I get drunk on jealousy.

Abhimaan's Pov

As I saw her I immediately looked towards my brother. Who blinked his eyes assuring me that he is fine but I knew he was just assuring me and he was anything but fine right now. I remember my brother's vulnerable state back then 6 years ago. He was a mess. He started drinking and smoking on a daily basis. He was on the verge of committing suicide when somehow Badi Mami (Sid's Mom) got to know about this and she pulled him back from this situation. She took a promise from Sid that he won't pull any such stunts ever. My chain of thoughts broke when Nanu introduced me to Mahira. I was determined to scare her off but my mother's words rang in my mind.

We left for the garden and I told her that I didn't want to marry her but she was hell bent on not backing off. As we walked in I saw her moving towards the kitchen. While I moved back to the sitting area. I saw Sid coming from somewhere his eyes were red due to immense anger. I held onto his shoulder and he assured me that he would tell me everything when we reach home.

Soon Mahira, Mahira's mom and My mom came out from the kitchen.

"So beta (child) what is your answer ?" Nanu asked. I was smiling internally knowing well that she would say no to this marriage as I have already asked her to do so but my smile dropped as soon as I heard her.

"It's a yes from our side." My heart stopped beating as if it has forgotten how to beat.

When did she even asked for my opinion. And over the fact I have already told her to back off from this marriage. I started sulking at the mere thought of her invading in my life. Soon everyone started congratulating and hugging each other. While I glared at her for pulling this stunt but in return I only saw her rolling her eyes. She is the first ever girl to have the audacity to roll her eyes on me.

Sidhansh's Pov

I saw her. I saw her after the whole freaking eternity. She was looking absolutely stunning in that white dress. As I observed her I saw her hair colour has changed from the shade of her original brown hairs to slightly lighter shades of brown. Her freckles which made her more pretty were nowhere to be found on her beautiful face. Her button nose and her lips were still the same with a beauty spot adorning her left cheeks. There was no presence of her chubby cheeks which she had back then. She has become so slim. No wonder she has skipped her meals. But then too she looked fit. I wished she never left me. I wished that night never happened. Suddenly that night's incident came flashing before my eyes. Causing the anger, hatred and pain over power my love for her.

My chain of thoughts broke when I heard Kartik introducing her as his Chiku. She then nudged him and asked him to call her by the proper name. She smiled looking at him and then at everyone. My fingers curled against the glass as I saw Kartik putting his arms around her shoulder. It was anything but friendly from my point of view. She didn't even tried to remove the hand from her shoulder. Back then I remember her hating any kind of physical touch due to her trauma and look at her now all lovey dovey with her oh so childish boyfriend.

She looked at me as if knowing I was staring at her. Her eyes were teary as she looked at me but she again averted her gaze to other direction somewhere it pricked my heart but she deserves that for what she did.

Soon she ran upstairs and Kartik ran behind her before covering up for her. I was already hating their closeness. I knew I was too possessive for her something which hasn't changed since past 6 years. As I didn't knew she has left the country I asked Abhimaan bhai to protect her at any cost. I asked him to arrange bodyguards and spies around her. No men dares to date her or have any kind of relationship with her outside her work, if found kill him I ordered my brother and he only asked one thing from me that is I shouldn't pull the stunt of killing myself . I knew that he knew about her whereabouts but as promised to mom I didn't asked bhai about her. Obsessed ? Yes. Possessive ? Yes. Because I knew it was always her. She was mine to cherish and mine to destroy. No doubt I hate her but I won't tolerate any guy getting between us.

As she left upstairs everyone started talking again. When I swiftly moved towards stairs from where Janvi left. I slowly walked in the corridor finding her. I soon stopped at a slightly open door. My anger rose as I saw the scene unfolding in front of me. It was Kartik and Janvi hugging each other sitting on the floor. Her face was dipped in his shirt and her hands were resting on his shoulders. While Kartik was constantly rubbing her back with his one hand and another hand was resting on her waist holding her tightly close to her. Soon Kartik cupped her face and started kissing her my fingers curled in anger and jealousy as I saw them and walked off. (As said in previous chapter he was wiping her tears).

Soon they came down giggling. I constantly kept staring at them.

While Dadi said "Tujhe achi lagti hai toh rishta bhej du ?"

(If you like her should I send her the proposal).

I chuckled hearing Dadi's teasing and waved it off by saying "Dadi pehle bhai ki toh shaadi hone do."

(Dadi first let brother get married.)

Soon everyone started to get up to take a leave and meet again two days later at the dinner to finalise the date of engagement.

"Bye Chacha Chachi." Janvi took their blessings by touching their feet. (Mahira's Mom and Dad)

"Bye Kartik." Janvi side hugged him.

"Bye Mahira." Janvi hugged her properly.

Soon the house helpers brought her luggage. I wondered does she hates me so much that she doesn't even want to stay here for a minute.

"Why are you leaving to your apartment yaar ?" Mahira whinned.

"I have to meet someone tomorrow early morning. On the top of it last time when I stayed with you, you just kicked me out of the bed." Janvi said.

Making everyone to laugh loudly while Mahira just started making faces.

"How are you going to go to your apartment beta ?" Dadu asked as if reading my thoughts as I knew back then she was a terrible driver. I tried teaching her but she ended up hitting a tree. After that she vowed to never drive again.

"By the cab, Dadaji." She replied.

Everyone widened their eyes at her answer.

In unison everyone shouted "NO !!"

"It's not safe in India to be alone at night my baccha (my child)." Dadi said to her.

"Why don't you take Sidhansh with you. He would drop you safely to the apartment. Don't hesitate my child I just want to assure your safety that's it." Dadi offered her a helping hand. She widened her eyes looking at me. I looked at my mom and dad who knew everything about her. I assured them that I would be fine and they don't need to worry about me.

"Dadi no need to trouble.........." She got interrupted by Kartik.

Kartik hushed something in her ear and I clenched my jaw looking at their closeness.

"Ummm okay Dadi, as you say." She replied. My jaw tightened as I wondered what he said in her ears that made her change the decision so soon.

Dadi teasingly wiggled her eyebrows looking towards me and asked me to drop her off. Meanwhile I chuckled looking at dadi planing us to bring us together.
