"Bound By Tradition Unbound By Love" [ Completed]

Chapter 60

ARJUN'S POV

After disconnecting the call there was a knock on the door and Kishore and Aditya entered observing the ongoing interior work. Kishore inquired "How's the work going on?" I responded "It's going well; they will complete it by this evening. Siya will be coming from tomorrow and by then everything will be arranged." Aditya noticing my demeanor asked "What happened to you? Why do you look lost?"

I looked at them and shared "Our PI Rahul Mehra called me. He informed me that Alisha is back in India." Both Aditya and Kishore shared a surprise look, Aditya added "But Sambhav didn't give any information when we met him yesterday."

I explained "That's because even they don't know. She didn't inform the Thakurs about her return. Presently she is staying at her uncle's place and according to Rahul's informer they are planning something big. He advised me to keep an eye on Siya, suggesting that maybe Alisha is planning something against her."

Concerned expressions appeared on their faces. Kishore reassured, "Don't worry, Arjun we are all here to take care of her." Aditya suggested, "Yeah, Arjun increase her security." I replied "I have already done that. It's a relief that Siya will be here from tomorrow morning. If she's in front of me then I can have peace of mind."

Aditya inquired, "So what's the next plan of action?" I replied, "I don't know. We have to wait until Rahul gives any further information because each step has to be cautious. One wrong move and it will alert Alisha posing a danger to Siya further."

Aditya and Kishore both nodded in agreement. Later my PA came inside and announced about the upcoming meeting scheduled. I acknowledged him with a nod as Kishore and Aditya went to their respective tasks, I decided to call Siya to ease my mind. Her voice had a calming effect on me. Looking at her picture on my table caressing it, i dialed her number.

Me: Hello, Jaan.

Siya: Hello Husband, don't tell me you called me to give me some other work.

Me: (chuckling) No, no, I just called to listen to your sweet voice.

Siya: (pouting) I thought you wanted to see me.

Me: I am even doing that.

Siya: Huh, how's that?

Me: I'm looking at your picture and talking to you.

Siya: Oh, then why don't you record my voice and feel like I'm talking to you? why to bother yourself to call me?

Me: (teasing) Even that idea is good, I'll try it.

Siya: You can do that in the future when I'm dead and no longer near you. Then only you can listen to my voice and look at my picture and you'll feel that I'm near you. Till then i wont give you that chance, i will bother you with my nonstop talks.

Me: Jaan! (I raised my voice) Have you gone mad? Don't you have filters on your mouth, or don't you know how to talk.

Siya: B... Bu... But... Ar... Arjun... I was just joking.

Me: (sternly) Shut up, Siya! You don't know when to joke and when not to joke. For God's sake just keep your mouth shut. (I disconnected the call without even saying goodbye.)
