Chapter 51: chapter 51

NEIL'S P.O.VI wasn't in the mood to attend office meetings, but had to procure myself in something else rather than someone else. She was dialing me back to back, only I know how I held myself back from hearing her all time chirpy voice. I could never stop loving her. Also, I would never forget the way she misunderstood me. I could never think of hating her, not even a bit.In fact, I love her beyond this existence.However, I just don't want to bother her anymore and would never let her walk on the path, what all she already had been through.I don't want her to be formal with me, just because I saved her life and what not. I will not mind her in any sort until she wishes to be with me for life. ************************************AASHI'S P.O.V*knock knock*I opened the door to discern twins and Ronnie stood right in front with worrysome expression."Babydoll! How are you? Are you okay? We heard ..", they were so concerned that they couldn't complete their phrase."Calm down. Calm down, girls", I made them sit on the couch."You are behaving as if it's a miracle for you to see me alive, huh?", I joked around."Actually. Even the peril ran away on seeing duffer and why not? She is way more terrifying if compared", Yash entered.I gave him a fake smile. And..*BAMN*A smack landed on his head. "Owe", he screeched."Truth is always bitter", Ayu sat next to me supporting Yash.How dare they?"Acha?", I smiled sarcastically.And..*BAMN*A leg smack made its way onto his foot. "Aaaah", he expressed."Anything else you wish to say?", I fluttered my lashes dramatically."Junglee", both unisoned in pain.A group laugh accompanied."On a serious note. How are you? All good right?", Ronnie asked."Yes, everything is fine", I blinked in assurance. "This is very wrong", twins exclaimed.I gave a "What? Why?" look. "You went through so much and didn't even disclose anything before us. Aren't we your friends?", Ronnie asked and the twins nodded a YES. "Umm.. it's not so. Please don't feel that way. It's just that...", I tried to explain."Stop you people. No more blast from the past", my idiots unisoned.We obeyed. We chit-chated for a while and they left. Though we laughed a lot but something within me was feeling empty.Off course. Neil! Most probably, it was because he wasn't reachable. Where did he go?I spoke to my mum, dad and my idiots and ended up deciding where I would start from. I dialed a number with quivering hands. *Ring Ring*Me- H..Hello?Neil's Mom- Hello?Me- Mrs. Oberoi?Neil's Mom- Yes. Wait, is that you my dear?Me- *addled*Neil's Mom- Aashika?Me- Yes. Neil's Mom- Oh my! How are you sweetheart?Me- Am good, thank you. Neil's Mom- I am sorry. I learned what all you went through. Neil never hides anything from me. Me- Hmm! *nervous*Neil's Mom- Relax. I am glad that you called me. Me- I am glad the way you comforted me. Neil's Mom- Oh honey! You deserve this. Me- Umm..! Mrs. Oberoi? W..Where i..is..?Neil's Mom- Mrs. Oberoi? Call me Aunt. In fact, why don't you call me Mom? Already you are taken. *chuckle*Me- Haan? *stunned*Neil's Mom- I know what you are going to say. Or should I say whom you gonna ask about?Me- No, that.. Neil's Mom- *smile* Neil is coming back today from France. He had a meeting over there. I know he is a bit disturbed. Me- Oh, I apologise. Neil's Mom- No need to be. Honey, I am not blaming you because you were right on your part somewhere, but my son loves you and you know how much. And for now, he is hurt and even that you know why. Me- I do. However, he is not willing to take my calls. I wanted to meet him, but didn't know about his whereabouts. Neil's Mom- I understand. This is how my son is. He wants to keep himself busy in his professional life to avoid his personal life's jim-jams. Me- Nonetheless, he has to be back. He has to be the old Neil, whose aura was a bliss to acquire. Neil's Mom- And only you are the one, who could make that possible, sweetheart. Me- Me?Neil's Mom- Yes. You! I am sure you can do this. Me- Thank you for your belief in me. Neil's Mom- Anything for you. Do let me know, if anything. Me- Sure! Thank you!Neil's Mom- Take care sweetheart! Next time, I hope to see you and Neil together. Me- We will be!Neil's Mom- God bless you!