Part 1
"Please forgive me Liza, I know I had
promised you never to involve Shree's family in this, but I don't have any
money left on me now, how will I take care of our baby? What will I do if he
falls ill? I barely have enough money to feed him for one week more now, and
then we'd be out thrown of this apartment in one month time!" Sakshi said to Liza's
picture hanging on her wall.
"I have no choice but to go and meet
them! And I'm not even breaking your promise, because you mentioned only
Shree's name when you made me promise!
But for Aryan's sake we have to do it!" Sakshi said, and went to pick
Aryan's in her arms and her baby bag and went out.
Elsewhere in the ETF office
"What rubbish is this Neha?" Arjun was
shouting. He had given her a work, but
she hadn't even done it yet, "Agar Shree yahan hota, he would have done it by
now!"
Neha had been very tired lately, since
Shree had gone since last month for vacations, she had been doing so much work,
and like always she was getting scolded everyday. But today it was the maximum she could bare,
she had to do both Rathore and Arjun's sir's works, and so she was bound to be
a bit late.
"Then why don't you bring back Shree,
tell him to end his vacation and return back!" she bellowed back at Arjun, for
one second forgetting she was talking to her senior, and went out of Arjun's
office.
"Just how did she dare?" Arjun said very
angrily.
"She's not wrong Arjun. She has been
doing everything since one month, and she had also my work to do," Rathore said
trying to lower Arjun's anger a bit.
"Where is Shree by the way? He had said
he'd be back in one month, but he's nowehere to be seen!" Rathore asked.
"I really don't know Sam, he called last
week to say he'd like more weeks off, and then not to contact him at all, he's
fine, and then he just disappeared!" Arjun said a bit worried about Shree
also. He wondered what was wrong with
his younger brother, he never was so irresponsible in his life.
He was still pondering on this when he
heard some baby crying in the office.
"Now what's the meaning of this? Who has
brought a baby at work?" he snarled at no one in particular. Both he and Rathore went out of his office,
and were shocked to see a girl trying to calm down a baby who was shouting and
crying at the same time.
Arjun had enough for today, his mood had
been off lately, and now seeing a baby in his office was enough to make him
explode. He strode menacingly towards
that girl.
Sakshi had just got down of the rickshaw,
when Aryan started to scream and cry, "Not now baby," she said while patting Aryan's
back gently.
She took the crying bundle in her arms,
and entered the office, she did try her best to keep the baby silent, but it
seems Aryan didn't want to listen to her.
She was feeling very awkward, when she felt everyone's eyes on her due
to Aryan's tantrum, but what could she do.
She was so busy in talking to Aryan, that she failed to notice someone
approaching her till it was too late.
"What the hell is going on! This isn't a
shelter for god's sake, this is an office! Just make it silent!" Arjun shouted
at the girl, pointing to the baby.
Sakshi just heard someone shouting at
her, she raised her head to give that person a piece of her mind, when she felt
herself looking at the great Arjun himself.
She couldn't take her eyes off him, he was so dashing, and looked far
more better in real than in pictures. "What rubbish are you thinking Sakshi,
don't forget why you are here!" she said to herself.
"I need to speak to you," Sakshi said
with utmost control and confidence, though inside she was feeling so scared
when facing Arjun and his cold and angry face.
"Really, I don't have the time and
leisure to talk to everyone! Unless it's a case" Arjun said insultingly, and
turned to go away.
She tightened her grip on her fingers,
and was going to swear at him, but then thought that she really needed him, so
she had to behave.
"Not even if it concerns Shree," she said
softly.
"Shree!" that name was enough to make
Arjun turn and give a second glance at Sakshi.
He looked at Sakshi and that crying bundle, and something passed in his
mind.
He was going to ask what, when he
realized that everyone was looking at them.
"What are you all looking at! Don't you
have any work?" Arjun barked at everyone.
Everyone returned to their work, though
their eyes and ears were glued to this new unknown girl.
"Just make it shut down a bit," Arjun
said coldly.
"He just awoke, he needs to be fed," Sakshi
said lovingly while caressing Aryan's hair.
"Fine," Arjun said with anger, came close
to her, took Aryan's from her arms, and dumped the baby on Rathore's and said,
"Rathore look after it, we'll be back!"
Sakshi was looking worried leaving Aryan
in a stranger's arms, but she couldn't waste the only opportunity she got to
speak with Arjun. Besides they will
hardly be able to talk with Aryan's crying and making so much noise. She threw one last glance at Aryan, and
followed Arjun to his office.
Arjun didn't even ask her to sit down,
and as soon as he had closed his office's door, he growled at her asking her
what she wanted.
Sakshi thought about how she was going to
tell Arjun the truth about the baby, and not bad-mouth either Shree or even
indirectly her friend Liza. "Bewakoof!
You should have prepared what to tell him," she thought to herself, not knowing
where to start.
Arjun looked at that girl, she looked
worriedly everywhere but at him, he decided to give her a few more minutes to
calm herself, but yet she hadn't even uttered one single word till now. He could hear that baby crying and it was so
irritating to his ears and head.
"Will you talk? Or you can just go out of
this office! I don't have my whole life to wait for you!" Arjun shouted at her
finally.
She raised her worried and scared eyes
towards him, for one second something in her eyes made him feel guilty of the
way he was being rude with her, but right then he heard the baby shouting even
more loudly.
"Get the hell away, and take that thing
with you if you don't have anything to say!" Arjun growled at her.
Sakshi was very angry now at the way
Arjun was treating her and calling Aryan, she didn't even think twice before
shouting back, "That thing, like you have been calling him since earlier, is
your nephew! Mind your language!"
Arjun looked with pure disgust at her and
said, "I knew you were going to say something like this when you mentioned
Shree's name! Just how low can one stoop? You are trying to frame my brother!
Do you even know to whom you are speaking?"
"My brother has better taste, and he's
not one to do such things to any girl! You must have led him to such a thing,
and god know's who is the father to that thing out! Who can trust your types of girls!" he said
with disgust and contempt.
"What do you mean by that thing? He's a
baby, not an item to be called it. His
name is Aryan," Sakshi exploded at the man standing in front of her.
"Really? How can I be sure that this baby
is my nephew? And you are not here for money? After all girls of this new
generation have no scruples!" Arjun replied back angrily.
She had never felt so angry and insulted
in her whole life, and thus she couldn't stop herself from giving him a tight
slap for his insulting words.
"I made a big mistake! You are as bad as
your brother! What can one ever expect!" she shouted at him and stormed out of
his office.
The remaining parts coming soon, and with some changes, no PM for this, anyone can read it and refresh the story in their mind😳
