Something in You Calls Me (Complete)

Chap_17. No Good

Arnav's POV...

Seeing her at the reception desk, I got stopped. The little bit of hope was already starting to fade away. The receptionist girl was about to block her but then she caught my sight. When I gestured her to let her go, she directed her to the conference room.

She rushed there but I stood still for a while.

After a while, I entered the conference room and took a seat at a corner with many thoughts running in my mind. I got out of my trance when I heard her voice.

Seeing her in front of the projector, presenting her plan skillfully, I just kept staring at her. There was something on her face that I had never seen earlier but it couldn't convince me about her claiming that she was not Khushi but someone else.

I again got lost in my thought. I knew it would make more sense that she was Khushi if she hadn't shown up here for this meeting today. But she did.

But I still couldn't help thinking otherwise than her being my girl. Zayan, my PA stood there. He was also shocked seeing her. It was clear on his face.

After the presentation when everyone got out, Vai got near me.

"Apart from the matter, I liked her plan the most. So what about going on with her company? We will get some time with her to know the truth also."

I nodded at Vai and left the conference room and walked out of the office building. Thoughtlessly I got walking by the road.

After some time I turned to the way to my office and saw her walking towards me. She seemed to be in deep thought as she just walked past me without even noticing even when I called her twice by name the Khushi though.

I mean there was no way I would call her by some other name.

Involuntarily I got following her and when she was about to fall, I got hold of her hand immediately.

When she spoke up about Khushi being dead, I responded coldly. Out of all the lines, I hated it the most.

Keeping silent for some moments, I turned to her hearing the sound of the lightning. The surrounding was also getting dark. She looked to be somewhat afraid.

Giving it a thought, I walked towards my office building immediately to get my car.

....Author's POV....

What's with the taxies today! Why I am not being able to get a single one!

Maya thought and felt frustrated at this.

Getting one coming towards her direction, she raised her hand hopefully and was about to wave again but when she saw it was a private car, she got her hand down letting out a sigh.

But making her confused, the car got stopped by her and Arnav got out of it. Maya gave him a confused look.

Arnav got uttering calmly, "You won't be able to get a taxi in this weather now. Get in. I will drop you."

Whatever he said is nothing but the truth only but what should I do?

Thinking this, she looked for a taxi but nothing like that got into her sight.

Seeing her like that, Arnav got uttering frustratedly, "Aren't you going to get in?"

Maya turned to him and with the look on his face, she couldn't get to say something. Right then another lightning sound got into their hearing and with that, the rain started.

Arnav turned to Maya, "Just get in, will you?"

Maya got startled at that but couldn't help uttering anything but a nod.
