Avishikta's pov

"Come in" I said and two people came in.

"Good morning Mr. Singhania" I shook hands with him and then the second person My eyes were completely lost in his eyes. The eyes that were holding so many emotions behind that mask. He forwarded his hand and when I held it, I felt my heart beat faster. I was completely drowned in those chocolate-brown eyes. He looks like a fucking meal in this outfit just like my Wattpad boyfriend. The well-settled hair, and white shirt with two bottoms open give a perfect view of his body. How will it feel when My hands will be there? For god sake Shikta he's here for a meeting.

"Good Morning Miss Malhotra," he said sternly

"Morning Mr. Rathore," I said in the same tone looking straight into his eyes. I shook my hands with him.

"Please sit" They sat opposite me and the door knocked again.

"come in," I said and My assistant came in.

"bring my black coffee and what will you take" I looked at Mr. Singhania

"black coffee," he said to her.

I was going to ask Mr.Rathore but someone interrupted

"What can I give you sir," she asked looking at him with a smile. This bitch

"Same" he eyed at Adi. She went away and we proceeded to the meeting. 

"according to your interest, these are the designs" I gave them the design. They took five minutes to look at it.

"It's perfect," Mr. Singhania said with a smile.

"Can you make some changes in this area," Mr. Rathore said looking at me.

"Sure what do you want to add," I asked

The door knocked

"come in" There goes that bitch again. She kept our coffee on the table and she was again looking at him with her seducing smile. I'll fucking kill her. How dare she. Wait why am I having any problems?

We discussed it for an hour and I had no meeting today so I decided to visit Misha because I couldn't say goodbye to her. The two gentlemen went out of my cabin and he looked back at me.

"nice to meet you, Miss Malhotra," he said and went outside. A smile made its way to my face.

I held my blazer in my hand and went outside. I reached near the lift and what is this bitch doing here again with him. She held his hand my blood boiled.  They are here for a fucking business meeting. He opened his mouth to say something but I interrupted him. It was visible that he was uncomfortable.

"Miss Mehta" she heard my voice which was cold and loud and she left his hand and looked down.

"No need to come office tomorrow and collect your termination letter from Daksh" I said gritting my teeth. How can she make a guy uncomfortable? How can she touch him without his permission 

"Ma... ma'am I.." she said with nervousness.

I pulled my gun from my back and she got more nervous.

"words Ms Mehta I hope I made myself clear"

"yes ma'am" She went away

I looked at him who was looking at me with some emotions I don't know what but he was not okay I could see that.

"I'm sorry for what happened Mr Rathore," I said looking at him and walking away towards my private lift.

I went towards the parking and sat inside my car. I need to buy some gifts for Princess. I drove towards a gift shop and went inside. I bought some toys and went inside a baby clothes store and I took a panda outfit for her. She'll look so cute in this. I asked for their address to Ashi Bhabi. I reached the Rathore Villa after 25 minutes.

The guards opened the door and I went inside and Meere Aunty was standing there.

"welcome beta Ashi informed me that you're coming" she said pulling my cheeks with her pretty smile. We went inside and there was complete silence.

"Aunty nobody's at home?" I asked

"Ansh, Naina and Aniket went to work and Your uncles went towards the orphanage and Ishu went to her dance academy and Abhi is with Misha in her room, he came early today he said he was not feeling good, " she said with a smile.

it's all because of that bitch.  looked all around their house, so pretty. Every corner was screaming beauty. A couple in their 70s came from a room I guess they are his grandparents.

"come meet them he's Abhi's dada and she's his dadi" She took me towards them and touched their feet.

"Kaise hain dada dadi" I asked them with a smile.

"She's the daughter of Rakesh bhai and Priti bhabi," Meera Aunty said.

"hum thik hain bete aap kaise ho?" dadi asked me patting my head.

"Main bhi thik hoon," I said with a smile

"Badi pyaari bachi hai," Dada Ji said to Dadi and she smiled.

"Meera hum garden main hain," Dadi said to Meera aunty

"ji maa," she said.

