Amaan's POV
That was something which I least expected. That too a betrayal from my trusted employee. I thought him to be very naive. But it was all his plan to trap me. I fisted my hand in anger. How dare he do this?
I have made sure to make it very confidential as I don't want any of my rivals or my family to know about it. I called for a meeting with the investors. Even though they were trusted ones, they were not willing to hear what I was saying. One of them said, "Sir I know what you are going through but we have our own employees who work under us and we cannot make them to wait. We have to pay them otherwise it is going to be tough for us."
"We trusted you and it was to this reason we have you such a hefty amount of money.
They were making me more than frustrated. They were asking me a date in which I could give them their money. But how could I promise them without seeing any solution. That scoundrel has ran away with more than a million. And how I am I gonna pay them back within a limited time period.
I called off the meeting angrily. "I don't have anything to say. If there is any update I will inform you." Saying this I walked out of the conference hall. This was something more than what I could bear. I cannot let my empire which was my years of hardwork to go down in a second. But how I gonna repay the debt which that son of a bitch caused.
I came to know that he has left the country. I am gonna lay my hands on him the moment I come know where he is.
I was puffing my ciggarate in order to vent out my anger when Navi called. I was in no mood that I rejected the call and then switched off my phone.
2 weeks passed by but my anger was only increasing day by day. The investors were calling my secretary repeatedly.
Then Papa called me to say that I must get home no matter what. Even though I tried resisting he cut the phone. I thought I could get a bit of relaxation but when I reached there everyone was literally nagging me for not being able to go home regularly. They asked me the reason for my sudden change in behaviour. But those made me more angry.
I went away upstairs without uttering a word. I spent the days in terrace. I was trying to make everything alright but the anger was not subsiding. Then in the morning Zarah came to me, I praying that she would not come. I was in no mood and I don't want to hurt my girl. Even though I asked her to leave she was reluctant to know the reason. Soon I lost my temper, I yelled at her. Then seeing tears flowing from her eyes I came to know I have gone too far. I made her cry. She ran towards her bedroom. I was in guilt about what happened. So I I decided to leave the house as soon as possible. I cannot face her.
The next day I called Fai to ask about her when he said that he left the day itself and she was crying badly. She hardly are something. Hearing this I was angry with myself. I am messing all things up. I cannot make things difficult for her. At that point I decided to make things alright as guilt had completely eaten me up.
I booked my ticket and flew to Punjab. I knew she will not be forgiving me that easily but I want to make things right. I called Max to know of her location, he informed me that she was in the badminton court. As soon as I reached there I dialled her. I called her a number of times but she didn't pick them up. Then she rejected the call again and again. She blocked my number so I tried calling from Max's number she rejected it and finally took it. Thank God!
I said her that I want to talk with her. But she refused. She was very annoyed and angry. It is very hard to handle her when she is angry. But she was making me more angrier. But I deserved it as the way I yelled at her and hurt her was more.
She finally cut the call on me. Then I saw her coming down wearing a grey tank top with black pants. She had her hair in a ponytail and was completely drenched in sweat. Even though her face showed anger, she was looking quite pretty. As soon as I saw her I went to her and grabbed her wrist as I knew she will not come with me otherwise. She was surprised when she heard me and then I grabbed her. Her protesting was of no use. I said, "Zarah could you please calm down?"
Saying this I went towards Sasha and asked if she could excuse a few minutes. Hearing this Zarah spoke out, "No she is not going to give a few minutes as we are leaving."
But Sasha said, "You know what Amaan you can take your time. It's okay for me." Saying this with a smile started walking.
Zarah shouted at her, "You can't do this Sasha. This is unfair."
She looked at her giggled. "I can drop you home."
She narrowed her eyes, coming towards me she said, "You know what, you can yell at me, order me around and act as if nothing happened. But I cannot do that."
I sighed and said, "I am sorry Zarah."
Her amber eyes were into mine. She seemed to be lost. Then after a while she said, "It's okay."
"So can we go now?"
"Yeah"
I smiled at her. I drove to the nearby stall and bought panipuris for her. Then we started walking. She said, "You disappointed Uncle a lot. He was very much worried about you."
"Yeah I did. But I have made up things alright. Don't you worry now."
Then came an awkward silence. She was not like others who would continuously ask why someone is upset or if anything happened. And that is one of the things which I liked the most in her. When I asked her once why she doesn't ask she replied me that those who really care and place her as a priority would tell her no matter what and why is there a need ask. They will tell her when the right time comes.
So I coughed in order to break the silence. She looked me, then I explained to her reason behind all this. I was literally telling her everything. She was right, when we are telling something upon our own will there seems no disturbance. All the while she stared at me.
She said, "If that was the case you could have atleast discussed it with Uncle. He would have helped you. When a problem arrives it is not better to keep things to yourself. It can further cause harm."
I smiled at her and said, " Yeah I should have. Or atleast told it to you. I was wrong."
