Part - 3
Once Milind left Prachi sat down against the door with her head bend over her hands and tears started falling from her eyes. How dare he follow me to my room???
"What have I done?" she whispered to herself. He doesn't even know what happened yesterday night. I have sent Neev away as though I have done something wrong when I have actually done nothing to be put in such a situation. It's all because of that guy. Anger at Milind was blinding her now.
Prachi shook herself out of her melancholic mood and started lecturing herself. "You are much stronger than this. This is not the end, think of this as the beginning. You can always teach that guy Milind Mishra a lesson." Muttering to herself she walked towards the bedroom.
"Does he think that he is that irresistible? I will show him a lesson that he will never forget in his entire life" she muttered.
She started throwing things into her case for her flight back to Bombay. "I will definitely find an away to make sure that it hurts him so bad that he will never recover from it." She stated vehemently.
As she landed in Bombay her mind drifted to her new job. She had just joined a Multi National Company as the executive secretary to the CEO. The last company she had been working for had been taken over by a conglomerate and because of her hard work the Vice president of that company had recommended her for this new post.
She had come to Delhi partly to attend this business meeting on behalf of her CEO and to meet Neev whom she knew would be there.
All she had ended up with was the biggest drama of her entire life at the hotel later that night. Well, I am not going to think about it anymore she thought to herself.
She was hurrying into the office as one of the Vice President's who over saw the Bombay division called her to his office.
"Prachi"
"Yes Sir!"
"I have some exciting news to share with you, Our CEO is back from Turkey and he is at the office looking at our current sales figures. He wants you to send an office wide email which he will dictate once you get there"
"This is so exciting Prachi, we are meeting our CEO at last" the guy said excitedly.
Prachi was a bit apprehensive. She knew that she was very good at what she did but she had not met the CEO yet. She walked hurriedly to her office. After placing her back inside the drawer, she picked up her pencil and notepad and went to the CEO's office.
She tapped on the door but there was no answer. She slowly opened the door and walked inside and sat down on one of the empty chairs in front of his table waiting for her boss to show up. There was a slight movement near the coffee machine in one corner of the office and she turned towards it,
He had his back turned towards her. With a cool deliberate voice he said,
"Hello, Prachi. Din't I say we'll meet again" he said in a teasing tone
As soon as she heard that voice all the anger she had bottled up came boiling up.
"You! B***d!" Saying she pushed herself out of the chair and tried to walk out from the office.
But Milind was much quicker than her. Before she could walk out he had gotten hold of one of her arms. She tried to twist her hands free of his hold but he would not let go of her hands.
"Leave my hands! Right now! Or else I will scream the whole office down"
"Go Right ahead! But let me warn you that no one can hear you" he said with a sarcastic and smiling voice.
"Just listen for a second you will you. I really don't know what happened, that you are so angry at me? All I did was spend the night in your room" he asked genuinely
Still twisting to free her hands, "You are disgusting! Leave my hands now"
Milind lost his patience and took hold of both her upper arms and started shaking her "Who do you think you are? With a flick of my finger, I can get any girl I want in any city and more beautiful than you mind it" he said as anger at her insolence drove him.
"Milind let go of my hands!" Prachi said agitatedly and with anger at him
"No! I will not let go of your hands" his eyes were red with anger thinking about her attitude towards him.
"I have been patiently asking you as to what happened the other night that you are so angry at me for and you are driving me to do…." He stopped himself as he pushed her against the door of the office and bent his head towards her.
"Please Milind, I don't want this. Stop it" She shouted at him as she tried to push him away.
Milind was in no mood to listen. His hands were inside her hair and he pulled her mouth towards his. His body was pressed against hers with no way for her to escape. Her lips were trembling and she closed her eyes as his lips took possession of hers. It was not a tender kiss; the kiss reeked of anger and passion in it.
"Milind.." Prachi muttered through her teeth. Milind was in no mood to listen to anything she was saying. He was angry at himself and at her. There was something uncontrollable in him when he was around her like the other night. She trembled at his possession of her lips.
Even, if they had tried to, this was something that was way beyond either of their control. What was it about her that drove him to lose all this formidable self control? This was the second time he was meeting her and he was kissing her in his office for god sakes.
Meanwhile, Milind's kisses were slowly driving Prachi insane. As time passed, Prachi's body became pliant in his hold and she opened her lips for him as her hands went around his neck.
Milind's hands slowly moved down her body and found the gap in her saree and pulled her much closer towards him. As the kisses became stronger and stronger Prachi was slowly losing the reality of what was happening and was eagerly participating in the kiss. Her hands were moving inside his jacket.
"Prachi, you are driving me insane" Milind muttered close to her lips and recaptured her lips once again. He said the thing that was bothering Prachi too. Why was she attracted to him? She had never even seen in him before that convention. What was it about him that made her accept his kisses?
Prachi's eyes went wide with apprehension and anger at herself for her shameless participation in the kiss. Just then the phone started to ring.
"You just wait right here, don't you dare go anywhere" saying Milind moved away from her and went to pick up the phone.
"Hello! Neev" Milind said as he raised his eyes towards her. He felt slightly guilty.
Prachi was disgusted with herself. How could she succumb to Milind's kisses? She was in love with Neev and Neev loved her. With tears rolling down her eyes, she opened the door and ran outside not even bothering to look back at Milind who was imploring her to stay back.
