Saachi

I entered the building. It's been so long since I have been here. People bowed their heads in front of me which I felt really uncomfortable.

I got inside the lift and waited for it to reach the top floor.

I was so tired of studying the whole day. Kabir was out on some educational trip and Rudra was having his nap at the moment. 

I found Pitaji's new secretary coming out of his cabin and sighed. So this is the woman because of whom my parents are fighting. I looked at her from top to bottom. Nobody hurts my mother and comes between my parents.

She was smiling stupidly keeping her hand on her heart.

Soon her eyes fall on me as she gave me this big smile.

"Princess Saachi", She called with a sugar-coated voice. She talked so rudely with my mother and is now trying to impress me.

I narrowed my eyes at her as she gulped.

"Why are you smiling like this? Is there some circus going on here?", I asked her as she shook her head immediately.

"Am I looking funny here?", I asked her as she shook her head again.

"It's not like that, Princess", She tried to justify.

"Then tell me how it is", I asked her.

"You are the daughter of my employer and the princess of this estate. I respect you a lot", She said looking at me with puppy eyes. 

"My mother is the wife of the employer, also the queen of this estate. You need to respect her as well otherwise you know what she does", I asked her as she frowned before shaking her head.

"She loses her temper easily and can punch you right on your nose. She is having the potential to break your nose. Even Pitaji can't stop her when she is angry. Just think how much angry she gets if the king himself is unable to control her", I told her in a fake scary voice and then gulped.

I looked at her to find her eyes widened.

 "Rightly said, Saachi", I heard Ma as I turned to find her glaring at the girl.

"Ma, You here", I asked her as she nodded still looking at the girl.

"I wanted to see this stupid man who is getting on my nerves these days and my hands are also itching to show somebody their place", She said rubbing her hands.

"I have some work to do", The poor girl said before running to her cabin.

"I will kill this man today", Ma said pushing the door open as it opened with a thud.

"What the?", I heard Pitaji as Ma marched inside.

"Why do you want me to kill somebody at this age?", Ma asked glaring at him.

"What is wrong?", he asked looking back at me.

"I want that girl gone", Ma said as he frowned.

"Which girl?", He asked as Ma motioned him to stand up. He sighed before getting up.

She was pinning him with her glare before taking his seat and motioning him to sit in front of her.

She checked his work table checking his documents as I sat beside him.

"What happened now?", I asked him. He just shook his head checking his phone now.

"Am I this boring now that you can't even look at me, Mr. Ekansh Pratap Singh?", Ma said looking at him. If she is calling him by his name, it means Pitaji is in trouble.

"Aadya, Saachi is here. At least control your emotions now", Pitaji said as Ma glared at him.

 "She is my daughter. She knows I am right here. Isn't it baby?", She asked still looking at Pitaji as I gulped before nodding.

"See", She said gritting at him.

"That girl is good in her work", Pitaji said as she nodded still glaring at him.

"You can give her some other position or this thought never came in your mind. I am telling you very clearly Rana Sa, If I started getting on your nerves na you would regret your decision. Don't forget what I am capable of doing", Ma said but Pitaji didn't say anything.

"You are seeing this right Saachi. This man sitting in front of me is not even answering me. This is what happens when you stay married to a man for a longer time. They lose their interest in you. This love thing is only limited till the time you are young", She said as I looked at Pitaji who was fisting his hands glaring at his phone.

"Saachi, why don't you go home? Rudra must have woken up", Pitaji said as I nodded.

"She is with Ma. You don't have to worry", Ma said as I looked at her.

"Princess", Pitaji said still looking at Ma as I nodded before getting out of the cabin. 

Now, what will I do? I am so bored.

My phone started ringing. I sighed before looking at the caller id. Somehow what Ma said was echoing in my mind.

I declined the call. I am going to sleep for some time. I don't want to talk to anyone, especially to my man.

Author's Pov

He kept his phone aside before looking at his wife who was glaring at her.

He stood up from his place as she stood up from her place feeling scared of his silence ready to run away at any moment.

"Why are you looking this scared, My love?", He asked walking near her. She moved to the other side glaring at him.

"I am not scared of you", She said in a confident voice as he raised his eyebrows at her.

"You are not?", He asked as she nodded when the door was knocked.

She looked at the door before huffing and opening the door. The same girl was standing there.

"Sir, your meeting?", She said looking at Ekansh.

"Cancel it", he said as she frowned before looking at Aadya who was ready to pounce on her.

"But sir", She started when Aadya glared at her.

"I said cancel it", He said in his coldest tone which made her shiver and leaves.

"Idiot", Aadya said looking at her leaving figure.

"Go home", Ekansh told her as she turned to him which made her grit.

"Hmm", She said taking her things and moving to the exit.

"I said go home, not to your parents' place", He said as she didn't listen to him.

"I would do what I wanna do. Do whatever you wanna do? I am fed up with your stupid behavior", She said as he sighed before pulling her inside closing the door behind her.

"Listen what am I saying to you", He said as she hit his shoulders trying to get away from him.

"Don't touch me", She said glaring at me.

"Why don't you show this side of yours in front of your kids?", She asked him but he didn't answer.

"Stupid, idiot, Controlling Husband", She shouted at him as he continued looking at her.

"Why are you staring at me? You can not even listen to me. I wanted nothing but her away from you but you are not even ready to do that. You didn't even allow me to work after marriage and I listen to you", She said.

"You yourself never wanted to work because you felt burdened. I had nothing to do in that thing", He stated as she glared at him.

"You can't even take a single blame on yourself", She told him as he raised his eyebrows at her.

"When will you grow up?", He asked her as she pushed him away from her.

"I have three kids what do you think I am?", She asked him.

"I don't know. Still trying to solve that puzzle. The only question I couldn't answer", He said. His forehead touching hers as she closed her eyes feeling his proximity.

She controlled her emotions before pushing him away but he was holding her wrists knowing her next actions very well.

"You don't talk to me. I won't talk to you ever. You never listen to me. You should trust a woman's intuition", She told him.

"Or you are enjoying attentions. Oh right, you are enjoying these kinds of these", She told him as she pushed him away with all her might and he finally left her.

"You can think what you want to think", He said as she glared at him.

"I do understand that you don't like to speak much but you behaving like this? It's highly unacceptable", She told him walking out of the room.

"And I am going back to my parents' place. Do whatever you wanna do I am not scared of you", She told him poking her tongue at him.

"Go wherever you wanna go. I am coming in half an hour and will talk to you there only. Don't blame me that I didn't warn you beforehand", He told her as she clenched her fists looking at him before going.

"Why didn't you go, sir?", His so-called secretary asked him as he looked at her with a cold look.

"You would be reporting to Raghav Shekhawat, the head of the administration department", He said picking up his jacket.

She was about to say something in denial when he left the cabin without giving her time to speak.

She sighed before gritting cursing Aadya in her mind but she couldn't really do anything.

Nobody can deny the fact that Ekansh Pratap Singh was handsome as well at this age when he is having a daughter a few years younger than her.

At least she was having her job.
