Chapter 28 ( Part 2)
He drove tensed..listening Arjun’s guards to say she is still in home and Raghav to parrot the same…He called the house landline…none received…
He called to Sam again..the same response…His eyes narrowed on the mansion before.,Piyali’s scornful looks and his mom’s concerned words,to never step into Khanna Mansion flashed in his mind… Sam’s denial to help him,pulled him ahead of.,of all other things…his vehicle screech halted expressing his thoughts…His brows furrowed looking no one there…Raghav came running to him…Neil got down and walked towards the steps..
“Madam ji went out an hour back”,Raghav informed…
Neil ran inside,but halted looking the telephone on the table…The connection has been disrupted….He hurried to Sam’s room,but saw her mobile lying in the bed.,and her favorite cartoon Tom & Jerry to play in high volume….He searched into Radhika’s room and found her starring outside the window…
“How are you?”, she jerked a little listening his voice..
“Neill..here?…how.?..”,she came rushing to his side and pulled him to her room…She was silent looking him to glare her…
“So..you are angry on me..isn’t…”,he asked her…
“You spoke…”,she was cut in…
“Even you accused me to be a money leecher..”,he said..
“No!! I din’t mean so…”,she retorted…”I wanted you to know.,how you sounded…”,she said to his face…
“Ok..then why din’t you come to work”,he asked..
“I am not doing well”,she stuttered and moved to her bed….”Neil…Sorry to say..but leave…pls..go away before mom comes..she may scold you”,she said..”She will come for lunch now”,she looked the clock…
He slid his hands into his pockets and narrowed his eyes…”Let her”,he said and her eyes enlarged a little at that…Before she could speak any further they heard Piyali’s car to be parked…
Sam tried to usher.,but No!…Neil stood calm watching her plight….
“Why are you here..Don’t you”,Piyali’s words were cut in.
“Am her boss!she works in my event management company…”,he said..
“Will you visit your every emplo…”
“Of course..Yes..To find if they are really unwell or not…”,he snapped back…
“Neil..”,Piyali hissed…
“Mr.Neil Malhotra..!! and with all due respect,I think you haven’t got the meaning of what I said”,he said sacchraine sweet…
Sam felt,to get dizziness listening him…She had never witnessed this dismissive side of Neil..
Piyali threw a annoyed look at him….”So,you got to know isn’t…now Leave!”,she gestured the stairs…
Neil smirked a unseen one.,squeezing his mouth nonchalantly,he turned to Sam….”Sam….what’s wrong with your health!?”,his brows quirked up mocking….
Sam blinked amused at his attitude…”ah..umm…Fev..fever”,she stuttered with her gaze locked with his….
He glanced sideways at Piyali,”when will you….”,
“Well…Neil…she won’t work in your company anymore…And…she doesn’t need to….”,Piyali said arrogantly…
Neil peeked a look at Sam immediately,only to see her,to fiddle the edge of her t shirt,thinking a way to handle the situation…
“How could that happen.AUNTY…!!”,he asked saccharine sweet…”Guess…Sam dint inform you.,she has signed a year contract…”,he slid his left palm into pant pocket…
Piyali looked Sam for a answer…
“Ah..yes….A contract..”,Sam said feeble…
Piyali’s eyes rolled in anger and surprise….why to make a employee contract when there was a tie up between their companies…
“She isn’t any normal employee…she is..”,
“Aunty…Aunty…!!!”,he sing sang,smiled….”The contract!..the agreement is done…hope you know the terms and conditions…So…Sam…Friday..! Friday you should report sharp at 10am”,his eyes narrowed at her…
Sam looked Piyali…
“Neil…we will pay the compensation amount for terminating in the….”
“Uff….what is this sam..! Only if you had told it clearly,Aunty would not be speaking like this…childish!”,he smiled wide…”Aunty…there is no such option at all…she has to work..!!..Must to…!! Under any circumstances..! Else…Legal action!”,he finished saying in bits and pieces on a authoritative note…
“What nonsense…! Who makes such..”
