Ishaani's POV:

I finished talking and came back only to see everyone had left...

Oh my god... for how long did I talk?

I saw my watch time was ticking 3:00.

Shit!!! I spoke for an hour!

I saw Pragati alone was sitting there...

I smiled at her saying...

'Sorry yaar looks like I really took a lot of time' smiling.....I scratched the back of my head.

'Its ok Madam...eat your meal...your parathas must have frozen by now!!!'

Just then I noticed Parathas were untouched!!!

I looked at Pragati....

'No one are it?'

She nodded a no...

Oh.... probably Devil liked his broken wheat pulao better maybe...

I somehow lost my appetite.

'Come let's go... Not in a mood to eat' I said...

While she glared at me saying...
'Idiot atleast eat something!!!'

I quietly took a lemonade and went upstairs...

Just then I remembered we had a meeting at 3:00 to discuss the reports we received from the fabric test.

We rushed to the meeting room. While meeting had already begun.

I was slowly sipping through the lemonade...

While I felt two eyes shooting daggers at me...

I quickly looked at that direction.

It was him!

He kept looking at me intensely while I started feeling concious!!!

I probably must not drink the lemonade I guess I thought!!!🙄

I kept the glass down!!!

Soon the meeting got over...

And before anything could be discussed further he announced that they can have a reconvene on this at 5 pm...

And he ran out of the meeting room!!!

Lankesh went behind him...

I and Pragati also rushed out ..

He went to washroom...

He came out after sometime... while I saw Lankesh pat his back...

He left to his cabin while Lankesh came back to meeting room.

I stopped Lankesh to ask...

'What happened Lanki? Is he ok?'

'Eyyy...Ya Ishaani... Looks like DK had a lot of coffee... Acidity must be!!!! He said he will take some rest' he said...

'I told him to eat something... Crazy man...8 cups of coffee since morning and didn't eat anything...this was bound to happen' she said...

While I was shocked 😲

'He didn't eat anything??? That broken wheat pulao' I asked Pragati...

'Come on yaar... It's tasteless in cafeteria... He didn't eat anything...' she said

While I quickly went to my cabin...

Picked the tiffin box and knocked at his cabin...

'Yesss' he said while still putting his head down on the glass table!

'Ummm... Mr Kapoor... May I come in' I said softly...

He lifted his head and looked at me...

His eyes were red!!!

Probably he was in too much pain.

I walked towards the glass table and kept my tiffin in front of him.

He looked at the tiffin and then looked at me...

'Eat!!!' I said...

'Its ok...I'm not hungry...' he said and started typing on his laptop!

I looked at him! I was getting really angry!

Tantrum king!!!

I opened the tiffin and kept it in front of him.

He gritted his teeth and said...

'I said I am not hungry'

I gave a solid glare and said...

'Enough...eat now! You must take this tablet too after your meal!!! You have had a lot of coffee... It doesn't suit you...you get acidity...then you puke...then you go weak...then you don't sleep entire night! So just Shutup and eat!'

I said it all in one go...

While he lifted his head and looked at me intensely...

I suddenly felt concious...

'So you remember?' he asked...

'Mr Kapoor...it doesn't matter.. please eat it...' I said while opening the raita and green salad too...

'It does matter!!! It does!!! I just want to know how a person can still think of that person who hurt her the most and blamed nonsense shit when she quietly took all the blames and left! ' he said...

'Mr Kapoor... Please... I don't want to discuss about past! Please...it's non existent!' I said firmly...

'If so why do you ignore me Ishaani? You don't talk to me properly... Behave properly...see me... Be with me... I know...I know I have been an asshole...a dick literally!!! But can you once please.... for once forgive me!!!

I know...I have no rights to even ask you for forgiveness...

I know you have moved on in life...

But I feel....I am still stuck there...

At that same point where you gave that statement in press...

Took all the blame...

And

Left!!!

Quietly...

Without telling anyone...

Without asking anyone...

I.....I couldn't be at peace since that night for once Ishaani...

I know... We can't be friends...

But this discomfort is killing me!!!

Please....

For once say you have forgiven me'

He said holding my hands in his hands...

I...I was speechless...

I didn't know what to say...

'Mr Kapoor...it's fine... I....I am not thinking about it ..

It's all in the past...

Please... please eat something...

Your acidity will worsen...'

I said while he held my hands and started sobbing...

I closed my eyes tightly to control myself from breaking down...

'Dev'

I called him...

He looked at me ...

'Please eat' I said and took a small piece of paratha near his lips...

He opened his mouth while still looking at my eyes...

'Its delicious' he said...

I smiled 😊...

While he saw the tiffin was untouched...

'You didn't eat? Please have some...'

He came to feed me...

While I got up at once saying...

'I will eat snacks at 4. And started sipping the lemonade'

He smiled...

And started eating the parathas while I noticed his swollen knuckles...

I asked him what happened...

He said he was practicing kick boxing so he got injured.

In no time he finished my tiffin happily.

I looked at him and smiled and started packing up the tiffin...

While I said...

'Mr Kapoor'

'Ummmm...' he said glaring at me...

'Ok... Dev... '

He smiled...

'You...must learn to be more responsible now Dev... Everyone grows up with time... You must also learn to be more mature....

I know you are very good at handling Gaya's...

But you should be more responsible towards your family...

Now that you have such a cute little kid..you must learn to take care of yourself and your health better!!!'

I said by closing both my tiffin boxes and I saw his eyes ...

They had widened in shock
