Mishti :]

It's the third day of the program. I was nervous, because today I have to walk with him on the stage, being his designer.. It's not new for me, but I was still nervous.. As usual his whole family was there.. I expected my brothers to come here today, but they didn't show up.. In the first round he will walk alone then after an hour, the models will walk with their respective designers.

The first round was just finished, Abir went to change his clothes.. I was wearing a suit today.. It's a casual suit..

Abir came from his changing room, he scanned me from top to toe and pulled the extra cloth which was hanging from my top.. "Have you wrapped a handkerchief around yourself? " he questioned, "Yah, I was running out of clothes! " I mocked back, "This looks good! " he said, I let out a sigh.. We both walked just for a rehearsal.. No one was present there except us..

Five minutes were left.. I took a last glance of him to check whether everything was sorted or not and my eyes popped up seeing a button of his shirt, it's just hanging there on his shirt lining and the clip has become loose.. "What the hell is it? What were you doing with this button? " I scolded him, he made an innocent face and tried to fix it.

I took a breath in distress as the button completely got detached from the shirt and fell down.. "Bravo! " I clapped my hands together in a mocking way and picked up the button.. I dilled our designer's number, but nobody picked my call.. "See, we will go after them! " he said, pointing at the stage..

"Which type of people do you hire? Nobody showed up when you actually needed help!! "

I glared at him and put the clip of the button into his shirt, and stepped close to him.. I pressed the clip using my teeth and tightened the button with the shirt.. It's temporary, but at least saved me from being questioned.. "Let's go! " I said, my heart beat increased because of the last minute inconvenience..

"It's okay, take a deep breath and relax.. " Abir muttered as we stepped on the stage, our footsteps were in sync and the fake smile was plastered on my lips.. We did our walk and came back.. My blood was boiling in anger , it's my good luck that I saw the error first.. What if the button would have fallen in front of the camera..

I marched to our cabin, and Abir was walking behind me.. When I opened the door, I saw everyone chilling and eating pizza.. It made me more angry.. I shut the door in anger, they all stood up in a line including Jeevika.. "This is how you all manage a programme? " I shouted , my jaw clenched and hands forming into a fist..

I pushed the table and the pizza box fell down on the floor, they all gasped in fear.. "Give me your shirt! " I told Abir and in a second he handed me his jacket, I pulled out the button aggressively, "What is this? How did this happen? " I asked, but nobody uttered a word.. It was making me more angry..

"Jeevika! Where is your phone? Can you check how many times I have dialled your number? " I said, she kept quiet.. "I should have hired the other group instead of you all, literally unprofessionalism at its peak. I won't tolerate these things again! " I voiced and turned back to leave but stopped..

"And just remember, if the company or any media resources find out about the issue, just forget your jobs and don't show me your face again.. Including you Jeevika! " I warned them and left.. Several media people were there, they wanted to take an interview but I refused to give any interview and left for my house..

If they would find out about it, tomorrow's headline will be like this : Ithsim brand is selling poor products..

I became more furious and frustrated for shouting at them and throwing the pizza.. In anger I always lose my control and become ridiculous, but today was the worst.. I changed my clothes and went downstairs.. I told my cook to make a coffee for me and went to the garden..

Could this day be more ugly? How I was expecting the last day to end on a good note and here we go! I heard footsteps behind me, "Jeevika, please go from here.. I don't want to talk to you right now! " I said in a low tone, I was frustrated because I shouted at her.. She is the most hardworking girl I have ever come across in my life, so it made me feel worse.. The footsteps didn't stop, I didn't want to utter more shit..

"Listen -" my words stopped midway seeing Mr Rajvansh, he gave me a tight lipped smile and sat on a chair next to me.. "I have brought something for you! " he handed me an ice cream cup, "I thought you would give me a lecture now for whatever I said and how I reacted! "I mumbled, I didn't refuse to take the ice cream and took it.. Because I needed something to calm my mind.. The cook came with the coffee, I gave it to Abir..

" So are you feeling relaxed? " he asked me, I sighed and shook my head in a no.. I was feeling like crying because of the way I over reacted.. I finished the ice cream and threw the cup on the ground in frustation , "Bad manners! " he muttered and threw the cup in the dustbin..

"What are you doing here? " I questioned him, "I just thought about coming here, to check upon you.. " he said, I looked at him for a moment and then diverted my gaze.. How was he not throwing any tantrums at me? We sat there for a few minutes, it was quite dark there.. Neither he spoke anything nor me, it's just completely silent..

"Now I should go! " he stood up and left .. I was clueless, but I didn't put more pressure on my mind and kept looking at the stars.. The employees made a mistake, but being their head I should not have lashed out like that..

