Chapter-22

"You are not gonna answer me, cat got your tounge or what" i said with a smirk, huh she thinks i am one of her toy.

She looked at me with a incredulous expression and turned around her body to leave.

"What the-Khusi i told  you don't you dare to walk away when i talk" i grabbed her hand.

She turned around and started shouting.

"What do you think you are, just because your my replaced husband and now my so called boss so you think you can say anything and i have to answer you like a servant"

Rather than getting angry my eyes noticed the way her right hand was holding her left hand and the blood flowing down her wrist.

"Khusi show me your hand" i  extended my hand to remove her hand  kept on the source of blood.

"No stay away" she said while trying to keep her hand away from me

"Don't act like a child just let me look at it" i said pulling her hand gently.

Once her hand was in my hand i removed her other hand. The blood was running out of the cuts made from the broken bangels.

May be earlier i grabbed her hand too tightly shit i did felt something cracking.

I quickly took out the broken pieces which were stucked into the wound.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Khusi squeezed her eyes shut due to pain. I took out the first aid kit.

I started applying the disinfectant spray over that area.

"Oww!  Are you intentionally doing this to take revenge" she said blowing on the wound.

"What, why do you think i would take revenge on you" i lifted my eyebrow in suspicion.

"For walikng away" she said concentrating on the movements of my hand now spreading the medicine.

I didn't gave her any answer not that she was excepting any  and continue bandaging to bind up her wounds.

Once it was done, i put the first aid kit back in it's place After that i started driving.

The ride back was silent but i looked at khusi once , she seemed to be lost in her thoughts. Was she repentaning over her deeds or was she thinking to find a way out of this to make her money greed self happy.

Khusi pov

The movement of his hand while treating my wounds were so gentle as if the person who shouted at me few minutes ago and the person infront of me now are two different people.

"For walking away"i answered his question still concentrating on his thumbs gently rubbing the medicine.

After he bandaged my wrist , he started driving the car without uttering any word.
Sliding my tailbone as close as i could to the backseat, i put my wounded hand on my lap. 

Looking outside the window recalling the  scene where i saw worry in the devil eyes, it took me back to the time of my First encounter with him.

Flashback

It was almost time for me to take my leave for the day from the shelter. I was putting all the animals back into their cages as it was time for them to sleep. Just then the office phone started ringing , seeing that i was busy my shelter's owner received the call.

Vicky;the shelter owner though We met when we were childrens but he had to move out for his higher studies when we were just around fifteen. I used to have a huge crush on him till this date he doesn't know this but it's all past now.

After my work was done i looked at Vicky who was still talking on the phone. The way his face was twitching and his lips moving so fast it seems like he is having an argument since he was talking in a really low voice  i was unable to hear what he was saying.

I stand near where the cages were kept, waiting for him to end his call. Once the call was disconnected, he looked at me with visibly sad eyes which were arguing on whether he should tell me something or not.

After hestitating for a while he start speaking more like to himself then to me.

"Our shelter is under so much debt after we failed to make any customer buy our shelter animals" he sat on the chair rolling his shirt's sleeves.

" But we applied for loans and you said that the bank will approve our application" i said pouring some water into a glass.

" That's what the bank agency told me yesterday but this morning they called to inform me about a company trying to buy the land on which this shelter is established" he said taking the glass of water i offered him.

I looked down on my feets realizing the importance of the land was much more than the roof over my head. The roof is less costly in comparison  to this land which we are not in a position to buy any time soon.

When i looked up i saw how he gulped down the glass full of water in one go.

" So are they going to sell this land to them than what will we do with the animals, where they will go" i asked looking towards the sleeping creatures,  Vicky never considered this shelter to be only his it's always us and that's how i feel too.

"I told the company's secretary this too and explained him everything directly but.." he sighed heavily and continued 

"he told me  that this land is located in one of the busy street and it's a prime location which will bring them profit moreover they have studied our performance so they doubt we can even pay for the electricity in the future or not"

How curel can somebody have to be for taking advantage of helpless people i thought.

