Rajas : Passion Unveiled

Chapter 2

Ishani's POV

I finally finished checking the reports. My body was stiff due to hours of sitting in the chair, plus the jet lag. I couldn't wait to go home and sleep on my bed. Just the thought of sleep made me - well, more sleepy. But no. I have to go for dinner with Shreya.

We had talked for a while and then she had left to go back to work.

I checked the time. It was 7 pm. I quickly got up , cleaned up my desk and called Shreya to let her know that I am coming to pick her up.

I asked Avi kaka , my driver , to go home. I was in the mood to drive today. It was a half an hour drive, thanks to the traffic and I finally reached her work place. I got out of the car and was immediately engulfed in a hug and I just knew who it was.

"Bhaiya saans nahi aa rahi hain" I said and he just laughed. We broke the hug and there he was looking at me with a smile and eyes full of love. Just like my brother, I thought.

( translation - brother I can't breathe )

Shreyansh bhaiya is Shreya's older brother. He is like a brother for me too.

"Acha hua aap aa gayi maharani saheba because one more minute with this bandariya and my ears would've bleed out" he says while putting his arm around my shoulder. Shreya threw him a glare and we both laughed.

( translation - thank god you finally arrived , bandariya - female monkey )

He asked me about my travel to Italy but before I could respond Shreya put her hand in mine and said , "She is my best friend and right now we are going for dinner. You can have you Bharat Milap later" and she pulled me to the car while I waved to her laughing brother.

We sat in the car and I began driving. She turned on the radio and we sang along with the song. I stopped the car at the signal. While we are waiting there suddenly is a commotion at the circle. She lowers the volume and we step out to see what is going on.

A woman was sitting on the road in front of a very stylish black car. She was shouting at the men in front of her but her words weren't clearly audible. People gathered around to solve the matter.

"Must be an accident" I said. "Doesn't look like an accident though" Shreya exclaimed. The woman was uninjured, the car was fine and there was considerable distance between them. Two men in black suits were standing in from of her. Suddenly she gets up and pushes one of the men screaming in his face and points to the cross walk.

"Aah maybe that guy must've ran over the red light and she must've not seen the car approaching" Shreya said . I turned my head to see who these men were. The taller one turned around clearly agitated and I stopped breathing.

He is so very handsome. He is wearing a white shirt that was sticking to him like second skin. And he is so tall. He looks so hot in a suit. He ruffles his hair and my heart skips a beat. I could feel the heat rising up my neck. Hey bhagwan. What is happening to me. Since when do you fantasize about hot strangers , I thought to myself. Hot stranger? No not hot. Gods what is wrong with me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm my racing pulse.

"Are you alright?" Shreya's voice brings me back to reality. I hum. I look back to see that the woman is now holding a stone and aiming it to throw it at his car. Nooo not the car. It's such a beautiful car. Before she could throw it Mr. Hot and Handsome holds her hand. His grip is clearly tight because now the woman is trying to free her hand. He says something and the woman nods. But what I see next shocks me. He brings out money from his wallet and throws in her hands and she scurries away. He then shouts at the other people to mind their business. Shreya calls my name and tells me that the signal has turned green and we should go. I get in my car.

We reach the restaurant and get a table. But my mind was stuck on that man. Gods how arrogant is he. He literally threw that money on that woman. That must've been so humiliating for her. I felt furious. I hate such arrogant ,egoistic people who think that they can solve everything with money. God must've blessed him with wealth but he for sure forgot to give him a brain becaue he clearly doesn't have one. I scoff.

Shreya looks at me weirdly and I realised I did it out loud. Shit.

"Are you alright?" she asks worried "because you've been acting weird ever since the drama at the signal" I tell her I am alright and before she could say something out food arrives. The rest of the dinner goes quite nicely. It was refreshing after having such stressful weeks.

After dinner bhaiya comes to pick her up, we get ice cream together and talk for sometime. I then leave to go home.

As soon as I reach my apartment I just change my clothes and fall on my bed. Aah home sweet home. I will unpack my bags tomorrow but right now I just need some rest.

But for some reason just before I sleep my mind brings up the image of that man at the road.......

I hoped you liked this chapter.
