Chapter 5 ) Beauty's Pain

• "Jerk go to hell", Pashika almost shouted at him and When she was about to close the door, suddenly he spoke a word that made her freeze at her spot.
• "NEIL"
• A man who was standing at Pashika's door spoke. He had deep hazel eyes and then he said and Pashika stood still at her place.
• "What?", Pashika stammered confusedly.
• "Hi !! I am NEIL. NEIL KHANNA", Neil said and smiled at her but Pashika was shocked and absent-mindedly whispered 'Dadda' as she remembered her father.
• Neil simply smiled at her and Pashika's mind stopped functioning due to this name.
• Suddenly Neil said, "YOU'RE CUTE, like bubbles".
• "What the? Get out", Pashika spoke angrily and closed the door in his face.
• Pashika hid herself under the blanket and asked herself, "Who was He? NEIL KHANNA? Neil is my father's name".
• Pashika thought and tears welled up in her eyes. She was weak because she was missing her parents. For her, there were no festivals. no holidays and no celebrations. She was in pain. Her parents were a very sensitive matter for her and now that man also shared the same Hazel eyes as her father.
• 'NEIL'
• Pashika fell asleep and when she woke up she felt like she was locked inside a freezer. Pashika was feeling very cold. Her body was freezing due to the cold. Cold, cough, and fevers were her seasonal friends.
• Pashika sighed loudly.
• Her head was hurting like hell after crying. She fell asleep while thinking of that hazel orb man, Neil. Pashika thought of everything that happened in the afternoon.
• "Who was that man? Why did he come to my house?", Pashika shook her head and went to the cafe.
• ***
• At the cafe:-
• When Pashika entered the cafe, Her colleagues told her that someone was waiting for her.
• Pashika didn't think much and went to the backside of the cafe. When she stood before two pairs of scorching eyes.
• Pashika glared at those two men because her first experience with both of them wasn't good to her liking.
• One was the same angry man and the other one was the Hazel eyes man. Both of them were together and gave an uneasy feeling to her.
• But Pashika must have said that she didn't get any creepy or negative vibes from HAZEL EYES MAN.
• But Pashika couldn't lower her guard down. She couldn't forget her mistakes and the pain that was still throbbing in her bones.
• "Don't get scared and ask confidently", Pashika thought and asked, "Sir! How can I help you?"
• ARJUN and NEIL, both of them were watching her silently. Without saying anything they were looking at her with a blank face. And now, it was getting creepy.
• "I'll poke out their eyes. Control Shikoo, Control your temper. They're customers so behave okay because you need this job", Pashika murmured under her breath.
• Suddenly both of them blasted into loud laughter and tears started to form in their eyes.
• Pashika was fully irritated now and seeing them laughing was getting on her nerves.
• And at last, she blasted them, "Why the hell are you laughing like an idiot?"
• Both of them became silent after seeing Pashika's angry reaction.
• "What?", Pashika asked in an angry tone.
• "Nothing! You are blabbering to yourself", Neil said breaking the awkward silent moment.
• "Huh? What are you saying?", Pashika asked confusedly and then Neil cleared her confusion and said - 'She talked very loudly and they heard her properly"
• Now it was her time to get embarrassed. Her cheeks were reddened now.
• ….
• ARJUN's POV:-
• When NEIL entered my cabin, he saw a file named PASHIKA SINHA.
• He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is she your deep brown eyes, mystery girl?"
• I simply smiled and my smile gave him the answer.
• Neil read the file, saw the picture of her and said that I had chosen a beautiful person. Now it was my turn to raise my eyebrows.
• Neil said that he saw Pashika two or three times at the orphanage's school and the owner of the orphanage is NEIL.
• Then Neil asked about Pashika to the other members of the orphanage and they said that 'she was a wonderful and hardworking person'
• I was smiling like an idiot. Neil also told me that one time Pashika also helped him. She was a very intelligent and kind-hearted girl and he instantly liked her.
• I smiled and then suddenly Neil told me that he wanted to meet her. I gave her address to him and When he came back from her home. he told me everything. About her reaction too.
• How she whispered Dadda! It broke my heart.
• Neil told me that he heard her sobbing and it affected him. Then we made a plan to meet her at the cafe on her next shift.
• And now here we are.
• End of POV:-
• ….
• Arjun and Neil were simply observing her and how she was babbling to herself. She thought that she was talking in her mind but her words were loud enough for them to hear.
• "My Jaan is very feisty. Hmmm, very interesting. But she yelled at us and called us an idiot. No Jaan! wrong words and I will discipline you", Arjun thought and His expression was clear that Neil was bewildered to see him glaring at the glass of water.
• Neil nudged him to remind him to control his beast at the moment.
• After a long silent staring competition, Neil started the conversation with his introduction..
• "Hi! I am Neil Khanna, Co-CEO of K&K Corporation and he is my bestie. My brother and my business partner too. None other than India's most eligible bachelor and great business tycoon ARJUN KASHYAP", Neil spoke and At that moment Arjun mentally cursed Neil for this kind of awkward introduction.
• Arjun glared at Neil who rolled his eyes.
• Arjun was angry because it was his turn to introduce himself in his beastly style to his Jaan but Neil took his chance from him.
• Pashika listened to Neil and She simply stared at them and finally asked, "So what can I do?"
• After seeing her cold reaction towards himself. Arjun lost his temper and grabbed her wrist tightly.
• Arjun directly looked into her eyes and told her, "You are MINE. Remember this You are My Jaan"
• Suddenly Arjun heard a grasp behind his back and knew Neil was holding him back.
• Arjun was staring at Pashika and Pashika was scared. He blinked, and Arjun got a tight slap on his cheek.
• That slap was enough to trigger his beast to wake up and he marched towards her.
• Holding her waist tightly with both hands, Arjun made deadly eye contact with Pashika's teary eyes and told her, "I like You and You are Mine. I liked you from the moment I saw you in the rain at the accident spot".
