Innocent Heart Part 3

PLEASE VOTE, COMMENT AND FOLLOW ME

Author’s POV

Karan entered in the meeting room to see everyone was present there. He saw Rajat and felt a raging anger building inside him but he got his anger under control fisting his hands into pockets and feigning fake smile on his face and met everyone.

“We have a condition to accept this deal. if it is approved by you all then we are ready for this deal.” He started speaking but just then Mahi walked into the conference room biting her lips with embarrassing face and settled in her seat saying sorry to everyone for the disturbance but he didn’t like her unprofessional behavior but he didn’t say anything and started paying attention to meeting.

"If you give 20% of the shares in your company to us only then will he accept the proposal of your company. "

On hearing this everyone started to look at each other's faces and whispers started among themselves.

"But why will we do this???? why will we make him shareholders in our company?" Mahi asked with serious expression.

He gave a glance to her before shifting his gaze on the front “we wanted this because the work of the Khurana industry is of construction. We needed furniture often. When we launch a new scheme by the company, we need furniture, we want our own company so that we can easily deal with and get furniture with time that is why Mr. Khurana wants to invest in your company and become a shareholder. This proposal will not only benefit us but also all of you. For example, if the name of Khurana Industry will be associated with The Agarwal Industry then your sales and reputation will increase and you will get an order for every project from the Khurana Industry.”

They liked this proposal but still they wanted to discuss before agreeing on it so they asked for time to think about it.

“We had no problem with this and I will inform him whatever your decision is. you can tell me till tomorrow.” this was how the meeting ended.

His calculative eyes roamed over them who was present in the room to read their face before moving towards the door but halted in the middle turning his gaze on the Mahi and spatted irritatingly in low tone only enough to hear for her "being late in a meeting is not a sign of a good businesswomen so improve yourself a little bit". 

Her face turned red in anger while her eyes sharpened at his words but she kept quiet pressing her lips in thin seeing him leaving the room while cursing him in her mind “Asshole”

*****

Vishant was smiling unknowingly while sitting in his office thinking about Aashi. He couldn’t stop himself to think about her. He just wanted one thing which was her infront of his eyes. He was feeling to run back and took her here with him.

He was so lost in her thoughts and a constant smile was playing on his lips. He was feeling like stupid teenager who stole a glance of his crush.

Karan barged into his office like always making him raised his head annoyingly to see who was on door who disturbed him but grumbled loudly to find his annoying ass of brother.

“What the fuck is this??” He snarled at him throwing daggers at him, lifting his lips in smirk.

“What's the matter today is my brother is smiling. There's definitely something I need to know too.” Karan said in amusing tone.

He was really amused to see his brother smiling himself and that too with a genuine one which he saw very rarely. his eyes shone something with some unknown which didn’t go unnoticed by Karan.  

 “No, there is no such thing. Tell me how the meeting went???? Stop wasting time on unnecessary things” He suppressed the smile changing the topic that was threatening to broke out on his lips.

It’s not like that he didn’t want to tell his brother about his loving angel but he wanted some time to share with him until he found her.

“First tell me why you are smiling.” Karan was very adamant to leave this topic. He wanted to know very badly.

“Nothing…. It was just a smile. Tell me what happened in the meeting?” he asked him about meeting to change the topic but he knew that he didn’t successful seeing his face.

“Ok…. if you don’t want to tell me now than don’t but I don’t like to wait too long.” He said shaking his head. He knew that vishant will tell him whenever he was ready to share with him.

Karan took a seat across desk on chair. He took a long and deep breathe to start conversion.

“I have told them about our proposal. They will tell us their decision by tomorrow, we know what will be their answer?????” he said in serious while keenly looking at his brother who was thinking something.

“Ok…. you would have draw the contract so that we could get them to sign and start our plan as soon as possible.” Vishant said in his as usual tone while still thinking about something.

“It's all done. Now tell me why you were smiling???? What is the reason behind your smile????? Don’t tell me you a find a girl for yourself” he said in teasing tone while winking at him.