"batao kya khaogi, meri beti ko main apne hath se khilaungi," she said with so much excitement that I could not deny it. After a lot of bickering, she said she'd make aloo paratha.

" Aunty where's Misha" I asked her

"come" she said and I followed her upstairs. She took me to her room and the view that I saw instantly brought a smile to my face. He was still in his white shirt and Messy hair. He was playing with Misha. He was laughing that was the first time I saw him laughing. 

"You know beta whenever he's not good he'll come to Misha, she took all his pain away, he never laughs but with her, he can't stop smiling," Aunty said looking at them.

What happened to him? Why he felt so uncomfortable? He must have gone through something that's why Aunty said all these.

"Dadi ki Pari, see who came to meet you," Aunty said and he looked at me. He looked at me and he was shocked. I looked at Misha took her in my arms pecked her cheeks.

"hi, princess, " she giggled. 

"beta make yourself comfortable, this is your home too," she said with a smile and went out.

"choco," Misha said with a pout in her baby voice. 

"beta you ate three chocolates now na,  we'll eat later," he said to her in his soft voice.

Misha was on the verge of crying.

"Mr Rathore what's wrong with you, don't make my baby upset, we'll eat baby, your chachu is Bad bad" he looked at me with furrowed eyebrows. 

"don't look at me like that open my bag and give her chocolates" I scolded him.

"Okay ma'am," he said and rolled his eyes.

He took a chocolate from my bag and came towards us and he gave it to her. She smiled at him and pulled him closer of course she couldn't do that. He brought himself closer and she pecked his cheeks. He smiled. We were close I wondered how blessed my lips would be if it'll touch his skin. That Damn smile, oh dear lord my heart is melting. He got a call and went towards the couch.

I was playing with Misha and he joined us. We couldn't stop laughing at her activities.  Aunty was right she took all the pain and replaced it with smiles.

Aunty came inside with Aloo Paratha.

"come here you both" We sat on the couch and she brought a chair and sat opposite us.

" Abhi take Misha and sit" Aunty ordered and he took Misha on his lap and sat beside me. Aunty took a morsel and she fed me and then him.

We were playing and Aunty was telling Misha a story, Mr. Rathore went to his room. I don't know when my eyes felt heavy and I slept.

Abhiraj's pov

I went downstairs. It's almost 6 in the evening. Everyone was here except Ani.

"hello my love" Adi said hugging me.

"stay away and what are you doing here" I asked him

"This is my home, Mr. Rathore," he said with a smirk.

Maa came with Shikta, oh she's still here but where was she?

"hello beautiful" Naina Bhabi said.

"Hi, sorry I slept for a long time," she said

"Hey, it's fine shikta, this is your home too," Bhai said hugging her, She went near Bhabi and sat beside her.

"Hi Miss Malhotra," Adi said sitting beside her.

"call me Shikta, we're not in the office Mr Singhania" she said with a smile.

"Hi, it's Adi, friends? " he said with a smile. This fucker, she's my daisy stay away.

"Hi, Shikta," she said with a soft chuckle.

I sat near Bhai and Chachi brought coffee, tea and snacks. Everyone took tea and coffee there were two left and both I and Shikta held the same coffee cup.

"You drink this, I'll take tea," she said

"No, you drink coffee, I'll take tea," I said taking the tea.

"what the fuck, you never drink tea," Adi said with wide eyes.

"Language Adi," Ansh bhai said. He looked at him with an innocent smile.

"Meri Jaan, from when you've started drinking tea" he looked towards me.

"Today," I said ignoring him.

"No Mr Rathore it's fine, you take coffee I'll drink tea" she said and took the tea cup.

"we're not in a business meeting Shikta" She looked at me and smiled.

"Choti maa, where is Misha?" Adi asked

"with the elder clan in the garden, bye I need to join the gossip session" she said and she was going but Bhabi stopped her.

"Maa your son didn't let me eat ice cream today" she said with a pout.

"Good, I'm proud of you Ansh," Choti maa said with a victory smile.

