In a Darkroom

Dharmesh was sitting on a sofa, drinking alcohol. Nikkil was sitting beside Dharmesh, serving him the drink. "I hate Abhishek. He is just a servant, but everyone is treating him as if he is the owner of the house." Dharmesh said and Nikkil fumes in anger, remembering his encounter with Abhi. Dharmesh is noticing the way Ragini is treating him, which is making him suspicious. "Something is fishy..."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"The way she treats Abhishek makes me suspicious of her. I'm sure that she is trying to hide something from me." Dharmesh said, gulping a glass of drink and looking at Nikkil. "I want you to collect all the details about Abhishek. Dharmesh said and Nikkil nods.

After Two days

Everyone was assembled in the conference hall. King comes inside and settles on his seat. "I want to discuss our business trip for the foreign project. The clients are coming to India next week and they are planning to stay in Kochi."

"Why do they have to choose Kochi instead of other cities like Mumbai?" One of the employees asked.

"Kochi is a tourist place and they wish to visit it. That's why." King said and everyone nodded. " So, next week, we are going to Kochi. Two members of each department would come with me. Once the meeting gets over, Abhi will let you all know about who all is coming." King said and everyone nodded. Further, he discussed the arrangements and the travel details with everyone.

After Few Hours

Pragya was working in her system when her team leader approached her. "Pragya, you and Pooja have been selected for the trip to Kochi. The trip is on the 12th. So, make arrangements according to it." The team leader says and Pragya nods hesitantly.

Once he left, Pragya rushed towards Disha's seat. "Sir has selected me and Pooja for the trip. Why didn't they select you?" Pragya asked sulking.

"It's okay. Just go and enjoy. Abhi will be coming." Disha said, cheering with a wink.

"What do you mean?" Pragya asked with a glare.

"Do you think that I don't know what is going on between you both?" Disha asked with a naughty look.

"What's going on between us? Nothing..." Pragya lied.

"Pragya, I saw you both at the party and the way you both danced. I'm noticing how you both are looking at each other. You can't fool me." Disha said and Pragya starts to blush, thinking about it. "Aww, you blush?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Of course," Disha said and Pragya smiled.

In King's Cabin

King's Pov

Finally, on this trip, I would get some quality time to spend with Pragya. Due to these stupid projects, I wasn't been able to concentrate on her. This trip is a good opportunity for me to get closer to her. I know she will also like me. Who won't? I'm the great King Singh. On this trip, I will make sure that Pragya falls for me.

On 12th

Everyone lands at Kochi airport. Abhi kept on noticing Pragya, who was looking tired and pale. Even on the flight, she was looking dull and now too. After doing all the procedures, everyone comes out of the airport.

There was a minivan for the employees and a car, waiting for the employees and King. "Everyone gets inside the van," King said.

Abhi turned and looked at Pragya, who was standing there, breathing. Suddenly, she dripped and was about to fall, but Abhi rushed towards her and held her firmly. "Pragya, are you alright?" Abhi asked worryingly.

King rushed towards Pragya and held her from the other side. "Pragya, what happened?"

"I..." Pragya was too weak to talk.

"I think we need to take her to the hospital," Abhi said and scoops her in his hand. King was taken aback, seeing Abhi's action. Everyone is standing there with a confused and tired look.

"I...I'm fine." Pragya managed to say.

"No, You are not." Abhi said in a stern voice.

"I will get the car." King said.

"But sir, you have a meeting with the clients within an hour. It's better if you go with them. I will take Pragya to the hospital." Abhi said and King grits his teeth in anger. He hates it when Abhi orders him.

Reluctantly, King accepts. "Take the car," King said, giving the car key to Abhi.

Abhi rushed to the car. After making Pragya lay on the back seat comfortably, Abhi starts the car.

In the hospital

"I think she has motion sickness. That's why she faints. I have injected IV fluid. She will be fine." The doctor said and left from there. Abhi turns and looks at Pragya, who is lying on the bed, looking at him.

"How are you feeling now?" Abhi asked softly, sitting beside her.

"Better" Pragya whispers.

"Good to hear."

Pragya gave a pale smile. "I'm sorry." Abhi looks at her confused. "For the trouble I gave. And thank you for bringing me to the hospital."

