14. REALITY SUCKS

................. πŸ«€βœ¨πŸ¦‹

Kya kahu

Aankho ne meri sab keh diya

Ek tu hi

Jeene ka matalab hai piya

Ab saanse chale na chale kya fikar

Tu chale to sath to

Khoobsurat safar

Teri baahon me

Mera jahaan...

Ke rang lagya Ishq daa...

Aakriti's POV

I unlocked the door of my penthouse and entered in.

" Mishti ? "

I called her name. But getting no response I thought she isn't back yet.

She told me that she is going to meet someone to discuss something related to her company.

As she's starting a branch of her company here we had already decided that we're going together to see the land.

Removing my heels I landed myself on the couch in the living room. My eyes landed on my wounded elbow with a bandaid on it.

Not gonna lie but I did feel bad for him. I am sure he must be wounded. The wooden block was looking heavy and I saw the way he was controlling himself to not show the pain on his face.

I then looked at his handkerchief tied around my palm. Slightly covered in blood. I felt so tired to remove it.

How the fvck I'm getting tired without doing anything these days ?

I felt so empty. I don't know why but I was feeling like I'm getting hollow from inside.

And somewhere it's true. I had nothing in me. No feeling no emotions. I don't feel anything else than emptiness.

This isn't me.

This isn't how was I before. But lol !! I was even worst in past.

What a pathetic life I'm living. Just wake up, get ready, go to the office and work, Get back to home and eat then sleep and repeat.

This isn't how I was supposed live my life. It feels like I'm just counting on the days. just watching the day passing and doing nothing else still getting tired as heck.

My thoughts got disturbed when I heard my phone ringing. I sighed looking at the call ID.

" Yes nani " I said.

" Nothing just reminding you that you have a house to come. Don't get stucked in that penthouse. " I rolled my eyes her statement.

" I'm not alone here " I said.

" That I know. But tell me once thing. "

She said and I hummed.

" Why you had buyed this much big mansion when you had to stay in that penthouse only ? "

" For you guys. So that you can live comfortably there. " I said.

" We'll be more comfortable if my granddaughter had some time apart from her work to spend with us. " She said referring to me.

I couldn't answer her question cause I didn't had any answer.

" Nani kaam bahot badh gaya hai. Saare naye clients ko deal jald se jald final karni hai. "

( Nani, work has been very much increased. All the new clients wants to get the deal finaled as soon as possible. )

I said the truth.

" Are aag lage kaam ko !! Ye kaise kaam hai tera ki tu chain ki saans tak nhi le paa rahi hai. Khud malkin hai phir bhi sab kaam apne sar pe chadha ke baithi hai. "

( Let the work go to hell !! Which type of work you're doing that you couldn't even breathe peacefully. You are the boss but still you had taken all the work load on yourself )

She said sensing the tiredness in my voice. And I know where this conversation was going.

" Nani the boss have to monitor everything personally so that the employees do their work properly. "

I tried to make her understand. And like always she said.

" Okay okay now don't teach me your business strategies ! " I chuckled at her words.

" Leave all that !! You both come here tomorrow. Deewali ki safai me help kara Dena. "

( Do the help in deewali's cleaning )

Who'll say she is the grandmother of one of the most earning CEOs of the country

" Uski tension aap mat lo. I'll hire a team of cleaners and decorators like every year "

( You do not worry about that )

" Matlab tune than liya hai ki apni uss char deewari me hi zindagi bitani hai "

( Means you have decided like you'll spend rest of life in that four walls (penthouse) )

For God sake it's the most expensive and luxurious penthouse of the city !

I sighed thinking there's no way to make her understand. I love my personal space and being alone is peaceful for me.

" I don't think I can make you understand my point nani. Let it be. " I said and hung up the call,Switching my phone off.

Why people can't understand ? I have my own reasons to stay here.

First it's in my office building so I do not have to travel a long distance at daily basis.

Second my most of belongings are kept here. Which isn't a problem.

Third, I don't want to be with anyone. I don't know why but I am afraid of people, with their fake faces and with their fake personalities. I'll never know when they'll proke a knife on my back. I just can't trust anyone.

They are just connected with me for my money. And they're just hanging on the edge to leave me at any moment. I doubt that if I die suddenly someday they'll be more interested in my property that my funeral.

And honestly I don't care about that. Take all my money but at least let me leave peacefully.

My family is expecting to me get married and settle down and that's the last thing I'll ever want to do.

I had seen marriages getting shattered right infront of my eyes. I had seen people get destroyed because of someone they loved.

And you'll never know who is hiding behind the shadows silently planning your death.

" Kriti !! I'm back-" I came out from my thoughts at the cheerful voice of mishti.

She came in my direction with a confused face.

" But why are you sitting like this. " she asked.

" Just got tired. " I replied and saw her sitting beside me.

" I think you're working more than required. Why don't you and me go on a relaxing vacation ? " She proposed her idea.

" The thing is I didn't did anything today still my body is aching like a bitch. I don't think I can go any vacation this month. "

" Why ? " She asked removing her heels.

" Because I'm going on 2 foreign business trips this month " I said.

" Woah ! And where so ? " She asked.

" First in california and second in new york. " I replied.

" You'll go alone ? "

" I do not think so. I'll probably go with the manager of my company, my PA and of course my bodyguards "

Her eyes lit up at the mention of manager.

" Okay I'm also coming ! " She said excitedly. I chuckled at her.

" And why so ? Don't you have to work on opening you company's new branch. I thought you were serious. " I said with a smirk.

" That can wait. I'll use your money and up to that I don't think I'll get another chance for a trip with him so why miss this golden opportunity. " She said with the same smirk.

" You know I feel bad for poor shreyansh.

You're really troubling him now. I saw you in the funeral and morning too " I said and her eyes widened with shock.

" You should be glad that a girl like me likes him. It's his good luck that he met me. " She said with pride.

Self obsessed bitch !!

" Yes of course. He's lucky. " I played along with her.

" Okay leave all that. See what I brought."

She said small opening a box revealing a pair of bracelets.

" I got it customised for us. " She said happily grinning. I saw our names carved on it.

" Gimme you hand. " She said and I forwarded my hand chuckling at her happiness.

That's the thing about her. She got happy on little things.

" Wow it looks so pretty " she said after locking the bracelet on my wrist. I smiled and made her wear the other one.

" Looks beautiful " I muttered looking at our hands.

" Yeah !! Let's click a photo, I'll post on instagram " she said.

" Sure " I replied and we both clicked pictures of our hand and she posted it on her Instagram account.

Social butterfly ! She is very active on social media unlike me who hadn't checked my account from a month.

It must be floating with notification. I do not post anything. Just opened an account for sake. Still I'm amused after seeing my followers.

23 millions are damn !

" Let's order something. I'm hungry. " Mishti said rubbing her tummy.

We ordered mashroom salad platter and oats for us.

We both were tired so we directly landed ourselves in bed after eating while doing our stupid talks.

Not me. She talks stupid.

We also decided to pay a visit to Nani as she wanted to meet mishti. I knew she would have called her.

Shutting all my thoughts I closed my eyes cuddling the only person I have.
