Part 37

" I want to be enough strong that no word  can affect me."

everyone was on a meeting room, discussing about the matter of fact when suddenly Ayaan's eyes fall on Shizuka's hand which were shivering . then, he notice her face to knew that something was not  going well with her. she was playing with her ring with shivering hand & he got a idea. 

" you didn't take your medicine . did you???" he asked getting her attention.

ring got off from her hand & roll on the floor & stop right in front of Siddharth's foot. when she loses her ring , she started digging her nails on her hand making it bleed. he control his anger by closing his eyes. he hold her hand & signal her not to. Sid had notice this but doesn't find any clue so, think it might be about the deal. the meeting was just about to end, only things need was their signature but seeing her worst condition he didn't had any other choice than interrupt in middle.

"Excuse me guys." all look at him " could you please spare us a minutes. we had something to discuss." he said 

" any problem Mr. Ansari (Aayaan )" asked Sid being little suspicious .

" we need to leave " Aayaan replied." meethi !! after there sign plz collect document to us ."

" It will just take a hour to complete all formalities. you can leave once it done ." kushal said.

" we will do it latter" Aayaan said rudely.

" but...."

"it can wait " Ayaan was about to burst when shizuka hold him & shake her head in no. all knew it was something serious happening there.

"Gentleman's!! just give us some time . we will catch you in a minutes." she hardly can smiles towards BOD member  & they leave. meethi was about to come towards them when Ayaan sudden shout make her scared of the situation. " meethi just leave." he said sternly. vikas & sid was about to say something but sensing the seriousness she stop them. " not now . please everyone leave."  She said. everyone leaved from there.

once they got outside Ayaan hold her shivering body tightly in in embrace & said some sweet words in her ear by patting her hair with one had & one on her waist to hold her. Sid who was the last one to leave saw some glimpse of their closeness. his heart burn in jealousy.

v : how can he talk with you like this ( said in anger )

M : ( she got idea by noticing small blood clot on her hand . she hold her head that how can she forget to give her medicine when Ayaan personally asked her to take care about it. she hold her head & collide her back in  nearest wall ) there might be some urgent work.

s : is everything ok??? ( he asked in serious tone. )

M : ( she nodded ) you guys carry on with remaining work. they will join you latter .

s : but she... ( before he complete his word meethi's word stop him )

M : they just need some privacy ( in a little loud tone ) hope you understand & leave them for a minute. ( all nodded & leave from there as they can sense seriousness in her word. )

K : we will be waiting in my office ( she nodded absence mindly )

Just when she was about to join vikas she got some msg which hold her back. She assure vikas that she was OK & will join with them. She rush towards the gate & got a parcel from delivery boy. He took something from car cabinet as well.

Luckily Ayaan had carried spare medicine for such cases as he knew how forgetful she is when it comes to her health.  He had already order something as he knew this time only tablet couldn't work & He msg meethi to take it from car. He called his dad & inform about her condition he suggested to take extra dose & a painkiller to soothed her headache.

He make her claim & make her sit on the chair. She drank a whole glass of water in one gulp. Her body was little claim. Meethi knock on the door and pass the packet & told him that they will be waiting for them in cabin. He take it with a glare & shut the door which make her flinch. She can understand his feelings so, she doesn't mind on his actions as she was also in fault. Later she join vikas & start reading the contract they had prepared & marked the point which should be changed according to shizuoka.

Aayaan inject some medicine in her spine directly as tablet could take some time to relief. She feel good after medicine start it's work.

" you okay??" he asked where she just nodded. "want to go home"

" no. Let's just finished this. I don't want to meet them regularly." she said & Ayaan nodded in Understanding. She know he is upset of her carelessness so she hold his hand " I'm good. Let's complete.." before she could complete Ayaan put something on her mouth." first have this. Then we will leave. " she made a puppy face but a glare from him & she gulped in one go.  it was the energy drink which he always carry for her. he is such a sweetheart, very caring friend every person should have.

meantime a girl came to ask them ,did they need anything . they asked for a coffee & Siddharth's cabin as they think others will be there. she told them the map & leave from there. they also move towards the cabin which was on the last floor. they saw his name on the door & enter. they got shocked as it was empty. no one was there. They were surprised to see  the beauty of cabin. it was neat & clean . they were about to take a seat when her eyes fall on a big frame which had pic of their engagement. then, she got a memory how she demand him to put it in his office so, that other ladies should know he was already booked. tears fell from her eyes. she was about to touch but a sound make her stunned. 

lady : nooooo. ( in scream & run towards them . she put coffee mug in table )  please ma'am!! don't touch it. boss will not like this. ( they gave her a weird look so, she continue)actually he had a very strict rule that no one is allowed to touch this frame  . he himself used to clean this .he is very possessive about this frame. ( they think that he had put this just for a show but her next word made them confused ) even I heard that many of his PA & cleaner was just fired because of this cause only.

sh : ummm.. mmm. where are they ??? 

l : in kushal sir's romm. do you want me to inform boss .

sh: its ok. can you take us there?

l : ok!! but your coffee???

A: we will have it on our way. ( he gave her a small smile & she loss on him ) excuse me... 

l : ohh sure sure ( she said in embarrassment . where shizuka chuckles make him glare to her.)

A: did you think what other ( his friends ) said was true. ( in her ear )

Sh : that doesn't make any difference.

They leave from there to Kushal's cabin. all look towards them . They all get seated. They talk about the contract . meethi show some point which later Ayaan manage & change some clause. they all sign and seal it. 

later they were discuss about vikas & meethi's wedding when the same lady came and asked for the ring which she found in conference room. 

Sh: its mine. But how can it slip from my finger. ( Aayaan took it from her & made her wear it.)

A: how can you lose it?? ( show some hurt expression when she roll her eyes on his drama )

Z : you guys got married ( all look at them in shocked )
