One week passed and Haider recovered to much extent. His arm was still in the sling, but the bruises were healed. That night, Jahangir had made sure he scared Farhana and her family into running away. Alina got Sarita to do extra work other than cooking. Also, she took care of Haider and kept in touch with him and maid whilst she was at work. Though Haider could come to the office, he purposefully doesn't. He kept Banerjee and a few other staff as a spy over her. Also, he kept checking the CCTV.
Mikael and Alina patched up after three to four days. Meera acted as the middleman in their patch up. But she supported Alina here and explained to him, - 'If she doesn't want to be with him anymore then we shouldn't guilt-trip or force her.'
Mikael reluctantly agreed.
'Haider!' Alina called entering his room whilst tying the strap of her watch. She looked up and found him standing by the portrait of her. She looked at the portrait and then at him. He turned and smiled at her.
'Hey, love. When you are out, this painting makes me feel like you are with me.' He confessed, approaching her. He held her hand with his free hand. She lowered her head briefly and then looked at him.
'I am off to work. Take care of yourself, okay?' She kept looking at him and slowly slipped her hand from his grip. But he clenched her fingers tightly.
'Why do you have to work so much, Miss. Alina? Can't you stay with me?' He requested. Alina shook her head pulling her hand from his hold.
'I am sorry.' – She touched his cheek gently, - 'I have to work, I got this new project and the deadline is coming up. Dinesh Mathur, our head, won't be pleased if I am late.' She explained.
Haider smiled amusedly, - 'But I am the main boss.' He smirked. Alina forced a smile and insisted she must leave. He felt anger rise inside him, but before he could react, she had walked out of the room.
Later as Haider sat in his room lounging on the leather recliner chair, watching a movie while munching on popcorn. Since his right hand was injured, it was a little struggle. He clicked his tongue in agitation as his phone rang. Quickly, he turned down the volume and answered the call.
'Yes, Banerjee.' – He listened carefully and his clenched his jaw, - 'Where did they go?' He enquired sitting up straight. He scolded his assistant for giving half information, then he angrily disconnected the call. He recollected Alina insisting that she must complete her assignment and then, he gets the news that she has gone out with Mikael. He leaned in the chair and brought his knuckles to his lips. He kept wondering where the two could have gone to. On a date?
Alina and Mikael climbed down the auto and Mikael paid for the ride. They were stopped at the security. Alina spoke to him and they let them in. She glanced at her friend and flashed a smile. He smiled a little.
'Are you sure about this?' – Alina said worriedly as they climbed fleet of stairs to get to the main door. She clenched Mikael's sleeve, - 'That man is dangerous.' She warned him in a hushed tone. Mikael blinked slowly at her.
