Trained To Kill.... An LNMDJ FF (Part 3 Pg 43) - Page 21

He had ice cold walls of hatred around him, hatred for normal people with normal lives. He didn't hate them because he was jealous but because they knew nothing about the cruelties of the world and yet left no chance to mock upon. He had a fire in his eyes, a deep fire, of revenge and hatred which blinded him for seeing anything other than what his focus was. He didn't live life because he wanted to but because he had a reason to live, he carried himself with dignity not because he was arrogant or was full of attitude but because he was a self made man. He had his ideologies for life and got on with them. He was heartless they all said as no matter how hard the tears were shedding in front of him he could go without a second glance, he could walk away without a trace of fear in him in between from a riot. Emotions like love, happiness, fear, grief did not exist in him or at least they said it didn't.

But no one knew that after all like every person even Prithvi had a heart, a golden one to be frank. But he didn't trust anyone, at least no one as yet on the face of earth to show that he had one. Because he had his own set of insecurities and fears and he believed that none was there who could be good enough to not make fun and use those as against him. In short he was scared, scared to be used and then left alone like he was 16 years back. The event itself renewed so much strength and fire in him that he forgot that he ever had weaknesses. He had an 'I don't care' attitude towards unrelated people that shoved them away even before they could come in the viewing distance so he never knew about the effect he had on anyone who would have seen him coming out of the pool shirtless, let alone a girl who was staring at him as if giving him a second glance to see if he fit the bar for her husband but couldn't approve as yet and became annoyed on receiving a blank signal from his end.

But he definitely cared for the girl, who stood angrily, but yet pouting cutely, her face turned away from him, arms crossed on her chest, and she was waiting for him. "5 minutes late" she muttered under her breath as she neared her and Prithvi could give nothing as an excuse to her. He turned her by the shoulder and then held her chin in his palm and made her face him, she looked at him hopefully and he held his ears in a cute sorry pose. She smiled a little but then turned away fully, anyone could have been confused by her behavior but not Prithvi, he may not know anything about getting his way with a girl but with her he was a master in that. He shook his head a little on her childish act and then tied the necklace around her neck, and her smile widened, she turned sharply and swiftly kissed his cheek and then hugged him tightly "I love you Prithvi" she said wide a smile of contentment on her face and her eyes closed in pleasure.

Prithvi felt something hitch as he hugged her back, he never knew what happened to his heartless personality when she was with him. "This is the only way to keep her happy forever" his inner voice told himself and he kept her close just to get rid of any negative thoughts at the moment, her happiness meant more than the world to him and he would do anything and everything for her even if that meant saying those 3 words for her about which he never thought he felt for someone, yet saying them to her never seemed wrong as he always felt something when he said those to her. "main bhi tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon, so never leave me" he said hugging her tightly and she giggled at his childish behavior, "Prithvi" she said after a while "hmmm" he said still not opening his eyes to the cruel world from which he was far away at the moment "wear a shirt" she said poking his bare chest and chuckled as he suddenly moved back and turned, moving him by the shoulder she gave him a shirt and pulled his cheeks as he thanked her. She bid him goodbye as it was time for her to return home.

The girl always made him feel very normal and like others, he thought. Normal, it was a rarely used word in his vocabulary. He wore his shirt and waited for his victims at the spot, his to be first victims in his line of job. First, one would laugh if he had seen the 24*7 available grave expressions on his face and Prithvi would have told him that they were the first people he was set to murder in a 3 month's time, no wonder Prithvi was great in masking his innocence that would have made him look vulnerable. Despite being the most wanted criminal who did anything but legal work's so called right hand and best man, Prithvi had never himself done a crime. He had always been kept aside from all this as he had to study, train himself so that he could give a name to them for doing their work beneath it. Prithvi did not like all this but being used to it from his childhood Prithvi did not ever object these crimes. And now his silence had prevailed baba to make him do this job, Prithvi sighed to himself and looked at the faraway darkness as it engulfed around the sky slowly.

Damini, Inder, Savni and Varni reached the place where they were supposed to meet HIM, the very mention made Damini irritated. And this did not go unnoticed by any of them as Roshni and Sameer sniggered and hi5ed each other giving 'now he'll know who he is messing with look' Damini saw this once and glared stopping them at once. Inder was viewing this entertainment show from behind and felt sad for not being able to enjoy it again "if only Prithvi does his work properly" he muttered under his breath but Damini's sharp ear didn't miss it. "kya kaha tumne?" she asked eyeing with a suspicious look at him "who...who..kuch nahi" and then he smiled a little on seeing someone "who main yeh keh raha tha ke who raha Prithvi, tumaara naya bodyguard" he said pointing at a man who was looking away, his hands in his pockets and just then his phone rang and Inder excused himself. Roshni gasped for the second time this day and this infuriated Varun to no extent. And Damini noticed him too, she somehow felt she had seen that person before and hence went forward to look closely at him, whereas the others thought that she had already figured out a way to fire him and stayed back.

