CHAPTER TWELVE
'Why didn't you just pick up my calls or even talk to me?'' Said Pratik
'I am sorry... I thought it would be easier if we just kept away until I got back... And by the time I realized I was being stupid, you were not picking my calls...'' Said Priya and Pratik just looked at her
'I really am sorry... I swear it is never going to happen again...'' She added and he looked at her worried as he sat back
'What...'' Said Priya but Pratik just kept on looking at her
'Come on... Forgive me...'' She said
'I am not mad at you... I ...'' Said Pratik only to hold back again
'I called your hotel when you got back here but they wouldn't allow me get through...'' Said Pratik
'Yeah sorry about that... There were a lot of people calling from the media and stuff and they were not allowing calls through...'' Said Priya
'I figured but there was a man who answered when I finally managed to get through...'' Said Pratik
'A man... I don't follow...'' She said
'Aarav... He said he was Aarav...'' Said Pratik
'Oh yes... The hotel chuffer... cutest thing ever... He was hired by Suraj... That one is overly cautious I tell you...'' Said Priya chuckling as she looked at him realizing
'Hang on a minute... You thought I was with Aarav... As in Aarav, my dealer Aarav ... Hell no...'' She added
'He said that he was...'' Said Pratik feeling like an idiot
'Yeah his name was Aarav and he was very very gay... If that makes you feel better ... It wasn't the Aarav you think. I would never go back to that life and I know why you got mad...'' She said
'Meaning...'' Said Pratik
'If that was Aarav, then Abhishek had to be there somehow isn't it...'' Said Priya and Pratik kept quiet
'Okay first of all, I am a huge flirt but I am also faithful and very loyal, secondly I promised Mimi I would never again get involved with that crazy brother of hers, so I keep that promise. Three I care about you way too much to hurt you like that...'' She said
'I... My mind just... Oh my God...'' Said Pratik making a realization
He had messed up in the biggest way possible. He should have trusted her enough to know there are certain thing she couldn't do to him and yet
'I did... I am... ' He said completely scared about what she was going to say about it
'What is it then? Come on you can tell me...'' Said Priya and Pratik gave in
'I did something...'' He said as he swallowed down the his dry throat
'What do you mean?'' Said Priya who was beginning to sense something was seriously off
'It was so stupid... It didn't... I was drunk and angry because I... ' He said as he sighed finding it out to get it out
'What...'' Said Priya
'I slept with someone while you were gone...'' He said in one breath
He looked at Priya trying to read something from her face but she was just sitting there not saying anything completely shocked.
'Say something...'' Said Pratik
'Ho... When ... Wha...'' Said Priya
'I was angry at you that you got back and didn't even call me or anything. I called you that day but you wouldn't pick my calls. I had a lot to drink. I finally get through and this Aarav person picks up and the next thing I know...'' Said Pratik and Priya just sat back and he could tell she was completely hurt
'It is not an excuse I know and I take full responsibility so I am truly very...''He said
'You don't have to apologize to me...'' She interrupted
'You are allowed to do whatever you want in your free time and besides you and I were not an item them, in fact I don't even know what we are now ...'' She added but he took her hands in hers and said
'Regardless of all that... I told you I would wait; being faithful was part of that deal... You didn't do anything like that while you were away...'' But she just looked at him
'Right...'' He added
'I didn't. No ... But my feelings are everywhere you can't necessarily...'' She began talking trying so hard to keep it together but the quiver in her voice was giving it away and the tears that were forming in her eyes
'Priya...'' He said softly
'It really shouldn't be a big deal to be honest; I mean I was staying away, you needed to move on. I mean you were under no obligation to wait or anything. I do not even know why this is really bothering me because in all honesty it shouldn't... I mean...'' Priya began blabbering
'Listen...'' Pratik began
'No... It is fine... Really ...'' She said
'Look...'' Pratik began but there was a knock on the door causing that conversation to abruptly come to an end
'Yeah...'' Said Priya as she opened the door
'Sorry Mam, Mihika Madam has been calling you for some time now she needs your help...'' Said the messenger and Priya took the phone walking out as she left Pratik there
Back with Mihika and Romi there conversation had taken a halt and unlike Priya and Ishita, Mihika wasn't that forward and she hated confrontation especially when it had something to do with her. Romi was angry at her and he had every right to be given how things ended but he didn't have the right to talk to her the way he did or be judgmental because he knew nothing about her or her life.