“Shut up you prick. now leave all this and do one thing. I need complete information about Rajat's younger daughter. I want to know everything about her means every single detail.” He put this with some unknown expression piquing his attention on it

“Why do you need her information?? Why do you have to know about her??? It has nothing to do with the company.” He asked confusedly while looking at his brother to find out the reason behind it. He never tried to know about her then what happened suddenly that he wanted to know about her.

“If she is Rajat's daughter then she is definitely related to everything and even so I have heard that she is the life of everyone in the house so I also want to know about her.” He said with so much venom in his voice.

“Okay as you want. But remember not to lose senses in anger and don’t let your anger overpower you.” He gave his advice as he knew there was no chance to stop him so why to waste his energy.

“Okay I am leaving. You will have her information very soon” he said while getting up from chair.

Vishant nodded his head.

Karan left from there.

Vishant gritted his teeth in anger and said in firm and cold voice which could make anyone flinch on their space "She is also an Agarwal I can never forget.”

*****

Aashi was sitting in the balcony in her room in the night remembering the same horrible moment when she met Vishant.

She still remembered his intense eyes which was scaring shit out of her and his dangerous aura which was making her little scared kitten.

 She did not like his behavior at all and frightened as to how he had not left her.

She really scared of him. She never met a person like him who was only screaming danger around him.

“What a cruel man he was?? I have never seen such a vile man till date. He didn’t have manners. How could he behave like that with a girl??? Idiot, Monkey, rude, Arrogant. I hated his behavior” she cursed him in her mind.

She turned her gaze at sky and pleaded to the god joining her hands "God don't ever make meet me to him again. I never want to meet that dangerous man. I don't even want to see his face. Don't know why but I am very scared to see him.”

She closed her eyes but shot opened as his face flashed infront of her eyes “Stop scaring me you, scary eyes”

On the other side he was only thinking about her that till date he had seen such beautiful girls but his heart had never beaten for any girl but there was something special about that girl that made Vishant Raisingh Khurana adamant to know her name at any cost.

Her innocence, her fear of him was making him mad for her. He couldn’t stop himself to think about her.

He was smiling like a fool while remembering their first meeting. He was feeling happy after so many years. he didn’t even know anything except her name but he wanted her in his life in his arms.

He dozed off while thinking about her and her beautiful and innocent face.

Today after so many years he had not seen any terrible nightmare but he was having a beautiful dream with her who smiling at him. She had made her place in his dreams in single meeting.

*****

Days passed, Agarwal Industries accepted the proposal of Vishant and today was the official signing in the Khurana industry and in the evening, there was a party in the celebration of this deal.

Vishant was very angry and tapping his hand on glass wall while standing infront of big glass wall in his office room.

Karan strolled to him shaking his head seeing angry form of his brother. He knew that he was very angry. Damm he was also angry but he didn’t want to destroy their hard work because of anger.

“You need to control your anger. Don't do anything stupid in your anger. I know you can't stand in same roof with that man but don’t forget that you wanted to ruin him in this way.” He came stood beside while gazing outside of glass wall. He really didn’t know how to convince him to stay cool.

“I know what to do??? When I see him everything comes before my eyes whatever wrong he did with us. I lose control of myself.” He said in his pissed off tone while taking long breathe to calm his nerves.

“Whatever it is. keep your anger under control and now come with me. everyone has come. They were waiting for you.” Karan said taking hold on his right shoulder.

Vishant put his hand on Karan’s hand which was on his shoulder. He squeezed his hand nodding his head.

They came to the conference room. They entered and got all attention towards them. It was not new for them.

Seeing them everyone started looking at the main door where they were standing. Those people who was present there never had seen Vishant before. They were meeting vishant for the first time that was why all the people present there were very eager to meet him. All of them want to develop their business relation to Vishant.

Vishant shook his head gazing at them as he knew that they all want to gain attention to him.

Mahi was sitting on couch which was placed infront of stage. She raised her head to look at vishant direction but her eyes widened in shock to see Vishant that he was the same man who saved her life and she met in the showroom.

