*Satvik Pov*

"He is still busy in the meeting." That's the reply I got again after two hours waiting.

"Okay! I will wait." I repeated my words and walked back near the chair before sitting down.

I know he doesn't want to meet me and is asking them to tell me these lines. But I don't want to leave until I know Anusha is well and to know where she is.

I need to see her and tell her that I am the worst person. Remembering each and everything during these two weeks along with searching for her made me realize how badly I let her down so many times.

Now, no matter what her brother throws at me, I will be here until I see her. So, I sat like that for the next few hours again lost thinking about the incidents when I found the receptionist standing.

"Tomorrow ensure to intimate my assistant the moment client reaches here." I heard Ansh's voice and glanced up to see him talking to the receptionist.

"Ansh!" I called him when he continued to walk, but his expression before I called stuck me.

"You are still here?" he asked and his whole happy expression changed into a blank one.

Yes! He was smiling until the moment I call him. I thought and cleared my thoughts away before reaching near him.

"Ansh! Is she fine? Where is she?" I asked and he looked around making me realize a few people are still around us.

"We can talk there." He said, gesturing the corner area and I nodded before walking there with him following me.

"What are you doing here?" he asked before I can say anything.

"I need to know where is she, Ansh. Is she fine? Please tell me where is she." I replied, but he shook his head.

"She is alive, of course." He replied, making me flinch with the accusing stare he is using.

"I know! I made the biggest mistake of my life, but... but my mind was running with a thought like my Mom is no more... okay any excuse will not reduce the mistake I did." I said shaking my head.

"True! You know I recently told someone that you just didn't pull the trigger and that's all you didn't do. Isn't that right?" he asked, folding his arms.

"I still remember how she took my coat saying if you see her wounded you wouldn't be able to bare so she wanted you to be calm. You showed how well you bare seeing her wounded. Are you really the person for whom she left everything? She left the perfect job also for a person like you, right? Do you think you are really that worth?" he shouted holding my collar.

I closed my eyes, knowing that the answer is a big no and he released my collar saying, "I want to kill you more than that Laksh."

"You know what? I feel you would have taken the gun from him and shot Anu if your Mom had actually got wounded." His words made me open my eyes.

"No! I would never..." his face made me pause before taking a deep breath to control the anger.

I know how that fast reaction became a reason for me to lose her. I stared at him to see him checking his watch and the door.

"Ansh! Where is she? I need to meet her and... I just need to meet her." I pleaded him, letting all the covered up masks go.

"I sent her away from India. She is living in another country and I will make sure you will never know where. You want to search for her? Search all over the world and find her." Saying that he walked off.

I sat down on the nearby chair, rubbing my forehead, but thinking about one thing made me feel happy. She is safe and even fine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have smiled, right?

And he was lying about her being out of India. His eyes twitched when he was saying that and there was this pleasure when he said to go and search the whole world.

She is here and maybe in this same city. I smiled for the first time after all these days and stood up before walking near the door but the receptionist called me.

"Sir asked me to give you these." Saying that she placed the folder and walked off.

I frowned, but walked out before reaching my car and sat in it. I opened the folder to see a paper and read the content only to go still.

"No! No! This..." I broke my words, not knowing what to even say and just sat there staring at it until I heard my phone ringing.

Looking at the house number, I started the car and drove towards the home not lifting the phone. When I walked into the house everyone are waiting for me.

"Did you find her? Is she fine?" Bhabhi asked the questions that were in everyone's eyes.

"She is fine!" I whispered and stared at everyone's face.

"Congrats! Your wish came true and seems like I helped for it to come true in my own way." Saying that I gave the paper to my Mom and walked off to my room.

I sat on the bed and stared at the wall, feeling the loss. I lost everything... each and everything and my contribution is damn high in that.

"Satvik!" I heard Bhai's voice and turned to see him entering the room holding the paper.

"How did this happen? Laksh is in the jail, then how did his lawyers continue this process?" he asked and I frowned at his words.

"Ansh gave me this. Seems like he made sure they finish the process." I replied and looked away.

"What are you going to do now?" he asked and threw the paper beside me which is the proof that I am divorced right now.

"Search for her and find her." I replied, glancing at him to find a confused look on his face.

"Why? She doesn't want to be with you." He pointed out.

"She is my wife, Bhai." I stated and he just shook his head before walking out of the room while I took the paper and crumpled it before throwing it towards the balcony.

I took my phone and called the company before making our receptionist pass it to anyone who is free right now.

"Jay! Start the advertisements." I started the conversation and he paused.

"Okay! We can finish them, but after that, what can we do? We need clients, Satvik." He pointed out.

