Chapter 23: chapter 23

A few days just went like this, Vaishali was feeling good staying with the Patel's. She enjoyed spending time with dadu and Ayesha but also she was secretly searching for an apartment without anyone's knowledge.Even the Patel's liked spending time with her. The boring and silent ambiance of the house grew up with lots of laughter and happiness.  Everything seemed fine but nothing was going fine with Vishal. He kind of grew restless thinking about Vaishali. He walked all around his room drinking alcohol. He looked at his phone's gallery where he, Vaishali and Ayesha's lots of selfies were there which they clicked during lunch time.Vishal: Vaishali... how can you be so beautiful and attractive. I just can't stop thinking about you for a single moment. You seem to cast a spell on me. I don't know if I'll be able to control my feelings anymore or not. I'll confess to you everything...He smiled looking at her pic and gulped the whole drink in one go. Next morning, when dadi, Shaurya and Ash came to have their breakfast, they saw Vaishali arranging the table. They became suprised watching her specially Shaurya because he did not expected anything like that. Meanwhile dadu asked Dadu: Vaishali, what are you doing here beta?Vaishali(looking at them): Ohh..good morning dadu...actually I'm just arranging the breakfast...that's it Shaurya: But you don't have to do this...we have servant for that. Vaishali: so what...sometimes we should also do the work by ourself why we should depend on others and moreover when they are human being like us. Even they did some rest.Shaurya: We pay them for that...we don't make them work in free. Vaishali ignored his words and asked dadu to take a seat. Dadu and Ash were enjoying the argument going between them. They were smiling watching them fight.Vaishali: What happened dadu...why are you smiling?Dadu: Nothing..just like that.Vaishali: Accha...please sit now.Dadu: yaa..Shaurya fumed in anger when he saw Vaishali ignoring him. He gritted his teeth and said to himself Shaurya: How could she ignore me just like that??Vaishali: What happened Sir? Why are you standing like this...come and sit.Without saying anything..he came and took a seat. While she served each of them their breakfast. Everyone started silently eating it when Vaishali said Vaishali: I even wanted to prepare the breakfast from my own hands today but your cook did not allowed me...Shaurya: thank god he didn't...Vaishali(furrowing her brows): Excuse me..what do you mean by that? Shaurya: nothing...and please stop talking while having food.Vaishali rolled her eyes on that and started eating like a making a grumpy face like a small kid. Dadu and Ash were just enjoying the scene. Suddenly Ash said Ash: Vaishu, I'll not come in the office today..I have some work so will you be able to go by yourself.Dadu: why will she go alone... Shaurya will take her along with him...right Shaurya?Shaurya: Dadu first of all I don't have time...secondly she isn't a kid that she can't come alone..Vaishali: Yaa dadu...I can go alone...i don't need anyone's favour. Shaurya looked at her with the corner of his eyes..he got up from the chair and said sternly looking towards his watch Shaurya: You have 10 mins...finish your breakfast and come outside..He walked away from there but not before taking blessings from dadu. Meanwhile Vaishali made an irritating face watching him going Vaishali: Dadu...can i ask you something?Dadu: yes sure...Vaishali: Like when sir was about to be born...did by any chance his mother had any bitter stuff?Dadu and Ash burst out in laughter while Shaurya who was not yet out of the house heard this. He glared at her who wasn't aware that he had heard everything.He walked outside towards his car with long steps and sat inside tha car. Intentionally to trouble her he started pressing the horns loudly.Hearing the sounds of the horns, Vaishali stood up from the chair stuffing the food in her mouth. Watching her eating in a hurry dadu said Dadu: Slowly my dear...why are you hurrying up?Ash: Dadu can't you hear what bhaiya is doing...I know he is doing this purposely.Vaishali somehow finished her food and rushed out biding them goodbye. As soon as she sat inside the car, he started the engine and drove harshly. Vaishali got scared for a moment because of the way he was driving.Vaishali: What are you doing sir...please slow down..He did not said anything and kept driving with a smirk on his face. For a moment Vaishali felt like her heart coming to her mouth and due to panicking she closed her eyes and started praying When Shaurya noticed her, he immediately slowed down the speed. When she sensed that she openwd her eyes and took a sigh of relief while Shaurya said Shaurya: next time before speaking anything about me infront of anyone specially dadu and Ash remember this...Now vaishali understood why Shaurya did this and also she realised that Shaurya heard everything when she asked dadu about him. She did not say anything in return and sat silently while he too did not speak further and kept driving. After sometime they finally reached but before anyone could notice Vaishali came out of the car and ran inside.As she was going she suddenly bumped with Vishal who seemed like he was already aware of her arrival. She smiled at him and said Vaishali: ohh hi Vishal...good Morning Vishal: Good Morning Vaishali....how are you?Vaishali: I'm fine..how about you?Vishal: I'm fine too...btw vaishali...I wanted to talk to you.Vaishali: Yes tell me...Vishal: Actually it's kind of personal....I cannot say here...can you come towards the meeting room..there no one is present.Vaishali: But why?Vishal: Please...Vaishali: Okay...Finally agreeing she decided to go along with him. He walked nervously while she followed him. After they reached there Vishal stood before her and taking a deep breath he finally said Vishal: Vaishali...I called you here because...I..I like you.
