For the first time in ten days, Tanvi went home. Seeing the busy streets, and buildings she used to roam across gave a nostalgic feeling to her. But the only difference was, that she was not the same woman as before.Stepped onto the eighth floor, she grabbed her jagged keys and shoved open the weathered door. Strode into her bedroom, hugged her teddy bear, and fell asleep.In the morning, she stared emptily back into her reflection and half-heartedly freshened up before heading to the office. To hide her pale face, and swollen eyes, she did a little bit of makeup and moved out of her house.Inside her OfficeSat on the chair with folded legs, Tanvi peeped across the stack of files and sighed. "Huh!! Since I'm not here for a week, piles of work were waiting for me."Tapped her forehead with a groan, "But... my mind wasn't supporting me... to focus on my work." She closed her eyes in disappointment."Let me check the emails, at least." She thought....Rudra was in his office, and his
08:00 PMRudra was driving his Maserati alone when the roads were illuminated by the street lights. Supposedly, he should be in a relieved mode since the meetings went well and according to his plan, but an uneasy feeling was building up in his stomach, making him feel restless.His grip tightened on the steering, "Why I'm sensing that something was about to go wrong?" Racked his hair in annoyance, "Was Diana up to cause trouble again?" His amber eyes turned perilous with the thought of Diana."Ah! I couldn't pinpoint what exactly was it." He sighed and when he was about to dial Maahir, his screen lit up."Boss!! Ms. Tanvi was at a bar. She collected all her files and stuff from her office."Listening to that, his eyes widened. Stopped the car aside, his lips pressed into a thin line, "why did she do that? What the hell happened over there?" He pondered."Ugh. This wasn't going to work." With that, he dialed Maahir."Boss!""Did anything happen at Tanvi's office?""Um... I'm not sure,
Grasping the changes in her emotions, his lips curled upwards. "My revelation shocked her." He's trying to control the smile that's about to burst out, and fake coughed while brushing his nose.Hearing the sound, she attentively drew her stare onto his eyes, which met with hers.She was the first person in years to look directly into his eyes without hesitation. It amused and pleased him. This woman was stronger than she looked. Here she sat, doing her best to look blase, covering the fear he knew she must have felt."I allowed her to do that because she'll be mine!! Only she can behave like this with me." Only for her, his eyes gleamed with tenderness and showered the warmth.Though she had no way of knowing, he was doing his best to show her a side of himself rarely seen by anyone else.He moved beside her when her eyes rolled across his movements and her eyes widened. "Relax!" He said in a soothing tone.By inhaling the intoxicating fragrance from him, a slight chuckle plastered acr
Rudra stood in the garden when a smile plastered on his lips seeing the quiet sky when the dense clouds were moving aside, giving way to the shining sun. The chirping sound of birds sounded more cheerful to him. The ordinarily annoying sounds of the gardeners didn't irritate him today.The moments he had with Tanvi yesterday enlightened him. The desire he buried awakened when the familiar warmth seeped through his nerves with her gestures. Her image occupied his mind.Inside the meeting hallSat in the presidential chair, a noticeably happier expression lingered across his face. He even overlooked a mistake they made in the meeting, which was unusual. His subordinates were dumbfounded and stared at him in awe. "This is the first time he excused this easily." They mumbled quietly.When the room was still dimly lit with the projector light, a creaking sound alerted the members in the hall. Turned around, they saw Maahir suddenly show up, which was very unusual of him unless there was som
A week of joblessness and Tanvi had barely ventured further than her bed.The cool breeze swept through the window, caressing her bare legs where they stuck out from the soft covers. Maybe today she would go out. Pulling on a pair of ripped jeans and a checked shirt, she finger-combed her hair into a bun with a few soft tendrils draping against her face and neck...."Boss!! You need to sign a few more documents," Maahir placed a few files on the table while Rudra was glancing at the screen and flipping through the reports without batting an eye.His kneen gaze was focused entirely on the latest dealings to incorporate the losses that occurred by the previous contract breakage, and a creaking sound from his mobile alarmed him.Instantly, he picked it up by the tune."Boss! Ms. Tanvi is going to the cafe near west Malad," his men informed.Hearing that, a sudden urge to meet Tanvi fascinated him. Fidgeting with his fingers on the glossy table while twirling in the swiveling chair, an id
21st NovemberTamaz noticed Rudra's lips curving upwards as he entered the office. Rooted over there, his eyes gleamed with happiness by seeing the nonchalantly cold-faced man smiling in a daze."Rudra? You there?" He questioned, dramatically controlling his laughter.Hearing the voice, Rudra snapped back and gave a whining look, "spoiler's back, huh?""Come on, man! I saw you chuckling. You better spill the beans now before I find it on my own." Biting his lips with arched brows, Tamaz teased.Rudra sighed, "fine! There's nothing to hide from you anyway.""Woah! Any progress with Tanvi?""Uh! I don't know." He shrugged.Tamaz eye's widened, "what...? You don't know...? How's that... possible?""Um... so actually, we met at CCD a couple of days before.""So? How does that relate to what you said? I mean, why'd you smile if there's nothing?" Tamaz shrugged hysterically."It's pretty complicated." He quoted while his lips pressed into a thin line."Ah! Do you take me a fool?" Tamaz hisse
Tanvi settled herself on the couch with crossed legs, her intense stare focused on the television. With the frightening sounds in the horror movie, she curled her T-shirt in her grip with eyes widened as her enthusiasm increased in anticipation.Meanwhile, the vibrations of her mobile startled her. Picked it up, she froze seeing the message. "Four lakh rupees deposited to my bank account?"In the next minute, she jumped from the couch, "what? Four lakhs?" She's at a loss of words as her world suddenly began shining to her."Ms. Erica had done her job perfectly, it seems." She exclaimed and flipped on the banging music, "times like this need a little celebration."She swayed her hips in accord to the lyrics while humming as a smile plastered across her lips.Strode to her bedroom, "Ugh! I'm exhausted." Stretched herself as she drained all of her energy and fell on the bed to take a good nap.When she's about to close her eyes, a knock on her door alarmed her. "Who's this now?" She ran h
28th November, 06:00 AMInside the stunning hall, painted in beige with wooden floor, enclosed with rooftop glasses with a turquoise water beach view, the rising and falling waves were breathtakingly beautiful.With the bright illuminations from the sun stroking Rudra's handsome face, his features turned more captivating by highlighting his tall figure, well-built body, and a relaxed, carefree smile settled on his face.Slowly he leaned on the couch while unbuttoning his grey suit and racked his hair. The messy look made him more enticing, and his amber eyes rolled onto Tanvi's thin figure as she playfully stuck her tongue out at him.His eyes sparkled in the presence of her. With his one glance, anyone can be mesmerized as he appeared as a greek god. A chuckle escaped his inviting lips, and his velvety voice is like a lullaby to her ears.Her deep black eyes glued onto him as if he were the most precious one to her in the entire world. Gaped her mouth, she was in awe with his charms a
