His last breath(Completed✔)

Chapter 6

 "Not funny Mr.Arjun," I glared at him. 

Just then Keerthi entered "Mam how are you feeling? Sorry I left you here. I had some works back at home" She said and I smiled to assure her I am fine.

 Yeah fine, just a little,no very irritated by the one sitting in front of me. Maybe because he noticed me getting uncomfortable, so he just left.

 "Did you changed my dress last night?" I asked her just to get assurance. "Yes mam" she replied casually without noticing my odd look.

As I was started to feel better, I decided to leave. I thought I could thank Mr.Arjun once before leaving but I could not find him. After waiting for 1 hour for him, I decided to leave as there was no signs of him. I went home and took rest. I woke up next morning feeling all freshed and realised that my fever had gone without a sign. 

I took my bath, wore my formal attire and went to work. I entered the office and went straight to meeting room to attend morning meeting. I got a call from an unknown number and I was forced to stop the meeting to answer the call. "Hello" I heard the familiar voice. 

"Mr.Arjun" I greeted. 

"Wow you recognised my voice? Didn't know I was that important to you," he said and I could sense him smirking at the other end of the phone.

'Yeah Mr.Arjun, how could I not remember the voice of someone who always make me irritated' I thought to myself. "How could I forget the voice of someone who helped me Mr.Arjun" what I said was the exact opposite of what I thought. 

"Why I feel like you are not telling me what is in your heart?" he asked as he could read my mind. I was shocked for a moment but I quickly recovered. "Nothing like that Mr.Arjun", I could not possibly hurt someone who helped me right? I am not that bad.

 "So you would not invite me for dinner to thank me like that?" he asked. Wow self-invitation? Great? Now I can't refuse, can I?

"Yeah sure. Why not... I mean can. Urmm tonight at Paradise Hotel? 7pm?" I told him not wanting to disappoint him.

 "Yeah sure" he agreed. I felt he was happy from his tone. But why? Why was he so happy to have dinner with me? Whatever I just hope he does not irritate me during the dinner. I hung up and went to continue the meeting.

At the private room of Paradise Hotel

I chose this hotel as this was the most famous hotel known for delicious seafood. Even though he self-invited himself, I want to show my gratitude and I wanted to do it wholeheartedly. I ordered some dishes while waiting for him to come. 

"Great, now is he trying to take revenge by coming late?" I could not believe I waited for a whole 40 minutes for him to show up. In this 40 minutes, the waiter came three times asking me when they can serve the food. Just then my phone rang. It was Keerthi. I was talking to her about some meetings when the door of the private room cracked open.

"I am really sorry Ms.Anjali. I got stuck in the traffic" and it was Mr Arjun. "Its okay Mr.Arjun. I can understand you wanted this dinner just to take revenge on me. I am fine waiting. At least I listened to your reason," I said sarcastically.

 "I didn't meant it that way Ms.Anjali. I really.." I cut him off in the middle by saying, "If you don't mind, we can start eating. I am really hungry," I was not even a bit interested listening to him telling the reasons.

 I just signalled the waiters to bring the dishes. "I am sorry Mr.Arjun. I placed the order without your concern," I said clearly not feeling sorry at all.

"Nahh, its okay," he kept it short. The food were served and I started digging without caring much about my image. I didn't take my lunch as I was busy sorting some documents, and here I was waiting for him for so long. Before starting to care about my image, I decided to satisfy my stomach that I betrayed that afternoon.

 Soon, we finished eating in a complete awkward silence. I swear, even business dinners were not this awkward. Before leaving the room I decided to thank him as it was my intention today.

"Mr.Arjun, thank you so much for accepting the deal. Thank you for sponsoring our home. Thank you for coming today and most importantly thank you for helping me out last night," I tried to sound as formal as possible. 

"Its okay Ms.Anjali," he kept it even short. I don't know why I felt disappointed to hear his short reply but then convinced myself that instead of telling something long and making me irritated, short replies was much better. With that I smiled and got up ready to leave the room.

"Urmm, Ms.Anjali, I think... You know... Better if.." he started stammering even before starting. I stopped in my tracked and turned towards him.

 "Okay. You know what, we had a very awkward first time and because of that all our following meetings went wrong. I really want to fix this. You are an amazing girl and I would love to be your part.. friend. I see a lot of potential in you and all I said was merely to irritate you as you made me wait on the very first meeting. But, now I really want our friendship to continue. So, please, can we start again?' he finished, waiting for my reply.

It took me a whole two minutes to know that I was not dreaming. He talked about starting over our friendship, but why did I feel like he proposed to me. Eww what kind of thought I am having. "Ms.Anjali" he called me out when he realised I was standing looking, actually staring at him. 

"Mr.Arjun, I am sorry I was too shocked to reply. I mean yeah we had a bad starting but we can always be good friends," I said. "Ohh good. Good," he seemed happy. "I thought you would still be angry with me Ms.Anjali," he continued.

Hahaha Anjali is having weird thoughts about him. I really hope I can take the plot in a interesting way. I think Arjun IS interested in Anjali.
