Riwa's P O V
I reached office late b'coz Trishan was throwing tantrums like a child.
As soon as the alarm rang I sat up and stretched my arms but the very next second Trishan pulled me back in his arms and buried his head in my neck.
"Trishan stop it. I've to get ready or else I'll be late." I said and tried to pushed him but he didn't even move an inch instead he pulled me even closer.
"No...sleep for while." He groaned.
"No....I'll be late." I said and then suddenly I thought of a mischievous ideas.
"You can ask Rebecca to accompany you." I teased him though it was freaking hard for me to even think of Trishan be with any other girl.
He sat up and said looking into my eyes. "You sure... I mean I don't mind having her with me. She's hot after all."I know he was teasing me but it still hurts so I pushed him away with all my might and said furiously...
"Alright then go back to her and do whatever you want."
"And yeah... I'll be going out with this guy in the HR department whose been trying to get my attention this whole week." I said provoking him.
As soon as the words left my mouth Trishan jumped out of bed and pushed me against the wall,lift my chin up with his finger and said looking straight into my eyes, " You dare to go out with that stupid guy who didn't know his boundaries and I promise I will crack his bones." He said and I could see that he is damn serious.
I know I should be angry at him for talking such nonsense but instead his words warmed my heart and soul.
I smiled and hugged him tightly and said, " Relax I was joking. Do you really think that I'll go out with just any guy."
He relaxed under my touch and sighed, " I know but just the thought of you being with any other guy makes my blood boil with anger."
I pushed him away to have a look at his face. He smiled down at me and I tip-toed to place a kiss on his lips but he tightened his grip on my waist and kissed me harder making us breathless.
After calming my heart I said, "okay now lets get ready."
*Ring Ring Ring*
The phone in my cabin rang bringing me back to reality.I picked the phone and it was Mr.Devin.
"Good morning sir. How may I help you?" I said.
"Good morning Ms.Riwa. I want you in my office in 5 minutes." He said
"Sure sir." I said and hung up.
I headed to his office and knocked the door.
"Come in." Mr.Devin said.
"Have a seat Ms.Riwa." He said
"Thank you sir." I said and waited for him to continue.
"Ms.Riwa AMOR AGENCY is really very impressed by the presentation and they are ready to collaborate with us."He said
"Great that's a good news for us." I said.
I was really very happy and satisfied.
"Yes it is but the problem is that they wanted to sign the contract today and I have this very important meeting to attend and I cannot miss it so...." he trailed off.
"I want you to meet them in my place and sign the contract. I have already signed it you just have to go there and they will sign the contract."He said
"But sir why don't we just move this contract signing to some other day." I said.
"No we cannot b'coz I have heard that our rival company is also trying to contact them and I don't want to give them any chance. So, I want to sign the contract as soon as possible. Don't worry I will talk to them you don't have to worry about anything." He said
I thought for while and then said. "Okay sir. I'll go."
"Okay Ms.Riwa here is the contract. You are expected to be there at 1 pm. My driver will take you there." He handed me the contract.
I nodded at him and went back to my cabin.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
I reached at AMOR AGENCY and I was told to wait in the CEO's office as he was in the meeting.
"Wow! Impressive. " I entered the office and was really mesmerized by the interior design.
The room was a perfect combination of black and white. It seems like the person isn't fond of colours very much. On the one side there was a book shelf and in the middle there's CEO's working table and right in the same direction there was a small place like a bedroom.
I went towards the window which was behind the CEO's table, I mean facing the front door, the view was really great from that point.
Then after the whole tour of the room, I sat on the chair and was going through the contract for one last time.
Suddenly the door opened and I turned to see the person, I fumbled. He saw me just for a second and then sat on his chair and started reading some files.
"Hello Mr.Malik." I greeted him.
"You??" He said without looking up at me.
"I -I'm Riwa from DS Creations. "I stammered.
I noticed that he stopped reading the file and suddenly looked at me up and down as if he is looking for something.
After few seconds he jumped from his chair and headed towards me pulling me into his tight embrace. I tried to push him but his next words froze me.
