After the incident that took place in the morning, I did not wish to eat anything. I was in a total confused state. I also knew that the mistake was on both of us.
Must I go and apologise to him for shutting him out or just leave the incident to face its own consequences.
With all these thoughts I was not able to do anything else. I was not even able to take rest.
As I was fighting with my thoughts, my doorbell rang. I must open the door. But what if it was Jared, how must I behave towards him? Must I be angry or must I be regretful? I slowly moved to open the door.
It was Rihaan who was standing at the door. Only then I realised that the time had run so quickly. He entered with a smile. That gave me the confidence that he was in a very good mood. As he entered he asked me to prepare the dinner.
I quickly moved to the kitchen to prepare the dinner and once I finished, we both had it though I wasn't in a mood to eat. I wanted to tell Rihaan everything that had happened. But as usual, Rihaan went to his room to hug his laptop.
I again stayed on the sofa after he left. I wanted to sleep beside Rihaan but when I went into the room there was no place for me on the bed as it was full of documents and files. I was wondering if he wanted his files to be on his bed why did he marry me in the first place?
I really regretted coming in. When I was about to leave, something caught my eyes, it was the photo of Jared in a document. I thought he applied for some job in Rihaan's company. As I opened it, I was shocked. He is the CEO of a famous Bilkins international company.
As I was going through his file, Rihaan explained to me about Jared. He said, "Jared is a very efficient young man in bringing his company from the least position to the topmost. His determination and will power will not be suitable for anyone. But he has been unavailable for certain months. I'm too trying to make a tie-up with his company. But he is unavailable." As Rihaan finished I silently returned to the sofa leaving him to continue with his work.
Now I felt that I had totally lost everything.
Why must a rich person come and stay in a normal place as we did? As he was rich, girls would be wanting to be with him but why was he coming at the back of me? All these thoughts did not allow me to sleep the whole night. When I was about to fall asleep, the alarm in my mob rang which signalled me that I could not sleep after that.
I got up to do my usual works. After Rihaan left to the office, I again started to brood over what I found in the file. But after the incident in the lift, I thought everything was finished between us. So I decided to drop the thought and go on with my work.
As I was about to start with my work, there was someone at the door. When I opened I found it to be Mrs Svetler. She invited me to her house as she had planned for a meeting for the housewives. I somehow wanted to escape from it. But I had no other choice but to accompany her. We reached her home which was on the first floor. As the meeting started, I really felt bored of what they were talking. I wanted the meeting to get over as early as possible. At last, it was over after some, say one and a half hours. I bid goodbye to Mrs Svetler and thanked her for allowing me to participate in such a wonderful meeting. Even though I knew it was not that good.
I reached the elevator and I waited for its doors to open. As it opened I entered it. There was no one inside except me, and I didn't need anyone as I felt safe with myself. But the elevator door opened in the third floor and Jared entered. The moment he entered I was ready to go out. As I tried to walk out of the elevator he caught hold of my right hand. He asked me not to leave him. I don't know what was happening to him? But I knew from his eyes that he was speaking from his heart.
I quietly stayed in and he left my hand and we remained till we reached the ninth floor.
When I was about to leave, he asked me, "Can I accompany you to your home?".
I wanted to say no and I said no. I was really satisfied that my heart was obeying my mind at last.
He was staring at me as if, I must change my answer. But I did not want to. I did not want him to accompany me anytime thereafter. So once again I shook my hand in a negative motion. He made a childish face to my answer. That made him look so cute. But I stood with my decision.
I started walking towards my home, as the elevator doors were closing behind. I took my house keys and was trying to open the door. But I did not know that Jared was standing behind me.
As I opened the door he whispered into my ears, " you are beautiful". Those words made me frightened.
I turned back to find him standing there in front of me. As I was about to open my mouth, he said that he came here just to tell those words.
I was standing there not knowing what to do? Must I thank him for his compliment or must I let things go? As I was thinking, once again he replied that it was not necessary to thank dear ones. Dear ones? He is not my dear one. I never told him I liked him. Then what made him say that?
Then he walked towards the elevator, asking me to inquire about my heart. At that moment, I did not take that seriously. I entered home and sat down wondering what his thoughts were.
Was he really trying to win my heart? But why would he do that? Am I the only girl in the world? He has got very good looks, a robust man with mesmerising eyes and fair complexion. Any girl will fall for him, for his looks. Why would he want to chase me?
With all these thoughts, I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was 7 in the evening. I felt that I had a really bad dream. I started preparing dinner. Rihaan arrived and everything went as usual.
