Entangled {With Slaves Of Persia} (Book 2)

~ 11 ~

Rahul's P.O.V....

I was unable to sleep the whole night. All my thoughts were on the beautiful girl I ever saw. She just attracted me like a magnet, there's some magic in her eyes. I was very rude with her in the morning, my desperacy made me talk like that. ..   I tried to justify myself. After coming back home Dad did not even refer about that challenge he made last night. Anyways I just hope Meera forgives me and understands me properly.

I was early to office the next day, my desperacy and restlessness and of course the doubt if she would turn up for work or would she quit just like Dad said, was very much unhandlable. To tackle my frustration and uncertain thoughts, I opened my laptop, kept surfing when I saw the door of my room open.

oh gosh she's so beautiful....

I glanced at her beauty and was very happy to see her. But my stupid image in the office is not letting me show those feelings instead, I spoke to her just like her boss. My previous Personal Assistant was a real idiot-she messed up the cabin and I ordered Meera to clear up the room. She went inside and closed the door. I got a call from MGD Constructions to give them a detailed report on their budget by evening threatening me if I don't do it on time then they would cancel the contract with our Company. Our Company's reputation was at stake and also the shareholders of our company are not liking my way of handling some situations, it was some what similar situation with the Apoorva Constructions too. I was very angry on those people and I again did a wrong act. what happens to me? Why can't I control my anger? i am so sorry Meera...no, no my love...

'Miss Trivedi, I need you to check this balance-sheet! How cum you did not even have a proper look at it!' I yelled at her while going through the Apoorva Constructions file. A sudden surge of anger took over me that made me throw the file right over Meera's face spreading those papers on the floor. I could see how petrified she was but she calmly bent down and started gathering up those papers.

S**t!! Why did i talk so rudely with her?

I was just about to express my apologies when suddenly Sunny barged in. He is my best buddy. We both studied together even in college. Standing a couple of inches shorter than me, he never let goes off any opportunity to flirt with women. a Casanova...

'Hi brother! What's up man? Why do you look so tired and why are your eyes so heavy? Where you awake the previous night thinking about someone? Is that the girl you were thinking about?' Sunny teased me.

Telling him to 'shut up' I dragged him out of my room. There was a sudden urge to protect Meera from this Casanova.

what's happening to me? i hardly know her and i am already so possessive about her!! surprising....

'So tell me about the girl?' Sunny asked me.

'what girl?' I said trying to avoid revealing anything.

I tried to rubbish off his thoughts about me and Meera, instead I told him that I was busy with work and would meet him some other day, which actually was true. I was going on getting some phone calls from one of our company's engineer from the construction site. He informed me about some changes in the plans that which I needed to check myself before approving it.

'I am so sorry Sunny, I need to go man!' I said embracing him and said bye after dropping him off at some school where his Aunt works as a Principal. He was invited there for some Annual day function by his Aunt while he was here and as soon as I dropped him, I sped from there to the construction site that was around fifty kilometers away.

I was busy the whole day at the construction site and was back by seven in the evening finishing all those discrepancies at the site. Back in my room, I first updated all those changes that had to be done in the websites too. i need that file...or else those shareholders won't leave me this time! I can't give them a chance to demote me...

The thought of a file made me recollect about Meera, I was again getting desperate to see her. When I am with her, I talk like a stupid and when I am away I keep missing her a lot. There's some magic in her that's attracting me a lot towards her. I checked my wrist watch that showed seven thirty, it's too late...she must have left by now...

Checking my watch every now and then was making me a bit dull. I have to wait for more than ten hours to see my love. I only knew one way of handling the ones I miss very much and that is to keep myself busy. I learnt it when my mom passed away leaving me alone. Dad was too depressed to take care of me back then that which I could not understand untill recently. I was eight and all I could understand was I would never be able to see mom again. The anger, frustration and the deep hurt of loss made me stay away from Dad too when he needed me the most. That's one of the reasons for my shifting back to India last year after I realized that Dad needs me now. He needs support from me too along with Uncle Vinay. With a great difficulty I learnt to handle my life all by myself and this was the main reason I kept myself away from entering into any relationship to avoid getting emotionally close to anyone.

Thoughts about mom made my chest heavy. I wasn't able to focus on my work anymore. I closed the laptop and got out of the room to breath some fresh air,  which not fresh in real sense. I climbed up to the terrace, the air was a bit chill. I needed to clear my thoughts on mom before I went back home. Can't let dad worry about me now...can't drag him into the past too...

I kept looking here and there trying to distract myself and kept enjoying the birds eye view standing at a corner of the roof, watching the road down--my phone started vibrating. 'Hello'

'Mister Rahul, it's me Sandy!' Meera's friend called me.

'Oh hello, what can I do for you?'

'Mister Rahul, it's about Meera I needed to know about, so called you at this hour! Sorry to disturb you so late!' she apologized.

'Yes what's with her?' I was a bit curious to find out about my love.

'Sir she hasn't reached the hostel yet!! Do you know when she left the office? She is new to this city and I am bit concerned about her safety right now!'

I was shocked to hear about my love, 'Just a minute, I'll call you back soon' I said and hung up.

oh gosh...Meera where are you?
