"What the...!"I groaned angrily and cupped my head again while Zain laughed coming into my cabin.
"What? See We didn't go out for lunch and you missed the opportunity to spend time with me thus you are crying!In short you love me that's why you are crying!"He grinned foolishly while sitting on chair infront and I raised my head up listening his pathetic logic.
"Do you really think it's funny?"I gritted and he laughed shaking his head making more tears slip from my eyes.
"You know what Zain! Just get out from here!" His laughter infuriated me more and I stood up from my chair.
"Arey!"He giggled as I tried pulling his hand making him stand up from chair.
"Aaaah!"I screamed as he pulled me and I fell on him.I looked at him with questioning eyes,nervousness casting over me.He too looked disturbed feeling my body over him. "Sorry!"He apologised sincerely and I nodded softly.I was about to move back when the door sprang open. "Miss.Mu..."
We turned our eyes at him and he looked stiffened.His eyes stopped at my waist where Zain has kept his palms to keep me steady.
Immediately I pushed off his palms before Sir could dig holes in them for holding my waist.I moved back and dusted off my shirt.His scarlet eyes rolled towards me and then at Zain before he went out of my cabin,slamming the glass door behind.
After a momentary silence Zain snickered,
"Ohh! Someone was jealous!" I gave him mind-leaving-my-cabin look before rolling my eyes.
"Mano ya na mano janeman Locha-e-ulfat hogya!"He dashed his shoulder with mine with a wink and I squeezed my brows at him, "Are you mad?" to which he gave me a cheeky grin.
"Na hona tha Kyon hogaya!Locha-e-ulfat hogya!"He sang loudly in my ear before going out of my cabin and I stood there confused,irritated.
I glanced at my watch and it was 2:00.
Lunch time bhi khtm hogaya!Aaj tou nashta bhi nhi kiya tha maine!
Caressing my empty tummy sadly I sat on my chair.
What should I do now?
Suddenly my cod-less phone rang and I picked it up lazily only to jump on my place listening this growl,"In my cabin!"
Aiyappa!
After pouting sadly and chanting some mantras I stood up from chair and left my cabin.
"Yes sir!"After entering into his cabin as usual without knocking I muttered meekly.My eyes curved towards his accommodation room which looked empty and I sighed happily,don't know why.
Lagta hai churail chali gayi!
"Miss.Murthy!" Mr.Malhotra's snarl brought me out of my thoughts and I looked towards him.He was breathing harshly,his eyes were so red that I stepped back in horror.
"Come over here!" He ordered amidst his clenched jaws and I took two steps closer to his desk. My heart was on a rapid run of beats already.
"I SAID COME OVER HERE!" He shouted exasperatedly making me shiver in fear.My eyes located his finger which was pointing his laps and I felt a tear swimming in them.
"I can't do this sir!" I uttered in a feeble tone totally frightened.
"Why?" He growled standing up from his chair.
I took steps back as he walked towards me.
"Sir please!" Two more tears slipped from my eyes as he slammed his both palms on the wall behind me.His heavy breaths were so close to my face.
"You can enjoy in Zain's arms then why can't in mine?" He whispered gritted and I raised my teary eyes at him.
"You have no right to say like this sir!" Though I was crying but I was angry too,he can't raise finger on my character every now and then.
"Kyon?Kyon nhi keh sakta main! Zain sab kar sakta hai tumhare sath lekin main kuch nhi kar sakta!" He slammed his palm again on the wall and I jounced on my wobbly knees.
Before I could say something he continued,
"You know what if I found you and Zain together ever again believe me you will see my worst!" He threatened me angrily and my frowned doubled.
"Now leave!" Turning he pointed towards door and I pursed my lips,controlling my angry tears.
"Mere dil main jo ayega main wo karungi! Meri zindagi hai ye aur main apne tareeqe se jiyungi!" I barked at him with my tears and before he could turn I left his cabin.
I don't wanna work with this man!
Snuffling I picked up my bag and left his office building,hurriedly.
.......
"Nandani! Aaj itni jaldi aagayi beta? Is everything fine?"As soon as appa found me on door he rained me with innumerable questions.
"Appa we won't live here! Hum ja rahe hain yahan se!" I walked towards my room and pulled out my backpack from cupboard.
"Hua kia hai?Kuch bta tou sahi!"He cupped my shoulder stopping me from thumping my clothes in the bag.
