UNDYING DEVOTION

CHAPTER 31 | Blessing In His Life

Author's POV :

Raghbir scrolled through his instagram, liking the photos and edits made by his fans, one after one. A smile consistently playing on his lips. But it wasn't too late that the crescent on his lips dropped and was replaced by a frown.

He sat up straight, seemingly agitated.

'Are you free for the day? I thought we could spend some time together. "

He had asked her earlier that morning.

' No! I have some really important tasks. I-I am sorry. Excuse me Raghbir, I will call you later"

She had hung up saying so, leaving him perplexed with his won thoughts.

But gradually, throughout the day, he made himself understand, that she must be having some really important work. Otherwise she wouldn't have cut him off, would she?

But this-?

All of the excuses of 'Important task' to celebrate her so called PA's birthday?

He hadn't expected that!

She could have reasoned it out with the truth. Why lying?

He closed his eyes in frustration and tossed the phone on the bed.

"Where is Raghbir?", Meera asked as soon as she stepped inside the house. The caretaker, Ganesh, who also happened to be Raghbir's driver, looked at her bewildered.

"Madam, sir has gone out for a drive!", He said, making her sigh in annoyance.

Who the hell goes on a drive at 10 of the night!!

"Achha, Kuchh khaane ko banaya hai aapne?", Meera asked, exhaustance clearly visible on her face.

"Ji madam! Aap baithiye mai table set kardeta hu", Ganesh said, to which Meera shook her head.

"No no, it's already 10. You can go home. I will serve myself, and your sir too. Once he is back.", She said and the caretaker obeyed.

It was after thirty minutes or so, that she had freshened up, taken a shower, and dressed up in tee and shorts.

Picking up the phone from the table, she decided to call Raghbir. But her conscience told her to give him some alone time. And hence she dropped the idea. And Instead of calling , she left a text.

'I'm waiting for you at your house. Let's have dinner together? See you soon - yours Meera'

Raghbir stepped inside his house, locking the door behind.

The lights dimmed. Entering the living room, the first thing that caught his eyes was the purse.

"Raghbir?"

His head snapped towards the direction, where meera stood, wearing his t-shirt. He doubted whether she had worn shorts or-

Shut up !

He shook his head off all the thoughts.

"What are you doing here?", he asked, glancing at the clock. 11:38.

"I was waiting for you.", She gleamed, finally feeling at peace, that now he was there. "I will set the table, you should go and get fre-", she was saying, as she walked towards the dining table.
