"Don't disturb me as long as my fiancée will be in the office." The receptionist nodded sternly and voiced "Yes sir" more than sure of anything. The people around who were lining up outside his room for his recognition quickly dispersed cautious of not invoking his black eye.

He took a seat behind his desk on his black leather chair and pressed a button on his remote when the door gets locked. He then looks at me with a cheerful smile and pulls me into his lap. "What brought you here today little girl?" He speaks to me endearingly in his soft voice nibbling on my fluffy cheeks. I put the document on his desk and wait for his response with my fingers crossed.

Will I be able to obtain permission from him to go or will I be invoking the sleeping monster inside him. The churning thought in my mind brought me into dripping sweat even though the air conditioning in the room was completely high.
Chapter 28

Ajit

She was playing with the buttons of my shirt sitting on my lap. Her lips puckered like a cute child which means she wants something from me. I gave her some water to drink noting she was anxious. She gulped down the glass in one go and gave me back the half empty glass. I drank the remaining and placed the glass on the table in front. As usual I waited patiently for her to disclose and she placed a folder in front of me as though it was some miniscule puzzle, I had to solve.

I open the folder without a word and glance at the contents of the document which contains details of an international tour for a week days to all the students in their final year. Seven days, away from my little girl was not an easy task for me. But with the look she was giving me, I understood I had no other way except to sign the document. I put my signature at the required places but took a promise from her that she would call me at least twice a day and will speak to me whenever I call her. "Yay" she screamed in happiness hugging me tight and pumped her fist in air "I did it." I put my hand under my chin and look at her with a slight smile. Can she be cuter than this?

Ten days later....

I finish my work in the office and reach an empty home welcomed by silent walls. I took a shower and went to the study to do some office work but couldn't concentrate on it. I sent her away for a week with a promise that she will call me twice a day and answer my calls. It is been twelve hours and sixteen minutes now since she last called - A clear Cheater that she is. I contacted her several times but the phone only reaches for a voice message. I now curse my stars for having listened to her of not having a security behind. "Ajit, I hate 'men in black' moving around me 24/7. I promise I will call you every day." She whines like a cute child and I couldn't deny her when she is giving me those puppy eyes. Having no information about her was driving me nuts with every passing second. My mind begins to hold different scenarios.

Unable to control my frenzy mind, I went to the bar and took out a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label premium scotch. I began to pace the living hall with my fingers on the handset contacting different numbers to find out about her whereabouts. After making the requisite phone calls I rest on the comforter and pull in a cigarette between my lips as I try to calm down my agitating mind.

Closing my eyes for a few minutes my phone begins to beep to see her number flashing on the screen. I pick the call before the second ring "where are you?" My voice was out of my control. "Ajit, I am at the airport. I will be reach." Exhaling a breath of relief, I did not let her complete. "Don't come out of the airport. It's not safe for you to travel alone at this late hour. I will reach there within half an hour" saying that I cut her call closing all the arguments.

I picked the keys from the key stand and jumped into my Rolls-Royce Phantom to reach the destination within twenty minutes in a jet driving speed. She was waiting at the entrance of the airport with a suitcase in her hands. Taking quick long steps I walked towards her with no expression on my face and plucked the suit case out of her hands.

Adaah

His face was emotionless walking towards me. A few seasons earlier I would have thought, he had no feelings but now I understand him quite well. He is extremely excellent in masking his emotions when it's in public. In prompt lengthy strides he reaches me. Holding the suitcase in his right hand, he rested the other on my lower back. I was practically running beside him to reach his car when there was a sudden storm of reporters.

Looking at his face, I knew without a doubt that he was pissed to the threshold but with 'no emotions' under display he carries the habitual matchless facade. Four of his security guards jumped around us out of nowhere. Two were guarding us at the front clearing the path from the flocking paparazzi and the other two were at the back allowing nobody to enclose us.

"Sir, when can we hear the wedding bells of India's top handsome billionaire Ajit Arihant Acharya?" Will it be a simple wedding of close friends or a grand ceremony of international celebrities and guests? Within seconds there was a downpour of flashing cameras on us as Ajit's grip on my waist tightened.
