Think before you act

Chapter -6 Meeting after years

Keeping the files on table I scanned the meeting area for tenth time still I felt nervous for God knows what reason.

Relax Ahaana , everything's gonna be fine!

Well , really?

Yes , really! Eventhough I doubt a little...
"Ugh!" I cried out frustrated by the banter between my heart and mind.It was all annoying me to the core.

"Everything ready?" Bhavna asked entering the area dressed in a black formal pencil skirt with a top.

Biting on my lower lip I looked around once more before saying "I think so!"
She chuckled slightly shaking her head negatively and settled herself on her chair checking the presentation for one last time.

Soon all the team members stepped inside the hall getting busy with their tasks until Mahir sir himself joined us.

"Everyone listen , I don't need any inconveniences today ..This deal is quite important for our company and if any nuisance is created be ready with your resignation letter.." he announced while all of us nodded.

We knew that he was a man of words. If he says something he won't think twice before acting on it.

After a couple of minutes we saw some people walking into the room. Few bouncers opened the door and I could see a tall figure appearing inside.

My breath hitched for a second as I looked at him. All the moments we cherished together passed through my mind. His eyes no longer had that warmth neither did his aura felt the same as it did years ago.

He changed , a lot!

I felt Bhavna nudging my arm as she passed me a booke of flowers. I sucked in a deep breath trying to ease my wildly racing heart.

You can do this , Ahaana!

I stepped forward accompanying Mahir sir while he shook hands with his partner.

"Welcome , Mr.Suryavanshi" looking into his eyes I said forwarding him the booke.
His face turned blank as he stared at me without blinking or saying anything.

"Ahaana.." Vihaan whispered and I felt all my courage crumbling down like a piece of paper.

A lump formed in my throat as I faked a tight lipped smile and it me all my strength to not to break down at the moment.

"Shall we proceed with the meeting, Mr.Suryanvanshi?" Mohit spoke up to which he slowly nodded his head seating himself on the chair beside our boss.

The meeting continued and I tried my best to focus on whatever issue was being discussed but all while I could feel his heated gaze on me. 

I desperately wanted to ignore this grey eyed man infront of me yet his gaze lingering on me didn't acted on my favour.

God! Why things always have to be so damn complicated?

The meeting lasted for about an hour which felt like an eternity to me.

"So sir , I don't think that there is any problem in this deal and if you want you can go through the papers yourself before signing them.." Bhavna spoke up handing over the documents to one of his men.

Getting up from his chair he remarked "Well , I see Mr.Malhotra you've got an amazing staff.." eyeing me from top to bottom and I felt heat creeping up my body.

"I know right ,  afterall I choose the best.." Mahir sir answered back with a smile which was mirrored by Vihaan.

Soon he along with his team left as I heaved a sigh of relief feeling my stomach twisting into knots. I ran to the washroom splashing water on my face when a notification binged on my phone.

After all these years you still look so tempting sweetheart..You know it took me all my self control to not to grab you infront of everyone and kiss until you turn breathless..

It was a message from an unknown number.

My hands shaked with uneasiness and rage.

It's definitely him! But why?

Why didn't he come when I desperately needed him?

Where was he when I needed him the most?

Tears gathered in my eyes as I blocked his number.

This man made me hate myself , I felt pathetic because of him and if he thinks he can break me again. No. That's not gonna happen at any cost!
