Conditionally Married

21 - Showtime

Sudden pain around my wrist make me woke up from my sleep.

Ouch

What the f****

I opened my eyes to see that the source of the pain is in deep sleep

He was holding my hand so tightly as if he wont let me go.

Let me go from his home or life??

Didn't he said the previous night that he only sleep with people he love...

He is sleeping with me..

That means???

Nayy dont think that much Sia.

You're nothing for him... Just nothing

I looked at the wall clock. There was still few hours for meeting.

Since there was only one bathroom, I should get up there fast before he wakes up.

I took shower,got changed and came out clean and fresh.

Mr. Ashar was still in bed, checking his emails.

I fakely coughed.

"Good morning" I hope he dont remember holding hands.

"Morning" so much himself.

I wonder how much it will cost him to smile?

"Should I order breakfast?" I asked

"Yes" and he went in washroom.

After a while, we both had breakfast and discussed some meeting points.

This was the first time he was giving presentation to such important people.

I was nervous, but he looked calm.

We then left for meeting at 10.30 AM to conference hall of the hotel. We were greeted by Mr. Rowan himself.

"Bonjour" he greeted us in French.

We both shook hands turn by turn.

"It is pleasure having you both here with us in our celebrations" he said

"Congratulations on the anniversary of your hotel Mr. Rowan" Ashar said

"No, no, this is not the time and place to congratulate me. You both have to attend our party tonight. We will be having fireworks at midnight and its a scene must to watch" he said.

"We are so looking forward for that Mr. Rowan" he said

Soon, other board members came in.

I was sitting on the side, letting him to present.

There would be fireworks tonight. Means they will close lights of the hall. An excellent chance to run.

I lost the track of his presentation when that idea stuck me.

I looked towards him and he too lay his eyes on me in between.

I saw my hand which he had holded while sleeping.

There were marks of his fingers. But surprisingly, they dont hurt.

I want to help him,to take him out of his troubles. But the walls he had build around himself are huge. I just cant pass through them.

He thinks he is the only one who is damaged. He cant see someone else.

The board members started to clap and thats when I came back to present.
