Tazz had a smug smile on his lips as he saw her sign the documents, once done, he grabbed her hand and pulled her off chair towards the conference room. Mahira stopped before he could pull open the door of his cabin and released her hand from his grip
“Mr. Jindal, we are in a professional place and should behave like ones, so please,”
Tazz understood her point and walked ahead of her as she followed
As soon as they entered the conference room, there were glances spared towards Mahira that were silent yet had a mountainous load of questions in it, Mahira felt nervous as they headed towards the head of the table where Tazz usually sat, sensing her tension, Tazz held her hand beneath the table to make her feel better
“This is Miss Mahira Saha, many of you know her already, sh
“Relax Sonia, I was just kidding,”“Oh! really, Tazz you scared me so much,” she finally breathed with relief, her face relaxed and she beamed as she pulled a chair out to sit opposite him, Tazz kept staring at her face“Tazz, I am your friend, I would never tell upon you to anyone, no matter how much I lo.. like uncle Tej,” she had a wide smile“I know,” he simply replied, catching the word that she changed abruptly“Hey Tazz, how about we go out for coffee... let’s go catch a movie today, its been so long we haven’t been out like friends,” “You look very happy suddenly,” Tazz had a straight face with a small smile, as he kept gauging her expressions”
“Hero uncle, I am very angry with you, you have forgotten little Tama, do you not like me anymore?”Tazz smiled wide imagining a big pout on her little face, her voice worked like magic on him“How can I forget my princess, its just that uncle was a little busy, uncle is so sorry to make Tama sad,”“Its okay uncle, looks like my time is not right, even my Mama has forgotten me, how can I complain about you,”“Ha ha ha, really, how did Tama’s loving super mom forget Tama, you said she loves you the most,”“Yeah! she does, but she is busy, uncle I’m asking you for one last time, you please think hard and reply, will you be my dadda,”&ldqu
Mahira entered the coffee shop where she Ana and Mak had planned to meet up, She entered the booth booked by Mak, both of them had already reached, Mahira was pleasantly surprised to see Mohaga who had accompanied Mak“Mahira, you look much better today,” Ana stood up and hugged her, Mak and Mohaga followed the same, Mahira took a seat next to Ana“Mahira, before I forget, you need to call TJ and speak to him,”“Hmm,” Mahira took Ana’s phone and dialled his number“Hello Ana,” TJ”s deep velvety voice sounded refined“Hi, It’s me,” “Mahira,” She could feel a sense of longing in his voice and she sighed
When Mahira showered and stepped out, Tazz wasn’t present in the room, she walked up to the bed and decided to go to sleep early, she had a lot of thinking to do and needed to shut her eyes for the same, just as she sat on the bed she heard her tummy grumble“Ah!, I’m so hungry,” as if in reply and confirmation to her statement, there was another growl heard“Shoot!, I’ll have to go down, which is okay, but not if I have to face grumpy Anuj, God knows what has gotten into him, looks like I need to have a clear chat with him to know why the hell has his good behaviour turned so demonic,’ She walked out of the room, making her way to the dining area, just as she’d thought, Anuj was already seated on his chair, Mrs. Shah was laying the tableA d
“Help me, NO.., please stop, don’t do it, please, Mayaaaa, help me, save me, aarghhhh!!,”‘ha ha ha ha ha ,” the devil took the blood from Mahira’s dying body and splashed it all over Mahira’s face“NOOO,”Mahira jolted back from her nightmare, instantly rubbing her face dry, she looked into her palm and realised it was only water drops, she was panting, breathing heavy as tears brimmed in her eyes“Are you okay?”Mahira jerked her head up, oblivious till now that she had someone in the room, she looked up and saw Tazz, then looked around and heaved a sigh of relief that she was in his office and there was no one around. Her eyes flickered around unsteadily till she was sure he wasn't
