Ishaani's POV:

He was personally inviting staff for the party tonight... He was on cloud 9...

I could see that on his face...

A huge tower cake was been brought to the office to celebrate success as Dev was extremely happy that we were getting orders from every nook and corner of the world...from big celebs, socialites to bollywood superstars we were getting orders already...it was only 48 hours and Gaya's was on everyone's tongue now.

We had hit it big the minute we heard a Spanish singer out of the blue planning a rock concert round the world wanted Gaya's show stopper dress for her India tour!!! It was overwhelming....We were global now!

We had the jackpot🎉🥂

Dev looked very happy and was feeding cake to his team. Everyone was given a instant 20% bonus for this big catch.

Only smiling faces everywhere...

While I saw Dev go back to his cabin..

I called him...

'Dev...'

'Mr Kapoor...Miss Sharma.... please look around...'

I turned around to see a bunch of employees moving on the floor...

I put my head down and softly said...
'Sorry'

And smiled.

'Actually I got something for you... while designing the Gaya's latest collection I made some extra effort to get this for you... Please take it...' I said...

And handed over a small packet to him.

'Comeon in' he said calling me into his cabin...

'Can I look into this later...you know about the Spanish singer's concert right... have you got the dress altered to her size' he was interested in his work while I just eyed the packet.

'What is it?' he asked...

Then looks like he understood that I wanted him to open the packet...

He picked it up and tore the gift wrap.

'Sweater????'

It was a full sleeved sweater I designed for him...

'Hmmm... Yup... Bangalore is getting colder... So...hmmm...you keep traveling late night and so.... I mean...'

He starred laughing...

'Look at the thickness of that thing Ishaani...I'll look like a oldie wearing that thing and come on we are not living in Himalayas...it's Bangalore for God's sake and I'm used to it...keep this to you please....'

Just then his eyes widened...😳

While he saw my signature stitched on it...

It was written... Ishani...but...with a D in the beginning...

Making it Dishani❤️🙈

He looked at me at once... I thought he would pull me into a hug...

I suddenly saw his face color change...

'I don't like it Ishaani... take it back' he said...

I was perplexed...😕

He was about to leave while j called him...

'Dev.....' he glared at me...

'I....I mean Mr....Mr Kapoor... You don't want to wear it....it's fine...I know it's old fashioned....but it's good wool... and it's handmade... please keep it with you... I'll feel happy.... please...' I said in a soft voice... He just nodded and left his cabin...

I was feeling that he was behaving a little wierd... Is he avoiding me

***

It was ticking 8 pm evening... We were at a five star hotel's pub in Bangalore...

Entire party hall and roof top was booked for the party...

After all it was a party thrown for the Gaya's and Kapoor Group Of Industries employees and Kapoor's pamper their employees may it be with money or perks.

It was leisure and exquisite.

I had worn a lemon yellow dress, one amongst my own designs of Gaya's. We had our family and friends join. I saw my family join us too... Looks like Saudamini Daadi got them from Mysore... Samarjit Daadu was alone missing... But ofcourse his health was most important

But my family was here❤️

It was such a pleasant surprise...my Daadu and Daadi and parents came and hugged me tightly. My dad was proud of my achievements.

He kissed my forehead while my mom was in tears...I felt she was a little over emotional.😂 I mean come on when I got the young achievers award also she didn't cry. Today she was sobbing.

'Our daughter has grown up so soon na' she said rubbing her tears...

I pulled her into a hug... While my Daadi pulled us into a group hug...

'Oh my God your mother our dearest tv serial ki bahurani (Daughter in law) started crying...stop it bahurani...you are spoiling my Ishu's dress crease...'

I started laughing and pulled Daadi tighter...

Ohhhh how much I miss these darlings of mine❤️❤️❤️

Soon I got another phone call...

'Gooooddddddd' I cringed...

I was irritated...

'What happened Ishu...' mom asked...

'Nothing mom...some company in Canada is offering me a double pay scale than that of Gaya's and asking me to join... little do they know how special Gaya's is for me...

In this short span of time I earned a family here' I said looking around...

While Daadi softly said in my ears...
'And someone special too' winking an eye😉

I blushed crimson pink...

Just then I saw him coming in...

He looked so handsome...he was wearing a black suit... His looks wear to die for...

I was besotted 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰

If only I could pull him aside and kiss him sensously 🙈

I had gone mad...❤️❤️❤️

His one smile... One look...one glance and I had thousand butterflies released in my stomach ❤️❤️❤️

God...

Why is love so beautiful 🙈❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

Just then music started playing... I was expecting him to ask me for a dance but he stood there with his colleagues and friends...

Oh god...why should I take every step in this relationship...

But then...his charms were such 🙈 I didn't mind...

While I took slow steps towards him..

Music changed...

And then I see a few models hovering and dancing closer to him...

He....

He was enjoying it😢

It hurt me...

My family stood there in a shock...

His Daadi was also shocked... He was drinking and dancing with those women...

They were literally on him... He touched them danced with them like he enjoyed every single minute 😢

And I was burning every single second...

His Casanova image was out infront of me...

I had heard about DK... I had seen articles about it...

But for the first time I met him tonight 😢

I was shattered 💔

I couldn't stop my tears... Ahana di, jiju, Archit-Pooja, Rony Jiju-Kisha came to me...

Rony jiju told...' Ishu...he's drunk...you know him na'

Archit also said ...' Yes Ishu...you just say a word...I'll do my boxing practice on him right now...I'll get him by his collar... Bloody idiot!!!'

Pooja and Kisha Di side hugged me...

While Jiju said...'Ill talk to Bhai Ishu you relax'

I held jiju's hands saying...

'No... It's ok... He....he seems to enjoy it....its.....it's fine.... anyways he has been avoiding me...I initially thought it's just in my head...but looks like....
I...
I never saw the real him!!!'

😢

Maybe.... It's not him...
But....

You know what...it hurts 😢coz it's HIM😢

My tears rolled down non stop!!!
I couldn't stop them and ran towards the washroom....
