Muntazir mai tera✨ {On Hold}

9.

Hello sweethearts, greetings!

Hope you all are doing well......🤞

My apologies for the delay.........
Here's a longer one..... Hope it will compensate.............. Will it? 🫣🫣🫠

Let's get started then..........,

--------------------------------------------------------------

Finding himself as the center of attraction, the man chuckled while the entire room waited for his introduction. “Let’s have a formal introduction then. Here myself Akshav Singhania, …………” he started with folded hands but was cut off before completing. “CEO of Singhania’s Group and the one for whom we all were waiting.” Avinash completed.

Akshav’s head snapped in his direction, his eyes widening with fear and shock. “Well, Jiju I……….” he stammered not able to form a complete response before again being cut off by Avinash.

“No need to explain anything, her highness had already informed. But the information didn’t stated you were saving someone.” Avinash replied, his tone teasing finding him with a girl, while gesturing at the scene dramatically.

Akshav found heat raising his cheek at the tease. “I’ll get it back to you soon, buddy.” he thought glaring at him. “Well, she is really not that evil though.” a small smile lingered at his lips at the thought of his sister.

“Let’s continue with the conversation then.” Kaveri addressed them, focusing on the task ahead. Nodding, everyone once again sat there, going through the details of the case.

As Arman negotiated with them about details, Mr. Malhotra’s gaze lingered on him longer then it should be. A small fond smile tugged at his lips, “he resembles so much of her”, he thought remembering a person close to his heart and soul. 

As the conversation proceeded, Abhira and Akshav found themselves getting comfortable in each other’s company. Amusing it may seem, but something was there to make it feel so close to them.

Although the conversation was professional but neither of the audience present there can deny the way it felt more personal. The couple found themselves getting more at ease while the tension of earlier that day faded away little by little.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Just then Avinash’s phone rang, and the negotiation came to a sudden halt, all eyes turning towards the source of sound. “HER MAJESTY” flashed on screen and he immediately responded.

“I am right on the way!” he replied calmly and hastily reaching for his blazer. Although no one had heard the other side of the conversation; but everyone could feel that it was a now and never situation for poor him.

“Don’t forget to bow down her majesty, Jija G! / Mister” two voices echoed around the hall while Avinash returned it with a gentle yet pathetic smile and rushed out of the mansion, whereas others looked at the source of the voice. All eyes darted between Abhira and Akshav at their simultaneous and same response.

Akshav had found it to be perfect moment to take back on Avinash and as for Abhira, before she could have controlled herself; words had just bluttered out of her mouth. Their tone was light and teasing which contrasted with the heavy look of shock and embarrassment they held now.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere until Ruhi burst into laughter breaking everyone’s trance. Her laughter echoed into the room, so raw and so beautiful that one cannot help but adore the moment.
