To tear-off your dirty mask ✔

part 26

The promo scene is yet to happen. So this is how I planned this story. Moreover, annika is still not changed. She has the same cold approach to people which needs to change. In short, her dirty mask is not torn off yet. If she remained the same they are not going to live a peaceful life!

Happy reading 📖

' shivaay are you at home? Actually, annika was alone there'

Harsh enquired as it was getting late and he could not make it to home due to the lined up meetings

' ha.. Dad I am here only'

Shivaay told with a smile on his face as he stepped inside Trivedi mansion

' I will be late today. I have some meetings to attend. And haa..Don't wait for me. I will eat from here.'

'Ah okey!'

' I had great news for you. Did annika talk with you'

Harsh asked as stepped out of his cabin to be present in the meeting hall. Happiness could easily find in his tone

'no, she didn't'

Shivaay wondered what the good news could be

'I'll tell you later. I gotta go now'

' fine. I will wait '

With that, they ended the talk. He walked towards annika as soon as found her sitting in the hall being engrossed in another world.

' I was waiting for you. Why didn't you come there'

He asked calmly when stood beside her. She stood up as soon as sensed his presence beside her. Her breaths were in a fast pace, her eyes were reddish, and tears had formed in her eyes out of anger. She did not wait to rush. All of a sudden, her feet tangled with the chair and lost her balance he was quick to hold her hand. She hissed as his tight grip hurts her wound. He was concerned and pulled her before letting her stand straight. The blood-clotted wound on her hand made him worried....

'How did it happen. Why didn't you even dress this'

His concern-filled voice made her laugh sarcastically in mind. She didn't let him touch her when he tried to hold her hand once again. As he looked up at her, the fire in her eyes made him suspicious. She didn't care to give him an explanation before heading ahead. He was frustrated due to her behavior. the next he did was block her way and expressed his anger. He had a level of patience though

' tell me what happened. I am not going to spare you now. Everything seemed ok when you called me. Now, what did I do? You wanted to talk to me right? Come, let's talk'

Giving him deaf ears she tried to move. She pushed him away when he repeated to block her way

' at least take care of your wound'

He told as held her hand before she could go. Obviously, she considered it as his fake concern and it turned her vulnerable. She jerked his hand and rushed before he could do something

' you are insane '

He shouted from behind while his eyes became tearful. Her changing behavior was no longer acceptable for sure

The day went by. Annika didn't even come to have dinner. She stayed in the room. He had called her several times but she did not bother to open the door. He was also not in a mood to eat either

The next day when class was over, bhavya was chit-chatting with her friends in the corridor. Annika watched her from afar with a frightful smirk on her face, something evil was running through her mind. She composed herself before heading toward the crowd, a fake sweet smile could be seen on her lips. As usual, bhavya tried to escape as soon as annika approached.
