Why the hell hasn't she called back yet?
Is she mad at me?
What the hell! Why would she be mad? We haven't even argued lately.
And that's supposed to be a good thing?
Um yea? Oh wait'
Exactly! See something is wrong!
Maybe she's PMSing? I mean she hasn't even let you do anything lately.
No she had her period a week ago.
Wow! ASR is such a jora ka ghulam that he even knows his wife's menstrual cycle timings.
"SHUT UP!"
"Um ASR? I was just going over the budget for the annual fashion show'" explained a very baffled Aman.
Arnav quickly snapped back to reality as he saw shocked and uncertain faces staring back at him as he had sprouted horns in the last 30 seconds.
He had become so occupied with thoughts of his wife that he had zoned out of the meeting and had made a fool of himself. Ugh the woman was going to drive him mad!
"Bhai are you okay?" asked a concerned Akash.
"Yeah. Continue Aman," said Arnav as he picked up his pen and pretended to write something down as a weak attempt to cover up his disinterest.
Maybe she's upset about Sheetal?
But she was the one who told her to stay!
That's because she was concerned about Aarav you idiot!
I already told her that Sheetal meant nothing. A relationship of two weeks is hardly a relationship.
Clearly Khushi thinks it was long enough to become a dad. Are you forgetting about the DNA report?
"ENOUGH!"
To say that the board members were shocked out of their minds would be an understatement. Hearing their CEO, the very man who had become one of the top businessmen in Asia at the tender age of 27, yelling out random rage filled words had them scared out of their minds.
Scared for themselves and him.
Maybe the young man had finally crumpled under years of stress and pressure.
Mr. Smith quickly sent a prayer to Jesus to keep the young man sane while Mr. Singh quickly recited the same prayer to his Waheguru.
"Bhai are you sure you're okay? Should we take a break?" asked a now very concerned Akash.
"Sorry gentlemen I was thinking about something else. Let's continue shall we?" And with that Arnav Singh Raizada succeeded in dismissing the apprehensive faces watching his every move.
Good god! Get it together will you? They think you're losing you mind! Just look at Akash, the poor guy is literally scared out of his mind.
I thought the whole Aarav being my son discussion was over?
Really now? What discussion? As I recall you told her off and stormed out of the room. That is not what normal people call a discussion.
But how could she think that though?
Oh let's see. The fact that you and your ex-girlfriend have been reminiscing about your past or the fact that your ex-girlfriend's son basically thinks you're his dad probably doesn't have anything to do with it right?
Shit!
I knew that Harvard brain would turn on eventually.
"Bhai?"
"Bhai?
"BHAI!"
"Are you trying to blow out my ear drums Akash? I'm sitting right beside you."
'Sorry bhai. Should we schedule the next meeting for Friday?"
"Yeah that works. All right then see you all Friday gentlemen."
Bidding adieu Arnav walked out of the conference room leaving behind very confused men who were not sure what to make of the ASR they had been introduced to during the meeting.
"Akash Sir? Is ASR okay?"
Before Akash could think of a logical reply, a man by the name of Mr. McDonald let out the laugh he had been desperately trying to stifle.
He controlled himself when he felt 16 pairs of eyes on him and soothed their worries with a few simple words.
"Mr. Raizada is newly married isn't he?"
Please let me know what you think! :)