"Nobody loves me," she said and looked at me with puppy eyes.

"what your husband will kill me if I go against him," I said.

"Dramebaaz" Bhai said and shook his head.

"Bhabi you promised that you'd cook dinner today" Adi said with narrowed eyes.

"Rathores never break promises Adi" she winked at him.

"Shikta You wanna join us for a game? Your bhai said you're into games?" Bhai asked her with a smile. Oh, she's into games it'll be fun. Please yes, Daisy.

"I'd love to Bhai but I gotta help my Bhabi jaan with dinner," She said while hugging Bhabi.

"I'll manage shiku darling" Bhabi said

"You know I love cooking,  please," she said with puppy eyes.

"fine" Bhabi replied with a smile.

"You know Shikta if anyone else would have called bhabi jaan, Ansh bhai would have killed that person there," Adi said looking at Bhai and sipping his coffee. 

"Yeah, but she's My sister, not anyone else," Bhai said looking at her.

" Does that mean you love her more?" he asked with a pout.

"Everyone loves her more, and don't make that face you look like shit," I said looking at him

"what do you love Shikta more than me? I'm your best friend " he asked making a sad face. She looked at Adi with wide eyes.

"No, he only loves you shut up," Shikta said slapping him on his shoulder. 

"your mouth has no filter," Bhabi said.

"so what Shikta is my bestie," he said keeping his arm on her shoulder.

" You know Adi, I don't make 'chalta firta radio' my besties and I already have a human being who's my bestie," she said stressing extra on the word Human being.

Bhai, Bhabhi burst out laughing.

"so what you're my bestie, I don't care," He said shrugging. She chuckled.

"I can't believe you're the same person who was acting all professional in the morning," Shikta said shaking his head. He gave her a smirk in return.

Here my best friend is talking to her like a long-lost friend and I don't know how to start a conversation. They were talking and Ani came.

"Hello," he said and then looked at Shikta and then all of us.

"she's real," Adi said

"oh sorry hi," Ani said to her

"Hello buddy," She said with a smile.

"You look good with all these," she said looking at his biker jacket.

"Kya faida phir bhi ladki nahi pat ti isse, " Adi said looking at him

"Jaise tere liye toh line lagi hai," Ansh bhai said and everybody laughed. 

" Nobody loves you see," I said with a victorious smile.

"Shikta come let's go, I can't waste my time with these idiots," Bhabi said.

"She called You Idiot" Adi went near Bhai and whispered in his ear. That was audible you idiot.

"stay away from my husband, I don't trust you and don't touch him," Bhabi said with furrowed eyebrows pointing her finger at his face. He huffed and went to the game room. They went to the kitchen and we went to the game room. We played for 1 hour and went to my study we were discussing something and I went towards the kitchen to make coffee.

She was standing there and she was trying to take something from the top shelf.

"wait" I went there and helped her.

"you need something?" she asked me with raised eyebrows.

"yes coffee," I said taking the coffee mug.

"Oh wait give me five minutes I'll make it" she said in a hurry.

"I'll make it don't worry," I said and she denied so I had to say yes. As Papa says you can never say no to Malhotra.

"You look tired," she said out of nowhere

"Huh. Oh yeah work pressure" I said looking at her. I can sit here all day looking at her. She's so pretty and polite but all bossy in her office. I should thank her for what she did in the morning.

"Shikha," I said and she hummed and looked towards me.

"Thank you for stopping her in the morning," I said in a soft tone.

"No need. It was visible that you were uncomfortable so yeah, don't worry it won't happen again. I'll make sure of that" she said with a smile and I nodded.

"You looked nervous when she touched you," she said while pouring the coffee into a mug.

"yeah, some issues of the past" She looked towards me and gave me coffee her fingers brushed against mine. I looked into her eyes which were already looking at mine. We heard Bhabi's voice. She took her hand back.

"Thank you for the coffee," I said and went out of the kitchen. I can feel that she's still looking at me should I turn? Oh yeah, I should. I looked back and yes she was looking at me.

She smiled.
