Beyond His Grey Eyes

CHAPTER NINE : THE COURT

It is the same Monday morning. A disaster morning where my ten thousand is going go just like that for someone's car. My vacations, my money, my weekend and what all I am going to lose more in order to not get married. Poor little me. I got up and was ready on time. I had my breakfast and reached office early.

Veronica appeared in front of me with her same happy face. I didn't have a happy look on my face indeed. She asked me what happened and once again I said everything from start and she was pretty pissed.

"You know how strict he is. Then why will you do it!" Veronica rolled her eyes.

"Ahh! I don't know. I have to go to court. I don't think he will come to office. Directly he will go to court I guess. Bye" I took my bag and ran down as I was running late. I have to go catch a bus, pay for the freaking ticket and then reach court.

I was waiting in the bus standing looking for a bus. My phone was ringing and I knew it would either be Ruhi or Dua or Inaaya. But to my surprise all three did a conference call. I picked up to talk.

"What happened? You reached?" All of them asked in chorus. Did they practice it? Uff!

"I didn't. I am waiting for the bus. I will call your later" I cut the call. I didn't have any interest in talking more.

Before I muted my phone, Aadhvik's message came. His text said that he would pick me up. Thank goodness! My transport money is saved. I texted him back telling that I was standing in the bus stop.

I was waiting for almost half an hour. I thought he would come in a call taxi or something like that. But it surprised me when he emerged from a Bugadi instead, wearing a dark blue suit with a white button down shirt and black shoes with a coolers - how did he not have a girlfriend? I kept asking myself.

"Come" he waved his hands sitting inside the car. I went and took a seat. The car looked damn expensive. Obviously he is a billionaire so having these many expensive car is not a big deal. Then why is he behind that damn black jaguar? Ughh!

I thought of asking this question directly to him,
"Sir, I suppose you would own many expensive cars. Then why are you behind your Black Jaguar"

His gaze turned towards me, "Because even the Jaguar was brought with my money, I didn't "BRIBE" from anyone" he teased me in a way.

I had to control my anger this time.
"Sir, just think if we utilize this time and go for work, you can buy several more jaguar." I tried convincing him.

He stops the car. God! Why he is stopping the car? What he is gonna take from me now? Ha! There is nothing to take more.

"Ms. Esha Varnav you are right" he smiles at me.

Thank goodness. All my prayers didn't go in vain. My ten thousand is saved.

I nod for whatever he is telling.

"But you work and you pay for my car" his smile turns into a smirk. Ahh! What did I hear. I stop nodding.

"Sir?" I asked for confirming what I heard.

"Yes Ms. Esha, if I keep your salary in hold for almost a decade then I can buy a new Jaguar."

What? A decade? How long is a decade? Ten or hundred years? I am bad at maths. Sorry. I can't help it in either way.

"No sir! We will go to court. I will pay ten thousand." I said in the most husky tone.

I knew jaguar cars are costly but are they too expensive that he tells he can buy an other if he holds my salary for a decade? Hmmm. I took my phone and googled it.