"Nothing is more important than you, Pragya." Abhi said. Pragya was shocked, hearing his words. She felt Abhi holding her hand and smiling.

Both get inside the car. Abhi sets the direction on google map and starts the car. Both were sitting in the car in silence. "How much time would it take for us to reach there?" Pragya asked, breaking the silence.

"Approximately an hour." Abhi said and Pragya nodded.

Abhi was driving the car and Pragya kept on staring at him. Suddenly, Abhi parks the car on the roadside. He took his mobile and cursed under his breath angrily.

"What happened?" Pragya asked.

"There is no charge on my mobile. Give me your mobile." Pragya took her mobile and gave it to him.

Abhi took her mobile and tried to connect to google maps. "Why is the internet not working?" Abhi asked, frowning.

"Don't know. It will usually work." Pragya took her mobile from him and tried to access the internet. "It's not working."

"That's what I'm saying." Abhi snaps back.

"I don't know why it's not working." Pragya said helplessly.

Abhi took her mobile from her hand and called King.

There is no sufficient balance to make this call. Abhi turns towards Pragya with a deadly glare.

"What happened?" Pragya asked curiously.

"How will the internetwork when there is no balance in your mobile?" Abhi asked, gritting his teeth. Pragya gave a sheepish look, seeing his anger. "How are we gonna go? I don't even know the route to the hotel." Abhi said, scratching his head. He took his charger from the bag and put his mobile in charge.

'Aww, he is angry. But he is too cute when he is angry. "Irikki anaichu oru umma tharumo" Without her knowledge, Pragya whispered louder.

Abhi immediately turned towards her, whereas Pragya bit her tongue in embarrassment. "Do you know Malayalam?"

Pragya gulped nervously. "Yes."

"What is the meaning of what you said?" Abhi asked and Pragya blinked helplessly.

"It means..." Pragya stammers and Abhi was looking at her curiously. "That means, what is the way to Lotus hotel."

"Oh..." Abhi nods and Pragya leaves a relieved breath. "Repeat it..."

Pragya blushed and Abhi gave a weird look. "Irikki anaichu oru umma tharumo..."

"Irikki anaichu oru umma tharumo..." Abhi murmured under his breath to register it in his mind.

"Ok, Then, I will ask someone the route for the hotel." Abhi says and gets down. Pragya also nods without realizing what he meant.

Then reality strikes Pragya. Her eyes became wide. 'Oh shit, what if he asks the same to others?' Pragya looked around and found Abhi nowhere. She gets down and starts to search for him.

Abhi went to a man, who was standing on the roadside. "Sir..." The man turned his attention towards Abhi. " Irikki anaichu oru umma tharumo" Abhi said and that man gave a disgusting look to Abhi.

"Prandhan..." The man said, hitting his head and went from there.

Abhi gave a confused look, seeing the man. "Why is this man reacting like this? Idiot." Abhi said with a frown.

Abhi saw a girl and went towards her. "Ma'am."

"Ya?" The girl asked politely.

"Irikki anaichu oru umma tharumo" Abhi asked, showing the road.

Thap! The girl gave a hard slap to Abhi, whereas Abhi's eyes popped out from his socket, seeing her action. She went from there angrily and Abhi kept on looking at her.

"What the hell happened?" Abhi asked, scratching his head.

Pragya rushed towards Abhi, seeing him. "Thank God you are here. Where did you go?"

"The people who live here have gone nuts. Idiots." Abhi shouted and marched to the car and Pragya followed him nervously.

Abhi closes the door angrily and Pragya gulps, seeing his reaction. "What happ..."

"Is asking for the route a crime in this city?" Abhi shouts before Pragya could complete. "Some are looking at me as if I'm an idiot and that girl... She slapped me. Did I ask something wrong?"

"Yes..." Pragya said with a sheepish look and Abhi gave a deadly glare.

"What?"

"I mean they might have felt cringe when you asked them?" Pragya said nervously.

"What is cringe in asking the address?"

"The actual meaning of what I said is 'Give me a tight hug and kiss me...' "

Abhi was taken aback, hearing Pragya. His anger reached its peak.

