Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes … just be an illusion. – Javan
Next day At ETF
Riya, Sree, and Chotu are sitting inside the conference room and it is quarter to 9.00 AM. So others have not accompanied them. Sree is glaring at Riya because of her he had to reach the office prior to everyone, precisely the second-in-command of the ETF.
"Give me the pen drive which has all the details!" Riya asked him so calmly as, if his glaring does not impact her not even to a bit.
"If Arjun sir finds out this, he will encounter me for sure" Sree replied scaringly when taking out the pen drive from the laptop bag.
The pen drive was literally snatched from his hand by Riya once he got hold of it from his bag.
"Thank you so much, Sree, and don't open your mouth about this secret to Arjun sir"Riya half thanked and half warned him to keep this secret to everyone.
" Ri, it is going to lead you some grave trouble!" Chotu said seriously thinking about the consequences it would bring if Arjun would get to know this little secrets of her.
"What trouble it would invite! And to whom?" Arjun questioned suspiciously and stood in front of them raising his eyebrows.
Thinking of the devil and he is coming in all his glory.
Sree and Chotu literally clutched their heart to stop the erratic heartbeats looking at Arjun. On the other side, though Riya is scared, she put a brave face in front of him.
Arjun raised his eyebrows at the trio waiting for answers.
"We were talking about the movie that we had watched yesterday and that's nothing!" Riya mumbled to him and gave him one of her famous dimple smiles to divert him.
Arjun couldn't believe her tales, so he looked at her intently, but Riya smiled at him nervously without waiting for his reactions, she slipped to her cabin which is shared with Sree, Chotu.
Arjun is looking at her retreating figure confusingly, and by looking at her body language he could understand that she is hiding something from him. Without any tiny thoughts that could block his mind, he too followed her, making Sree and Chotu gasped at the scene which is going to unfold now.
Riya's cubicle
Riya is breathing severely due to the look she has seen in his face before he came searching for her not so good behavior at the conference hall she had to hide this pen drive. But it's too late Arjun already reached the room in long strides, before she could put the suspicious thing in her bag, he holds her hand tightly this sudden act makes her feel his presence. She started to wriggle out of his arms so that she can save that poor little, otherwise, he would crush that metal object in his hand himself.
Arjun gripes her hand tightly and started to open her left palm in which she is holding something which is unknown to him. Now Arjun is holding her tightly by her waist and her front touching his hard chest. Using his right hand, he caged her in his arms immovable and started to open her left palm using his left hand. Finally, he managed to open her knuckles and hold of something in a rectangular shape and the object is so cold in his warm hand, he started to touch the object for some time and he recognized that was a pen drive.
He looked at Riya dangerously and Uncaged Riya from his arms. When he left her, she felt a sudden emptiness and cold is engulfing her without warning. Riya looked at him disappointed and raised her feet to reach out to him so that she could hold of that pen drive.
Arjun looked at her futile attempt to reach him, and raised his left hand above his head to make her petite frame couldn't reach him effortlessly. Riya huffed in annoyance and started to jump to reach his hand, even her four-inch wedges couldn't help her reach out to his towering figure.
"Please, give it to me!" Riya pleaded him desperately to get the pen drive.
With no warning or so, ever he pushed her nearby wall and twisted her hand behind her back in a steel grip. The act of him made Riya frightened to the core. Arjun is looking at Riya for any kind of denial, but rather she is calm when he is literally hurting this made his anger reach his saturation point and the way she is looking down not his eyes boil his blood. He twisted her hand at the back more tightly so that she could look at him.
"Ahh" Riya let out a painful moan when he twisted her hand more tightly and she looked at him questioningly for his rude behavior.
"It's hurting" Riya muttered painfully and started to wriggle out.
"Exactly, it will be hurtful and too painful," Arjun said with a hidden meaning in his words.
Riya looked at him confused the way he is talking and it is more complicated to comprehend when being captivated in his arms.
