Tazz stood unmoved with his eyes shut, soon he turned the other side of his face to her, offering her his other cheek, Mahira stood still, eyes wide in shock at what she just did.
Mahira was shocked , she covered her mouth with both her hands as she digested what she just did
“I.. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to, I’m really ...,” she broke into sobs, unable to bear this helplessness
She had seen him after so long yet she ended up hurting him repeatedly, first his foot, then his heart and now she had slapped him
Tazz saw her reel in self guilt
“Sshhhh!, its nothing Maya, I deserve this slap, I totally deserve it,”
He hugged her as she sobb
When Tazz woke up, the side next to him was empty, he touched it and felt it was still warm, then he heard the sound of water from the bathroom, instantly relieved he heaved a sighMahira stepped out of the bathroom once she was done showering, she was sure Tazz would be fast asleep as he looked like he’d slept after many nights of staying up. She was stunned that he was up when she walked out, she had her bath robe on, it was already 9 am, thankfully the meeting of the day was placed at late afternoon so she was relaxed.She decided to have a chat with Tazz and make him realise that she has moved on in life for good... then she felt her eyes moistening up.. ‘Have I?’“Good morning beautiful,” Tazz had walked up to her and hugged her, kissing her on her forehe
“Enough,”came a loud thundering sound straight from the devil’s mouth himself He had remained quiet since then, at first he was surprised to see Maya present in this meeting , that too at the table with the name tag of TJ’s company. He had lost his temper as it dawned upon him that she had joined his company, no wonder she had managed to stay hidden for so long. Then he heard the losers behind him rant and talk nonsense about her, he struggled to not to get those loose tongues chopped off, but he suppressed his urge and temper both.. and waited, wondering how would Maya handle this situation, however he had seen her quiver and shake with all that was happening around, so much so that she preferred to escape rather than face and stand up to it. Unable to bear what she was going through,
Mahira lay unconscious for a long time, Ana and Mak looked at Tazz who had not left her hand for a minute, he had called for the doctor while Ana had informed Mak about all that happened, Jake stood quietly on a side, wondering how is this woman so important to his boss Tazz’s heart was in his mouth, he felt like someone had sliced him across his gut as he saw Maya in this state. He never could imagine right now looking at her pale face that what must she have endured six months back “Mr. Jindal, the patient has been under some kind of severe stress and may have endured some trauma, she needs to be handled with care, no news to be shared which may upset or stir her up, I have attached the IV, her BP had shot down dangerously, if this repeats then she may slip into a coma too,” “Will she be fine now?” Tazz asked in a serious tone
As if on cue, Jake immediately dialled a number as he himself headed out, he sensed the urgency in his boss’s abrupt behaviour so he dared not stay to collect stuff himself.He realised that Tazz had deep interest in this lady as he had never behaved like this with any other woman.Once at the mansion, Tazz lifted the unconscious Maya in his arms and walked in, heading straight to his bedroom, Mrs. Shah was surprised to see the girl in his arms, she remembered her from her last visit“Mrs. Shah, please prepare some warm khichdi,” he instructed her on his way up, Mrs. Shah understood it was for the ill girl, she hurried in to do the needfulPlacing Maya gently on the bed, Tazz went about doing a few bits to make her comfortable, then pulling a lounge armchair next to the be
She eventually stopped struggling as she had no more strength , when Tazz felt her relax in his arms, he left her lips, gently lifted her up in his arms and bought her to bed. She watched him quietly as he made her sit, then he walked to the casserole which had the Khichdi prepared by Mrs. ShahHe served it in a plate as Mahira watched his cautious movements, as if feeling her gaze on him, he looked at her suddenly, she quickly averted her gaze as he walked to her and sat down beside her, spooning it he lifted it to her mouth“Eat,”“You don’t have to do this, I can manage,” she tried to take the plate away from him“I know you can, but I still want to,” he stretched his hand away, she pursed her lips and sat calm
Mahira looked at Anuj who seemed angry and had a strange expression on his face, she walked up to him in slow steps, thinking whether she should go back to the room as she was too embarrassed to face anyone due to the humiliating scandal, after deliberating a bit, she walked to the table and sat on the chair next to him, as she was still zoned out, she didn’t know that why was he angry with her “ H.. Hi, how are you?” she stuttered Anuj looked away when Mahira greeted him, she felt it was weird but didn’t pay heed to it, ignoring him she looked around to find Tazz who was no where to be seen “Umm, Where is Tazz?” Mahira felt uncomfortable as she realised that she was being given a cold shoulder “Anuj, er.. did I do something to offend you? I
Tazz was lost in thoughts as he was going through some documents. His mind drifted away to the information provided by Jake“Sir, Miss Saha had been involved with a project at Blue Rose Island since last six months, she had been working for The J group and TJ had been personally staying with her and looking after her as well. It is also said that he had acquired this Island project purely to have Miss Saha on board even before the..,” he stoppedTazz understood what he wanted to say“Speak,”“The scandal that hit Miss Saha six months back... in fact it was TJ who had saved her last minute before any untoward incident could happen, it was he who even nursed her back to health while she was in coma those days, then they left for the island and have been staying t
Mahira’s look said it all, she was shocked, flabbergasted as she looked at him“I.. am not sure what you mean,” “I mean that you will officially join the Jindal group as the DSO for now, eventually I will make your presence felt in the company and add you into the directors, you will officially have a percentage of shares and will be a part of the Jindal group,”Mahira continued to gape at him like she could see two horns grow out of his head suddenly“Mr. Jindal I don’t understand, I was just a small unimportant employee in your company who has done nothing but brought shame and disgust to the company, why would you make me an offer like that and why should I accept it, just so that I become a subject of more ridicule, is it that you’re stil
