Noor.

I have no idea if I should feel sad that he doesn't care about me or I should feel proud for the fact that he still respects woman and had a soft heart for them , because what all I did with him usually breaks a person from inside out .

And he is broken because of you girl !!

Shut up brain , can you stop not stop this torture!!!

Oh sorry!! 😑

While I was trying to get my head off Arjun and concentrate on my work , I received vikram Bhai's message .

" when are you going to get free? Just call when you get time ."

I quickly called him as soon as I revived  the message ,

" yes Bhai , you needed me for something ? "

" noor , we have to make a deal with sharmas , you know them naa , the business players in textile industries ."

" yes Bhai, I know , who don't know them!! They are cunning as well as rich brats . They basically run the market ."

" exactly noor, that's what I am saying , so just go , make a deal with them and grab the offer as you know if you can not win , either make the other person loose or atleast try to gets to their position . We cannot afford to have them as rivals ."

" yes , brother.  I will go today my self.  "

We hung up , but I could still feel some tension in his voice , it feels like he is trying to hide something from me .

I called up Arjun,

" yes ma'am, you need anything ."

" yes, make sure that I get appointment with sharma group of textiles. " he nodded and said , " anything else ma'am?"

" yes make sure that meeting get fix today itself.  "

" ohk ma'am.  " with that he returned to his cabin .

After 30 minutes .

" what are the updates Arjun?"

" ma'am as you said , the meeting is fixed with them at 4 pm which is exactly after 30 min. "

Ohk , I thought .

" wait , what you said? After 30 min.!!?? What the hell are we  doing here let's go ."

He passed me a smile and opened door for me and soon we were riding the car .

Their was an eerie silence .

I hate being quite or told to shut up . But this was a complete scenario, I had nothing to talk about .

Arjun kept looking outside the window,

" Arjun the accommodation, that company provides you , will be given to you in till this Sunday. "

" thank you ma'am. "

I nodded back and he again started to look outside the window .

Can he not talk with me !!

Can he not ignore me .!!

My thoughts were interrupted by his phone ring ,

Lifeline calling ....!!

" hello " he said in a sweet voice which displaced love and affection. 

He was waiting as the other person was saying something .

" please give phone to her. "

After a second pause , be again begin to speak ,

" why are you not having food ? I told you yesterday , that I would be late today . "

He waited for the reply ,

" yes , yes , we will go for dinner out . Yes I will bring chocolates. Now promise me to have  your food. "

" bye , I will be home soon ."

And he cut the call and saying I was jealous would be an understatement. 

Who the hell was she !!!

" who was she ?" I asked in a stern voice , showing my complete anger and jealously. 

" it's none of your business. " he said in the same tone as mine .

I parked the car at a road corner ,

" you know what Arjun khanna !! It is my business, it is my business and right to know who is that girl !! Who is lifeline !! You know why , !! Because you are my business. " I shouted at him but this was something , I realised after looking at his face .

He was quite for few seconds and some tears rolled down my eyes ,

" she is someone who trust me , believe in me and is honest with me ."

With that he again started to look outside the window . He never physically touched me but he slaps me daily with his words.

********
