THE KNIGHT'S DOLL

26. MINE!

Hey guys, first of all I apologize for being late...💐

But there wasn't a day I wasn't writing after well 01 June...

It's just that sometimes we need time to ARRANGE & RESHUFFLE the story... that was what I was doing all these days... I threw 2 chapters I wrote in hours to trash, & edited this one for at least five days...

This chapter could be extended to THREE CHAPTERS by my wordy self if I didn't take this time, for it involves vivid pictures, vivid moods, vivid descriptions, which took me all this time...

I know you might be taking it for some SICK EXCUSE, but trust me on this, I can't sleep without nightmares if I don't write, so writing I can't leave, & well I was writing all these days... But I didn't know it'll take me this long to come up with the chapter... Hope you will appreciate my efforts, to decrease this chapter into one, & will enjoy it... Love you patient beings!❤️

Ishana sat silently at her place, occasionally glancing at her Boss to whom clung his bitch, that Divya!

Mrs. Khurana spoke at times to that Divya along with Aisha, who also talked to Ishana at times, but not much, understanding the scene of Ishana.

Aisha, being a lady in love could understand the scene of Ishana well, knowing well the pain her hazel eyes held... Aisha too had experienced the same pain...

A woman is born strong, born to bear pain, the physical pain of menstruation, of childbirth among others, the mental torture society inflicts upon her with it's conservatism, it's judgements, it's unfairness, the emotional sufferings that her lover, her family, her close ones give her, but yet the ache even she can't bear is a heartbreak... & what can hurt more than seeing one's love with another woman?

Aisha felt really poor for Ishana who tried masking her emotions, as Vidhi, getting bored of the place got up & went to her friends at the bar.

Soon Vivaan & Aisha also got on the stage, while Ishana was left with empty seats around her, her eyes burning at the site of that bitch clinging to her Boss, though she yet didn't know what she was feeling this much of hurt for. It was his personal life, right? He could do all he wants, but yet she felt hurt, burn, she felt cheated, she felt like loosing it all!

While Divya enjoyed the state of Ishana & continued adding petrol to the inferno erupting within her body, as the Knight watched it all, coldly, silently, his poker face betraying no emotions, no thoughts, nothing... Even a robot is better at expressing it's programme than this mechanical, calculated man, thought Ishana!

She knew not why did he have to bring her here with him, present her to the media risking her life, only to ditch her like this & leave her to be taunted & humiliated by his bitch Divya!

But she could somehow see his disinterest even in Divya. He just welcomed her & later on ignored all her all ministrations. Ishana couldn't get the motive of this devilish man at all!

The lights of the hall diminished with dimming of the huge chandelier, the only source of light in the huge circular hall along with candles, as the flashlights were casted on the stage, where stood three people, a man & two women representing the Khurana enterprises, the Lee corporations of Mr. Lee, the Aslan corporations of that Ali, whose share he stole from his brother Azeez, while Vivaan & Aisha were settled on the couches asides on the stage.
