Chapter 26 The deal is off?

Advaith woke up with fading darkness and few sunrays falling into the room through the gaps of the curtains which were still to be undone. Looking at the time in his cellphone, he freaked out as he was definitely late for his office. And his eyes moved all over the room to find the person, who nowadays is indirectly responsible for waking him up by opening the cutrains. The moment she would open the curtains and the tender rays of rising sun falls of Advaith's face, he would wake up and see her the first thing in the morning. But today it was already quarter past nine but Aarohi had not opened the curtains and also she was not on the bed besides him. He then turned around and took the mug of his coffee from the side table to take the sip from it, but immediately scrunched his face in confusion when the taste of it did not go well with him. This is not the coffee made by his wife! Taking a quick bath, Advaith came into the closet and sighed when saw his office wear was already taken out and was kept neatly on the couch. However, after having a look at it, he was sure that Aarohi is not the one to select this for him since she always arrange everything from suit, watches to his handkerchief in a proper manner for his ease. Walking down the stairs with already dull mood, He expected to have a glance of hers' at least in the dining room but again to his dismay she was not there to serve him the breakfast. "Advaith, why did you not wear the clothes I selected for you?", Priya asked as soon as she saw him in the suit which was not selected by her. "You selected my office wear today?", Advaith asked and Priya nodded at him. "What happened Advaith? Why are you not having your breakfast?", Priya asked as she saw him looking here and there, as if searching something. Or may be someone!! "Where is Aashi?", Advaith asked as casually as he can but deep inside, he wanted to know about his wife who was no where to be seen. "She has already left for her college with Aarohi.", Priya replied and Advaith was thankful to his mother who answered his unasked question. "It is good that Aarohi is joining back her father's company. It would have been great if she would have joined our company as she is really talented. But I don't know why suddenly she changed her decision.", Abhiraj said the last line looking sharply at Advaith who looked at him before looking away. "Abhiraj!", Priya hold Abhiraj's hand refraining him from saying anymore. "I am done.", Advaith said after getting up from the chair and taking his coat from the head rest walked out of the house. While here Abhiraj frowned looking at his wife who was smiling looking at the retreating figure of their son. "Why are you smiling?", Abhiraj asked raising his brows and got amused seeing Priya's smile widening. "Don't you see how desperate he was to know about his wife.", Priya said and Abhiraj frowned not understanding anything. "He did not had the coffee made by me. He did not also wear the clothes selected by him. His eyes were looking only for his wife. Abhiraj, it means that he is slowly accepting this marriage and Aarohi in his life.", Priya said with huge smile and Abhiraj looked amused at all this. "I don't think so, Priya. Otherwise why would he stop Aarohi from working in our company.", Abhiraj asked frowning, disagreeing to his wife's theory. "Your son has got your threats, Abhiraj. He is as stubborn as you when it comes to accepting something easily.", Priya said with a smirk and Abhiraj nodded his head in defeat. "I hope he don't take forever just to realize his feelings.", Abhiraj said nodding his head in disbelief and Priya also nodded agreeing to his words. ~~~~~ "Do as I say, Aamira.", Moloy said sternly and Aamira looked at her father with tears in her eyes. "I guess, I only have to do it. You won't be able to do it by your own, right?", Moloy asked with raised brows and Aamira frantically nodded in no. "Dad, please-- Ahh!", Aamira tried saying something but hissed when Moloy took hold of her from her hairs and dragged her to the kitchen. "Next time you don't listen to me and you will bear more pain than this.", Moloy said giving a huge cut on wrist of her left hand with a sharp knife and Aamira cried hysterically holding her hand. ~~~~~ "If you don't know how to work then resign and get out of here. Don't waste my money and time here if you don't want to work.", Advaith's loud voice boomed into the cabin as he threw another file in front of one of the employee. The cabin was all messed with files scattered open on the floor and a huge team of employees were standing in front of him with their heads down. "You all are fired. Settle your final payment and get out of here.", Advaith said curtly as he sat back on his chair and started working into his laptop, unaffected of the employees who were pleading him not to fire them. Rejecting the call for third time, Advaith sat on his chair and pressing the temples of his head threw it back on the head rest as he closed his eyes tiredly. His trance was broken when his cell rang for fourth time and Advaith frustratedly picked up the call and shout, "If I am rejecting the call then I am busy. Don't you get this simple--" Advaith was abruptly cut by the person on other side and after few seconds his hands felt cold and eyes widen in shock. He immediately took his car keys from the table and ran out of the office. ~~~~~ "Tell your boss that the deal is cancel.", Asad said with stoic