'Mihi...'' Said Romi trying to talk to her
'Where is Priya...'' Said Mihika clearly trying to avoid that conversation as she continued dialing her phone and banging on the door
'Mihika please listen to me... I didn't...'' Said Romi
'You know I get your angry at me but you have no right to judge me or be mad at me for not telling you about myself. I am pretty sure there is plenty about you that I know nothing about but you don't see me being angry at you for that...'' Said Mihika
'I know and...'' Said Romi
'It doesn't even matter... Clearly we have come to a point of no return and there is not coming back from all this...'' Said Mihika as she continued banging the door only form someone to swing it open
'Oh My God will you calm down...'' Said Priya
'That wasn't funny nor was it helpful...'' Said Mihika
'What happened'' Said Priya
'Just... Let us put all this to bed...'' Said Mihika as she walked out of the office
'What the hell did you do?'' Asked Priya as she looked at Romi but he didn't respond and just followed Priya
Back in the conference room where Simmi was, she wasn't having a very good day and Bebe was leaving no stone unturned in irritating her even the more
'What the hell is the matter with you?'' Said Simmi
'I am just doing my job Mam... Am sure you can understand...'' Said Bebe
'She is clean Mam, I promise you...'' Said Mark
'Maybe you should frisk her again... I want to be thorough...'' Said Bebe
'He has already done that twice and has checked my bag, thrice...'' Said Simmi irritated
'Am sorry Mam...'' Said Mark as he turned looking at Simmi
'Dare touch me one more time and I will call the authorities. What kind of nonsense is this?'' Said Simmi
'Arre... You can't threaten us when we are doing our jobs...'' Said Bebe
'Stay the hell away from me...'' Said Simmi
'Bebe...'' Said Mihika who walked in to see what the hell was going on
'Oh hey honey... everything okay...'' Said Bebe ignoring Simmi
'Keep that crazy woman away from me...'' Said Simmi
'What is going on'' Said Romi with Priya and Pratik not so far who all walked in seeing Simmi really upset
'There were a few security concerns that we thought needed taking care of. She is only freaking out because she didn't want us to check her bag...'' Said Bebe
'Why were you checking her bag...'' Said Mihika confused
'There is a ping virus going around...'' Said Bebe
'That can't be right. When Ishita took over she ensured that part of our system is top notch any viruses that passed the first floor wouldn't have made it past the second, let alone the fourth floor...'' Said Mihika
'Accha... No one told me this...'' Said Bebe as she sat up like nothing had happened
'So they frisked me twice for nothing...'' Said Simmi
'They what...'' Said a surprised Mihika
'Am sorry Mam, I was only doing my job...'' Said Mark and Priya tried to hide her chuckle but it was something Simmi could clearly see
'Pratik... These people are just...'' Said Simmi as she walked over to where Pratik was standing and put her arms around him resting her head on the nape of his neck
Mihika and Romi looked at them as they frowned a bit clearly seeing there was a story there that was brewing. Mihika who knew her friend had no sieve turned and looked at Priya who looked like someone had just plucked her heard out of her chest.
