Paakhi's POV

"Haha ...do you think I'm an idiot?" I ask menacingly to the squirming Khadoos, also known as The Viren Singh.

Who is bound to a chair with his hand-tied and mouth shut with duck tape.

"ahsggshdnnbhjh.. Ummjkahb" his words are muffled due to tape and he is sweating profusely, sweat glistening on his smooth skin drips down sensuously making him look like an actor shooting for a movie rather than a victim and scared.

Stop Paakhi! Focus! I push myself to concentrate.

"Yes! be afraid of me because I'm going to torture you khadoos," I annouce with a psychotic smile and circling around him, I even have a sharp knife in my hand for emphasis.
He is shaking his head from side to side and I'm enjoying it. I'm loving the power I have over him. Just as I'm about to tear off the tape.......

I'm wakened by a voice and abrupt shaking.

"No, let me sleep," I let out groggily, but God is not on my side because the next thing I know I'm drowning because someone just tossed a glass of water at me.

And that someone is none other than Adi.

"Rise and shine baby," she remarks cheerfully. 

I'm so annoyed that I can't torture that khadoos in my dream anymore. I feel like crying because I missed such a great opportunity just because of her.

I throw a pillow at Adi and maybe god is not that much against me because it hit directly on her face and due to its impact she loose her footing and falls down. I stare at her and seriously stared at her stunned for a second but when my mind clicked, A snort comes out of my mouth so loud that Maanu comes busting into my room with a fearful expression but when she glances at our state, she too couldn't control herself and laugh at Adi's Expression and my state that is water dripping down my hair as if a waterdrop from a tap.... 'Tip tip tip'.

After a while, we constrain ourselves and explain what occurred to Maanu before she arrives, when my phone starts ringing on my bedside table, I pick it up and when I see the caller Id, instantly my nervousness spike and all the traces of laughter disappear.

"Who is it?" Maanu asks assessing the sudden change in my demeanor. 

"Pallavi Shekhawat " I reply meekly.

"Pick it up Paakhi," Aditi says when my ringtone 'Heaven by Julia Michael ' keeps blasting.

I'm a little hesitant to pick it up because of the little fiasco with khadoos at Pari's bday party yesterday.

"Hello? " I answer timidly almost prepared to get a remark about our unprofessional behavior, sorry my unprofessional behavior.

"Hello, Paakhi? Pallavi this side," she replies with a very soft and elegant tone. 

"Yes, Mrs. Shekhawat. "I reply still a little afraid.

"So I called to ask if you are free? I want to meet you and Maanya today. " 

Oh god, here it is,  time to criticize me. Why did I do that in the first place? I question myself.

Oh yes because of that infuriated man, I remember bitterly.

I should probably apologize and ask not to share bad remarks about our company. 

"Hello?" I hear her ask and realize I'm silent for a while now. 

"I'm here only," I respond.

" Okay, So if you can please come to the address I'm sending you today around noon? "she asks.

"Okay, We'll be there," I respond and hang up. 

After I hang up, I notice Maanu and Adi looking at me expectantly.
"She had asked us to meet her today at noon at the address she'll send. " I explain.

"So why do you look like you have committed a crime and we are going to the court to seek your bail? " Aditi asks with a raised brow and pouty lips. I really envy those who can raise their single brow at a time because I can't! I have tried so many times but both of my eyebrows love each other so much that they always stick together.

Oh god, my life is so sad!!

"Because I know she is going to tell us about how inappropriately I behaved with her brother and won't recommend to her friends because of my stupidity," I speak apologetically.

"Paakhi it wasn't our fault, It was just a misunderstanding. Let it be. Whatever happens, we are together. We are always there for each other, isn't it? " Maanu state softly.

I nod my head and hug her. 

"Aww, group hug !!!!! " Adi shriek and come jumping on the bed from her spot on the floor and squeeze me between her and Maanu.

But I love it, I love them. My life might be sad but I have the cutest moments with them. I live for them.

"By the way, you guys never told me about this fiasco of Paakhi... " Adi's voice comes from above me where her head lies in our current hug position.

"If you really want to know I think you should first get away from me because I can't breathe here...And secondly, you were upset yesterday because of that interview," I reply empathically.

"Ya let's not talk about that but about your fiasco! " she exclaims giddily.

"Aren't you a little too much excited about my fiasco," I acknowledge accusingly.

"Of course it's not every day I hear about you arguing with someone. " that's true I don't tend to indulge in an argument. I am the kind of person that always tries to do things to avoid such moments.

But yesterday was different, That Khadoos made me lose my temper.

"Adi you come out, I'll tell you everything, and Paakhi you go and change. " Maanu yells walking outside. 

I nod tap Aditi on her but when she stands to hop off my bed.

"Ouch!" she flinches, rubs her butt, and exits the room.  while pointing her middle finger at me. 

I laugh at her and decided to get ready for our meeting with Pallavi Shekhawat.

A/n {Ps:- Paakhi is calling Viren Singh as Khadoos because khadoos
is an informal word that is used for someone who is rude, snobbish, and doesn't seem to care about others.}

Love you!!!!
