HIS BRIDE: Union of two souls

INTERVIEW AMIDST THE CHAOS

ESHANK'S POV

I woke up at 5:00 a.m. as usual, my biological clock having woken me up. I have been waking up like this for years now. I rose from my bed and made my way to the bathroom. Once inside, I splashed cold water on my face to wake up fully. 

I went to the gym and worked out to keep myself in shape. After spending two hours there, I returned to my room and went inside the bathroom once again. I took the cold shower and completed my morning routine. I came out of the bathroom with a towel hanging around my waist. I made my way towards my cloakroom.

I put on my charcoal black suit, applied my favorite perfume, Dark Phantom, wore my watch, picked up my laptop bag, and made my way downstairs.

When I came down, I saw my parents, Tara Raisinghania and Vikram Raisinghania, and my younger siblings, Eklavya and Aanya, sitting at the dining table near the kitchen. They were all waiting for me so the whole family could have breakfast together.

"Good morning, everyone," I greeted them as I took my seat at the dining table.

"Good morning, beta," my parents replied.

"Good morning, Bhai," Eklavya and Aanya echoed, smiles on their faces.

We had our breakfast together, with Eklavya and Aanya teasing each other as usual. "Behave, you two." I said, my voice carrying hint of amusement.

Eklavya grinned at me and said, "Bhai, off to conquer the world again?"  

"Every day." I replied as I stood up and made my way towards the door. My guards, always vigilant, fell into formation as I exited the house.

Surrounded by ten guards, with my security in charge, Advik Ahuja, at the helm, we moved towards the fleet of vehicles waiting outside. Four black SUVs led the way, four trailed behind, and I settled into the back seat of my black BMW. As we made our way to Black Crown Industries, I opened my MacBook and reviewed the reports for the day. Efficiency was non-negotiable.

Upon arriving at the 60-floor building of Black Crown Industries, I made my way through the lobby. Employees greeted me with a chorus of "Good morning, Mr. Raisinghania," but I didn't respond. I could feel their eyes avoiding mine, a sign of their fear and respect. No one has ever dared to look me straight in the eyes, as they are afraid of me. I made my way towards my private lift, which can only be used by me and no one else, no matter what.

 When the elevator doors opened to my floor, Rivan, my secretary, was waiting. 

"Sir, today is the interview for the PA position," he informed me. "You conduct them, Rivan. I have an important meeting," I replied, my tone curt.

Rivan nodded, understanding my unyielding demand for perfection. As I turned to head towards the meeting room, I felt someone bump into me. I instinctively reached out and caught a woman by her waist before she could fall. She closed her eyes, bracing for impact, but instead, she was steady in my arms. She had her hands wound around my neck, and I felt her nails digging into my skin.

"Yeh nakhun hai yaa keel jo bhi hai, chubhane band karo," I snapped, annoyed.

She opened her eyes, realization dawning on her about our position. Her face turned a delicate shade of pink. "I am sorry and Thank you for saving me," she muttered, but then stumbled again. I caught her once more, irritation creeping in.

What the hell is she doing here? I hate people who makes mistake, aur yeh ladki toh chalti phirti musibat lag rahi hai. I hate clumsiness, I thought.

"What are you doing here?" I demanded. 

 "I am Avle—" she began, but I cut her off.

 "Answer what I asked you. I don't like people who talk unnecessarily," I stated coldly.
