Sakshi's Pov

"Uhh!!! My eyes are burning again", I huffed. I sat back in my chair, pressing my eyelids gently. Suddenly, his smiling face appeared before me, and then the image of when I splashed scotch on him. Well, he deserved it, he took it too far, and he crossed the boundaries.

But... did he? Maybe he didn't know that Bandopadhyay sir is my Baba. Baba always keeps professional and personal life separate. It is from him only I have learnt my professionalism. But he, I sighed; he hasn't even a tiny bit of professionalism in him.

But... he is good at heart, I could feel myself smiling. But then why is he dating that Kaarna, she is a bitch, my face scrunched at her name. When I stalked him for a month, I learned that he had never been disrespectful to his fans, not even to trolls on social media. All the actresses and models who had worked with him had said that he was a gentleman and respected and cared for women, he treated every woman like a queen. Well, I experienced that side of him myself.

Was he saying the truth that day, that it's interviewers who approach him, not him? Well, even though if someone approaches you, how can you have sex with everyone? I took a deep sigh and rested my head on the chair. He is cute and has a nice smile. I was immersed in my thoughts or rather I will say his thoughts, when he barged into my office.

I got up from my chair by the commotion, throwing daggers at him with my eyes, what did he want now? His eyes were not playful, they were soft this time, just like how they were when he pulled me closer to him, saving me from getting into an accident.

"I wanna say something to you", he exclaimed.

I raised my eyebrow, "Speak."

"I am sorry, I didn't have the slightest clue that Bandopadhyay is your father, you always address him as sir", Arjun raised his hands in surrender. I knew it, he could never do that, he didn't know he was my father. But I can't show him my soft side. He will take advantage of that and will think I am giving him signals. So getting back to my sarcastic look.

"Huh", I huffed, "I address my father as sir only on professional grounds because unlike you, whose life was served on a silver platter, I worked hard to get here. What would you understand?" I stepped in front of him.

"You just learnt music when you were young, then your father launched you as a singer, and now you are a celebrity."

"Enough, nothing about my profession", he raised his voice.

"Profession?", I huffed, "Look who is talking? Someone who doesn't know that profession starts with a P. Became a singer on command of his father, you are nothing but a puppet of your father. Your profession starts with a Puppet."

"My father has nothing to do with it, do you know why I became a singer? Because my mother wanted me to." With every word, his voice was gaining pitch.

He moved closer to me, pushing me against the table. I swear I was surprised and a bit afraid of this look. "My mother, who divorced my father and left me with him, left me in my father's custody, who every night used to bring a different girl to get his thirst down."

I could see the pain in his eyes, his eyes were not just raging with anger, but an unknown dilemma covered them too. He continued, " You think my life was served on a silver platter? So for your kind information, all my life I have tried to find one thing, Peace, and I never got that sleeping with you women", he pointed at me, "or even being around people like you, I get that from music."

He laced his arms on the table, gazing into my eyes angrily, blocking me between his arms. He moved his face closer to mine, I could feel the heat in his breath, "So, Miss Sakshi Bandopadhyay, don't you dare say a word against my profession."

The glass door of my cabin banged open and Baba walked in, he pushed Arjun away from me and slapped him. My legs started trembling, I can handle any man in anger, but Baba, no, I can't do that. I gulped and a small squeak came out of my lips, "Baba".

He pointed his finger at Arjun, "Don't you dare get near my daughter again, you bastard."

Arjun gritted his teeth, bit his tongue, angrily smashed the door and went away. I stood there frozen, breathing heavily. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't save him from Baba's wrath when it was all my fault. I was the one who made him lose his temper. He was just here to apologise. A few tears dropped from my eyes...

As soon as Baba saw me, his eyes softened, he took my hand into his, and sighed, "I shouldn't have ever made you go near that man, I am sorry beta. Tell me if he dares to disturb you again."

I hugged him, it was not his mistake too, he was just trying to protect me like a good father. I was the one at fault here, I was the wrong one. I wiped my tears, and looked into his eyes, "I am fine baba, I am fine."
