C6 Chapter 5

Utkarsh Pov

There were so many things which I wanted to ask her but nothing came out of my lips. I was watching her tearing up unable to do anything like an imbecile and for the first time in my life, I felt guilt - guilt of not able to console her. I was staring at her tear stricken eyes like a lost person and then I felt a presence beside me. My father came laying his hand on my shoulder and beckoned me to move inside the study room. I instantly understood the matter was serious and there is more I need to know. I followed him still looking at her mournful eyes unable to understand why my happy world is suddenly reduced to a clinker? Who ever had done this is surely going to pay for it.

A few hours later....

All my reflexes were confirmed when I came to know through my detective Sam that uncle Anand's attempt to murder was planned by Robert. That scoundrel had been under my records since the time he tried to intrude into our family business. I took every step to protect our families since then but somehow the rascal happened to slip out of my security and everything went upside down. One thing which still leaves me confused is what does Anand Uncle want to talk to me? Is there anything still left in this catastrophe which I had to know?

Later that night.....

All of us were having dinner. Ana was reticent giving answers in monosyllables. There was hardly a spoonful of rice which went into her mouth. Mom noticed it too and tried to intercede. Dad tried to distract her cracking some stupid jokes but nothing seems to bring her out of the gloomy state. I clench my hands to fists feeling the insurgent anger occupying every iota of my soul. Robert you did a mistake for ruffling my feathers. I spare no one who meddles with my family. Enjoy your life till the day I reach you.

I know Ana's father's illness is disturbing her and it is apparent that he is spending his last days on earth. The matters about her mother are still unclear and among all the thought that is daunting me is I am supposed to meet Anand uncle tomorrow.

What could be the mysterious information he wanted to share with me, that dad didn't know? My anxiety goes blanching me.

I alerted my security, as soon as I heard the distressing news about Uncle Anand. Ana is my primary responsibility and I can do anything to protect her. I put my whole security team behind her. Of course she does not know about any of the vicious things happening in our family. Ana is innocent, an angel who doesn't know about the wickedness of this barbarous world and I will do anything in my power to protect her stay stainless.

It was already late in the night. I made a series of phone calls to alert my detective team on further investigation and was working on my laptop when there was a knock at the door. I quickly got up from my bed ticking a revolver in my pant pocket and cautiously opened the door of my room to check upon the person.

Ana was holding a glass of milk and her eyes quickly gaze the room landing them ultimately on me. I held her arm and pulled her towards me closing the door behind her. "What were you trying to search in my room, that if I could be hiding some minions inside like an underworld don or a mafia agent?" I tried to tease her mushy. "I am much more matured than do such childish feats in front of a little girl like you." I sounded a little jovial to lighten her mood by pulling her cheeks.

She locked her eyes with mine and gazed at me with an unbound love and that was my last grip to go off the deep end. Circling my hand on her slim waist I brought her closer holding her sight. Her soft breasts collided with my muscular chest rising a lecherous sensation. Absorbed in a stupor my hand slowly went to her soft cheeks caressing them with my thumb. "I can't stand you crying doll." I whispered pouring out my warmth and my eyes involuntarily moved from her eyes to her glossy pink lips.

My heart was drumming into my chest and I could feel her doing the same. Resisting more was beyond my capacity. In a swift action cupping one of her cheeks in my hands I kissed the other in an uncontrollable fervour. She stilled for a second but composed herself within a matter of seconds with a slight smile playing on her lips. Desire was evident in her eyes. "Doll" my voice came out muffled "tomorrow we are going to the hospital to see your father. Be ready at 9." She nodded and was about to move to the door but I stopped as I couldn't get enough of her. Laying a hand on her slender waist I brought her closer to me and pulled her into an ebullient hug.

It was a welcoming feeling of tranquillity, a place I cherish to live forever in my life - my absolute abode.
