"Rachit's Point of View,"
I lost track of time today while debating the marketing plan for a new project at work.
The time was around 6:30 p.m. It drew my gaze to Riya's office as I prepared to leave the office.
I just peeked through the glass of her cabin door to see if her cabin light was still on.She was using her laptop to do some work. When I arrived at her door, she seemed completely oblivious to my presence. If she wished, I could drop her off there. I figured she wouldn't get auto rickshaw because it was getting dark outside.
However, after observing her altered behavior in the morning, I decided not to disturb her any further.
Just as soon as I stepped into the parking lot to get the car key, I realized I had forgotten to bring it with me.Oh, my goodness, I forgot the key to my cabin in moving in. Because of my careless actions, I reprimanded myself and apologized to myself.
I asked the pantry boy to carry the key outside the office when I called him on the phone.
As soon as the lift door on the office floor opened, Riya was there in front of my face.
I could see from her expression that she was curious about why I was still in the office so late in the day.Instead of waiting for her to ask, I just told her I fetched my car key since I'd forgotten it. Even if she didn't believe me, she had a convincing look on her face when the pantry boy gave over the car keys.
As I stood in the lift, waiting for her to enter, Riya made her way up the stairs instead.
You are furious with me, not with yourself. Why are you hurting yourself because you are angry with me?
I gave up and said, What's happening to you? Can't we take the lift together?She entered the lift quietly and stood in a corner after carefully listening to what I had to say.
She was standing in an awkward position in a corner as soon as the lift door shut.
What happened to you?
Why are you ignoring me?" I inquired in a frustrated tone.After hearing what I had to say, she did not respond.
This made me angry, so I lost my cool and shouted, "I'm asking you something.Because I didn't like how ignorant she was, I demanded, "Answer me!"She didn't give a second thought to the fact that I existed.
I jerked her shoulders in my direction and whispered, "Tell me what happened?" to make her aware of my proximity.My voice was clear because I was angry and hurt because I couldn't accept her disappointment.
There is a possibility that this time she noticed my distress and said, "Nothing happened."
Hearing her response only fueled my rage.
I repeated her remarks, "Oh, nothing happened."There was a tenth floor to go up. She took a long, hard look at my face before trying to ignore me once more.
Until now, no one has treated me this way.
To my annoyance, why does this girl do this to me over and over?"What do you think of yourself?" I questioned her, pressing her shoulders with both of my hands against the wall of the lift.
Have I been worrying about you for a long time now?"Why haven't you replied to my question?"She didn't respond to my furious words, and instead of looking at me, she focused her gaze on the floor of the lift.
Is this girl fearless of my anger?
I pushed her chin up and drew her gaze in my direction."Pay attention to what I say and respond accordingly."In a whisper, she asked her to leave.
If you don't answer my question, you won't go anywhere.
But she only stared at me with tears welling up in her eyes. She shed some tears, which helped to ease my rage a little.
I put her hand in mine and calmly inquired, "What's wrong?"
She wept and said, "It is terrible. It is wrong for us to approach so close."
By embracing her, I attempted to soothe her anxiety. Oh, so you think that the only way to solve this problem is to ignore me?
When the lift door opened, I distanced her from me before she said anything else.
The fragrance of her fresh roses has already left an impression on me. Because I couldn't manage my emotions, I couldn't calm myself down.I snatched her wrist just as she was about to step out of the lift and yanked her back inside with all my power. Immediately after the lift close, I pressed the button on the top floor.She is surprised because of my abruptness.
Someone will notify us if you don't let go of my hand.
Because I was so close to her, I had completely lost control of my emotional responses. I ignored her remarks and cradled her close to my chest.
She was still begging me to leave her.
Didn't she like it when I was around? Didn't she?
I grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the wall of the lift so that she couldn't get away from me.Respond to my question, "Is it tough for you to be so close to me?" You can't ignore me like this.