It didn't need a genius, the fact that Pratik looked worried when he told her about his one night meant something worse but she didn't want to see it that way and was trying so hard to make sure that it didn't affect her. But seeing the way Simmi was acting right now only brought this horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach and she realized that there was indeed something she needed to be worried about
'Was it her...'' Said Priya as tears began forming in her eyes
'Priya...'' Pratik called her as he pulled away from Simmi
'Oh My God... Oh My Go...'' Said Priya as she took a few steps back almost as if she was trying to find her balance
'Can we talk about this'' Said Pratik
'Uhh... I can... No... No we can't...'' Said Priya looking at Simmi before she turned to him tears streaming down her face
'You know earlier, when I said it was okay... It really isn't...'' Said Priya
'Please can...'' Said Pratik stepping forward
'Mark...'' Priya interrupted causing Mark to stand in his way as she walked away
'Priya... Pri... Will you get out of my way...'' Said Pratik
'Sorry Sir... I can't do that... ' Said Mark
'Pratik...'' Simmi called him
'Don't... Just don't Simmi...'' Said Pratik as she turned and walked back to where Raman and Ishita were

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Meanwhile at the Bhallas, Ruhi and Aditya had been left with Neelu and as usual she would let them do their own thing while she handled work around the house. They had met someone at the Mall a few weeks earlier and they had still failed to agree on what to do with the contents of that bear that they had bought from that toy shop.
'Adi Bhaiya, I don't think that it would be okay for us to go their...'' Said Ruhi
'But the voice said that it was Ishita who had sent for us. Maybe she wants to see us without dad knowing because they are fighting...'' Said Aditya
'But that is not Ishima's voice...'' Said Ruhi
'Yes... But I want to go and see, don't you miss her ...'' Said Aditya
'Haan... But ...'' Said Ruhi
'Look, I will make sure that I take care of you so you do not have to worry. He said it was important that we went to the park today...'' Said Aditya
'Well what shall we tell Papa...'' Asked Ruhi
'No telling Papa... We shall ask Neelu to take us or Mihir... ' Said Aditya
'Are you sure that this is okay...'' Said Ruhi
'Haan... Don't worry...'' Said Aditya as he took his sister's hand and they went downstairs
Back at Iyer Technologies, things were beginning to go south faster than they were getting resolved. Pratik tried to go after Priya but he couldn't find her and when she walked into the Elevator, he was told they were not allowed onto that floor without clearance. He was miffed with Simmi and yet he knew he too was to blame for what had happened. He walked into where Ishita and Raman were walking in as he got then giggling about something. They turned and looked at him and as much as he tried to hide it, it was completely written in his face
'What's wrong?'' Said Ishita looking up at him and causing Raman to turn
'Uhh I just...'' Pratik began but he was interrupted by Ishita's lawyer and Shlok who came into the room
'Ishita... It is time... They are here...'' Said Shlok causing Ishita to turn to Raman
'I have to go...'' She said
'Oh God... Yeah me too... Believe it or not I have a lot to do at the office...''Said Raman
'Ishu...'' Shlok called her again
'Okay... Okay I am up...'' Said Ishita
'Hey... Will I see you later...'' Asked Raman and Ishita turned looking at him then back at Shlok before she said
'I will tell you once I am done...'' Said Ishita and she walked out
'Pratik... Wait...'' Simmi came running in almost bumping into Ishita who was walking out
'Raman... I will catch you later I have a thing...'' Said Pratik
'We are leaving anyway... ' Said Raman as he got up and walked out
When they got to the reception they could see Riana Raghav, Abhimanyu, Mr. Iyer a few other people walking into the building. Abhimanyu recognized Raman because he turned and whispered something to Riaan that caused her to turn and look at Raman
'Excuse me...'' She said causing Raman to stop
'Yeah... Sorry can I have a word with you in private...'' Said Raina
'Sure... Said Raman as he turned to his counter parts
'I will catch you later, please call Romi tell him we are leaving...'' He added and they turned walking out
'So have you given any thought to what we talked about?'' Asked Raina
'My stance hasn't changed... I am not interested'' Said Raman
'You know I don't get you... I mean this would have been a very good opportunity for your company and also you would have got a lot of money off of it. My company is more than willing to double what they are giving you...'' Raina began
'Mam, please... ' Said Raman and Raina scoffed irritated as she said
'What is it about her that you won't see reason?''