"Yes! But let's not make her hard work go waste and return the client's contracts. Let's finish them and we will think of that later." I said and he finally agreed before hanging up.

I searched online for my next goal and finally found one best place before calling them. Finishing that, I stood up to change and sleep to start the next day with all the plans in mind.

"She will be here soon. I will let her know." I said, nodding at the client who is happy about the product we gave him to promote his company.

"She will be here soon? Satvik! It's been two months and you are still saying the same thing to any client who is praising her skills. Until when will you do that? And we just have two more client's contracts to finish." Jay said frowning at me.

"If she had not got us so many when we were fighting Laksh's company then we wouldn't have got work all these weeks." Yash commented.

"She will be here and I am not going to hire anyone for temporary also. This is her right." I said packing the file.

"Fine! We too don't want her right to be given to someone else. But what about after the two client's?" Yash asked frowning at me.

"Look, she will be here. We started this company with good intentions and I don't think any damage will come to this company. We will try for clients by ourselves, but she will be here." Saying that I walked off and reached my cabin.

I sat down on my chair and leaned back closing my eyes thinking about her. I smiled when she returned here after talking to the client's whose work we finished today saying she wanted to have chicken, but this client made her have some sea food which she didn't like.

So, she asked me to go with her again the next day so that she can have what she wanted. Of course, as usual, my first response was no but somehow we went. I shook my head coming out of the thoughts hearing my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I lifted the call and paused, hearing the words.

"Bank account? Are you sure?" I asked, frowning at his words.

"Sure! I need it today itself. Six? No! Send me by seven' o clock." Saying that I hung up, but the slow goosebumps started and I don't know whether I can wait until seven.

Should I have let him tell me by six? No! I can't do that no matter how life needed situation it is. And this is indeed the situation of life.

At seven when I got into my car he called and I immediately lifted my phone asking, "You got it?"

And I immediately everything he said on the small notepad before hanging up. I smiled looking at the address and this is my second smile in these two months.

I shook my head and started driving to the address he gave before stopping near a house at the corner of the road. I saw a light in it and placed my hand on the door handle but stopped myself.

What will I tell her? I asked myself and one answer came and that is to do anything except hurting her.

Somehow I made it to the door and knocked on it, after which the door finally opened, but it was slammed right back over my face.

"Sha!" I whispered, placing my hand on it with the slight glimpse of hers, which I got before she closed the door.

"Leave! I will call the police." Her voice made me stop for a second feeling something alive finally hearing it.

"And?" I asked, closing my eyes and leaned on the door.

"And you will be arrested." She replied to which I shook my head.

"Sha! Please open the door. I need to talk to you. You can hit me when I am talking but please open the door." I pleaded but she didn't budge.

Finally, I saw the neighbor looking at me like I am harassing her and I don't know what to even do. I frowned and stood there in silence.

"If I ever see you again, I will get restraining orders and that's my promise." Her words caused me panic and this time I let my brain rule me.

"Okay! But what about the contract?" I asked and she asked back what contract.

"The one which we all signed for our company. You need to work there for total five years and you just finished one year." I pointed out.

"Are you threatening me?" she asked, but I stayed silent.

"You are actually warning me. Get out from this house right now." She shouted and I can hear the footsteps moving away from the door.

The next few days I waited for her answer and found it when she called the company before asking the receptionist to connect it to the conference room with everyone present.

Yash, Jay and I sat in our chairs while waiting for her to start talking. Finally, she started with greeting both of them.

"I will return, but I want my obligation to be reduced to just one year and not the next four years." She stated making me a tap on the table, but no one said a word.

"My brother is ready to pay the amount that is needed so that I need not work at all for you guys. So, think again before giving your decision." She added and I shook my head at her words.

I nodded at Jay and Yash after which Jay said, "Yash and I are fine with that."

"Now that majority of us accept that I think this can be done. So, send me the changed one soon and I will return the next day." Saying that she hung up.

"She is angry!" Yash stated.

"She is thinking I am blackmailing her to return." I mumbled leaning back.

"Why did you even bring this obligation before her?" Jay asked frowning.

"What else can I do? This is the only connection she has with me at least in her mind." I replied shaking my head.

"Well, we are happy she is returning." Yash said nodding at Jay.

"So, you need our help?" Jay asked, standing up with a smile.

"To win her back? Right now I am thinking this as a chance to apologize to her which is very little for what I did but this will be a start. Anyway's just don't talk to her about me and let her have a normal atmosphere here. Otherwise, she will do what she warned us." I replied and they nodded leaving the room while I stayed there thinking what to say and how to say when she finally comes here.
