Trapped by Mr PERFECT. ( Billionaire Edition)

Inner battle - 2

Nik Agnihothri POV

I was sleeping next to my best friend as I don't want to leave her alone for a second, She looks lost and completely upset from last day. I opened my eyes at 5 a.m. Because I hear the sound of Moo mumbling. She still looks like a mess, kind of Lost in her thoughts. She was talking like crazy to herself for half an hour. If someone else was in my place, they would be really scared of her and consider Moo as a crazy person. But she's my bestie and I knew her very well, She is going through a lot of trouble.

I stay still in bed, as I didn't want Moo to focus on me. She had no idea that she was talking to herself the whole time. And I could almost hear her every word. I was lying near her and was trying to listen to her every word while carefully focusing on her every move. She buried her face in her palms, and sometimes she stroked her hair in frustration and anger. It seems like she's in battle with herself. Arguing with in to clear her thoughts. I understand she is going through hell. She's suffering in every possible manner. She was having conversations with her self discussing every single deep thought of her mind. She was explaining her inner mind to fight back.

When she seems a little bit calm to me.

I snapped her to reality. She finally saw that I am awake. She told me to sleep again, but I refused. How can I sleep peacefully if she is upset?

I suggest her to go for walk with me in an enthusiastic and motivating manner, as I want her to feel fresh so that she can do better for the rest of the day. And the walk is the best way to do that.

Moo said yes for a walk, I knew her well she knew exactly why I am doing this so she just simply accept to go with me. After walking for half an hour we stop near the pond to sit at our favourite spot. She was zoned out again constantly starting at the same place.

Again, I snapped her back to earth. She finally admits what was going on within her mind.

“ I am just clearing my mind so that I can think straight”. She said with complete focused it seems like She has again become the same old warrior who has faith in herself.

I respond with a smile and said Sincerely assuring her “ Good, I am always there for you in your every decision and I will never let you fall”

She replied with relief that, I am the one who always makes her feel strong. And I am happy that she’s again trying to be strong and this time she seems stronger than ever.

After that, we grab the breakfast and went back to the apartment and I got ready in my usual work clothes, I left the apartment at 8 a.m., as Today I want a half day off for visiting police station with Moo.

As I reached early than everyone else I decide to work on my new designs. I’ve been working on a new clothing line for the spring collection. I got my inspiration from flowers and plants of Mughal Garden, Rashtrapati Bhawan (president house) Delhi, India. my hometown, I visited there with one and only Moo. This garden opens only once a year for approximately 20 days. And at that duration, the Mughal Garden is full of beautiful floral, medicinal and bonsai trees. Huge Mesmerising varieties of plant which inspired me to work on a collection who everyone can remember and love. 

Today I am going to show some of my designs to my boss as Moo told me that now I am ready to create my name among best fashion designers. She’s my bestie but she always guides me like my mentor. I still remember that day when I told her that I am good for nothing and I will quit my job. She scolds me like my mother, sister, dad and teacher all in one. She keeps me motivated and always gives a true review on my work. If my boss likes my work then he will launch me as one of the designers of his company.

Finally, it’s time to show everyone that I am worthy of being a designer in India’s best Brand. It’s already 10 am and I was anxiously waiting outside my bosses office as he is in an important meeting. After twenty minutes he called me in. “I hope you’ll surprise me with your designs as I am looking forward to launching you as a designer,” my boss said with sincerity.

“Yes sir, I have been working on these designs for a long time. My designs are unique with beautiful colours, completely exploded with nature and modern world elements, formal to elegant casuals and stylish for all age group” I said with excitement as well as a hint of nervousness. Today is my real test as a professional and I am ready to prove myself because I have worked hard for this opportunity.

“I hope your work reflects more than what your words show,” he said in a plain manner slightly excited to see what is inside my file.

I hand it over to him and he examine every 10 designs with plain boring expression, it feels like an eternity. I was praying while crossing my fingers behind my back, I was a Nervous wreck who is waiting for any kind of response anxiously. 

Finally, deadly silence ended, unexpectedly my boss just hugs me in awe “ You are real Diamond for my company and get ready with more designs I will for sure launch you within Next week” my boss said with joy and excitement.

I was in shock and froze at my place god knows for how much time. 

“Let’s make you famous and get ready to make lots of money babe. I am officially Promoting you as a designer. And from now onwards well will include your design for every event and stars” he said still admiring my work.

