Chereads / My Evil Boss / Chapter 12 - 11

Chapter 12 - 11

Raheel was surprised because Bhavin has not brought him to his office to play Garba but instead he has brought him to the local temple where people have gathered and are playing Garba and dandiya.

Just the moment Raheel saw people playing Garba he forgot everything that happened in Prithvi's house. He just stepped out of the car barefoot and rushed towards the ground.

But before he starts playing Garba he seeks the blessing of Goddess. Bhavin too joined him as both the guys headed to the ground to play Garba.

Some consider Garba and Dandiya a play thing but for Raheel it's a devotion and Bhavin is the only one who knows that. Why? Because he himself believes Garba and Dandiya is a form of devotion.

As both guys played Garba their faces were lit with happiness, pure happiness. No one said anything to each other but the silence between them while playing Garba spoke a lot. And whoever observes them can say they were speaking through Garba.

Meanwhile Prithvi is now having a guilt trip as he dialed Mrs. Khanna's number who answered his call after a very long time. "Is Raheel enjoying the Garba?" asked Prithvi. Mrs. Khanna who had stopped playing Garba when she was informed that Prithvi had called her.

She looked around and couldn't see Raheel and to be honest in this huge crowd to find Raheel would like finding a needle in a hay stock. But all these years have gained her experience that in times like such, Raheel could be found easily because the way he plays Garba attracts lots of attention.

And right now, there's no such thing here. So she replied, "No Raheel isn't here." Prithvi has hung up the call and wondered where Raheel could have been gone.

Minutes, have turned into hours as Raheel and Bhavin continued to play Garba and dandiya even the energy they were giving inspired others to play Garba and dandiya with such energy. Both the guys have actually lit the environment.

Both are drenched in sweats but they continued playing and that's when for the first time Bhavin said something. "Would you like to be my Garba partner for these nine nights?"

A slight blush appeared on Raheel's cheeks as he nodded his head in affirmation. "You look energetic even after playing Garba for so long" asked Bhavin.

"Garba and Dandiya for me are a source of comfort and happiness" replied Raheel. Bhavin just smiled as he continued, "This was something that made me curious about you." Raheel didn't reply to anything about what Bhavin just said. Instead he gave him a warm smile.

As the night started to elapse Bhavin suggested, "Let me drop you home you have to go to office in the morning." For some reason Raheel didn't want to go back home but he couldn't go Bhavin's place also. So he return back with Bhavin to his car who drove him back to his home.

Raheel invited Bhavin to his place for a coffee but Bhavin politely declined by saying, "It's very late at night so it's not better for him to come at his place maybe next time or some other day."

Raheel nodded his head as he bid his goodbye to Bhavin and walked inside the elevator.

Upon reaching his room, he put his cellphone on charge and headed to bathroom to get himself freshen up. He sit on his bed and thought about the incident.

He thanked Goddess for making him realize how wrong his feelings were for Prithvi. After today's incident, Raheel is cleared all his feelings for Prithvi are gone. Instead he will now only look as his employer and nothing else. But then the thought of Bhavin made him have a smile of his lips so he prayed, "Goddess help me in choosing what is right and what is wrong for me."

With that prayer he headed to sleep. The next morning when Raheel woke up he got a text from Bhavin saying, "He will pick him up from the office for tonight's Garba."

Raheel immediately replied, "Done, deal by the way good morning sir."

And with that he left his cellphone on bed stand and started getting ready for the day. He selected grey shirt and same color pants. As he took his cellphone and left for the office.

When he reached office Mrs. Khanna pulled Raheel aside and asked, "Where were you last night?"

Raheel gave her a smile and replied, "After finishing my work with Mr. Prithvi I left to play Garba."

Mrs. Khanna looked at Raheel with curiosity and asked, "I didn't see you in office ground so where have you played Garba?"

Raheel just gave her a smile and said, "Just gone to play on a special place." And headed upstairs on their floor.

Prithvi heard the conversation of Mrs. Khanna and Raheel. But the way, Raheel is talking has made him sure that Raheel isn't angry right now. So he headed upstairs only to be greeted by Mrs. Khanna.

As he entered his office he saw Raheel arranging files on his desk as he said, "Good morning Raheel."

Raheel turn around with a small smile on his lips as he greeted his boss. "I have placed the coffee on your desk, important files are also on the desk and the contract we worked on last night is out for printing" said Raheel in a formal tone.

As he passed by Prithvi, Prithvi hold Raheel's hand and said, "I wanted to talk with you about last night."

Raheel immediately flinched but regained his composure as he turn around and said, "Yes, do tell me what you want to say."

For the first time in all these years Prithvi has seen such expression on Raheel's face. Somehow he said, "I apologize for last night. I was out of line for doing and saying those things and I'm really sorry for that."

Raheel remained calm and replied, "I accept your apology but please refrain from interfering my personal life as I don't interfere in yours and wouldn't like your interference at all."

With that he nodded his head and started to walk towards the door when once again Prithvi called him.
