Ahana's POV:

"Are you able to move to foot?" The doctor asked while applying pressure on my foot to check if there weren't any major issues.

We were in the hospital. Because Mr Rudransh Raichand was tensed about my foot. I was normal because there was no pain and just a few scratches.

However, it was my mistake in the first place. Yash sent me a funny video of Ayaan and at that moment I forgot I was wearing heels and jumped just a little and the next moment  I was in his arms.

I tried my level best to not go to the hospital because it was nothing.

FlashBack Start.

"Ru! It's nothing! I'm smoothly moving my feet." I stroked his arm.
He didn't answer but was driving like this life was dependent on it.
"Ru? Bolo na!"
"Ahana, let's get it checked!" This stubborn man.
"Nahi! There is no need!"
"There was blood on your feet! GODDAMMIT!"
"You are just being a kid. A 26-year-old Dramatic kid!" I said it cuz he wasn't ready to listen.
"Thank you, Mam! We have reached!

I hushed a breath out. I too laughed because I knew the doctor would do the same. Seeing him care this much for me makes my heart race too.

He quickly hurried to my side and opened my door. I was about to step out but he placed one arm on my back and one underneath my knees next moment I was in his arms.

"Rudransh! I can walk!" I protested.
"You can't tabhi we are here!"

He motioned his men, who swiftly went inside the hospital and made our entry to the doctor's clinic.

Flashback Ended.

I turned my head in my left direction only to find a super tensed Rudransh. His forehead lines were visible and was standing in a super stiff position with arms crossed.

"There is nothing to worry about Mr Raichand. Mam is completely alright and these are merely scratches." The doctor confirmed he lightened his posture and I smiled.

"Are you sure? Because she wasn't able to stand at that moment?"
"I'm 100% sure! There is nothing to worry about!" The doctor said with an assuring smile and that relaxed Rudransh.

The Doctor left, He and I were alone in the room. I waved him to come sit with me as I crossed my legs.

"Aap theek ho na? You are not feeling any pain right?" He said and all furrows on his forehead were again visible.

I lifted my hand and softly rubbed his forehead. "I am perfectly alright! There is nothing to worry about. My kiddo!" A smile crept on his face.

I cupped his cheeks and could feel his jaw clenched. "Aap par naa tension suit nahi krti. Mat lia karo!" Then I placed a soft kiss on his forehead and I could feel him getting relaxed in my hold.

He then placed a soft peek on my cheek and I whispered against his touch.

"Ghar Chalein?" I asked and he nodded.
He was to pick me up again but I snapped, "I can walk." And laughed.

Such a kid. My Kid.
----------------------------

The new environment is treating me pretty well. It is been a week since I started coming to the restaurant. The staff is being more enthusiastic, people are eating with smiles and animals are playing at ease.

I love this. This makes me feel content. I looked around and inhaled a deep breath which filled my lungs with happiness. I then walked towards my desk and sat there. I took a proposal as it was from some MNCs who wanted to organise their event at our place.

My phone rang and I peeked to see who it was. 'Mumma' I picked it up!
"Hello bacche!"
"Hi maa! Ap kab aa rahe ho?" I just shot my questions because I was missing them.
"Sorry, but abhi toh possible nahi hoga! It will take time!"
"Arre yrrr---" I was interrupted by my manager.
"Mam the client is here!" He said and I nodded.
"Maa, I'll call you back!" She humed and hung up.

While I was lifting the client's prospects I again got a call and that was Ru.
"Hello!" He said but he wasn't voicing as usual.
"Hi!"
"Where are you?"
"At the restaurant"
"I'll be there!"
"You could have texted, Ru."
"I wanted to hear your voice. I'll be there in 15 minutes!" And he hangs up.

This man will make me crazy someday for sure.
-----------------------------

"So, Miss Kapoor! What have you decided?" The client's manager asked.

I eyed my manager and signalled him as a no. Because they were too much demanding about arrangements. Every single event I have organised to date has been a success but My gut is not letting me accept their event and they want our animals out. It could not happen even in my dreams.

"Mr Singhania I'm sorry. I don't think we'll be able to make the event happen for you."

I declared and the whisper talking started between the opposite member. I knew this would hurt their ego but I don't give a damn.

My restaurant is dedicated to my pet and has given shelter to each animal on the road within our reach. We can't go beyond our motive just because of a deal.

"But why?"

"The problem is that I don't find any objective to do it. You want our animals out with the fact that the motive of our place is to shelter animals. And this restaurant is pet-friendly. So  I don't know why you even added that clause. It's baseless." I said and collected all the papers arranging them in a file.

"You are repudiating us for this reason. Are your animals more important than this deal which can be huge for you!" He uttered and I could sense his bruised ego from his ugly words. I never expected that he could also talk shit about other's morals but here we are getting a reality fucking check.

I straightened my posture while I eyed him which made him I guess conscious and I checked his clothes alignment.

