Book Two : Emboldened (Completed)✔️

Chapter Eight

Geeta looked confused all of a sudden............why had her "hunter-raani" turned into a "mamta-ki-moorat"?.............she looked upto me, Ele and walked out of kitchen to face Ved..........

Saabji...........(she giggled unnecessarily)...........woh memsaab chutti de rahi hai.........kya main jaau?............agar aap mana karoge to nahin jaaungi........

Ele climbed down the counter all set to punch her as I held her back.............I know she's angry, but then breaking my maid's bones would lead to my loss...........who would handle my house when I'm out at work...........why should I be selfless all the time?............listen, I can be selfish too okay..........

Errr..........Geeta............main keh rahi hoon na, tum chali jaao...........ghar ki chinta mat karo hum sambhal lenge...........philhaal tum khudko sambhaalo.....

She took my hint quickly and made a dash to her little corner to grab her jhola, before lurking out of the house............on bidding her good-byes, I turned back to Ele, who looked finally happy on doing away the thorn in her love-life..........

So...........bye guys...........anddddddd............enjoyyyyyyyyyy

I quickly dashed out, closing the main door behind me, as I could still bet Ved was red with blush.............I had never seen a man blush so much as he does...........in Ele's case it was different always, Ved would be the shy one whereas she would be the one calling shots............and in my case I was always the meek one, and Dev would be the boss..........urrrgghhhh..........not again, get him out of your head Sona, he's no more a part of your life...........

-------------------------------

AT THE KULFI PARLOUR

Me and Avni were having a contest...........who would finish maximum number of kulfi's first.............as far as Ele's warning was concerned, well it was tossed out of the window long back............me and Avni were a dangerous combo, and leaving us together alone could be dangerous............very very dangerous..........I was busy licking my kulfi stick earnestly, as it was dripping down my lips and palms..........but who cared, being a businesswoman doesn't mean you need to be sophisticated all the time............business is confined to the walls of your office, and right now it's funtime people...........

Mind if I join in too?

My head snapped suddenly............I starred at the intruder of our peaceful outing without batting an eyelid..........competition was long forgotten...........Avni clapped her hands loudly as she finished her share first............she had won the competition and I had yet again lost...........and the reason for my loss was the man I couldn't stand around me anymore............Dev!!!!!!

Dev Chachu............I won.............Yayyy!!!!!!

Why is she calling him Chachu.............she should call him Maasa right...........he's my hubby so, when I'm her maasi then he's her.............God, Sona you are unbelievable..........how can you still consider him your husband............he has been so bad to you girl............you should disown him, just ignore his presence around...........and you dared to loose your Kulfi contest for him, shame on you!!!!!

What the hell are you doing here?.............nobody has asked you to join, get the hell out of here!!!!

I reprimanded him softly as he took the seat next to me..........a part of me still wished him to be by my side always...........but a part of me was brutally hurt by his betrayal..........but sometimes I wondered, if we hadn't parted so bitterly as we did, if our Pia had been with us today............wouldn't we have looked just as cute and perfect as we looked now............any onlooker would call us a happy family of three.........but only I knew, for me neither family existed, nor happiness..........

I was just passing by this side, when I happened to see Avni sitting here.........so I just dropped in to say hii...........don't worry Ma'am, I won't take much of your time...........I will leave in a while..........

Why is he behaving so formally............did he suffer from a memory loss?..........is that why he didn't contact me in those 6 months?............did he meet with an accident too?..........should I ask him directly if he remembers me or not?...........shut up Sona, just shut up...........he has not forgotten anything...........didn't Ele say he spoke to her.........he even asked her about you...........and he even tried addressing you as Shona once in office, it was you who shunned him and asked him to address you as Ma'am...........it's just that right now he's feigning ignorance...........he wants you to run back into his arms, but wait, that's never going to happen...........never even in your dreams Mr. Raichand.........

No Dev Chachu...........please stay back with us...........we'll go around the city today..........and I want to do shopping for my new doll house too..........

Why is Avni so reliable on him...........how do I tell my princess that he's not worth her trust...........he's just using you to get back in my life baby...........don't trust him........

Avni...........it's our outing right.........why are you asking him to come along...........maasi will help you shop for your doll house........let him go........

I shot daggers at him as he fidgeted a bit before trying to get up from his seat...........yes, leave............please leave Dev..............I can't hold back for too long while being around you..........

No Maasi..............Chachu has a list of my dolls and pets...........let him come along please.........

Hell............now this was all I had to face............can't this man leave me alone for a day even?...........is he stalking me or something?.............I raised my hand defeated as I got up wiping my sticky hands with a tissue..........he quickly signaled the waiter to get a bowl of water for me to wash my hands.........not wanting to create a scene, I quietly dipped my hands in the bowl to wash them clean...........he pulled out his wallet to pay when I placed a Rs. 500 note on the table, no I literally banged it on the table...........

I'm capable of paying for my expenses...........

I moved out pulling Avni with me as he leapt forward picking her up.........

After you Ma'am.........

Lord, he and his formalities.............I hate him for this...........wait n watch Dev............tomorrow I will make sure you are out of my sight atleast for a week...........I'm so done with you...........I just can't stand your presence anymore......he offered to drive my car, as I placed the keys in his hand..........ofcourse, I will treat him in the worst way possible, so that he leaves my firm soon...........

Once at the toy shop, me and Avni got down as I looked back to tell him.......

Park the car and meet us at the kids section..........and be quick.......

Heha..........the wicked me............I will manage to piss him off soon..........but he just smiled at me and nodded............why is he not affected?.............why does he behave so aloof..............does he even remember he had once managed to marry me secretly and even impregnated me with his seed..........horrible man!!!!!!!!!

I had just picked up a few things when I saw him jogging to the place where we were..........as he approached us, I just stuffed all my shopping bags in his hand and made him walk behind us like our driver...........you deserve this Dev, remember you had abandoned me at the mall one day, when I refused to buy a dress of your choice.......now, it's payback time..........

We shopped for around two hours after which he dropped us back home...........feeling pity, I asked him to take my car along, and drop it the next day..........no not at all, I did feel bad to send him alone at night, but then a fresh new plan was cropping up somewhere at the back of my mind............he kissed Avni goodnight, as we walked back to my apartment...........let the new dawn arrive Dev Raichand...........you'll see what an annoyed lady can do!!!!!!!!!!!
