Chapter 1: The Apology
RUDRA POV:
THE SILENCE THAT ECHOED IN MY HEART….
WAS SO DISASTRAOUS THAT IT
CREATED AN NEVER ENDING CHAOS AND MESS INSIDE MY HEART….
AND THEN I WAS LEFT WITH A SCAR THAT COULD NEVER BE HEALED…..
My life is a void space similar like a blackhole in universe . I'm powerful rich but my life is full of darkness. The thick blood of revenge is flowing in my nerves . I am holding firmly on my dreams of taking my company to heights .
I was currently sitting in a meeting room zoned out in my own thoughts . My concentration was dragged back to ppt when my business partner (my best friend ) pointed out some mistake in ppt.
The employ seemed quite nervous , I immediately snaped out of conference room saying that's all for today . I don't want any such mistakes anymore so try to be the better version of yourselves .
I entered my cabin and sat on my chair behind the glass desk full of scattered files. I leaned my head backward on my chair and went into deep thoughts. With a clink of door Atharva (my best friend and also my business partner ) entered my cabin and sat in chair on opposite side of the table.
With a straight face he asked , are you thinking about what aai (they used to call their grandmaa aai) said last night ?
i replied "maybe probably"
he smirked you can just meet her for once , and I too think aai was right how long are you gonna live like this. Years passed and you are still stucked somewhere 20 years ago. What if just one decision could change the way you live the way your life is . And our company is also growing rapidly so now you can focus on your personal life , aai ,appa(they used to call their granddad appa) and us . We are your family . Trust me we need you more than you think. we all want you smile as you used to.
I took a deep sigh and said ,"are you sent by aai to convince me , and trust me I am partially convinced ". But I too have my own conditions . I don't want too marry so better you go and explain my side too aai.
Atharva smiled and said see I'm not your lawyer. so better you should propose your conditions to aai. And call me too when you'll do so it will be fun watching .
i said ," you bastard" I knew you were never my side.
Atharva said and I'll never be . I love my aai.
Replying him I said ,"so why don't you go and meet , whoever aai wants".
He said because aai selected her exclusively for you and you know I'm in love with someone.
Obviously I know infact everyone in family knows about your one sided love . But you are smart enough to hide her name . Infact you have not even told me about it..
"you'll definately kill me once you'll know" he muttered under his breath.
I said what ??
he said no nothing and he passed a mischevious smile.
...........................AT EVENING............................
When we reached home aai and appa was sitting on the comfortable sofa in hall and Navya(my younger sister) was standing behind them. I sat on the couch faceing them , the situation was giving an intense full dramatic vibe. Atharva sat beside me understanding the intensity of situation.
Aai said "Atharva what time it is?"
Atharva replied its half past 10 (10:30)
Then she looked at me with a strict and angry look on her face. I asked you to be back till 7 in evening . You know how embarrassing it was she came with her parents and left . What she or her parents might be thinking of you . You are still a stubborn as you were before do you even care for our words or your appa's reputation in this circle.
My head was bowed as she scolding me. with cracking and shaking voice.
Appa jumped between the conversation and said Mrinalini jii , just calm down and let me talk to him.
Then appa looked at me , (I could hear Atharva's silent giggle under his breath) and he said ,"I haven't expected such carelessness from you . I and your aai are so disappointed. Do you even know who she is ? , you just decided to not to come . You coud have just thought about aai or my words weight."
Then he looked to Atharva and said ," You could have convinced him, But you both are out of our hands now. "
Atharva tried to explain but it was of no use. As aai was so angry and so was appa and even Navya.
After a long hour lecture session we both were left to starve as punishment . And aai , appa along with Navya all went to their respective rooms. I and Atharva was left alone in the hall.
Atharva looked at me and said , because of you I am starving too. I looked at him smiled and said afterall you are my bessttt friieeend my brother you are equally shared partner.
Atharva looked at me with dramatic disgust and then we both laughed together.
appa and aai was looking them from a distance from dark corners. Appa said nearly hissing to aai that ,"look at them who'll say they are grown now". Then aai said ,"I want them to always smile and be happy as they are now".
....................... NEXT MORNING ............................
Breakfast table used too be buzz in mansion ,as Navya used to be in great hurry for her Fashion Institute , Rudra and Atharva used to be busy with their calls and usually discussing about some projects.
But this morning it was all silent as consequences of last night event . As aai and appa joined the breakfast table aunt Maria (their cook and caretaker ) began serving the breakfast. As she left Rudra said ,"Appa I'm really sorrry for what I have done, I became a bit stubborn, but it's the reality I don't want to be married ".
Aai said last night long lecture laid no impact on you I guess. Atharva now it's your responsibility to convince him .
Atharva shooked his head in a big no. Aai its literally like punching a rock. I think you should just send him to her address with apology .
Aai said great idea passing Atharva a flying kiss. meanwhile Rudra was staring at him with a nasty look in his eyes .
As aai noticed Rudra's eye she holded his ears and pulled it , Rudra groans in pain. Aai please leave me , then Rudra got a brilliant idea and he said without hesitating , aai not just me you should send Atharva on a blind date too. As we all know his one sided love is of no use , and he should be settled too . what do you think aai ?
Aai looked at appa and they had a silent eye agreement then she snaped ears of Atharva too and said either you tell me whom you love so I could send your marrige proposal or, you go on blind dates as I will recommend.
Atharva looked at Navya as their eyes met she blushed and ran too her room pretending too get something that she forgot.
So on decision that Rudra will go meet and apologize the girl form last evening . And Rudra will be going to blind dates they set off their house . On mid way to office Atharva said nobody should know that CEO's of a 7 star company are beaten at home and kept too starve as punishment .
On hearing him Rudra too laughed with him while focusing on Staring wheel ..
