Shivansh's pov:

I was shocked to know that she spilled the coffee out of jealousy. Seriously!! I mean, I have known her truth now, and she can't sugarcoat with her words like old times she is not at fault. Apart from that, when I yelled at her and accused her. Before that, that brown eyes held hope that I would trust her and defend her, but after that, her eyes held pain and hurt, which was given by me. Those eyes that were shining when she got the project were blood red and held grief, so much pain that she didn't realize that her honey brown eyes, which were red, had started shedding tears, the very disobedient tears of hers. That burnt my beating organ into ashes. Somewhere, it felt hurt while seeing her like this, but I knew she had to repent what she had done in the past. That's why I hate her. Yeah, I hate her. I don't have to feel these things for her. While I was busy with my random thoughts, my phone rang. I looked at my phone screen that showed shaurya
I answered it.

"Speak." That's all I said
"Rude bitch.... at least say hi how are you? How is it going? But from whom I am expecting to be polite..." he started with his rant.
"I am in no mood to listen to your useless talk. If you have something important, then speak." I said in a hard tone
"Okk, I see..... what happened?" He asked
"Nothing," I said while not wanting to share the incident
"No fucker asshole and one word answer. Something is weird." He said Doubtfully
"Stop running your non-existent brain," I said blankly
"Then stop running from conversation and tell me what happened?" He asked in serious
So I told him about meeting her and the not so happening meeting with her. He was shocked to know that she was the CEO of Skylight Spark Media. Then I told him about today's incident. To which he reacted
"You are asshole to blame her,not knowing what happened at that time." He said in a serious tone
"So why would Aarohi do that? I mean spilling hot coffee on her hand seriously........" I exclaimed
"So why would Annika spill the coffee on her hand? Is there any particular reason for that?" He asked
"Yes, there is...... out of jealousy, that is the reason I know, and there is no need to be defensive for her. You know what she did in the past." I said while leaving no room for discussion.
"And I also told you that don't believe in what people say you should confront her and ask her directly." He said  in a defensive tone.

"I heard her saying that, and if I confront her, obviously, she will deny that no one will accept their fault on its own." I said in an angry tone
"You know, at that time, I also told you to confront her and stop believing in what people showed or what you heard. At that time and now my opinion about that is not changed. I think someone is framing her. Please inform somebody to check and please don't involve aarohi this time." He said irritatingly while taking aarohi's name
"She is my friend you can't say like this. I have known her since school. I know she is rude sometimes, but she has a clean heart." I said in a defensive tone
"Toh Zandu Annika bhi teri school friend thi but you haven't believed her. Why??" He asked mockingly
"Aarohi meri purani dost hai. On other side usse(annika) jab dosti hui aur feelings develop hui Utne mein usne dhoka de diya." I said frustratingly
"I am still telling you to find out about that video and that audio because someone is playing with your mind, and  you are still unaware of that fact. Before it's too late, otherwise you will regret it badly." He said before cutting the call.

Le me giving nicknames to shivansh via shaurya😁

I sighed and went back to my peace, my work. Yes, work is my peace. But my mind was stuck in that conversation only. To not give a second thought, I distracted myself, gone to gym for a workout. I thought working out might help me to calm my brain and that pounding bitch. Again, while daydreaming, my phone rang. That thing didn't let me live in peace. I saw aarohi's name flashed on the screen, so I answered the call

"Hello, aarohi, how are you? How is your hand?" I said with concern
"I am fine, shivansh, relax...... I just wanted to let you know I am fine. And by the way, there is a meeting with the advertising company for our product." She said in a serious tone
"Yeah, I know about that. I am not attending that, so please cover up." I said, not wanting to argue further.

"See, I know you are hurt by Annika's behavior, but that doesn't mean you have ditched your work for her. So I request you be serious Mr. Oberoi about your work. Otherwise, I have my ways to change your decisions by irritating you, you know what I mean." She said sarcasticly while calming my mood. She is the one who always knows what goes on my mind and how to calm it. That's why I know she can never betray me and support me in every situation.

Inka bhram todna padega lagta hai par abhi time hai jine do delulu mein jab reality pata chalegi tab aansu ke talab banayenge 😏😂😂

She was right that I shouldn't bother about any other person. My work is more important than these petty issues, but to see her face every day was hard for me, so I tried to avoid her, but that failed badly. To prepare myself for tomorrow, I had to prepare some questions regarding their ideas and not miss any bit of loop holes regarding the product.

The next morning

I woke up and done my morning chores and made black coffee for myself. Sometimes, I do eat breakfast, but today, I chose to skip it. Lunch is made by mom, which is sent with driver. I generally don't live with parents because of work purposes as my company is nearer to my villa. Dinner I make myself because I don't like anyone else made food. I drove towards her company for the meeting. I didn't pick up aarohi as she told me that she would come by herself.

As soon as I entered the building, I saw her talking to someone I guessed about the project. As I walked towards, I knew she felt my presence, but today, she chose to ignore rather than start a conversation, so I played along as I was too least interested in her. But as soon as she turned towards me, my black orbs met her honey brown eyes something ignited within me something electrifying. For a second, her eyes turned moist, but she blinked away her not so visible tears and gave a nod,
"Good morning, Mr. Oberoi, " She said on a professional tone in a hard voice rather than in her soft voice,which she usually uses for me. That brown honey eyes that held softness for me yesterday, which was red because of her flowing tears were today, held blankness and void of emotions.

"Umm....good morning" I said, suddenly getting nervous. The reason was her hard voice that made me gulp internally.
"The meeting will start within 10 minutes. See you in the presentation hall, " She said blankly as if I was no one to her and just a business person to whom she is providing services. Today, for the first time, I felt hatred towards my work because she wasn't soft. She didn't try to start a conversation. But it's better to maintain distance because in the she gifted me a betrayal, and now I don't want to repeat the history.
While I was in thought, she passed by me living me in my own dream world.

Suddenly, Aarohi's voice brought me back to the world
"Heyy!! Where were you lost? I have been calling you for 5 minutes." She asked in a concern tone.
"Nothing, just random thoughts, nothing else." I said while brushing off the topic.

Author's pov:

They proceeded towards presentation hall for the meeting while Annika was trying to maintain her composure in front of shivansh as she didn't want another breakdown to happen. On the other side, shivansh was confused about how to react to her ignorance he should feel ease, but he felt uneasy and heavy. And didn't give damn about the meeting. All his questions regarding the project evaporated just like vapor through his mind. In the whole meeting, he was just listening to her voice and trying to calm his minds who was wondering over her thoughts. He wanted her to stay away from his life, but instead, she had entered his life like an oxygen that was missing for years, but he was yet to realize that.

Thoda mein bhi bak bak kar leti hu kyunki inn dono ko toh realization hit hona abhi baki hai🤭