Rajat and Ajay came to Vishant and shook hands with him while he fuming inside which Karan understood looking at his tight expression that he was holding himself back so he gently put his hand on Vishant's shoulder squeezing it and whispered to him "Not yet brother"

Vishant rubbed his temple to calm his anger and shook his hands with them and met all the people except Mahi who staring at him the whole time with new found joy. She was very happy that Vishant was the same man.

Official signing of the deal was done. Everyone there started congratulating each other. Vishant excused himself and left from there.

Mahi came up to the spot while chasing Vishant which he knew very well.

“Looking for me” he turned around as they reached on his floor making her halt in her track.

“Come with me” he held her hand taking her into his office room and closed the door behind them. her heartbeat increased. She looked at him who was standing infront of her with same charming smile which was enough to flatter her heart.

He came close to her mumbling in deep and husky tone "I said you that we will meet again"

“Why didn't you tell me that you...” she looked at him and asked in him in happy tone. She was really happy to see him again.

“What me???” he raised his eyebrow in questioning manner although he knew what was she asking but still he pretended like he didn’t know anything.

“You are Vishant Raisingh Khurana the owner of Khurana Industries.” She accused him to hide his identity from her.

“Now you know and leave all this. will you go on a date with me tomorrow???” he asked directly without talking lovey dovey talk.

She was very happy and shocked at same time to hear this as she had already lost her heart to him in the first place.

“But we've only met three times so how can I go on a date with you?” she asked making her point. She liked him but he was still stranger to her.

“So what happened????? now let's meet as many times as you like. don't you like me??” he asked while decreasing space between them.

“There's nothing like that. I like you very much.” She said nervously and shut her mouth with her hand when she realized what she had said.

She became silent and now started thinking about what she had said. She blushed and left from here. Vishant spoke from behind “ok tomorrow's date is fixed and I meet you in the evening at 7:00 pm. don't forget.”

*****

Today The Agarwal Mansion had been very beautifully decorated. the arrival of the guests was started and, in the hall, Mahi was welcoming the guests wearing a very beautiful blue color gown.

she was looking very beautiful in this gown.

Ajay also looking very handsome in a cream suit.

Ajay came to mahi and asked "Where is Aashi??? I told you to bring her with you. she doesn't like to have too many people around her. she won't come alone.” He was very possessive brother for his sisters.

"Don't worry….. brother she will come. Janaki Masi is with her." Mahi said smiling looking at her worried brother.

"She has come. Look there" she said while pointing her finger towards at stairs.

She was wearing a very beautiful ankle length light green gown. She left her hairs open and she had just applied a light pink lipstick in the name of make-up but still she looked very beautiful in it.

As soon as she came there all eyes were on her as if she is a princess of any kingdom. Seeing this Janaki mumbled to her in motherly possessive tone "Good that I  put the black dot behind you ear or else today my daughter would got someone’s bad eye. look at how everyone is watching?"

She giggled hearing and roamed her eyes in the hall to catch a glimpse of her sibling.

Mahi and Ajay came to Ashi and took her with them. She happily went with her siblings.

Vishant and Karan were coming towards Agarwal Mansion by car. Karan was driving the car and vishant was sitting on passenger seat while gazing outside of the window feeling fresh air on his face.

 "You keep your anger under control, don't do anything stupid in your anger" Vishal nodded in the affirmative and asked which was nagging him from some days "I told you about Rajat's younger daughter. did you know anything about her?"

“If we're going there. Meet her personally.” Karan said.

After that nobody said anything.

*****

Aashi didn’t like parties at all. she made an excuse and came out into the garden. When she was enjoying fresh air than she felt that someone was standing behind her. she got scared.

Quickly without turning around she started running inside from here because the party was on the inside so there was no one in the garden. someone grabbed her hand from behind and turned her around pulling her towards him. All this happened so suddenly that she got frightened and closed her eyes in fear.

She felt hot breathe on her ears which send a shiver in her body.

She heard manly voice "I am not so scary. you can open your eyes."

She felt that she heard that voice somewhere but couldn’t recognize. she opened her slowly and raised her head to see the owner of voice. He was same scary eyes. Now she was more afraid to see him.

 Seeing her getting scared in this way he was happy to see his effect on her.