"The path you are choosing is not a bed of roses or happiness as you think, instead it is full of poisonous thorns, stones, blood, cold-blooded murderers, guns and unnamed but dangerous things" Arjun tried to warn her before it is too late where even he can't save her.
Arjun closed his eyes tightly, to stop his brain, which is wandering in the future, where Riya is being hurt or to the point in which she is losing her life which is not worth her life. He flunks open his eyes and continued, "A girl like you innocent, pure soul doesn't deserve to be in the pain which would bring along with It, and your life is not worthy of it".
Arjun whispered breathlessly just thinking about something happening to her in near future.
Riya is looking at Arjun's brown eyes, and started her researching to learn his eyes, which is mysterious every time, unlike her so easy to read eyes. Riya couldn't tear away from his soul-piercing gaze on her. She looked down at the ground rather looking at him when she couldn't withstand his heated gaze.
This made his blood boil seeing her ignorance of his warnings.
"You are not going to learn that software, Riya" Arjun screamed in furiously, to make her understand the consequences of the path which she preferring.
By mistake, if she learned anything about that software, she would end up in some grave mistake or it would take her precious life away from her forever with no return. He certainly can't afford to lose her at least this much he cares for her.
To make her look at him, he punched the wall hard which is next to her head and shouted out of rage, this made her flinch in his arm.
"Understand!" It was more like an order, not a question but she had to agree with him even if she doesn't like it.
Riya is looking at Arjun's brown eyes, which are showing so many emotions like, pain, agony, anger, helplessness, and the care or protection which keeps flickering as the way his statements are changing.
"Understood!" Riya whispered with full of unshed tears looked at him.
Arjun looking at her tears and her unsaid love she had for him, which are against to his disapproval, but these things are his weakness, though he doesn't admit it openly to anyone not even to himself this is the hard truth of his life. He can't see Riya in misery.
Arjun released her from his arms and left the room once he saw a scared look on her face. Riya is looking at the retreating figure when he is moving away from her cabin. It was just a sec, she saw his eyes with so much care for her, just for her only, but it was just evaporated in the thin air.
Once he was out of her sight, the unshed tears rolled down on her cheeks making her cheeks wet.
"If it is dangerous for me, the same way it is for you as well, Arjun. I can't let you fight with the demons alone, you are going to avenge her death so you would find me next to you, even if you dislike it" Riya said determinately in her mind.
Both didn't know that their life journey is destined to be together to discover the truth of their life.
At Conference Room
Chotu and Sree are nervously looking at the direction, It was after painful torture of expecting them, Arjun came out of the room in furious mode. It was around 20 mins later Riya returned, she came with a calm face surprising everyone in the room including Arjun. Rathod, Ayesha, Liza, Sree, and Chotu are looking at them confused because they were behaving well yesterday but they both are back to square one. Riya is being calm and Arjun is in a furious mood. They all sighed sadly thinking about them.
Roughly, it was 10.20 AM Rathod got a call indicating a case. After winding off the call he said that they have two murder cases to which the team has to split.
One team Ayesha, Riya, and Chotu and another team Arjun, Rathod, and Sree. Liza would stay at ETF for an autopsy of two dead bodies. They all agreed with them and left for the concerned crime spot in a different ETF car.
~Around 5 in the evening~
Ayesha, Riya, Liza, and Chotu looking at the door expectantly for the arrival of the other three people who haven't returned after solving their case.
"Where are they? If we could return after arresting the culprits, why not them?" Ayesha asked loudly and too desperate to see others without any injury.
Liza is treating Chotu's wound which happened due to when catching the criminal, and Riya is sitting next to Chotu assisting Liza to treat him. Ayesha is walking from here and there in the corridors to ease the tension. Finally, Sree walked into the conference with the supports of Rathod and Arjun. He is slightly injured in his leg, so he couldn't walk properly. This made the Liza jump from her place and ran towards Rathod to support Sree. This made everyone amazed to see her concern except Ayesha and Riya. Thank God Chotu wound was bandaged if not she would have left in the middle seeing Sree's injuries.
