the fall of a drama queen.

"OUR DEAL with Kashyup's got confirmed!" Rahul announced, the moment he barged into a very noisy confrence room. Every person in the room became quiet and sat in their given places. Rahul smirked at his voice's audacity and the respect given to him. He cleared his throat and stood in the edge of the huge desk. Preeta and Karan grinned when they heard the news. They've been working their asses off for this deal.

Both Karan and Preeta applauded at the same time and rest of the applaud's joined in the meanwhile. Rahul smiled at all the people in this room, who had helped him in this nerve-wracking deal. He sat on the chair and poeple appreciated each other for their sheer generosity and determination. Rahul cleared his throat, to get the people's attention back. "I have another important thing to disccuss."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Rahul. "The Kashyup's asked us to send our project with only two people. I know; everyone has different point of views about the people―that's why I'll give you a piece of paper. Write the name of the pair―you want them to go to Indiana. Of course, majority wins." He concluded with a smile. Everyone nodded and Rahul passed the papers to each one of them. Everyone took their pen and started scribbling down the two names.

Rahul, too scribbled down the names.

After few minutes, everyone put the papers in a glass bowl; folded. Rahul smirked before he took out each paper and began reading them. There were totally twenty-five chits in there. In these twenty-five chits; most of them were karan and preeta. Both of them gasped, hearing their names from the chits.

Rahul's chit was also filled with these two names: preeta arora & karan luthra. He smirked, before discarding the papers in the dustbin and rose up from his seat. "It's decided, then. Karan Luthra and Preeta Arora will be going to Indiana, from our side." A roar of applauses, whistles and smiles was released from the people. Karan and Preeta smiled at them and grimaced when they saw each other.

"Thank you all, for choosing me and karan," She spat out venomously, when she said his name, "I really appreciate it. Thank you."

Everyone gave her a small smile, whereas Rahul gave her a sly smirk. "Congrats, Preeto."

She smacked his head, after muttering a quick 'thank you' and turning back to cabin. Rahul informed the flight will be in the evening and she can go home for packing her things for the trip. She quickly shoved her mobile, files and earphones in her bag and left the office to reach her home in time. It's already four fifty-five in the afternoon.

Before parking her car in the garage, she realised something.

Amyra.

How can she be so careless? How can she forget her daughter―before agreeing to the bloddy meeting in the Indiana. She have no right to leave her daughter behind in the London. She groaned before making a call to Rahul. In three rings, he picked up. She sighed.

"Rahul, Look I can't go to the meeting in Indiana." She said, tucking the hairstrand behind her ear.

"Why the hell, not!?" He asked.

"How can I leave, Amyra?" She asked and she heard a low fuck from the other side. She bit her lip and sighed once agin.

"Right."

"What do I do?" She asked, biting her nails in anticipation. Both meeting and Amyra are important to her.

"It's a four days trip, Preeta. Leave her with Sarla aunty. I'm sure both Amyra and aunty won't mind, right? You know, this is so damm important for us, Preeta. You're the best for this thing. Understand." Rahul urged.

"Alright, I'll leave her with Mum. It's only four-days trip, right? Not more than that," She gushed.

She heard a sigh from the other side. "Of course, Of course. Okay, love, I'll call you later. Love you! Bye!"

She parked the car and went directly to Amyra's room. Amyra was playing with her toys, when Preeta entered. She smiled at Amyra and sat beside her. "Hi, baby!"

Amyra beamed at Preeta. "Hi, Mum. You came early, today?"

Preeta frowned. "I've to tell you something, Amu," Amyra nodded, "I'm going to go for four days trip, Amyra. I'll be going to another place for a meeting. I'll be back by four days, okay? Sorry, baby."

Amyra frowned and hung her head low. She was habituated to these situations―where Preeta will be going for weeks, or worse―for months. Amyra sighed, before rising her head back at Preeta, giving her a small smile. "It's fine, Mum. But, promise me, you'll be back soon. Promise?"

Preeta sadly smiled at her, before kissing on her forehead. "I promise. I love you so much, Amu." Amyra smiled, resuming her work with the toys, yet gain. Preeta was proud. Proud of her daughter.

She went to her room, taking the bright yellow suitcase from the top and placing it on the bed. She packed jeans, t-shirts, cocktail dresses, pencil skirts and button up shirts. In another bag, she put her all daily routine products and zipped the both bags.

"Preeta, you've to stop falling for me, yaar!" Rahul joked, as he caught preeta in his arms, as she tripped while walking with the trolly. Preeta rolled her eyes and steadied herself. She hugged him and sighed.

"Thank you, Rahul. For this and everything, you've done for me." She smiled at him and someone from behind scowled at them. Karan rolled his eyes at both of them and jealously was finally setting in him. A idea passed his mind, when he moved towards the both of them. Both of them bid their good bye's to Rahul and moved to get their boarding passes. 

After taking their boarding passes and the security check―they both were seated in the waiting area. Preeta's stomach grumbled, as she was hungry. She sighed and got up to get something from the sandwich shop in the airport. Before she make the move, Karan put his leg and she tripped―perhaps, once again and Karan caught her in his arms.

"You only have to fall for me, Preeta Arora. Only for me."
