Broken Yet Beautiful

Realising the feelings

The next day Vihaan left for the office. That too in a tracksuit and jelled hair. People around were giving him strange look. But the reaction wasn't that strong since the last time. Since they knew Vansh sir had been bitten by a mad dog and he lost it. Plus, this crazy version of him was sweeter and profitable for them. In the past, he used to fire any employee at anytime over any matter, shout and insult them, cut off the salary. They were actually praying that he remained crazy for the entire period of his life.

As per his order, Angrey had managed a meeting with the rivals. The persons present there were looking peculiarly at the creature peeling bananas and eating them swirling in his chair like a baby.

"I am selling you forty percent of my companies share at the half of its actual rate."

He said grabbing another banana.

"Are you kidding with us?You the great VRS wants to pave path for your own loss or it's a trap for us?"

"The papers are ready. You can crosscheck them."

"This will cost you a huge loss. May we know why are you doing this to your very own company? Your hard work from the past years all will go in vain. You will lose your position."

"I have denounced the materialistic world and planning to go Himalaya to meet Chimkandi Baba!"

  Hearing his reason, they nodded heads at each other thinking Vansh Rai Singhania had lost it and signed the papers. Miss Nina came up with a mug, "Sir, here is your Horlicks! "

She was finding it strange that the man who drunk gallons of coffee was drinking Horlicks like a child. He looked at her and said in a seductive voice, "I like the colour of your lipstick."

She blushed and replied, "It's peach sir, thanks."

"Peach, I like peach. One minute, " He got up and rubbed the corner of her lips. She was awestruck for a moment before he said, "The lipstick was smeared................... "

She was apparently seduced by his sexy moves. This was the first time he seemed like a chocolate boy otherwise he was a dick earlier.

When Vihaan returned home his father approached him with a smiling face.

"Vansh, I was thinking about Ridhima's baby shower."

"We should consult Ridhima beforehand. What if she isn't willing to hold any kind of ceremony like that? "

Ridhima heard it from the kitchen. When they were alone in the room, she said,"I don't have any problem."

"About what?"

"Baby shower. I am so excited for it. Aren't you?It's our baby Vansh............."

She placed his hand on her stomach Vihaan didn't replied. He felt unease at the thought when Ridhima would be confronted about his reality. She was a sweetheart and he had no intention to hurt.

"As a kid I was like a flute. Sweet and melodious. Time went by but I am still like the flute. Hollow and punctured."

She said at his silence. He noticed her eyes glinting at the end.

"You look like an emoticon."

"Probably that's why people use me more often!"

The chat turned silence.

"Why do you get emotional on little things?You are an idiot to cry over the past when you have a beautiful present."

"Vansh are you making fun of my conditions? I wasn't allowed to go to school. I was used like a free servant by my family. And then you came to my life. You taught me how to trust people and you were the only one to break it. Vansh........ I just need an answer from you. What was my fault?"

"Please speak Vansh........ You owe me an explanation."

"I- I don't know Ridhima. Please don't ask me again."

He abruptly left the room and called Andy.

"Sorry just saw your message. I'd everything okay? "

"Yes! All okay. You should sleep. It's too late."

"Shut up. Tell me from the beginning. Why are you talking so low?"

"She makes me weak."

"Who?"

"Ridhima.You know,never have I ever felt so emotional over someone's words. When she talks about her problem,I feel like it's my problem too. I can't see her suffering."

"Buddy why are you talking like a lover boy? Are you in love?"

"Stop talking trash. I will leave from here once my final work is completed.I don't want to bind myself in emotions. I am bad at handling them."

"So? What do you want? Leave her with that beast?"

"No. I will never let that happen. I have promises myself I won't let anyone hurt her."

"Why? Your only concern should be on your work. Let her die-"

"What the fuck are you talking about? How can you say so? Do you know her suffering?How can you be so heartless? "

"No, I don't. I was just cross checking you. Just a moment ago you said you are bad at handling emotions. But you want to protect her, you feel her. Finally, the biggest flirt of our college, the number one playboy from the university is in love. Yes Vihaan, you are in love. Your behavior has changed a lot since you went there."

"I will talk to you later."

Vihaan disconnected the phone with a confused look. Was he in love?

"Yes, I am in love with her,truly,madly, deeply."

A smile creeped on his face automatically.

Precap:Ridhima to know Vihaan's reality;Vansh will escape from the basement.
