Abhay's POV:
We reached home. I took dad to his room and asked him to take care of himself. I got a call from one of my hotels that they were having some issues. I told them to solve it on their own but they said that it was urgent. With a grumpy face I told the deiver to take me to the restaurant. I invest in many hotels. This is one of the famous hotels and it attracts many vips. I reached there and talked to the manager. There were issues regarding some supplies. It took me an hour to sort out everything.
After finishing all this, I was really very tired and just wanted to go jome. I told the driver to take me home. I tried to have a nap in the car when all of a sudden the driver hit the brakes and I was awakened. I asked him what had happened. “ Sir, there is a girl who came in front of the car" he said. “ Go and check and please do fast. I want to go home" I told him authoratively. After some time he came and sat inside. I asked him what happened. He replied, “ Sir, the girl was being chased by some goons and she was running and came in front of our car. Which girl from a good house would roam on the road at this time of the night. We should just leave sir". I felt uneasy at his words.
As we moved past her, I saw her face. It was her. She looked pretty in that blue dress but she was scared, nothing like the feisty girl who back answered me in the morning. I don't know why but I was attracted to her. When I looked ahead, there were those hooligans approaching towards her. I couldn't take it any more. I asked the driver to stop and moved out of the car. I hurried towards those goons and gave them nice bashing. All of them ran away.
I asked her whether she was fine. She looked lost and hurt. I gave my hand to her. She got up with very much difficulty. I think she sprained her leg. She couldn't walk. So I told her that I will drop her. And then she gave this absurd reason that she is scared of cars. I couldn't believe her and started laughing. She was taken aback. She explained me her fear and told me to find an auto for her. I told her that we could drive according to her comfort. At first she agreed but as we came close to the car she started sobbing . I had never comforted a crying girl. I didn't know what to do. At that very moment an auto came. I thanked my stars because I didn’t know what to do at all. My drivwr stoped the auto. The driver didn't look like a decent man. So I also hopped in the auto. I don't know why I did that. I told my driver to follow the auto. She told me that she would go alone but I just shushed her.
I asked her what she was doing here at this moment of time and she explained everything. She had very irresponsible friends who left her all alone at this time of the night. I didn't know what to tell her further, and to divert my mind, I removed my phone from my pocket. While doing that, the anklet which I had kept in my pocket fell down. Surprisingly it was hers. She had saved my dad. And then she started telling how I don't resemble my dad at all and I was really pissed. 'What does she even know about me to judge me. I wanted to shout at her but my phone rang.' It was my secretary's call. She told me that Ananya had neither picked the call nor called back. 'What a psychotic girl was she. She didn't pick up a call from my office. Does she even know how prestigious an offer it is to be associated with my company.' Holding back all these thoughts I asked her the reason of not picking up. She gave a lame reason.
Finally, her house came. We got down and I paid. Chivalry is not dead yet! She invited me in but I refused. I don't like invading people's privacy. She said good bye and I just hmmed. I don't know why I felt uneasy when she was going. Brushing all these uneasiness, I sat in the car and told the driver to drive home. On the way back I called my secretary and told her to call Ananya again. I had these thoughts of taking revenge from her but after knowing that she saved my dad, I was going to go easy on her. Let's see, what the future awaits for us.