'Excuse me...'' Said Raman taken back
'She is just a girl who is way in over her head and her mind is being ruled by her emotions. This company is going down under in a few months...'' Said Riana and Raman cut her off
'Okay I am going to stop you right there. I stayed here to listen to what you had to say out of sheer courtesy. I am not interested in what you have to say. I made a choice about my company and I plan to stick by that choice. If it was the wrong on that is fine, it is after all, my company... See I have that luxury because everything I own is mine...'' Said Raman
'Fair enough... You will come looking for me. I am a very patient woman...'' Said Raina smiling
'Do I hear a hint of a threat in there...'' Said Raman but Raina just looked at him
'See you around Mr. Bhalla...'' She said and finally walked away leaving Raman shaking his head
Back outside, Simmi and Pratik were about to get into something they had been putting off for weeks. Pratik was upset with himself and Simmi always being in his face didn't help matter either. But he knew that this was something that he couldn't put off much longer. He made it to the parking lot trying to get in his car when
'Pratik... Wait...'' Said Simmi pulling his hand and bring him back from his stance
'What did I do? Why are you so mad at me?'' She said
'Nothing... Shall we just leave...'' Said Pratik
'You know what... No... I am sick and tired of feeling like I did something bad or I did something wrong. Whatever happened was completely consensual. Stop making me feel like it is my fault alone because as I remember you were more than willing...'' Said Simmi
'When will she get back'' Said Pratik agitated
'Am sorry Sir but I do not know...'' Said the receptionist
'Is there someone of important that I can talk to?'' Said Pratik
'Sir, like I said I am not at liberty to tell you. In case of complaints please alert the police and if it is a missing person issue then...'' Said the receptionist but Pratik cut her off
'She is not missing. I know she is in that hotel. Just please, tell her Pratik wants to...'' Said Pratik but the receptionist cut him off
'Sir, I am really sorry but I can't help you...'' Said the receptionist hanging up
'Dammit...'' Yelled Pratik as he smashed the phone against the wall
'Whoa... Calm down...'' Said Simmi as she walked in
Simmi walked to where Pratik was standing and tried to hold him but he pulled away taking a few steps back as he said
'What do you want?''
'Uhh... I brought you the contracts for Iyer Technologies. Raman says go through them and see if there is a way we can get out of it...'' She said
'Right... Uhh ... Put it over there...'' Said Pratik as he walked to the mini bar in his house and poured himself a drink
'Are you alright...'' She asked
'Is that all... ' He cut her off
'Pratik...'' Said Simmi
'If that is all then please you can leave...'' Said Pratik
Simmi stood back and looked at him and felt sorry for him. In a way she felt bad because he deserved better than what they were dishing out to him. She put her bag down and removed her jacket as she walked to the kitchen
'What are you doing? Get out of my house...'' Said Pratik as he stumbled following her
'When was the last time you had some actual food...'' Said Simmi
'How is that any of your business...'' Said Pratik who at this point Simmi had deduced was really tipsy
'That means a long time... So sit down, let me prepare you something...'' Said Simmi as she headed to his fridge but it was completely empty
'Oh wow... Seriously Pratik ...'' Said Simmi and Pratik just sort of looked at her not saying anything
'I will order something...' She said shaking her head as she walked back to the living room
She took her phone and dialed ordering for food before she walked back to the kitchen where Pratik was seated looking miserable as he continued drinking.
'I never thought I would see the day when the great Pratik would go this crazy over a girl...'' She said
'If you are going to make fun of me I suggest you find your way out...'' He said
'No... That is not what I meant... I mean...'' She said as she sat down next to him
'I mean I get what you feel... The frustrations and anger... The feeling of neglect where you feel like you are not wanted... I get it...'' Said Simmi and Pratik looked at her
'In a way I am kind of jealous of her... She clearly managed to get something out of you that I couldn't...'' Said Simmi and Pratik galloped down more alcohol before he said
'You could have you just choose not to...''
