"You're glowing." Purab took a slice of his turkey. He is in an Italian restaurant with his younger sister, Priyanka. She just took a break off from the ongoing project with her subjects at the constructing site. Meanwhile, Justin and Harry are two tables afar, also having lunch too but Justin's eyes is always tracing towards Priyanka's table every now and then. "Who's this new secret guy that caught my sister's heart?" He flashed his brows, grinning like a donkey.
Priyanka laughed softly as she crush the food in her mouth. "There's no secret guy, Purab." She took a sip from her glass. "It's just the level of my well-being and status that changed my appearance."
"I doubt." He pointed his fork at her briefly and dig into his plate. "Maybe you don't wanna tell me now but don't worry, I know as time goes on, I'll definitely find out." After a while, he dropped his fork and clasp his fingers on the table, "How is the progress of the project?"
"Fine." She simply answered, still not taking her attention off her food. "Everything is going smoothly, Purab. So, how is your new construction going in Denmark and Mumbai?"
"Well," He exhaled and shrugged. "Denmark is sure ready and um, Mumbai's building construction is almost done. The architect said by next week the whole thing should be set for checkings." He was talking about the new building Priyanka set for him. He was going to start his business again and now, Priyanka suggested he must have a branch in a different country. That is Denmark.
"And mom's coffee farm?" She leaned her back on her seat. Her direction was facing that of Justin and Harry's back. They could see each other. When their eyes jammed, he winked at her and she blushed. "I told her to sell it off and think of a new business."
Purab laughed. The same coffee farm that looked small for them has become large in two weeks. "FYI, mom is not gonna let her hard efforts slide out not now that she has employees working under her care."
Priyanka eyes grew big in surprise. "Are you serious? But she never told me about the progress of the farm – I mean, we spoke this morning and she said the farm is doing great and she's not lacking anything."
"Of course not, Priyanka. As a matter of fact, she had lot of profits last week and she used it to extend the land while she also bought another one down town."
"Wow!" She gasp. "This is good news. I'm…. I'm shocked."
"You should be. Even Mitali started working in New York Times a few days ago. She said she can't sit home doing nothing. She has to work with her degree and am glad she's working."
"I um," She wiped her mouth with a napkin and cleared her throat, "I bought the three companies I used to work." He immediately Purab heard that, his eyes and mouth parted in agape. He was mute and tongue-tied. Priyanka laughed knowing he was speechless. "Yes, brother. I want to start making investments with this little opportunity that I have. What did you say?"
"Splendid!" He exclaimed quietly. He was so happy and he can't believe his little sister is as wise as a tortoise. He poured more wine for her. "Drink up, please. This is good to hear."
She chuckled and picked up her glass for a sip, "I know. Though it'll be so much stress but – I can cope."
After a while, Purab asked, "That Justin guy is still with you." He looks at her intently, "What do you have with him?"
Priyanka dropped her glass and tried to explain things with him, "Purab, there's nothing with Justin and I." She lowered her voice when she leaned on the table. "All I want is for him to suffer for everything him and his family did you us. I want to ruin his life until he begs for death, do you understand?"
Purab's lips curled into a bad smile after hearing that. But Priyanka is a real version of lies. She said those things and after lunch, she was at the backseat of the white limousine, busy having hot sex with Justin. Fortunately for them, Harry was with his girlfriend he sighted from a distance. It was an opportunity for the two to make love for two rounds until they knew Harry was approaching the vehicle.
"Don't pick it." Justin commanded Priyanka when her phone rang and displayed Brimsley on the screen. In fact, he took the phone from her and kept it with him. Harry was spying on the two through the rearview mirror.
Priyanka didn't like how he's behaving suddenly. "Why would you take my phone from me? It's Brimsley and I have to talk to him maybe he has something important to tell me." She extended her hand for her phone.
"There is absolutely nothing that guy has to say." Justin stated. His eyes wide open in annoyance. "He obviously wants to know how you slept last night or maybe invite you over to his house for dinner or a random date which I won't let happen."
Priyanka try to control her anger. Her hands clenched into a tight fist and her chins too. "Who the fuck are you to command me on what to do or who to choose as my friends?"
"Your fiancée of course." He answered firmly.
Those four words rang a bell in Priyanka's ears. She snatched her phone from him and commanded Harry to stop the car. Justin instructed him to go on. Priyanka commanded him again and Justin instructed like he had said before. It was a tug of war in the car. Harry didn't know who to respond to. She? Or him?
When they got to the white house, she stepped out quickly before the bodyguard helped her with the car door. Justin came out and adjusted his coat. She stopped and turn around to face him when she got to the doorpost of the main mansion. "You are not my fiancée. We are not engaged. We broke up long ago and there is no coming back because I hate you."
"You hate me or you love me?" He stated, indirectly referring to the sex they had in the car an hour ago. Harry came out and leaned on the car, watching the two play 'fighting' again. "I don't really know what your problem truly is, Priyanka. You cause a fight between us and the next minute you want me on your bed. Is that how it's supposed to be?" Harry try to swallow his chuckles which kept showing itself on his lips.
She gulp and paused for a while. Thinking of what to say, she threw some words at him. "You're a big fool, Justin. You always find a way of driving me crazy." She threw her purse on the floor and ran to him. She jumped on him and they kissed hungrily. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck. Harry took his face away as the two kissed their way into the main mansion.