Liza supported Sree to walk by holding his shoulders, but much to everyone's surprise Sree has accepted her help. Rathod and Arjun let go of him the moment Liza ran towards them. Taking this as a moment Arjun tried to slip through his cabin.
"Where are you going Rawte with your injuries?" Rathod asked him eyeing his blood strained left sleeve.
Riya shifted her gaze from Sree to Arjun. She stood from her place with a worried face.
"To my cabin and I will clean my wound to myself" Arjun answered back irritatingly because this would invite everyone's attention to him, precisely Riya's undivided attention on him.
Arjun doesn't want to wait for anyone, started to walk towards his cabin, but he felt some soft hand is clasped his right side wrists to prevent him from moving further. He doesn't need to turn his head to know that person who did a daring act of stopping him.
The entire team looked at him to react wildly or scream at her ferociously, but nothing that sort of it happened. He just stood in that place without movement.
Arjun turned his head and looked at the black eyes, which are worried for him, just for him, making him lose his battle yet again. He sighed inwardly, Riya literally dragged him to the nearby sofa and made him sit. She craned her neck to get the first aid kit, she felt someone forwarding the box to her side. She looked up the person who helped her without asking, Rathod smiled at her slightly, looked worried for Arjun. She blinked her eyes to sure him that he will be okay.
She focused on the left arm in which there is a deep knife, cut and it made the sleeves of the dress tore above his elbow. She rolled his sleeves and cleaned the blood with cotton, which is dipped in split so that the cotton doesn't get attached to his skin, after that she applied silver X ointment on top of the wound to stop the bleeding and bandaged his arm sealed with medical tape.
Looking at the deep cut, Rathod asked concerned when she was sealing the wound with tape, "Doesn't it require stitches as the cut is pretty deep and painful?"
"No, it doesn't need it, He just needs to change the tape twice a day so that it will heal soon and water should not touch on this injury" Riya replied confidently, making others look at her weirdly.
"How can you so sure of it? What if the wound gets septic?" Rathod questioned her confused thinking any small blunder which would cause to Arjun's health.
"My mom was a doctor in the Indian Army and she dealt with so many worse injuries than this, and I was always with her to help whenever she treats her patients till she was alive, and My sister is a neurologist at a famous hospital in London. All my life I was with doctors, and I knew basic medicines to treat others when it's required," Riya replied softly, revealing everyone a bit of her past.
They are surprised to know that She belongs to a doctor's family, especially her mother was working for the Army. Rathod is in guilt after suspecting her.
"I didn't know that Riya, I'm sorry," Rathod said guiltily.
"No problem, you are just worried about him and I don't mind it!" Riya replied grinning reading his senior worry about Arjun.
She started her concentration back to Arjun's forehead injury. It was tiny but sharp, and dried blood had traced till his right eyebrows. She couldn't avoid looking at his brown orbs which are so serene, unlike her worried ones. Arjun is looking at her eyes, which are lingered with teardrops, and She trapped her lower lip in between her teeth to stop the tears roll down or make a painful sigh looking at him.
She is applying the burner on the skin to soothe the injury, but he didn't even flinch a bit or let out a painful moan like this physical pain is frivolity which couldn't make him hurt at all. Whereas, Riya blows out air after applying stinging medicine thinking that it would hurt him. It seems, an injured is someone else and the pain is felt by someone else.Riya applied the ointment on the forehead and sealed the injury with a small medical tape so that it can be infection and germs free.
The control broke loose as her left eye started to tear down with one pearl after some time one after one started to fall freely. Arjun looked at her when his right hand wet with something. She is sniffling herself to control the sob inwardly. Without thinking, his hand reached out to her beautiful face and rubbed off the tears drops with his long and rough right hand. She shivered when his warm and rough hand touched her cheeks to wipe off the tears. Arjun nodded his head like 'No' to stop her silent weeping. When she looks at accusingly, he blinked his eyes two times to show her that he is perfectly fine making her sigh outwardly for his reckless behavior.
