a fist to the extent that his knuckles have turned almost white and how his eyes have turned into something like an evil glare. "She has this dream of becoming a teacher and I don't know why and how, but I want to help her, she deserves all the happiness," continued Manik looking at the glass of water and rotating it reluctantly, without even knowing what his words are doing to his brother. "Enough!" growled Daivik, his cold voice is enough to make Manik feel nervous. "You are deviating from your goal Manik, you were supposed to be focused in building your own life out of that wild photography thing, as far as I can remember. You almost begged me to allow you. So focus on that and let me handle everything related to this girl. Don't let all these things affect your career." He was angry and that was visible. "She will be given whatever she needs on the condition that you will not let your focus shift from your career. Am I being clear?" The authoritarian stare of his brother made Manik shiver a little, he was well aware of his brother's wrath, so he answered immediately. "Y..yes, you are bhai." He mumbled. "Good, now start packing your things, you would be leaving within a week for South Africa. I have managed to get an approval for that project you were looking for, you can complete your research. Mr. Gilbertson is impressed with your work." Daivik concluded, putting an end to the conversation. "Th.. thank you bhai.. but.." Manik did not get the chance to finish his sentence as Daivik left the table as soon as he was finished talking. It was like a dream come true for Manik but he could smell something strange in it and also he didn't feel the same excitement this time, he wanted to spend few more days here, few more days with Triss.
