"and only when the door I love most in the world was closed on my face, I muster up my courage to break open the doors I never realized I had in the option list".
the familiar scent, the familiar rhythm of walking, the familiar voice from which she once used to love to hear her name again, and again and over again, the person who was once her everything the one whom she can still recognize from the crowd, from million voices, from million touches from million smell, the only difference is that she recognized his true self after she became blind because when she could see he make her blind in her love couple with her lost sense only his presence in the room makes things a lot difficult for her and she hated her body to still have such effect in his presence the person she hates most in the world who left her when she needed him more than anything in the world
'oh I see you have a guest, dad "
his voice still holding the calmness and stability it use to hold 7 years ago, Mr Malhotra slightly laugh at this and he might be shaking his head in no also
"i just had an important business to talk with her, but she is not guest she came here more often than you son in law'
he replied calmly
"ok i take my leave sir then , please update me with the address and mail me rest of the details , i will provide you with solution as fast as i can'
she replied maintaining her professionalism hiding the fact that she recognised who he is "
sir someone is here to meet you, maid interrupted
'but i am already in a meeting , as you can see'
'sir its your daughter's secretary here to show you something '
'oh no wait here for a while , i need to see her urgently, ganga send snacks for them , i had to discuss something else with you, I'll be just backing a 5 minute , raj accompany her in my place, don't leave Devika ok"
and he leave at fast steps with maid following him, Devika felt as if someone makes her stand in the mid of fire , she was thanking her blindness that she has not to see him but it was not of much help somehow she can still feel his gaze burning on her face
he took a step closer to her and touch her arm
"its me devika i know you recognise me, raj your raj"
she shake his hand from her arm and take a step back, she was quite familiar with the house structure of Mr Malhotra and she didn't need anyone's assistance to take steps
"i am sorry sir, i think you should keep your distance from me '
she cleared her throat and her intentions
'oh please stop acting all professional Devika, you know that i still love you and i know you too can't forget me, i don't understand why you are working so hard even after your conditions"
wow he even becomes more shameless now she thought to herself
'because things didn't work out for me 7 years ago after that accident in which my parents , my eyes and the person i used to love most in the world died , that's why i have to work sir to take care of myself cause unlike you i am not quite skilled on living my life on other's money
"oh please Devika I am still alive how can you say that love of your life is dead, i am standing just a few steps afar form you and he tries to get her hands in his, so what if you can't see me , i can see you and belive me your beauty didn't diminish an inch from 7 years
"no sir the person i loved died along with my parents cause when i needed him he betrayed me owing to my blindness or you can say he became blind in front of someone else 's rich status he left me in hospital and marry someone while i was still in ICU
she again shake his hand and tried to fix her eyes at his face although she couldn't spot where he is actually standing
'do you really have to make such a scene , yeah you are right i marry her just for money , what you wanted me to do? marry you ? and starve with you on the streets, i and you both were young with nothing , how was i supposed to say no to her if she was giving me a bright future, but see me now , now i can take care of you, and he put a strand behind her ear but she slapped his hand from her face
she felt disgusted under his touch
'so come to me, a women as beautiful as you don't need to work specially when you get a man like me on your side"
" oh really, what you think will happen if i handover the recording of our conversation to your wife and to Mr Malhotra ,
and she pulled her phone out of her pocket which was on recording mode
and his eyes popped at the scenerio
' i can recommend her good divorce lawyer, once she left you , you will not be left with penny, i think you should be thinking about taking care of yourself than me, if you are forgetting i am lawyer and i am always speak with evidences in my hands
he tried to snatch her phone from her but before he could reach her hand she dodge him and swing his arm in the air fold it at his back and pushed him on the floor he winced from pain
'i am the one who become blind but seems you become disable from mind, did you forget that i used to be a judo player in school , you should know sir after all we studied together for 12 years, my blindness only sharpen my skills cause now i don't have to look at the faces of looser like you and can show you the face of ground with just your slightest movement , dare you to touch me again
she heard someone's footsteps and leave his arm, and stand straight again shoving her phone in her pocket
"what are you doing on the floor'
'mr Malhotra asks as soon as her enter the room
"he drop something sir may be was picking it up'
raj nod his head
"i need to do something ,sorry I'll meet you later
he tried to disgust his voice more with a mixture of fake calmness and extra sweetness
he said and get his ass out of the room