There was a dark look and a deep frown on Tazz’s face as her words kept playing on in his mind on a repeat mode, ‘Did she speak about someone being killed?’ his mind was in an overdrive, trying hard to fathom the depths of despair she must have endured, suddenly he felt hit with the fact that after all, her disappearing act from the wedding must have been more than just her own will.That night they stayed back in his office, she slept while he held her in his arms and rested his back on the head board of the bed, she stirred a few times in her sleep, mumbling incoherent words that he could not wrap his head around.“Mr. Jindal, Mr. Jin..,” Mahira looked at the man who held her tight in his arms when she woke up, surprised that they stayed back in the office“Hmm,” he opened his eyes, still
“What are we doing here?” she got out of the car as she saw Tazz carrying a bunch of dry leaves and twigs“We’re here for an important task,” he said, placing the bunch of dry leaves on the ground a little away from the car, then lighted it up with his lighter, walking back to the car he took out a basket from the boot and walked back to the fire that was faintly lit now“Mr. Jindal, what are you doing? why are we here and what’s happening?”“First of all stop calling me Mr. Jindal, today you will call me only Tazz,” He commanded as he pulled out a small pan, then from a bottle of water he poured some water in it, removing a couple of packs of noodles he got at work of cookingMahira stood
Mahira leaned her head back on his chest, sighing, ‘was this it?, was this the moment of truth where she’d have to let Tazz know everything?, would he be able to bear the brunt of this bitter truth?,’ whatever it was, she knew now there was no escape, she had let her tongue slip and now she had to face him.Taking a deep breath she turned around and looked up into his eyes, there was hope and relief, joy and anticipation floating in them“Tazz, I am..,”“Bro,” suddenly a crisp voice interfered Both turned to look at a panting Anuj followed by Ana and Mak“Bro, this is so unfair, you left us all behind and came to this place alone, what did we do to be given this kind of a treatment?” he sulked
Maya tried hard to punch and kick him, but he was too strong for her, she felt repulsed as he tried to push open her lips with the force of his tongue, when she stood her ground firm he left her lips and glared at herLooking at the dangerous look in his red eyes, she regretted not having let Tazz come with her now, he was right, She shouldn’t have trusted TJ“Why.. can’t I kiss my bride to be?,” his breath reeked of whisky and she turned her face away in disgust“It should be done particularly now that my woman is lost in the thoughts of another man,” he sneered close to her face“We are not getting married, even if I would have wanted to , after what you did just now, I will never marry you,” She turned her face to look at him straight in his eyes, his jaw twitched and it was clear that he held back from unleashing the beast within“You have lost my trust and my respect for good TJ,” she looked into his eyes while he didn’t move, still glaring at her,“Just.. just stop for God’s sak
Now this really was news to him"Mahira was married to Petnovak!!," Tazz was totally taken aback, how fate plays a major role in people's lives, he just realised it, of all the places and projects he had to choose from, he zeroed in on this Island project, when he suddenly decided to get Maya on this project, his intention was purely to keep her close to him, but fate was playing at getting her closer to her family“Yes, and since these tribals have a unique magical way to bind souls and mates, when Mahira was killed, Petnovak and Little Tiger froze in a soul entanglement vortex, that night, Mahira communicated through me with her husband and child, somehow cutting off the bond so that they could continue to live,”Tazz was taken aback“Do such things really happen?”
