Destiny Was Fated With You!

PART 1

Manik's Pov

I straightened my specs on my nose again. As I looked outside the plan. I hope I reach on time, I sighed. Where my mind was occupied by my work again.

Mr. Malhotra? I heard from air hostess, I nodded to her as I continued my work. My eyes just stuck to my laptop screen nothing more.

Do you want me to serve anything for you? She asked the same question for an 'nth' time. When she knew my answer will be 'no' again. I gave one look. She knew my answer. She gave her flirtish smile. I fixed my specs back, giving will-stop-that-shit-looks to her. And all I could see her leaving me alone with my work. I hate that lady already. She gonna be fired soon by me. I hate people when they aren't dedicated to their work. Especially, Flirting. I gave one look to my trusted guard, George and he knew what I wanted him to do. He nodded his head in approval.

God! I'm so pissed off. 

I took a deep breath. 

Manik, Calm down. 

My mind was everywhere. I could really concentrate on anything.

Fuck! The work!

I shut my laptop and kept it aside. I erased my frowns. This is not happening. Man, When will I reach India. When?

I sighed, it takes more than an hour to land. I bite my lips not knowing what to do. I'm already late.

I did the best. I closed my eyes for some good sleep that can distract me.

Cabir? I cringed looking at him when I came out of airport instead of my driver or Sanskar.

How was the business trip? he questioned me.

That's good. I said as my guards filled their car trunk with my luggage. I settled on the passenger seat in Cabir's car while he took driving seat.

I didn't expect you here. I said him, it's like impossible to even imagine him near me, I let go. Sigh. I switched on the phone.

I know. 

Sanskar was caught up in an emergency so he called me up to pick up. So, I'm here. He stated I nodded my head to see any calls or messages. To disaster, nothing was there still. 

Cabir, thodi jaldi yaar. I guess I'm already late. I said looking at my watch. I don't want more trouble now.

You are not just late, buddy. You are screwed up. He laughed at my expenses. I could only get more pissed with his so-called tease.

I scrolled my phone. When I got my desired number. I dialed only to know it was switched off. God!

He was only my option. I guess, he is literally screwed up like me. I hope they haven't troubled him more. If done, I'm so gone.

Cabir, kithna dur hai yaar? I'm not myself. I'm not able to think anything straight. I just want to reach sooner. 

If no traffic. I promise you to reach there by 10. He added as he speeded the car in Mumbai traffic. I rubbed my nape. I tried to call back only to receive the same answer.

I was frustrated now. I tried to distract. It would've been better If Sanskar was here. Rather than Cabir. I really don't get along well with him now. There is no such bond between us like years back. When I meant taking my steps back away from him. I meant it. I really do.

That friendship between us is broken. Today, if any ask me, do I want to mend that? I really don't think it's necessary not because I've Sanskar but because we don't have that 'trust', which I used flaunt to the world years back. How things have changed. How am I changed? I exactly don't know. But graph which was touching bottom line often is raising today. Is what I sum up my life. I appreciate it because I do deserve that. I deserve every bit of happiness. And today I own them.
