It has been one week, Virender didn't return, but Ishika was missing him badly. She entered the car and said, "do you know where Virender Rajvansh is? Take me there."
"We don't have permission," said Jayesh.
"Jayesh, don't forget, you are working for me," said Ishika and Jayesh thought for some time and stopped the car after half an hour and said, "this is his fencing, if we cross without his permission, they may kill us."
Ishika came out of the car and walked towards the fencing and one bulky man came and stood in front of her and she looked at him with wide eyes and said, "I came here to meet Virender."
"He is in the meeting and he didn't inform me about someone coming to visit here, cancel the appointment and make another one for some other day," he said.
"You don't know who I am," said Ishika.
"Whoever you are, I have orders to kill, but as you are a lady, I am talking to you, otherwise things would have been different," said the man and started to leave.
"How can you trust a man who switched off his mobile when you all needed him the most, he was fucking someone when your people were killed mercilessly? He is not a trustworthy person," shouted Ishika and the man came near her and looked into her eyes and said, "one more word from your mouth, I am not going to follow the king's orders, I am just going to kill you here."
"Fuck you," said Ishika showing her middle finger and walked towards her car and Jayesh started sweating.
"Princess, what do you know about him? How can you blame him with such allegations?" asked Jayesh, as soon as he entered the driver's seat.
"Not much, but he is an irresponsible person, who was away while his father and people were killed mercilessly," she said, looking outside.
"He was not a prince, he took over that kingdom two years ago and they are the richest and last year also when he went to America to expand his business, they attacked, but his spies informed him beforehand and he reached on time and saved his kingdom, but this time he went there for two months, and his spies were killed and his mobile was stolen, he called his father, but I think he didn't inform him about the attack," said Jayesh.
"You did a good homework on him, what about his girlfriends? How many girlfriends do he have?" asked Ishika.
"He doesn't have any girlfriends, he never allowed any girl near him," said Jayesh, but Ishika didn't believe him and thought, "it can't be true, he is lying."
After one month Virender came to talk to Devjit and saw Ishika and smiled and ruffled her hair and said, "you have beautiful hair."
"I know, this is my hair," said Ishika.
"Came to know you are working on a school project, doing a good job, our young generation needs education," said Virender.
"These are my people and I want my people to be educated," said Ishika and saw Devjit coming.
"I need to talk to you about something," said Virender, after greeting Devjit.
"I know you came here to talk about the project, but my daughter asked me to retire, so I am not taking any new projects," said Devjit and Ishika rolled her eyes.
"What is this about?" asked Ishika, and Virender started briefing about the project and Ishika looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "how can you say so much without looking at the file?"
"I have been working on it for a long time, I know how important this project is for my people, but till I returned things changed and I don't know how to deal with this project," said Virender.
"Okay, come to my office, we can talk there," said Ishika, but Virender hesitated to go with her and looked at Devjit and he assured him with his eyes.
Ishika closed the door of her office and took her seat and asked him to take the seat. Virender started looking here and there and Ishika crooked her brows and asked, "are you here to observe my office?" and Virender nodded his head as no and saw Jayesh coming inside and sighed in relief.
"Jayesh, come, scribble some important points for me," said Ishika and Jayesh came and settled in the chair between them and Virender smiled and greeted Jayesh and started giving details to Jayesh. He gave the details nonstop for one long hour while Ishika was staring at him in disbelief, when he finished his talk, he lowered his head and waited for Ishika to talk.
"I think you were planning to work on that project with Jayesh and not me, when you can't look at me, how can you work with me, I don't want to work on this project, and I think we can't work in the future as well, all the best for your future," said Ishika and Virender just smiled and came to his feet and walked outside and Jayesh looked at Ishika in shock.
"Let's go to the office, he has already wasted two hours," said Ishika.
"Are you out of your mind? Whatever big projects we are holding are brought by him. If you don't want to work with him, he will go to his friend. He doesn't have to come back to you again, you have to go behind him, he is the best, no one was able to bring these many projects to our office before him," said Jayesh.
"I don't think he is that capable, I don't see those sparks in him," said Ishika.
"I don't know what enmity you have with him, but you are spoiling relationships, it's better you change your attitude before you lose everything," said Jayesh, coming to his feet.
Ishika walked outside and saw Devjit and Virender were having some serious conversation. She stood there for some time and walked towards them and Virender smiled and ruffled her hair again and started to leave.
"What did he say?" asked Ishika, looking at Virender's back, while setting her hair.
"Nothing, just a casual talk," said Devjit.
"Is he going to go to his friend?" asked Ishika.
"No, I agreed to work with him, he will come tomorrow to sign the deal. I can't let my people suffer because of someone's ignorance and arrogance, and I have to rethink about you being the owner of my company," said Devjit and brought one photo and gave to Ishika and said, "he is the prince of Raigad," and Ishika looked at him confused and took the photo in hand and asked, "why are you giving this photo to me?"
"Give your opinion about him, till tomorrow morning, I want you to get married to him," said Devjit and started to leave.
"Dad, but why him?" asked Ishika.
"Actually, I planned something else for you, but you already gave your opinion a few days ago and today he also rejected you, he is not happy with your behavior with his head warrior," said Devjit.
"If he is angry, he should talk to me. Why did he behave like a monk in front of me, and complain in front of you?" shouted Ishika.
"He didn't complain anything about you, it was his minister who called me the other day and told me what you did there and I just asked him about his opinion about you and he said that his people are never going to accept you as their queen, they are angry that you put allegations on their king, you should be thankful that you are still alive," said Devjit and came near Ishika and said, "never raise your voice in front of me, this is your last warning, otherwise I still can take your title and throw you out," and Ishika lowered her head and apologized.
"I thought he was the best for you, he is everything that a girl dreams, we decided to get you both married when you were just 10 years old," said Devjit and left from there.
"It is his fault, do I look that ugly to him, why does he never look at me straight and talk? Whenever I will be near him, he just ruffles my hair like that is the beautiful thing and then behaves as if I am not even there," thought Ishika and walked towards her room.
