"Tell me, Maya! What about the baby you hoped for you?" Rudra asked with her face in his palms...
"Will you let me have that?" She asked in a hoarse voice while he just looked away and gripped the railings instead of her face.
Before Maya could walk away, he said," It isn't over yet Maya. By the way, (he turned towards her), you need to come to the office for the further chapters. We need to publish the chapters day after tomorrow and we haven't got any."
Maya nodded.
....
Feeling exhausted, they walked out of their office! It was just two hours but the paperwork behind these two hours was hectic. A lot of signatures, amendments, discussions, picking up files, searching for chapters etc. had drained them out.
As they walked out, they heard the pit-pat making them realise that it was raining. The drops splattered across the glassess and it looked like it was raining heavily. This was just the beginning of the season and if it continues like this for another one hour with the same intensity, the floods would start.
"Shit!" Rudra just muttered as the rains were heavy. Their minds decided to stay inside for a few more minutes.
Fidgeting with his phone, he lost his thread as his phone battery had drained off! Rudra spoke with a tint of frustration, "I don't think this will get any better! Let's move in fast!"
Maya didn't speak but gave a nod for approval! Rudra took a risk and crossed the road increasing his pace. He had reached the car and opened the door. Getting inside, he switched on his wiper only to see that Maya was just walking slowly. With one look, he knew that she was disturbed.
Taking slow steps, she reached the car within 2 minutes and by the time she entered, she was fully drenched. The long tresses which he admired were now drenched revealing a positive and charming aura from her side. As she sat on the passenger seat, he just admired her beauty before he took a towel from the seat pocket behind him and held it out to her.
She muttered a 'Thank you' with a stiffened smile and they began to ride back home. Soon his car came to a halt in front of the traffic lights. He observed Maya as she was rubbing her hair against the white towel!
Her cream coloured Kurti which was gifted to her by Rudra stuck to her body and the hairs didn't do any good to him. This was a new side of her since the revelations and it didn't do any good to him. She was a beauty to behold.. a deceiving beauty. His stupor was broken by a knock on the windows of his side.
Drawing his windows down, it was a police officer who informed them, " The road towards right and left is closed, so the only way to go somewhere is to take a U-turn or go straight."
Maya just said, "Thank you, Sir!". Rudra closed the windows and an idea struck him. She didn't ask him about where he was going since the direction towards Roy mansion was closed...
****
As the journey continued, he just drove and she knew the distance from the office to the new place wasn't so distant since it had just taken them forty eight minutes precisely.
As the car halted, she tried to look around. It was an apartment with a slight touch of green. She heard him say," Get Down."
It was still raining and for another reason, she was indeed worried! She was worried for the fact that this stay wasn't for a day. Taking her steps behind Rudra, they got into the lift and she didn't know why, she expected the lights to go off and the lift to stop.