"Mr Singhania. First of first, this is the biggest reason to reject your deal. And yes, you don't worry about us we are already huge enough in our industry and that is why you are sitting here. In my damn office for your event." I said while softly sliding the file to his side and that made him shift from his position.

He chuckled while aligning his tie and then cleared his throat.

Oh God! I love people with bruised egos.

"You'll be at a loss. Miss Kapoor! I don't think you understand business and stuff!" He wasn't speaking but his male ego was.

These words were enough to fucking trigger me. I hate people who underestimate.

"Mr Singhania, let's call it a day and you can leave now. Your work is now done here!" I soothed myself because I couldn't make a scene at my workplace as people were enjoying outside.

He stood from his place and his manager swiftly took all the papers as I leaned back in my chair eyeing him dead so, that he can get an idea of me saying to him 'Get the Fuck out!'

"I can still you a chance if you want!" This bastard spoke again.

"You---!"

I was interrupted by a familiar voice. It was not calming rather it was rough and furious.

"Mr Singhania, I don't think you know what a No means?" I stood from my chair to see who spoke. Mr Singhania too veered around at the voice and was startled and stuck to his ground.

A long tall, muscular figure came to my sight. It was Ru. He was wearing his perfectly tailored Armani suit with a straight face and his left side neck vein popped.

"Do you want me to make you understand what a fucking No means?" He walked into the room with anger flashing on his and I could sense the tension on Mr Singhania.

Does he know him?

Rudransh's POV:

The moment I entered her restaurant it was filled with waves of laughter, her strawberry scent and was just peace.

My day was going just at the office. I was getting annoyed. The work was okay but I don't know why I was feeling this way. So, I decided to come meet her.

I came to breathe the air she was breathing so, that I could be in my calm space and fucking be at ease.

While I asked for the way to her office, I saw an old couple who was sitting with their dog and were giggling.

I wondered how much time they could have spent together. A long way indeed. I want my forever with her. It's only her no one else.

I could not even imagine an 8-month-old me would be this way.

The waitress came and showed me the way to her office. She told me that Ahana was in a meeting and I had to wait. I stood outside her meeting room but then I heard a male chucking.

I went near the door and tried to listen because the male voice was familiar. Her full office was tinted. So, I couldn't see. After much effort, I recognised who he was. It was Mr Singhania. He is our client too. I provided him with security multiple times.
------------------------

My blood boiled while listening to his words. This bastard would be dead the moment he walks out of this damn door. I heard him arguing and decided to walk in.

No one fucking gets to talk to my girl this way. No fucking one. Not even me.

He was shocked to see me here. His world was titled because he was afraid of how I would react to his bullshit behaviour.

"Mr Singhania, I think I have to make you understand what a fucking No means. Do I have to?" I said and crossed my legs with my hands in my pockets.

"Mr Raichand, You here? How?" He was too dumbfounded looking at me.

"That is not your business. I'm giving you 2 minutes to wind up and leave otherwise the consequences won't be good!"
"But---" my glare shut him.

He and his manager walked swiftly out of their chairs and started walking out.

"And Mr Singhania, One more thing. All our deals have now been cancelled. We'll not be giving you a security team from now on!" I don't keep shit at work. He was now on my radar and he has to now  fucking protect him on his own.

"You can't do this!"

"Yes, I can! Now, leave. The door is that way. My team will contact you!" He glared at me thinking that I'll be scared of him but I don't give a flying fuck about him and his company.

He took his gaze from me and shifted to her to which I stood between him and her. Breaking his gaze he looked at me and turned to leave.

"Thank you! I think you can now get back to work!" I heard her saying to her manager. He greeted me and went outside.

I took a long breath and turned to look at her. She was looking breathtaking. I walked to her and stood in front of her. Looking in her eyes which were full of questions.

I didn't give her a chance to speak instead I hugged her. I needed her warmth, her scent, her hands and her fucking everything on me.

I snaked my arms to her waist pulled her closer to me and dug my face into her neck making a cosy space for me. Her hands were tight around my shoulders and one hand rubbing the back of my neck.

"Ru, What happened?" She whispered in my ear.
"Nothing! Apni Jaan se milne nahi aa sakta meh?"
She giggled.

"Zarror aa sakte hain! Par abi to you should be in the office!"
"Apki Yaad he toh kahin baithne nahi deti!"

This time she laughed and that was too loud.
"Aap yeh kahn se sun kar ayein hain, janab?" She let it out and pulled away.

I knew it was too much but it was the truth. I held her wrist and yanked her closer to me.

"Ru, I'm sorry! Because of me, you lost a deal!" Suddenly her emotions changed and she was now sad which was evident on her face.

"Princess, listen to me. My deal with him was nothing and I could buy him anytime. You don't worry about that and yes, I'm proud of you the way you handled all the situation of your own." Singhania was a bastard now I know. He is not even the least she should care about.

She smiled and kissed me. She held my collar from her one hand and one hand on my neck and tugged me to her.

