Chapter 9

Viren , Alya and her parents were discussing Alya's parent's wedding anniversary plans , what to do tomorrow , Anisha  walked near them and said with attitude :" Tomorrow , few guests are coming ".

She forwarded the list toward Alya's mother and said :" Prepare all these items till 1 PM and clean the house , the guests are very important . I want everything perfect , and on time ".  Viren , Alya and her parents looked at each other , not understanding what to say . Viren stands up from his seat and said :" Ma'am , I told you tomorrow is uncle and aunty anniversary ,  we are going outside . You asked servants to do these things ". 

Anisha folds her hand on the chest and said looking at Viren :" Mr Malhothra , I think I did not give you right to question my decisions  . I am the owner of this house and yours too, so it would be better if you stay silent when I was talking to my workers . By the way , I forget to inform your leave has been cancelled because tomorrow it's compulsory for every worker to come to the office tomorrow ". 

She shifted her gaze toward Alya and her parents and said strictly :" Remember , I want everything perfect . I will not tolerate a single mistake ". She looked at their faces , seeing their paled face , a satisfying smile come on her face . 

Anisha was walking toward her room when Viren rushed toward her and hold her hands angrily and said angrily :" Why are you doing this ? You have some hidden intention behind every thing , you knew tomorrow is their anniversary . You are doing everything intentionally , you are intentionally trying to hurt everyone . Why ?". 

Anisha jerked his hand and said angrily :" I am not answerable to you ", Viren looked at her and said :" It can be either you have some hidden motive or you are sadist and selfish person who likes hurting people ".

Anisha  smile faintly and said :" It's your choice , you can think whatever you want, I don't care ".

"Yes , I knew that . You don't care. You are the selfish person, who don't understand other's pain .  ": Viren  snapped at her, 

Anisha started laughing at him :" Yes , yes .... you are correct Mr Malhothra , I am selfish person . I like when people were sad . I don't have a heart ....but you can't do anything because you are my servant . You can just sit and watch the drama , nothing else you can do . And this is the last time , I am warning you, don't touch me ". She looked at him for a good one minutes and left for her office . 

In the evening , Anisha  was walking toward her room when she heard Alya's voice :"  Viren, it's okay . We can celebrate mom dad's anniversary  in the evening , we will go to nearby hotel or some place ". 

Alya's mother added :" Yes, beta ( son ) , Alya is right . Why are we spoiling our mood for that girl , she is such a bitch ". 

Viren  interrupt her and said :" Aunty , I know she did wrong, but we don't have to say something bad about anyone ". Alya 's mother made a face, but nodded her head . Anisha  stood there for few minutes , she picked up her phone and dialed someone number and walked toward her room . 

Next day , Alya and her mother were arranging dishes on dining table when Anisha  welcome her guests , she said with a smile :" Hello Mr Mittal and Mr Sharma , welcome to my home ". 

They smile and shake hand with Anisha, Mr Mittal smile and said :" Thank you for inviting us to your home", then she welcomed them inside and asked to sit on the sofa . Anisha settled herself on the sofa and shouted :" Alya.. Alya , bring water for our guests ", then she asked them :" What would you like to have , tea or coffee ?". 

Mr Mittal replied :" Coffee "

Mr Sharma replied :" Coffee "

She turned toward Alya and going to speak when she saw Viren was entering the house , she walked toward him and said joining her hand with his , making everyone present in the shocked except the guests . She lovingly said :"  Viren  , you came. I was waiting for you . Guests are already here , let me introduce you to them ". She dragged him and introduced to the guests :"  Mr Mittal , Mr Sharma meet my husband Viren  Malhothra ", then she introduced  Viren to everyone . Viren was shocked to see her behavior  , it was her who did not want anyone to know about their marriage and here she was introducing him as her husband . 

He composed himself and shake hand with the guests, Anisha made him sit on the sofa . Anisha and the guests were discussing on the project . Viren  was in his room to change his clothes while Alya and her mother was serving tea and coffee, by mistake cup fell on the floor , Anisha gets up from the sofa and shouted on Alya :" You can't do one thing properly . Look at this ..... I am sorry Mr Mittal ", she again turned toward Alya and ordered her :" Alya ,  clean this fast! ". Alya was shocked to hear her , she was stood there like  a statue . 

Anisha  yelled at her :" Don't you have ear , I said clean this . I don't like to repeat my words ". Alya closed her eyes , tears started rolling through her eyes . With teary eyes , she started picking cup pieces . Her parents are looking at her with tears , while  Anisha was looking at her with a satisfying smile .

Anisha  who just entered , shocked to see the scene . He was going to help Alya when Anisha holds his hands and said strictly :" I  don't want to see any drama, this investment is very important for me . I don't want to lose this deal because of your so-called love, what will I tell them if they ask me why my husband is helping a mere servant ". 

"She is not servant ": Anisha  snapped at her,   she smiles faintly and said :" She is ......legally she is my servant. This  deal is worth 100 crores if I lose because of you and your ex wife , you both have to pay me and I know you can't pay me even you sell yourself ". Viren  remained silent as he has no  reply . He was silently watching  Alya  cleaning the floor , not able to see this anymore he  was going to leave when Anisha  holds his hand and said :" I can't teach you everything, it's a bad manner if you leave when guests are here ".  Viren  removed his hands from her grip , but he stands near her . 

They were on dining table , Alya and her mother were serving food while Viren , Anisha and guests were eating the dinner , one of the guest says :" Ms Anisha , food is amazing . Your cook is so good ". 

Anisha  smile and said :" Thank you , and it's Mrs Anisha Viren  Malhothra ". She turned toward Viren who was looking at her with a shock,  they were looking at each other . Their eye contact broke, hearing a glass shattering voice , they turned toward the source . 

Seeing Viren and Anisha  looking at each other like this , the bowl fall from Alya' s hand , she immediately apologized :" I am sorry ". 

Mr Mittal said looking at Anisha : " I am suggesting to change your servants or provide training to them. They don't have focus on their work ". Anisha glared at Alya and said :" Thank you for your suggestion, I will  keep this in my mind ". After dinner , they were going when Mr Sharma said :" Mrs Malhothra , we are ready to sign the deal but we want you to come to our resort . We want to sign the deal there , and inviting you to become our guest. This invitation is for both Mr and Mrs Malhothra ". 

Anisha smile and said :" Thank you for the invitation, we will definitely come ", she turned toward Viren and asked :" Isn't it Viren , we will visit their resort ". Viren looked at Alya who was looking at her with teary eyes, but he does not have any option,  he composed himself and said :" Yes, we will undoubtedly visit ". After sometime, the investors left . 

Anisha  turned toward Viren  and said :" Viren , the deal is very important . We have to leave early morning , here read the contract carefully ". She gave the file  to Vrein  and left . Viren turned toward Alya and her parents , he apologized to them :" I am sorry Uncle , Aunty , Alya . I can't say no , you know she will again blackmail us . And I can't go anywhere with you, as this work is important ".

He walked  closer to Alya and said :" Alya , she was doing everything intentionally . I don't know what was her motive behind this , but she was trying to hurt us . You have to be strong , don't give up ". Alya looked at him with teary eyes, he patted her cheeks and left .
