“Again?” I asked, smiling at him looking at the flowers.
“Well, I was an ass last time.” He replied, shrugging and I shook my head, taking the flowers like I was from the past week.
“Satvik! You had a misunderstanding which you communicated soon and we both settled it. I think that is more important than this.” I mumbled to which he frowned.
“But I love them!” saying that I stood up from my chair and walked around the desk to hug him.
“By the way, I got a few ideas for our first client.” Saying that he explained a few while I noted them.
“Okay! I will show him these and let’s hope he will accept one of it.” I said smiling excitedly about this.
“I know that you will make him accept any one of it.” He said, winking, and left the cabin while I smiled at his back.
In the evening I returned to the com
*Satvik Pov*“Satvik! I need to speak with you.” Mom’s voice broke the silence and I gave her a nod while Anusha glanced at me and then at Mom.Mom and I walked to the garden in silence and she just stared at the trees not saying a single word while I was just wishing she will let me talk about it clearly.“Mom! The flat is not what you are thinking…” I started, but she cut me off by looking at me.“I always thought that if I need anyone’s help to keep this family together, then all I need to do is ask you.” She started and I shook my head not wishing for her to go think like that.“When you were a kid, you always liked it when we all are chatting together. Do you know the tradition of talking in the evening every day with all of us together was because of you?” she asked and I nodded remembering how I wanted us to have that talk every day.&ldq
*Anusha Pov*“I don’t have any energy to travel, Satvik.” I said for the tenth time while he continued to sort out the files before we can leave.“You can sleep in the car.” he mumbled, not giving much thought.“No! I have to behave like a proper daughter-in-law, right? Otherwise, there would be something else that will hurt your Mom and you will get upset with me.” I mumbled back and he immediately straightened.“I never got upset with you.” He pointed out.“Yeah? You see everything I do with black shade whenever you feel upset about your Mom’s indifference.” I pointed back.“Yes! I have made mistakes, but I don’t know what else to do. I have only you, Sha. I can’t go near our neighbors and inform them I am sad, right?” he asked frowning.“I will be there with you through as many downs as there are. But
*Anusha Pov*It’s been twenty-four hours since I heard those words from him. It’s been twenty-four hours since the whole family is worried for Aunty.“Satvik! Twenty-four hours finished and I think the police will take the complaint now.” I mumbled when he slumped on the chair after calling everyone we know.“I already called them.” Uncle said, walking near Satvik with a normal face, but I can see the tension covering his features.“Where were you going to tell us about this man, Satvik?” he asked when Satvik stayed silent.“Uncle! We didn’t think he will…” he stopped showing me his hand and just stared at Satvik.“Do you even know what danger your Mom is in? And she has nothing to do with him or anything else.” He continued and before I can say anything to stop him he shook his head with a frown at me.
*Ansh Pov*“We will reach the hospital soon.” The nurse assured me, but I stared at my lifeless sister lying on the stretcher.But then she started moving her hand, making me grip it tightly and she finally opened her eyes before staring at me.“Bhai! I… I don’t want to see him again.” She whispered and gasped in pain when the first aid is still being given to her.“Yes! Just hold on to it, Anu.” I mumbled nodding at her.“He… he asked me to leave, Bhai. After all these months…” she trailed off closing her eyes.“I need one more help, Bhai.” She whispered opening her eyes.“What is it?” I asked brushing my tears away.“I don’t want any relationship with him anymore. I know him! And I know… he… he will come and apologize… and I may forgive him. But… but I don&rs
*Satvik Pov*“He is still busy in the meeting.” That’s the reply I got again after two hours of waiting.“Okay! I will wait.” I repeated my words and walked back near the chair before sitting down.I know he doesn’t want to meet me and is asking them to tell me these lines. But I don’t want to leave until I know Anusha is well and to know where she is.I need to see her and tell her that I am the worst person. Remembering each and everything during these two weeks along with searching for her made me realize how badly I let her down so many times.Now, no matter what her brother throws at me, I will be here until I see her. So, I sat like that for the next few hours again lost thinking about the incidents when I found the receptionist standing.“Tomorrow ensure to intimate my assistant the moment client reaches here.” I heard Ansh’s vo
*Anusha Pov*You can do this! I chanted in my head reaching the building and took a few minutes to step out of the cab.I know I am way too early, but I need this preparation time to finally face him. I still remember when he suddenly stood before me when I opened the door.It’s like I was acting as if nothing happened in my life from meeting him to leaving my parents to his home to the gunshot and mainly his accusations. But with his presence, everything burst right through into every thought in my head.Taking a deep breath, I entered the building and saw the receptionist arranging her things before looking at me.“Good morning, Maam! How was your holiday?” she asked smiling.“Good!” I replied, covering my shocked reaction with a cough, and continued to walk and reached the elevator.Finally, after reaching my cabin I took a deep but stilled when I saw the
*Anusha Pov*In the evening after fining the work, I got ready and took the elevator, but stilled when he entered it during the time it stopped near his floor.He kept on looking at the watch not saying a single word while I just stared at the doors. Finally, when they were about to open, he leaned over me whispering, “You are looking beautiful with the happiness in your eyes. I am happy for the events because of which you are feeling happy whatever they are.”“This is because of my new boyfriend.” I mumbled and took a step forward, but he held my hand slightly without forcing.“I know you are lying, Sha. But even that lie is hurting. I deserve that, right?” asking that he released my hand and walked off in a hurry while I frowned at his back.I shrugged off the moment and concentrated on why am I so happy. Yeah, I am finally back with my parents and Dad is also tal
*Anusha Pov*“That will be a problem for us.” Jay stated the moment I explained to them about the call I got this morning.“Why? It is a good opportunity for us to get a brand name directly from the top people.” I pointed out and he nodded smiling.“You are right! And I also know we have full capability to win it, but it will be a problem.” He repeated again before glancing at Satvik and then at me.“What will be the problem?” Yash asked with an irritated expression.“The competition is about making an advertisement in thoughts before presenting that to the judges and make them accept it. That can be done only by two people from the four of us. And those two people for sure can’t go together for this trip. Even if just one goes and takes either you or me, the chances of winning will reduce. And the people limit is just two people. So, tell me