The whole ETF is looking at their eyestalks and their assurance, but they didn't open their mouths to ask anything, because whatever they are seeing now is something beautiful to be called out, and two people are yet discovering at least from Arjun side. It would be a great embarrassment for witnessing something private between a man and a woman. So they pretended like they are not watching them or listening to their unsaid words.
After treating his wounds she mouthed, "Done" not looking at him. Arjun is staring at her until she looks back at him.
"I'm alright, Don't cry, for me!" Arjun mouthed desperately looking at her worried face, his voice is feeble only Riya could hear him, not even Rathod who is standing 5 feet away from them.
She nodded her head while rubbing off her remaining tears without anyone noticing them.
Arjun smiled inwardly when she stopped her crying. He knows her tears are affecting him more than anything in this world currently. He doesn't want to realize the reason for it, because he has a vivid idea about those feelings.
After two days Saturday night
~Riya's Apartment ~
It was around 8 in the evening, Sree and Chotu sitting inside the hall waiting for Riya to return with coffee and snacks. Exactly after 10 mins, she came with 3 cups of coffees along with snacks for Chotu. She placed the tray on the tea table and sat next to her friends. They started having their drinks in silence, but Chotu couldn't stop himself interrogating her.
"Why are you behind that software, Ri?, even after so many warnings from Arjun Sir?"Chotu asked her confusingly.
" He is saying right and we didn't know whether this software would lead towards Atlaf or his Mafia boss. You should stop this before it will create havoc in your life" Sree literally pleaded her thinking about the outcome of her mission.
Riya motioned them her hands like 5 mins and went inside her room to get something. Choree looked at her uncertainly after 5 mins she came with some files and along with her personal laptop. They looked at the files and laptop suspiciously.
Riya showed them a newspaper, which was printed one year ago in Malaysian crime times and the latest crime report of a smuggler Rahim.
"How can you so sure that it is related to Sikander?" Sree asked her unsure of the data points she is showing.
"The Malaysian crime times newspaper had published this news one year ago, after suspicious deaths of henchmen who had worked for the underworld don.They didn't die because of guns, or sharp objects and it's not even a nasty murder with blood. They all had a tattoo at the nape of their necks and that is 'S' and the reporter even mentioned that the death due to electromagnetic strong pulse that caused a sudden death to all of them. There is some chip that was inserted in their body once they were trained for illegal activities, to identify their man. If they no longer helpful for the boss or they try to mislead their boss they have to face death certainly.All the henchmen are identified with numbers and the data are classified in the specific control device, where the boss can add a new member, and delete it whenever he wishes. If he deselect the individual, it will trigger a magnetic pulse in his body through that chip and the person would die in seconds.An interesting fact about the device is, only the boss could access it using his/her right thumbnail. The common symbol to identify them is 'S'. Unfortunately, Rahim had faced a sudden death before Atlaf arrival in India, So everything is interlinked with each other." Riya explained everything about the software.
She paused for a few mins to continue again, "I tried reaching the crime reporter, unfortunately, he had died mysteriously a week after this news published in Malaysia. I'm damn sure this 'S' symbol indicates Sikander Dalal."
Sree and Chotu looked at her surprised, and the way she pointed her each data in a clear picture and the determination to find him was inevitable. She madly wants to help Arjun sir, even after trials of all the warnings.
"You have almost 80% of the software details! Then why did you ask me more?" Sree questioned further while scratching his head in utter confusion.
"I want to know, how does he is making people join in his group? And his complete network in India!" Riya confessed in clarity about the information she requires.
"What if Arjun sir is right? The path you are going to take or stood for him are hazardous, he doesn't want you to get hurt while helping him in his mission." Sree tried to reason her supporting Arjun.
"I knew" Riya whispered under her breath not meeting their friend's concerned eyes.
