Don't Leave Me #1

*Two years back*

"So you love my daughter?" Mr.Harsha Gupta asked him.

"I do, sir!" Suhas Agarkar replied.

"But I don't accept you for my daughter at all." Mr.Harsha said getting up.

"Why?" Suhas asked, confused and pestered, for some time to tell him the reason.

"You already know the answer for that Suhas. We all know what your father did." Mr.Harsha didn't want to talk about it, but he doesn't have any other option.

"But I will never behave like him, and you must trust me." Suhas pleaded.

"If my daughter didn't say that you are a good friend to her, then I would have not even talked to you like this." Mr.Harsha said looking at his daughter.

"This is about my daughter's life, and I think all this love will be forgotten after some time. Then you will take your father ways." Mr.Harsha added in surety.

"I will love her even after many years. I know she doesn't love me, but I love her so much." Suhas said confidently.

"Then prove it! Don't meet her or any one of us for two years. Don't get in contact with us and also know anything about us. And even after that if you still love her, then I will accept." Mr.Harsha said after a few minutes as he doesn't have any other choice because both may even take a big stupid step if he rejects sternly.

"I will prove it to you sir. In the meantime, I will work hard to set a better life for her." Saying this Suhas left that house.

Innocent to all this Navya entered the house after looking at the retreating figure of Suhas.

"Kavya Di! Why is your friend leaving the house in such a hurry?" She asked when she saw her whole family sitting in the living room.

Before her Di can reply, her father said, "Kavya! I am going to get some matches for you."

"But Dad! That is wrong and not fair at all." Kavya said in shock.

"I will protect my daughters no matter what will happen. And I know this is the best thing to do for you." Saying this he along with his wife Radha went inside their room.

"Kavya Di! Do you love someone?" I asked the innocent Navya looking at the way Kavya flopped herself on the couch.

"No Navya! But I am loved by someone." That's the only reply Kavya gave her.

Even though Navya is 20years old and just three years younger than her sister, she is the naive one and knows nothing but good in this world.

She doesn't know that the incident to which she is not even present will make her nothing but a victim in the future.

*Navya Pov*

"Can you believe it Divya? I finally got it. I am so happy." I shouted, laughing while holding the phone to my ear.

I saw people on the street looking at me like I am crazy, but I ignored them completely because I am so happy.

"That's great Navya! And by the way, I can hear even if you say it in a low tone." She said.

"Sorry!" I said sheepishly and started talking to her about her day.

When I finally reached my house, which is completely on the corner of the street, I saw some big car parked in front of my house.

"So party?" Divya asked when I opened the gate.

"Yeah! You just come home, and I will cook some specials for you." I replied smiling.

"Navya! Please I know that you 're amazing at that, but I want the party as in the real party. Let's go clubbing!" This time she shouted.

"Clubbing? No way! I never went there, and I am not planning to go there." I said walking towards the door.

"There is always a first time for everything." She said, and I am sure she must be rolling her eyes.

"Hey! I will talk to you later. I just reached my home." I said, hanging up the phone.

I just looked up to find someone coming outside with a cold look on his face. I observed even more and by the time he reached near me, I am sure who he is.

"Excuse me?" he asked without looking at me then I realized that I am on his way.

"Hey! You are Suhas right?" I asked him and then he looked at me.

For one second, he looked shocked looking at me, and then he composed himself, saying, "You are... Navya right?"

"The one and only." I said smiling.

"You just look like her." he mumbled with a frown.

"Everyone says the same thing. Where did you disappear? I didn't see you for these two years." I asked him.

"Just busy!" he replied shrugging.

"Did you meet Di? She must be so happy after meeting her best friend." I said excitingly.

His face suddenly turned completely hard, and he just snorted saying, "Totally!"

With that, he stepped beside me and left the house without turning back at least once. What's wrong with him? I thought, frowning.

I shrugged and went inside opening the doors slowly. Then I saw both Mom and Dad along with Di and also my favorite person is there, sitting on the couch with frowns on their faces.

"What happened to you four? Anyway, if you hear this news you all will be so happy." I said beaming.

"What news, Navya?" Jiju asked, smiling at me.

"I got promoted!" I replied jumping.

"Stop jumping, Navya. You are 22 and don't forget that." Mom scolded.

"I am not 22. I am going to be 22 and there are still a few months left." I said frowning.

"She is right! And don't scold my daughter like that." Dad said finally coming out of the trance.

"So Navya? What do you want now for this wonderful news?" Jiju asked coming near me.

"I don't want anything. Now I will get more salary right then I will buy something for all of you." I replied side hugging him.

"Rajeev! I still don't get. Why is she not working in our company itself?" Mom asked Jiju.

