Next day, Reena met her friends outside the restaurant. They hugged each other. When her friends looked her tired face and black circles under her eyes, they were frowned. Suman touched her drak circle with worried tone, "What happened to you?"
She pushed away her hand and said with making her face, "It's fault of my company's Ceo. He is not ready to pass the budget of department. I am working fifth time in budget."
Suraj asked with concern, "Why?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "Nobody knew. It's rumours this time CEO scolded every managers rudely."
Deep and Suman put their hands on Reena's both shoulders and gave corage, "Don't worry. Let's eat and increase your energy as you can do best."
Reena and their friends laughed and entered into restaurant. Suraj asked table at reception and told about call. The recipient told him to wait and after check in data of restaurant, she told him their table number.
They were relieved that that call was not scam but it's real. They didn't think so much and took steps towards table.
Suddenly, Reena heard a familiar voice, "Baby". She was shocked and thought it's her illusion but unsubconsciously, looked towards voice. When she looked he was standing infront of her and smiling, she took two steps back. And it's happened in one seconds.
Jitish stopped smiling but frowned to look at her taking two steps back after looking him. He imagined many possibilities but it was beyond of his imagination.
Meanwhile, her friends noticed it and Suraj and Nayan came between Jitish and Reena as protecting her. Looking at it, Jitish got angry. 'She was his then why other guys guarding her from him.'
He controlled his temper and called again, "Baby, I missed you. Don't you miss me?"
Her friends looked at her and Deep asked, "Do you know him?" Her friends knew she didn't like anyone called her by nickname.
After hearing Deep's voice, Reena came into her senses. She looked her friends and took deep breath. She said firmly, "I don't know him." then she looked at Jitish but avoided his eyes, "Mr, you have misunderstood me someone else."
After hearing it, Jitish lost his temper and said gritted his teeth, "Rita, if it was some joke, I can let it go once."
After hearing name, her friends ensured that the man who was standing infront of them had misunderstood Reena to someone else.
Nayan said polielty, "Mr, our friend really doesn't know you. You really have some misunderstanding."
Jitish didn't look and hear anyone else but he glared at Reena with burning eyes. Reena felt her body was burning but she couldn't say truth. Specially, in front of her friends.
After glaring her, he left with anger. Reena took deep breath but Suman held her arms tightly. Reena felt pain and looked towards Suman. Reena and Suman eyes met. Reena knew Suman didn't believe her. that's why Reena blinked at her and ensured her that she will tell her later.
Suraj broke the silence, "He left. Now, let's go to eat."
They all nodded because they were feeling awkward between them after that incident. Even, Jitish left but there was doubts in everyone's mind. Suraj, Deep and Nayan couldn't ask Reena directly untill Reena didn't feel comfortable to tell them. Afterall they were friends but they have boundaries between them as man and women. While Suman insisted Reena to tell her truth.
At last, they settled into table and gave ordered. It's Deep who broke the silence between them, "So tell, what's we miss about eachother? As Reena told that she is working fifth time on same budget."
It's Suman who gave reply first after that everyone forget about Jitish and enjoyed their meal. Reena was talking and laughing with her friends but her mind was somewhere else. She was feeling uncomfortable. She was thinking how she bumped with Jitish just now? As he was glaring her, she felt chill in her whole body. She only saw his soft side where he was not dangerous but now looking at him like it, she felt dangerous.
She knew she needed some time to think straightly that's why she decided to go washroom. After asking waiter where is washroom, she took steps towards washroom with absent minded. When she reached washroom, her eyes widened to look at him.
He noticed she finally reached, he raised his head and looked into her eyes. He noticed her panic look. He wanted to vent his anger on her but looking at her like it, he was helpless.
She looked away and took steps towards washroom bravely with reminder herself that he couldn't do anything to her.
But as she was going to enter washroom, he held her wrist and pulled her towards himself. He pressed her body on wall with his body. She shivered and opened her mouth, "Wh... what.. are... you... doing?"
She tried to pushed away with her both hands but he held her both hands with his one hand and pinned above her head and smirked while holding her chin with his other hand, "Baby, I know it's you. I don't know why you lied in front of your friends...."
She tried to break free herself from him but her strength was nothing in compare of his. When she noticed she couldn't break free from him, she opened her mouth, "Mr..."
But before she could say anything, he captured her lips with his. He didn't like how she was formal with him. He understood one thing she didn't want to tell her friends about them that's why he left after glaring her but it doesn't mean he missed that opportunity.
He kissed her fiercely. it was not kiss but punishment to leave him, to torture him and to not recognise him in front of her friends.
When he left her lips, she left her lips and tongue were numb. It felt her lips and tongue didn't belong to her. Her breath were heavy while her mind was not working properly. He looked at her flush look and was satisfied. but didn't forget to warn her, "Call me only by my name. If you use any formal name, I will kiss you again and again until you will be senseless."