'Oh Pratik... If only you knew...'' She said
'Meaning...'' He said as he drunk some more
'You know for a guy, who takes pride in being a ladies man, you are really horrible at reading them...'' Said Simmi as she took the bottle from him and drunk as well
'I am so not in the mood for this whole girl psychological games bullshit right now...'' He said and Simmi chuckled
'Can I ask you a question?'' Said Simmi
'Okay...'' Said Pratik taking his bottle back
'How come you never really asked me out'' Said Simmi and Pratik with an o-shaped expression said
'What...''
'No... What I mean is... You never really really asked me out if you think about it. I mean not in a way anyone would take you seriously. With Priya it was different... You courted her, made her get to know you and you know...'' Said Simmi and Pratik frowned a bit looking at her as he said
'Okay I am not drunk enough for this conversation...'' He said as he stumbled back to the minibar and grabbed the bottle of scotch
'Come on... Tell me... Why...'' Said Simmi as she followed him
'Simmi, you and I have known each other for a very long time. I made my intensions clear but you never thought I was good enough for you. You seriously didn't think I was going to wait for you forever...'' Said Pratik
'Not forever just...'' Simmi began
'Okay no... I am not having this...'' Said Pratik as he began slurring his words turning his phone around to see Priya had called
'She won't call back. If she cared enough about you she would have called back by now'' Said Simmi
'You don't know that...'' Said Pratik
'I actually do... She is giving you the cold shoulder and asking you to take a hike you just won't listen...'' Said Simmi
**********************************************************************
SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT CHAPTER
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
'That is not true, she would never do that...'' Said Pratik
'Okay let us do this give me the hotel's number...'' Said Simmi and Pratik obliged
Simmi took her phone and began dialing as a now completely drunk Pratik looked at her
'Hey, I am calling from Iyer Technologies and there has been a breach in one of the offices. I need to talk to someone. I was given this number and was asked to find their systems administrator through this number... She is Priya Kapoor...'' Said Simmi and Pratik sat up mouthing for her to put it on loudspeaker
'Oh... hang on a minute... Let me redirect you to her room. She was expecting this call...'' Said the receptionist
They waited for a few seconds before the man answered saying
'Hello...''
'Uhh is this Priya Kapoor's room...'' Said Simmi
'Who is asking...'' Said the man
'A friend who are you...'' Said Simmi and she could see Pratik was melting with envy and jealousy
'Arav who are you...'' he said and Pratik took the phone hanging up
'What...'' Said Simmi
'I can't believe. She ...'' Said Pratik
'What... Is that a bad thing...'' Said Simmi BUT Pratik just got up and grabbed his keys
'Pratik... Pratik ...'' Called Simmi as she went after him
Hold on...'' She said as she took it from him
He was too drunk to think straight, too angry because his ego had been bruised too jealous to be sane because the one person who should have been with him was not someplace else with someone else. If Aarav was there it could only mean she was with Abhishek and if that was the case then
Pratik... My god you are scaring me what is it...'' Said Simmi who couldn't understand his demeanor
Pratik turned and looked at Simmi and as much as he wanted to be strong and be a man and not act like some little heartbroken teenager, he was so drunk to try and too exhausted to try all he wanted to do was just drown. So he fell apart. Simmi took him in her arms pulling him in as he broke down and she felt bad that he had to go through all this.
