My Abstruse Love

The New Knock

Awan's POV:

       I'm desperate to know how the presentation went. I know this time the presentation is far better than the last one. Hope he come home with a good news. I'm not able to concentrate on any thing. My mind is totally occupied with Ms. Dev's thoughts. She is tough. I don't think she'll let Karthik pass that easily. If she'll get to know that he have fallen for his employee, definitely she would sue him. I'm in my thoughts when the door bell rang. The maid went and opened the door. There came my man with a tired look. But why is his face so dull?
      

"What's up bro? So dull? Didn't Diya come to your sight today?" I teased to lighten up his mood. But no response. I tried again.

       "Why is your face like a barren land like every farmer refused  to cultivate the crop?" I said again to make him speak. Now I'm totally irritated. First with this cold & fever. Next with this idiot.

       "Speak up guy." I yelled. I think he is effected by my words. He lifted his head finally. He left a heavy sigh and started.

       "Ms. Dev have declined this deal." He said looking at me.

       "What but why? Isn't our presentation good?  Wait, did you do something which irked her? " I asked all irritated.

       "What? Do you feel that I have roamed around Diya like a love sick puppy ignoring the presentation? And now shut up and listen. Ms. Dev have declined this because she expected you to be there. She waited but you didn't show up. After completing my presentation she simply declined saying that she don't want to push her company in losses with a careless CEO like you." He said in one go irritatedly.

      "You are kidding. Right Karthik?" I asked chuckling nervously.

       " What? Do you think I'm kidding in a situation like this? Why would I lie to you idiot?" He yelled. I didn't show up that doesn't mean I'm careless. For God's sake I'm sick. Does she even know that? I quickly asked "Does she know that I'm sick?" I asked.

       "No and she was not ready to listen any of my excuses. You know  Awan, for the first time in my life I felt nervous infront of her. She resembled a lioness. I'm scared. But I gave the best presentation." He said.

       "It's OK. Leave about that deal. If not this deal we may get another one. I trust you and your efforts." I said to boost him.

       "It's OK and you are just like Diya. She is so cute and understanding. And a shocking news for you." He said as if he have found something interesting as well as shocked.

       "What?" I asked with curiosity.

       "Ms. Dev and Diya are best friends." He said.

       "Ohhhh..... Sounds interesting. One thing is amusing me. Diya is sweet and soft but Ms. Dev, she is more like an introvert." I said.

       "Yeah bro."He said and we thought to leave that topic.

       We are talking about the things going on in office, suddenly Karthik's phone rang. He fished it out and talked for few minutes.
       He came to me and jumped in my lap. I squealed at his sudden act.

       "Ahhh.... What happened idiot? Uptill now you are sad and suddenly you are jumping like a monkey." I asked him.

       "The new deal knocked our door Awan." He yelled happily.

       "What are you talking about Kaaaaaarrrrrthiiiikkkkk and who is it?" I asked him tiredly.

        "It's Mr. Singhania. He wanna offer our company a deal. We have to work on it seriously. We can't lose this at any chance." He said determined.

       I nodded and decided to rest. Once I recover I'll meet him personally. I'm glad that that got this chance. But Ms. Dev's have set many records in the business empire. Why not for her why for me? I'll get clarified all my doubts once I get rid of these cold and fever. He may have his reasons to give me this deal. With this thoughts I dozed off into sleep. The medicines are effecting too much.

With love ♥️
