BLACK and WHITE LOVE (On Hold)

the surprise meeting

Ok guys, for the first time, I am writing notes before the start of the part because I am truly sorry for not updating faster. I know I promised but when reality hits you hard, you gotta accept it and try to make some changes. I won't promise because I hate breaking it, but I assure you that I will post regularly every Friday and if I can't, I will always let you know beforehand. Now let's read ahead....

———————————————————————————

After pouring their hearts out to one another, after confessing their love for each other, both decided to get back to work because if they stayed in a closed office any longer than well you don't want to think about what will happen (I know you thought about it, dirty minds 😂😂😂) Also, the whole office would have known still the employees were eyeing them when they got out of the office. Keeping their GAZE on each other at ALL TIMES, they worked. All they wanted was the time to pass faster and it did as it was already evening and all the staff have bid their goodbyes for the day and left the office. But both Rakshit and Drishti were still working now in Rakshit's office.

Drishti's phone rang a couple of times, but she was too busy to even hear it. Soon the door to Rakshit's office was stormed opened. Both of their eyes were now on the door and without a second thought, Drishti ran to the person standing by the door who was standing there with concern, worried and angry face with arms crossed on his chest.

Drishti: (still hugging him) dadda, what are you doing here.

Prem: (broke the hug) your asking me this, really princess? Do you even know what time it is? Have you checked your phone at all today?

For the first time, seeing her father so angry, Drishti was lost for words. She wasn't sure what to say. But her trance was broken when her father walked passed her to where Rakshit was. Saying both were shocked would be an understatement. It looked as if they might know each other, but as far as she's concerned, she knew her father didn't know Rakshit well at least personally than why did it seem like they knew each other for a long time. What was actually happening here? Such questions occupied her mind as Rakshit greeted her father.

Rakshit: (a little tense while forwarding his hand) nice to meet you sir. I am Rakshit Shergill.

Prem was shocked and didn't move from his place.

Prem's POV

I was so worried today. My princess left the house early in the morning without telling us anything, it's already evening now and she hasn't called. After calling her multiple times, I couldn't take it anymore. I even called the office, but no one answered the damn phone. My wife and I became even more worried. She wanted to call the cops, but I wanted to check the Shergill office first because if I knew anything about my daughter that when she's focused on something than she would forget to take care of herself so picking up the phone is out of question.

I drove as fast as I could and reached Shergill office knowing that she has started working with them. The security guard let me in saying that the boss was still in the building. I didn't care knocking the damn door and stormed in the office. Not to my surprise, she was still here and working with someone but I didn't care to notice because as soon as I barged in, she rushed and hugged me. I was angry but also relieved that's she's fine. I was about to scold her some more but my eyes landed on the other person in the room.

Thinking I might be dreaming, I went closer to him and no I am not dreaming. It's real. Oh my lord, what the hell is this? He was saying something, but my focus was on his face. How could he look the same? How hasn't he changed at all? It's been 20 years. Is Having such a similarities even possible?

Drishti came over to me and shaked me to get my attention back. "Is everything ok dad?," she asked. I was still shocked and before I could say anything, he said, "please have a seat." I readily agreed as I thought that if I were to stand for one more minute than I would collapse. I sat down and was confused. I asked him, "how are you the same?" There was a pause of few seconds and he replied, "do you know me sir? I don't think I have met you."

I looked at him and I couldn't decipher whether he's not acknowledging me or he just doesn't know me. "Yes, dad do you know Mr. Shergill," asked Drishti. I questioned her, "who's Mr. Shergill?" He replied, "I am Mr. Shergill, Rakshit Shergill to be exact." Now what he changed his surname too. I don't know what the hell is going on here. "What the hell is going on here, Mr. Mehra?" He looked stunned at me calling him like that as if he hasn't heard this name is years and even Drishti looked at us confusingly.

Rakshit's POV

This must be the most shocking day of my life. I was over the moon when Drishti confessed her love for me and without thinking I too told her my feelings. People say love transcends time and for once I agree with them. I have been in love with my Drishti for 320 years and 9 days to be exact. 320 years ago, on her 20th birthday, I was going to marry her and look at the how fate plays on us, 320 years later, I confessed my feelings to her.

She was everything to me, reliving every moment I lived with her making her laugh, comforting her before she drops her precious pearls from her beautiful eyes, from teasing her a little and trying to protect her since her birth was my sole duty. I was always hers to began with and even before her birth, she was made to be mine. I guess whether I lived for 300 years more, somehow, somewhere, we would meet again. My hurt was bruised, but by having her besides me, no pain could over take my happiness that I finally got a hold on.

All I wanted to do was keep her in my embrace and hug her till forever, but working in a big company, things had to get done, but I am relieved that I found her and now she's mine to hold, mine to touch and just mine forever. We went back to work for the sake of it, but our eyes never left each other. In the evening, we were still working when until the door opened like a storm hit it. I was shocked and froze in my place. I hadn't thought of the consequence of what will happen when her parents find out about me. They knew me.

And the reality hit me hard as the most special day may just become another one of my nightmares.

Instead of a precap, here's some questions to think about: will her parents find out the truth? Will she herself learn about the truth? Is their relationship at stake? Well for that, stay tuned to find out and thank you all - 🍀 K