She knew that he was vulnerable, she knew he was hurting and most importantly she also knew that he was drunk. She should have done what a friend would do and made sure once he was okay she walked away and moved on but she didn't
The longer he took in her arms, the more he became weak that by the time he pulled away, all sense of logic had gone out the window. When he got out of her hold, his lips slightly brushed her and instead of pulling away, he stayed there, feeling her breath on his skin and his on hers. Before you knew it, they were making out, and leaving a trail of clothes behind as they made it to his room turning that night into one that would tear then apart
'You cannot seriously continue blaming me for that Pratik and stop making me feel guilty for whatever happened. I wanted us to talk about it but when I woke up you had left... ' Said Simmi
'Yes I did and you know why I had...'' Said Pratik
'What are you talking about? We never talked about anything. You left a freaking note for goodness's sake. I felt like some cheap wh**e...'' Said Simmi
'Oh please...I could barely remember what happened that night...'' Pratik began
'Don't... Do not even go there. You remember plenty the only reason you pretend is because I told you how I felt about you after that... That is why you are freaking out...'' Said Simmi
'I was drunk and angry I didn't want to know anything about feelings. You just blurted it out...'' Said Pratik
'Blurted it out... Really ... You can't even say it to me... I am in love with you Pratik... That is just a statement of fact that I can't help and I was tired of pretending I didn't feel that way...'' Said Simmi
'Why did you say it...?'' Said Pratik
'Because I was done pretending and the only reason you are angry at me is because you feel something too but you are afraid of hurting your little girl Priya in there...'' Said Simmi
'Don't talk about her like that and that is not true'' Said Pratik
'Is that so... I tell you I love you, you wage world war three on me like I committed a crime. All I wanted is for you to give me a chance to show you but...'' Said Simmi
'Oh... Ho...'' Said Pratik scoffing as he shook his head
'The only reason I all of a sudden have so much importance to you is because someone else has me and you can't fathom that. You can't have me and now you are so much in love with me. Where was all this love when I pleaded for you to give me a chance? I loved you and waited and waited for you for close to 8 years Simmi and nothing... now all for a sudden you are in love with me...'' Said Pratik
'Pratik please believe me I probably didn't even...'' Said Simmi
'No... The only reason you say you love me is because you are alone now and that freaks you out. Now am like that thrill... but I will not be that... I care about her way too much for me to lose her. So I am going to fight for her because she is the one that I love...'' Said Pratik
'That is not fair... If you love her so be it but stop making its sound like I am the bad guy. You slept with me and I am not some wh**e that I go around sleeping with any man who cares to give me attention and you know that...'' Said Priya tears welling in her eyes
'The fact that you're this mad at me only means that you do feel something and that is what is scary for you because with Priya everything is predictable and with me, you don't know what to do...'' She added
'Oh please get off your high horse...'' He said
'And just for the record, there are a few things I regret but that night is never going to be one of them. Just because you angry at me, it won't change how I feel because the truth is I really do love you...'' Said Simmi
'Why now... why after eight years Simmi... Why now...'' Said Pratik
'Because...'' Simmi began but
'Hey you won't believe...'' Said Raman interrupting them as he joined them
'Whoa... Are you two alright...? Did I just walk into a fight?'' Said Raman
'I will see you later Raman excuse me...'' Said Pratik as he turned leaving angrily
'Oh Go... Simmi what the hell did you do?'' Said Raman
'I didn't do anything, why does everyone assume I am doing something wrong...'' Said Simmi irritated
'Okay am sorry I asked...'' Said Raman turning as he asked
'Where is Romi'' He added
'I don't know...'' Yelled Simmi
'Oh My God ... What is up with you'' Said Raman
'Can we just leave...'' Said Simmi irritated as she turned getting into the car
I am not even going to ask'' Said Raman talking to himself
'Are you coming or not...'' Yelled Simmi
'Okay Okay...'' Said Raman as he got into the car
