First Hug

Kamiya's Pov

"So, shall we start? Before that I want you to cut your call," He smirked.

That's all, Kami. You are done, there is nobody to help you here.

You need to help yourself. Yes Kami, you have to deal with this yourself. I know you can.

"What call? What I have to cut?" I asked him muddled.

"Oh, Sorry. Did I say 'cut your call'? Oh No, I just want you to switch off your phone as I won't trust myself.

Since I was saying the same thing in the call before coming here. I think, I mistakenly told the same," He explained.

I smirked inwardly and told him with a blank face," No Problem Akhil, but I won't switch off my phone.

I thought you would have heard everything about me through Swetha. But I think, you don't know anything. I am not the person whom you can order around.

If you accept it or not, I don't care. I will do what I feel correct. Is It clear?"

"If you want, I will also switch off the mobile," Akhil said with a convincing look.

"I don't care. What you will do with your mobile? Akhil," I stated.

"It's Ok. You don't have to do anything. But if we are going to be in one team, I want you to cooperate with me," He told me with a blank look.

"First of all, you need to understand one thing, Akhil. I am not in your team yet. If I am also, I won't act on your command. You can suggest to me, I will decide what I need to do. Ok," I smirked.

"You also need to understand something, Kamiya. I am also not the person who will do whatever you say.

With or without you, I will do what I thought to do. Arjun was, is, and will be the loser. I will make sure of that," He smirked.

Now I feel like strangling him, but I can't even show my anger.

So I kept a straight face and asked, "Why are you doing this? What is your motive behind this?"

"I am not answerable to you. And you are nobody to me Mrs. Kamiya Arjun," He smiled smugly at me.

Kami, you can't let this go. Think something.

"Are you sure? You won't need my help in the future," I asked.

" Are you ready to help me?" He puts the question to my question.

" I will. If It helps me to get rid of this relationship, but as I said before, you can't rule me," I said.

" Ok, then I am not the dictator when it comes to you. Maybe, We can discuss and decide. Is it fine?" He asked.

" Fine," I said.

" At last," I cut him off and asked, "Now, tell me. Why are you against Arjun?"

"This is revenge, Kamiya," He uttered.

"But, For what?" I asked.

"He hurt my loved one in the past. That's all, I can say as far now," He declared.

" I want to know the full story," I stated.

"Let's save it for the future," He replied.

Ok, kami. You have to wait. You can't let it out in one go. You need to make them trust you first.

But who is that person? Why Arjun is going to hurt somebody? Did Arjun really hurt someone?

No, He can't. My Arjun can't do that. Don't think like that.

At the same time, " Kamiya," Akhil called me.

"Yes," I replied.

"Can I ask you one thing?" He asked.

Oh my god, what is he going to ask me? Whatever it is, you need to face it Kami.

Yes, I can.

"What?" I asked him.

"Can you call me 'Anna' hereafter?" He asked with a genuine smile.

I got shocked at this and asked, "Why?"

"I don't know. I felt like that. It's your wish," He stated.

Oh my gosh, It's very confusing. I don't know what to do?

Kami, let's relax. Anyway, you need to make them believe you right. So you grab this chance as far now. Ok. Let's think about it after some time.

"Ok Anna," I told him with a smile. I don't know why, but it came out as a true smile.

"So, What's our next move?" Swetha asked Akhil.

"Let him make a plan. We will plan according to that. So, We can take a rest for some time," He said with a sinister smile.

Now, I want to kill these people who are before me. Control Kami. Control Kami.

After that, We placed our order and had our coffee with some random talk. Later, We left the cafe and Swetha dropped me home at 6:45 pm.

I entered the room and get my phone out of the purse. The call with Karthick Anna is still going on.

"Anna," I called him.

"I am here, Kamiya," He told me.

"Ok then, wait Anna. I will put conference with Varsha and Ishu," I said and put conference with them.

After they attended the call, I introduced each other and told them everything which was happened in the cafe.

"Don't trust him, Kami. He is doing all this to make you do whatever he says," Ishu scowled.

"Don't confuse yourself, Kami. He is not the right person who deserved to be your brother. Ok," Varsha told.

"Yes, I know. I was just muddled before, but now I am alright," I told them.

"Is there is any past between Arjun and Akhil? Karthick. That we have to know," Varsha asked Karthick. She didn't call him 'Anna' because she won't call anybody with the relationship without knowing them fully. It's her habit.

"Yes, Anna. I too have that doubt as why Akhil has to take revenge on Arjun anna. Do you know anything?" Ishu too asked him.

"Arjun doesn't know Akhil till our college days. Akhil always tries to start a fight with Arjun whenever we met. Arjun also started to hate Akhil in the ensuing period. Likewise, there was always a clash between them in our college days.

Arjun started to ignore Akhil after completing our graduation. Then, Akhil too didn't disturb, but now only I got to know all his doing behind our back. I can't able to digest the fact that Swetha is cheating us," He explained.

"How are you sure that Arjun doesn't know Akhil before?" I asked him.

