"This is what happens when you mess with Thakur's  Mr.Shergill", my hands playing with the paperweight while the owner of the R.K industries opposite to me ,nervousness written all over his face.

" Sir it was my daughter's childishness I am very sorry for it please give me a chance", he almost went down on his knees . No matter what he does nobody can save him from my hand. He will pay for what his daughter did to me. 

Few days back I found who was behind all this it was the same girl from drama that happened in my restaurant who pushed Riya that time I left cause Amrita fell ill but she again tried to mess with me . She was the one who hired people to post the article on social media that caused all this mess and I was almost about to lose my deal  she had to pay, so I ran a background check  on her and found she is the daughter Of Arvind Shergill and next moment my team dug out some details enough to shake the R.K industries share market.

"No matter what you say Mr.Shergill it's your fault that you were unable to teach your daughter some manners . I don't give two fucks about your apology so rather wasting your time you should save your company."

He stood up feeling defeated and left after realising nothing is gonna work. I was left all alone, last few days were too busy for both me and Amrita. She got too busy with work and I also cause Maa gave clear instructions that we both should take 3 weeks holiday 2 weeks for marriage preparations and another to spend time with her at our family place it was me who somehow convinced her to 2 weeks one for wedding and one after it .

There was a knock on the door and Rick entered with a sad face. " What happened fought again with your girlfriend?", I said without looking at him. He with his surprised expression came to my desk with big steps ,"How the fuck do you know that ? Are you spying me?"

I kept the file aside and looked at him only to find him giving me weird looks.
"I don't need a spy to know what's going on with you my friend . Now tell me what's the problem ".

"She fought with me a few minutes ago about how I don't take her to dates anymore I told her I was busy but my brother you know how women are and their love for getting pampered from their man ", he huffed.

"Okay.... take a leave today ", as soon as the words left my mouth a loud 'what' came from Rick. He almost screamed," seriously dude , I can take a leave". I nodded , he almost started  dancing in my cabin.

To make him go I had to give a warning that if he doesn't leave my office in five minutes I will cancel the leave. He quickly hoped his way to the door but before leaving turned around and said," You also don't have anything important in the afternoon and today's weather is also very suitable for lunch date , afterall doctors are also women ", he immediately left after spouting all those rubbish.

But the idea is ... not so bad ..I mean come on she has definitely been busy and is very careless to eat , what if she fall sick before wedding it's my loss only. Yeah right Vijay you are so practical and rational.

I quickly picked up my coat and went to the kitchen area of the restaurant but stopped midway what if she already ate so I quickly made a call to Amrita , she picked up after few rings .

"Hello Vijay I am preparing for a surgery now can I call after 2-3 hours after it if it's not urgent", she said in a hurry I responded in a no and she cut the call.

If she going now to operate that means she has still not eaten and by the time it will finish she would definitely be hungry. Without second thought I kept my phone inside and walked towards the kitchen.

Amrita

Due to some complications the surgery took more time than I expected but everything ended in a good note , I was waiting for the elevator when I felt like I was forgetting something but can't remember exactly what.

Through out the elevator ride and my walk to cabin I tried to recall what I was forgetting but failed and turned the handle of my cabin, it was open did I not lock the door before leaving but as far as I remember I did then . I guess I am overthinking I might have forgotten under all the work stress.

I entered the cabin and a familiar smell filled my lungs , it was a spicy intoxicating smell exactly like... like Vijay.
My eyes fell on the sofa yes it Vijay there are two possibilities either I am so tired that I am day dreaming Vijay here or I am again in deep trouble cause last time he came to my cabin it did not bring good news .

"You look like you have seen ghost", the deep voice pulled me out of my world."uhh.huh .. I mean why are you here did something happen?" Trust me when I say my heart is pounding like crazy due to nervousness.

Unlike me he looked calm," No nothing happened... I was nearby so brought lunch for us". Did he just say he brought lunch for me no no wait for 'us'. What a fucking change in his attitude .

I sat down while he unboxed and the amazing fragrance filled the room," It smells so good", I said while inhaling the air . Vijay smiled THE VIJAY smiled am I dreaming so I guess after all the grumpy face can smile. 

Then the few hours were pretty good I enjoyed the delicacies while talking to Vijay about some basic things about his family , Riya and him but I have to say this grumpy is totally a family man he knows every details about his family . After we washed our hand he asked me when I will go home he can drop me but I declined cause I have a round before getting off work . He told he will wait I warned him it might take hours but he insisted on staying so admitting my defeat I went on my duty while he started doing some calls on his phone.

I finished my rounds and came back to see him sleeping on the couch and he looked so relaxed and cute nobody would believe that he is the same grumpy who is full of attitude and nothing else. I walked closer to him and sat on the small table , he is the man I going to spend my whole life with it feels so magical and dreamy. My hand automatically went to his face and was stroking the hair away from his forehead , his eyes snapped open .

I immediately removed my hand but Vijay caught it mid way. "What were you doing fiance ?" His question made my cheeks colour in different shades of red." I..I...I was removing the hair from your eyes so.. they don't disturb you", I said while looking away from him. " why are you so tensed fiance you have the right to do . Now are you free can we go back home?" I nodded in a yes and went together to his car .