“Mom…that’s the truth…I signed it.”,Sam intervened..
“No more questions Aunty…and Sam…Remember Friday..you have to..well..if you are still unwell..come for paper works alone..but…Friday!”,he gesture asked her…..”And the calls…work calls are important..!!”….turning to Piyali..,he said,”2 days is enough to recover..I guess!”,he remarked sharp.,and “I mean…from fever!”…he smirked…
“I need to talk with my staff regarding a work…so…will you please excuse us..”,he smiled to Piyali..
“Why…speak here”,piyali said like a order…
“I can’t discuss before strangers…”,his sharp remark was enough to raise Piyali’s subtle temper…
“Neil”,sam called meekly..
“Oh..Sam.!!..I meant…Aunty is nowhere related to Event Zone isn’t..I said on that note..”,he glared sharp at Piyali…
“Mom…I will be back now..Neil…pls come down..”,sam walked before him to stairs…Neil snapped his look to Sam who stood in stairs,..
“See you Aunty”,he quickly descended the stairs….
The words Aunty did irritate her,and when everytime he stressed the word.,she only held back her urge to yell,because of the so called contract he meant….she stood watching them to move towards the door way…
“Neil…”,Sam was cut in…
“I dint intend to…! But…anyways…Sam…if you keep staying back at home…I will be forced to come here..,so its your choice..”he saw the garden around with a smile… “same Rose garden!”,he murmured with a smile…
Sam smiled…”yes…its years you came home..isn’t !!…It went through few alterations…hmm..But di…strictly asked it to be back”,she moved next to him,and held his hand,”I am sorry Neil.”,she said looking his face…
His gaze caught her guilt written orbs…
“I never thought you would come home…!”,she said with a humorless smile..
He shook his shoulders nonchalantly…”I just…I..”,he sighed defeated…”I was scared.!! Promise me..you will attend my calls”,he asked worried…
“Sorry..!! I will come on Friday…!!.”,she nodded .
******
She checked her watch impatiently…its been 9pm and still he dint come to pick her…
-On the way Ma’am -, Atif’s msg read…
The moment,he parked his vehicle,she came rushing down…He starred her,leisurely walking form before him…..The drive continued in complete silence,expecting each other to initiate a talk…
She saw him quizzical reaching Neil’s hotel…He got down without a look…
“Ma’am….this way for buffet”,Amar came from nowhere to help her…
“Amar,You still remember,I chose buffet one”,she enquired casually following him…
The guy returned a smile saying,”Ma’am…Neil sir is also there.”
Arjun filled his plate and moved to a table,while she had a treat of glancing the delicacies,widely arranged….
He saw Amar to extend a bowl and she giggled tasting it…
“Radhika!!…”he called loud enough, to get Neil’s and everyone’s attention on them….he regretted for calling aloud.,snapping his look all around…
“You are so tired Ma’am”,a young girl said when she came with her food to their table…
“Yea…seems your boss is too busy”,she mocked…
“Yes….he just now came to caterers unit…he is back after some 2 weeks…that’s y”,the young girl dismissed herself after explaining…
“It’s because of me..! He was for cheer beats when I came here…its really tough isnt to manage three…”,Radhika paused at his silence…
He chewed his food glaring her…She ate in silence after that….they observed Neil to be busy speaking with one or other staffs….and when he steps to them,Someone would call him…
“Am sorry…I couldn’t…”,Neil came fast walking to them…
“That’s ok man…we could see isn’t…”,Arjun stood patting his arm…”We finished…thought to have a word before leaving”..
Listening that,she stood from her place…Neil saw her dull face…”Radzzie….how was the desserts…did Amar give you all the 5 varieties ??”,he side hugged her ..