"Don't you have common sense Pragya? We lost our way. I'm trying to figure it out and is this the time for you to make fun of me? That too like this?" Abhi shouts angrily and Pragya jumps, hearing his roaring voice. "Do you have any idea how I'm feeling now?"

Pragya's eyes became moist, hearing his angry voice."I'm sorry," Pragya whispered with tears in her eyes.

"Will your sorry be enough? Do you know how they looked at me? That girl slapped me. She would have thought me a pervert. And will your sorry change that? I'm embarrassed, Pragya. How can you do this to me?"

"I'm sorry..." Pragya again whispered.

"Seriously... Will your apology change anything? I tried to help you and is this the way you would repay me?" Abhi asked, losing his temper.

"No" Pragya shouts back. "I felt like I wanted to give a tight hug and kiss you and I said that in Malayalam so that you won't understand it. But like a stupid, I said it loud that you asked me the meaning of it. I felt embarrassed to say it and that's why I lied. But I didn't expect that you would go and blabber it to everyone. At least if I was near you when you were asking, I would have stopped you, but you left me in the car. And now I don't know what to do other than asking sorry. I can't change anything that happened," Pragya bursts out with a big sob and Abhi was dumbstruck, hearing her.

He doesn't know whether to feel sad for making her cry or to feel happy, hearing her confession. He turned his face to the other side, breathing heavily. He heard Pragya's weeping sound.

"Let's go." Abhi said and started his car.

After driving for a few miles, Abhi stops the car on the roadside.

"Why did you stop the car?"

"I have no idea about the route and I'm not going to take a risk by asking the route. My mobile is not switching on. Let's wait until my mobile is charged." Abhi said and Pragya nodded sadly.

Abhi felt bad seeing Pragya's sad face. "I'm sorry," Abhi said sincerely. "I shouldn't have shouted at you."

"I'm the one at fault. I should have told you the truth." Pragya said with tears. Abhi sighs and cupped her face, wiping the tears.

"It's okay," Abhi said and pulled her towards his chest. Pragya hugged him tightly and burst into a cry. Abhi calms her by rubbing her back.

After sometime

Abhi and Pragya were sitting silently.

"I want to ask you something. Can I?" Abhi looked at her and hummed as yes.

"I have seen the way you work for that family. It's like you owe them something. Why are you so dedicated to that family?" Pragya asked.

Abhi turned towards her and smiles. "They are the reason that I'm in this position. Even though I'm their maid's grandson, Ragini madam treated me as her son, and King sir saw me as his friend. Ragini madam invested in my education and gave me a secretary post for King sir. I got a reason to live only because of her and I would always be grateful for that." Abhi looked at Pragya smiling at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I think I have fallen for you." Abhi gave an astonishing look, hearing her. "We used to fight, pull each other's leg. In the beginning, I thought that we would never work, but now. I think that we would be one of the best couples in this world."

"Don't you think that you are too expressive and too fast in this matter?" Abhi asked in a teasing tone.

"I'm. I don't know how to hide my feelings. So, I opened it up." Pragya said smiling happily. "Take your time and say your answer later. But... you are my MY HEART'S KING"

Abhi smiled, hearing her. He cupped her face and placed his lips on hers, kissing her passionately.

After breaking the kiss, Abhi hits his head with Pragya's breathing heavily. "God, that was an amazing kiss." Abhi said and Pragya giggled, hearing him.

After Few hours, both reached the hotel.

To Be Continued...

Precap

King came out to the garden area, as he was not feeling sleepy. While passing by, King noticed Abhi and Pragya together. His eyes became wider in shock, seeing Abhi and Pragya hugging each other happily.

Pragya breaks the hug and peaks on his lips and runs from there and Abhi bursts into a laugh, seeing her.

King's blood boiled, seeing them together. His jaw clenched and he gripped his fist angrily. Abhi went to his room, without noticing King.

'What the hell is happening here? How can she love my secretary instead of me?'

"Why does Ragini madam want to transfer all the properties in a servant's name?" Nikkil asks and Dharmesh realizes the truth.

"Because he is not a servant." Dharmesh grits his teeth in anger.

"What do you mean by that sir?"

"He is not just Abhishek. He is ABHISHEK PREM MEHRA. My brother Prem's son and the real heir of this entire property."
