Her Piercing Gaze

11

Khushi's POV

It was Mr. Agarwaal on top of another girl. That too my ex-best friend shruti

I was fuming but I took a few breaths and calmed down first. Learning to control our emotions is the first thing we were trained in.

I walk in on them and see Mr. Agarwaal helping Shruti up.

They both see me and move away from each other.

"Khushi, I can explain" Shruti stammers out but I couldn't handle it.

"Get out"I say calmly

She doesn't move.

"Shruti get out, please don't make me do something I'll regret later"

She ran out.

I look at Mr. Agarwaal. He had a guilty expression on his face which was starting to make me angry again.

"Look Khushi, about what you saw-"He starts saying but I interrupt him

"Not now Mr. Agarwaal, we'll talk about it in the morning. I'm really angry right now and I really don't want to do anything stupid. Also it's Ms. Khanna"

"But we're married"

"Only on paper" I say and then storm out dramatically

Breath khushi come on just breath.

I can't. It hurts too much. Too many memories. Too many hurtful words coming back all at once.

"Help"I whisper knowing no one can hear me

I stumble out of the house and somehow make it to the only place that calms me down.

The dance studio. The place I grew up in.

Just the feel of the place started to calm me down.

I decided to dance for a while. For those memories. For me. For my brother.

I keep dancing. I fall but I do it again and again. I dance till the sun rises and my legs can't keep me up anymore.

I sigh and lie down on the floor.

"If you stay on the floor too long, you'll catch a cold"I hear Kabir sir say.

I sit up and see him leaning on the door frame.

"How did you know where I was?"

"Jai called saying he saw you running out the house. Want to talk about it?"

"No. I'll be fine but I better get moving, I have work to do and conversations to have"

"Okay, come on let's go get some ice cream and then I'll take you back"

"Thanks"

"By the way what happened to your face?"

Time Skip

Kabir sir and I went inside the house which was eerily silent. I did not have a good feeling about this.

I make my way to talk to Mr. Agarwaal while Kabir sir talks to the others to diffuse the situation.

I knock on our door and hear him say "come in"

"Toh Mr. Agarwaal kal ke baare me baat kare"Immediately jumping into the deep end.

(so shall we talk about yesterday?)

"Khushi, I swear there's nothing going on between us, she's an employee at my company and saw us together and came here and and"

"First its Ms. Khanna and I know but why was she here so late"

"She came around 11.30 for some reason and kept saying you were in danger or something like that"

"Okay, I guess that's it for what happened last night. Now onto more important things. I need to know about all your business dealings with the Saxena's."

"Wait, you're not mad?"

"Mr. Agarwaal, we're not in a proper relationship for me to be mad at you"

He just nods kind of looking hurt.

"Chalo ab office ke liye tyaar ho jao, aaj hum dono ko jaana hain"

(come on get ready for office. Both of us have to go today)

He leaves to get ready but I keep wondering about Shruti.

How did she know about me being in danger? Is she a spy working for the Saxena's? Or did she hear from someone.

This is now another thing on my list of stuff to find out. *Sigh*
