After helping me getting down the shelf... He held my hand and said "Come little bird I need to complete some work very urgently.... You can have some rest or anything you want... "

What I would do here in this big house??? Ahhh I replied quickly.... "Can I sit with you I promise I'll not disturb pakka"

He looked at me for a second and smiled... "Of course you can sit with me" He touched my nose softly and said "And yeah you can distrub me too anytime anywhere..... Hmm kiddo"

I smiled looking down and said "Thanku" and he chuckled and said "Don't be.... My young lady"

And I sat beside him on the couch and he grabbed his laptop and started working... I kept looking at him.... The way he was doing his work... His hair were messy and sleeves were folded... Uffff... His long slender fingers were typing on the keypad..... And his perfect veiny arm... His broad biceps... He looks so sexy while working.....

Ahhhh shivi Stop it and I closed my eyes.... It seems like he noticed me and he giggled while working... I felt embarrassed ahhh how stupid I am.....

To distract myself I peeked into his laptop to see what he was doing but well it is not my cup of tea... Honestly I didn't understand a word.... And then I took the pen and sheet from the table and sat on the floor... I started drawing something.... And was too indulged in that... I made a tree... Flowers... Rainbow.... Clouds and so many butterflies.... After completing I smiled and excitedly looked back to show this to him....

And I was stunned on looking that he was sitting behind me... Shit!!! I was too lost in sketching that I didn't even noticed... I bumped my head into his broad shoulder and said "Ouchhh"

He smiled and said "Carefully baby girl..."

"From how long you were here?? Have you completed your work??? " I asked him thinning my eyebrows.....

"Hmmm since you have been drawing butterfly... And I didn't know my little Shivanya is this much talented" He said taking that sheet from my hands and looking at it like it was the best sketch he had ever seen....

I looked down and blushed he creased my head and said teasingly "Awwww my shy baby"

I hit his chest softly and tried to take that page back "Aaa aa am not giving this beautiful piece of art back it's mine now" He said raising that page above.....

"It is not that beautiful... " I said but he replied keeping that page safely and carefully under his laptop... "See from my eyes butterfly then you'll realise how precious it is... "

"Ufff aap aur aapki baatein aap hi jane" I said and he smiled a little.......

Then I suddenly remembered one thing and faced his side folding my legs......

"Kartik... Can I ask you one thing... " I said slowly....

He looked at me and said "Sure baby girl... "

I looked down and asked "How long am going to be here??? I mean bhai and bhabhi must be worried.... May be... "

He looked at me with mixed emotions... I don't know whether those were pity or concerned or anger.... And I realised I shouldn't have asked that....

He came closer to me and asked "Don't you want to live here hmmm? "

"No no I didn't mean that.... Obviously I love to be here but bhai.... " I said quickly....

He looked away and said "Don't worry I had talked to him and you are not going anywhere... You'll live here only from now on... "

What???! What he mean from now on??? Did they throw me out of the house??? I know they don't love me but........ A tear rolled down my face..... But I wipe it off quickly I don't want Kartik to see.....

"Kartik..... " I said softly...

"Hmmm" He said still not looking at me.....

"May I ask why???" I asked looking down in almost inaudible voice....

After a moment he pulled me near him and cupped my face.... "See Shivi I don't have answer for your why now but it's for your good only hmmm you trust me right???"

I looked into his for for a moment and nodded and he creased my cheeks softly and smiled weakly....

But I can't live with him??? I mean I want to live with him too but it's not right.. He already had did too much for me...... He have his life too.... How long he'll help me like this........

"But kartik..... " I said slowly....

"Hmmmm"

"I was thinking that.... "

"Hmm baby say.... " He said softly

"That.... You leave me in girl's hostel.... If bhai don't want to keep me with them... I... I don't wanna be burden... On you.... "

I finally said with tears in my eyes... I didn't have courage to see in his eyes after this.....

He left my cheeks and took a deep breath massaging his temple.....like like he is calming down his anger......I was too afraid for his reaction now... Shit shivi.......

He held me tightly from both my shoulders and pulled me closer... I was looking down and he said firmly "Look at me.... "

Krishna jii Ahh... I gained strength and looked at him slowly and he was glaring at me angrily.... And I looked down again... And said "Am sorry I didn't mean I was just..... "

"Shut up or I'll shut your innocent lips by sucking them that they'll swell badly am telling you.... " He said slowly but in authoritative way.... What???? What he'll do??????

And I quickly kept both my hands on my lips covering my mouth...... And closed my eyes......

"Shivanyaaa" He said in voice but not angrily but like he's done with me..... And I slowly opened my eyes....

"Hatao apne haath" He said

And I shaked in no... And he raised his eyebrow and I closed my eyes again.... He left my shoulders and I opened one of my eye slowly and he was sitting folding his arm.....

He sighed and said "Don't you ever dare to say you are a burden for me and you are not going anywhere..... " And after saying this he stood up and left from there.....

I peeked at him and saw that he went upstairs and I finally moved my hands aside and took a long breathe.... Thanku krishna jii bacha liya aapne.....
