*Satish Pov*
We both stared at the closed door for a few seconds before turning to stare at each other. He just shook his head when I opened my mouth before getting up and walked towards the kitchen.
“I need to know the reason, Mr. David. Something must have happened for you to behave like this.” I commented following him while he opened the cupboards one after the other.
“Like what?” he asked, moving towards the small refrigerator present at the corner.
“You suddenly lost a race which was an easy one and even rejected a new commercial before that. I never saw you drinking more than one glass during these five years, but you were completely drunk that day and even got into a fight.” I pointed out and he finally turned to stare at me.
“I didn’t get into any fight. He was the one who beat the crap out of me.” He pointed back and I just shook my head.
“Th
*Palak Pov*“Are you okay, Palak?” I opened my eyes only to meet two pairs of worried eyes staring at me and I can guess a hint of curiosity added to it.“It’s been four days and you look worse everyday day. Why don’t you have a check up right now?” Tina added to Veer’s question.“I am fine! I just need to sleep.” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes and started eating the lunch they both brought for me.I just closed my eyes for a few seconds while waiting for them to return with our lunch, but I don’t know when I drifted off into sleep. I can understand their worry, but there is nothing much wrong except me being deprived of sleep.“Your fan is causing trouble again?” Veer asked, frowning and I gave him a nod without saying anything else.I can’t explain what is happening during these four days properly. It’s been three
*Third Person Pov*He knows that there will be no result if he just stay here without doing anything but at present his mind is completely blocked.He was still, contemplating with everything and came out of those thoughts when the door to his cabin burst open followed by an angry woman marching towards his table.“How many times should I visit you to make that mind of yours change?” saying that she threw the file on his table with full force.“Not again!” he mumbled, rubbing his forehead.“Are you in your right mind? How can you… how can you behave in this way?” she shouted and he is just glad that she had minimum sense to close the door behind her otherwise it would have caused a huge spectacle.“I already gave my answer to your plan and it will not change no matter how many you ask me.” He pointed out before throwing the file into the bin beside his tabl
*Palak Pov*I slowly opened my eyes only to close them immediately feeling a sense of discomfort in my head. Why is my head paining so much? Why is my stomach churning? Wait! Why is this bed so small suddenly?I tried to turn around to sleep on my back instead of on my side, but felt something pressing into my back, not letting me move at all.“You are finally awake?” hearing those words, I turned my head in a splash, but groaned feeling dizzy with that movement.“What are you doing here?” I asked, frowning even though I kept my eyes closed feeling pain in them. Why is it feeling too much of an effort to even open them?Why am I even asking these many questions without any pause in the first place? Ugh! I hugged myself hoping this discomfort just goes away along with getting answers to all my questions.“You don’t remember?” this time his question final
*David Pov*I sighed climbing the stairs after the car left, but couldn’t take a step towards the room with everything that happened today. Sitting on the last step, I leaned onto the railing to not enter her home with this bad mood.As there is still some time for her to return home, it is better to push away all my thoughts before that happens so as to not disturb her about my problems. Maybe I should have waited for a week before entering that company to not be in the mindset like now. I still can’t believe the confrontation I had with him today.“I don’t think it is a good idea to get called into the CEO’s cabin on the day I am just showing my face to the HR department.” I mumbled walking into his cabin while he just stared at me.“What? Should I start knocking from today itself?” I asked arrogantly before walking towards the chai
*Satish Pov*“Did you find out?” I asked the moment my CEO called me when I was waiting for David to finish his work and return so that we can return to his hotel room to discuss about his next project.He was already grumpy when Ms. Palak called him up saying not to come back to her place today as she will be out of town. So, he has to stay back in Mumbai for this weekend and he is not at all cool about it.“They don’t want him to be the face of their company like that right now. So, we have to continue with the new project. I don’t know why did he rejected it in the first place.” She complained while giving me the result which he and I already realized the moment she suggested it.“This CEO is not at all like me and just closed the conversation with a single word. Now, he doesn’t have any chance to reject this project.” She added while I sighed.
