One Fated encounter ✓

I'm flawed!But not beyond repair

Arjun's POV:

My eyes were on stalks as I watched them two together!!! For heaven sake "Alex", I called him out to make sure that I was not turning insane. It's early in the morning and I have not slept properly for days, so I doubted what I was seeing. Alex confirmed that it's indeed Arun who was standing in the queue along with the old man who messed up my first date to an extent in the hotel.

Holy Shit! Am done with this mess now...I'm not sure how in the world that these two can meet and I prayed sincerely that they should not be an acquaintances. Alex didn't have a clue about the old man on top of his mind and I realized that I have not really looked into Arun's background also.

I hate this Arun for absolutely no reason and I wondered, how in the world that's even possible. One mere look of him can infuriate me to the extent my blood boiled.

I briefed Alex that the old man knew about me including Chitra and told him to look into both of them and how they knew each other. I felt I should just let Dimple knew about my background but how...as in now is not the right time. In fact, my birthday is coming up in the next few weeks and I decided that I should just open it up on that day as am confident that she would not get upset with me on my birthday. Yes, its indeed a well thought through plan, my inner self applauded.

Now, I had to rethink on it. As such my mind was clouded with so many thoughts around how to mend things with Dimple, my brain just refused to take this further addition to it.

"Boss, Madam called already, should we head home?" Alex inquired

"Nope, let's go to Paradise first, I wanted to see her",

"But Boss, you need to freshen up as we have the meeting at 12..."Alex struggled

"What? Do I look like a shit now??? Let's go there and inform Mom that I will be back after the meeting", I instructed and closed my eyes dwelled on how to convince Dimple.

I would not be able to go to Ravn Mall as people will identify me; going to her house doesn't seem to be right choice as well, after long consideration I decided to first send a message to her. Yes, she must be missing me too and waiting for my messages. I suddenly lighten up at that thought. Exactly, how could I even think that she would be cold, snappy and mad, my memory jogged back to the conversation we had that rainy night when we had our first kiss, no second kiss...and how she mentioned she missed me after that fight.

Surprisingly, I felt I have regained the lost energy and decided to go to Ravn Mall parking slot instead of Paradise.

It's 10 in the morning and I'm positive that Dimple must have reached office; I took my phone and sent a message to her "Dimple, am waiting here in Ravn Mall, the parking place where we met last time. Let's meet, please come", the two tiny tick mark appeared confirming that she read my text and I was anxiously waited for the response.

Ding! The sound perked up my ears and my eyes looked at the elevator door eagerly.

Dimple, yes I knew she would come...she appeared sad with sullen eyes. She had a fixed expression as she walked towards me from the other end. Our eyes met but she broke it off and my heart raced uncontrollably as she approaching me, few inches away.

Suddenly, a car flew past me intervening the distance between us and stopped with a jerk. A cool and well built guy got down smiling widely at her. Who is this guy now? She sure has lot of men in her life. He walked around the car along with her and opened the car door for her. What the f*&k, does she not have hands or what? She was not even carrying anything which requires help. In all angles, he looked stunning. He had the kind of face that would stop anyone in their tracks. I felt disgusted with his whole gesture. I looked at her earnestly. Her eyes were never still, she never looked at me except in passing and the car drove off. I stood shell shocked and my heart sunk at the rejection.

I was prepared for the worst, yes I was prepared to get thrashed out by her tantrums, I was prepared to receive any kind of angry scolding, I was even fine to take hits from her but never ever dreamt that she would ignore me like the way she did now.

Has she really pushed me aside? But why? Is this got something to do with my true identity, background or...or...it's just that she decided I'm just not worth her? Has she decided that putting up with me is just beyond her capabilities? No...It can't be like that, she loves me!

"Boss...Bosss...", Alex shook my shoulders to brought back from my thoughts and asked "Boss are you alright?"

I just nodded and got into the car spiritless.

I moved to Paradise and my eyes fixated on one thing, my phone. I hoped that she would call me anytime soon, I hoped, she would have some reasons for her actions, I hoped wholeheartedly that she would not leave me just like that.

Alex called up Mats worried at the way I looked; I didn't bother to stop that. I sat with eyes closed, my body hunched, hands clenched together and my head rested on it. Mats rushed over to me like a good friend as always. He ranted at me for the way I was and it took about few minutes for him to cool down. I was not able to speak as I was too tired for that.

"Arjun, I should not have encouraged you and I should have remained like others, this whole love thing - we are not teens, can you not handle it maturely? If things are not fine in the beginning then it won't get any better later. Can't you just stay out of it, you don't have a luxury to get lost there. If she is not the right one, just walk out dude, I can't see you like this...Do you understand??? You have an important shareholders meet in another 15 minutes and look at the way you are? Are you confident that you could even stand there?", He spouted

"Just stay with me, I can manage", I said and left to refresh myself

He was right, I can't do this. I can't let myself suffer like that. I know am flawed, but could not she accept me as who I am? As the way she expected me to accept her as she is...Strangely, I have not lost my temper when she went with that dude and I wondered how?

Meeting went well and I was extremely tired mentally as well as physically. I reached home and flung myself to the bed trying to sleep but failed miserably. I kept having a recurring dream that Dimple just letting go of my hand and running towards a mysterious person and when I look around all I saw was the dark room. I looked at my phone one last time before I took my sleeping pills; there were no messages or calls from her. This must be the first time in my lifetime going to bed this early and of course not naturally but by force.

I was devastated by what happened and I thought it was all my fault...I told her I wouldn't lose my cool but I lost it time and again. I told her, I understands her, but questioned her friendship stupidly...I mocked at her if I should call Arun as her lover...I'm sure all these were not simple mistakes but...but...Treating me this way makes me feel that I'm the most cruel person in the world...isn't she exaggerating things? Can't she understand me? I'm sure, deep downs in her soul, she must be knowing that I had no intention to hurt her...then how ? why?

Dimple, I knew am flawed, but definitely not beyond repair...don't you dare give up on me!