“Thank you so much sir this is possible all because of your expertise and guidance” I thanked him as he is the one who hired me and guided me that one can find inspiration from anywhere.

“Sure Girl, So I guess it’s time for Announcement and celebration,” he said with a huge smile, ready for party and celebration. 

“Sir, thank you so much b....but, I...I need ha......half-day off for today and I promise you that, I...... I will work sincerely from tomorrow onwards” I said it with hesitation. I was nervous as I knew that he will go mad at me. 

For my surprise he gave me the remaining day off and told me “ I am happy with your work and I can sense that you have urgency, you can leave but remember to work hard with full dedication. It is a big fashion show for our company and you”.

I thanked him and leave the office at 12. I reached my apartment within Forty minutes where Moo was waiting for me. She was sitting on bed lost in her thoughts Nervously I told her that it’s time to go visit the police station. She looks calm but scared too as if she knew what was going to happen in the police station.

We Finally reached at the police station at 2 pm, One of my good friend from back to school Yash Ranjhiv works here as ahead of cybercrime team, he guided us throughout the case and procedure. When he saw us approaching him in his cabin he greeted us as I knew him since childhood, I can easily figure out by looking at him that yeah he doesn’t have good news for us and this made me anxious. 

Moo asked him clearly about the progress in the case. And being our friend he was feeling miserable as Ranjhiv told us that they need few more days to catch the culprit, They are working on some clues. It simply means that they don’t know yet who is responsible for this mess in Moo's Life.

Moo left police station when she got her answer But I stayed inside to talk to Ranjhiv. I was furious at him as he knew very well that how much it will affect everything in future. That Son of b***h threatened her on social media, how the hell that bastard can do something like that and live comfortably without any regret. Most of all, I am not feeling positive after all this, I feel like this is just the beginning as he mentioned in that threat. I burst out like a volcano, It seemed that my head would explode with anger. I warned Ranjhiv that I will kick his ass and break his every single bone if his team did not catch that jerk soon. I did that I know it sounds crazy, as he is the head in the police department but what else I suppose to do I love my bestie and I can do anything for her. I just want her to be safe. And because of my threat, Ranjhiv face looked pale like he saw a ghost in front of him. Actually, in my childhood, I used to beat boys and I also beat him black and blue in 6th standard maybe he still remember that.

I went outside where Moo was waiting for me. I can bet my face must be looking red because of anger. I simply compose my self and approach her with a smile. I was so engrossed in all these things that I forgot to give good news to her, Maybe after sharing this news we both feel a little bit better. So I thought I would take her to Famous expensive Restaurant to treat, as I want to thanks her for always supporting me and we both love good food it eases our stress and makes us happy. 

As soon as I took the name Celini - Grand Hyatt famous Italian restaurant. She started convincing me that we should not go there as that place is expensive for us and it will take 1 hour to reach there. We skipped our lunch, as we had to come here. And I was too hungry to argue about anything anymore. I get cranky whenever I feel that much hungry. 

I told her in a stern tone, We will go there only! , At least we both deserve good food after all this shitty news and I have to tell her that finally now I am officially a fashion designer. She agreed to go there as the growling sound from our tummy was clear enough to indicate how much Hungry we are.

As expected breath-taking place, decorated in a royal classy style which screams welcome wealthy people empty and gets ready to empty your pockets. As we entered my whole tension disappeared for a second god the person approaches us was god damn hot. It seems like he is the host as he is far more handsome to be a waiter. He was checking both of us out till the moment we entered here, licking his lips, smirking towards us. 

Finally, we ordered some well known most common Italian dishes. And I finally break the main news Infront of my bestie, that why I insisted her to come here as I wanted to Celebrate my first step towards success. She is the one who always there for me when everyone else whom I consider my friend or family left me, she helped me to find my inspiration. She motivates me to not only live to love my life and my work.

She never takes credit for anything which she has done for me and said that I achieved this because of my hard work and talent. but One thing she does not know that is She brought me back on the right track in my life and my career, I would have lost everything. May be even my life. Seeing her that much happy for me makes me feel proud of my self, she jumped off her seat in excitement which grabs everyone's attention towards us and I promise myself to design the best of best dress which can wear while attending my fashion show. 

After our meal and chit chat we left that place we enjoyed our space after a long time. And laughing on same dirty thoughts about host spice up everything, God we got his number but what’s the use of it, no more bad boys and distraction needed in our life.