She seemed afraid at that moment, and I knew it by the look on her face."Would you have wanted to kiss me that day?" I yelled out in a high-pitched tone.
It's wrong, she said, her eyes welling up with tears.Inquiringly, "Why aren't you staring at me?" I started it while bringing her face up to mine.
She begged me to leave her repeatedly.I said in a loud voice, "You will go nowhere until I get the answer to my questions."
When I asked, she snapped and said, "She feels nothing."I pressed her to speak the complete line aloud."I.. I... I felt nothing," she said with a trembling voice.
Her actions irritated me.You can only leave here if you respond to my words.She was pleading with me to let her go, as we were in the lift.
But my gaze remained fixated on her lips, which were tingling.Whatever it is about her lips has me drawn to them, and I can't help but kiss her even after she's in front of me.
It didn't matter what was going on around me; I still gripped her lips with my own.
Weirdly, I do not know why she dismisses my existence.
Without her permission, I once again kissed her.Cradling her rose lip to mine was an intense experience.I held her waist and shoulders with one hand and her wrists with the other.
I was going to close my eyes and kiss her.It didn't take long until she turned around and started kissing me again after standing there like a fetish, with no reaction.
Her hands were getting tighter in my hair, which made me want to kiss her even more passionately.When the elevator shook, it cut our passionate kiss short.
As the lift door opened, we separated ourselves from one another and remained calm and composed.
"Oh shit, blood," she blurted, her voice shaking.
I could still see the lingering effects of my kiss on her lips.
"What happened?" I inquired with a sly grin.Her face flushed, and she replied, "Nothing."
If you'd like, I can take you back to your house.The lift arrived on the ground floor, and I immediately questioned her.As she exited the lift, she answered, "No, I'll be fine," and smiled.
I caught her eye as she stepped out of the elevator.
This girl is going to make me crazy. Something about her has me swaying, and I'm not sure what it is.
I started my car and left the office building when I reached the parking floor.
"Riya's Point of View,"I'd just walked out of the office building. My office was about 30 minutes away from my home.As I lifted my hand to halt the auto-rickshaw, the horn of a car approaching from behind drew my attention; "Oh, Is this Harsh?""What exactly is he doing here?" I moved over to Harsh's car, drew back my raised hand to stop the auto-rickshaw, and stared at it, bewildered.I often tell Harsh that he should come outside my office and pick me up, but he never has enough time to stand outside and wait for me.Although seeing Harsh's smiling face makes my day's exhaustion go away, I am surprised to find him in front of me like this.I should be glad to see him, but I'm not sure why I don't like it when he comes today."What are you doing here?"As I stood outside the car, I inquired.He peered out the window of his car. As he opened the car door, he looked at me affectionately and said, "I pick you up.""If you had called and told me, I would
"Riya's point of view,"It was after 10:00 p.m. by the time we got home, and traffic in Gurgaon is so horrendous that it takes an hour to get there that neither of us remembered to discuss the important news.Harsh pushed through the main entrance and turned on the lights in the hall.I also took off my shoes before entering the house.As soon as the bedroom door opened, I ran to the bed, leaving my laptop bag and handbag on the side table, and lying down, telling him how fatigued I was today."Me too," Harsh said as he was going to change his clothes in the washroom, to which I answered, "Well, come back soon, I have a lot to talk about with you."Waiting for Harsh to return, I took turns on the bed from here to there. I got up and started headed to the washroom to change clothes as soon as he returned."Why are you running away from me so much today?" he questioned, grabbing my hand in his.It blew away the color of my face once more after h
"Riya's point of view,"The beep of my phone's alarm clock disturbed my sleep.I snoozed the alarm and went back to sleep.Harsh yanked himself out of his slumber and spoke to me."Riya, it's 7:10 a.m., wake up.""What?"In disbelief, I sprung to my feet and dashed to the restroom.Harsh knocked on the restroom door and called my name."What do you want?" I asked sternly."Could you please share the bathroom with me?""I'm also running late," he said, his puppy eyes flashing at me.I responded quickly."Why not?"We brushed our teeth together, and I resisted my urges by walking to the kitchen and leaving him alone in the bathroom.To make it drinkable, I heated the water. I fetched the bread from the fridge for sandwiches and sliced the vegetables to make vegetable sandwiches while I waited for the tea to be made and drank my glass of water... I clean up the leftover teapots that have been lying around all night.