"You love him so much, Don't you?" Choree asked her in the union.
She couldn't deny her feelings in front of these two people, so she looked down to hide her blood rushing cheeks.
Choree looked at her mischievously and sat next to Riya either side of her crushed her in a bear hug.
"Jezzz, Yes, Yes, We knew it, and we also know that the great ACP Arjun's steel wall around his heart is breaking down slowly but steadily. " Sree replied her teasingly.
Riya pouted at them for their leg-pulling. Choree laughed out loudly looking at her blushed face.
Same night Ravi's lodge
~Arjun's room~
"Have you removed the chip from his body without his trance?" Arjun asked him hopefully.
"Yes AR, Before reaching him I used chloroform to make him unconscious and found the symbol on his nape. Since he was unconscious, it was easy for us to remove the chip" Raj clarified his doubts.
"I will come directly to interrogate him, and I have to discover the truth about him and his boss hideouts " Arjun replied with finality.
"Please don't stress yourself too much, and you are pushing yourself way too much to reach out to him, Arjun" Raj pleaded him to take care of his health.
He chuckled softly and said, "It's just 2 to 3 hours travel from Mumbai to Chennai through the air, so I'm coming right now"
Raj sighed heavily thinking about his stubbornness of this man. He reluctantly agreed to his senior.
Arjun booked an open-air ticket to Chennai and left to his destination with the hope of finding the clues.
Monday Morning At ETF
Everyone inside the conference room except Arjun. Once Rathod moved to his cabin, and the juniors started their gossips.
~Inside Rathod's cabin~
Rathod is going through the files suddenly his mobile started to ring. He looked at the mobile screen to know the caller, and it turned out to be from Mukesh Sir.
"Good Morning Sir," Rathod replied politely to his senior .
"Morning Rathod, We have a case, and it is related to Rawte group's CEO. I want you guys to protect Rawte group of companies CEO," Mukesh said confusingly thinking about the surname.
Rathod stood from his place hastily and inquired concerning, "What happened to him? Is he hurt?"
"He is alright, it seems, he came from New York to India for a conference with his wife, and on the way to his mansion some hired men tried to attack his car, but luckily his security team rescued them without any hurt. I got a call from his PA Mr.Zain to investigate this case, and he is afraid that their life is in danger "Commissioner said.
" When did they return from New York?" Rathod asked him confusingly.
"Sunday early morning! You guys go to his office directly to get the information and you guys have to protect him and I will send you Mr.Zain personal number" Commissioner instructed them.
After winding off the call, so many thoughts are running in his mind like, Why Mr.Rawte didn't try to contact Arjun, instead of that his PA contacting Commissioner for security. Does Arjun is not aware of all these things happening around his parents?. He knew that trying to get answers from Arjun is like pulling his one hair. With long steps, he dashed outside of his cabin to inform his team about a new and peculiar case.
~Back to conference hall~
Arjun has joined them and all are buried themselves in their work to avoid scolding from Arjun. Rathod stood silently before talking to his team about the case.
"We have a case and it's about protecting an influential man in Indian rather say all over the world and his life is at risk, we have to move now" Rathod replied softly looking at Arjun for a sec.
Sree opened his mouth to ask about the name of the person and to where they have to head now, But Rathod showed him back of his hand and replied, "I will explain everything after reaching the place or maybe you guys would get to know once we reach that place"
All looked at him puzzled for his indirect words and the confusion on his face adding fuel to the fire. After 15 mins they started to move that place in different ETF cars.
Rathod is driving the car, Arjun is in the co-driver seat. Chotu is driving the other car and Sree is occupying the co-driver seat and Ayesha, Liza, and Riya in a back seat and Chotu is following Rathod's car.
Entrance Of Rawte groups Empire
After 45 mins of drive both the cars reached the entrance, Arjun is looking at Rathod confused and in a flash of a second, he understood that whom he was referred in the morning, without waiting for the car to stop properly, he jumped from the car and he runs towards the building. Others look at him weirdly, and they looked at the name board of the build name, it is written in a bold golden letter 'Rawte's Groups'.