____________________

I entered the cabin where all the group members were present who were a part of this ramp show, Jeevika was there too.. Everyone greeted me with a smile , I could feel that they were scared.. "Come in! " I voiced, two guys came inside with the pizza boxes and cocca bottles.. They handed everyone a pizza and cocca..

"A sincere apology from my side for lashing out yesterday. I didn't want to waste the food like that.. I can't recover it, so here is a pizza treat from my side. I hope you guys are not angry with me! " I said, they all just stared at me and blinked their eyes.. "Mam we are sorry for the inconvenience. We were at fault, so we got scolded. It's okay, you don't have to apologize! " One of the employees said, I smiled at her.. "Still I should not have behaved like that! " I said and left the cabin..

My mind was still exploding due to the same incident .. I was actually rude to them yesterday.. Jeevika came to my chamber, I handed her an envelope, and she freaked out.. "Mam, are you really firing me? Mam I am sorry, please don't do this to me! " she blabbered, I stared at her in disbelief and told her to open the envelope..

"Oh? My? GOD? A WEEK HOLIDAY AND A TRIP TO EUROPE? " she screamed in shock and extreme happiness.. I smiled as she started dancing in happiness.. "Go to your house and start packing.. Your flight is tomorrow, I will manage everything regarding your staying and hotels! " I said, she thanked me again & again..

After she left I contacted Abir, because I wanted to give him the cheque.. He told me to come to the beach!

______________________

I went to the beach, he was already present there.. He was sitting on the sand, as I reached him he gestured for me to sit beside him.. I sat beside him at a safe distance and forwarded the cheque.. "I told you, I won't take payment for what I did! " he reminded, "Mr Rajvansh, I clearly remember about your three demands and I promise you that I will fulfill it all. But you have to take the money. You gave a whole week to us , so please take the cheque! " I said , he shook his head negatively..

I folded the cheque and kept it in his shirt pocket, he gave me a side eye look and stood up.. "It's time to fulfill my first demand! " he voiced, I knew it was coming, but so soon? I got up, he handed an envelope to me .. I tore it and pulled out a paper..

My eyes widened, no way!!

"I won't! " I muttered, "See, you are backing out already! " his expression dulled and his voice was gruff.. "I told you that I will fulfill your demands only if I find it suitable and decent! " I pointed, he thickened his eyebrows and stepped close to me. He took the papers from my hand and studied it..

"Two days in a cruise with me! Which things from this felt indecent and inappropriate to you? " he exaggerated, "The whole part! I can't just take two days leave and waste my time like this! " I blurted, he crossed his hands on his chest.

"First thing, I gave you my whole week, second thing, you won't waste your time because it's full of fun and third and the most important thing , I won't be the single person there.. A lot of businessmen, artist and other people would be there, but no media no paperbazzi! No autograph, no selfie. All would be enjoying their own personal life! And I am asking you because I got these two tickets and right now I don't have any partner who will accompany me! " he explained..

"So you are just taking me as an option? " I asked, he smirked, "Only single option! " he pointed , I rolled my eyes. I turned my heel to go back, "Send your car to my house , I will join you! " I announced and left..

____________________

The only reason for which I agreed to him was probably because I wanted to refresh my mind, it has been so long I haven't been to anywhere.. And to be honest I always wanted to travel on a cruise .. It's in my wish list..

I opened my wardrobe and it's difficult to choose or pick a suitable cloth for these two days.. I just can't wear a suit or pyjama in the cruise, right? My own company produce clothes and here I don't have proper clothes for me in my wardrobe except some highly branded suits.. I sighed in distress..

My phone started ringing flashing Mr Rajvansh's name, I picked up his call and then looked at the time.. It's only 10 in the morning, what made him call me..  

I am outside, come soon..

He didn't let me say anything and hung up.. I furrowed my eyebrows in frustration and looked outside through the window.. He waved at me and gestured for me to come over there.. I went down stairs and locked my house first. Jeevika had already left for her flight and as I won't stay here for two days I have given leaves to my househelpers.. No one was there except me..

I reached his car, he came out of it and opened the passenger door for me.. My hands rested on my waist and my eyes glaring at him.. "You told me that we will leave in the afternoon, then what are you doing here? "

"We are going on shopping. I know you have nothing except those boring suits! " he muttered , "Don't you dare to call my suits boring! " I warned him, he bent down in surrender.. I accepted his proposal and got in his car.. It's for the first time I was travelling with a person whom I don't know in a personal level.. I always choose to go with my driver or my family members..

