Part 2

 

As the door opened by one of the servants here, I entered inside with slow steps. I was looking around at the mansion. It was so huge than my imagination and beautiful too. Everything was there screaming about the class and the amount that had spent on each thing. I was broke out from my staring session by that servant who told me that our Khadoos boss is in study and waiting for me. He then showed me the way towards his study room.

 

My heart was beating so fast with the growing nervousness inside me by the each step I took. I know why he asked me to come here and that's why I had set my mind to be just professional and not give into his charm and losing my heart again. I knocked on the door with shaking hands, after reaching there.

 

"Come in." I heard his reply in the huskiest way which made me gulp hard. Slowly I entered inside and looked him sitting on the chair and engrossed in reading a file. I walked towards the table and stood there, silently.

 

"Good morning, sir." I spoke in professional tone then only he looked up at me with something deep in his eyes which I couldn't understand.

 

"On time... Impressive!!!" he said in bossy tone raising his one brow. I rolled my eyes on his remark.

 

"Shall we start the work for which you have called me here?" I asked annoyed.

 

"Sure."

 

I sat on the chair in front of him and start to prepare a presentation. My full focus on my work and I was doing it well but he was intentionally pointing out my mistakes, asking for files which were actually kept on his side of table, to just irritate me. I could feel he was just pretending to be taking interest in, but the fact is he was just gazing at me and doing all this to get my reaction but I m also not going to lose my temper Mr. Khadoos Singhania'.

It's been 2 hours we were working, actually only I was working he was just annoying me when suddenly he asked me to make a coffee for him. I was confused why he asking ME for this, we are not in office where he always asks for it, but it's his house where he should ask to his servant.

 

"They all are on leave." He said reading my mind but this made me more confused that they were here when I have come then how's this possible but then something strikes me I understood it's his entire plan to give them leave so we will be alone in his house.

 

"Sure, sir." I said with blank face and left the room to make coffee for him.

I entered in study room with a mug of coffee for him in my hands and kept it in front of him on the table. I was shocked when he starts sipping it without even thanking me. Where have your etiquettes gone, Mr. Richie Rich?' I cursed him in my mind but shrugging it, was about to sit again when his voice stopped me.

 

"This is not good... made another one." He ordered this time.

 

My eyes went wide registering his words. He is saying the coffee is not good; he didn't even complaint about it before when I used to make coffee for him in office. With so much difficulty, searching all the needed things I made it and he rejected it. I very well know he is doing this purposely and honestly, I am highly pissed off by now but somehow controlled myself to not to shout and left from there to follow his order.

I was standing in the kitchen and making another COFFEE' when an idea struck in my mind and an evil grin formed on my lips thinking about to take a revenge'. I poured the coffee in mug and searched the shelves for the salt jar and taking it out I was about to mix it in coffee, when someone held my hand from behind. My breath stuck in my throat knowing it was him and I was caught red-handed.

 

"This is very harmful shekhawat, to put salt in your BOSS' coffee." He whispered in my ear. A shiver ran down in my veins with his close proximity along with creating desires in me to be in his arms. He starts nuzzling his nose behind my ear as he wrapped his arms around my waist leaving my hand. My eyes went closed as again I was losing myself in his touch. He very well knew how to melt me and he is doing it well.

 

"What are you doing Taani..? He is tricking you in his charm..? Don't fall in his trap...!" my subconscious mind shouted at me which jerked me out from my dazed state and realized what I was doing. I hurriedly freed myself from his grip and turning around I glared at him for playing his games with me before marching towards hall.

 

"Taani, don't go..." I heard him as he coming behind me when I was about to leave his house. I don't want to be here for a second because I know if I will, then it will be hard for me to control myself.

 

"Please listen to me once..." he requested but I was so much hurt and tired of his dominating nature that I had made my mind that we can't be together, thus I didn't stop but his next words froze me on my place.

 

"I m Sorry.."