"Riya's point of view,"As soon as the lift door opened, I rushed to the biometrics.However, when I arrived at work, I am thrilled at my minor victory; It had prevented me from being late even today.I said "good morning" to Ashish as soon as I walked into the office."Good morning," he said with a smile. Are you excited about your Shimla vacation? ""How's it going?""All good," I said as he asked the question."Will you join us on Sunday for some shopping?" I inquired, my voice hushed as I looked around. "Harsh was also considering meeting you."Ashish was the one who responded. "I'll join you guys, okay?""Have you signed this document?" Ashish said as he took the file and handed it to me.This strange question perplexed me.As Ashish waved towards Rachit as he entered the corridor, I pouted, saying nothing.I retaliated by snatching the file from Ashish's clutches."No, I'll double-check the file before signing it
"Riya's point of view,"I was about to leave when I noticed the pantry boy delivering a tray of coffee from the front.As he on the entrance of Rachit's cabin, the pantry boy said, "Madam, your black coffee.""The meeting has ended. I'm on my way to my cabin. You've arrived late."Bring it back, I complained."All right," the pantry boy murmured, a mournful expression on his face as he looked at the coffee mug.Rachit inquired, gazing at me. "Do you want to sit with me and have a cup of coffee?""It's OK, Sir," I said obstinately, "I have some essential work to do.""It would be helpful for me and my team to see the file with your testing results so we can figure out when the product will be out."Rachit spoke out, his tone was authoritative."Of course," I said as I sat back in my chair as if I didn't have a choice.Rachit smiled at the pantry boy and said, "You're free to go."Pantry Boy then went away after thanking him.
"Rachit's point of view,"As soon as I walked inside the office, my gaze was drawn to Ashish and Riya, who stood in front of me.When Ashish noticed me, he motioned to Riya, who took the file from Ashish's grip and said, "I'll check and sign it."When I saw both of them, I smiled and said "good morning."Together, they wished me a good day.Riya was not talking to anyone else in the office anymore, but whatever she was talking about with Ashish, they stopped chatting as soon as I arrived.I didn't appreciate her talking to Ashish like this at all, but I know my boundaries, so I stared at her carefully, saying nothing.A tiny smile appeared on my lips when I saw her.While walking with her to her cabin with the file, I inquired if she was available at 11:00 a.m., as I wanted to discuss something about the new project.While entering her cabin, she gave me her approval.I invited her to meet me in the conference hall at 11:00 a.m. on my way to my cabin.Be
"Riya's point of view,"After leaving Rachit's cabin and returning to my own, I breathed a sigh of relief.I sat in my chair and drank the entire bottle of water in one sitting.I couldn't believe it had all happened a while ago; was it real or a dream?"What is Rachit attempting to do to me?"I am not a puppet in his hands, allowing him to do whatever he wants to me; I must inform the P.O.S.H. committee.(To prevent cases of sexual harassment, a workplace council was made up.)Wait!!What will I say in front of the P.O.S.H. committee?Rachit kissed me twice, despite my protests.Did I truly want to?Of course.Rachit touches me, and my body reacts to his movement.My body shivers with the force of his heated breath.Okay, the last two times I had my choice, but today he forced me.How can he try to compel me to do something I don't want to do?My subconscious chided, "Come on, Riya, even when you closed
"Rachit's point of view,"I tried very hard to concentrate on my job after Riya had left my cabin.My focus kept returning to her.I'd never seen a girl like her before. I'm constantly being pushed to my limits by her.There's something about her that makes me want to approach her.When she speaks to me while staring me in the eyes, lightning flashes through my body.As I get closer to her, my desire to get her grows stronger.I'm not sure if I'm attracted to her or if I have stronger feelings for her, but it doesn't matter to her because she's already in a relationship.Just thinking about Riya with someone else made my heartbreak.I need to put some distance between myself and her. I will not cause her any problems.But I can't seem to stay away from her any longer.I needed to speak with her, so I took out my phone and dialed her number.I expected her to remove my number from the blacklist after I became so enraged, but that stubborn girl has
