I stared at the book lying open in front of me, with a sigh I placed my head against the open book, my mind replaying yesterday's events. Ranaji must have called papa to cancel the wedding, I must have ruined my reputation in front of him by crying like a baby but I couldn't help myself. All my life, I have been taught to focus on my studies, I tried to be a perfect student and now suddenly I am to marry such an intimidating and worldly man.

I lifted my head and inhaled the familiar rusty scent of old books, the public library was my favourite place to be at, it helped me gather my thoughts. I started packing my things slowly, not wanting to go back home but I knew that I couldn't prolong it any longer. The sun was about to set and I was still traumatized over what happened yesterday.

I left the library and smiled upon feeling the cool fresh breeze caressing my face, the smell of rain in the air made me forget all my worries, why should I worry about the things I have no control over, I will not go home with a bad heart.

************

Siya Rajput again found herself walking home alone in dark, the sun set earlier than expected, making her walk faster, even the slightest noise made her jump. Impulsively she called the very man for whom she spent the entire day sulking in the library,"Hellooo.." Siya whispered softly as soon as he answered the call.

"Siya?"he questioned in his deep voice, which sounded distant as if he was busy doing something else,"I am sorry...... if I have disturbed you."she apologised immediately, trying to control her tears.

There was silence on the other line for a few minutes,making Siya almost end the call,her toes curling and uncurling in anticipation,"Are you fine, litte one?"he murmured softly, sensing her distress.

"Can you stay on the phone until I reach home?"she asked him hesitantly,while clutching the phone tightly, feeling already secure and calm by just hearing his voice.

"Siya Rajput please tell me that you are not walking home again..."he whispered,his voice sounding strained,"Please don't be angry..."Siya blurted out without thinking, she heard him sigh,"Where are you?"he asked her after some time.

Siya could hear him throwing orders, making her frown,"Please don't, I can walk home, it's not that far, just stay online with me if you are free?" She asked him softly, on the other hand Rana Jai Singh prayed for patience,"Siya, I hate to repeat myself."he finally snapped, and ran his fingers through his dark hair in frustration.

************

"I am standing in front of the public library, do you want me to send you my location?"I answered him immediately, not wanting to anger him, afterall it was my fault and it was a miracle that he even answered my call.

"Wipe your tears."he murmured as I was about to cut the call,this made me cry even more, I could hear him driving in the background. "I am sorry."I mumbled and wiped my tears," It's okay if you don't want to marry me anymore, I understand." I continued when he didn't reply.

"Why do you think I don't want to marry you?"he asked me curiously, I sighed and sat down on the steps of the Library,"Because I am too young, naive and inexperienced in comparison to you."I replied softly, looking up at the dark sky, preparing myself to hear his rejection.

To my utter surprise,I heard him chuckle,"This is new...."he whispered softly, almost to himself, making me frown,"I don't understand."I murmured and wrapped my arms around myself.

"Get inside the car."he stated and cut the call, making me frown and look at my phone, suddenly the blare of the horn, made me jump up and I saw my future husband getting out of his large white car, making me clutch my hand bag tightly. He was dressed pristinely in a black suit, his dark hair tousled as if he ran his fingers several times through them.

"Ranaji, I am sorry.....I shouldn't have disturbed you...."I apologized and closed my eyes, wanting to just disappear, it was easier to talk to him on call but in person I couldn't even look at him, let alone speak. I felt strong fingers wrap around my wrist and without uttering a single word, Rana Jai Singh started dragging me towards his car.

*******************

Inside the car, the atmosphere was charged up, Siya was sitting on the passenger seat, stealing glances at her brooding but handsome Ranaji. She was fiddling with the straps of her hand bag out of nervousness,"You didn't answer my question?"Jai took pity on the distressed girl and started the conversation, this girl was making him do things he never thought he would do.

Siya looked up and saw his golden brown eyes trained on the road ahead,"I cried yesterday."she whispered after mustering courage, thinking it was better to come straight to the point. Jai stopped the car a little away from her house, not ready to let this enchanting angel go,"Do you want me to cancel the wedding?"he asked her, trying not to scare the girl.

Siya gulped audibly and shook her head, her long black tresses coming undone from the top of her head and falling around her shoulder in thick waves, she kept her eyes trained on his black tie. Jai reached out and grabbed her delicate warm wrist, making her eyes go wide, he could feel her shivering, this couldn't be faked, he could feel her nervousness and hesitation.

*****************

I tried to twist my wrist free from Ranaji's hold but he simply tightened his hold, making me look up at him,"Please...."I requested him softly and placed my free hand on his hand, making his eyes darken. In a blink of an eye, Ranaji lifted me from my seat and placed me on his lap,making me clutch his wide strong shoulders, I could feel his muscles beneath his coat, making me close my eyes in nervousness.

"Look at me."he ordered huskily , his lips right near my ear, making me fist his coat, I could feel my heart beating erratically,I shook my head and buried my face in the crook of his neck,"Please leave me."I whispered softly, feeling good and confused at the same time.

"Siya, did you had any boyfriends?"i heard his question and froze, of course he will think this about me, which nice girl clings to the guy whom she just met, I shouldn't have called him. He must have taken my silence as an affirmation, immediately he made me look up by pressing my back against the steering, his golden brown eyes searching my dark ones, I could see anger and confusion in his eyes,"Siya?" He shook me, his eyes imploring me to answer, so again I simply shook my head in denial, feeling my face heat up,"I am ...not that kind of girl." I managed to mumble and bit my lips in order to control my emotions.

Suddenly Ranaji let out a deep breath and buried his face against my neck, making me go still in shock, I could feel his rough stumble against my neck, his warmth and strength..... everything foreign to me yet a small smile broke out on my face. Very hesitantly I placed my head against his shoulder and wrapped my arms around him.
