𝑹𝒖𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒉 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒉 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒆 --

Not everyone is lucky enough to find the one who makes you realize the thing which has been missing from your life until they arrive. I found mine.

Parinidhi Gupta. She is mine the day I laid my eyes on her, the day I held her waist and the second I looked into her eyes. Mine. I'll make sure she knows that.

She made my whole life upside down just with her glares and smirks. She is a lot unique and a whole masterpiece.

I appears differently each time we met, a fiery queen to a mature woman. And I'm liking her every side, I like her mood swings to her cravings, her glares to her frowns, her brown wavy to her painted nails. I like every bit of her to the point it scaring me.

She is a woman who is confidant yet mature. A woman who know the difference between being a bitchy brat and a sassy woman. She is everything which I have been searching in my whole life.

A woman who speaks her mind, who is never afraid of anyone, who wears an invisible crown on her head, who never bends her head infront of anyone. Not even me. Behaves like a fucking queen and the major turn on is when she glares, right looking dead in my eyes.

People fear me seeing my status, power and authority, they see me as one of the Rathore but they never saw me as a Rudransh. Just Rudransh. When ever she speaks with mischief a chill run in my body. She is someone who sees me in the way, which I'm willing to hide from the world.

Her mischievous brown eyes stare into mine with a lot of curiosity like she is searching answers for the question she is not aware of.

"Thank you for the food and meds" I looked at her beautiful face and her eyes big brown eyes which test my last drop of sanity, are struck on my brothers. Her so called friends! If it's not about the phone call of the important clients, I would have ate my dinner with her. Happily, this stupid work had to ruin my plans. 

She is having a hard time standing on her feet. The guard has arrived with a pair of comfortable foot ware for her. I took a step towards her but fuck. She smiled. SHE SMILED but, she smiled while looking at them? wait, Aren't I the one who carried her around? took care of her like a gentleman. Why is she smiling at the good for nothing brothers of mine? 

Oh god, her dimples popped out. How can she be real? She is looking ethereal like a fairy fallen from the heaven. Pari.

Whoever had named her, they named her right.

Her deep brown orbs and her dimples are the deadly combination. Does she want to kill me now? when did I become so utterly cheesy and jealously type. As much as I tried to control an unbearable urge to hide her from the world so that, only I can look at her smile and admire her, I couldn't control.

I quickly walked towards her and lifted her in my arms in the bridal style. She weights like nothing, not a bit heavy. I walked towards my cabin without saying anything. She is silent as well but her phone started to ring in her purse.

She answered the call with the thin eyebrows. I couldn't hear anything but I stopped on my tracks after seeing her face going pale. Pale as white. What happened? I wanted to ask but a unknown fear crawled in my heart seeing her blank face making the words die in my mouth. She is not reacting.

"I'm C-coming" She spoke before hanging up. Did she just stutter? 

The phone in her hand slipped from her hands, that's when I saw her hands shivering. She wiggled from my arms and stood straight on her feet, like she never had her ankle sprained.

"What happened?" I asked but she ignored me and picked up the phone which is laying on the ground. She quickly dialed a number and started speaking. 

"Ms. Pooja. Contact the MLA with whom I had a meeting a few weeks ago and connect me." She is breathing heavily and her hands are shaking a lot. Sweat beads formed on her forehead. Despite of her trembling, she maintained her steady posture. 

"Mr. Sharma. You have got a chance to Repay me for all the favors I have done till now, I need a chopper right now and send a bunch of well experienced doctors to the Delhi National hospital for patient Rakesh Gupta in 5 minutes." She ordered while walking around the room.

I can feel the tension radiating from her body. Not being able to hold the last string of patience I held her arm. She glared at me, the most deadliest glare she ever gave. But the unshed tears in her eyes telling me a whole different story.

Is he perhaps her father?

I quickly dialed my secretary to arrange a few well known doctors and send them to National hospital in Delhi. She has to be quick, she has always been. I looked at Pari to see her lips are trembling with the emotions.

'You think I'll give a fuck about your situation? If you don't want me to reveal the 300 crore scam you have done to the police just do what I say. You get it" she shouted and hang up frustratedly. 

"I've already sent some doctors there. and about a chopper, the weather is not good, we have to wait"

And then the volcano erupted.

"Who the hell are you to do that? Did I ask you to do? No right? so stay the fuck away from my personal matters. You are no one to take any decision which are related to me" She shouted while breaking the vase present on the table. I didn't miss the lone tear rolling down her cheek which she wiped immediately. 

