Insanely Obsessed (note on pg 22) - Page 2

The bright rays of sun sneaked into the colossal n lusciously furnished room n fall on a man who was fast asleep on his king sized bed. His chest was bare while the rest of his body was covered with a duvet. As the sun rays seeped into the room through the splits in the curtain n illuminated the room partially, the guy stirred a little, moaning in agitation. He pulled the duvet upto his face n concealed his face behind it. But apparently his fate had conspired against his sweet n sound sleep. His favourite song 'I hate love stories' resonated in the room, thereby pulling him out of his deep slumber. The guy agitatedly pulled the duvet off his face n stretching his arm he patted the bedside table in search of his phone. Finally when he found it, he grabbed it n placed it on his ear while turning around so that at the moment he was lying on his stomach with his face turned sideways.

The guy muttered in a sleepy tone :"What the hell yaar! Now who the hell is dying to talk with me? Dont even let me sleep peacefully."

He replied sleepily in the phone :"Hello."

But still,instead of getting a reply he could only hear the ringtone of his own mobile.

He frowned :"Huh!"

He brought the phone in front of his eyes to examine what went wrong n smacked his forehead lightly with it as realization dawned on him.

The guy : "What a moron I am! Forgot to press the answering button. Idiot."

He pressed the answering button n placed the phone on his ear, still not glancing at the caller id that flashed on the screen.

The guy now answered the call sleepily with his eyes still closed :"Hmm...who's it? Mind you you better have a very solid reason to disrupt my sweet nap or else be ready to face my wrath."

The voice at the other end replied quite sarcastically :"Good Morning Mr. RK. Oh I'm so sorry to disturb ur sweet, little nap but I do have a very solid ground. Come on now! Get up u jerk n come to office as soon as you can."

RK immediately recognize the voice as everyone was not alowed to talk like that to the Rishabh Kumar - the greatest business tycoon of India who had his business spread over most part of the world. Rishabh smiled as the realization regarding the anonymous caller dawned on him.

RK : "Rahul! You are such a moron yaar! I was having such a wonderful dream n u had to interrupt n shatter it."

Rahul chuckled :"Ya ya I know exactly what wonderful dream u were having. Must be of those useless girls you usually hang out with. I'm telling you dude, you better watch out. You have such a cassanova reputation that a day will come when you will regret it."

RK laughed n retorted back :"Oh come on dude! RK never regrets a single thing about himself. And you know na I just cant stay lifelong with a single girl. I live life to its peak. Even I have lost count of how many girls came into n went away from my life."

Rahul :"You are such a monster yaar. You know what you are the real beast n I'm eagerly waiting for the beauty to enter your life. I'm so eager to see you fall head over heels for some one."

RK chuckled :"Rahul you have seriously lost it man. Me n love! No ways! I'm not at all an emotional fool to dig my own grave. Got it. And for me no girl is special enough to grab my attention. They always throw themselves on me n run behind me. I dont have to do anything to grab their attentions."

Rahul :"Not every girl is like those whom you met till now. What if someday a girl enters your life who will not pay the slightest attention to you?"

RK sniggered :"Dream on dude. There is no such girl who can resist my charm. I always get what I wanted either by hook or by crook."

Rahul :"Everything is not always in our hands. Anyways its not in my power to make you understand. Only circumstances can make you understand."

RK chuckled :"Ya right! I'll wait for those circumstances. Now care to blurt out why on earth did you disturb my precious nap?"

Rahul :"Damn! I totally forgot. Get up now. I care a damn how you shove aside both your hangover as well as your companion from last night who, I'm quite sure, must be in deep slumber on your bed. Do it as fast as you can. Today we have a very important meeting. Remember?"

RK instantly remembered what he was talking about n sat upright :"Ya Rahul. I remember. The meeting is with our French client. Right?"

Rahul :"Yup. So make it soon Rishi."

RK :"Dont worry man. I'll b right there soon. Bone joure"

Rahul smiled :"Bone joure."