Back in Singapore:“Anuj, I don’t understand, it’s been a few days and Tazz isn’t back, who do you think will be responsible for the losses incurred in business, how can he be so irresponsible,”Jairaj, Tazz and Anuj’s father had received a call by Tejraj informing that Tazz has not been concentrating on the business and some board of directors have been complaining about a new island project the company has over taken at a magnanimous amount“Dad, trust me, Bro has everything in control, there’s nothing wrong at the office here, I don’t understand who keeps giving you such misinformations,” Anuj turned to glare at Tejraj who sat leisurely on Tazz’s chair and read a newspaper“I don’t know anything, find that wast
It seemed like several seasons had passed by as the two lovers cozied up in each other’s arms, Tazz leaned his back on his car and she had the back of her head on his chest. The sun had set and the breeze had cooled down long back.Tazz held her firmly against his chest, finally he got to know what he wanted to, finally she admitted that she was his Maya, finally the game of cop and thief was over and all the misunderstandings had resolved, all but one..Who was that man who lay such a dangerous game of chess for them all, who went to the extent of raping and killing Mahira just to threaten Maya from going ahead with this wedding and whose motive was so big to have planned and schemed so wellHe truly wanted to dig more but stopped as soon as he sensed her discomfort, he cursed himself for being impatient when he felt her go
“Mahira is no more,”she looked straight ahead into nowhere in particular, her face was hard, eyes cold and stony, a whiff of strong breeze hit Tazz as the impact of her words set upon himHe felt engulfed in her pain for a moment as a look of deep sadness spread to her eyes“What happened?,”Mahira abruptly turned to look at Tazz, her face scrunched up in fury, her eyes shot daggers at Tazz and he stood aghast wondering why was she looking at him like he was the cause of her deathThen suddenly her face eased up, her eyes flickered and she looked away as tears brimmed up. She remembered Anuj’s words, all that happened to Tazz, he too was a victim just like her so why was she shooting daggers at him when the culprit is
‘Dear Nature, what is it that you play at, separated by misfortune but united by fortune,’Tazz looked at Mahira’s face coloured with shock and smiled, placing his left hand over the steering lazily, he looked straight ahead“She is adorable, cute, intelligent and a very wise kid, completely like me, a perfect miniature of me” he sounded proudHe continued to look afar with eyes that had pride in them, as if he could see her tottering around or walking towards him, then he looked down and smiled, shaking his head in disbelief“We have a strong bond between us right from the first time we met, she an...,”“When was the first time you met her?,” Mahira interrupted him, still unable to deal with thi
The vip room was dimly lit, loud music blared in the background and the neon red blue lights shone from the rotating disco ball across the room. A soft hand unbuttoned the shirt on the man’s body, he had drunk quite a bit and smiled as she slid her delicate fair and soft hand inside the shirt, caressing his chest, then moving to play with his nips, pinching them gently“Oh you naughty girl,” he laughed as he grabbed her hand and placed it on the belt of his pants, then he grabbed her hand again and rubbed it against his cr*tch“Ah! you are ready for me,” she mewled in her soft kitten like voice and quickly unbelted him, the man hungrily tugged at her blouse, pulling it off her head and grabbing her breast with one hand.She half lay on the couch, bent on her knees she took his erection into her moist w
Mahira froze momentarily and applied breaks abruptly as one of the RollsRoyce came to a sudden halt right in front of her car, her heart almost stopped beating for a moment in fear.The sharp blazing sun light hit her through the front glass, blinding her momentarily, however no sooner had she regained herself, she was overtaken with a rising sense of panic.She vaguely saw someone alight from the RollsRoyce that had blocked her path and walk towards her, she blinked several times but her eyes could only see spots of black dots because of the sun. The man took slow deliberate steps towards her, soon reaching her car he knocked on the window“Hey, It wasn’t my fault, it was you who stopped your car without any warning,” Mahira yelled without sliding the window down, blinking repeatedly to ease her sight back, but t
Mahira disconnected the phone when there was no response from the other end. Tama was still crying aloud“baby what’s wrong, why are you crying?,” Mahira panicked “Aaaa...waaaaaa...,” she kept going at it“Mommy I don’t want you to marry uncle,” she spoke in between sobs“Please mommy, please..waaaaaaa,” Mahira’s heart felt squeezed as she saw tears stain Tama's cheeks, wiping the tears from her face Mahira quickly held her close to her heart, she could not let this marriage happen without Tama’s consent, it was important that Tama accepts TJ, she took in a deep breath“Okay Tama.. baby.. listen to me, listen to Mama,”Tama&