She is crying. My heart clenched at this. She is not someone to cry if she is then It must be so important. I clenched my jaw in frustration.

I nodded at her while she stood breathing heavily in front of me. I can see my brothers entering the cabin, they must have heard the loud noises.

"Friend" I muttered softly. She gave me a confused look then I added

"I'm you friend remember?" She gave me a hard glare and looked away while calling someone.

As much as I got to know about her, she is not good at expressing herself. The only way she does it is by showing anger. Now she is worried, concerned and scared and all she is showing outside is anger.

Meri Pari...

I chest tightened seeing her. I just wanted to take her in my arms and assure her than nothing will go wrong.

"Stay with Sanjana today. Make sure she doesn't know anything about the accident. We will tell her tomorrow." She ordered someone and hang up the call. She looked outside where it is raining heavily.

I badly wanted to snatch the phone from her hand and shout that she doesn't have to ask anyone else for any help when I'm right infront of her. I can burn the whole goddamn world if she wished to, I can make every fucking thing which can help her in this situation but I choos to stay silent. This is not the right time and she is not in the situation to acknowledge me.

"I'm coming. we will go straight to Delhi" She said. It must be her driver. She is insane!. How can she think that she can travel from mumbai to delhi in this heavy rain that too at night?

"Wait" who I'm I kidding? she didn't listen and started walking towards the elevator. "Ms. Gupta" I called again running behind her.

I feel so pathetic to run after someone. I'm Rudransh Singh Rathore, who has the world under his feet is running behind the woman who is not giving a damn to my words.

When did I become like this? A lovesick puppy.

I took heavy and fast steps towards her. The elevator doors opened. Before I can hold her arm, she was fast enough to walk inside the elevator. With a quick run, I entered the elevator behind her.

"Ms. Gupta. Wait for an hour. Just an hour then you will reach Delhi a lot earlier than by a car" I said but again she ignored. She closed her eyes tight and leaned on the elevator wall. 

"Ms. Gupta. You can't reach Delhi in this weather. Think practically. Don't let your emotions control your decisions" I said again, desperately. I can't risk her safety by letting her travel in this weather. 

I had never seen someone who didn't follow my orders or should I say, who never dared to ignore my commands except this woman of 5'6 who looks like a fairy with an attitude of devil.

I know she must be worried for her father but going at this time by a car in heavy rain will make you reach nowhere.

The elevator door opened and she walked out with a slight limp. I looked at her bare feet which turned red and swollen making me groan.

My phone pinged with notification. I looked at the message sent by my secretary about her father's condition.

Without thinking anything I ran towards the devil. Coming infront of her while blocking her way, I bent down and lifted her while wrapping my hand around her thighs. 

"The fuck" She cursed loudly when I settled her on my shoulder. Enough of her stubbornness, I walked again inside the elevator with a wiggling Pari in my arms. She punched me on my back, really hard.

"I just checked upon your father! He is okay, he just got a little wound on his head, he is stable and perfectly fine. No internal injury and is resting under the effect of drugs. Just calm down. You just can't walk around risking your safety. Your father won't be happy hearing this."

I sighed completing the words my secretary messaged me just now. We reached my cabin and my brothers are not here, they must be checking upon the weather forecast to start the chopper. This is what I love about them. They know what I'll be going to ask.

I sensed her not responding in my arms. I slowly made her stand on her feet,only to see her glare towards me. Her eyes are still red with anger and unshed tears.

Before she can open her mouth and shout something, I pushed her on the chair, making her gasp and quickly tied her hands with my tie. Tightly. Her eyes widened at my action.

"Are you out of your mind?" She shouted.

She tried to get up but I didn't let her. I tied her Right leg to the chair.

"You better untie me right at this moment or you won't like the consequences" She threatened me while breathing heavily.

Ignoring her I applied the cream on the swollen part of the left leg. It is swollen a lot. It must be hurting like hell and she is too stubborn to accept.

"Untie me, Asshole. I'll kill you dammit" She shouted. I very well know the consequences for my actions. Sighing I spoke calmly

"As much as I like to hear your voice when you talk, I had to do this. You didn't leave me with any other choice."

Saying it I placed the tape on her mouth, plastering her lips. I pressed my lips seeing her glare. When did I started fearing someone?

"Seems like you have a death wish" My conscience taunted looking at her murderous glare.

Well. I'm in danger and I would love to be when she is the one who is attacking me.
