Raghavan couldn't control the tightness which he felt in his heart by seeing harshika behaving like an emotionless person. He stroked her cheek lovingly and told her in a gentle tone,

“Baby, don't behave like this. It hurts me to see you like this.”

Harshika was little surprised with the thought that how fantastically he was acting to make her fall in his trap. She asked him with a fake smile like an innocent, without revealing that she understood his plan,

“What Mr. Raghavan ??. I don't get it. I just did like you said. Now, do you want me to do something else ?. Like crying, smiling, dancing, singing, etc etc. Just order me, Mr. Raghavan. I will do everything as per your order like a keyed doll.”

Raghavan felt as if someone was peppering his wounded heart by hearing her words. He took a deep breath to control his overwhelming emotions and explained her in a weak tone,

“Please harshika. Don't talk like this. Please try to understand. Even in my dreams, I would never think to hurt you. When my happiness lies in you, how can I hurt you ?.”

Raghavan weak voice and his broken words started doing something in her heart. This is how her heart always gets hypnotized by his words beyond her control when she hears his affectionate words. When she heard his words that his happiness lay in her happiness, her heart drummed against her chest speedily. To clear the doubts that had arisen in her mind, she asked him as she scolded her heart,

“What you mean that your happiness lies in me ?”.

Raghavan doesn't want to hurt or make her feel that he is using her by hiding his love from her. Even though raghavan know that harshika surely use his love against him to do her evildoings and to satisfy her desire, he was ready to be a trump card in her hand. Rather than seeing her in her broken and sad state, he preferred to see her using his love to achieve her happiness. With these thoughts, he confessed his feelings to her after placing a kiss on her forehead,

“ I love you, harshika. I don't know when I fall in love with you this much madly. But, it happened harshika. I tried so hard to erase the love for you in my heart. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of my love for you. I just couldn't, harshika. When I was struggling without able to confess nor forget my love, you voluntarily came to the hotel room and all the events happened at the hotel were in my favour to achieve my love. I mean.. to make you mine.. Therefore, I decided to use that situation to marry you. If my grandmother had insisted me to marry someone else, definitely I would not have agreed to get marry. I agreed to my grandma decision that to marry you only because of you, harshika. I didn't marry you to hurt or take revenge on you. I married you to keep you always close to me. I married you to fulfil my desire to make you mine. I just married because of my love, harshika. Please believe me, harshika. Please give chance to our marriage. I'm not forcing you to love me. But please give a try, harshika. Will you do ??. Will you accept me as your husband wholeheartedly, harshika ??.”

By hearing raghavan confession, harshika felt dizziness. She couldn't accept anything he said and was so sure that he was trying to make up a fable that he loves her, in order to trap her in his web to smash her life brutally.

Harshika, who had been keeping quiet until then, couldn't keep quiet any longer after hearing his fable. Moreover, she couldn't control her anger when she thought about his cunning plan which he was executing perfectly now to destroy her life. As the result of unable to restraint her anger, she exploded to him furiously,

“ Wow.. Well done Mr.Raghavan.. I never expect it from you. You love me ??. The great businessman Mr.Ragahavan fall in love with someone like me who don't suite with you in anyway. Actually, it's good to hear your fantastic fable. But you should have to moderate your story a little more because it's look similar to Cinderella story. Better luck next time, Mr. Raghavan. I just agreed to come your home for grandma not to fall in your trap. I mean fake love trap.”

As she spoke insultingly about his love and his feelings, he stared unblinkingly at her with broken and hurtful eyes. Raghavan, who had never bowed nor humiliated in front anyone, her each of the insulting words seemed as a slap on his face. Her words spread a pain in his heart which he had never experienced before. Although her words caused indescribable pain in his heart, raghavan still had a little hope in his heart that she would understand his love if he confesses his love once again. Therefore, he once again tried to make her understand his love,

“ Harshika.. Believe you.. I'm not lying to you.. Really I love yo…”

Hansika got angry and disgusted with the assumption that he was blatantly lying to her to carry out his revenge plan on her. Her assumption made her to stop his sentences by stating engagingly,

“ STOP IT, RAGHAVAN.. Enough of everything.. Why are you planning to destroy my life ?. What do you gain by tormenting me?. What have I done wrong to you ?. Yes, I admit that I did many wrong things to stop your brother marriage just because of the love which I had for him. I know that I should not have love, your brother. I admit that I was wrong. But, don't you already punish me for it ??. Yet you don't satisfy with it ??. Tell me Raghavan.. What do I have to do to make you to forgive me ??. What do I have to do to save my family from you ??. Say it, raghavan.. I will do it. Say it.. Come on.”

After harshika said that she loved her brother, raghavan did not hear whatever she said. He just stood numblessly while looking at her. Her words that she loved her brother, pricking his heart like a needle. His head throbbed as he thought that she was never going to love him whatever he does or say as her heart belongs to his brother. He could feel the pain even he closed his eyes. Her words crushed his love and dreams entirely and caused pain throughout his body. Raghavan tried to breath through the pain. He clenched his fist to hold back the tears which were ready to fall out anytime from his bloodshot eyes. It seemed to him that there was only one thing he wanted to ask her. Therefore, he asked her in a plain tone,

“ Do you still love naresh ??..”

Harshika didn't expect that raghavan would ask that she still loves naresh or not. When she enquired her heart the same question raghavan asked, her heart denied it and blabbered,

“What nonsense you are doing, harshika ??.. Just say I love raghavan. Don't lie to me that you don't love raghavan. Why did you kiss him like a desperate bitch in the car if you don't love him. I knew that you had already given him the right to rule over me. Listen to me, harshika.. Just say.. I love you, raghavan.. Just say it..”

Regardless of her heart blabbering, harshika stood still without denying or agreeing raghavan query.

On the other hand, raghavan took her silence as yes for his query and walked out of his office without saying anything. He came out of the office and ordered his P.A who is waiting for them outside the office,

“ I'm waiting in the car. You go and tell her to come soon. “