Jiju laughed and said, "She told me that already Dad, Kavya and I work in our company right. So if she joins it, then the company will become some family package and not working place."

They all laughed except Kavya Di, and I hit him on his shoulder because that was my secret. He smiled and kissed on my forehead.

Di married him two years back, and now he is nothing but our family. He is very protective of me, and I love him like my big brother.

"Di! What happened? Why are you like this?" I asked her confused.

At the same time, both Mom and Dad went inside calmly. Then I felt Jiju tensing beside me.

"Nothing Navvu! Don't worry about her. Now tell me how did your cruel boss let this happen?" Jiju asked and I immediately got distracted.

"I too got shocked when she told me I am getting a promotion. I mean this whole year she was always slaving me and nothing else. But now I am free from her clutches." I replied.

"I will go and take some rest." Kavya Di suddenly said.

Jiju nodded, and she left the room. I stared at her retreating figure and Jiju in confusion.

"Did you both get into a fight?" I asked him frowning.

"Something like that." He replied, sitting on the couch, and I followed his suit.

"Then go and talk to her immediately. I can't let my perfect couple have any problems." I said, pulling him up and pushed him towards his room.

I went inside my room and got freshened up. Then I left my room to go in the kitchen and saw that dinner is not prepared. And to my surprise, everyone locked themselves inside their room.

I decided not to disturb them and started cooking some dinner for all of us. Jiju and Di always stay at our home at least two days a month for these past two years.

Jiju is actually managing director in my Dad's company. His company is not that big, but we live a good life, and I think that is more than enough.

After preparing normal dishes I knocked on both the doors and sat on the table. A few minutes later, they all came and sat calmly.

"Guys! I know something happened and I already know you guys are not going to talk to me like always. But at least have your food with which you guys can hide so much more with all the strength you may gain by eating." I said getting up in a serious tone, or at least, I tried.

"Oh my god! My Navvu is growing up so fast." Jiju said, placing his hand on his heart.

"Jiju! I am trying to be serious here." I said pouting.

He laughed and started eating his food along with everyone. Dad and Mom left after I told them then, I would clean everything.

I saw that Di is still sitting there numb. I shook my head and went inside the kitchen and brought the small size cake I made especially for them.

"Look Di and Jiju! I know that I shouldn't come in between you both but you guys are important for me. So end this fighting soon and be happy." I said, placing the cake in front of them.

After that I went inside the kitchen and started clearing the dishes. After that I came outside and saw both feeding the cake to each other smiling.

I walked out of the room calmly and entered mine. I am happy that they return to normal now.

They are a completely ideal couple for me, and I wish when I have someone in my life, then we both will also be like that.

I smiled and lay down on the bed to let the sleep consume me.

*Suhas Pov*

"I will ruin you all." I still don't know why I told them that after knowing the truth, but I will not back down from my words.

How dare them to make me some fool for these two years? I thought and threw the glass at the wall with the hurt, they caused me.

"Suhas! What happened?" My Mom Devi asked entering the room.

"Nothing, Mom!" I replied, cleaning my face to clear the traces of tears.

"I saw you after two long years Suhas, and you are acting like you are not in this world. I wish you tell me soon what actually happened." Saying this she left the room.

"I had to stay away from my mom for all these days just because of them. I worked like a dog each day and night just because of them. I will not leave them alone." I said each word looking at the broken glass.

Then I remembered something from today's encounter. Navya! It is her name right.

"You just look like her!"

"Everyone says the same thing."

"You just look like her!"

"You just look like her!"

"You just look like her!"

She just looks like her, and I smiled with satisfaction because I know what to get. I am going to get my revenge for sure, and they will wish that they didn't witness the day two years back.

*Suhas Pov*

"Let's just hang out today." I said to Kavya.

"No Suhas! I need to get home soon today. Navya is going to get her results." Kavya said.

"But they are just semester results, right?" I asked her confused.

"Yeah! But we celebrate even tiny things that happen in her life. She is the heart of our family, and we want nothing but her to be happy." She replied and left.

"Heart of the family! We will just see about it. Your heart will be stolen away from your lives." I said, looking at her standing at the bus stop.

I picked up my phone and said, "You know what to be doing right? It should look real and I just want her honest reactions. However, she shouldn't accept you in the end and don't even touch her."

Hanging up, I saw the person going near her with a red rose. When he stood in front of her, she looked at him like he is an alien.

I pressed the phone to my ear so that I can hear their conversation through the phone he is holding.

"Excuse me? I love you." He said and face palmed myself. Can't he do it a little better?

"Oh! Thank you so much. But I don't love you." She said looking at him with pity.

What? Is she mad or what? Why is she feeling bad for him?

"Come on! There must be some other chance right?" He asked her.

"Look, I need to go. My boss will kill me if I get late." She replied and started to move away.