I looked outside of window, he was playing his own songs. His voice is extremely soothing, even though I couldn't hear the lyrics properly at some part, still it's refreshing to hear. He parked the car outside of my factory.. "When we have your own brand and product, then why would we waste our money on other company!! " he stated, I nodded..

We both marched inside, the employees were shocked to see me there at that hour. And I rarely visit this factory, and today I had a guest with me.. Everyone greeted me with a smile.. "Let me choose outfits for you! " Abir suggested, "I have a good fashion sense Mr Rajvansh, I can choose for myself! " I defended..

But him being adamant came with me to the female counter.. Different types of clothes were hanging there.. I was going through some summer collection while he came with a trolly.. "See, I have picked these for you! " he showed me the outfits, I was stunned.. Because we arrived here just before five minutes..

I saw the size of all the clothes and it's of my size.. I gazed at him from top to toe in a judging manner, he ruffled his hair in proud like he did something marvellous.. "I am okay with it! " I mentioned, one of our employee took the trolly from him to package it.. This man knows a lot about me without knowing me..

He also bought clothes for himself.. After that he dropped me at home.. I packed my suitcase, I had some office work to finish, so I ordered food from outside.. Thankfully I completed all my work before the time..

_____________________

We arrived on time, I was a little nervous because it was my first time travelling on a cruise..  "I hope this ship won't be like the Titanic ship! " I muttered, Abir chuckled.. "Then we will be the next Titanic couple! " he added, I glared at him..

"Was it a joke? " I mocked..

"Did you find it funny? " he taunted me back , huh! I didn't say anything.. As the ship started moving I prayed to God for my and other people's wellbeing.. I hope it won't be my last trip. As Abir was saying everyone was completely focused on themselves, rather than poking their nose on others.. We both moved to our respective room and placed our luggage..

They have kept a party to welcome everyone. I am not a party person, but I got ready for the party .. It's better to watch people having fun, rather than staying in this room all alone..

Abir had already left for the party.. I went to the place where the party was occurring.. My ears started bleeding just by its loud music.. People were already drunk, some were making out like there is no tomorrow, some were grooving and others were enjoying their own company.. My eyes roam around to find the particular person and there he was!

My jaw dropped! He was sitting there like he owe the cruise.. His upper four five buttons were opened, he was wearing a blue powder color shirt and and greyish brown shorts.. He was definitely flexing his toned perfect chest.. I shook my head in disbelief and headed to him...

When his eyes landed on me, he took off his black shades and just stared at me with an open mouth.. "You look..... " he could not complete, I pulled out a chair and sat beside him.. "I look? " I asked, "You look different! " he cleared his throat.. I twitched my lips and nodded..

"Why are sitting here in the corner? " I asked him, as far as I know he's a party person. So seeing him sitting there all alone made me ask that question to him.. "If I will do party here, then what would be the difference between my casual day and today.. So I am just enjoying the view, look there! " he pointed his finger towards the sky.. I moved from my chair and shifted to his sofa..

The sunset was worth dying for.. I always admire sea from far, but today I was in the middle of the sea, watching the sunset, without any stress and tension. It's a pure paradise..

How breath taking the view was! "If you feel deeply and close your eyes, you can only hear the soothing sound of waves, not the loud music! " he whispered, I crossed my hands above the railing and kept my head above it.. My eyes closed, my hair fell free on my back as he pulled out the clip .. The crashing sounds of waves felt louder than the music.. The view and the moment were healing something that they didn't break..

I stayed there for how long I didn't realize. It's definitely the best sunset of my life.. The feeling was surreal.. We ordered our food and did our dinner together.. I was actually happy after a long time.. I was feeling light, relaxed and devoid of any burden..

"We have two days in our hands to enjoy, so take a good sleep today! " Abir suggested, I agreed to him because I was feeling sleepy. Today was tiring for me.. I didn't want to miss the amusement of watching the sea and the moon, but I was tired. And we still stay here for two days, so I decided to sleep today..

I went to the bathroom to take a bath, wearing a bathrobe I came out.. Someone knocked on my door, first I avoided it, but then I heard a weird sound.. It was like someone was throwing a person against my door.. I adjusted my bathrobe and went to open the door.. And just when I opened the door, a couple who were aggressively making out entered my room..

They were not only drunk, but half naked.. "Hello? This is my room? " I tried to make them listen, but only if they could hear anything except each other's moaning.. He threw the girl on to the bed and then he jumped on her . "Hello what? The fuck is happening here? " I shouted, but God! They started removing their remaining clothes.. My eyes widened, so I pulled out my luggage and went outside..