They all gasped at the revelation of Arjun's family except Rathod and Ayesha.
"This is Arjun's dad empire and he is back to India from New York for a conference which is held in India and he was attacked yesterday early morning by some goons and his personal guards are saved him and his wife without any injury," Rathod said to his team, who is looking at him intently.
Riya is searching for Arjun, but he is already inside the building to ensure his dad's safety. Rathod motioned everyone to come inside. The building is made of glass with white stones and the interior of the office is breathtakingly beautiful they all looking at the building in awe.Rathod pressed the 12th-floor button in the lift to meet Zain and Mr.Rawte.
~Before 10 mins At Zain cabin~
Arjun barked at Zain's cabin without knocking, making the poor soul startled because of the sudden interrupter in the room, and Arjun is looking at him enraged.
"Why the hell you didn't call me?! They are in danger, and some bloody criminals had the nerves to attack them in spite of the personal guards! How it is possible?" Arjun banged the table in anger and in fear of something happening to them.
"I tried calling you from Saturday night, your number was switched off rarely and I don't have any option left other than phoning commissioner " Zain replied sadly looking at his face.
Arjun left out a painful sigh and replied liable "I was out of town for some work and I had switched off the mobile for some reasons".
Arjun runs his hand through his hair to control the throbbing heart out of his habit.
Zain placed his hand on his shoulders to comfort his restless soul.
"Come, let's go and visit your, dad, certainly he is waiting for you!" Zain pulled him out of the cabin happily.
Outside Mr.Rawte cabin
The whole ETF is present outside the cabin and they saw Zain is coming along with Arjun.
~Inside the Mr.Rawte cabin~
Mr.Suryakant is going through the files calmly, he looked up when someone is knocking his cabin glass door.
"Yes come in!" His manly authoritative voice echoed permitted them to go inside.
Everyone enters his cabin, he was surprised looking at so many unknown people amidst some known face, including his only son 'Arjun'. He stood from his place and walked till facing Arjun. Both of them looking literally worried about each other, but not showing on their faces stubbornly.
The man in front of them is not an old man, he is way too handsome for his age. Salt and pepper hair, sharp eyes, and well-built body with a personality to die for, now they understood from where Arjun inherited the handsomeness, attitude, and personality. Arjun's dad's eyes are deep black eyes, whereas Arjun has warm deep brown eyes with a hint of mystery aroma it seems the eyes alone he inherited from his mother.
"What happened the entire ETF is here? Any problem?" Mr.Rawte asked looking at ETF.
"We have received a call from the commissioner about the attack, and we have a strict order to protect you guys!" Rathod replied with concern and hung his head in shame thinking about his rude behavior, when they came to console him two years ago when Roshini was murdered.
He laughed stylishly and said, "What? Attack on me? , when 24/7 guards are with me, and top of that with those numerous hidden cameras in my mansion, office, and in my personal chartered flights and where not. I don't think so, someone could dare to threaten my life with those call tracking devices, chips and even tracking my travel history around the world though it is a small meeting with my clients. I think you guys are mistaken that I need protection which is not necessary .I and my wife are perfectly alright so you may leave now."
Arjun looked at Zain murderously for leaking out his personal secret of safeguarding with his absence.
Zain looked at Arjun apologetically and nodded his head like 'I didn't tell him anything'.
Mr.Rawte proudly looks at Arjun finding his not so little secrets.
"Dad, please" Arjun's voice desperate like a plea to convince the man in front of him for protection.
The word he is yearning to listen months, it was so soothing to his soul.
Everyone left the room when Arjun literally begged his dad desperately.
Once everyone out of their eyes, Mr.Rawte looked at Arjun's concern face.
"This is nothing man, you are charging up unnecessarily," Mr.Rawte said playfully.
"What this is nothing! Your life at stake and I can't afford to lose you and Mom, Dad" Arjun screamed in distress.
