Gauravi Maheshwari

POV

I parked my Hyundai Creta outside the Charity gala event and come out of it with ishita by my side.

I'm wearing a White Anarkali with the dupatta pinned on my one side along with my junky Jumkas which I'm obsessed with, while my makeup includes just a winked eyeliner which is my go to with it I used my lip tint on my lips and cheeks both.

We entered in the event after showing our invitation passes, as I'm going to be awarded for my work in Women Empowerment and helping the disabled communities physically and mentally both.

"I heard the king is going to attend the event gauri, I'm soo excited to see him" ishita said glancing around.

"Well, I'm hear to meet the potential investors who can help me with the school, I'm not interested in the king" I replied a little cockily.

"You are saying this cause you didn't seen him yet. He is the most eligible bachelor of our country brooo."

"He is not a bachelor by choice, he is a bachelor because of his attitude. He is heartless,rude,very entitled and much more I heard about him."

"Gauri you don't even know him, don't judge a book by its cover okk".

"Madam there is something called word of mouth." I said and filp my hair while taking a glass of coke from the waiter passing by.

"Fine think what you want" ishi huffed sitting on our table.

We were just chatting but suddenly there is a shift in the air. I turned the around to look what is happening as everyone is rushing towards the hall entrance.

I saw people are greeting someone and some try to initiate talk to the man but he is surrounded by the human chain of bodyguards and I couldn't even see his face.

I turn around again and focus on my drink.

Hoga kisi ameer baap ki aulad.

The award ceremony got done shortly with some speeches by influential people present in the room. Everyone started to move towards the banquet hall on the 5th floor of the building for the after party.

Ishita was getting late so she left the party after seeing me getting the award but I'm still here so I could talk to some investors for my school project.

I'm standing in the corner thinking who should I approach, then suddenly a man came to me "Hey there, I'm seeing for quite a while now you're standing here alone".

"Ahh..no i was just talking to my friend on a call"

"Well I'm Vivek Raut, I'm sure you know me" he says with a weird smile.

I just laughed a little "Yeah, ofcourse Mr. Raut".

"I got a drink for this gorgeous lady by the way" and passed me a glass of champagne and say "If you want my help in anything you can tell me".

"Sorry but i don't drink and its really thoughtful of you say that to me" I said keeping a straight line smile on my face "I'm building a school for disabled children and I will be very grateful if you want to invest, I know it's not a profitable project but it will help a lot if children to get the required education so they can lead there future well".

"Ohh sure sure, I believe in charity. I do it all the time" he says while coming closer to me.

"I don't want any profit but if you can come to my room tonight, I'll be very pleased" he says while trying to touch my cheek.

I moved backward suddenly "what rubbish are you speaking" I growls lowly and move away from him but he hold my wrist.

"What're you doing? Leave. My. Hand. Right. Now" I yelled on his face " come on, no one gonna help you for free and my fee is just one night, stop showing these tantrums".

I gritted my teeth "keep your help to yourself, asshole" and I slapped him hard that the people around us and walking by stopped.

"I'm sure you've got your fee if not feel free to tell me I would love to give you more"I walked from there.

"I feel like ripping his hair from his head. How dare he to talk to me like that, bastard" I says while walking like a storm not looking in front of me and suddenly I get hit by a truck, my head spins and I was falling down but I didn't.

Yeh kya hua, main beech lobby me truck se kaise lad gayi, bhagwan ji aap hamesha kyu krte ho mere saath ye, Ahh mumma bahut dard ho rha but ek min-----

Suddenly I felt the pain is not the hit from truck and it's reducing and I feel someone is shaking me. I try to open my eyes a little and saw a man holding me.

"Miss, can you hear me, Miss wake up. Mr. Birla call the doctor" that man said to some birla in his Damon Salvatore type voice.

I think I've gone mad what I'm thinking, I opened my eyes fully and stand straight up suddenly "don't touch me, jaha ladki Dekhi nahi wahi shuru ho jaate ho tum log, shameless" I say literally shouting on him.

When I looked at his face clearly i was awestruck. He looks like a model came to walk on run way, his height ohh god i look like a minion in front of him. when i looked up and our eyes met it's felt like i was looking into a green and blue ocean, yeah his both eyes are of different colours hazel green and midnight blue but then i saw his whole face and it was like looking at a stone sculpture without any expression. He was standing calmly like very calmly looking at me like I'm talking to some wall and not a man.

How can someone be so expressionless

"Miss are you alright, are you hurt anywhere" he asks me very politely and I stare him with my mouth agape a little. I just shouted at him even though he helped (im going to accept it) and he's didn't even said anything.

"You don't have to worry mister" I says with a little arrogance and walked away.

After coming outside and sitting inside my car i closed the window, and screamed "Why did I took out the anger of that bastard on him, i didn't even said thanks nor sorry, Ahh why I can’t control my mouth".

"Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Gauravi"

Its okay its not like I'm gonna meet him again. Sorry god from next time i will try to keep My mouth shut.