I marched inside Abir's room, his room was not locked.. "Wo ho ho? Hello? " he screamed, he was just in his shorts.. "Wo hoooooo! " he said amusingly staring at me , his voice changed suddenly from shock to impressive , then I realized I was wearing just a bathrobe.. "A couple started making out in my room! " I complained..

"So? Are we supposed to make out in this room? " he asked, his tongue rolled inside his mouth.. I glared at him and then he wore his t-shirt like an obedient guy and left the room.. I locked the door and wore my pajamas.. And then I let him come inside the room..

"You take the sofa, I will sleep on the bed! Bye good night! " I didn't let him say anything and took his bed and covered the blanket over me . I could feel him staring at me for a few seconds in shock, but I avoided it.. No way I will sleep in my room.. "Okay you sleep here, I am going to watch free porn in your room! " he commented, my eyes flipped open and I snapped at him..

"I was joking, relax! " he laughed, I rolled my eyes and laid back on the bed.. He locked the door and laid down on the sofa.. "It's better to watch a beautiful girl sleeping, rather than watching two people with imbalanced hormones making out! " he stated..

"If you are flirting with me, then don't try. It won't impress me! " I voiced, he chuckled at my response.. "Girls are already dying for me, why will I try to impress you. This is how I usually talks, " he replied, I rolled my eyes.. Self-obsession at its peak.. I didn't say anything otherwise he would have not stopped and we both would have continued to argue till tomorrow or maybe forever..

_________________

Abir had set alarm which broke my beautiful sleep.. It's 5:30 in the morning, I yawned lazily.. The alarm sound had no effect on him.. But it disturbed my sleep.. I covered my ears with pillow, but that damn alarm was not stopping.. "Abir! Why have you set the fucking alarm? " I shouted, he didn't respond.. Who sleeps like this?

I threw away the blanket and went near him.. His phone was on the table, I first thought to threw it into the sea. Idiot..

Wake up wake up, you can't miss the sunrise..

It's his alarm note.. It started buzzing again and I turned it off.. I went to him and checked if he was alive or went to the hell already.. But he was alive, to make my life hell.. I sighed in distress and went near the window.. My eyes widened, the sunrise was more beautiful than the sunset..

"Abir, wake up! You will miss it, " I tried to wake him up, but he was  in some other World.. Leaving him there I went outside and went upstairs.. So many people were gathered there to watch the beautiful sun rise.. The wind was really cool .. The soothing breeze against my skin felt like heaven.. The sunrays were reflecting against the glass of the cruise.. I was amazed..

No way Abir missed this beautiful sunrise , just because of his damn sleep.. I went to his room after sitting there for one hour.. Yesterday he was the one who was lecturing about party, he preferred to enjoy the view rather than partying just because he do it everyday.. Doesn't he sleep everyday? He missed such a golden moment..

I went to washroom and freshened up.. I didn't care to wake him up, because it's his responsibility. Huh! My throat dried while trying to wake him up.. He was sleeping like a giant animal.. Today the environment around me was really good unlike yesterday.. I was not feeling uncomfortable.. After doing my breakfast I sat down near the edge..

Most of the people were just staring at the sea, only they can say how beautiful the feeling is.. Nature heals you like nobody.. Even though you just sit and watch the beautiful serene beauty, it will bless your eyes.. And we were in the middle of the sea, so it's heartwarming for me..

"Did you turn off my alarm? " I looked back hearing the familiar voice, Abir came and sat beside me.. "I tried to wake you, but you didn't.. What were you expecting from me? It's disturbing me , so I turned it off! " I explained, "I missed the sunrise, why did you do that? " he complained, I gave him a side eye offended look..

"When a human was trying to wake you, you didn't wake up.. And you were depending upon a machine? First question on your sleep.. You were sleeping like a dead person, I literally thought you booked a ticket to hell! " I said in a mocking way, he gave me an unbothered look and roamed his eyes around each corner..

"All the girls are committed here? " he blabbered, "It looks like that! " I added, everyone had a partner.. "Oh, I thought to have fun here! " he made a pout, "With girls? " I asked and he nodded.. I didn't know he was a playboy.. I moved my eyes to the sea, it felt like those waves and me were having a deep conversation.. When Abir moved from his seat, I moved my eyes towards him..

A girl was standing near the cocktail vender, she had blonde hair and she was wearing a beautiful one piece which was falling till her mid thigh and hardly covering her chest.. As Abir moved towards her, she took some steps back.. She smiled seductively and crossed her legs, her hand pulled up the edge of her frock.. I raised my eyebrows in disbelief..