*Beep Beep*Now I know, from where did Neil get that composure attribute. We all sat together and made it through a conclusion. Neil is no longer the old one and every ounce of it is because of me. No matter what, I have to do this. This is nothing as compared to what Neil did for me and suffered just because of me. Wait for it Neil Oberoi!*determined*Though I kept calling on his number, but dare he answer my call?I never knew Mr. Oberoi is this stubborn. Nevertheless, you don't know me. Wait for tomorrow, which will gift you something, which you never expected before. Next morning, I entered the office utmost a bit earlier to arrange what all I planned. The entire way from the entrance till the floor would give him a bunch of notes full of my emotions and confessions in a way only he could get it. ***********************************NEIL'S P.O.VI entered the entrance and a huge chart note attracted my attention. It read.. Mr. Neil Oberoi ! The way we met, the instances which we encountered together, never had me expect, I will ever fall for you ❤Fall for me?Is she the one, whom I am expecting to be?This feel was rejuvenating in a hope of a positive outcome. Smiling, I paced ahead towards the elevator and stepped-in only to find another. It read.. This was the place, where I saw you the same morning, I was to come across the fact that the person whom I considered as the 'TURMOIL OF MY LIFE' was to be evolved as the 'CEO OF OBEROI'S'. Moreover, your confession? It almost killed me! Turmoil?*chuckle*Then, after stepping out of the elevator, I ran into another one.It read.. Though I kept denying the certitude, how important you became for me with each moment we faced together. However, you were always there to give me the reality check, which I ignored over and above. All those moments played in the back of my head. *smile*Few steps ahead, I found another. It read.. When I was almost there, my witless brain pulled a stunt and showed how stupid I can get. A throaty laugh slipped out of my vocals. I continued reading it. Do not laugh. Acknowledging one's mistake is not comical. Acha, fine! Laugh! I deserve it. *louder laugh*She is so cute  This is what made me fall for her. I was way too excited to discern what next is in store for me. Neil, you were always there for me. And, what did I do? Misunderstood you, blamed you for nothing. Furthermore, I hurt you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I already did, love.*sigh*And continued.. Now enough! It is time for.. That's it?No! No! No! Time for what?I wanted to read more, I wanted to know what she was to say. I searched for other notes in case if any, but didn't find a single one. *whistle*Meanwhile, a feminine whistle pulled my attention likewise. "Boss, here", there she was pointing her fore-finger towards herself.Aashi doing this just caught me off guard. I looked around and there was my entire staff stood bewildered and looking at her as if she was from Mars.Man! She went out of her comfort zone and took this much effort for me?Unbelievable!My girl♥️"Enough of notes. It's time for verbal confession", she voiced.*********************************AASHI'S P.O.VIt was going as I desired. No matter I was the centre of attraction, which I never wished to be. I didn't care about the people staring at me as if I am an alien. Anything for my Neil. "I just wish to earn you back", I initiated.I could see the urge to hear more from me in his unsaid utterance. His wait is over. "Ladies and Gentlemen! I would love to announce an articulation", I said swirling my sights around."This man is already taken", I declared pointing towards Neil.I turned towards Neil and found as if his blue orbs would pop-out any moment. "So, Neil Oberoi! Will you make me a part of your existence to the infinity?", I asked raising my right palm towards him.He stood straight for a while. "You are so, since before now and will ever be, daddy's little girl", he spoke aloud spreading his arms to engulf me within.I ran towards him without wasting a moment and immersed in his embrace.Everyone was finding one's feet to grasp the bombshell including Ella, Emma, Abby, Ronnie and others. We both hardly cared. "Thank you for making me live this moment, daddy's little girl", Neil spoke with the authenticity in his each word.His grip around me grew firm. "Nah! Thanks to you for teaching me the way to live", I kept my heart out."NEILAASHI forever", we both unisoned unintentionally.*****************************Hey, beautiful people!
