Chapter 70

Mohit's POV

I reached home and was welcomed by a dark and damp home. It made my mood even darker. I threw my things on the couch and went to my room.

I was irritated as hell. I wanted her here with me in my house, my life and my arms. I had never felt possessive or jealous over anything. I thought that I was not capable of feeling that emotion.

But today I had gone mad with jealousy. I wanted to fire every man in my office. I threw Kabir and Wasim out of the office literally and wanted to punch Harry for being so friendly with her.

I knew that Sahil was absolutely crazy about Manu, still, I doubted him. I was jealous as hell when I thought that they were close.

Now I realise, how Sahil must have felt when he came to my office for the first time. He must have planned to kill me for being so close to Manu.

I am sorry Sahil...

I could not let her go with anyone else. She is mine... Mine alone.

I was going mad with the intensity I was feeling a new kind of emotions for her. I was sure, I love her.

Yes, I love her. That could be the reason for my being so restless.

I started watching a random movie to kill time till I could sleep but all that ever came to my mind was my paper bride.

I wanted her as my real wife in every sense. I would tell everyone that she was my wife.

Would she have me as a real husband? I hope she would accept me and make me the happiest man in the world.

Just then the phone rang again. I would kill Robin if he was calling. But it was Maya.

" Yes, Maya?? "

" Is that how you greet your elder sister?? "

" See, I am not in a mood for all this. Tell me what is it?? "

" Nothing !! I wanted to call you for dinner."

" No... I don't want anything. "

" Let it be, Mohit. She didn't mean to say it like that. She was concerned about you. "

" Still... I don't want to. I would not die if I would not eat. "

" Why are you saying like that?? Come over. "

" No, I would manage..." I said and disconnected the call. I don't know why I was so annoyed.

You are burning with jealousy. God bless Harry now.... My soul replied.



Srusti's POV

I got ready and saw that Di and Jiju were sitting at the dining table.

" Have breakfast and then I will drop you at your office. " Maya di said.

" Di, please... You don't need to go so much out of your way. I will take the cab. "

" No argument, either take a lift from one of us or your irritating husband. " Maya di said.

" Hey, I have to go that way only, I would drop you. " Jiju said and

Finally, he dropped me there.

I had cooked and packed the breakfast and lunch for him as well.

I gave his lunch to the helper telling him it was from Mohit sir.

Harry saw me and came to me.

After we greeted each other he said, "I am sorry for yesterday. I should not have interfered between you and sir. I realised later that you were having the same food in your lunch box which was sent to him. "

" That's because I cook for him... "

" Oh !! Is it??? "

" Yeah !! You are an awesome cook. Sir is very lucky. "

" He doesn't want my food. "

" If he decides not to eat the food, can I eat it? It reminds me of the food prepared by my mom. "

" Yes, of course... By all means. "

" Thanks a lot. " He smiled at me.

Just then Mohit walked in. He seemed to be a bit tired and weak. He glared at us and called Harry to his cabin.

Why is he so irritated all the time??



Mohit's POV

I got ready and went to my studio without eating anything. The lady who cleaned my penthouse offered to make morning tea d breakfast for me. But I could not think of eating it so I refused it.

I saw Harry smiling at Srusti and she returned the favour. What was wrong with everyone?? Why was everyone around her, trying to flirt with her??

" Harry, in my cabin, right now !!! " I said and walked away. He followed me immediately.

" Good morning, sir"

" Yeah... Morning, have you altered the designs?? "

" Er... I will do it right now, Sir."

" The designs, which Mr Roy's family selected, are finished ?? "

" They would be finished by lunch, sir."

" It seems you did not do anything yesterday. Were you on leave? "

" No sir, I was busy helping... "

" You were busy flirting with the new assistant. "

" No sir!!! Setting up the nursery... "

" It is not a part of your job. Is it?? Does your job responsibilities include helping in setting up a nursery ??

" Sir, but you... asked me... to prepare a room for a nursery. "

" Yeah, prepare a room for a nursery. Not decorate the room as a nursery. Manu has 2 assistants for her. They can do it. But you wanted to be around the assistants, I guess. "

" No sir... "

" Tell me, if offering lift to fellow workers, is one of your job responsibilities ?? "

" No sir, but I was just trying to help her. " Harry said

" There is no need to help her. Do some work. I don't give you money to flirt with girls. "

" Yes sir... "

" Order some food for me. " I said but he just gulped.

" What happened?? Did the cat got your tongue now ?? "

" Sir, Srusti just... "

Srusti??? How dare he??

" Srusti?? So you are friendly enough to call her by name? So is that you were doing yesterday?? "

" No sir, umm... Ms Mehra brought your breakfast and lunch. Shall I serve that?? "

" Did she ?? Er... No. Order something else. "

" Ok, sir... " He went out to order my food.

So she brought the food for me, I wanted to eat it like anything. But I can't. I was very hungry and wanted to eat the food. But I had to prove a point.

I was thinking all this when there was a knock on the door. I saw her standing there with a tray in her hand.

" Come in !! "

She placed the food on the table.

Oh, God!! It was a stuffed paneer parantha with pickle and a small blister pack of butter. My mouth started watering.

" What is this?? "

" What do you think it is?? "

" Why is it here?? "

" Why do you think, it is here?? "

" What do you want, Srusti?? "

" What do you think, I want, sir? "

" Don't irritate me. "

" Oh, I want to say the same. Just eat it. I know you are hungry. "

" So what?? I don't want to eat this. "

" So what do you want?? "

" I want you... "

" What ?? "

" I want you... to understand that I was not asking you to stay with me because I wanted your food. I wanted you to be with me as I consider you my friend and I liked you staying with me. "

" But it is my job responsibility to make food for you. "

" You are not my employee... You are my friend. "

" Thanks, but I don't want to be such a friend whom you can't even introduce as a friend. So I am better off as a cook only. "

" I told you, I could not do it... "

" I know, you are hungry, please have it, sir. "

Sir??

" I don't want you just as a cook, so I don't want this food. "

" Are you sure you don't want this food? "

" Yeah !! " I said. Just then Harry came with a helper who was carrying my breakfast.

He placed it next to what she just brought. Harry had ordered the English breakfast, I used to order. I didn't want it.

" Harry Ji!! Sir, doesn't want the home-cooked breakfast. So would you like to eat it? "

Harry Ji ?? Why can't she call me Mohit Ji?? Why him?? He would eat my breakfast?? No way!!!

" Ji ?? "

" Since sir doesn't want this breakfast, you can have it. I don't want to waste it. Please take it. " She picked up the plate and placed it on his hands.

He gulped and nodded and was about to go out.

" Wait !! Keep that plate here. Pick up this breakfast you ordered just now and leave. "

" Ok sir, what do I do with the breakfast I just ordered? "

" Eat it, have you suddenly gone dimwit? " I said and dismissed him. He picked up the food and went away. She was also going out but I stopped her.

" So You will come back to the penthouse with me now?? "

" Let's see... " She said and went out.

Please do come back...
