Thank you 😳

Thanks a ton Jenny. Means a lot 😳 I am continuing this. Will be posting the next part soon :D And just knowing that people want to see this in the show means a lot 😳 Thank you :)

As I walked through the hallway towards the huge door, I realised something was missing. Stressing my brain, I realised it was my bag. I groaned internally at the thought of facing the laad governor again. I rushed back upstairs, only to bump into someone. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. Avoiding him, I continued walking.

"Miss Gupta, I need to talk to you." The professional voice echoed in the huge hall. I ignored him yet again, knowing I was infuriating him. "I am ordering you to stop where you are and listen to me."

Ordering? He was ordering me? How dare he! I stopped in my tracks and turned around, controlling my anger and making sure the cold side of Khushi was still visible.

She turned and her eyes were still cold. I hated this side of Khushi, I want the other Khushi back. The real Khushi back. Why do I want her back? I mentally kicked myself and looked at her, ready to receive another dose of the rude Khushi Gupta.

"I don't take your orders anymore Mr Raizada. I am not your employee. See that letter in your hand, that is my resignation." Just as I expected, the rude Khushi.

Giving my signature evil smile, I replied, "I know it is your resignation. But I never said that I accepted it. That means you are still my employee." I smirked as I saw her mouth open to speak again. I looked straight into her eyes and I knew that the old Khushi was back.

"Excuse me?" She retorted. "I don't care if you accept my resignation or not. I am quitting and that's done. Who do you think you are to tell me what I am supposed to do?"

"Your boss."

"You are not my boss. You cannot pressurise me to work in AR anymore."

"Okay. Since you are breaking the contract, I would like you to pay my 1 lakh by tomorrow."

"I am not paying you. And that's it, get that?"

She was going red with anger. I loved fighting with her. Trying to stifle the smile that was threatening to curve my lips, I continued to annoy her, knowing I was sending over the edge. "Okay, don't pay. Then I'll see you in the office in exactly half an hour."

I groaned. This person was getting on my nerves. Taking a few steps towards him, I whispered in an angry voice, "Neither am I working in AR anymore, nor am I paying you a penny."

"I really wanted to avoid this but you are pushing the limits Khushi." He took a step towards me. He knew this was my weak point, yet he chose to do this to me.

"Wh-wh-what do you' you mean?" I stammered as he continued walking towards me and I backed into the wall.

"I will see you in the court very soon." And giving me another smirk, he started to walk down the stairs. Did he just say court? Court? The nerve of this guy. Urgh. We'll see Arnav Ji, we'll see how you get the money out of me. And with that, I ran upstairs to get my bag.

Let's see how you quit now Khushi. I thought to myself, smiling and walking towards my car. I don't know why I wanted her back in the office. I don't know why I felt so hurt when she resigned. And I don't know why I didn't give her a rude lecture when she insulted me in my own home, in front of my di. Something is really wrong with me.

I picked up my bag from the bed and started to leave.

"Khushi." I closed my eyes and stopped in my tracks as I heard di call out for me. Just what I didn't want. Slowly turning around, I smiled and asked her what the matter was. "You are in a fight with my brother right? Not me. So please, just stay here and sit with me for a while."

"I would love to but' okay, this is going to sound rude' but the thing is that I don't want to have any connections with this house or the people of this house anymore. I am sorry, but if I stay here, the pain of the past will only increase. So, I am going to' umm' I am going to go. Bye." I turned around, only to see a photo of Arnav ji and di on the wall. I mentally kicked myself for staring at it and quickly walked out, reminding myself that I wasn't meant to be here, or was I?

As I walked towards the cabin, my eyes fell on the red and golden cloth. I kept on staring at the empty chair, which was meant to be for her for the next 12 days."See that letter in your hand, that is my resignation." The words resounded in my head and yet again, I felt hurt. A smile curved my lips as I remembered the terrified look on her face when I had told her about going to the court. But really, would I? No, I won't. I had already done her too much harm. Wait, why do I care?

"ASR?" I heard Lavanya call out and I came out of my trance. How long had I been staring at the table for? "I just wanted to ask, did that chamkili come your house to give you her resignation?"

I clenched my fist as I heard the word chamkili. "I told you in the morning and I am repeating myself. I do not want to hear that word again. She has a name, and her name is Khushi Kumari Gupta. Address her by that name. I don't want any insulting nicknames in this office. Understood?" Somehow, I had managed to keep my voice calm and professional, even though I was boiling with anger. "And Lavanya, whether Khushi" I stressed on her name, making sure no one calls her chamkili again. "whether Khushi came to give me her resignation or not, that's none of your business. It is a matter of confidentiality. So please, just get on with your work. And that calendar, I want it by tomorrow." And with one final look at the main door, I walked to my cabin.

"Khushi, did you resign?" Jiji's voice broke my chain of thoughts as I walked into the house. Urgh, why am I thinking about him?

"Ya, I did."

"Did he accept it?"

"I don't care if he accepted it or not. All I know is that I am not working there anymore." I snapped back and straight away regretted it. I sat down mumbling a sorry. "Can we not talk about it?" I asked and jiji nodded in agreement.

I wondered how the office would be right now. Who would be getting the prints done for him and La ma'am? Of course, Sim and Pam are of no use, so no point expecting it from them. And what about the dictations? I knew I was the only one who could handle them. No one had the brains to actually use a voice recorder on their phone. And what if there were corrections in some prints? Or' wait a minute. Why I am thinking about that place? Argh!

I kept looking out the French window of my cabin, hoping she would walk in through those huge doors. I had a letter to get done, so I needed someone to get it done for me. Dictations, no one is good enough except for her. Staring at my laptop screen, I decided to do the dictation myself. I had grown too accustomed to her in the past 3 days, had become too dependent on her to get everything done, since she did get it done. I think it's about time you stop depending on her ASR. Remember, you don't depend on anyone. It's you, and only you. No one else. So, why can't I stop thinking of her?
