His first wife-a curse or a boon

Chapter 12

Khushi's POV

Various gasps could be heard from the surroundings hearing me....I could witness the terror filled faces of the people who just some minutes before were ranting ill about me and my family...

My eyes involuntarily subsided to the side to witness a horror striken face of my so called family whose mind seemed to have blown off from the minute piece of information.....

" You can't do this to us...we had been working for this company since a long time ago...and you can't just ruin our career just in a fraction of a second...." Mr Prateek retorted back bringing my gaze back to his not so confident form......I could feel his voice trembling without his own consent making him vulnerable in front of others...

Though he had been trying to put on a brave face in front of others...I knew he had been shocked to the core...with my sudden demeanor...and it was quite usual on his part since he had always witnessed me as a weak personality...bowing my head in front of everyone ...irrespective of any fault or mine or not......

"Well...mr Aggarwal...that's what you are rewarded with for disrespecting your boss and questioning their capacity...." I answered him in an everly calm demeanor...and I could feel his shoulder tensing at the sight.......

Before he could speak further i interrupted "Well...another thing to be mentioned.....Mrs Kashvi Malhotra will be taking over as the COO of our company replacing Mr. Aviyukt Sunghania....." and a series of gasps escaped from the people around......

I looked on to my side ...to witness my mumma having a proud smile on to her face while my Kash di...stopped their lost in her own track....and I knew she was baffled on the sudden announcement....

I knew she wasn't welcoming any such offer...but I always knew...that she wanted to persue a job...so as to be self dependent....but rewarded by her broken family and a unhealthy atmosphere of her family... couldn't make it up to her dreams....and so overshadowing all her aspirations to be in the business world she headed to marry .....and even after her marraige even though her husband has always been supportive towards her but ....responsibilities kicked into her life ....as she being the oldest daughter in law of our family......

I gave a heart blown smile to her but in return got to notice a whole some tensed sight of di...clearing my insight that some thing was bothering her to the core....was it the circumstantial pressure she had been receiving from the family lately or the wholesome terror of resuming her dreams in to some thing truly real...was the reason of her anxious demeanor......

" You can't do this to me...you can't just suddenly kick me out of my own company just because you are being over rated with some powers which you definetly dont deserve to get..." my elder brother shouted on my face making me come back from my oceans of thought to the hash reality of my life.....

Closing my eyes...trying to regain and compose myself in to a shield....I looked towards my brother boring holes in to him....

This was my same brother...who couldn't even tolerate a single ounce of tears in my eyes....my father had always treated me like a plague....ignoring me at every instant of my life....and thus after my dadu left me...he had been like a father to me....protecting me from every small pain of my life......he had been like my father...who had been my protector in every situation ....however large...

And now today we are here .......before I could again lose my composed self and drown into a ocean of self pity and disappointment.....I looked away trying to regain my somewhere disappearing strength........

" Well..mr Aviyukt Singhania...it was your father who had already mentioned that you all would be leaving the company....if I overtook the company.....and so being the right holder of the company...
I have decided to hand over the reputational post to one of most trustworthy and deserving person I know....." I uttered .....making his eyes...burn in fury...his demeanor was enough to make me realise its peak of anger........

Unable to withhold his burning fury...he broke the glass of water placed on the conference table...making it shatter into pieces...just like our relation.....

His hands started bleeding on account of the forceful collision...and I knew that it was nothing compared to the anger he had towards me....but this was indeed necessary...

Though my heart pained at the sight...and i knew i couldn't be able to hold my strong facade self ....I uttered in an ordering tone..." Enough for today.....I need some time to revisit the employees...list to have a check on whom to keep and whom to not.....so please move aside....."

Somewhere I could feel someone really intense gaze burning holes in to my direction as if reding me like some unread open pages of books...and truly I didn't need to look in that direction to understand the source of that strong gaze......but inspite of knowing the person by Hut...I felt so unfamiliar so distant....as if our togetherness never existed......

With furious looks everyone left the room except mumma and kashvi di...who knew that I needed some time only to be myself....Putting onto a brave face is not easy....especially in front of those whom you love...who had been your reason of living.......

Loving hurts .....so does tearing your self respect....but how do we feel when the love you considered a part of your pride and self respect is behind of tearing your self esteem???

Is that still remains just a pain...or it gets even way beyond it.......

As the footsteps subsided...indicating everyone's departure from the room....i slipped into the cold floor welcoming the turmoil inside me......but unlike...myself ....not even a single tear escaped my eyes....

Was I really getting successful into turning a emotionless being.....finally....

With these variable thoughts subsiding my other abilities.....my hands involuntarily roam around the cold floor and finally settled on to a piece of memory ...The corner of my heart.....

Helloooo guys...
Hope so you all remember me....

I had been really inactive I know but promising regular updates from now on...

Thank you Crazy_imagines for helping me through the situation where I felt really too low.....
