Anuj was drowsy so he just smiled and shut his eyes.
It was after a drive of almost about an hour that they reached the bay, no one spoke on the way, Anuj was sleeping while Tazz was busy reading some documents. Mahira had a peaceful drive all the way, watching at the lush greenery that passed by her sight, thousand thoughts rushed through her mind, as thousand things flew past her eyes in a fraction of seconds, finally coming to Sonia, how would she react towards her in future, she wondered what was Sonia up to, displaying such open hostility towards her, somehow, just the thought of Sonia gave Mahira a headache. She didn’t know why her sixth sense warned her against Sonia, there was more to her than just her love for Tazz.
Tazz kept stealing glances at Maya every now and then, she looked so beautiful to his eyes, the navy blue shift dress she wore ma
The Captain came over and greeted Tazz then Sonia, Mahira assumed that Tazz and Sonia may have travelled in this luxurious beauty more than once hence they knew her as his partner, she wasn’t sure if what she felt was a pang of pain in her heart or something else. The winds were strong, Mahira’s hair flickered in air.They headed straight to the conference room which was about 12 seater and was well equipped with latest gadgets. there were 3 more people already waiting in the room, once all settled down, Anuj introduced them as the architect and the contractors. The architect was a very renowned person and a master of his field with various unique international projects heralded by him, Mr. James Coleman. When he shook hands with Mahira she felt a sense of disgust as she felt his middle finger stroke the centre of her
Mahira dozed off and had a sound sleep instead, she was woken up abruptly by the buzzing of her phone, she panicked thinking it was a call from Anuj and that she was late, the call got disconnected , since it was from an unknown number she did not bother answering. It was only 6:30 in the evening so she decided to step out and enjoy the sea breeze, sea view and the golden hour if she could. She quickly got up to wash and changed, she wore a simple long dress in black that hugged her body , she was relaxed that the hem of it would not ruffle or fly in breeze when on deck, deciding to leave her hair loose she wrapped the hair tie on her wrist, just in case she needed it later.She stepped out earlier than others, deciding to explore this beauty a bit. She chose to quit the elevator and headed to the grand staircase that looked straight out of some fairy tale palace, it was
Mahira didn’t want to talk now, she just wanted to get inside and sit some place stable.They headed to the deck where the dinner was laid out, it was at the party hall that she'd passed by earlier during her walk. There wa a Dj console at a corner and a dance floor, neon ligts along with regular brightness changed the ambience to a party's. The aroma of the food relaxed Mahira a bit. Tazz refused to let go of her hand despite reaching the diner’s, she tried to pull away but he strengthened his grip“Tazz, where have you been, I’m not feeling too well, could you please be with me,” Sonia pretended to be ill as she walked up to him and held his hand.Tazz wanted to ignore her but decided otherwise, in an instant he left Mahira’s wrist and held So
Mahira grew nervous as Tazz walked towards her, Anuj, who was observing all this had a big smile on his face, ‘time for the hunt,’ he knew that Tazz was about to display his killer dance abilities to Mahira, but he was worried for her, ‘would she be able to handle his dance tempo?’Tazz was known as 'Tazz the tornado' when it came to dance, Anuj was worried for her as he knew Tazz wanted to vent his anger on seeing her dancing with Coleman through dance, ‘God help ya Mahira,’ he felt like he should turn into a priest as he had lot to pray about, he thought, as he seriously considered itAs soon as Tazz reached to where Mahira stood, their eyes met and something happened, like they travelled through a tunnel and reached back into their past, Mahira felt numb in mind as she could not think, she placed her hand in his when he asked for it.
“Stop!,” Mahira suddenly shouted aloud, everything became silent as all gazes fixed on her.Without thinking or realising anything she quickly snatched the spoon from Tazz’s hand and put it back down on his plate with a slam she didn’t intend.“Miss Mahira, what kind of a behaviour is this, don’t you know how to behave with your bosses, just because you have been given the privilege of joining us for dinner, must you display your true worthless self and exhibit your unruly table manners, no wonder you gave such poorly suggestions keeping in mind the masses, you too are just one of them,” Sonia hurled insults at Mahira like she was waiting for this moment.Mahira was surprised with her own behaviour too but she had no choice but to do what she did.Tazz and An
There were storms of different capacities brewing in everyone’s mind.Tazz felt warm in heart as it was confirmed all the more officially that she was his Maya, the dance, the steps and then the mushrooms. He immediately wanted to rush to her room and hold her tight and make her his again, completely. He realised that she did care, still care for him, she remembered everything, his mushroom allergy, the entire choreography was still fresh in her mind, he was ecstatic.Sonia was happy with the feeling that Tazz thoughtfully de boned and deshelled the fish and crab for her, she felt things were becoming easy for her and Mahira will be taken care of soon.Mahira was concerned, if she hadn’t done what she did, Tazz would have to bear severe consequences, her act was a natural reflexive reaction, she couldn’t hol
“Maya,” he said then paused again, Mahira flinched at the name he mentioned, she felt that he called out Maya deliberately to check her reaction, she had to be strong and pretend like she found him weird.“Who ?” she shrugged and frowned , directing a surprised look at himHe smiled again, like knowing well she wouldn’t admit, but he didn’t imply that, he began slow walking towards her“Maya, her name was Maya, she was Bro’s lifeline, still is, I never got to meet her, but I heard it from bro that she was different, very caring, she was as beautiful as a white peacock, with long wavy hair, she was wiling to do anything for bro, she was the one who sent bro back home when he had separated from us. She loved him a lot, but then something happened,” he paused and kept looking
"Finally, thank you for coming back to your senses," she felt relieved, "What have you in mind?" she asked, then realised he would not come up with a friendly solution as he smiled cheekily.."I shall pay you with my body for sure, since I already mentioned that I don't keep favours, but not today, I will defer my plan to pay you for a while, but someday I’ll pay you back , okay,”"Okay," she nodded frantically like she just found an ice cream of her favourite flavour , relieved that atleast today she was saved from his zealous self offering fest"But,", and she stopped and froze, not expecting 'conditions apply' to happen"but what?" she asked frightfully"You have to do me another favour, a
