Chapter 54

Gautam's POV

There was a pin drop silence in that room. I could not believe what I heard. He said that to Maurvi?? That bloody bastard... I didn't know he could say such things.

I know what kind of a girl Maurvi was... She was suffering so much on her own and she was not telling me, because she knew that I would kill him.

I was so shocked to see her speak all these things. She cried like anything, whenever I asked her and today, right now she was as confident as a criminal lawyer.

Just then her phone started ringing. She picked up the phone, " Hi, Kshitij Jiju.... Oh ! ok, you are here in the hospital?... Is that friend of yours, is with you?..... Great Jiju, Thanks a lot..... I know that I don't have to thank you as I am just like your sister and you would do anything for me. Are you sure you can take care of this thing with the help of the proofs?....... Thank you so much. Can you just wait for five minutes? I will call you back. "

I kept looking at her... and exactly after five minutes she said, " So Dr Aakash... your five minutes are over. I hope you have thought about your career, your reputation and your family as well. As after my accusations against you, you are going to lose everything... So you have just two choices. First is that I file a complaint and you lose everything as I have proof and witnesses. We have nothing to lose as at the most people will talk about us for a few days, but with the help of proofs we will prove that you are guilty. Our parents will get us married a bit sooner. Well, we will be very happy about it and will be thankful to you. And the second option is that you confess in front of the hospital management that whatever you did was a mistake as you were under the influence of Bhang and that you are extremely sorry for what happened. It would never happen again."

She looked at him as if she was intimidating him. She was awesome. My hot chilli... My soft hearted Maurvi looked like a professional negotiator...

" So, please tell me, which option do you want? Hurry up we have to go somewhere and if you choose the first option I have to make some important calls. "

" I ch-choose the s-second option. I don't want to press any charges against them. I will apologize to you and him in front of the management."

He said in a low voice.

" Good choice... Now write your confessions and apology on a paper and give it to management in front of us. I promise there would be no charges against you. " She said in her extremely confident avatar and he just nodded.

He just wrote his confession and apology letter and signed it. I called Vikram on his phone. He came back rushing with Sid following him. I gave the letter to him. He read and was pleasantly surprised to see it. I told him to come with Aakash and me to give it to the management. We all went to settle the matter.

She called Kshitij and told him about the letter and thanked him again.

Maurvi, Sid and I came out of the hospital near our cars. Sid asked , " What happened? What was that letter? "

" Ask her... your sister... Sid I swear, she is something else. She looks like a nice, naive and gullible, simple damsel in distress. But she is actually a knight in the shining armour. You should have seen her the way she talked to him. Oh My God!!! Try never to get on her wrong side. That Aakash was shivering and stammering in the end. She was talking like a criminal lawyer. " Maurvi was smiling like anything.

" What? But you started crying today, when I asked you what happened." Sid looked confused. She just shook her head.

" You have the recording of that conversation ? Where? " I asked her. She smiles and touched her forehead and said, " Here.. "

" So you lied??? With so much confidence?? "

" Correction, Mr Doctor, I acted with so much confidence. I was acting, In fact, I had forgotten my phone at home that day. That is why, I was personally going to call both of them."

" Oh god bhai !!! Just never mess with this woman. You must be the best actress in the world, Maurvi. The best actress award goes to Maurvi.... " Sid said with a big grin and we all laughed.

" Let's go and have food, I am really hungry. " I said.

" No, I am going home, you both go for your date. I just want to go and sleep. "

" But it is lunch time, have lunch then go... " Maurvi said but he refused and went home.

We slid in my car and drove to a nice and quiet restaurant. It was one of my favourite one. She was about to get out of the car. When I caught her hand. She looked at me with surprise. I took her hand to my lips and kissed it. She smiled shyly and tried to get her hand out of mine but I didn't want to leave her hand.

" Maurvi you are looking very pretty today.. I think I am looking like your driver. " I just said that as I was wearing my work clothes which were very untidy now because of the fight with the Aakash. I did not want to cancel or postpone our date so I came like that only.

" Oh, please don't say so.. "

" Ok... Bodyguard ?? "

" What?? why are you saying so?"

" Right... you don't need a bodyguard. You can win a battle with just your acting skills. I was in awe today, while you were speaking. You are amazing, awesome, out of this world. " I said.

" I am sorry for not telling you anything. I was a bit embarrassed. " she said

" There is no need to be. I can understand now, how you must have felt at that time. "

" Did he really say all that crap?? " I asked and She just nodded.

" I would have killed him, if I had known..."

" That's why I didn't tell you... I didn't want you to go to prison." She smiled and I kissed her hand once again. Pink colour started creeping into her cheeks.

" Well... so it is our first real date. And you are looking awesome... Very beautiful... " I said and she looked at me and then looked downwards.

Is she the same girl, who was negotiating with Aakash just half an hour ago. She was so confident, while this girl is so shy... but I loved both.

" I have something for you... I got it for you on our first date... But couldn't give it to you then." I took out a small gift from my pocket and gave it to her. She took the small box hesitantly.

" You didn't have to buy me anything.."

" I wanted to buy it for you... " I said and asked her to open it. She opened it and gasped.

" Oh god!! These are the earrings which you bought from Mehul's showroom on inauguration ceremony... They are beautiful but are expensive. I can't take them. You shouldn't have... I mean, I could take something inexpensive but not this. "

" First of all these are not expensive... and secondly, I can gift, whatever I want to my girlfriend who is going to be mine for the rest of my life... Third thing is, I bought them for you, I would not look good wearing them... And the fourth thing is that I bought something inexpensive as well. You will have to take that as well. " I said and took out another gift from the glove box of the car and gave it to her.

" But that is not fair... "

" Everything is fair in love sweets. Now, be a good girl and take both of them otherwise I will convince you. " I said and

She laughed at that.

" And may I know, how will you do that. "

" Well leave that for now... or, you will convert into a tomato if I tell you how? " Hearing that she started blushing.

" But... I.. "

" Will you please be quiet and open this as well. " I said pointing towards the second gift. She slowly opened that and smiled. It was the bracelet which we bought along with earrings.

" You didn't have to, I mean, it's not right... "

" Nonsense... it is absolutely right to give gifts to your loved ones. Get used to of it... My tomato. " I took out that bracelet from the box and tied it on her wrist. It looked cute on her hand... I took the box of earning and put it in her bag as she was already wearing another pair. We both entered the restaurant with our hands tied together.
