CHAPTER 5

Vote please!

The whole day went attending meetings and lots of work. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even notice her phone was put on silent mode for a long time now. Almost evening and she was in her cabin flipping the pages and checking the files.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door from outside. "Come in" she said but didn't look up, her eyes fixed on the pages. She snapped out when the file was snatched out from her hand suddenly.

"You.... what are you doing here? How did you even...?" Her eyes widened in shock to see Rajveer in her cabin.

"Where is your damn phone?" He growled making her flinch. He bashed his hands on the table loudly while looking very furious. His eyes blood shot red.

Her heart races as Rajveer's intense gaze bores into her, his anger making the room feel small and suffocating. She swallows hard, trying to keep her voice steady as she responds. "I... I must have left it on silent.

"Fucking check how many missed calls do you have!" She quickly unlocked her phone and checked it. 100 missed calls.

"But why? Did you call me so many times?" she asked in confusion.

"Because it's our fucking reception today!" Realisation hit her.  "I forgot---"

Rajveer's face turns red with anger, his jaw clenched. "You FORGOT?! You forget Our wedding reception?" He slams his fist on the table again, making her jump.

"Itna gussa kyu kar rahe ho. Pehli baar shaadi hui hai mera dhyaan nahi tha"

[Why are you so angry? This is my first time getting married, I wasn't paying attention]

"MERI TOH DUS BAAR HO CHUKI HAI, HAINA?"

[And I have married ten times, right?]

"Dekho tumhara bharosa bhi nahi, shayad---"

[I don't trust that maybe]

"SHUT UP AARUSHI!"

"Aadmi ho ya LOUDSPEAKER? Itna kon chillata hai yaar!"

[Are you a man or a loudspeaker. Why are you shouting so much]

He glanced at his watch, It was only two hours left for everything to start. He took a deep breath and lifts her in his arms. Her eyes widened. "Heyyy...."

"Don't speak!" He walked out of the office not caring about the shocked expressions of the staff. As he walks, he speaks through gritted teeth. "We're leaving. Right now!"

He put her on the passenger's seat and got into the car himself before he speeds off.

"Will you explain your behaviour!" she crossed her arms angrily. His jaw clenches tightly, eyes fixed on the road. He suddenly pulls over and turns to face her, his voice coming out in a measured, dangerous tone. "Explain my behavior? Really? When you've shown nothing but disrespect and carelessness today?"

"I told you---"

"Quiet! 100 calls. I made 100 fucking calls to you. You answered none. Do you have any idea what I was thinking when you didn't answer? I pictured every worst-case scenario, and here you were..."

"Why do you care...?" her voice came out as a whisper.

He looks away, his jaw clenching tightly as he fights to keep his emotions in check. "It  doesn't matter. Just know that I care, and your negligence today was unacceptable"

She was about to say something but kept quiet. As soon as the car comes to a stop near the mansion he turns off the engine and unbuckles his seatbelt. "Come out"