"Leave my hands or else I..." she spoke in scared tone, twisting her hands in his grip.

He interrupted her and asked in amusing tone "Otherwise, what will you do??"

She tried her best to get her hand out of his grip but her attempt in front of him was equal to that effort of an ant infront of elephant.

She began to curse herself in her mind that thinking that why she had just come out alone.

Tears started forming in her eyes. seeing which he felt very bad. He didn’t like her tears, he wanted to see her smile which he had seen when she was playing with children in orphanage.

He wiped her tears with his hands and said softly like he was talking to five years kid "I am not a monster so I will not eat you. Now you stop crying.”

She stopped crying but started sobbing. He shook his head at her innocence.

He left her and raised his both hands to cup her face in his hand but nowhere Mahi called him from. hearing her voice Vishant took his hand back and Aashi got a perfect opportunity to run away from there.

Mahi strolled to him who didn’t see Aashi.  He looked at that direction where she got disappeared.

“Welcome Khurana” Vishant turned his gaze on her “Vishant will be fine”

Her lips stretched into smile as she nodded her head taking him with her inside the mansion but his mind stuck on his little kitten.

As soon as Vishant entered with Mahi every attention turned on him who was patiently waiting to meet the big shot in business world. she took him to Rajat and Ajay. Rajat smiled and extended his hand and said thank you for coming to the party to which he just gave a curt nod.

There was only hatred and anger in his eyes for Rajat but he composed himself repeating that in his mind that the time had not yet come. he should control himself or else all that he had done so far will be spoiled. He shook hands with Rajat and Ajay with a fake and forced smile and met the people present there. It was becoming impossible and suffocated for him to stand under the same roof with Rajat but still he was telling himself again and again that not yet.

Everyone was enjoying party. Mahi came to Vishant and started talking to him. That's when Ajay came to Mahi. He asked her “where is Aashu? I haven't seen her”

 "Yes, Bhai it’s too late. I didn't see her either. I see where is she?" she said with worried face and looked at Vishant and told him to come in a little while and left. Ajay also left from there to do something important.

Just then the entire hall got dark with a spotlight fell on Ajay “as if you know that this party for celebration our and Khurana Industries deal finalized. I want all of you to enjoy so we have arranged for a lovely couple dance so you all should join, take your partner and come on the stage and start the dance."

Vishant found it all boring and that's when a thought came to his mind that if she was his partner how good it all would have been. Again, his eyes started looking for her.

Karan came to him and said to him "Come on. you wanted to meet Rajat's younger daughter". 

He wanted to decline as his mind was telling him only to meet Aashi but he didn’t want to miss this chance so he went with him.

Vishant came to Rajat with Karan. Mahi also came with Aashi. Seeing Aashi with Mahi Vishant became very happy and he stated staring at her without blinking his eyes. He felt that his biggest wish had been fulfilled.

Aashi got scared to see Vishant but she didn't say anything to anyone. She slowly went to Rajat and took hold on his bicep and stood as if a child stood up scared of someone.

Rajat smiled looking at his daughter before introducing her to him "Mr. Khurana, you have already met Ajay and Mahi. Now meet my younger daughter Aashi. "

He went numb like someone dropped a bomb on his head.

“How can this happen?? And why did it happen?? How can Aashi be Rajat's daughter??” his minds turned into chaos while his eyes turning sharper with every second which didn’t go unnoticed by Karan so he asked him narrowing his eyes "Where are you lost???”

Vishant came to his senses. He still didn’t believe that Aashi was Rajat's daughter. Just then Ajay said to Aashi "today my baby sister will dance with me" and he took her to the dance floor and Aashi also didn’t say no to his demand as she wanted to escape from vishant’s intense and suffocating gaze. The only thought was going on in his mind that I had to talk to her.

Vishant asked Mahi for the dance and put his hand forward. Karan also did not understand the changed nature of him that he wanted to dance and that too with this unprofessional woman.

She happily placed her hand in his hand and started dancing with him on the dance floor.

He was dancing with her but his entire focus was on Aashi. Aashi could feel someone gaze on her as she raised her head to look.

