Kavya's POV

Next day I went home and took a nap before leaving for Raj's house.

It's the first day today, so I have to take a cab and today I will check the area and from tomorrow I will take an auto or a bus.

I got ready in a black kurti with white leggings and did my usual minimum makeup and took my purse.

I locked my house and took an elevator to the ground floor.

I came out of the building and was surprised to see kabir's driver, Suraj standing in front of the building.

"Hello, Suraj Bhaiya. What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Hello madam. Sir asked me to pick you up," he told me.

"What? Why? I can go by myself," I argued.

"It's an order from Kabir sir, madam. Please, sit in the car." He opened the back door for me and reluctantly I sat in as I cannot say anything to him as he is doing his job.

I have to talk with Kabir regarding this.

He sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

"How is your mom?" I asked him after some time.

"She is getting better, madam. She will get discharged in few days," he told me.

"Good." I looked outside to see the whereabouts but didn't understand the route.

"Is there an auto stand or bus stand near the house, and from there will I get any transport to my house?" I asked him.

"You don't have to worry about it, madam. Sir will not let you go alone." I huffed in annoyance and shut my mouth.

Talking with Suraj will not help. I have to talk with Kabir about this.

In twenty minutes we stopped infront of a house.

Not a house, but it was rather a mansion.

Bhaiya got out, ran towards me and opened the door.

"Thank you but you dont have to do this," I said and got down of the car.

"It's my duty. Anyways, Go inside, madam." It felt odd whenever he called me 'madam.'

"Can you call me Kavya?" I asked him and he chuckled.

"No, madam. Now go inside,madam. Raj sir will call me in few minutes and ask me if I had bought you here safely ," he told me.

Raj sir?

Hearing it, feels so odd.

I went inside and rang the doorbell and looked around to see a beautiful garden.

I was mesmerised by the beauty of the mansion.

How rich is he?

How much does a manager earn?

The door opened and I saw a lady, and she greeted me inside with a smile.

"Please, have a seat madam," she said and I sat on the sofa and she ran inside the kitchen before I could say something.

I looked around to see a beautiful kitchen and then looked further and got confused to see three rooms.

Then I looked upstairs to see few more rooms.

It doesn't seem like he is a mere manager of a hotel.

He looks rich than that.

"Orange juice, madam." She handed me a glass.

"Thank you. Uh-- Who are you?" I asked hesitantly.

"I am Shalini. Care taker of Raj and this house and I am a cook also," she introduced herself and I nodded in understanding as I took a sip of orange juice.

"Raj is in his room," she said and waved me towards one of the room.

"Thank you for the juice." I finished the juice and went towards the room she had shown me.

"Good evening, madam. I heard your voice but could not come outside," he hung his head gloomily as I looked at his leg.

This is my fault.

He has to suffer because of me.

"Once again, I am sorry, you have to suffer because of me," I said as I sat on the bed beside him.

"Madam, it's not your fault and I will be fine in few days but, I am upset that you have to come here everyday because of me," he said making me smile.

He is so polite.

If only his brother was like him.

"Anyways, now we will start your session," I said as I took out my notes first.

******

"So, I have taught you in brief everything that was taught in school today. Now I will leave," I looked at the time to see that it was already 9.30 p.m.

I don't know when I will reach home and when I will prepare dinner.

"Thank you, madam," he said and I caressed his cheeks making him surprise.

"I hope you will always stay like this," I told him and got up.

"Bye," I waved at him and turned around jolted in surprise as I saw Kabir leaning against the door.

"You--"

"Good evening, Kavya," he greeted me.

For the first time I heard my name coming from his mouth and I never knew that my name can sound so deep.

"Uh--G--Good evening," I tried to compose myself.

He is standing there, looking so handsome in his brown suit as if he had just got ready and here I am all messed up and exhausted after sitting for continuously three hours as I am not used to sit for such a long period of time.

"Aunty, did you give her something to eat?" Kabir shouted.

"No. I insisted her to have some snacks but she didn't have anything," her voice came from the kitchen.