 

I was in utter shock. He said SORRY... to me. It never happened before. He never said sorry to anyone but what shocked me most was his low broken voice, there was a pain in his voice which forced me to turn around. The sight shocked me the most... he was standing there with moist eyes along with pain and fear on his face.

 

"I m sorry Taani.. I know I have hurt you a lot but trust me I really love you so much. I can't even think my life without you." He said in broken and painful voice. I immediately walked towards him and cupped his face in my palms. I know he loves me a lot and always behaves like he owns me but I have never seen him like this before. He kept his hands on my hands and closed his eyes as if observing my touch.

 

"Rey.." I called him. I was so worried for him and after sometime he opened his eyes and looked at me.

 

"I know I behaved like a totally jerk but just because I was so afraid... afraid to lose you. Every person in my life whom I love will go away leaving me alone and I don't want you too do the same." He finally let out his fear of losing his loved once which is inside him don't know from how long. I looked at him confused that why he even thinks like this, that I will leave him.

 

He took me towards the couch holding my hand and made me sit there and he knelt down on floor in front of me. Holing my hands in his he took a deep breath before starting to say.

 

"I was 17, when my dad had passed away, while driving in drunken state. After that my mom was so much broken and went in depression because she couldn't able to bear the shock of his death. I was left alone. No one was there for me to handle me, support me. But that time I have to handle myself by own to take care of mom along with dad's business which was on verge to falling down as my dad has lost so many contracts from his hands and he was in so much debts, that was the reason why he drown himself in alcohol."

 

"I started working along with my studies. After so much hard work finally I built up again our once crashed business. My dad had always dreamt to see me a more successful businessman than him and I become ONE, but I lost the only person left in my life whom I love the most... my Mom. Her condition was getting worse every day and I was can't able to do anything to make her fine. My all attempts failed and after 3 years of going through that pain she also left me... alone." He poured out his pain which he had kept hidden inside his heart. Tears were streaming down from his eyes as well as mine. I was so shocked that behind this hardcore and rude businessman's image he had hid his pain.

 

"No one was there for me whom I claim as mine, no one was beside me. Then you came in my life like a ray of hope. The most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You were different from other girls, those who always wanted to get close to me just because of my money and fame. But you never cared about my status and me being your boss. You always fought back with me." He said as he wiped my tears with his thumbs, I did the same. There was a small smile was playing on his lips as he was talking about me.

 

"From start, I was impressed with your hard work, efficiency and dedication in your work but never praised you for that. Don't know why, but I always like to irritate you and when you get annoyed you look more beautiful with this tiny nose of yours went red." He said with teasing glint in his eyes. I frowned at this which made him chuckled at me but I felt happy that I m the person with whom he had shared his grief.

 

"I had realized a long ago that I love you but didn't accept it because of my fears but also couldn't able to control myself to come close to you when I had seen the same feelings in your eyes too." He spoke looking in my eyes.

 

"I love you Taani... I really do..." he confessed with seriousness in his tone as he cupped my face with his palms. "Mom dad ke baad sirf tum hi ho jisse main itna pyaar karta hoon. Tumhare sath bitaya hua har ek moment mere liye bahut special hai. Main apni puri life tumhare sath jeena chahta hoon. I always wanted to see you happy...but because of my fears and insecurities I always behaved like a jealous freak and hurt you. Mujhe hamesha darr lagta tha ki koi tumhe mujhse dur na kar de, bas isiliye tum par control karna shuru kar diya maine... but bhul gaya tha ki kisi ko jabardasti bandh kar nahi rakha ja sakta and that's why I lost you." His eyes beamed with tears as he said last words and lowered his head.

 

"Give me the last chance, Taani... I promise I will change myself... tum jaisa kahogi main bilkul waisa karunga, bas sirf ek chance..." he said desperately looking up into my eyes. There was a hope in his eyes for positive answer, thinking that we can be getting back together.