"Riya's point of view,""Riya, why are you wasting so much time getting ready today? Poor Harsh, have been waiting for you for so long." Sheetal walked up to me and said,"Because my wedding is today, I had to get ready for it, including applying my makeup." I responded as I adjusted my earrings. "Riya, I think you look stunning today. May God keep the evil eye away from you." Sheetal slipped a small dot of kajal behind my ear and murmured, picking up the kajal from the dressing table. "Now that Harsh has already committed theft, no one even dares to steal Riya from him. Am I correct, Riya?" As he walked inside the room, Rahul said. "I promised Harsh that he would be the first to see me dressed as the bride, so why are you still standing here? Get out of here." I responded while covering my face with my hands. "Riya, you did not accept my proposal; at the very least, you should have given me this right." I listened to him and could not stop giggling. "You no longer playfully fli
"Harsh's point of view,""Harsh, what exactly are you doing here?" Seeing me here, Riya is the most surprised person in the room. "I'm here to dispel some myths around Rachit." I responded while seated in the conference room's empty chair. "What do you mean?" When I noticed Rachit's confused countenance, I felt a great sense of relief. But aside from Rachit, everyone on the board was staring at me in shock. And from the way Riya was gazing at me with her curious eyes, she was not even blinking. "I'm going to call security right away to get you out of here because you may not meddle in our company's affairs in this manner." He gave me an evil-eyed stare. Because of listening to him, I was not in the smallest bit furious at all—because if he knows the truth; it doomed all of his hopes and aspirations to fail. After hearing what he said, I remained silently observing the situation in front of me without responding. "Harsh, please explain to me why you are here." Riya was becoming mo
"Riya's point of view,""How dare Rachit talk crap about you? Where are you driving me? I'll just show him what I mean." I was finding it very challenging to take Harsh to the hospital. I would not have brought Harsh to this party if I had known that he would respond to Rachit's remarks in this manner. "Enough is enough; you are now silently accompanying me to the hospital, and I will not put up with any more of your nonsense." I glared sternly at Harsh. He had just left the hospital a few days prior, and in this circumstance, seeing the injuries on his hand, I was concerned about him. He was gushing blood from his hand. As a result, his body was already running low on blood, and he didn't need to waste any more of it by spitting it out in fury. After all, whatever is taking place, I did everything to save his life, so how will it work if he continues to endanger his life in this manner? "Riya, why are you crying now?"Although Harsh and Rachit's argument causes my ire, Harsh's
"Riya's point of view,""Riya, are you certain you're attending Rachit's party?" When Harsh saw me getting ready for the party, it startled him to see me at all. I said, applying eyeliner to my eyelids. "Yes, of course." "How are you going to handle that man in such a civilized manner? Have you forgotten what he did to you?"I know he has cause for anger, but I must still work to make sure that he does not mistrust me by following his instructions to carry out my plan."Harsh, I remember everything and have forgotten nothing, but it is improper to be personal while conducting business. I also had to go to his party because I am his business partner." I said, finishing up my makeup. "Well, if that's the case, I'll accompany you, so you won't have to go alone to that party. Beyond this, you won't challenge my choice because it is definitive." He announced the outcome while collecting his tuxedo from his wardrobe. "Do you not feel that you are dominating too much?" I asked, raising m
