Hello!! Sorry for any typos!!I went to the office the next dayHello Gautam!Thank God you are ok! He came and hugged meArjun told me everything. What the hell were you even doing there? He askedI'm fine, don't worry!That is when Arjun was passing by and he saidRia in my office in 10 minutes! He orderedHe seemed to be in a bad moodWhat is wrong with him? I asked GautamI don't know since morning he has been like that! Gautam shruggedI went towards his Cabin and decided to wait outsideJust then the same man came out of the Cabin whom I saw last night along with ArjunI knocked on the doorCome in! Arjun repliedI went insideWho was he? I askedDavid my bodyguard Arjun repliedOh! Is there anything important you want to talk about?Yes, where are the files?Oh no, I forgot them! Let me get them!Why did you simply end up here!? I suppose I was paying you to work, and not for staring at your boss, Go get them! He said taunting meI went out of the cabin and saw Kajal outside she was waiting to go inShe was glaring at me as if I had stolen her chocolatesChocolates are the most precious to meI ignored her and went back to get the filesI got the files to Arjun's cabin and stood outsideI could hear voices, they were fighting over somethingAnd before I kept my ear closer to the door to listen to what was happeningThe door flung open and I was startledKajal was angry with a letter in her hands and she was walking awayI entered the roomWhat is wrong with her? I asked worried about my friendShe has been thrown out of the company for a mistake she has made he said with utmost calm composureAnd what is that? I asked placing my hands on the tableWell, you tried listening to it outside the door right? He said placing his knuckles over his chinDamn! He surprises me each timeMy eyes widened and I quickly changed the topicHere! The files you asked forHe made a smirk and I tried to look awayI made a move to go back when he saidPrincess? We are having a family dinner tonight and your family is invited, see you there he saidLook I'm not a princess in the first place and secondly, I'm not coming anywhere and thirdly this marriage is not happening as well! I said folding my armsI know you like Kajal and I'm going to stop this! I said coming out of the cabinIn the afternoon I received a call from my mom mentioning the same about the dinnerAnd my response was the same as wellMaa! I have work I'm not comingArre! Rita has insisted on bringing you and you are coming! while coming from the office shop for something good ok?And before I could reply the call was cutThe whole day I couldn't concentrate, why was he not trying to stop the marriage? I mean he loves Kajal, doesn't he? Why did he fire her? There were so many unanswered questions and eventually I decided to wait for the answers I was sure something was going onAnd a person like me should feel happy about getting the love of her life! I'm trying to break my own marriage, what am I doing??I couldn't deny the dinner and dressed up(P.S) - only for referenceThis was my outfit and I had left my hair open in loose curlsAnd my ears were decorated with my piercingsI put on a little amount of nude lipstick and I was doneI hated makeup and also that my skin was naturally clear and clean so there was no point in putting on any makeupI wore my favorite smartwatch, and bracelet and left....We sat at the dining table while the maids served the foodThe table was filled with delicacies like Paneer Butter Masala, Dal Makhni, Rajma, Chicken, and fish for the non-vegetarians, along with rice and rotisWe were planning to get you guys engaged next week Uncle saidI choked on my waterGautam who sitting next to me patted my back while I was coughingAnd the wedding would be a small and intimate one soon after the engagementWhat no?! This can't beUncle, what is the hurry? We can wait! Isn't it Arjun?! I smiledOh, beta! It is time for me to have a complete retirement and play with my grandchildren happily I can't wait any longer Rita aunty saidAnd it is time for me to peacefully live after all how many years am I going to keep trouble on my head my mom said laughingAnd ya of course I need my own room too Adi added smiling with a wide smileThat's it I knew this plan was of these devilsI was feeling bad, I didn't want to hurt Kajal by doing thisI quickly ate my food and went to the gardenGautam walked after me and stood beside meBeautiful right he said looking at the night skyYea! I love watching the night sky full of starsAre you happy now? Gautam askedI don't know Gautam! I feel like I'm stealing someone else's lifeIt is Kajal who is supposed to stay in this place not me, I don't deserve any of this it is all Kajal'sHey! hey! Calm down, Arjun threw away Kajal from his office which means she must have done something bad, he is doing this willinglyJust don't worry everything would be fine, ok?Yes I noddedWe went back into the house and saw that Dad and mom had already left since Dad had to attend an important call and mom decided to accompany him leaving Adi alone with meDon't tell me she did this on purpose tooAnd now it was decided that Arjun would drop me backI sat in the car in the front seat and Adi was in the back seatHe was in deep sleep and that meant nothing would bother him, even if a tsunami comes he would still prefer sleepingJust like his sisterI was tired and the silent environment was making me want to sleep and without my knowledge, I had dozed offArjun's POVHer face was so peaceful when she sleptAnd again looking at her lips those nude lipsI wish someday they were all mineI was so lost in looking at her that I had to put a sudden brake as there was a puppy on the roadDue to the sudden force, her head was about to hit the dashboard when I put my hands over her head preventing it from hitting the dashboardRia! Where is your seatbelt?! I askedShe was sleepy and didn't bother replyingGosh this girl would be my death somedayI turned towards her side and decided to put on the seatbelt while she slept carelessly and gave her a peck on her foreheadAfter her seatbelt was buckled I turned back to check if Adi was okThat is when I saw his mouth hang open and his eyes widenedDid you see everything? I asked with horrid eyesYes everything he said still not sure about what he sawFine I'll top up your game with 1000 diamonds if you don't tell her anythingAdd another zero he said with a smirkFine! Deal? I said giving upDeal he said going back to sleep againThis little devil was just like his sister I wonder where did they get such brains fromFinally, her house arrived and I bid her ByeAunty was looking at me with the loveliest smile of hers and I wished her GoodnightGoodnight beta! She said going back inSo this was it!! Hope you liked it such lovely brothers and sisters 🤣🤣