Abir stood just in front of her, "Hey handsome! " damn her voice was seducing, I grabbed my drink and focused on them.. Would they make out here? Abir's shirt buttons were opened, she kept her hand on his chest and trailed up and then wrapped it around his neck.. Abir leaned in, I blinked my eyes in curiosity.. She leaned towards Abir and stood up on her toe..

Just when I thought they will kiss each other, Abir tilted his head and grabbed a cocktail from the counter and came back to me.. My jaw dropped, the girl was shocked too.. She glared at him angrily and left from there.. "You wanted to have fun, what happened? " I asked him, he took a sip of his drink.. "Nah! That girl was not my type.. " he made an unbothered face..

"Then who told you to give her signals? She was literally in a mood to grab your collar and kiss the hell out of you, " I chuckled, "I didn't give her any signal.. I was going to take my cocktail, but she was there on my way.. When I started moving forward, she started moving back.. It's not a signal! " he defended himself.. I rolled my eyes..

"You were moving towards her, of course she will move back! And you literally turned her on with your look, so it's you who gave her signals! " I stated, Abir stood up and took steady steps towards me.. I stood rooted at my place.. His brown eyes stared at me in a way that can make any girl feel week on her knees.. He stood just an inch away from me, but still I didn't move..

"Did it turn you on? Did it affect you? " he whisper-asked, I shook my head negatively.. "See! It had no effect on you. It means there's no efforts from my side as well. That girl was in her delusion! " he pointed, I looked at him in disbelief.. "Just because your walk and your eyes had no effect on me, that doesn't mean you were actually not putting efforts to seduce her.. It's seducing, it just didn't affect me! " I protested.. He pursed his lips.

"Nope! That girl was in some delusion! " he again defended himself.. It made me frustrated because he was not admitting it.. I moved from there and went to other corner.. Some families were there, they were chilling .. I found that place appropriate for me.. I smiled at a lady who just came and sat next to me.. "Alcohol? " she asked me, pointing out at my drink.. I shook my head negatively , "fruit juice! "

She grabbed my juice and took a sip of it. I made an eww face because I don't share my drinks with anyone.. "It looks like you have a great test! " she said, I smiled.. Her hands reached out to my thigh , though I was wearing a pant, still I felt like her touch was inappropriate.. "Umm, this fabric is good! " she said, I faked a smile and threw her hand away..

"Girl stay in your limits, otherwise you will end up praising my heel as well. It will directly create a hole in your milk like cheek! " I fumed in anger , it's nothing but harassment because she was a lesbian and her touch was inappropriate.. I left the place and went back to Abir..

When I sat beside him, he started laughing.. "I thought you will be scared of her, you literally scared the hell out of her! You could have a little sweet to her and could have rejected her in a better way! " he suggested, "Atleast better than you, who literally seduced a girl then came back like nothing happened.. She felt insulted, " I commented..

"Let's not have a talk on that! " he said, till the sunrise everything was good.. Now everything had spoiled my mood.. "Did you call me here to annoy me? Even the people are so cheap. One is trying to seduce someone while the other is trying to harass someone ! " I went inside and moved to his room.. I didn't want to see what those desperate couples had done to my room, so I didn't go there..

I laid down on the slider and looked outside .. It's more peaceful than outside chaos.. "Let's go! We have something adventurous to do! " Abir began, I shook my head and looked outside.. "Come with me, you will enjoy it! " me being adamant ignored him..

"What the-" he lifted me in his arms, "Who gave you the authority to touch me? Leave me! " I shouted and started throwing my legs, but he didn't stop.. "I said leave me, dare you to move further! " I screamed loudly grabbing everyone's attention.. He clenched his jaw and threw me from his hold.. I fell on a sofa, I glared at him and was about to get up when he hovered over me.. His one hand pressing my shoulder against the sofa, while the other covering my mouth. He was not completely lying over me..

His hold was strong, so I gave up.. "I ruined your morning, so let me rectify it. " he said, I still tried to free myself.. "Don't be like a fish, otherwise I will throw you into the sea. Then you will enjoy your time with your species population! " he commented, I glared at him.. He stood up, I gave him a deadly glare and stood up..

"I hope you don't want to waste your time here, so come with me! " he said and started going down stairs.. I let out a deep breath and followed him.. He took me to a hall where different types of boats were placed.. "I can't drive these! " I said, some people were riding these mini boats outside, I have seen it.. "It's easy , I will ride it, you just have to sit beside me! " he protested..

"I don't trust you, what if you will push me! " I mumbled, he gave me an are you serious?  look.. I scratched my neck and followed him.. "You trust me, that's why you are hear! " he whispered, I pretended like I didn't hear it..