"Arjun and I are more close in our gang. He won't hide anything from me. That's why I am sure and also Arjun was confused that why Akhil was doing all this in the earlier period of their clash as he doesn't even know Akhil before," Karthick said.

"Then, we need to find out that person's name who got hurt by Arjun as per Akhil," Varsha said.

" I will try to know that in my next meet," I told them.

"Done," Varsha and Ishu told at the same time.

I smiled and asked, " Anna, Do you know when he will be returned back from the office?"

"What Kami? I think wife mode is on already," Ishu teased.

" Shut up Ishu. It's not like that," I uttered.

"You can expect him after 9:00 pm, Sis," He also told me with a teasing tone.

"Anna," I whined.

" Ok. Ok. Just for fun. I am getting a second call continuously. So, you guys carry on," He said.

" Ok Anna, bye," Ishu and I told at the same time.

"Bye. I will catch you guys later," He said and disconnected his call.

Then, I told them the breakfast scenario completely and my tears are starting to appear in my eyes.

" Kami, he would have told that divorce thing in his angry state. So, don't take it seriously," Ishu consoled.

"If it is serious also. You have 6 months to change his mind right," Varsha comforted me.

" Ok," I replied.

"I am not satisfied with this 'Ok' Kami," Ishu told.

"Who are you?" Varsha asked.

"Why are you asking this?" I asked.

"Answer my question first." She replied.

"Kamiya," I uttered.

" Yes, but not just Kamiya. You are my friend Kamiya who is bold, strong, didn't have fear of darkness, always wants to be adventurous and face anything with a cute smile," She said proudly.

I smiled at that and told," Yes, I am,"

" This is our Kamiya. Smile like this always," Ishu told.

" Eeeeeeeeeeeeee," I giggled.

"Oh my god, It's a good thing that we are not in a video call. Otherwise, I would have died by now," Varsha makes fun of me.

Likewise, we spoke for some time and ended the call.

AFTER 15 DAYS

Kamiya's Pov

I am getting ready for the Pooja(the act of worship) which is going to happen today as per the priest's words whom Ramya Aththai and Amma met last week in the temple and he told them to do this pooja for a newly married couple to live happily.

I trust God, but don't trust these things and all. However, I am doing this pooja for elders.

From the breakfast scenario, Arjun is ignoring me everywhere. Though It hurt, I am not showing my feelings to him. I am facing all this with a smile as my friends told me.

In the past days, the only good thing which I heard is my friends are going to come tomorrow and I am eagerly waiting for them. Plus, I am going to start my office in Coimbatore from coming Monday which is 6 days from now.

I wore a grey color designer saree with matching earrings and prime myself with eyeliner, Kajal, and lip gloss. That's all, I am ready.

It's already 6:00 pm, Pooja is going to start at 6:30 pm. So I went down and started to help Amma and Aththai in the Pooja room.

Daddy and Prakash mama also helping us in arranging things. Patti is sitting here and guiding us throughout the arrangement.

Arjun, Karthick Anna, Dharani, and Swetha are having coffee in the hall while watching TV. Anitha didn't come today as she is going to meet a person whom her parents chose as her life partner.

When I was arranging the things, suddenly I felt some hotness in my back. I turned and aghast as my end of the pallu is on fire.

Immediately from nowhere, Arjun came and removed my saree fully. Subsequently, I hugged him as I am scared and also I don't want anybody to see me in this state. Arjun too hugged me back.

Patti asked me" Are you hurt anywhere Kamiya?" I shook my head without facing her and kept my head in his chest.

I don't know why, but I am feeling secure in his arms.

" Ok then, We all will wait in the hall. Sumathi get her some saree to wear it," Patti stated.

After some time, When I actualized our position that I am hugging him tightly and his hands are around my bare waist. I moved straight away and turned my back to him.

"Here. As for now, wear my shirt," Arjun puts his shirt on my shoulder. I wore the shirt and said, " I am sorry,"

" Why are you being sorry now?" He asked me and I am very happy that he speaks to me after 15 days.

"That.... that I hug.... hugged you because... because," When I am trying to complete my sentence.

He cuts me off and said, "I can understand"

I smiled and said, "And also thanks,"

"No Problem," He replied. Then, there was complete silence and I thought he also went outside.

"Oh my god, I want my first hug to be more special than this, but it happened like this," I thought.

In a flash, Arjun turned me to face him and his hands holding my arm.

"You didn't go outside," I appalled at him.

"Is this your first hug?" He asked.

Did I say that aloud? How can you be stupid? Kami.

"Tell me," He pressurized his words and also my arms.

"Yes, Leave my hands, Arjun. It's paining," I replied.

He is stunned there after hearing my reply.

" Why are you surprised at this Arjun? Do I look like a girl who hugs everybody? Of course, It will be my first as I don't have a boyfriend before and also I didn't hug anybody other than my daddy before.

Wait. Wait. Did you have a girlfriend in the past?

Are you a Virgin?" I asked him.

He gulped at my question, "I...I.."
