Dev's POV:

(Next day morning...Driving his luxury car back to the 5 star Hotel Kapoor's had put up in Mysore)

Women!!!

Why are women so complicated?

So complex 😏

I don't understand why the hell don't they analyse things and action it?

I hate to run without a Personal Assistant but then they always run away 😒

Pragati my co-ordinator for events who happens to be a friend informed me that VK (Vidisha Khurana) the designer whom Gaya's launched, nourished and honestly 'tolerated' quit without a notice!!!

It just happened overnight?

I was pissed!!! Annoyed!!! Irritated!!!

She quit when Gaya's Fashion week is only a month away.

She knew it's tough for us to get a popular name like her under our brand tag in this interval!!! She played smart!!!

And Pragati couldn't retain her because she wasn't ready to stay back even for a hiked price!!!

It pissed me when my HR said she was happy to pay the notice period amount too !!! That's three times her package which means SHE IS GONE!!!

Now we need a designer under the wings of Gaya's to make sure we bounce back post VK's failed collection last summer fashion week we organised!!!

Our sales dipped but I know we will bounce back but Vidisha had a viscous plan!!! She'll pay for it someday!!! No one messes my business!!!

Huhh.... That's exactly when I received a message from her...I stopped the car by the side...

'You know DK... I told you... either we get married either I fly solo!!!

And I know that old hag Saudamini Kapoor is planning Dhruv's wedding now!!!

Which means you are still not in plans of marriage and I can't continue to be your bed partner!!! I want that name for me!!! That respect which I'm not getting from you or your family which either way hates me!!!
So it's simple... I quit!!!
This time Gaya's as well as... I QUIT YOU!!!'

I was boiling in anger!!!

I dialled her number...

She picked my call....

'I knew it DK...you cannot stay without me'

And I didn't let her complete and roared!!!

'Listttten you Vidisha!!! You are not important to me and honestly after what you addressed my grandmother as...I absolutely don't need you even around Gaya's!!! I fucking give a damn about your stupid demands!!! I made you very clear when we slept with each other that it's clearly nothing but physical needs which we both satisfied!!! I bloody never promised you love, roses or marriage!! Get it???
It was our mutual choice!!!
So marriage is in no context!!!

And ya don't think I don't know where you are going and who is funding that money which you are ready to pay my HR as a notice period amount!!!.

'Hrishi's' right???

To that cunning rival of mine
Please let him know!!!

He is dealing with DK!!!

If I can make one Vidisha Khurana...I can make many more too!!!

Gaya's was anyways fed up of taking your tantrums!!! I'm glad my employees will be at a little peace now!!!

And oh ya ...if you think you joining my Rival Fashion house will fuck up our event next month...

I promise you Gaya's will have the most successful fashion week this year in India!!!'

I cut the phone call... But I was so pissed that I threw the phone outsidede the window and started driving back to our hotel in full rage!!!

The minute I reached the hotel...

The receptionist told me that Daadi left me a note!!!

I checked the note which had an address asking me to join there by 11 am.

It was already 12:30 pm.

I quickly tried dialling Daadi from reception, she didn't pick my call. When I tried Naman he as well wasn't picking the call.

Annoyed and irritated I started driving to the location...

Address read ...

Anmol Apartments
Block A, 3rd floor, #301
Vijayanagar 4th stage
Mysore

And I started driving to the location. It took me approximately 20 min to reach there.

It looked like a simple apartment which probably had two blocks with 5 floors each.

I noticed Dhruv was on a phone call near the apartment lawn area. I parked the car and tapped on his shoulder.

Seeing a tensed Dhruv I understood, Vidisha's exit reached his ears!!!

He quickly asked me 'Bro how will we manage this in such a short span of time'

I patted on his shoulder asking him to relax and assured him I'll find a way...

Gritting his teeth he said..
'See this is why I and Daadi never trusted that Vidisha...cunning fox'

I asked him to calm down and asked him to come along as I didn't know where the house was... I hate this family meeting to fix proposal etc drama. But this time I couldn't avoid it because...it was Dhruv!!!

