❝ Cold As Ice
But in the Right Hands,
He melts. ❞

CHAPTER ONE

In India

"Good Morning, Sir." Everyone greeted as he made his way to his office.

He went straight to his office showing no emotions. He didn't need these emotions now. He had become an emotionless person. A cold hearted person.

Siddharth on phone : Send Faisal in my office now.

Girl : Yes sir.

Faisal came in knocking the door.

Faisal : Did you call me, Sidd?

Siddharth angrily : Yes I did. Now make your way here.

Faisal : What happened bro. Is everything all right?

Siddharth : I may be your bro, your best friend outside. But during work time, I am your boss.

Faisal : Awwn, Boss. I know you don't really mean it.

Siddharth : Shut up, Faisal. And listen to what I say.

Faisal : Yes "Boss."

This time, the anger boiled deep in his system as hot as lava.

Faisal : Sorry. Really Sorry this time. Why are you really tensed. Oh, wait, I forgot you are tensed every day.

Siddharth : Will you pay attention to me?
He said rolling his eyes.

Faisal nodded.

Siddharth continued : I want you to to find every information about why the Malhotras shipment have been delaying.

Faisal : Oh, that. That's a piece of cake. Main yeh chutki baja ke kardon ga, "Boss."

Siddharth : You know I hate you so much, "Business Partner."

Faisal : We both know you don't mean it.

Siddharth : You're getting on my nerves. Just get out already.

Faisal : Jo hukm mere "Boss".

He turned to leave but then he realized something.

Faisal : Waise, you look really cute when angry.

He opened the door quickly and rushed back to his office before Siddharth could say anything.

Girl on the phone : Sir, Ms. Ruhi had come to meet you.

Siddharth : Send her in.

Girl : But Sir ---

Siddharth : Don't you fucking understand if I say it once. I told you to send her in.

Girl : Sorry Sir.

"Papa, Papa." The little angel said happily.

Siddharth : Welcome to Papa's office, Meri Pari.

Ruhi giggled.

Siddharth : Aaj meri Pari bohut khush lagrahi hai.

Ruhi : Haan papa. Mein swimming me pehle prize aayi hoon.

Siddharth :Wow. Congratulations. Batao meri pari ko kya chaheye?

Ruhi : Ammi.

Ruhi (continues after taking a break) : Papa, aaj agar ammi hoti toh kitne khush hoti.

Ruhi's eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As she blinked, the tears continuously  dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks. She bit her lip tightly so that she could hide any sound that was about  to escape from her mouth; Siddharth's heart sank.

Her lower lip quivered as words slowly made their way out of her mouth. "I'm sor..."

Ruhi : I'm sorry. Papa.

Siddharth : Don't be.

Siddharth pulled his daughter into hug seeing her tears busting out.

Ruhi snuggled "You're the only person I know that gives indefinite hugs."

Her father snickered, "Well, pari, where else would I rather be?"

In that moment the arms squeezed a fraction tighter and Ruhi breathed more slowly, as her body melted into her father's as every muscle lost its tension to the spring air. No matter what, she always felt safe with no worries in her father's hug.

Siddharth : Ruhi, those we love don't go away. They walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always still loved.
