Enigmatic Darkness

Chapter 8 - In Your Arms

The wind blew and fog hugged her. Hesitantly, she turned around and as expected he was standing glaring her. She gulped seeing the darkness in his eyes.

His dangerous look gave her the feeling of another round of blazing from his side. She closed her eyes and gathered her courage to face him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't wish to come here but was forced to. Misha forget her invitation card so I have to come. I'm going back anyway." Piya managed to say in neutral tone but only she knew what she was feeling on standing in front of him right after ignoring his words

He didn't speak. His eyes kept on looking at her. She looked down and bit her lips in nervousness. She eyed him with lowered eyelashes.

She looked adorable in her nervousness and it made him feel something, he didn't wish to. He looked away immediately.

She stepped aside and walked past him. He turned around and watched her going with heaviness.

She started to walk out while he watched her going. She was just about to step out from party premises when Kabir came in her way.

"Hey Piya, you here, what a surprise!" Kabir grinned

Piya was startled to see him. She had to leave somehow.

"You are going back? Why?" Kabir asked suddenly realising in which direction she was going

Kabir, soon noticed Abhay observing them from distance.

"Did he say you something?" Kabir asked angrily

Piya jerked towards him and noticed him pointing towards Abhay. Before she could comprehend, Kabir marched towards Abhay without waiting for her reply.

"How dare you to insult Piya?" Kabir held Abhay's collar

"What?" Piya gasped in shock understanding how Kabir derived his own meaning behind the scene without thinking

What's wrong with this guy?
She quickly ran to Abhay so Kabir won't hurt him in his madness.

Abhay stood calmly. He gripped his hand, looking directly in his eyes with coldness. He pulled away Kabir's hands from his collar and straightened his shirt.

"Next time..... don't even try" Abhay spoke in low tone with an ambiance of danger

"Why? What will you do?" Kabir gritted in anger

"Stop it, Kabir!" Piya shouted, gaining Kabir's attention

"Why Piya? He insulted you and you are saying leave him, why?" Kabir looked at her with accusations

"That is because he didn't..." Piya was going to clarify when Haseena came distracting them

"What's happening here?" Haseena asked with pleasant smile

Feeling the authority in her voice and an unmatchable grace with attitude as Abhay but much softer, Piya knew in an instant that she might be Abhay's mother.

Piya looked away not wanting her to know about Kabir's stupidity. Besides, she was standing in their territory without invitation. It was a bad idea to come here at first place!

"Nothing aunty" Piya forced a smile to avoid disaster due to Kabir's stupidity but well the guy was on roll and there was no stopping to him

"yeah Nothing just your son insulted my friend" Kabir said angrily much to Piya's distaste

Piya closed her eyes, exasperated by the Kabir's authority. He was blaming the son of host for an uninvited guest that too without reason! Superb!