Vicky opened the small cupboard door trying to find something so i looked around the room as if it's the last time.

The shelter is situated on a huge piece of land i believe the company can make a decent office here. Since our shelter doesn't have money to make it big or fancy, we left most of the land as a playground for the animals and only have three rooms. One to the left that's a kitchen,  one on the middle that's were we keep all the animals and also use the corner as a office. The one on the right we have a small store room.

After running my hands on the table i found a business  card which has "ASR" company printed on it.

"This business card, how did you get this"I asked him out of confusion.

"This is the company who wants this land" he said taking out a file from the cupboard.

Nk also works there i mean technically the company is his too. May be i can talk to NK about this.

"Don't worry we will find a way, I'm sure" i smile at him.

"I hope so.. anyways it's getting late,i will stay here for some time so you go home no need to wait for me" he said keeping some file on the table.

After i reached home, I called Nk and told him all these. He told me to come to his office tomorrow, he will talk to his brother regarding the matter.

Standing outside the company's branch office where NK works i called him few times but he didn't pick up so i went inside . People were way busy in their works to even acknowledge anyone's presence, the place looked small due to the jam packed employees.

Suddenly my back hit something hard i turned around to find an angry handsome man looking at me, his facial structure was quite sharp, the hairs nealty styled , his eyes depicts no emotion though  the  way  his  eyebrows  were knitted you can see he was annoyed and his aura demands for respect.

"I'm so sorry" as i was apologizing to the man, Nk came running to me from the other side.

"Khusi!" He stood near me, seeing him the person infront of me walked away.

"Nk i called you so many times why didn't you pick up" i asked him with a pout.

"Sorry, i was so busy. I was talking to  bhai (brother) about your shelter" his face clearly shows I'm about to hear a bad news.

"Okkh but  let me go and talk to him" i cupped his hands  without waiting for him to say anything. I can't just go back without talking to him myself.

"You just saw how angry my brother was and still want to meet him" he said shaking his head in disapproval.

"What, that person was your brother"  i read many things about him but never got the chance to see him or never cared that much about his face. So now i know why their employees talks about their boss being hot head.

" Moreover i told him everything then he got angry at me saying I'm so unprofessional I'm mixing my lovelife with work which is not good for the company" he told me avoiding eye contact with me while leading me to his office.

I sat down on the chair when he went outside to get me a cup of coffee.

Though he never speaks about his brother openly but i can see everytime someone mentions his name NK gets a little uncomfortable but he still never bad mouthed about  his brother showing that he cares and respects him no matter what.To be honest that's what i like about  him the most, being a child who got bored of finding the prince charming of her life. I rather accept there is nothing as fairly tale or soul partner as long  as someone is honest and kind i will accept that love as fate.

Nk never talks about his brother in a bad way even though they  clearly don't have friendly relation. That's tells about his personality so much that i never considered  the topic when  he purposed me for marraige, of weather i am in love with him or it's just an admiration. I believed that i will/ may be end up loving him oneday.

He came back in few minutes with two cups of coffee. After talking to him more about this matter. He assured me that he will definitely  do something and if  needed he will let me talk to his brother personally.

After a few days Vicky announced that he is moving back to Chennai. I was socked as well upset that he took such a big decision all by himself. But later he explained me that how one charity in Chennai  was ready to sponser a animal shelter and that's why on that  night after he  got the news from the  bank agency he worked on that sponser purposal and luckily got that chance.

He was worried that after i got married, my in-laws may not like me working here so this was the best for this shelter and me.

So since the shelter matter got settled i never got the chance to talking to him personally.

Present day

Thinking about the past, i don't get one thing the devil might be business minded jerk but he clearly loves his family so why the relationship between him and Nk was not good. Why i  never saw them talking to eachother when i used to go to their house before marriage.why the devil never attended any of the rituals of his own brother's marriage.
