Few days later
With a big happy smile, Preet start the car engine before her car raced down the busy road of the city. Soon after 15 minutes drive, she stopped the car in front of a skyscraper building.
The Rajvansh. Co
Taking her tote bag, she lock her car and made her way inside the building. She smile and nodded when the receptionist stood up seeing her coming through the glass door and greet her politely.
She took the lift and within a minute it stop on the top floor. She comes out as the lift door opened.
But the sweet and happy smile on her fell as her eye caught the sight in front of her.
Her soft gaze slowly turned hard seeing how Ruhi is trying to stand close to Veer who is engrossed in reading some file while they are walking toward his office.
Veer is so busy in file but suddenly he snap his head toward Ruhi who was trying to touch his bicep. Seeing him look at her with cold expression, Ruhi smile and said,
"What happen, Veer? Why are looking at me like this? Am I looking at beautiful, huh?" then chuckle.
"I really appreciate if you maintain distance with me, Miss Ruhi," He warned her making her smile fall down.
Saying he went inside his office leaving fuming Ruhi. She turned hearing a low chuckle to see a grinning Preet.
"Hii" Preet mocked, waving her hands making Ruhi more mad.
Preet walk near her still smiling brightly which is irritating Ruhi even more.
Preet walk ahead ignoring her hard glare at her.
"Hello Mrs. Arora, how are you?" Preet ask the lady sitting at the reception table beside Veer's office room.
"Hello, darling. I am great. You?" The lady said smiling widely seeing her.
"I am good. Can I go-"
"Yeah yeah, girl...you go!! You don't have to ask. Enjoy!!" Preet blushed lightly when Mrs. Arora give her a teasing smile and winked at her.
"By the way, Looking hot in saree. God help my poor boss," The lady said dramatically while looking at ceiling making Preet blush even more.
Ruhi who was standing near by fist her finger tightly while sending daggers through her eyes in their direction.
"You just wait Preet," Ruhi muttered under her breath and walked away from there in anger.
"Hello!!" Veer look up from his Ipad hearing a familiar soft voice. He still for a second seeing Preet looking at him with an innocent face and smiling cutely while peeking from the slightly open door of his office.
"Veer?" he comes out of spell and compose himself.
"Come inside, please," Preet smiled and step inside before closing the door behind her.
She sat on the sofa beside the single sofa where he was sitting. Placing her bag on the table, she look up to see him already looking at her with strange emotion in his eyes.
She gulp feeling little nervous under his gaze and tuck her loose hair strand.
"Hope I didn't disturb you.." She said looking at the few files laying on table and Ipad in his hand.
He place the Ipad beside him.
"umm... No, just checking few reports," She nodded.
"Are you going somewhere?" he asked noticing her outfit.
"Hmm one of my friend invited me to her engagement so just going there. Am I looking good?" she asked looking down at herself feeling little shy.
"Hmm," She rolls her eyes hearing him hum as a reply.
"Leave it, I have bought you lunch from my restaurant," she excitedly open the bag and takes out containers filling the room with delicious spicy aroma.
"Work later...first have your lunch its already past lunch time," She look up after arranging dishes on the table for him. He look at her.
He look at the food to find his favorite dishes on the table. He sigh and said,
"Thank you but you don't have to do all this, Preet,"
His words make her upset but still, she smile and placed a plate in front of him to eat.
"Taste it and tell me how is it?" she places the plate in front of him for him to eat.
He look at the plate for a second then sigh feeling her curious gaze on him.
She smiles widely as he takes the first bite. She felt happy seeing him enjoying her food. It wasn't hidden from her that he like her handmade food.
She looked at the beautiful view of city through the glass window while Veer went to wash his hands in his office washroom. Suddenly the intercom ring catching her attention. She pick up the call.
"Sir, Mr. Patel is here and requested to meet you," a female voice comes.
"Please send him in," Preet replied as she know Mr. Patel very well. He is a family friend and work with her father as his legal consultant few years back.
"Alright ma'am,"
She place the bag containing empty boxes aside. At the same time, Veer comes out.
"Veer Mr. Patel...." she got cut by the knock on the door.
