DESTINY'S PLAY

NEW GUEST OR GHOST

           Abhi was getting ready when Megha came in and put the coffee on the bed side table. She stood in front of him and started putting his shirt buttons as he held her close to him. She helped him wear the jacket and smoothed it before giving him his coffee.

            "Maha said her parents are coming today" Megha said and sat beside him going through a file which was to be presented to the client. He nodded checking out the news while she continued "And is it a coincidence that he's one of our rivals?" looking at him.

            He smiled and looked at her putting his coffee cup aside and got up saying "Don't you wanna come to work or should I deduct your salary again?" moving downstairs.

            Megha sat their for a few seconds thinking about Abhi's reaction and followed him. After having breakfast they went to work along with Varun.  Everyone greeted their boss as three of them rode up to the top floor through the elevator. They parted to their respective cabins once they arrived on the top floor.

             Pallavi was already waiting for Megha to come since she prepared the photo Megha had given her. When she saw the photo of the person she narrowed her eyes and searched her brain "I have seen him somewhere but I don't remember".

               Suddenly the sound of the door opening had them shut off the tablet and looked at the three males entering into the office. Saketh immediately switched on the television playing the news making Abhi smirk.

                'IT RIDE IN RGV INDUSTRIES & PROPERTIES' The news showed repeatedly and the news reader was reading out the black money number along with the properties list with no tax payment.

          Megha and Abhi were in his cabin since its lunch. They were sitting on the couch while she served him and handed him the plate making Abhi say "Go on, ask it" making Megha blink and clear her throat.

             "Umm..it was you wasn't it" Megha stated more than asked. He nodded while eating. Again Megha started thinking "But it is more than business rivalry isn't it?" to which he stopped mid spoon and looked at her and smirked then ate.

              Abhi came out washing his hands and saw Megha's plate full and her with deep thoughts. He sighed and lifted her off the couch making her widen her eyes while he sat her on his lap.

               "What are you doing? Someone might come" Megha scolded while Abhi took her plate and started feeding her with a spoon. She rolled her eyes and started eating like a good girl.

                "I met Maha's father before" Abhi said making Megha stop mid chew and look at him. He gave a look which made her continue chewing "It was after Maha's marriage. I was in a meeting with the clients in a hotel in Banglore he called me to his room. I didn't know it was his hotel and I went to meet him......

                 Abhi opened the door to the chairman's cabin and went in to see Raghuvaran in his chair smoking a cigar in his right hand while signing the papers with his left hand. He didn't even ask Abhi to sit and gave the file to his secretary dismissing him.

                'So you are the charity case Maha was in love with' Raghuvaran scoffed making Abhi's eyes narrow as he continued 'See my daughter is too innocent and also a doctor so she has a kind heart. The time you spent together is just a time pass to her she must be bored so I don't want you to create a problem in her newly married life. Do you understand?' standing and looked at the photo on the wall. It was him and Maha when she was born and he held her the first time.

               Not getting any response Raghuvaran faced Abhi who sat on one of the guest chairs with his right leg crossed over the left knee and his right hand playing with the ring on his ring finger warning 'Listen and listen carefully. I'm not in your way in any case but you bought me now and you'll face the warth of it'

                'How dare you? Do you know who I am? I'm one of the top 100 businessmen in India and you...you are the orphan who grew up as a charity case and tried to marry my daughter for free money. That is your status, you are not even equal to my shoe polish cost' Raghuvaran spat.

                Abhi stood up and neared Raghuvaran smirking 'You woke up a lion. Now you'll be one of my preys. Remember me I'm ABHIRAM BHARGAV and you'll listen about me in your circles soon' with that Abhi exited the cabin making Raghuvaran grit his teeth.

                 Megha sat on the couch still not saying anything while Abhi threw the plates and boxes in the cover dumping them in the trashcan. He turned to Megha who was looking at him without blinking and raised his eyebrows in question. She straddled him and hugged him tightly and he reciprocated instantly soothing her with his touch in her hair.

                  "Abhi..." Megha said making him shiver in response and pulled back caressing his cheeks with her finger tips and confessed "I  Love You".