"You are the best thing I have!" She whispered against my lips. "You too, baby!" And I slammed my lips to her.

My hands explored her back and I lifted her top a little from her back and ran my hands and her bare back which erupted goosebumps on her back. My cold hands on her warm back.

A small moan left her lips while I suck her lower lip hard and her grip tightened on my collar. Our tongues ravished each other's mouths as if this was the only meal we had. Her strawberry scent was fucking turning me on.

She then sucked my upper lip and took the lead. My hands went straight down from her ass to the back of her thigh and I lifted her in a jerk. Her legs crossed on her waist, her grip on my hair tightened. I didn't stop kissing her.

I walked to her table which was already already empty and placed her there. I pulled away from her mouth and started placing kisses all over her neck. I kissed my favourite spot and that was a mole in her neck.

"Ru! Tell me why you came this early. I could sense from the expressions you had from the moment you walked in!" She held me from my neck and cupped my cheek with another. This girl wouldn't let it go.

"I just had a shitty day at work. So, I came to you!!" The moment I said it. her face relaxed and she started placing kisses all over my face one by one. Corner of my lips, eyes, eyebrows nothing was left.

As her lips were brushing my face, on every kiss my heart started beating faster, then faster and now it was fucking racing.

Only she has the power to do it. Only She. I smiled at her because of her. I change for her only her.

I love her. I freaking do!

"How is your shitty day now?"
"Now, it is the best day!" I said and she smiled.
--------------------------------------

"How many more files are left?" I asked my assistant who was just busy bringing them.

"Sir, 5 more!" He said hesitatingly.

I had to go to her place at 6 pm and now it was 7:30 pm. We decided to have dinner together. It has been 2 weeks since that restaurant incident.

I couldn't leave these files on hold otherwise it could be problematic. I decided to wind up as soon as possible.

I texted her about my late arrival but she hasn't seen it yet. She might be busy. Well, I hope she sees it.

And I'm so dommed. Aaj toh class lagni hai Rudransh teri!
------------------------------------

Ahana's POV:

He was late. He was now 2 hours late. I had been waiting for him for so long. Now I couldn't wait. It was making me angry.

I saw his text about being late but it was 2 hours ago. Uske said no call, no message.

He might be busy. A thought crossed my mind.

But he has to be busy today only. Aise toh he hops in my office in the evening only. All his work has to be done today only.

I tried to call him but it straight went to voicemail.

It was now 9 freaking pm. Abh bas. Now, if he comes I won't let him in. In anger, I went to the kitchen took all the dishes and kept them in the fridge. I had given all our servants an off today.

So, we could have some us time. But he decided to work. Over anything but fucking work.

I switched the kitchen lights off and then I heard a car honk. It was his.

Aagye hain! Laad Sahab!

I don't think I have the mood now. It was too shitty now. If he was hungry he could heat it by himself and can eat it himself.

I ran to my main door before he could enter. I pulled the door open and slightly slid my head out of it and saw a Rudransh who was practically running towards the gate. I could see some bags in his hand and a bouquet too.

He thinks he can make me do anything by just giving me a gift. He is delusional then.

"There's no need to come in stay out!" I yelled from the door and he frowned. His steps weren't halted and was coming more closer to me. He looked around and I too looked around to see every guard watching us. Like they enjoyed.

"Stay out! There's no space for you inside!"
"Princess! They are watching! I have a reputation!" He said with a slight of honour in his eyes.

"I don't care"
"I know you do. Lemme in baby!" He said while slightly pushing the door.
I don't know what was up with me I let him in.

Yes, I fucking did!

He kept all his gifts on the couch and turned to me. I brought my arms close to my chest and stood straight.

"I'm sorry, Princess!! I was literally stuck!" He let it out and walked to me.

"Tumhe aaj he sara kaam krna tha!" I said and took a step back.

"Arre aap se seedha tum pr!" He chucked. I was angry but not too much. I know he works too much. But he needs to know that it can't happen again.

I somehow tried to control my laugh.

He walked closer to me. And was close enough that he held my elbow and yanked me towards him.

"I'm sorry na, Jaan! I promise it won't happen again!" He held his ears and said.

"You promise?" He nodded.
And I hugged him.

I heard his stomach protesting for food and told him to watch his hands till I served the food.

He came while cuffing his collar and was looking damn hot. I could eat him at that moment.

He sat and I served both of us dinner.
After having a bite he said, "OMG! THIS SOO GOOD!"

I was delighted that he loved it.
------------------------------

I was choosing the movie which we had to watch while sitting on a couch comfortably.

I told him to go and have rest but he insisted on doing as per the plan. I played the movie but I felt a head on my shoulder.

I looked to turn and he was doozed off. I carefully took his head and placed it on my lap and he curled to me more.

I covered him with a blanket. I then ran my fingers from his hair. I felt always grateful to him. I prayed for someone just like him and my God gave me.

He is forever my one and only. I placed a gentle kiss on his head and whispered

I love you, Ru. I always will♡
