Dhruv's pov
I walk down to my living room and sit on the sofa with my arms spread and my head resting on the back. These days have been very tiring. Cracking deals and getting my workers to do the job was hard. But it is something that I normally do. That is what my life has turned into after I became a successful entrepreneur. I do not mind, because I do what I like. And the best section is, I don't have to rely on my family to make my ends meet. As if they would even care.
I loosen my tie from my neck as it was suffocating me. I don't understand the logic of wearing ties at all. I personally prefer myself to be tieless. There is so much pressure already, why put up with a dress code that does not help? And not that it attracts any particular interests of the opposite sex. Women do like to pull off a man's tie in bed and the sluts I have fucked always complimented them. Except her. Meera Adarsh. I hate that woman! She ke
"Hello, my little love. What do you like to eat?" Aunty, Laila's mom asks Sonia, who is currently hiding behind me as she is super shy. Haha, no one would tell she is my sister if our faces did not look similar. "Um, she eats everything. You don't have to worry about it." I say with a smile. "Ah, don't worry. Then I will make some Biryani for our little doll, hmm? You both go up and wait for my call." She says and I nod my head. Since the moment Sonia learned that she was coming with me, her expressions were worth recording. She was so happy and bouncing. I can tell that bitch didn't treat her well at all. I'm glad that I made this decision. But another problem remains. I cannot stay in Laila's home forever. Especially with Sonia on top of that. I told them that it will be a maximum of one month and then we will be off to our place. Which I currently don't have! Sonia clings to me a
I walk towards the entrance of the park where my destiny awaits me. Okay! Too dramatic, I believe. Dhruv told Eleanor that we are supposed to meet here, in South Central Park and I agreed. I like parks and Greenery and especially the water bodies, if present. Someone can certainly suggest that I go to a beach. I love beaches too. But beaches have a lot of sand. I don't like sand. Hence, park it is. Or maybe a house pool.I see Dhruv looking ahead at the lake and the sun shines over him, making his straight face glow. Strangely, he is not wearing any formals but a brown hoodie with grey pants. Hmm. I rarely see him in casuals. What is up with him? I chose to wear casuals too because you can't be spotted wearing a dress in a place like this. Well, whatever his reason is, I'm just glad he chose this place.I stand next to him. "Hi." He looks at me, his eyes scanning my look. It kind of makes me feel self conscious of m
One cannot say what life brings and certainly, my life is giving me hurricanes to deal with all of a sudden. With a lot of pressure in my head, I thought that my problems were only external. But never did I believe that I have a word problem. Like, how can I say 'okay' just like that to Dhruv's proposal. I swear I had a lot to say. Like a literal essay. Yes, it is that lengthy and I can tell because one entire page of my diary is filled with the explanations which are supposed to be my speech in front of him tomorrow."What are you doing?" Laila asks as she closes the door behind her."Mi is a student." Sonia says in her cute voice and Laila's eyebrows furrow. She looks at the diary in my hand."I didn't know that you journal your feelings." She scratches her dumb head."Ugh! No. I don't. And this is not my feelings…" I look at my disgusting handwriting wh
Eleanor stares ahead,with her chin resting on the junction of her interlocked hands. "Hmm. This is interesting.""You don't say." I flip the paperweight."Any particular reasons you were able to pick?""Nothing that I could seriously comprehend. He said that he wants me to genuinely like him." I shrug."That is strange. Mr. Saxena has been a very indifferent man to people's emotions. But then again, he chose you at a first glance when on the contrary,he is known for rejecting sugar babies in the call of a day." She says, her fingers getting back to their typing routine on the keyboard."I don't know. He just said it and it didn't seem like a lie.""He wouldn't lie about something like this. It is a very serious matter. Can be more or less considered as a direct proposal of affectionate interests. If the media gets a
The next day, I woke up from my bed and waited for Eleanor's call. She informed me earlier that Dhruv has planned another date between us. I don't mind that and I will be getting the pay, so that's what really matters. But other than that, what keeps revolving around my head is the memory of what Dhruv said a few days back. Whatever he meant by it, for some reasons, it made me feel good inside. I don't know if I am just being stupid or not. Because Dhruv's expressions appear very genuine and a person like me who is a walking lie detector did not catch a thing in my brain device.Sonia sleeps peacefully in front of me and I smile at her. Her health has automatically turned better after she came here. I cannot take her to a doctor right now because I don't have the money,but once I get this month's cut, I will make sure to give her a check-up. It is more because I am worried what kind of things Udipi made her consume. The mere thought of it mak
I look at the man sitting beside me through the corner of my eye. I usually don't feel like a pervert, checking out guys but this one is exceptional. He is really good looking and I can't help but steal some glances. Is he the one assigned to look after us? Hmm. He is wearing a formal black suit under a white shirt and a red tie. It enhances his blonde hair that is short and has a neat cut. I can tell he is from here."Hi! What's your name?" I ask in a jolly voice but all he does is stare out of the video and does not respond. I grunt. Such arrogance. Nowadays, I can see people worse than Dhruv on the street including him. Not even a name? That is straight cut rudeness!"Don't worry, Meera. He is very professional with his work. It is more because of beautiful women being Sugar babies, he keeps his voice to himself. Or he knows he will drift away." David says from the front seat."Oh. I be
Dhruv does not revolt for once when I pull him towards another ride and then another. He strangely remains silent and there is no hint of him being angry. And I feel powerful. Since Dhruv did not make any contact with me but rather I did, it does not break the clause of the contract. Not that I am interested in holding his hand or anything. He just looks a bit pale and lost in this amusement park which makes me come to this assumption that he is not used to living like this. And rides nauseate him. Plus, blondie here is in no shape to take care of him. He looks like he is lost in his own world and hardly pulling through."You should have told me earlier that you don't like rides." I say and he flushes."I—they are childish. I don't understand the concept of enjoying something like that." He defends and I chuckle."Come on. They are not that childish. But I do respect your point. Not
The journey to my house is peacefully silent. No one makes a noise or tries to start a conversation. And strangely, it does not feel required at this moment either. Dhruv looks past his side of the window without spilling a word. I do the same, but my thoughts are more or less focused on our moment on the Giant wheel. It felt too magical to be true. Did I fall asleep and dream about it? I don't know. The mixed emotions induced from the incident render me silent and blondie behind... Well, he does not even fall into the context. No one can tell that he is sitting behind our seat.Dhruv was sceptical about taking him along because it is weird. But since rules are rules, he had to. I seriously don't get the concept of having someone like him with us to keep a watch. What are we? Five year old kids? Though the fact that we went into an amusement park, and Dhruv bought a bag full of potato chips proves the above statement. He offered to give both
