Chapter 24: chapter 24

Vishal took Vaishali towards the meeting room which was left abandoned at this moment. He nervously walked while she quietly followed him.Upon reaching there, he without wasting any time came and stood in front of her. Vaishali was clueless about what he was going to say so she watched him with curiosity as well as queries.Vishal understands her gaze, he gives a slight smile and takes a deep breath before speaking. Finally he says Vishal: Vaishali, like I have called you here because....Vaishali: Yes tell me what happened?Vishal: I called you here because...I...I like you.Vaishali could not understand his words, so she gave a blank smile and said Vaishali: What do you mean??...i..i didn't get you.Vishal: Yes vaishali whatever you are thinking it's the truth....I really liked you since the time I first saw you..remember we bumped into each other and then...Vaishali: I know that Vishal...you don't have to remind me that...I mean how could you?Vishal: What do you mean by how could I? Love can happen any time and at any place. I know you are suprised but I know how I was feeling all these days hiding my feelings for you. I couldn't hold it back anymore that's why I told you everything. Vaishali: But...Vishal..Vishal: Listen Vaishali...i know that maybe you are not ready for all this and I respect it but I'm not that bad guy...I will wait for you...you just accept me for once. I promise I'll not cheat or leave you ever.Vaishali: No Vishal, I can't.... I can't accept this...please.Vishal didn't know anything about Vaishali's past as well as her pregnancy. He just knew that Vaishali came here for job and she is single.Vishal: But why?Vaishali: Because it will not be possible for me to accept you.Vishal: Am I so bad?Vaishali: It's not about being bad...you are a perfect guy and anyone would fall for you...but I'm not the one...it's better you forget all these and move ahead.Vishal: No Vaishali, I can't...I mean my feelings for you isn't just a mere attraction but a loyal, pakka wala feelings.Vaishali: I understand that...but it won't be possible for me...please don't force me Vishal: But why Vaishali...I love you so much... please try to understand my feelings...I'm not telling you to love me right now...take your time but be with me...I'm sure you will fall for me hard with each passing time.Vaishali: That will never happen...please She turned her face towards the other side trying to hide her tears which were making their way. She wiped it and it was obvious because whatever happened with her within these few months had changed her life drastically as well as it left a bad trauma and impression on her mind.Watching her like this, Vishal's anger rose...he firmly gripped her shoulder and turned her towards his side with a sudden jerk. She became surprised and looked at him with shocked expressions while he looked into her eyes intensely..full of rage.Vishal: Why vaishali...what is wrong in me? Am I not good looking...am I not deserving?? Tell me...Vaishali: Leave me... Vishal it's hurting me..Vishal: Answer me first...Vaishali: Vishal..please leave me I'm telling you for the last time...now you are crossing your limits...Vishal: No I won't....answer me first.Vaishali was also loosing her patience because of his behaviour. She with her full force jerked his hands from her shoulders Vaishali: Vishal....She gave a tight slap on his face making him almost fall on the ground. He looked at her with wide eyes while keeping his hand on that part of his cheeks where she slapped him.Vaishali: How dare you to touch me like this? Who gave you the authority to talk to me like this...Vishal: Why did you hit me Vaishali?Vaishali: Because you deserved it....Vishal: You did a very wrong thing Vaishali by hitting me....I just wanted to talk to you properly and nicely but you did not do good with me. You will remember this....i promise.Vaishali: O really? Now your blackmailing me? Go go...I'm not scared of your warnings....Vishal: Yaa I'll see that...As I have already mentioned to you about Vishal before hand that he isn't that type of person which he looks like. He is a very egoistic and stubborn man and now this slap just woke his ego. He was ready to accept her rejection but he did not expected her to slap him and this rose his anger very much.He walked away from the meeting room stomping his foot while Vaishali stood there for some more time because her whole face became red in anger. She finally calmed herself and came out going towards her cabin.Meanwhile Shaurya was waiting for her because after he dropped her, she was the first one to go inside so it was obvious that by this time she would have reached there but finding her nowhere he waited for her inside his cabin.His expressions seemed really cold..firstly because of the morning incident and secondly Vaishali wasn't there. By the time Vaishali also reached there, she just kept her purse when he called her inside. For a moment her heart beat became fast realising she was late.She slowly takes her steps inside his cabin not before knocking the door. As soon as she was inside she saw him sitting with a calm yet dangerous look.She became totally numb watching him, while he slowly looked into her face and said sternlyShaurya: Where were you?Vaishali: Sir..I...I mean...Shaurya: I expected you here before I reach...this office isn't your home that you will come and go with your own wish...this office has certain rules and regulations which you are quiet aware of.Vaishali: Ye..yes I was coming only...Shaurya: I hate lame excuses so don't utter one...Vaishali: Sorry...Shaurya: Do you think it's enough...Vaishali was already irritated by Vaishali's behavior and now Shaurya's taunts were triggering her more. She finally left her patience and said sternlyVaishali: Sir, please...I know I was late but that doesn't mean you will say so many things together...I said I'm sorry...Shaurya made an expressionless face while looking at her intensely. She walked out of the cabin without speaking further...Shaurya: How could you??
