Let Me Love You

Chapter 35

Why did he have to be here?! Ajay had thought that this would be his opportunity to show Gauri that he was serious about her but why was this Dilpreet always in his way?! When Gauri had responded to his text this morning he had to rummage through his contact list to call a female friend in the Human Resource Department. It was a Sunday so he had to practically beg this woman to access the company database from home in order to get Gauri's address. Did she even know what it had cost him?! He was practically pimping himself out just to knock on her door to see another man standing behind her.

"Ajay? What are you doing here?" Gauri asked.

As for Omkara he was staring at the pool of coffee at Gauri's doorstep. He hated mess but he hated the fact that this man was standing here. How did he know where Gauri lived? Has he been following her? Did she give him her address somehow? No. Gauri was too careful and wouldn't just give out her personal information. The possibility of him following her was even slimmer because he has been the one escorting her home and he would have noticed if he was being followed. The more he thought about the possibilities the more his eyes grew cold. This man obviously had formed connections within the company; HIS COMPANY. To think that someone dare to break company regulations made him extremely angry.

"Oh...I just wanted to check up on you but it seems I was too late."

Gauri did not like being stalk like this. It was disturbing that Ajay knew where she lives, especially when it was only her and Bhavya living in this house.

"As you can see I am fine. You do not need to worry."

The atmosphere was becoming more awkward for Ajay since Gauri had not invited him in. He was standing there with coffee stains at the bottom cuffs of his pants as well as his shoes.

"I'm sorry for making a mess out here." Bending down to pick up the coffee cups Ajay looks pitifully at Gauri who seem to not be affected. "Can I come in to throw these away and clean up a bit?"

Judging by Gauri's hesitation Ajay was sure he had found a way in until a pair of hands grabbed the empty cups from him.

"I will throw this away."

Ajay hated those pair of arrogant eyes. Constantly in his way! Constantly challenging him!

"Thanks but can I still come in to clean up a bit? The coffee was a bit hot. I think my socks are a bit soaked."

Gauri looks down to see that his pants were indeed stained so she reluctantly said "yes."

When Bhavya and Rudra saw the guest come in they stared at one another.

"The bathroom is over there." Gauri pointed while Omkara made sure he was always blocking Ajay's view as he threw away the coffee cups.

Bhavya waited till the bathroom door close to whisper to Gauri who had sat back down at the dining table.

"What is he doing here?!"

There was no question that Gauri was troubled. Her expression gave it all away. "I'm not sure."

Looking at Gauri Omkara stood up from his seat and grabbed her wrist gently.

"Come with me."

Rudra and Bhavya once again looked at each other in confusion.

"Where are you going?!" Whispered Rudra.

Gauri could feel his warm hands holding her wrist as he gazed down at her. His gentle voice made her feel at ease and the next thing she knew her feet was already following him.

"Wha?..What should we do?" Rudra asked in a panic. "What about that fellow in there?!"

When he saw his cousin stop just one step shy away from the door Rudra was expecting him include them but instead "You should entertain your guest."