Back Inside, it was all business and Ishita was more than ready for whatever drama the Raghavs were planning. This was the actually reason why she had her Lawyer and Mr. Kapoor around as well as the Mohlotras. They needed to put all this uncertainty to rest. They walked in noting there were couple of Board members from some of their other business and Mr. Iyer knew this was going to be a long day
'Shall we begin then...'' Said Ishita as they all took their seats
'Okay... Uhhh I received a letter from your Lawyer, Mr. Iyer and you were asking for proprietary shares that you feel are owed to you given the years of service...'' Said Ishita's lawyer
'Well yes, and also I think he has earned the right...'' Raina began but Ishita cut her off
'Uhh... No he hasn't ...'' She said
'What...'' Said Riana
'He was an employee of Iyer Technologies and I believe he was earning a salary, very good one at that so this company doesn't owe him anything. He benefits will be given to him because we are laying him off other than that...'' Ishita said
'Hang on a minute... What do you mean laying him off...'' Said Mr. Iyer
'Oh yeah, Sorry... Uhh the direction this company is taking I am sorry we shall not need your services anymore...'' Said Ishita
'What nonsense...'' Said Abhimanyu but Mr. Iyer looked at his daughter and a smile crept up his face
'Ishita you can't do this...'' Said Raina
'It is Ms. Shergill to you...'' Said Ishita
'This is ridiculous... Mr. Kapoor... We have been working...'' Abhimanyu began
'Sorry Son but this not my company... So I have no say...'' Said Mr. Kapoor
'Ishita... Your father has given everything he had to make sure that this company stayed on top. The reason you so comfortably seat in that chair high and mighty is because he made sure when you took over it would be ready for you...'' Said Raina
'When I took over, really...'' Said Ishita shaking her head
'Okay... We are not going to solve anything by going around in circles...We need...'' Said Mihika
'You opinion is so irrelevant in this scenario. You have no idea. What are you even doing here?'' Said Abhimanyu
'Oh brother... And yours is...?'' Said Mihika looking at Abhimanyu
'I am Abhimanyu Raghav Iyer... This is Iyer Technologies...'' Said Abhimanyu and Mihika looked at him before she began laughing
'You know how desperate that sounds...'' Said Mihika
'Okay that is enough... We came here to put a few things right so let us have at that and stop all this childishness...'' Said Mr. Mohlotra
'Okay... Uhh there are going to be a few changes in this company because I feel comfortable working the people in trust. Mr. Mohlotra, Mihika, Shlok will be replacing Mr. Iyer, Ms. Raina and Abhimanyu respectively...'' Said Ishita
'You can't do that... The board cannot... You can't possibly think this is alright...'' Said Riana as had turned looking at the board members
'We already had a talk with them and we all believe that this company isn't fulfilling its potential. Plus they believe in my mother's vision and I intend on bringing it to life. That code that has eluded you all these years ...'' Said Ishita looking at Abhimanyu
'I know how to crack it. I have always known because my mother and I created it together. We are going to make history and in order for me to do this, I need to make sure I am surrounded by people I know I can trust and also my family...'' Said Ishita
'Is... You can't... I am going to sue you...'' Said Raina
'You're allowed it is your constitutional right... But I wouldn't do that if I were you...'' Said Ishita's lawyer
'Why aren't you saying anything'' Said Raina as he looked at her husband
'Anjali really taught you about phoenix...'' Said Mr. Iyer as he looked at Ishita ignoring Raina
'Yeah... She did... She always taught me how to work it...'' Said Ishita as she looked at her father
'Does it really work... I mean did she manage to crack it. I mean is it fully... Oh God... That is why you had the Alt isn't it...'' Said Mr. Iyer but Ishita just looked at him and didn't say anything
'Oh My God...'' He said completely impressed and it was evident
'Okay what are you talking about...'' Said Abhimanyu
'It is...'' Said Mr. Iyer looking at Ishita before he said
'Nothing... I can't tell you that because it is top secret...''
'What nonsense...'' Said Raina but at that point much to everyone's shook, Mr. Iyer didn't want to fight anymore
He was a very proud father in that moment and he was more than happy with stepping down as his daughter made history. It hurt that he was never going to be a part of that but he knew that was his late wife's dream and contrary to what everyone thought, he cared enough about her to know that this was Anjali's legacy and he would not stand in the way of that.
'Okay...'' He suddenly said
