Part 58

"Papa main aapke paas soungi..." Little Aashi came running into our room, clutching her blue teddy bear in her tiny arms.I was arranging the clothes in the cupboard and apparantly, trying to grab Mr.Rakshash's attention too, when she interrupted."aww... there's my princess.." He closed his laptop and pulled Aashi into his lap.I pretended to ignore their convo, while I stole glances of them behind the cupboard door."mujhe aapke paas sona hai.." the little angel muttered."As you wish...." he kissed her forehead."yaay!! " she clapped her tiny hands."Toh mein Mr.chotu ko leke aau?" she asked."of course.. " he smiled.And she went out running, dragging her teddy behind her.
As soon as Aashi went out, I felt Rajiv's gaze on me, so I shifted my vision towards the cupboard again."sunno....." He called out.I didn't react as I thought, he was calling some servant."sunnai... de bhi raha hai yaa dimaag ke sath kaan bhi kharab ho gaye hai tumhare??" I didn't respond this time too.After a moment's pause, I felt a jerk and I was turned by a strong force.As I turned, my palms collided on stony surface. I was startled, thus, closed my eyes.But soon after, I lifted my eyelids, my eyes met his orbs."kaan bhaade pe de rakhe hai kya?" he hissed and squeezed my elbow."oh.. tum mujhe bula rahe the? sorry.. sorry ... mera naam 'sunno' nahi hai.. Bhoomi mishra... oops! Bhoomi Malhotra hai.. how may I help you sir?" I faked a smile , pushing him gently."funny.. accha joke tha.. why don't you go to a circus by the way.. unlogo acche clowns ki bahot zaroorat hai.." He crossed his arms."yeah! sunna toh mene bhi tha ... aur isiliye toh soch rahi hu.. tumne kyu nahi try kiya?" I reflected back his attitude."shut up..." he clenched his jaw."Buzz off! " I rolled my eyes."Listen..mein bhi tumse baat karne ke liye .. mara nahi jaa raha tha..." I didnt let him complete and teased him, "oh.... someone is dying without me.... but sorry Raju baby... I'm out of your coverage area.." and I laughed on my own joke.He stood still and glared me, if eyes could kill, I would have died a million times by now."what?" I asked and walked towards him, apparantly threatening him tongue emoticonBut dhoodum.... I stumbled like a real clown and fell on him.He grabbed my waist to support me and I too, held him. "oh.. god.. I'm sorry.." we heard a voice.And there at the door, shreya stood covering her eyes.Rajiv pushed me away and ran towards her."Aree ... shri ... tum kab aayi?" "sorry... I disturbed you..." shreya said in a sweet tone, sweeter than honey I tell you colonthree emoticon"Aree.. no.. no.. aisa kuch nai... bas Bhoomi ko chalna nahi aata toh gir gayi.." Rajiv explained while glaring me angrily."wese tum yahan?" he asked."woh Aashi zid kar rahi thi... ki tumhare sath soyegi.. toh tumhe bulaane aayi thi..." "kahan?" he asked."hamare, I mean, mere aur aashi ke kamre mein...sone... yahan rahegi toh Bhoomi ko tang karegi..." she uttered."what?" I yelled.Both of them.. stared me."what do you mean?Rajiv kahin nahi jayenge... aise kese woh ... " I was blabbering, when Rajiv beckoned shreya to leave and she left.He held me to calm me down."Bhoomi... relax..." he said."how could she say that?tum uske sath ek kamre mein ....... kese...." I couldn't control my tears and cried like a little kid."mein tumhe jaane nahi dungi uske pas..." I spoke between my sobs as he cupped my face."sshhhh... listen.... Bhoomi.... there's nothing to worry about... aur wese bhi mein chala bhi jau toh kya fark padta hai?" he asked and I gave a tight stamp of my fingers on his cheek."don't you dare to think of it... " I sobbed more, pulling his collars and he engulfed me into a warm and protective hug.