*Palak Pov*I glanced at the message again, not believing those words, even though I have checked it again and again from the morning. I shook my head to not think about that anymore before glancing at my senior who is working hard to teach the interns about the new equipment.However, I found him staring at me with a frown and I glanced around to see everyone is looking at me instead of the equipment.“I am sorry about that.” I mumbled switching off my mobile phone before walking towards the senior realizing he asked me to do something but I totally missed.“Are you alright? You seem lost from the morning itself. You can go home and take a rest. You already helped me with everything for the past few weeks.” He whispered when I shifted to take place before him as a patient for demo.I don’t know what pushed me into getting involved with whatever work is present and maybe
*Palak Pov*“Are we going to wait at the theatre itself?” I glanced up hearing Tina’s voice and found her talking to Veer trying to lower her voice as much as she can but with their seats closer to me, it was not that difficult.“We can wait at the café if you wish to.” To my surprise even Veer is whispering back.“Is it a date or am I being abandoned?” I asked, raising my voice and they immediately glanced at me in surprise before looking around to see who heard me.“Well?” I stressed, but still there was no response from them.“Today is Saturday, Dr. Palak.” Tina stated making me frown at her.“I am aware of that fact. Are you trying to dodge my question? Then you both have definitely abandoned me.” I mumbled sighing with a depressed look before standing up to leave the room as it is time for us go home.“Wait! I
*Palak Pov*Am I really doing the right thing? I thought again, even while packing up my things. I don’t know why, but after I made that decision two weeks back to shift to Mumbai, I felt the need to ask myself again and again whether I really need to be doing this.Yes! I want to be close to him, but then again this is my life too which I settled for myself. But then again, my Dad had a hand in this and that extra thought is pushing me more towards the shift.“Have you packed everything?” Tina asked, finishing her work and walking towards me along with Veer.“Yeah! Was it fine to handle those patients?” I asked, glancing at the files I passed to them.“Kind of! It was a good thing that you informed them ahead. We all know they generally don’t like to change their consultants. Anyway, we will be getting a new doctor soon and that will help us more.” Veer replied instead
#After Three Years#*Palak Pov*"Be careful, Elisha!"
*Palak Pov*I smiled when Aunty and Jasmine continued to fuss over Eli the moment we returned on Sunday night itself as both David and I had to go to work the next day.I know we have to talk about his reaction when I said I don't want to hold any ceremony fo
*David Pov*"Palak!" I whispered her name again to make sure everything is real and not just a dream.I really hope right now I am not in a dream holding her in my arms while lying on the bed in her room. Will I be in my room the moment I open my eyes?"Hmm..." she made the same sound like before not saying anything else and I frowned more hearing the same response."What is it?" she finally asked when I stopped calling her."What if... what if you disappear from my hold when I open my eyes?" I asked honestly not wishing to keep that doubt in my head."I could!" she replied and this is just confirming that all this is really a dream."But if I hold you back, it wouldn't feel like that. Right?" she asked, turning around in my arms before I felt her arms holding me back."David!" she called after a few seconds and I slowly opened my eyes only to meet her stare."Still a dream?" she asked, shi
*Palak Pov*"I never married James and at church it was just an act. He requested the pastor to just follow along and not be serious about it." I added, ignoring everyone's shocked looks except for Shruthi but she too stared at me in shock hearing these words."James gave me an option to help me go through my difficult pregnancy with some support and also to get complete parental rights without any difficulty. I didn't want to use him for this and so I chose to marry David. I had another reason to do so too." I continued when no one started saying or reacting in some way other than to stare at me in shock.What else should I say? Should I even tell them about my revenge plan? But it will be too much to share with everyone I guess."What? Why didn't you tell me?" I didn't expect Satish to react first and he is actually questioning David and not me."I requested... ordered him to not tell anyone. You were waiting outsid
*Palak Pov*Why are they staring at me like that? I thought meeting their stares back and they immediately glanced away. I was lost in my own thoughts from morning because of that person and didn't give much thought about this.But now they are being too bold
*Palak Pov*What have I done just now? I thought, glancing at him and he has the same expression, but that shock left when I found Satish is pushing his way to reach us from the crowd.He pointed out at the guy standing beside my brother and I know that he is the son of the client we came here for. No wonder it was easy for them to act this way as this was his house."I need to add that my husband has been drugged in this party and we are going to take a legal action." I added which stunned Satish but he calmly shifted to stand beside us."We caught the helper who helped the two people who planned this and we have the security footage." He mumbled making me sigh in relief."Thank you for having high level security in your new home, but I need to have a word with you." I said, looking at the client who is still having a bewildered expression on his face."Get the main culprit to get arrested first." I ordered Sa
*David Pov*"You are grasping things too fast. You can join our company after graduation and become successfully independent for sure." I commented when she finished the work I passed to her within a short time."If I join our company then how can I be independent?" she asked, shaking her head and Palak snorted hearing that question, but glanced away to concentrate on her own work I gave her.
*Palak Pov*I frowned, looking at the number I was sure will not appear on my phone screen again instead of the one I was expecting.It's been nearly a week since he went to the meeting and he continued to call everyday in the evening and then at night. He already knows my schedule, but he still calls during my work timings and ask about Eli.
*David Pov*"Is something wrong, David? You had a conference during this time, right?" Mom asked when I calmly walked out of the kitchen after she rushed away."It got postponed." I mumbled, still in shock with my own actions.What have I done? Will she get angry and leave? Oh god! Why didn't I stop myself? Do I regret? No! Somehow I don't regret it, but scared about the result for sure. But then she... she kissed me back and of not for Jasmine's footsteps, I don't know what would have happened.It is a good thing that we heard Jasmine or else it would have been a disaster for sure if they caught us in that situation. Damn it! What am I even thinking right now when there is a chance for her to leave this house because of this?I heard their discussion about the shopping they did and the shopping they have to do later for some time before escaping into my study room, but continued to pace around thinking about a plan t