"Appa I'll tell you everything but not now! Der hojaegi appa!" With much difficulty I stopped my tears and appa looked more worried.
"Teri amma ki akhri nishani hai iss ghar main,main kese jaon iss ghar ko chor kar!" Appa smiled helplessly and I couldn't control more.I hugged him tightly and bursted out in tears.
"Nandu!" He whispered in astonishment seeing me crying so hard.
"Nandani! Beta kia hua hai?Why are you crying?Teri nayi job achi nhi hai kia?Did your new boss do something wrong with you!Tell me I'll deal with him!" He turned angry in no moment but at that time I was too busy in crying that I didn't notice his raising beats.
"Appaa!" I cried harder remembering my all insults.
"Bol beta kia hua hai..."He asked again but this time his breaths turned harsh and I moved back from the hug with jerk.
"Appa!" I shouted as he fisted his skin over his heart and fell on floor.
"Appa! Kia hua ?"My tears were flowing like a stream.
Doctor!
I ran towards lounge where I had threw my bag and fished out my phone hurriedly from it,my palms were shivering badly.
At the very moment a loud sound echoed in our house and my cell fell from my hand.I palmed my ears but my eyes widened when I found Mr.Malhotra standing before the broken door and bull dozer outside our house.
He was smirking but as soon as his eyes caught my disheveled sight that smirk vanished from his face.
I ran towards him.
"App..a!" I cried folding my hands infront of him and he ran towards the room from where appa's shrill came.
"Appa! Nhi ! Aap ko kuch nhi hoga appa!" I cried taking his head in my laps when Sir bent down and picked appa in his arms.
"Kuch nhi hoga! Believe me!"He blinked his lashes at me before running out while after thinking for one minute I followed him behind.
"Sir! Jaldi ! Please Sir!" I cried more and Sir fastened his car speed.
"Appa nothing will happen to you! Main kuch hone hi nhi dungi aapko!" I traced appa's shivering cheeks,he was still wincing in pain,clutching his heart.
"Tu...apna...khyaal..."Before he could utter some bullshit I palmed his mouth and showed him my angry eyes.
"Kuch nhi hoga aapko!Kuch bhi nhi! Samjhe aap!" I shouted at him and he gave me a weak smile before he flinched in pain.
"Sir! Jaldi !"
"Bas pohonch gaye!" He pushed car brakes and we came out of car.He again carried appa in his arms while I ran behind him.
"Doctor!Emergency!"He shouted hysterically as he ran across the corridors of hospital with appa in his arms.
"Oh shit! Nurse !" Doctor in the corridor glance at Appa and then shrieked.Soon appa was laid on stretcher and was taken to emergency ward.
"Appaaa...!"I cried falling on my knees and Sir sat beside me instantly.
"Kuch nhi hoga uncle ko!" He cupped my cheeks softly,trying to calm me down but I shook my head.
"Appa ko kuch hogya tou main nhi reh paungi Sir!Main mar jaungi...main..!"Before I could cry more Sir clasped me in his arms.
"Sssshhh I promise kuch nhi hoga unhe!"He hugged me tightly,the way he was holding me in his arms it looked like he was feeling my pain.
..........
An hour passed since Appa was taken to emergency ward.I was sitting rigid on chair infront emergency ward while Mr.Malhotra was standing in one corner.After that hug we were just stealing glances of each other.
"How's my dad?" The doctor just came out from emergency ward and I ran towards him.
"He is Fine! Your prayers did wonder! It was a minor heart attack but the chances of major heart attack are more active now!Please keep him away from stress,take care of him properly! Your father really needs care!" The doctor left after asking sir to accompany him as he wanted to chat about appas medication.
"Appa!" I stepped into the private room where appa was shifted.
I sat beside him on the bed and he opened his eyes slowly.
"Bohot maza ata haina aapko mughe aese rula k!" I cried holding his palm and he smiled weakly.
"Bas rona band kar ab!Kuch nhi hua mughe!" With his weak palm he wiped my tears and I kissed his palm before resting my cheek on it.
"Wo kahan hai?" Appa asked and I frowned before I understood for whom he was asking.
"Sir?He was with doctor ! Ek minute main dekhti hn!" Appa nodded at me and I went out of his room only to find Sir standing outside there with some medicines in the plain shopper.
He looked away immediately and raised his palm giving me those medicines.
"Ye lo!"
I took those medicines while peeping into his eyes where I found some shame.
