30: A Lot Harder Than Planned To

I don't know how to flirt. So I will just stare at you, until you marry me- anonymous

CHAPTER 30: A LOT HARDER THAN PLANNED TO

"Good morning Bhaiya." Rudra spoke smiling. He gestured to the seat. "Have breakfast."

I shuffled his hair smiling. "Rudy boy, I have to go. Breakfast is not exactly in my bucket list now. And I am late."

"Shivaay. Today is 26th of March."

"Thank you for the useful information." I said sarcastically.

"Your sarcasm is appreciated. But we have to go the doctor. You have not been paying attention yo your health. No excuses. Ring me when you return." He said strictly, his breakfast completed. He cleaned his face with the kitchen napkin.

I tried to form some words rather a reasonable excuse but all that left my mouth wasn't sufficient.

He went to his art gallery soon after.

My thoughts soon shifted to last night. A ghost of a smile formed on my lips as I reminisced her act. The night was blur in my view but I remembered that last bit of an act. I wonder, what else did we chat about.

"Saumya," I greeted as she came into view. She was wearing a frock material dress and was looking pretty. I hugged her talking about the events that so far weren't enough for Rudra to realise his love.

"Don't worry girl. Everything will be good soon." Even thou I don't believe in love, but I have seen how she looks at him and that is enough to reassure me she is perfect for my baby brother.

I went over to my office, my brain entirely focused on the new project that we have to aim.

"Shivaay." I was met with a sound accompanied with a groan added with a pinch of smirk.

"Good morning Badepapa." I acknowledged.

"Aren't you late. Its eight already."

"I know. I am sorry." I said my head down, fear clenching my heart at his footsteps that were coming closer with each passing nanosecond.

"Weren't you a bit lively in France ?" I stayed shut. "This isn't good for your health Shivaay." He spoke venom dripping from his voice. "I hope you are aware of the consequences." "Who was that girl ? It happened because of her, didn't it ?"

"No. It did not. She has nothing to do with that." I defended. I know what this man is capable of. I sucked a breath. I can't let anything happen to her. The sudden urge in me to protect her from everyone was surprising and alarming for me.

"Aha." He clashed his teeth as if realising something. "Don't tell me you have a soft spot for her." I shook my head. "Lying doesn't look good on you. That girl, I have despised her from the start. Have you seen her dressing sense or her class ? She is an orphan and a bloody gold digger. I saw her hanging around with Om. But now I think you like her. I don't have any problem since I don't care an inch about you." He paused. "But I care about the Oberois. So stay away from her."

I nodded gulping. "Now time for your punishment. I hope you know what it is." He said smiling evilly.

I looked at the blood smeared from my hands and the small patches of rashes. I closed my eyes for a brief second. It was paining, a lot.

This was my punishment, to carry loads full of metal boxes and transport it to another room alone. He did that to make me sweat but this time while trying my foot slipped and a large cut found its way to my hand. He did not know about it, so I can't blame him. Sighing, I washed my hands with cold water and bandaged it with a little pain. I am lying again, it wasn't little. It was enormous, it was extravagant. It felt every part of my body, ached while tying it. It felt every ounce of my energy to not let the hot tears at the brim of my eyes fall. I succeeded nonetheless.

I sat in my cabin, going through each of the papers. This is going to be a long day.

It was nine at night when I saw him leaving. He looked at me skeptically and moved towards me. My heart beat quickened. His eyes moved to my bandaged hand. I quickly hid them behind my back. "What happened ?" He asked his voice rough.

I told him the reason and for a moment I thought I was hallucinating again. His eyes soften, a little regret was on his face but as if he saw me looking straight through him, he masked himself his cold demeanor coming back, his eyes again going distant. He nodded and retreated.

A phone call broke me out of my reverie. Anika. I cut the call. I didn't wanted her to be in trouble. I decided that I have to distance my self away from her. Its about time. She doesn't deserve to be in my dark circle. It would be better. She was a little girl spreading happiness everywhere, she is pure. She needs to be safe. I wonder how many people would be bought out of the darkness by her contagious laughter, that's so pure, so genuine.

Hey, are you okay ? > The candy girl

I bit my lip trying not to smile. She sure is a mind reader or she understands me just well.

I am good. How did you know what to ask at the correct time ?> The big man

I instantly got her message.

Omg ! Something happened, didn't it ? You can talk to me, you know> The candy girl

For some reason, I was grateful that she didn't asked me why I cut her call.

I know. But nothing happened. I was just kidding > The big man

Oh, the Shivaay Singh Oberoi in all his glory is trying to make jokes. That's hell of a news> The candy girl

I laughed. Leave it to her to make anything dramatic.

Not funny > The big man

But you laughed ;)> The candy girl

No I didn't > The big man

Liar liar pants on fire> The candy girl

I don't care, I don't care, I have a new pair> The big man

I retorted.

Nice comeback sir > The candy girl

I know I am awesome > The big man

Kindly, clear up the confusion. It a big misunderstanding, narcissistic > The candy girl

I laughed. Well my decision of staying away from her would be a lot more hard than I planned to.

Shivaay, you are in a deep mess.

Heyaa everyone ! I hope you know that I have set my own special chatting names for them ;) Hope you enjoyed. Shower love. Thank you.
