Aarya POV
Oh shit. My head is going to split into smithereens. Yes….yes I know big english words. Well, that was probably because once upon a time, I wanted to become a princess and my sister had told me that princess’s had very good vocabulary.
Hmmm…..since when did that cheap sister of mine get satins for bedsheets.
I opened my eyes. “Aarya, this is not your sister’s room.”
I looked down at myself. Clothes intact………hmmmm. I looked to my right. Nobody slept next to me………okay that was strange.
“Hi Aarya. You okay?” A man walked into the room. I blinked at him. Oh…..it was Mr. Long Hair.
“Hey Long Hair! I told you not to call me Aarya. It is Annie.”
I watched him cringe and then grin.
“Well Aarya, I told you not to call me Mr. Long Hair.”
Oh so he was going to play games with me. “Well, if you did not have such Long Hair, I probably would not be calling you that.”
He glanced at me warily. “My hair is not that long. The way you talk anyone would think I was giving Rapunzel a run for the prize.
“Rapunzel…..that actually sounds better.” I acted like I was pondering over the thought.
His eyes went wide. “Don’t you dare.”
Then his phone started ringing from the side table. I quickly grabbed.
“Aarya No.” He shouted.
I picked up the call.
“Hello Om. I need you to go for tonight’s party.” A voice said from the other end.
I glanced at him. Hmph…..he called me Aarya. Now to teach him a lesson. I smiled at him nastily.
“Hello? May I know who this is. So that I can let Mr. Long Hair know.”
The line went silent for a few seconds.
“Who are you?”
How dare someone call and ask me that?
“Did you call or did I call?” I snapped back. I saw Om face palm himself.
“Aarya….give me the phone.” He jostled it out of my hand.
“Haan Shivaay…….sorry……no, no….she is a friend………no not that sort of a friend…….she is not even pretty.”
What? I am not pretty. How dare he?
I scowled at him. I got off the bed and Long Hair passed me a bag as he continued to talk on the phone. Inside was a change of clothes and some toiletries.
I walked into the bathroom. It was huge.
As I removed my shirt, my phone started buzzing from my pocket. I fished it out. The caller id stilled my heart.
I quickly cut the call. Then a message came.
{Your sister looks very pretty}
There was a photo attached of Anika and Shivaay at some party. I slowly touched the screen. Then the phone started vibrating again. It was him again.
“Hello Sir” I answered.
“Hello Annie. Raj reported that you ran away from the bidding. Need I remind you that I have people watching your sister’s every move.” He cackled.
I clenched my fists.
“What do you want?” I hissed.
I knew he would be smirking at the other end. “I want you back.”
But I had finally escaped. “No, I will not give up my freedom.”
He chuckled. “Kittens should never become lionesses. Come back by tonight or we will take your sister.” Then he cut the call.
I glared at myself in the mirror. “Aarya, did you really think you can escape from them.” I asked myself wiping the stupid tears that had made their way down my face.
Om was ready in a suit. “Long Hair, where are you going?”
He looked up at me. “Aarya……Shivaay, your jiju asked me to go for a party.”
I cringed. Why was he calling me Aarya even Anika had stopped it.
He walked towards the door and stopped. “By the way, I have not forgotten what you did just now.”
I groaned. I had to put the show till he left.
A stupid call was the least of my worries.
As soon as he left, I wrote him a letter. I owed him that much.
Dear Long Hair,
I know that you are probably finding this after hours of searching for me. Just understand that a girl like me can never be caught with a boy like you. You are too sweet and kind while I am a witch. I enjoy being cruel while you search for the good.
Don’t search for me. I am long gone.
Thank you for those few minutes of being Aarya that you gave me.
Regards
Annie
Author’s note: This story will finish in a few chapters. There will be maximum 25 at least that is what I think as of now. As Anika and Shivaay are main characters and this is their story. You will only see Aarya now after4-5 chapters.
