Their Infinity

Chapter 17

Abhay's POV:

          I reached the Hotel and came out. But Ananya had still not reached. I was scared a bit. I don't know why i cared about her. At that time, an idea struck in my mind. I told my driver to go and get my convertible car. I hoped this would solve her problem. But why did I want to solve her problem. Why was she affecting me. I have to get a grip on my thoughts. When I was thinking all this, she arrived. I took a sigh of relief. Without telling her anything I moved inside towards our table.

         Mr. Singh and his son, Veer were already waiting for us. Mr. Singh and dad were always on good terms. But I and veer were not that comfortable working together. We had come here to negotiate about a project that we were working together on. When we sat on the table, I saw Veer gawking at Ananya. I so wanted to rip his eyes off. And then his father asked about Ananya. I told them clearly that she is MY personal assistant specifying on the word my. And then Veer opened his mouth to speak some nonsense and he winked at Ananya. ' How dare he do that? I swear to God it took everything in me to control myself from ripping him apart. Ananya looked slightly uncomfortable. I was glad that she was not trying to lead him.' 

        Then, we discussed the project and Mr. Singh asked Ananya if she wanted to add something. She looked at me like asking for permission.  I nodded my head and she told some points.  Mr Singh was really very impressed. Even, I liked the points. ' You are already mesmerized by her', my brain said. Then, the food came. They had ordered some non veg food. While the food was being served, Ananya looked uncomfortable. The next moment she excused herself. I was tensed but I didn't show it. After she left,  Veer asked me, "Hey man, I think I like Ananya. I would like to take her out sometime. Can you give her a day off or something because I know you treat your employees strictly." That b***tard, he was trying to take away what was mine. I couldn't show him that she was mine but I had to do something. I said smiling, " That's good to hear Veer but sorry to disappoint you she already has a boyfriend." "s**t man, who is the lucky guy?" Before I could say something, Ananya returned and we stopped talking.  

         She looked pale and really uncomfortable. Mr. Singh asked her why she was not eating food. She told that she doesn't eat non veg. Oh God, this girl has like million problems. But I want to solve them all. I received a call from home and I excused myself to answer it. 

        " Hello Dad, are you okay?. Is there any problem? Do I need to come home?"

         "I am fine Abhay. I just wanted to inform you that your mother and sister are coming today back from London. Can you please go to pick them up from airport?"

          "Sure dad. Is that even a question. You know how much I love Puchki.  Don't worry I will go there on time."

           My biological mom died when I was 5 years old. After mom died, dad remarried so that I could get motherly love.  My step mom didn't love me that much but she took good care of my dad.  So I didn't say anything.  She gave birth to Shanaya. I lovingly called her Puchki. She was my life. I can do anything for her. They had gone to London on a vacation. Today they are coming back at 9 pm. I was so happy I would see Puchki after 15 long days.

         After keeping the call I was going towards our table when I heard Veer offering job to Ananya. That piece of s**t man, how dare he do that. I hope Ananya doesn't agree. 'But why wouldn't she agree? You have given her nothing but hatred. I am sure she will take the job offer', my brain said. I was waiting to listen to her answer. And her answer just shocked me. She not only rejected the job offer but also defended me in front of the father-son duo. My heart did a slight victory dance. I decided then and there that I would do something special for her. So I moved towards the table and told them that I had an urgent meeting and have to excuse myself. Ananya also didn't ask anything but followed me. After reaching at the gate she asked about the imaginary meeting. And as always, I didn't give her a straight answer and we ended up having a small fight . That time my driver  came with the convertible car and I went in the driver's seat and opened the roof. The look that she had on her face was amusing.  I teased her a bit and told her to come and sit inside.

         She sat inside and started crying. ' Omg, not again.Does she save all the tears for me only. Other wise I have seen her all talking nicely with others. Do I make her that sad?'. I told her not to cry and we could find another solution if she felt uncomfortable. She said that they were tears of happiness and that she was feeling overwhelmed.  I was happy to hear that but I still didn't want her to cry.  I could do anything to make her smile. Then,  I started the car and then realized that she had not put her seat belt. I unbuckled my seat belt and went towards her to tie it. She smelled so good. A combination of lavender and coconut. I so wanted to be in this position forever. ' No no, what am I even thinking.'  And then I took the car towards an unknown destination.