Mr.Rawte smirked at his son and replied, "Oh, as you sent us off to New York to protect, the hired personal guards from London and the cameras, Gbps and mobile tracking devices are not enough to save us, Arjun?"
Arjun is stunned to know his father is noticing everything around him like a pro.
"Don't look at me like that, of course, I know what is happening around me, that's the reason I'm able to manage this empire, and my son is a proud and intelligent officer in India" Mr.Rawte replied stylishly.
Arjun annoyed at his remarks this made Mr.Rawte laugh out loudly making Arjun touch his nose in irritation.
"Where is Mom?" Arjun diverted the topic, and the son in him yearn to see his mother after a long break.
"She is at our home and waiting for you!" Mr.Rawte replied sadly thinking about her wife.
"I will come today to see her!" Arjun uttered the next words carefully, that made his father smile inwardly.
"We are waiting for you, Arjju" his dad whispered hoping to see him at their home
Arjun shook his head and left the room.
~Outside the Mr.Rawte cabin~
Everyone is looking at the buildings except Rathod who is talking to Zain to inquire about the assault and Ayesha is accompanying Choree, Riya, and Liza to roam around the builds before the investigation starts that would take their free time. Suddenly Riya's eye caught some photo frame which is hung on the opposite wall, she turned her head to see her team is present with her along with her friends or not, luckily they are all 10 feet away from her admiring the beauty of the office.
Her legs inwardly moved closer to the glass wall to see that photo frame, in which ARJUN is laughing in a carefree manner and his eyes wrinkle at the corner of both of his eyes to show how much he strained his cheeks to control the smile. He is looking so handsome in a white crisp cotton shirt and with no worry lines. Riya couldn't avert her gaze from that pic and she forgets to blink her eyes. In her trance, she didn't realize the glass partial is preventing her to reach that area where the pic is hung.
When Arjun comes out of his dad's cabin he sees that all of them are admiring the office, but Riya is intently watching his pic trying to tear away the glass partition to reach that place just like his heart.
Riya felt his presence behind her and their shoulders are almost touching it.
"You look so handsome when laughing," Riya whispered admiring his smile.
Arjun chuckled softly at her opinions, but couldn't move his eyes from her.
She is pushing herself to attain his pic, but hit her forehead in the glass partition in mistake, she yelped in pain due to sudden pain. This made Arjun concerned for her, who is standing next to her from the time he is out of the room.
"You should be more careful while walking, and that's just a pic" Arjun rubbed her forehead concernly to ease the pain, and to prevent it from forming a bump.
"You should smile more often" Riya whispered breathlessly in his arms, it is just one push from either of their side, they will be hugging each other tightly even the air can't pass through them.
Riya looks in his warm brown eyes, which are looking at her intensely, it is like a magic of his eyes, she stretched her hand to reach his subtle jaw to touch him, but refrained from doing it so fearing about his rejections, and what if he will push her uninterestingly when she touches him lovingly.Arjun is a little disappointed when she withdrew her hands before touching his cheeks lovingly but doesn't show it on his face and concentrated on his task of rubbing her forehead continuously.
"I'm alright" Riya murmured softly while eyeing him up. But Arjun glared at her and started to caress the forehead softly.
In Mr.Rawte's cabin.
Mr.Rawte is looking at the Arjun moving figure with concern till he is out of his sight, but all of a sudden his eyes caught Arjun to standing next to one elegant lady who accompanied him, he guessed it she is belongs to ETF and watching the scene with utmost care.
Arjun's dad raised his eyebrows looking at the scene which is unfolding Infront him. He rubbed his eyes twice to confirm the truth that his only son is showing concern to someone other than his family. It should be written in the history, because he is caressing her forehead when she got hurt in the glass wall.
"Interesting, I have to know who is she? What so special in her that Arjun Suryakant Rawte is freaking out for that small wound" Mr.Rawte smiled and to investigate on this matter personally.