face and Aman, Advaith's P.A. looked at him shocked. "Sir, please wait for five minutes. I am calling--", Aman said taking out his cellphone and was about to connect the call with Advaith for more that tenth times, but was stopped by Asad. "I don't work with someone who don't value my time.", Asad said getting up from the chair and buttoned his coat before looking at Mike who nodded back at him. Mike immediately took all the files and followed Asad out of the conference room of Khurana Industries. While Aman kept looking at their retreating figure with widen eyes. He had no idea that where is Advaith but he found the cabin empty when he went to inform him about the arrival of Asad. ~~~~~ "Welcome back, Aarohi. This is your appointment letter and you can joint from today only.", Abhoy said giving the letter in Aarohi's hand. Aarohi smiled widely looking at her appointment letter in her hands. It was first time since her marriage with Advaith when she had smiled with all her heart. "Thanks, bhai.", Aarohi said as tears rolled down her eyes and Abhoy frowned looking at tears in her eyes. "Aaru, Why are you crying?", Abhoy asked wiping her tears and she sniffed before replying, "Since the day I resigned from this company just because Abhinav and his family did not want me to work further, I was sad. I sacrificed my dreams, my career, my everything for that guy and in return what he did to me. He just left me in the pavilion of marriage just with a letter that he cannot marry me." "Whatever happened is happened. Now everything is in past. And look at the positive side that you got such family who is motivating you to work further and grow in your career. And Advaith is also keeping you happy. He is keeping you happy, right?", Abhoy explained her calmly and at last looked at her to study her expressions. Aarohi nodded with a small smile and Abhoy clenched his fist knowing she is pretending. But why? ~~~~~ "Boss, Advaith Khurana's girlfriend Aamira committed suicide.", Mike informed as soon as they sat in Asad's Mercedes car. "This girl will be ruining my plans.", Asad gritted his teeth and banged his hand on the hand rest. "But boss, why did you cancel the deal? We could have waited for him. We need this deal to get involved with Khurana's", Mike asked following Asad as they entered the villa. "I guess god is on our side. Now before I sign this deal, I want Advaith Singh Khurana to beg me for this deal. And you know what you have to do, right?", Asad asked with raised brows and Mike frowned for a minute but then nodded with a sly smile. ~~~~~ "Uncle, What happened to Aamira? How is she now?", Advaith asked as soon as he entered Aamira's room and saw Moloy sitting and crying beside an unconscious Aamira. "I don't know, dear. When I came into her room to call her for lunch she was already on the floor. Blood was all around her and her wrist was having cut. Did you had any fight with her?", Moloy asked and Advaith looked at him for a minute but did not say anything. "What did doctor say?", Advaith asked after sitting beside Aamira and Moloy smirked inwardly looking at 'caring boyfriend' back in Advaith. "Doctor has said not to give her stress as she is already weak. Don'tknow but she was crying since yesterday. Maybe because I forced her to meet the boy for alliance against her will, that's why she took this step --", Moloy said but cried dramatically at the end and looked at Advaith who was looking too guilty to look into Moloy's eyes. It was half an hour later when Aamira got her conscious back and Moloy left from there to give privacy to them, but not before gesturing or threatening Aamira with his eyes to carry on the drama. "I am sorry, Aamira. I am so sorry that I did not took our matter seriously and you had to take this step. But now it is enough. I will talk to Aarohi about our divorce today only. And once the divorce is finalized, I will also tell mom and dad about us.", Advaith said hugging Aamira who looked up at her father who was smirking after eavesdropping their conversation. ~~~~~ "Why the hell I was not aware of the fact that Aarohi is not joining the Khurana Industries?", Asad asked frustrated throwing "Even I was not aware of this. And Aarohi Khur--", Mike tried saying but Asad glared him for attaching Khurana to Aarohi's name and Mike immediately corrected himself before saying, "I mean Ms. Aarohi had already resigned from her father's company before her marriage was fixed." "Mike, I need that girl to get what I want from them. I need to get close to Aarohi to get close to Khurana family.", Asad said gripping the glass tight in his hand. After Mike was gone, Advaith took out of his cellphone and caressed the photo saved as wallpaper. A tear rolled down his eyes as he whispered, "I will take revenge for you. I will get you justice." ~~~~~ "Where the hell is your son, Priya? He is not even picking up my calls.", Abhiraj asked irritated as he paced to and fro in the living room. "Abhiraj, What happen? Why are you so much angry?", Priya asked frowning as she couldn't conclude what exactly happen. It was just few minutes back Abhiraj got call from the company saying that Advaith was not present in the meeting and they already loose the deal. "Your son is getting more and more irresponsible with passing days. He did not attend the meeting today. Do you even know what a huge loss our business is going to suffer?", Abhiraj shouted frustratedly that even Priya got scared for a moment. ~~~~~
