Chapter 42: chapter 42

After the encounter with Mrs Joshi, Vaishali and Shaurya came to his cabin. He left her hand realising that he was holding it for a long time.Shaurya: Sorry!Vaishali: It's okay...in fact thank you sir..Shaurya: Why are you saying this?Vaishali: Because of everything that happened today. Shaurya: Don't be thankful to me Vaishali, don't forget now you are my wife. Maybe we don't have that bond but still I have taken your responsibility so it is my duty to always protect you and ensure that nobody harms you or the baby.Vaishali just smiled in return because she had no words to say after this. Shaurya too smiled at her and this was the first time Vaishali saw a genuine smile in Shaurya's face.A weird sensation ran around her watching his smile. She proceeded to leave when he stopped her asking Shaurya: Where are you going?Vaishali: where else sir? Of course at my table.Shaurya: Ohh..ohk fine.She turned to leave the room when his phone buzzed with a ring. He picked it up in one go and started talking. Meanwhile Vaishali stood there listening whatever he was discussing over the phone. After talking for sometime he disconnected it and said keeping the mobile aside Shaurya: Vaishali, I have forgotten to inform you that today in the afternoon we have a meeting outside the office. Vaishali: where sir?Shaurya: in the nearby hotel..because the client is staying there so he asked us to meet him there only. I did not wanted to bother you but as your my PS, so I want you to accompany me.Vaishali: Sure sir, I have no problem with that. Shaurya: Are you sure about it?Vaishali: yes sir...I'm totally sure.Shaurya: Fine...Vaishali left from there and Shaurya began with his work. In the afternoon, Shaurya came out of the cabin and looked towards Vaishali's cabin who was busy in her work. For a moment he kept looking at her because she was indeed looking really beautiful. Her messy hair strangles coming front and touching her forhead, her eyes, lips, earrings, and the cherry on the cake was her bindi.She looked totally engrossed in the laptop unaware that someone was watching her so intensely. But soon she felt a strong gaze on her so she looked up and found Shaurya watching her.Shaurya in the other hand kept looking at her until she stood up from the chair coming towards him. Realising his action, he immediately dropped down his gaze and pretended to ignore her.Vaishali: Sir, do you need something?Shaurya: No..actually I came...oh yes...i wanted to call you as we are getting late for the meeting.Vaishali: Ohh wait a second..let me bring my purse. She rushed inside and came back with her purse and phone. He without saying anything further walked while she followed him.Soon they were inside the luxurious hotel. Shaurya and Vaishali went to the reception and he asked Shaurya: Which room is Mr Sen staying?Receptionist: Room no 406Shaurya: okay thank you 😊 They left for the room and soon reached there. Shaurya ringed the bell and within few minutes a aged looking man opened the door.He gave a wide smile as soon as he saw Shaurya. He gestured them to come inside by welcoming themMr Sen: welcome Mr Shaurya, please come inside.Shaurya and Vaishali came inside and sat on the sofa. Mr Sen bought two glasses and a champagne along with him and kept it on the table.Mr Sen: Would you mind some Mr Shaurya?Shaurya: sorry...but I don't drink during office timings.Mr Sen: Fine...I'll not force you. He poured the drink in his glass and started drinking it that's when his gaze landed on Vaishali. For a moment he admired her beauty and checked her from head to toe.Vaishali saw this and she did not find it  comfortable anyway. She felt unease and due to that she tried to arrange her dupatta. Unaware of it, Shaurya began with the meeting but Mr Sen seemed totally lost in Vaishali. He just nodded whenever Shaurya asked him something.Suddenly Shaurya stood up from his seat and said excusing himselfShaurya: Mr Sen if you don't mind can I use your washroom?Mr Sen: yes sure...He went inside the washroom while Vaishali sat there feeling uneasy. Mr Sen suddenly stood up and came to her and gave her a weird smile.Mr Sen: So miss beautiful..all this time I forgot to ask about you...so what is your name?Vaishali: My name is Vaishali sir...Mr Sen: Nice name....anyways your really very pretty...Vaishali: Thank you...Mr Sen: Mind if I sit next to you?Vaishali did not reply but he sat there and started staring at her in a lustful way. All of a sudden he sticked to her and which irritated her Vaishali: what are you doing sir?Mr Sen: Nothing just admiring the beautiful girl near me. I wish you were my PS instead of Shaurya's. I would have squeezed  you everyday Vaishali: Excuse me what do you mean?Mr Sen: O comeon baby now don't act... I know you very well understood what I meant.He lifted his hands to hold hers that's when someone held him. He looked up and saw Shaurya holding his hand.His eyes became big with anger while he was gritting his teeth. Shaurya: How dare you???He pulled him from her and in that process Mr Sen fell on the ground while he came to her and asked concernly Shaurya: Are you fine?Vaishali who was feeling disgusted with Mr Sen's behavior started crying. She just nodded her head in response.