All these years I avoided this drama because it was trap laid for me...but this time it was my younger brother's turn. And knowing the innocent good hearted Dhruv I wanted to make sure he lands up with someone who is kind and sweet.

Although this time the girl is Daadi's childhood friend's daughter...I still wanted to make sure Dhruv ends up with the right girl.

I asked Dhruv to join me but he said he's on a call with his assistant and will join in a few minutes...

I took the lift...It was the old style manual lift. I pressed 3rd floor, just then a girl came rushing with a lot of bags in her hands into the lift. She was so full that she couldn't close the lift door.

'Helppppp' she said..

I looked at her ...

'2nd floor please' she said quickly

'Women again🙄....Ahhhh....when they can't handle why do they carry so many things' I said at once softly.

Closing the door for her...

While I heard voice behind the bags saying...

'Oh Hello Mr.... If women couldn't carry things you wouldn't be here correct?? Im sure you were carried by a woman too in her womb!!!'

'What did you say I asked' in s hissing tone!!!

'Exactly what you heard Mr ...and yup... don't think that women can't handle thing's...if we can give birth to jerks like you women can do anything!!!'

Just then her floor had come...
She quickly kept the bags down and opened the door.

That's when I saw the same blindfolded girl I met last night....

Her pitch black shiny eyes were still fresh in my eyes... her hair was flying due to the fan in the lift... It was all over her face...

Wearing a sleeveless pink kurta... although she was cute she looked beautiful when she was silent... Thr minute she opened her mouth she sounded like a witch to him!!!

He hated that shrilling voice!!!
'Ahhh.... women again!!!'

'You.... What are you doing here???' I asked...

'I guess ...Its none of your business' she retorted...

Quickly opening the lift door...

Placing all bags outside... She picked all the bags while I wondered how she'll close the door... She dragged the door with her legs!!!

Passed me a last glare and left!!!

'Atittude huh😏!!!' I thought to myself!!!

Finally I reached 3rd floor #301...

Just then a middle aged man opened the door...

'Ummm...Dev Kapoor...'

I said...

Soon he welcomed me in and I saw my Daadi in conversation with the same old lady I met last night.

I was surprised to see her here????

She smiled at me...

My Daadi introduced to me to the folks there...

That's my eldest grandson... Dev...

I folded my hands with respect.

It was a simple middle class 2bhk apartment with a small living room having a sofa set.

Where my Daadi sat with her friend, joined by another middle aged woman and man.

They asked me to take a seat next to my Daadi...

'I have met this handsome man last night...He saved my granddaughter last night. Thank you beta (son) ' she said...

'Oh I'm happy you guys already met... Yeah I heard about last night's incident...I'm glad Ishaani is safe!!!'

My Daadi said...

'Ishaani.... Ok... So Ishu is short for Ishaani...I thought in my mind!!!'

However innocent the name was that much of a nutcase her granddaughter actually was 😏

'Dev is pretty possessive about Dhruv, so wanted him to meet your grand daughter too before fixing the proposal...I just loved your granddaughter Veena...She is the perfect Kapoor Bahu (daughter in law) ' Daadi said

I froze...

'Like really??? Daadi liked that mad woman for Dhruv??? I mean seriously??? Her tongue is sharper that my chef's knife 😏 she will make my innocent Dhruv's life a living hell... what the hell is Daadi thinking'

That's when Veena Daadi asked me...
'So what do you think Beta, will my granddaughter and your brother make the perfect SRK-Kajol pair'

I looked at her with a 'huhh🤨'

I just got a call and got up to excuse myself...

That's when I heard a loud voice...

Yes it was her again with a lot of boxes...

'Daadi all the gifts are packed and ready for the Roka... '

Soon she tripped due to the mat on floor and slipped..

And fell on me...

I landed on floor...

And she landed upon me...

Her pitch black eyes were again registered in my eyes!!!

Her hands landed on my chest!!!

Although I hated her voice... Her attitude!!!

The innocence on her face, those button pitch black eyes, that pointed nose and pink plum lips...

I was hypnotized!!!
