Hello!
"I can't believe this is happening. " I groaned in annoyance.
"Yeah, must be a dream come true for you, right? " He asked mocking me.
"You wish Mr. Malhotra." I faked a smile and he just shrugged.
"C'mon Miss. Murthy just accept it that you are on cloud nine right now since I'm taking you to my place. You can show off by telling this to the people in office. They'll be really jealous. " He said smirking causing me to look at him with utmost disinterest.
"Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Malhotra but I'm clearly not interested in making anyone jealous of my misery. " I retorted and he looked at me with amusement.
"Pretend as much as you want to but we both know the truth. " He said raising his left eyebrow.
"At least I do. " I told him faking another smile.
Getting more annoyed with his mocking, I turned my face away to look outside the window of his luxurious car.
It was still raining lightly outside and the roads were void of any living form. Complete silence and darkness had engulfed the roads and it surprisingly looked beautiful.
Tring tring
I heard the tune and realized that I have received a message. Taking out my phone from my pocket, I checked the name of the sender and found Chachi's name. Oh God!
Which one?
I shook my head at her message.
Haven't checked yet. Just going to check.
I messaged back and after a few seconds came her reply.
Let me know positively by tomorrow. Good night.
Resting my head on the window frame, I sighed with closed eyes.
"I thought I'm the only one who annoys you. " I heard Mr. Malhotra speaking and looked at him after opening my eyes, to find him frowning at me.
"You are not that special to me Mr. Malhotra." I faked a smile and he looked really displeased by my answer.
"Stop. " He said sternly and his driver stopped the car.
"Get out. " My eyes widened at his words which were directed to me.
"What? " I asked in disbelief and he shifted his gaze to the front.
"Out! " He yelled suddenly after a minute of pause causing me to jolt.
I immediately got out of his car followed by his driver, who gave me my bag before getting in again.
And with a blink of an eye, the car began moving and I was left alone in this isolated road at midnight.
A few hours back he was talking about my safety, ironical much?
God! I have never seen a crazier guy and with all my might, I just wish to punch him at least once!
I need to get back home now and since home isn't too far, I can walk but this is kinda scary!
And I was calling all this beautiful a minute ago, ironical again?
Shaking my head, I began walking and saw a dog walking towards me. Gulping, I stood frozen on my spot and saw the dog coming closer.
Damn! Will he bite me? No no, I haven't done anything to him! But wait a minute, he can do a lot! Great idea Nandini!
I checked my bag and found a packet of biscuits that I always keep in my bag. Taking it out, I sat on my knees and fed the biscuit to the dog, caressing his hair. And this is when I realised it's Boxer, our street dog.
If this dog will accompany me till home, I will not have to worry about my safety.
My plan worked and Boxer was now in my team completely, all thanks to the biscuits.
He not only accompanied me till the building but also barked at every being in sight. That's why they say dogs are way better than humans.
I caressed his hair, giving him more biscuits before getting inside my building and taking the lift to my floor.
I can't believe Mr. Malhotra did that to me! How can someone do that? That's inhuman, that dog has more humanity than that Head of Evil! And I still can't understand what's his problem with me, why am I on his hit list?
I had to change again before finally going to bed after this one heck of a day!
Tring tring
I heard my phone again and checked the sender's name to find the message from office.
Frowning I checked it to find that there's an off tomorrow. At least he did something good.
Keeping my phone aside, I just ducked my face inside the pillow and I was so tired that it didn't took me even a minute before I fell asleep.
.*.*.*.*.*.
My sleep was disturbed because of someone furiously pressing my doorbell.
Frowning, I checked the time and my eyes widened. It was 4 am! Who could be here at this time?
I got down from my bed and walked towards the living room, turning the lights on.
Peeking from the pinhole of the door, my eyes widened when I saw a tensed Mr. Malhotra outside my door.
This man is certified crazy! I'm not opening the door. I took my steps back from the door and silently sat on the couch.
"Miss. Murthy open the door. " He yelled before pressing the bell again.
Should I call the police? Yes definitely!
I ran to my room to look for my phone and found it dead near my pillow. Damn!
Putting it on charge, I heard the bell again and my heartbeat raised. I slowly walked towards the living room and heard him knocking on the door loudly.
"Miss. Murthy!! Open the door or I'll break it. " My eyes widened at his words and breathing heavily, with a vase in my hand, I opened the door slowly.
Was he crying is the first thought came in my mind seeing his condition. His eyes were red and shirt was half out of his pant. Loose tie and two open buttons of the shirt clearly showed how tired he was.
His hair were ruffled and he was looking at me with as if he's seeing me after ages.
"Nandini. " I felt butterflies in my stomach when my name came out of his shivering lips.
He was breathing in relief but I was left in disbelief seeing his condition.
"Mr. Malhotra. " I dropped the vase as soon as I saw his eyes getting moist. Am I dreaming?
He dropped on the floor on his knees making it even harder to believe that I'm not dreaming.
He closed his eyes and I was blankly looking at him.
"I'm sorry " I was taken aback by his apology and I was just praying that I don't faint right away.
"Mr. Malhotra." I sat on my knees in front of him and he opened his teary eyes to look at him.
He looked at me for a moment before doing something that left me stunned.
He hugged me! Uff!
He was hugging me tightly as if I'll disappear in thin air if he doesn't and I was getting awkward and.... Special?
No no Nandini, remember what he did to you?
Shaking my head, I held his shoulders trying to get him off me but suddenly I felt all his weight on me cause me to lose my balance and we both fell on the floor with him on top of me.
Uncomfortable!
"Mr. Malhotra. " I tried to get him off me but horror engulfed me when I realised that he had fainted in my arms. Damn!