"Take care of him!"He spoke without looking at me and turned when I spoke from behind, "Thankyou Sir! Agar aap na hote tou shayad aaj appa!" I stopped abruptly as tears gathered in my eyes.
"Agar Aaj main na hota tou uncle ki ye haalat bhi na hoti!" Turning he whispered with apologetic shameful eyes and I stepped towards him.
"Aap itne bure nhi haina?" I asked tearfully and he raised his low lashes at me.The softness in his eyes vanished and again I saw his features getting harsh.
"On Monday 8:00 am sharp with black coffee in my cabin!" He spoke sternly and a tear slipped from my eye.He walked out from there and I closed my eyes,leaning on the door behind.
Pta nhi kon hain ye! Farishta ya shaitaan! Main kese jaanu kon hain ye!
......
After three days,Monday.8:05 am.
"Black coffee sir!" I entered hurriedly into the cabin and kept Sir's coffee on the desk during which the pencil holder lying there fell from my hand.
Sir raised his eyes at me and I muttered a "Sorry!" Before gathering all spilled stationary and keeping it again in pencil holder.
"You are five minutes late!" He spoke reading his file again and I pouted.
"Itna tou chalta hai!" I made a puppy face and he slammed his file shut making me jump.
"Itna bhi nhi chalta mere office main!" He glared at me and my happy mood went in bin.
For the first time I was talking to him normally but he was adamant on spoiling my mood.Actually he had appointed two nurses for appa at home so that his care couldn't be neglected in my absence.His this gesture and at that day when he helped us in the time of adversity had unknowingly builted a soft corner in my heart for him.
"Miss.Murthy!" His sudden snarl slammed me out and I gulped looking at him.
"Where are you lost?" He glared at me again and I shook my head hastily.
"Nowhere sir!Nothing!Kuch bhi nhi!" I smiled and he glared at me before picking up a file.
"These are incomplete graphics,complete them!" He threw that file towards me and I scrunched my nose picking it up.
Monster!
"Where are you going?" As I was about to leave his cabin he spoke from behind.
"In my cabin!" I turned giving him a nonchalant look.
"This is your cabin from today onwards!" He rolled his eyes towards his left side and my mouth went wide when I saw a small desk with chair lying there.
"So! Get back to work Miss.Murthy!" He smirked seeing my ballooned face and I fisted my palms glaring at him.
Ek din main bhi aese hi nachaungi aapko apni unglion par!Ye Nandani Murthy ka waada raha!
After glaring at him for one more time I walked towards that little desk and sat on chair sadly.
Haaye! Mera itna bara wala cabin bhi cheen liya mughse! Monster Malhotra!
"Afsos karne se behtar kaam par dhyaan do!"
I rolled my eyes towards him and he was busy typing something on his laptop.A smirk was caressing his lips which was infuriating me more.
"May I come in sir?" A very familiar voice boomed in my ears and an automatic grin plastered on my face.
"Zain!" I squealed happily and ran towards him without caring about the monster.
"I missed you so much!" I confessed sincerely while hugging him and he wrapped his arms around me.I felt his smirk on my neck but I cared least about it.
"I missed you too girl!" He broke the hug and smiled at me.
"Agar ye bharat milaap hogya ho tou you guys will mind getting back to work!" We heard Sir hissing from behind and I turned towards him.He glared at me and I twisted my lips before walking towards my desk.
"Mr.Zain meet me in lunch time!I have something important to discuss with you!" Sir glared at Zain while Zain nodded controlling his stupid grin.
He left the cabin after winking at me and I smiled sadly.
"Maine tumse kaha tha na Zain se dur rehne k liye!" Suddenly Mr.Malhotra came towards me and my eyes widened in horror.
"Ek baari main samagh nhi ata na tumhe?" He scowled holding my chair's both arm rests,bending towards me.
"But...We..are...friends..sir..!"I stammered going back into my chair as much as I could.
"Friends my foot! Tum sirf meri...!"He raised his finger at me while pursing his lips and I frowned,raising my brows at him.
"Main kia?" I asked confused and he pressed his lips more before going back with a jerk.
"God! I will turn crazy !" He scratched his hair with both palms and I continued to look at him with confused eyes.
"Aaj k baad tum mere ilawa kisi se bhi baat nhi karogi! Samjhi tum!" He turned towards me suddenly and I bounced on my chair.
"Ok!" I bobbed my head like a scared rabbit and he stomped out of his cabin.
Aiyappa ye Sir ko hua kia hai akhir?