Why am I standing here?

I walked towards the door but he didn't move and I looked at him with question in my eyes.

"Thank you for what you are doing for, Raj." He smiled at me and for the first time I saw his smile and it was beautiful.

He looked more beautiful with that smile on his face.

He should smile more often.

Shit!

Kavya!

What are you even thinking?

"You are welcome," I smiled back at him and he was just staring at me.

"Bye." I tried to break the ice and walked past him towards the dining hall.

"Uh---will you join us for dinner?" He asked as I was leaving and I turned around and looked at him.

"It's a family time," I told him as I don't want to meddle between their family dinner.

"Oh. Yes. He must be waiting for you," he mumbled under his breathe.

What?

Who must be waiting for me?

Anyways, I have to talk to him about sending the car today.

"Anyway, Suraj has left so I will drop you to your home," he told me.

"About that." I started and he raised his eyebrows.

"You don't have to drop me or ask him to pick me up. I can manage by myself," I told him and took a deep breathe.

Finally.

"Till you come to my house to help my brother, you are my responsibility so Suraj will pick you up and I will drop you off," he stated firmly.

"And, about your fees?" He asked and I shake my head.

"I am doing this to correct the mistake I have done. I will not charge anything," I said and his eyes widened.

"So, you mean to say, you are doing everything for free?" He asked and I nodded in a yes.

"You are unbelievable. You are giving your hardwork and time for free?" He ran his hand through his hair in annoyance.

Why is he getting so worked up?

"Okay. It is your choice but it will be my responsibility to drop and pick you up," he once again, said, infact ordered and I came to know that I can't win this.

"Bhaiya," Raj called him.

"Wait a minute," he said and ran inside the room and I looked around the whole house and went in the kitchen to see that Shalini aunty was washing utensils.

"You stay here?" I asked and she seemed startled hearing my voice and turned around and looked at me.

"No. I live two blocks away from here. Kabir bought me the house as it will be convenient for me and now, I stay there with my family," she told me.

He bought a house for her?

Here, I am earning money to make the ends meet and he is buying houses for his employees.

How can he be so rich?

"Let's go. Raj wanted to use the washroom but he was too shy to tell you so he was waiting for me," he told me.

Shit! I should have asked Raj but it didn't cross my mind.

"He should have called me," Shalini aunty said.

"I said him the same but he was feeling shy in front of Kavya," Kabir replied.

"Aunty, stay with him till I drop her off," he told her.

"Of course, Kabir. Don't worry about Raj," Aunty said and he walked outside.

"Bye." I gave her a smile and followed him.

We walked towards the car and he opened the backdoor for me making me surprise.

Few days back, he wanted me to sit on the front seat and argued with me that people will think he is my driver but today, he didn't say anything.

I sat in the car and he closed the door and went and sat at the driver's seat and started the car.

"You will go and prepare dinner?" He asked after some time.

"Yes. But, as it is late I will only prepare rice with daal," I told him.

"Your husband will not prepare it?" He asked.

Husband?

Oh! I totally forgot that he thinks I have a husband.

I should tell him the truth as soon as possible.

I don't know why I didn't corrected him on the first day itself.

"I mean, I also don't know how to cook but at least I have a cook," he continued.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I will never let my wife do other work, after she has been working for the whole day."

"That's because you have an option. Some people don't have any option. Speaking of that, how are you so rich? I mean, I know managers earn pretty well but I never knew they can be so rich," I asked.

"My dad was rich," he replied and was quite for some time which made me realize he does not want to talk further and once again we both were silent.

After few minutes we reached in front of my building and I got out.

"Thank you for the ride." I bid him goodbye and was walking towards my building.

"Kavya," he called me and I turned around and looked at him.

"Thank you once again for your time and hardwork. I really appreciate it." His statement was followed by a smile and I smiled back at him.

"Thank you for dropping me off," I yelled and looked around and thanked god that nobody was around which made him laugh loudly.

Once again I waved him goodbye and walked inside my building.

He is not so bad.
