BEHADD

Atthaees

Mere hisse ki khushi ko hasi ko

Tu chahe aadha kar
Chahe lele tu meri zindagi
Par yeh mujhse waada kar

Uske ashkon pe gamon pe dukhon pe
Har uske zakham par
Hak mera hi rahe har jagah har ghadi
Haan umr bhar

Rudra 

A week had passed since I kissed her, since we had a conversation. Except the usual business matters, we didn't talk. Whenever she was alone with me... She kept mum. I didn't force her like before either, I wanted to give her space.

But I could only give it for too long before I lose it.

Dhruv did suspect my change in personality since she became my assistant but didn't say anything, though I saw him giving me some hints. It wouldn't be long before she comes in the limelight of my mafia world, I couldn't hide her forever.

There are many who want me dead, many who want the worst for me, many who want to see me weak... But before her there was no chance. But now they have got a target.

"Boss..", Dhruv asked while I was busy thinking about the ways I could deal with rivals.

"Yes", I get up from my seat and leave my office where Tripti was doing her work silently.

I never had a conversation with Dhruv infront of her, that was probably the first reason for her doubting me. The second must be Dhruv's appearance, he was good looking but he has scars on his face. One was too deep, from his upper eyebrow to his cheek.

She was shit scared the first time she saw him. I could still hear her shriek. Uh.

"Boss the people in the gala were informed not to capture your dance and we had murdered Geovani after the event but...", He stated.

Geovani was a spy, the spy of Italian Mafia. The rival of the other Italian mafia we have allied to. He was no good news, although no one had invited him I knew his reason for coming. Too bad he's six feet under now.

Or should I say... Deep under the Arabian sea.

"But?"

"He had mailed a picture of you with Miss to his boss and hidden the phone. We got a threat from them this morning, here", he handed me a letter.

Here we go...

"Mr. Rudra,

Bianchi Mafia was a better option when it came to making allies, but you chose the Mancini instead. We could've been a good team, we can be still. You just have to sign an alliance treaty with us and break your bonds with Mancini.

By the way, the girl in the photo looks pretty, Won't you mind if I had her fo-"

I couldn't read the letter further. I should've been more careful! 

He's so fucking dead. 

Threatening me? He must be an ameture. No one messes with me. His rival is one of my allies, I have hundreds of them in different nations... Doesn't matter, what matters is this low life thinks he can threaten me.

"Dhruv"

"Yes Boss"

"What's your age?", I ask him. Though I know his age I just want him to know the seriousness of my mission.

"Twenty three, Boss"

"You were in this business since the age of seventeen, right?"

" Yes boss"

" Do you fear death?"

" No Boss", ask anyone in my mafia they would say the exact same.

"I'm assigning you a mission.", I declare and he nods.

"Go to Italy tomorrow, pay my friend a visit and the rest you know"

" Sure Boss"

Though it sounded simple it wasn't. Italy was divided in two territories one of Bianchi and one of Mancini, I signed alliance with Mancini because Bianchi traded women that I was against of. Moreover Mancini got quite power advantage in international business.

The side I was asking Dhruv to go to was dangerous. Bianchi would have appointed extra security around his mansion and I doubted he would go anywhere outside within a few days.

It was a tough job. We would get hell from Mancini but the mission had to be done undercover and that too by him alone. I had done things like these in my early twenties .... It made you tough. It was a good opportunity for him, either he would succeed or would die.

If he dies, I'll have to go on a war with Bianchi that I'm avoiding because it'll just taint my reputation in mafia world. 

"Good. Your tickets will be sent to you and I'll give Mancini your contact number"

With that I ask him to leave and I get back to my office.

"No one in corporate job calls their boss " boss", it's either sir or Mr. So why your this secret employee always calls you boss?", It came as a shock to me to hear something sassy coming from her but I was happy nonetheless.

"Well... It ain't a crime to call their boss " boss""

"Uh! Whatever! I shouldn't have asked. You are annoying!"

"I am happy that you are back to normal"

" Mr. Rudra nothing is normal between us."

" I'd like to think otherwise Ms. Tripti"

" Your employee doe-"

" Enough about him, tell me about yourself"

" Me? "

" Yes you, are you free tonight? "

" Why? "

" Go on a date with me? "
