"64. Angry Tears"

"Uski aakhon me aansu mujhe gawara nahi,
Uske chehre pe udaasi manzoor nahi,
Main jeeta hu uski muskurahat ke liye,
Agar vo nahi toh zindagi me Noor nahi."

(Rudraksh)

Rudraksh had arrived at a seven-star hotel for an important business meeting with an American client. The discussions went smoothly, and they successfully signed the deal. The client, pleased with the outcome, insisted that Rudraksh join them for lunch to celebrate. However, Rudraksh, always composed and professional, respectfully and politely declined the offer. He expressed his gratitude but explained that he had other commitments. Despite their insistence, he remained firm yet courteous, ensuring that his refusal did not come across as rude.

Rudraksh: "Sorry, gentlemen. I would have joined you for lunch, but I promised my wife to spend the day with her, so I need to leave to reach on time."

Client: "Oh, your wife? Then it's more important. Carry on, young man."

Rudraksh exchanged a polite smile with the clients as he firmly shook their hands. With a slight nod of acknowledgment, he turned on his heels to leave, his posture exuding confidence and authority.

Rudraksh: "Roses lekar jaata hu, vaise hi late hu Ruhh bechari bhookhi hogi aur gussa karegi alag."
(I'll take some roses with me. I'm already late, and poor Ruhh must be hungry. She'll be angry too.)

Rudraksh smiled to himself as his thoughts drifted to Ruhanika. A sense of warmth filled his heart, but just as he stepped out of the hotel and reached for his car door, a sudden loud crash echoed through the air.

Rudraksh: "Ahhhhhh"

Robert: "Siirrrrrrr"

The sound of shattering glass jolted him, and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the window of his car completely smashed. His breath hitched, and his body tensed as he quickly scanned his surroundings, his instincts immediately going on high alert.

Robert rushed straight to Rudraksh, his eyes widening in shock as he grabbed Rudraksh's hand, now smeared with fresh blood. The sudden sight sent a ripple of panic through the luxurious hotel. Rudraksh's bodyguards immediately sprang into action, their senses sharp as they began scanning the area, trying to determine what had just happened. Guests and staff froze, murmurs spreading like wildfire, while an air of tension gripped the place. Rudraksh, however, remained composed, his jaw clenched as he assessed his injury, while Robert looked at him with deep concern.

Bodyguard: "Sir, I found this bullet. Someone has fired a shot."

Rudraksh: "Then what the hell are you waiting for??? Go and find him!"

The man bolted from the scene, disappearing into the chaos. Rudraksh clenched his jaw, his breath hitching as a sharp wave of pain shot through his arm. The bullet had barely missed him, grazing his skin and leaving a deep wound on his hand.

Despite the pain, his instincts kicked in. His eyes darkened with fury as he swiftly pulled out his own gun, scanning the area with a calculated gaze. His bodyguards spread out, searching for the attacker, while the crowd panicked, some ducking for cover and others watching in shock.

Robert: "Sir, let's go to the hospital first."

Rudraksh: "Go and find that man, Robert!"

Robert: "Sir, our men will handle everything, but please, let's go to the hospital first, or else ma'am will get more tense."

Rudraksh's eyes darkened with fury as he shot a sharp glare at him, his jaw clenching tightly. The tension in the air grew thick, making it clear that he was holding back his anger with great effort.