She only blinked her eyes because her mouth was aching. He pressed her hard and asked gritted his teeth when he recalled something, "Tell me is anyone your boyfriend among three of them? If yes, I will kill him. Baby, I don't care what's your name but remember you are mine
.. only mine. If you cheat on me, there will be consequence. Remember it. I am going for now. But I will see you soon." After saying it, he kissed her again and left.
She left her body was burning from his touch and her lips and tongue were numb. She didn't know how she was feeling. It felt her mind was in mess.
She went into washroom and washed her face with cold water. When water touched her skin, she came into her senses what happened. It was really him but what he said, she was confused. They were not in relationship. and She didn't belong to someone. Didn't he enjoy dinner with someone else few days ago?
But it was not point. How can he give her warning? She felt goosebumps into her whole body. After calming down herself, she came out from washroom and went towards table.
Her friends asked her why she took time into washroom but she smiled and didn't say anything. And they didn't push further.
Suman came by her car that's why Suman dropped her into her apartment. During driving Suman noticed Reena was absent minded that's why she asked, "Reena, tell me you know him, right?"
Reena pursed her lips tightly and remembered his angry face and how he warned her. She knew Suman didn't let her go without telling her but she can't say truth that's why she decided to tell her half truth and half lie, "yeah, I know him."
Suman was confused that's why she asked further, "Then why he called you with wrong name? Reena, tell me everything. What's going on?"
Reena took deep breath, "It's not simple between us. We met in wrong place. Do you expect me to tell him my correct name? I thought we would never meet again." She closed her eyes and said with hardly, "I didn't know how we bumped to each other just now."
Suman had some understanding about it. But she didn't persuade Reena to tell her more. After thinking, Suman suggested, "Reena, He doesn't look like bad guy. I think he wants more. By the way, you are single. Why don't you try?"
Reena shook her head immediately, "No... Suman, I told you it's not simple between us. he may be not bad guy but it's better for us that we won't met again."
Suman argued, "Reena, I can't insist you but I can only suggest you. It's not good to avoid. why don't both of you sit and talk properly?"
Reena didn't say anything but pursed her lips more.
What she didn't know that a car was following their car. When Suman stopped the car in front of her apartment, Reena hugged her and said, "Good night."
Suman smiled, "Good night and take care yourself. If you have any problem, I am only one call away."
Reena nodded and got out from car. She went into building and unlocked her apartment. After closing the door behind herself, she took deep breath and asked, "Why did I meet him again? I don't want to meet him." The tears rolled down from her eyes.
After changing her clothes into pj. She climbed into her bed and her mind was filled with his warning. She was scared that she didn't know what to do. Then she recalled about club. She searched the club's number and dialled. After few rings, finally the call recived and she heard the voice, "Good evening madam, how can I help you?"
She took a deep breath and complained, "I registered your club few months ago and I met someone. I don't want continue any further but I met that person tonight. He gave me warning. what should I do?" She had tears into her eyes but she couldn't let it fall.
Other side, the recipient understood the seriousness and tried to calmed down her, "Madam, please calm down. Our club is made for help you. Definitely, we will help you. you don't need to worry. Give us some information as we can know what's going on."
Reena nodded and told the recipient that what she wanted to know. After knowing her name and his name, when she met him and other information, she said, "Madam, give us one day and we will call you back."
After talking, Reena felt some relief and nodded, "ok, I will wait for your call."
Then Reena disconnected the call and thought. Now, her mind was working properly. She knew he couldn't force her for anything. that's why she tried to sleep and laid on bed. but she couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning for one hour, she finally gave up idea to sleep and opened her laptop.
She thought what should she do then she opened the mail id which she specially created for that club.
When she sighed up, there was more than fifty mails and she was stunned. Every mail came from same mail id and she opened first mail which came more than seven months ago.
'Baby, where are you? Why is your mobile switched off? I am worried for you. call me back or reply me.'
She opened second... same but added few more lines. then she opened third, fourth and further. Every mail was same but she could notice his frustration, anger and concern in further mails.
She rubbed her temple. She didn't know he was stalker. It's not that she was first girl for him. He is rich and handsome then what's going on? She was more confused.
Other Side, Jitish didn't leave restaurant after it. How could he let go this opportunity that's why he waited when they left. He followed her till her apartment. Now, he knew where she lived. It's not hard to know any further about her.
He parked his car a side as he could see her building. He didn't know in which apartment she lived but he was not in hurry. He can know later. But it was necessary to think what to do in future. He didn't wait to hear her answer that she has boyfriend or not because he knew he will lose temper if she would answer what he had doubt. He didn't want to scare her more. He kissed her two times. In future, he will do more that's why he was not hurry.
He touched his lips by his fingers and smiled. 'Baby, just wait how will I punish you when you will be under me.'
He drove the car and came into his house. As he was going to lay, his mobile rang. When he saw the mobile screen, his eyes got dark. His friend didn't contact him since few months when he rejected his friend's offer to meet another girl and warned him not to call him.
But he attended the call and said lazily, "Hey"
He heard his friend's angry voice, "Jitish, tell me what did you do with her? Do you know she is scared?"
Jitish had doubt but he asked, "To whom are you talking?"
