1408 Words
Swati's POV "So, I should sign here?" I ask my manager with a blue Parker pen in my right hand. "Yes maam, and please be sure to attach your permission copy, and the written letter by the previous owner." He says with his expressionless face and tone and I do as he says. I dont know what is wrong with Riya she is not present even today! Hope she is well, her phone is unreachable and it is making me tensed in some way. My manager takes the papers and puts them neatly in a folder, bowing a curt bow he exits my office with the papers for further procedure. Guess what? I bought the mansion! Yay! I am so excited right now, I just want to dance around. My cabin's semi-glazed door flung open and I see a huffing Dhruv at the door. Beaming with a cheerful smile I stand from my chair and he slams both his hands on my working desk! What was that! "You bought the mansion you were having weird dreams about?" He says throwing daggers towards me. "Yes, I was about you tell you, Ashok just took the papers away, things will get settled within tomorrow and I am planning to clean the mansion and stay there for some days." I say in one go with a cheerful and happy chirping tone only to be greeted with his angry face. "What is it?" I ask in a worried voice and he sits on the chair with a plop! "Honey, we never discussed about you purchasing the mansion, did we?" He asks in his super calm tone and I slowly sit on my chair as well. I know we are gonna get married but it's not that he has to keep control of every single thing I do! It's my money and I have the complete right to use it as I will. "Just days before you had weird dreams about the mansion and were trying to run away! But in contrary to that you not only went to the mansion without my knowledge but also purchased it? Why? Am I that unapproachable to you? We are about to get married Swati! I want all the things to be discussed, if that dream was not attached to the mansion I would have never interfered with this!" (Dhruv's POV) I must keep her action in my control. Firstly the doc said I must inform every action of her's, and if she acts according to her will, things will get difficult for me. . . (Swati's POV) "I dont want to feel controlled by anyone." I say in a low voice with tears pricking my eyes. "No one is concerned about my wishes! No one asks me what I feel, what I need! Mom never asked me if I wanted to be a model or a painter! my designer never asked me what type of clothes I like to were, if I like my hair colored or not, no one respects my decision! And here when I am happy about purchasing the mansion you come bragging in my office only to nag me in front of my employees! marriage you say, DID YOU EVER ASK ME IF I AM HAPPY WITH THIS MARRIAGE OR NO?" I shout at Dhruv at this point and he stares at me with a shocked expression. Oh god! I think I took things too far! I avoid his gaze and stare at my fisted hands over my knees. "What did you just say? You are not happy with this marriage?" He asks in an irritated tone. "No, I mean... it's not that I am not happy, I am just not sure like if it's the right age? I am just not sure." "Let's call it off then!" He says standing from his seat with his hands tugged in his pockets. "What? Dhruv I didn't mean it that way! Okay...I might have sounded like it but I never said I had second thoughts about this marriage!" "It's just so funny how uncertain you are about your own thoughts." He says in a stern voice with his expressionless eyes. That gaze is making me shiver in my own skin! "I never wanted to sound that way, it was just...like it was a flow of emotions that's all! I dont want to call it off..Dhruv." Before I could even finish my sentence he walks out of my cabin slamming the door behind him and I rush towards him with shivering hands. I dont want this, I can't lose him. I walk behind him as briskly as possible in my pointed heels and tug on his coat sleeves making him stop at the center of my office with my employees sitting all around and staring at us. "Swati, leave." He says in the coldest possible tone and I grip on his sleeve even tighter. "I didn't mean it, okay, I am just unhappy with how you are behaving on my decision of purchasing the mansion." I say in a low trembling tone and he slams my hands off his coat. "You said your decision about the marriage was never asked, and now I am respecting your decision and giving you the f*****g freedom from me! Happy?" He says gritting his teeth. Tears blind my vision and I stay still at my place. What must I do to calm his nerves? Oh God, I am hating myself! "Dhruv." I whisper and neglecting my empty words he walks away from me out of my office, leaving me alone with my tears. Don't do this, I can never let go of you! Dhruv! I pray calmly in my mind, knowing the fact that he can not hear my words. He disappears from my vision making me still as a mannequin. . . . Dhruv's POV My secretary opens the door of my Rolls Royce and I sit in there with a hurt and an angry expression. "Where to sir?" He asks me and takes his place by the driver and I am lost in my thoughts! I must have not said all that, it was not necessary, she must have been just stressed out that's all. It's not like she throws a fit daily! I must have comforted her. Breaking off the engagement? Are you crazy? Can you even imagine being alive without her? My subconscious mocks at me and I sit there doping my ears like a helpless lovesick puppy. No, I can't do it. I knew the fact that she was unsure about this marriage but I thought things will go better if we spend more time. Anyway, what's done is done, she needs a dose too, it's not like I should be the only one to understand her hidden emotions and act accordingly. She must also think about my feelings. "Sir, are we going to the company? Or the lab." She must also share these burdens that I feel about her unsure thoughts. But look at her condition! It's not like she is a normal person, it's very common for her to be with disturbed thoughts, and I am upset with you acting thoughtlessly in front of her knowing her weakness. My subconscious mocks me again! I dont know what to say anymore, but one thing is for sure, she must be the one to approach me this time. I am at my limit, I need to feel loved too. "Sir, are we not gonna go back to your villa?" I hear my secretary asking me again. "Patience!" I say gritting my teeth, firstly my thoughts are all messed up, and now this. "Take me to the company, and do a reservation of Air India. I'm leaving for Berlin tonight." "But sir you said to postpone it by a week, you are waiting for madam's contest results aren't you?" He asks to confirm my decision. "I am leaving for Berlin tonight! Am I clear?" I say in an irritated tone making him sweat. Stupid person, can not read the room. I need to meet doc in Berlin and give her Swati's blood sample also. The earlier the better. I look out of my polarised window and gaze on the lake as my car wheels run swiftly on the newly built road. Things will go good. She will come back to me. I repeat these thoughts consoling myself and prepare myself for my journey tonight.