“Yea”,she nodded…Arjun saw her surprised.. he walked away with his mobile…
“You sounded like weeping..why.??”,Neil asked and she realized the reason for Arjun’s surprised look….May be,meeting her friend,she herself lost the control to hold them back…
“Neil..am..am…scared for Arjun…he had death threat when he studied with us…”,she whispered…
“He said the other day,when we met Preeti..btw…who told you this”,he asked…
“Arjun said…today…Sarat uncle too…”,she explained the day events to him…
Arjun smiled looking Amar’s antics…He moved around Neil,holding the staffs back,from discussing with Neil…One guy almost came to Neil,and Amar pulled his arm pushing a guest down…unaware of all this,Neil listened keenly to Radhika.,who spoke having a recently given,dessert!!..
“Good job Amar!!”,Arjun said when Amar crossed him…
Amar followed his gaze and smiled…”Ma’am is here after 4 years…she never disturbs sir unless something is important”,he raised his brows explaining his stance..
“Go…your husband is waiting..”,Neil said
She turned and saw Arjun to look her..”20 mins!! My god…Neil..Am surprised with his patience level..”,she giggled before wishing him for night…
****
She stopped on her tracks,when Nandhini called Arjun…
“Aru….I called you twice..why you dint attend the call..”,Nandhini asked…
Radhika turned around..
“Hmm…I left my mobile in silent as we were in meeting”,he climbed the stairs…”Good night di..”,he said looking Radhika,who stood on his way…
Nandhini saw Radhika.,while she looked Arjun,who had his back to Nandhini….
“Good night di.”,Radhika smiled to Nandhini..
“You lock our room?”,she asked when Arjun unlocked that door..
“Our????”,he smirked mocking…
—
She sat upright irritated…she saw his lying form…He lied on his left with his back to her,and for the past half an hour,she had been bombarding numerous questions and incidents only to his back….
She tried recalling the day’s events…which went wrong…he indeed scolded her while dropping her at BS that noon…how long she sat like that,she wasn’t aware,but random thoughts kept her oblivion..she was totally immersed in the images she reminisced…blinking back her tears.,she saw him,still lying with his back facing her..
“Arjun…”,she sounded depressed….
“Senior…!! I feel like crying!! Why!?”,she yelled a little loud and saw him to turn his head to her…he saw her a moment and turned completely,lying on his back…
Before he could speak something,she sprang over him,covering his torso…
“You wont speak with me isn’t..?”,she asked with tears…
“Have you turned dumb..?”,she asked again, when he remained silent…
His thumb wiped her tears…”sleep”,he replied..
“I wont”..
“Get off…”,he pressed her shoulders pushing her…
“I wont”,she moved more comfortably over him,looping her hands around his neck…
He saw her,to lie across the bed,her upper half on him,and rest on bed…He closed his eyes…
“let me sleep…stop behaving desperate..”,he said hoarsely..
She raised her head and saw him intently…
“What..”,she asked…
“I said…take off your hands.,this lusty touch…and…”,he paused seeing her to smirk…
“Thats a low blow dear Mr.Mehra!!…”,she rubbed his nose with hers…
“I mean it..An”..
She pecked his lips…
“Say.,whatever you want…”,she continued pecking his cheeks and lied like before…
“I know…am being paid back by Mr.Mehra….it will hurt…but…I can endure it”,she said in low voice…
She saw his hands to lay still,instead of hugging or comforting her…
“Are you behaving like this,….to…get back your properties..”,he gritted his teeth…
“Scores equaled !!”,she immediately replied..and he unconsciously smiled …He inhaled a sharp breath to control himself from responding to her witty nature…
“Why so stubborn?”,she saw his face..and he turned his gaze on her worried features…
“Why so furious?”,he asked back,and her forehead creased a little…
“You want every thing to happen in a day…No second thoughts…you even threaten me…”
“You dint listen me”,she retorted back…
“So.???…your furious nature will pull more troubles…”,he glared her.