Yeah he was the same, Damini told herself as she went a little nearer. He was the same arrogant guy who had not spared her a second look when he had come out. No one ignored Damini Gujral, all especially men bowed down with respect on the very sight of her and here he was not even bothered to turn and face her. 'Maybe he is a coward and afraid to face me' Damini smiled mischievously and walked towards him to scare him out of his wits. Well if he seemed eye catching from viewable distance then he was surely something conspicuous for anyone from the opposite sex. 'But was he of the same material inside or this was just for outside show? ', this question puzzled and she decided to talk to him for the clearing of her doubts.

But it was very annoying she told herself, as even when she was standing just 2 feet away, he didn't bother or maybe was petrified to face her. But on second thoughts it wasn't fear but he was lost somewhere, maybe in preparing to face her he hadn't noticed that she was standing just beside him. But even after standing for 2 minutes he hadn't noticed her presence at all as if she was just a flash of lightning which never existed in real. She was now very annoyed at the lack of attention from him again and again, "excuse me Mr. attitude" she finally said putting a foot down and trying to break the ice. But it wasn't enough as he still didn't respond and this was a test to her patience 'he is not worth your anger Damini' she told herself calming and trying again "Mr. Prithvi" she said curtly and he turned to face her for a second. Their eyes met, and she couldn't see anything but darkness in them which for a second shocked her. He surprised her again, like everyone else he did not even look anywhere except into her eyes as if hypnotizing her let alone scrutinizing her from top to toe like other men. But then he turned back as quickly as he had turned breaking their short and sparking eye lock and bringing her out of the effect.

He had lost his thoughts when he had looked into those eyes, as good as pearls they were with a hint of warmth in them, which though only people who could probably read faces would see as she had also masked them with ice coldness. She seemed like him, fearless and certainly with a load full of self respect as she had the guts to stare straight in his intense gaze. He thought that if he looked for more time she would have blinded him. But he was back in a second to himself, strong and ready to kill.

Now this was the last straw for Damini, she moved in front of him but he averted her eyes and turned his face other way. "Excuse me Mr. Prithvi" she finally said rudely and pushed off the wrong button "Yes miss?" he replied in the same tone still not looking at her "Miss Damini Gujral" she informed him, but he was anything but shocked "So?" he said. "Well I am your new employer" she told him thinking that now he would get frightened "then you have come to the wrong person as I was told that I would be working for Mr. Inder Malhotra" he continued avoiding her gaze which was stuck on his eyes and he could feel it. She raised her eyebrows in disappointment, this man was going to be so dead once he found out "yeah I have come with him only" she told him "then tell him that I would not talk to his P.A. for this, he said I would meet him here and so I am only interested in meeting him" he continued the ramble gamble game in the same tone she had started "well first of all I am his sister, and secondly are you scared of facing me?" oh! She touched the wrong nerve there. He turned to face her, boring his spooky eyes into hers and spoke "that doesn't change things either, I am still only interested in meeting him. And scared from you would be the last thing to happen to me" he said curtly and then turned away.

This girl was certainly touching him in the wrong places for sure, first of all her presence was irking him by each passing minute and then her attitude was just icing to the cake. "Then why are you not looking at me?" she finally blurted out unable to bear the cold response from him. He looked in her eyes and brought his face close to her creeping her out "because......I....Am......Not interested" he said with the same cold manner and then moved back leaving her shocked. 'He was going to be so dead when he came to work for her' she noted in her mind preparing herself to give him a 3^rd degree when he joined work.

But before the fight could work ahead, Inder intervened sidelining Damini. This was too much, first this Prithvi and then Inder too. Now Damini could blast off any moment, and this would create a good scene. Knowing this Avni and Varun came to the public's rescue and calmed her down, now all were standing there looking and hearing the conversation the two men were having. Inder was trying to be a little courteous by asking him about what all he did and all but from his short and clear cut replies one could say that Prithvi hardly believed in these show of formalities. Finally Inder realized this and stopped his good for nothing bantering and moved to introductions.

He was introduced to all of them one by one, getting and returning curt hello's from all except Roshni who seemed quite awestruck by him. But he didn't even spare her from one, only to leave her muttering "angry young man, I like it" which further aggravated Varun who gave an extra rude hello, only to be nudged by Roshni. Finally came the turn of Damini and Inder spoke "yahi hai Damini, jiske aaj se tum bodyguard ho" Inder said and Damini gave him a "now let the game begin" look and only got one "we will see who wins" from him back. While they were glaring at each other Inder took hold of their hands and gave them into one another. They looked at their hands entwined, her soft palm protected by his stiff ones and then their eyes met which only greatened the amount of shock in their respective spines.

Hurriedly moving his hand back a little curtly Prithvi looked wordlessly at her and then composing himself turned to Inder and moved his hand forward "aapse toh maine haath hi nahi milaya, aakhir aap hi toh hain jinke kaaran mujhe job mila hai" he said in twofold denotation tone, the second one was only understood by Inder whose face grew grave and then he reluctantly put his hand in Prithvi's which was death gripped by him as if Prithvi would not even leave the pulp of his palm if he could. Roshni sniggered at his plight, and Sameer too grinned seeing that, Varun looked anywhere but at them and Avni was sympathizing with poor Inder at the moment. Finally when Inder was able to manage his hand out Prithvi said "yeh humaari employer-employee relationship ke liye tha" he again used the double meaning tone with and Inder understood and mutely nodded.

Now who is this mystery girl in prithvi's life??

what are prithvi and inder planning?