"Come in" Veer reply in a firm voice. The door open by the man. The man nodded his head as a greeting but he couldn't see Preet as Veer was blocking his view unknowingly. Veer got surprised seeing him suddenly.
He look at the Preet who frown at his surprise look.
The man also got shock when his eyes fell on Preet as he stop in his track. He share a look with Veer.
"Hello Mrs. Rajvansh. I will come later," saying he was about to turn back but stop by Veer.
"It's okay Mr. Patel. I am just leaving. You guys can talk," Preet said politely and take the bag in her hand.
"I think I should leave," he nodded suddenly feeling not good about her leaving but he just ignore his feeling and nodded at her.
"Bye," saying she walk toward the door. But suddenly she stop and turn around looking directly into his cold emotionless eyes with a lovely smile on her face.
"Have you dinner on time if I couldn't make it on time. Don't wait for me," she said making his heart stop for a second. He gulp the heaviness inside his throat and about to say something but she already left the room.
"Be safe," his heart whispered. He closed his for a moment before turning his attention to Mr. Patel who is patiently waiting for him.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Patel," Veer gesture him toward the sofa to take seat and himself sat beside him on another sofa.
"Papers are ready," Mr. Patel inform him handing him a brown envelope.
Veer stares at the envelope before opening it revealing the set of few printed papers.
"Think again Veer. It's a very big decision," Veer keep looking at the paper in a daze as his eyes stuck on the words written in bold letters.
Divorce Agreement
Veer place the papers back in the envelope and look at Mr. Patel with his usual cold eyes.
"I am sure of what I am doing. It is best for both of us. Thank you, Mr. Patel," Hearing his emotionless voice Mr. Patel sigh in defeat at his stubbornness.
"Well...It needs your and Preet's signature before I could file your divorce case in court for further procedure," Veer nodded.
"See you soon then. Think again with a calm mind Veer before doing something you may regret later," Saying this he went out leaving Veer with restless thoughts and heavy feelings.
He let out a deep sigh throwing his head back tiredly and run his fingers through his dark lock with a defeated expression on his face.
On the other hand, Preet look at her reflection with red glossy eyes. Her fingers curl tightly against the washing counter of the washroom.
It needs your and Preet's signature before I could file your divorce case in court for further procedure
It is best for both of us.
A sob escaped from her mouth as those words keep stabbing into her chest.
Covering her mouth with her hands, she tries her best not to make any noise but her emotions were not in her control.
She tightly close her eyes as her tears were not stopping. Her body was shaking badly as she was controlling herself from busting.
"Whyyy m..me?!" she cry out in pain and anger.
After 15 minute, when she finally collect her emotions. She face her face and wipe the water from her face. She look up with red puffy eyes with coldness in them.
She quickly shut her eyes feeling them burning with hot eyes and sigh deeply to control herself from breaking.
She made her way toward Veer's office and told the peon standing near his office door, "Excuse me, can you please fetch my phone from Mr. Rajvansh's office? I left it there," The boy nodded and went inside after asking permission from inside.
She had come back few minutes ago to take her phone which she left in his office in a hurry but hearing them talking she forget everything. The man she loves with her whole heart broke her completely.
Actually she was at fault to love him even after knowing he would never going to reciprocate her feeling. She should expect this before.
She wipes her tears and sniffed lightly when she saw the peon walking toward her with her phone in his hands.
"Ma'am, Sir..." she immediately cut him not wanting to hear anything about Veer.
"Thank you," saying she rushed away from there and entered the lift.
She sat inside the car and drive away in high speed with tears flowing freely from her eyes.
"Finally... you are free Mr. Veer Singh Rajvansh...from this burden called Preet," she said with a painful smile, tightening her hold on the steering wheel increasing the speed of the car.

"Am I doing the right thing, Papa? I don't want to hurt her more," Veer soft asked while caressing his father's photo frame and closed his eyes feeling a burning sensation in them due to his unshed tears.
"I love you, Papa, you know that right?" His voice filled with guilt and pain as he hug the frame close to his heart.
"I am sorry, Preet," he whispered in a daze before he doze off while sitting on his office chair with his father' photo frame on his hands.
