You Are My Destiny {Re-writing}

Chapter 9: 🤔A Precarious Situation🤔

When I was younger, my mom used to warn me about the consequences of doing something stupid. She had best intentions at heart, but I never listened. Okay, I listened but didn't follow through because they were minor consequences. Now though, it was a different story.

How I wish I had controlled my temper yesterday. After walking out from the restaurant, I waited near Vihar's car. After about fifteen minutes, I watched him stroll leisurely like he had a lot of time in the world. Maybe he had, but I didn't. When I asked him to hurry up, he smirked like he knew something and opened the car. When he asked what that was all about, I didn't reply.

Throughout the journey, I behaved like I was alone in the car. Even the jerk didn't try to irritate me again and luckily shut his mouth. I didn't need his goading then. Well, I didn't want his goading forever. I was thankful that he left me yesterday. But he wouldn't let me be today. I'd deal with it when the time comes.

When he stopped the car near my house, I jumped out of the car. It might have looked like I was trying to avoid talking. I wouldn't argue. It was true. I didn't stop running until I reached my room. Fortunately, my parents didn't question me, and my sister was not waiting for me. So, I escaped and went directly to bed. I tossed and turned imagining how I'd have done it differently. Telling myself that I did my best, I tried to sleep. For some unknown reason, I couldn't sleep. I needed some rest to ignore everything I did, but couldn't.

So, here I was trying to work early on Monday. Only my life would revolve around the office. No one was present here -- expect guards in the entrance. I glanced at the time. Seven-thirty. I had to wait for another hour to see an employee here.

Maybe I should have thought this through instead of dumping food on him. I realized then that I made a huge mistake and discerned some things.

Firstly, Raj was the son of a Minister or something. There'd be consequences. He'd never keep quiet.

Secondly, my parents would punish me if they get to know this. They would definitely know this. Vihar would make sure of it.

Thirdly, Vihar never came to my rescue. Okay, maybe I didn't need it yesterday. But shouldn't he support me? He should cheer me on. Yeah, right. I was day-dreaming. So, he was still my enemy -- he proved it.

Payal, snap out of it.

Finally, the jerk took fifteen minutes to come out of the restaurant. Why would he come late unless he shook heads with Raj? An enemy's enemy is a friend. Isn't there a saying like that? Yes, now I understood why he smirked like he knew something --which I obviously didn't. That jerk was planning something with another jerk. Darn, how did I let that happen? I had no doubt in this. His evil mind was plotting something. I wouldn't put it past him to use this to beat me and make himself look high and mighty in front of our families.

"You are early, Ms.Mehta," a familiar voice drawled, jerking me out of my thoughts. I didn't have to turn around to know that the jerk was sporting his trademark smirk.

My back was still to him, and I didn't get up from the chair. He needed a lesson for addressing me like my manager. Also, I didn't prepare how to deal with him. He appeared unannounced.

He came and stood near me. I could see him from my peripheral vision, but I didn't dare do that. Work was the reason I was here early. Not to chit chat with him. He'd leave eventually if I ignore him.

Continuous tapping on my desk distracted me from finishing my work. Who was I kidding? I didn't get to start it.

Guess, I was wrong. He wouldn't leave until I say something. Might as well see what he had planned along with Raj.
