Where My Heart Belongs

Chapter 57 " The Singh Oberoi's Gardener"

Meanwhile

Arjun clutched on the chair hand in anger as he hearing Jhanvi singing in the kitchen and all his feeling was how he feels furious of what she wrote, her words to Surbhi, calling his action betrayal and the gardener that she called as her savior from apparently "the miserable life" she used to live He took a deep breath to calm himself and continue reading

Sardar: I am sorry but the last time I heard a girl call herself princess, I was in kinder garden and I called myself Spiderman

I looked at him with wide angry eyes as he put his hand over his lips to hold his chuckle .

I said: you are making fun of me How dare you, gardener?

Sardar smile lessened and said: I was only joking, didn't mean to offend you I am sorry(then he reached with his hand and said) ma'am, let me help you out

I said angrily: DON'T TOUCH ME

His smile vanished and raised his hand as I tried to get myself out as Kamini came running and said

Kamini: Jhanvi? What happened?

I wiped my tears angrily looking at him as he looked at me with his big black eyes, as if he looking in my eyes for something or trying to tell me something and part of me tried as much to deny how I brought all my sadness and anger on him But I felt something unpleasant driving my action, I didn't know what it is !! I didn't try to know what his eyes begging me not to do !!

I said: that boy is shameless and undisciplined like you said, look what happened to me because of him

Kamini looked at my shoes as he looked at me with wide eyes and said

Sardar: why are you so rude to me? I apologized to you, I asked if you are okay and I offered you help? What more you want from me? I was just doing my job, this hole so I can plant, I am the gardener but you were the one who was not paying attention

I said shocked: I am rude? HOW DARE YOU

But I stopped seeing an old woman coming from the wooden house with a chair on wheels and looking worried as Sardar looked at her then looked at me with the look " please stop"

Kamini said angrily: I don't know why my brother keeping you and your mother here till now You should be out of here and in the street . apologize right now or I swear to god you will be fired Don't you know who she is?

Sardar looked at Kamini angrily then looked at his mother who her hand was shivering and he looked at me and said in low tone

Sardar: I am sorry, ma'am

I nodded faintly as I wanted to scream it's all my fault, you weren't wrong, I am really sorry but I remained silent, convincing myself that I deserve this apology and he deserve to say it and that is the end of this bad situation and it can't get worse I was wrong

Kamini nodded her head and said: good, now clean her shoes

I looked at Kamini with wide eyes but didn't say a word as he chuckled from the shock and said

Sardar: you got to be kidding me NO NOO that is it if you want to fire me, fine But I am not cleaning anyone shoes

Kamini: fine then, you are fired; you have 20 minutes to leave our property or we will throw you out

The woman started crying loudly and Sardar looked at her with pleading eyes and shook his head hard

Sardar: no ma, I can't not this