She rested back on his chest..”you are there isn’t…”,…she jerked her head off.. “And…and…I have…Atif”,she winked at him…
He rolled his eyes,biting his cheek, only to control his laugh…
“Smile…smile..”,she poked his lips…
His mobile beeped with a msg…she handed it,without a glance…
He saw her…”you don’t want to know who messages me at this hour?”,
She nodded negative…
He saw her to drew patterns on the pillow lying next…she had been always like this…She never interfered in his privacy…never suspects on his aloof nature…never bothered about his status or anything…only him…all she cared was only him…
He kept his mobile aside…
“Jerry..!!”,his left comforted her back,she jerked at that…
“What?”,she asked without looking him..
“I love you!”,he crooked his neck to see her face..
“I know that!”,she replied..and he laughed after a sec.,holding her close to him..
He tried to remember the guy in pic.,later his eyes widened in surprise…That was Faizal..Lying in a hospital bed.,injured with bandages on his left arm and leg.,and in his forehead too..but how….Prakash has send his pic and a text saying “Remember this idiot?”
He quickly called him.,”How you got this..I mean..”,
“Arjun…I went to Hyderabad for a meeting…a small injury.,and in that hospital.,I got to see this fellow in this heart warming pose…can’t resist you see..So I clicked a pic”,Prakash remarked sarcastically…
“But who?”,he asked..
“No idea..May be a accident..I thought it could be you?”,Prakash remarked ..
“No..no..got busy with some other things.”,he replied and hung the call..
He saw her to lay awake.,after hesitating for a while,he called.,”Jerry..see what Prakash has sent?”…
She moved from his right to his left lying over him.,
“Stop rolling….Get down Jerry..”,he said…
“Iam trying to cover my husband..”,she replied and he slapped her cheek playfully with a smile…
“Faizal..!!”,she exclaimed in shock…
“Yes…Our love!!”,he stiffled his smile…
“why PK din’t send me..”,she pulled his mobile close…
“Leave it..What’s wrong with Faizal’s eye…I was unable to identify him..”,he asked..
“Oh that…I told isn’t…Acid..! that time.,Preeti came,small push and pull between us..so few drops kissed his cheeks”,she smirked… “In a hurry,Preeti dashed over him.,and when he pushed her on me,we both tried to duck.,I did.,she didn’t..so she got hurt..that time.,he too got injured..”
“And you?”,he asked back…
“For me,near thighs..Luckily nothing much… no injuries…”,she said in a sullen voice…
“Then thighs..If not injured why you say..”.
“It wasn’t Jean..so..the dress absorbed acid fast,so slightly…actually..I din’t feel it to burn at all..unless we checked reaching the hospital…It was only Faizal who got mostly injured..
His burn was worse before a year…Serves better”..she nodded her head and gave back his mobile..
“Show me”,he said..
“I gave it..”
“I dint say about mobile…Show your injuries”,he said and tried to pull her pyjamas down..
“What…Its not there now…”,she held his hand and looked him… “Its not even a wound..”,she said irritated..
“But..”
“Aaahhh…Arjun…Plsssss….”,she screamed in his ears…
“What happened..you are so cool today…My Jerry is back!”,he pulled her nose..
“that’s a secret…you need to give me a promise to know that”,she said hugging him…
“Hmm…You need to apologize for your words..to get my promise”,he looked her face intent…
“You too gave back..No apologize..nothing..”,she shook her head…
“Then get down..Stop grinding with your…”,she closed his mouth…
“Senior…Good night”,she pecked his cheek…
“Arjun…did you ask about that legal issue and…”
“I will…stop worrying…”,he patted her back…
“You want me to get down”,she giggled a minute later…
“Its almost past 12..Sleep..”,he pulled her close…
He jerked when he felt something to pull his tees suddenly.,he scrutinized his vision in darkness.,and saw her to sit..rubbing her forehead.,tears…she turned to him..slid down on their bed.,caressed his hair,and placed a dry kiss on his forehead…she gulped water hastily.. and turned to the other side..
She lied to her right.,recalling her nightmare….feeling something heavy to engulf her suddenly,she was pulled away from her reverie….she tried to push him.,but stopped when he
nuzzled his nose under her neck.,with a sleepy moan…caressing his cheek,she pulled his arm close over her middle,and she drifted off to sleep…..
