The Girls Of December

Chapter 2.

Udaipur

Narrator's POV:

Present day

It was a cold morning. December month always gave Vihaan hard times.
Year was about to end and so was his will to stand people like Mr. Khurana , a renowned architecture who inherited his architectural business from his ancestors. He just used the goodwill earned by them and spent more of them into unfair practices.

He bribed the journalist who was to give the names of the successful businessmen in the daily magazines to write his name on 1st instead of Vihaan to piss off him.

Vihaan was also facing other issues because of him, which included copy of his work by Mr. Khurana.

3 days before the opening ceremony of his one of the finest work he found out that Mr. Khurana leaked the design before him and commenced as his own.
Vihaan was looking for the betrayer who was still working under him.
He was surely going to fork his soul out of his body.

The morning was usual for Vihaan.
Lone coffee in bed , quiet shower and quick dress up.

He drove to his office in silence thinking about the ways to kill the betrayer as well as Mr. Khurana. Once he reaches the office his employees greeted him while he made his way to lift, gesturing everyone to sit down.

Later that day, his assistant came into the office and told him that he found the person who leaked the designs and informed him that he was locked in the basement.

Vihaan's POV :

I already felt irritated this morning and now the thought of seeing my betrayer finally ruined everything inside my head.

I rushed to the basement in anger pulling out my gun from the drawer and making every employee stare at me in fear while I reach the basement.
I loaded my gun in stairs and furiously opened the door but my eyes couldn't believe the person who was tied to the chair and the one who was supposed to be the betrayer was none other than Sidhant.

I took a deep breath, my anger only rising. Sidhant was one of my most trusted men, he has been working for me from the beginning of the company and helped the company to grow.

I can't believe Mr. Khurana would bribe the person at this extent that he would forget all the hardwork that contributed in the growth of the company.
But I did not let these thoughts intrupt my expression.

He obviously knew that I would kill him and I can see the fear of death in his eyes. But I can't help it. The one who messes with Vihaan Malhotra, pays with his brutal dead body.

Before I could kill the fuck out of him I had to know the intentions of Mr. Khurana further and I thought this wreck might be useful before he says goodbye to his precious life. I coldly asked him , "What is he planning now?", his body shaked as my voice reached his ears but he didn't respond.

I said again, " Answer me and I promise you a painless death or else you know the sufferings." It was true, Sidhant had witnessed almost every murder from my hands, he himself had helped me and he was the one who saw how the betrayers suffered.

Finally he spoke, "I....I don't kno...knoww exa..ctly but they....are tryng...to fin...d your weak poin...ts to make y...you emotionally weak." His voice trembled as he spoke. I laughed hard. There was nothing that can make me weak and they were talking about me being emotionally weak?
My laugh was of 27 seconds before my attention got his prey, in a second I peirced Sidhant's head with bullet from my loaded gun .

I asked my men to clean the mess and headed straight to my office again. I had an important meeting today and I don't wanna be late for it.

I cleaned my face and changed my shirt because the jerk's blood was spread all over it. As I was to head towards my meeting hall, my phone rang. I picked it up in first ring.
"Good morning, Mr. Malhotra", the firm voice from other side came.
"What is it now?", I recognized the owner of the voice was none other than Aadvik, a constant pain in my ass. I still wonder why he is my best friend.

"Relax, champ!! I just called you to let you know that your mother has been trying to reach to you since morning. Call her when you have some time from your busy schedule.", such a my mother's boy.
"I will." And I disconnected the call and opened the door to the meeting hall.

The meeting went good. I offered them the pitch and I was sure they loved it because they told us to immediately start working on it.
Guess the day wasn't so bad.
I called off the meeting and got myself busy with sone usual stuff at office when my phone rang, obviously her. She was trying to call me since morning and I have been dodging her calls because I know once I start talking to her she will not stop until she gives me all the information even about the people I don't know , which is basically a cute distraction.

I answered the call and took her blessings.
"Are you alright mera bacha?? Is the cook not giving you food on time? You took the medicines right? Are you again working at night? I am telling you if you don't stop I'll come there and.....",she was non stop rambling when I stopped her.

"Calm down. Mother India!". I said and I bet she made her 'That' face right now.
"What calm down? I am living here miles away from you and you don't even bother to even call once and ask about us! It's only me who worries about her child. I am wrong. You are right...." and here comes the scolding.

I chuckled and assured her that her diamond-like son was alright. She smiled from other end and told me that like every year she is planning to organize a 4 day bhajan program before the new year and asked me to come to make sure the preparation was going alright. She was lying, preparations are well handled by the managers we hire , she just wanted me to come there and I have to play along obviously. No one can beat indian moms.

I called Aadvik and told him about the bhajan program and he was the most excited person.
"We will be leaving at midnight so that we can make it before the sunrise tomorrow.", I mentioned as udaipur was 4 hours straight drive from here if we drive . He agreed and disconnected the call. I told my assistant to cancel all my meetings till the next week and drove to my villa or I can say lonely villa.
I packed my clothes and necessities and had my dinner when I heard Aadvik's car horn.
I rushed and we drove off to Udaipur.