I signaled him to keep pace with her. He stopped her again, saying, "Your boss will understand if you go late."

She immediately started laughing there itself and then composed herself saying, "That is a good joke. When my boss understands, that day the hell will freeze for sure."

"Is your boss so cruel?" He suddenly asked her worriedly.

"Yeah! She is very. I mean she asked me to count the number of ball pins remaining in three boxes so that she can note down how many are used on my first day. Can you believe it?" She asked, shaking her head.

Ouch! That's pretty awful actually! I thought, imagining that.

"Did you count them all?" He asked her and even I want to know.

She laughed and said, "Nope! I threw all the ball pins except one in each box and told her the count."

"Wow! You are amazing!" he said in 'Aww'.

"I know right! So now I need to go, and I really hope, you will find the one because I am not the one for you." She said when a bus stopped in front of them.

"How can you be so sure?" He asked her confused.

"By the reply, you gave me for my behavior. Don't think much about this and just try someone else, and anyway I prefer my family's choice." She replied and went inside the bus.

So she is also just like her sister preferring family over everything. We will find out how much of this will change by the time I end my revenge.

"Sorry sir! I couldn't do it." He came near me and apologized.

"Just get lost and go to our office. We have some very important work in our hands." I said already deciding what I should do as this plan just failed.

I smirked at the moving bus and then got inside the car along with my P.A. Of course. This will take time for sure.

*Navya Pov*

"You are late!" those are the words I heard when I entered the office.

Doesn't she have any work or something? I mean everyday does she has to welcome us like this.

"By one minute." Came the voice somewhere from the remaining staff.

"Silence!" she shouted at them.

Now, as usual, she is going to start her march in front of me. She started saying something, but as usual, I started thinking a uniform for her.

She properly suits for a character who is captain Chantel Dubois in Madagascar3 – Europe's most wanted.

Perfect! I thought and grinned at the picture. Suddenly she snapped her fingers in front of me and said, "Are you even listening?"

"Of course, Maam!" I replied and walked towards my new place.

"You didn't hear anything she told you, right?" I heard Divya asking me from her place.

"Nope! I missed you yesterday." I replied, smiling at her.

"I just thought why we should go to the office every day, so I skipped it." She said smiling.

I started working and ignored my boss frequent glares from time to time. I earned this position with my hard work, and I didn't steal it, so she can stop her stupid looks.

That day when I reached my home, I saw that both Di and Jiju are standing along with my parents.

"Are you guys leaving?" I asked them sadly.

"Yeah! We will come again next month." Di replied hugging me.

"Why next month? Navvu! You come to our house whenever you want. I have even awesome idea. Why don't you move in with us?" Jiju asked ruffling my hair.

"And disturb you both? No way! That will not happen." I replied smiling.

"Dad! Inform me if he comes again." Di said to Dad.

"Who is "He"?" I asked her confused even though I know what she is going to reply.

"No one!" came the reply from these four as expected, but not in this high level.

"Ok!" I said, shrugging because I know there is always so much going on behind my back.

They never tell me about any problems like never. Nevertheless, I hope one day they do that.

After they left I went inside the room feeling tired. Even though I got a promotion, the work too got increased with that.

"Navya! Here, have some food." Mom said entering the room.

"Mom! Why did you bring it here?" I asked her confused.

"I know that you 're tired. Have some food and take rest." She replied, smiling and left the room.

After finishing it, I left the room and walked towards the dining room to see Mom and Dad talking to each other seriously.

"What if he does something to hurt us?" Mom asked worriedly.

"He will not do a thing. I will not let him." Dad replied, shaking his head.

"I just hope he forgets everything and also the threat he gave us." Mom said praying.

"Do you think today's change in the office is because of him?" Dad asked after a few seconds.

"Who knows? He can do whatever he wants. His family has always been powerful in Bhopal." Mom replied shaking her head.

"Don't worry, we will find some solution for office problem. It is actually a small one." Dad said, assuring her.

I felt guilty hearing their conversation like this. So I placed the plate on the table in the living room and went inside my room.

So someone is threatening my family due to some reason. My parents are so worried about this completely.

A small problem started in our company, which may have been caused by that person.

It is just so frustrating not to know the complete information. Maybe that's why they say that "No information is better than half information."

They could have told me about this right. I am 22, I mean nearly 22, so I can handle the news.

But no! They will never do that. This is another reason why I didn't join Dad's company. I mean they would have not allowed me to do anything and just would have made me sit on a chair in an idle state.

If it is so important, I am sure they will tell me. Who am I kidding? Of course they won't.

Then for now I will just deal with my present problem, which is my boss. Tomorrow I hope, I will not get late by one minute.

With that thought I let the sleep consume me completely...