"Rachit's point of view,""Welcome, Riya. All I did was wait for you." As soon as she walks into the meeting room, she immediately creates positive energy in the room. The scent of fresh roses might ease any person's exhaustion emanating from their bodies. "What type of urgency has arisen for you, Rachit, that you wanted me to be here so quickly?" She fixed her piercing eyes on me. I wanted to tease her further when I saw how angry she was and had a crimson face. My choice was perfect, but I was unfortunate in that I could not understand her love. I'm still incredibly remorseful about the time I broke Riya's heart. Maybe today Riya and I would be together, and my child would also be here if I hadn't married Shilpi to protect the family business. But all I can do is regret it. Riya has lived her life with Harsh rather than me. I did all in my power to get her back in my life, but I can no longer see the love that I once saw in her eyes. The only girl in my life who turned down Rac
"Riya's point of view,""Riya, I miss you." He said, holding me in his arms as soon as I got in front of him. "I could not bear to be apart from you." My arms went around him with the same force as his. "Have you taken your medication yet?" I asked while keeping my head in his chest. "Yes." He responded in a quiet voice. After hearing his low voice, I knew he had lied to me. "I am aware of how negligent you are of your health."I remarked while slapping his shoulder. "Sorry, I forgot to take the medicine." When I saw how freely he was smiling, I realized that he still had many of the same habits. "If you made a mistake and are still laughing about it from on high, it's time for you to take some medicine." I said in a commanding voice. "Riya, you must learn to treat me with respect since I am your future husband and not an employee of your company." He answered by pouting like a child. I pulled his cheeks and whispered, "I wish you were one of my employees." "I'd rather not wor
"Riya's point of view,""Please pardon me. Riya, I erred when I stole your dream project from you." In front of me, Rachit is pleading with his hands folded. "Take this: I'm returning all of your company's shares to you." I was going to reclaim the file from his hands that held the shares of my company when I suddenly heard a strange voice in my head. What's the volume of the noise surrounding me? And the noise is only getting louder. What makes this sound so familiar to me, though? Oh shit, I just realized that this is the sound of my mobile phone's irritating alarm clock. I must have dreamt then.And do you believe Rachit will return to your dream project? In a straightforward manner, was it genuinely able to do so? It is only imaginable in dreams. I was being ridiculed by my subconscious for believing my dream to be true. Even though I know well that Rachit will not, under any circumstances, return the shares of my company to me, I still don't understand why there is still some
"Riya's point of view,""Harsh, what are you referring to?" After hearing him, I had an odd impression that he had some sort of plan going through his mind. But what? I must be aware. "Riya, please refrain from posing questions to me. I will tackle whatever needs to be done right away in my style." He had a certain level of determination in his voice. What's going on in his head, though? He has recently become more serious than ever. I've always seen him in a jovial mood, so I was afraid to see him with so many serious looks. "Kindly explain what you're talking about. If you're are not telling the truth about me, I believe they shall soon see me laying by your side on an empty hospital bed." "Oh, Riya, you are being such a jerk." He refuses to tell me what is going through his thoughts even after I have repeatedly asked him to do so, and even then he accuses me of being impatient. "Okay, Harsh, if you believe that, then I will tell you I will not ask questions now; you take care
"Riya's point of view,""Riya Why are you staying quiet? Please respond to my question." I'm not sure what I should say to Harsh, who is sitting in front of me. How can I inform him about the condition Rachit has imposed on me in exchange for his blood? I might even tell Harsh about the first condition, but how can I tell him about the second condition he's put in front of me? However, this moron detective informed Harsh that I had gone to a hotel room to meet Rachit while inebriated? Even when I walked out of that hotel room, I was in dire straits. Will Harsh believe me if I tell him the truth? Will he believe me if I tell him that nothing like this happened between us in the hotel's locked room that night? At any cost, I don't want to lose him again. However, I'm concerned that if I tell Harsh about the deal I signed with Rachit, he'll abandon me. "Riya, you're making me angry now. I've been pleading with you to tell me the truth and not keep anything from me, but you refuse to