RK hung up n then glanced at his watch. He furrowed his brows to find that he had two hours to reach his office at right time for the meeting as his french client was extremely punctual. He sighed n yawned n stretched his arms. It was then that his gaze fall on the n***d girl lying beside him. He smirked thinking that she was such a shy girl who had an extreme crush on him or may be loved him. Love? Oh please! He never believed in such a stupid emotion which, according to him, always left one heartbroken n destroyed entirely. He never took it seriously as he never felt any deeper emotion rather than mere attraction for the girls he hanged out with. And the girl lying on his bed was no exception. He smirked thinking what wierd promises he had to make to the girl. Her name was Tamanna. Inspite of being aware of his extreme cassanova reputation, girls used to get enticed towards him, partly because of his incredibly handsome features n partly because his status,oppulence,fame. He had never been in love with any of them n Tamanna was no exception. He smirked n getting off his bed, he strolled away to the washroom which was adjacent to his room. After about fifteen minutes he walked out of the washroom in his bathing robes. His hair was all wet n ruffled which gave him a messy yet incredibly handsome appearance. Droplets of water was driping down his hair n running down his face, they made their way to his toned chest which was half visible through the opening of his robes. His appearance at the moment could make even the most serene n composed woman go wild with fervent desires. In his blue bathing robes, he was looking no less than a super model. He was drying off his hair with a towel when his gaze fall on Tamanna who was wide awake by the moment. She smiled sweetly at him.

RK beamed warmly at her :"Hey babes! Good morning. Had fun last night?"

Tamanna blushed at his cheeky question n replied : "Good morning Rishabh. Umm...are you going somewhere?"

She added as she found him opening his closet. Without turning back RK replied, still raking through his formal attires :"ya babe. Actually I have an important meeting."

Tamanna debilited for a moment n then lifting herself up to a sitting position while pulling the duvet upto her upper chest.

She asked him :"uh... Rishabh. Uh'actually I wanna ask you that'that ehn are you coming to my home to meet my parents?"

Finally being successful in grabbing a suitable formal attire,RK closed his closet n replied while locking it :"Why? Is there any occassion?"

Tamanna was a bit bemused at the striking nonchalance in his voice but still she shrugged it off, thinking that feasibly he didn't get the insinuation behind those words. Hence she decided to elicidate.

Tamanna :"Uh...wo...you know...to talk about the wedding."

As soon as the words left her lips RK whirled around swiftly. Her heart sank as she percieved the bemused expression adorning his handsome face.

RK :"Wedding? Whose wedding?"

Now it was Tamanna 's turn to get shocked to the core. She was utterly baffled to hear him. Still she tried to clarify :"What do you mean by whose marriage? Offcourse I'm talking about our wedding."

RK rolled his eyes knowingly n thought :"There she goes."

RK :"Our wedding? Great. And who made the plan coz as far as I know I dont remotely have any plan regarding this."

Tamanna was petrified to hear him. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Tamanna :"But...but you promised that..."

RK interrupted her :"I know sweetheart I promised you to always love you n be with you but never promised to marry you. now did I?"

RK's indifference shook Tamanna to the core. Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. Now it dawned on her that he never harboured any feelings for her n that whatever she heard about him, whatever her friends n family had warned her was nothing but truth.

Tamanna :"I loved you so much RK. I truly did. But you...you betrayed me. You shattered my heart into pieces n so conveniently treaded over the broken pieces."

RK rolled his eyes as he was feeling with these, according to him, melodrama.

Tamanna :"You really are a monster. You are nothing but a beast."

RK smirked n replied in a formidably calm voice :"Yes I am the monster, the beast. But did I ever deny it? No, never. I dont need to, neither I want to. I never told you that I'm your prince charming, your knight in shining armour. You conveniently had chosen to believe it. It's your problem then n not mine. I'm not the angel but the monster, not the prince but the beast. I'm the bad guy Tamanna, never the hero."

Tamanna wiped off her tears n glowered at the beast standing in front of her in the form of a human with teary eyes full of abhorrence.

Tamanna : "RK I truly loved you but you betrayed me. Today you have rejected my true love. One day a girl will enter your life who will reject you. You will fall deeply,madly,truly in love with her. The day will come when she will go away from you. That day you will understand my pain, the pain of losing your first love. That day you will suffer the heartbreak n go through the affliction as I am going through today."

RK laughed at her mockingly n snapped back :"Keep dreaming babes. There is no such girl who can resist RK's charm."

Tamanna : "There will come a girl on whom ur charms n status will have no effect. She will reject you n then you will know the pain of rejection."

RK : "Really? (He chuckled) Then I'm really anxious to meet that someone special No girl can ever reject Rishabh Kumar. "

Tamanna smiled mockingly through tears : "You are living in a world of illusions. Money cannot buy true love nor can power acquire it. It is a blessing, a gift of God which is not destined for everyone. You can take her away from others but you cannot get her love till you make yourself worthy of it. Mark my words RK. She will come to make you realize your mistakes n the pain that you have given me. And that too very soon."

RK rolled his eyes n muttered :"whatever."

He decided that it would be better to ignore Tamanna as,according to him, she was blabbering all nonsence. He strode out of the room as he was getting late for the meeting.