"Riwa! It's me Ruhan."he said as he tightened his hold on me.
"Huh! "I was shocked b'coz when he entered the room I didn't saw his face properly.
I pushed him lightly to take a look at his face. He had changed a lot in these years. He's more handsome and mature. His dark brown eyes are sharp now, the softness is gone. But at that moment when he was taking in my features just as I was taking in his I noticed his eyes soften.
He was wearing a black suit which seems to be custom made. The suit was making him look even more handsome and does justice to his handsome face. He was an inch taller than me.
We both were staring at each other and when his eyes met mine my heartbeat sped up.
Sometime later, someone knocked on the door which bring us back to reality. We both startled and get back to our positions where were we.
"Come in "he said.
And his assistant came with a file in his hand.
"Boss you have a meeting in half an hour with the CEO of HP company. "he said and handed the file to him.
"OK. You may leave now. "he said coldly.
"OK. "his assistant said and left.
"It's been so many years and you look even more beautiful. "he said and his expressions softened.
"Th-thank you."I replied didn't know what to say.
"By the way I'm here to give you this. "I said while passing him the contract file.
"oh! You are here for this."he said.
"Yes actually Mr. Devin wants to come but suddenly he has to go to attend an important meeting. So, I came in his place. "I said.
"OK. "he said and signed the papers.
"Here "he said and passed me the file.
I accidentally touched his hand and we looked at each other I don't know why but it felt like my heart will come out now. I felt really nervous at that time that my hands were shaking. However I stabilized myself.
"Thank you ,then I should leave now. "I said while standing.
"Huh! Wait. "he said while holding my hand.
"Hm. What's wrong? "I asked.
"If you don't mind can we have a cup of coffee together. "he said.
"Hn? Actually I -I...."I wanted to say that I have some things to do but he cut me off.
"please don't say no. "he said.
"OK. "I replied.
He smiled.
When we were leaving the office his assistant came to him and said "Boss, we should go to the meeting as we have only 10 minutes now. "
He stopped and said, "Cancel the meeting. I have something urgent to attend. "
"B-But Boss... "He murmured.
"Don't you hear me? Just cancel. "Ruhan said.
"OK boss. "he said.
I was shocked that just for me he cancelled his meeting. Am I that important for him? Argh! What I'm thinking.
We went to a cafe. We ordered two cups of coffee.
The environment seems to be little awkward. We both stared at each other and hesitated to talk but Ruhan broke the silence.
"Ahm... S-so how have you been these years."He asked me.
"Hmm! Pretty good. What about you? "I said.
"I.. I'm also fine. "he replied.
"Great! Amm...when did you came to Canada? "I asked him.
"Almost 7 years ago and I started my business here. "he replied.
"OK "I said.
"You live here with your parents?"I asked him.
"No. When I came here I used to live with my uncle and aunt but few years back I left their place and now I lived all alone. "he replied very softly.
"OK. "I said. I wanted to ask him more but at the same time I didn't want to interfere in his personal life.
Then we were silent again and he took a sip of coffee while looking at me. The way he looked at me I felt like he had a lot to say to me but however may be he's feeling uncomfortable. Then suddenly he asked...
"By the way, from how long have you been in Canada? "
"I -I came here just few weeks back....." suddenly my phone rang and I stopped. It's a call from the office.
"Excuse me I need to take this call. "I said.
He nodded.
I hung up the call and told him, "Ahm.. actually I need to go to office. Something urgent come up. "
"Ah! Sure.. No problem. "he replied.
"Bye "I said.
"Bye. See you again. "he said.
I nodded and left.
On my way back to the company, I was lost in my thoughts. Though he has changed a lot but one thing that hasn't changed is that he's not much expressive like before. It seems like that his habit of keeping things to himself hasn't changed which is very stupid of him. Anyway, I can't let my mind be distracted by him. I don't want my old feelings to overshadow my present happiness which I used to have for him, b'coz now I have a husband who loves me more than anything and I also love him very much.
I really didn't want to ruin my happy life. So let bygones- be- bygones. It would be good for all of us.
