BORN TO RULE

[Eng] Chapter 28: Enemy of Love 2.0

~Next day~

With the wide smile plastered on her face, Tia is busy painting a portrait of someone with full concentration. At times, she would stop and close her eyes to imagine.

At first, she imagined an amazing pair of dreamy eyes and smiled before getting it down on the canvas.

Then, she drew the other facial features and stepped back to take a look at it. She couldn't help but grin with a tint of red on her cheeks.

"Duffer! He is not even here and you are smiling like an idiot seeing half of the painting," she slapped herself on the forehead.

Next, she closed her eyes again and imagined the smile she could die for.

"Everyone can only see the strict side of yours. But I am the only lucky one whose days start with your smile and ends with the same... Aww... I miss you so much! It's not even a day now, how will I pass a whole week without you?" she talked with the painting as she almost finished it.

Before she could give the painting some finishing touches, there was a knock on the door.

"Good morning," she greets Yohan after opening the door.

"Good morning. If you are ready, can we go for the breakfast?"

"Yes, sure. Just 2 minutes. Come inside."

He entered the suite and looked at the surroundings. He spotted a canvas in the living which raised curiosity in his mind. Tia put the paint brush, she had in her hand, beside the canvas.

After she went to the bedroom, he went to satisfy his curiosity. It was a colored painting of Arjun.

"Isn't it nicely painted?" Tia's voice made him jump back a bit.

She was dressed in a simple salwar-suit and was arranging her handbag.

"Huh? Yes, you have painted it very well. But how did you get a canvas here?" He asked.

"This was definitely done by Arjun. Who else could do this?" she replied smiling. "I am damn sure that it was only him who solved the problen regarding the rooms."

He frowned seeing her talking about Arjun so lovingly.

"Anyways, let's go. We have to leave after having breakfast," he tried to change the topic because he wasn't liking it.

"Arjun's call!" She was delighted to see the caller ID on her phone, "Yohan, you carry on. I will join after talking to Arjun."

"No, it's okay. You talk, I will wait here," he took a seat in the living room and pulled out his phone from his pocket.

"Okay," she shrugged her shoulders.

She went to the bedroom while Yohan looked on from the corner of his eyes.

"Good morning, Raja-sa!" Tia answered the video call excitedly.

"Good morning, Rani-sa. How was your flight?" Arjun asked from the other end of the video call.

"We'll talk about those later. First of all, let me see my son! Where is my Tej?" She groaned.

"Yes, yes. He's right here," Arjun turned the camera and there was Tej giggling.

"Awwllee, my baby! Is Papa taking good care of you? Mumma misses you so much, baby! I wish I could bring you along with me..." her excitement was turning into sadness as she wept quietly.

"Hey, hey, hey. Rani-sa, no crying," Arjun turned the camera back towards him because even Tej's happy face was turning into a sad one, "Rani-sa, see. Seeing you upset, even Tej got upset. It's just a matter of few days. Come back quickly after completing your project. We miss you a lot."