She looked towards him who was still burning holes into her. She found this very strange so she ducked down her head to ignore his intense gaze.

Only then do all the men started exchanging their partner while dancing. Ajay and Vishant did the same. Mahi went to Ajay and Aashi came to Vishant. Aashi saw Vishant in front of her and tried to leave but without anyone knowing Vishant hold her hand and pulled her closer to him.

Karan was standing in corner and looking at his brother who was doing odd things which he never did in his life.

He placed her one hand on his shoulder and the other hand was in his hand. Aashi was scared when she felt his hands on her waist. She tried to remove his hands from her waist but failed very badly. He knew that she was not comfortable but he deliberately put his hand on her waist and pulled her hard towards him. He didn’t like her struggle to come out from his grip.

He was already pissed of new found information and now her useless attempt was making him more furious.

There were dim lights all over the hall so no one knew what was happening. Aashi didn’t like it at all as she would have never let any boy got so close till date. She was not liking their close proximity. She was hell scared of him.

This was the first experience of her life when someone came in her comfort zone without her permission and more preciously forcefully.

His face slowly went close to her ear while dancing and asked calmly controlling urge to lash out on her in anger “why didn't you tell me about you.”

she kept quiet and she didn’t say anything.

She was irritated with his question but didn’t show on her face. She didn’t get it why he was asking that stupid question when they both were practically stranger. Seeing her like this his anger increased. He growled at her and tightened his grip on her waist. She started feeling pain from it.

Tears formed in her eyes but she didn’t let them fall from her eyes.

She again tried her best to free herself from him but failed like every time. He held her in more painful grip yanking her closer to him. They got very close to each other. There was very little distance left between the faces of the two of them. This increased the heartbeats of her.

" I want to talk to you so talk to me. Don't be quiet. Don't increase my anger any more or it won't be good for you at all.”

He wanted to talk to her to clear his mind but she was not giving him a chance to talk and this was making him furious.

she got even more scared and started trembling in his arms. She knew that this man was very extreme for here. She wanted to go away from him so she decided to give his answer and then left from there.

“W…what do y….you have to t…..talk to me about?" she asked him in her frightened voice. She couldn’t stop stammering when she looked at that man who was staring at her deeply.

"I want to know about you, what do you do?" he asked him in demanding tone. He wanted to know about her everything.

“B….but w….why do y….you have to k….know about me???” she asked him innocently.

“Just answer as much as I'm asking you. Which college do you study in?” he asked in stern voice when he felt her innocent face was affecting him

“E…..Elite C…..College” she stuttered.

Before he asked more question music went off and everyone stopped dancing.

she took advantage of this and run away from him. He looked at her with annoyed expression but didn’t say anything to her.

He saw her going to her father and stood beside him like a scared  kid.

Karan came to Vishant and told him that now we should also go.

He gazed at her and nodded his head.

They both left for home.                   

"No one has done such a thing to me till date so why did he do it to me??" What do he want from me?? Why are you bothering??” she threw herself on the bed and started crying thinking about it like a small child.

She was really afraid of him. She didn’t understand that why did he do this to her??

After every meeting, fear for him increased in her mind.

She cried her heart out and sleep took her in arms.

*****

Vishant told Karan that he wanted to know everything about Aashi.

He was very angry and disappointed with this new found information that Aashi was Rajat’s daughter. in his life first time he liked any girl and she became daughter of his biggest enemy.

He went to his room from there without listening to anything from Karan who was asking him something.

Vishant came to his room and started throwing the things which came in hand on floor in anger and shouted loudly "Why?? Why after all?? This happens to me for the first time that I felt like making her mine. that too the enemy's daughter. How can Aashi have his daughter??"

He sat on floor on knees pulling his hair in frustration. He wanted to turn that truth in lie that she was his daughter.

He took long breathe to calm his nerves and stood up from floor.

"It doesn't matter. She will get the same punishment that all of them will get.” He shouted in anger which rubbing his chest where was his heart.

 Thinking of all this his head started hurting and he took alcohol bottle from cupboard started drinking alcohol.

He drank until he lost his senses and sleep took over him.
