" How shameless can you be, Mr Chhetri? " , Sonara gritted her teeth.

A shrewd smile piled up on his face as he examined her from all sides, leaning on his bike.

" I didn't expect you to be so eager to meet me, to run down the hostel spontaneously. " , he smirked.

Sonara nodded.
" Of course. I was very eager to spit on you. May I? "

" Haha. Poor girl.
Anyways, the clock's never at rest. Six days from now, and if not willfully, you'll be picked up and made to sit beside me in a temple. And I'll rub you all over with vermilion.

I'm already freezing inside at the feels of the first night we'll share together, sweetheart! "

Sonara couldn't help but really spit, not on him but at his feet. The disgust her stomach was churning with, could not easily be contained.

" How on earth did you imagine even, that I'll marry you?
I'm not a weak chicken, if you think that way. " , Sonara slowly wiped off the unnecessary disgust and made a straight face.

" Uhu! You ain't a weak chicken at all! You are a wild cat. And I love those things quite much. I like taming.. you see, and am quite good at that.
That day too I would have tamed you and we would have had a gala time together, had not that short tempered beast arrived and spoilt everything. "
He scratched his stubble.
" By the way, I don't bear anything but fellow feeling for him.
Anyone who would see you is ought to have...... " , he began to laugh badly.

Every cell of her body forced her to raise a hand, but every centre of her brain wanted otherwise.
Such men were actually coward in all sense, but could prove dangerous despite being dumb.

" Fine then. Let's see who wins. I still suggest you, get a life. Marrying me might gift you a body to play with every night, but honestly, no man would need only that as a wife, I swear. I know, I have seen that happen.

I can't wilfully ruin your life. "

Sonara turned to go.

" Jai Prakash Raichand might not find this a good news.

A beast with a kind heart, he'll definitely run in to save you from me. Lol.

Sorry, but your will and all don't matter to me. Just as I said, I am good at taming wild hollow cats.

That impulsive rich lad might prove harmful, but I've decided that both way it's his loss.

I'll keep a bunchful of police who are my dad's friends, at hand. To help my marriage happen peacefully.

Let him come. It'll be a breaking news, not a good one for his dad. "

He smirked and whooshed away with his bike.

Sonara kept standing, thoughtlessly for sometime.

How big an idiot was this man?
Such hollow and fake warnings on his part, did he really think he could make her do again, what some people made her do one day? 
Did he really imagine he could tame her to the extent of marrying her?
Did he really think his 'bunchful of police' (if any even) could make her marry against her will?
Did he really think that she'd even give a chance to Jai Prakash Raichand to push himself into her matters, again? 

No. Never.

As time passed, she believed that she could do everything for herself once again. She believed that Allah didn't really want that she remain indebted to someone, hence placed her in situations for which she had to look her own way out, once again.

And she was ready to do that. With all her might.

" Jai, you are an intern. I hope you didn't forget that. " , Maya stared at him coldly.

" But maybe you forgot that he's my son, and has equal say in every proceeding of the company. "
Raghav Raichand spoke after a very long time.

Maya pressed her temple.

Jai looked at the ground.
He didn't want this.
He wasn't really finding any interest in the job he was in for the last two days.
Not a tinge bit.
Interns here didn't include him in their groups, they always reminded him that he belonged to somewhere else.
He wasn't assigned jobs others were, his presence always felt like an alarm to everyone around.

Jai was already disgusted with his decision, hence when his father asked him to join into an in-house meeting regarding the company-benefits this morning, he willfully did.

Though he realised soon after, that Maya wasn't very much interested in his advices. Mostly because he knew nothing of the job.

However, this time he couldn't help but speak up. And was very evidently thrashed by Maya. And quite predictably, Dad took his side.

Raghav Raichand continued,
" Ms Zoya, first of all I'm not interested to have any deal with the Siddiquis. Secondly, I think it's time to remind you the terms and conditions of this company once again.
Thirdly, you are a lawyer, stay in your shoes. I don't need your advice regarding what and whom my company would work with. "

" Dad please, will you kindly stop your age old blabber?
Zoya knows her work quite well, and whatever advices she's given to our company since she joined has only done good. Why don't you accept that for god's sake?

And Jai, like really? Did we even ask for your opinion?
This is a meeting of the senior authorities of the company and you are yourself the odd man out! "

" Maya!!!! " , Raghav hissed.

The other three souls in the room, the lawyer Zoya, the senior manager Mr Prasad and a manager Mr Sankar sat utterly silent. Jai realised that these people were used to fights between the father daughter duo.
But he was disgusted upon two things right now.

His presence here, and his sister's stubbornness of doing something her father didn't want her to.

Hence he couldn't stop himself, once again.

" Just a second please.

I know di, you cannot tolerate my presence in this room.
And I don't complain. I've done nothing for building this company till date, and had no plans to in near future.

However, leaving alone that, I very much believe that as wards we have a duty to our parents, to make them happy, to take care of their fears and insecurities.

You have, first of all, on your wish appointed a Muslim employee. Hurting Dad's feelings like hell.

Next, you are vehemently trying to deal with a Muslim company. Like really? Are they the only jewellers whose merger with us will adorn us with heavy profits? Why don't you merge with some Rajasthani jewellers? Some Kundan craftsmen? 

But no, your only aim is to irritate Dad by taking sides of a particular community.

Why even? Can't you for once sit and think....what our parents have done for us?

Who these people are to you di, that they make you go against your family, everytime????? "

Raghav Raichand felt saline flow down his cheeks. He felt proud of his son, more than anything on earth right now.

Zoya Khan threw the chair behind and stood up.

Staring at Maya, she declared distinctly,
" I have always adored you Maya Raichand, and it was for you that I took up this job, despite such a distasteful mindset of your father.
But today I realise, it'll be impossible for me to keep my head right, with more people of your disgusting and primitive family joining the office.

And since everything here is yours, your family's, it's I who decide to leave.

Your father kept his words. Since I joined, he hardly interacted but didn't ever put my religion down.

But I'm sorry, it's impossible for me to work here, with this new man around.

Thank you for everything. My resignation letter will reach your desk soon. "

As the glass door closed upon itself, the room turned into a mortuary.
Dead silent.

Jai knew, things had gone worse, and worst.

All he knew were a pair of burning eyes fixed upon him.

Of, a flaming..... Maya Raichand.

Lol. A bit of a drama.
And lots of boredom.
By the way, should I be thankful to myself for writing daily?
