Torn Heart's

chapter 7

As soon as she stepped outside, she found his PA standing there.

"What do you want" she asked him.

"Ma'am, actually, I have to discuss something with sir about his meeting," Dev replied.

"He's sleeping right now. Just come back after few hours" she replied.

"Ma'am, but actually, it's really important. If I don't inform sir, he would be really angry at me," Dev said.

"Don't worry about that. Just tell him I told you to do so. Right now, he's sleeping and he actually needs rest," she saif

"Ma'am, this meeting is with a very important client. If we miss this,we will have a major loss----

"I understand, Dev, but his health is also important. He has been working non-stop, and if he doesn't get some rest,it will definitely affect his health"

Dev thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright, ma'am. I will leave the documents with you. Please, just make sure he sees them as soon as possible."

She gave a small smile. "I promise, Dev."

Dev handed her the documents and turned to leave.As Dev was about to leave, Riddhima stopped him. “Is this deal about Singhania’s”

“Yes, ma’am. It’s about them,” Dev replied.

Riddhima nodded, and Dev left.

A few hours later, during lunchtime, Riddhima moved towards Arjun’s room with a tray of food and gently woke him. “Get up, get up, Arjun. It’s time for lunch.”

Arjun groggily opened his eyes, checking the time.  “Where is Dev. He was supposed to bring the files. We need to discuss this deal urgently.”

Riddhima placed the tray beside him and shook her head. “Arjun, you need to take a break. You can’t work on an empty stomach. Dev will handle the files later.”

“I can’t just ignore this,” Arjun snapped

“You are pushing yourself too hard. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to handle anything. Let Dev take care of it for now.”

“I can have this lunch afterward also. Right now, it's important for me to work on that deal,” Arjun said. But as soon as he got up, he felt dizzy and was about to fall. Riddhima caught him just in time.

“Have you lost it, Arjun. Have you looked at your condition. Just sit on the sofa and have your lunch right now,” Riddhima shouted.

Arjun held his head, wincing from the pain. “Arjun, please stop doing this,” Riddhima pleaded, taking a bite of food and placing it near his mouth.

Arjun looked at her for a moment but then accepted the bite. “Arjun, I know you are working hard, but think about aunty. She’s getting old and needs your support. You are acting like a stubborn kid, crossing all limits.”

Arjun tried to speak, but Riddhima cut him off. “ If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of anyone else. Just eat and rest for a while"

Arjun looked at her, seeing the concern in her eyes. He nodded weakly and took another bite, realizing that she was right.

After making sure Arjun had his lunch, which she fed him with her own hands, and he didn’t even stop her, Riddhima felt a sense of satisfaction.

“Now just take some rest,” she said gently, preparing to leave.

But as she turned to go, Arjun held her hand. “Thank you so much, Riddhima,” he said
