39.His messed up feelings

The Crowned Prince

A BOOM update for my readers.... Go go go... Read it.. And don't forget to comment... 🙂🙃

Adhiraj saw her going inside the palace with the help of maid, he turn and took that paper. He got to know that some journalist published about those men's death, but it was nothing. Just a local newspaper wrote something about the 'Accident'.

He threw it in dustbin and made a walk to his room but a servant came and inform him that his father was looking for him.

Adhiraj sighed, he was already tired but his father was looking forward to give him some more work.

🔅🔅🔅

One weak passed, Adhiraj, Adya, Adhvan and Rohan was in conference room waiting for a client and other persons.

Now a days, Adhiraj was behaving very silent and reserved and the sole reason was his a week old conversation with his father. He had to invest his time and money in Chauhan's business and also he had to pretend to try to know his daughter which was really very irritating for him.

Business was okay but pretending a courtship period with that snobbish girl was something extreme and also against his ethics but he had no choice.

His father had commanded him to play along, he wanted to destroy Jayant Chauhan from inside. Reason? His father didn't disclosed it yet saying that he will come to know about it on right time.

He was working on his laptop when Rohan broke the silence, "So, how are the thing with Chauhans going?"

He meant to ask many things, they had tracked down a small data breech that too from the palace.

Someone was betraying Royals, and as usual Adhiraj was eager to find that person as soon as possible. To his relief that breech was nothing harmful but still they had to be careful, next time that person could do something more big.

All this things was messing with his mind. Even his family didn't know about that data breech. It was between him and Rohan along with some white collared computer experts.

Adhiraj shook his head in positive really not wanting to talk about it in front of Adya and Adhvan.

"Rohan Bro. Of course, he will be happy. He is going to get married.", Adya said in a fake happy tone.

Adhiraj shook his head on her comment, she and Adhvan was also not happy on this just like him, but he was not sulking everytime.

"Seriously.. Bhai sa. Marrying a snob?", Adhvan shook his head.

"I am not going to marry her Adya. We are just planning to keep them busy in this thing. We are just giving them a false satisfaction of winning.", Adhiraj said in a calm tone with his gaze still fixed on the screen.

"What if you will have to marry her?",Adya showed her insecurity on which her brother shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly like it didn't matter to him.

Everybody fell silent after seeing his silent attitude.

After couple of minutes, Adya exclaimed, "Bhai sa!!! You are already married."

"WHAT!!??", other three men shouted at her sudden statement.

"Yeah. You are already married.Married to Raina.", Adya gave a full blown smile like she had invented something new.

"Forced in marriage. If you are forgetting then let me remind you, we were forced. I was not in a responsive state and Raina was helpless.", Adhiraj said firmly, she was behaving childish.

"Bhai sa, she is good. Actually better then that Chauhan girl.", Adhvan was also thinking over Adya's sentence.

Rohan held his head seeing their acts.

"Are you both out of your m-", he said but was cut off in middle by the opening of door.

"Hello everyone.", Raina entered the door and sat on her seat beside Adya keeping her laptop and files on the table.

Everyone including Adhiraj was looking at her but when she moved her eyes up, they averted their eyes.

Raina could feel the unusual silence in the conference room. She looked at them who were pretending to be busy in their work but Adya was grinning widely looking at her.

Raina raised her eyebrows in question and asked little slowly, "What happened? Why are you looking like you will jump out of the window from happiness."

Adya chuckled and slapped her arm, "Nothing like that."

An evil thought occurred in her mind, she said little loudly, "You know one thing Raina?"

Raina looked at her with alert face because of unplanned increment in her voice's amplitude.

"Bhai sa is getting married.", Adya chirped looking at her.

All looked at her with shock, Adhiraj groaned silently. He was already feeling like pulling his hair out.

He didn't know why but he was not in feeling good on Raina knowing about his so called courtship. Rohan noticed his sour expression but he ignored it for a while and focused on Raina.

"Really?", she asked.

After few seconds ahe looked up at Adhiraj and smiled slightly, "Congratulations sir. Wish you and your to be wife a happy life ahead."

Adhiraj closed his eyes listening her wishing him over something whaich was not going to happen, he was looking at her but she ducked her head down soon after congratulating him, to which he didn't felt the need to reply.

And here Adya's face fell on seeing her so cool.

"Maybe, I was really being childish.", she thought sighing sadly.

Soon Mr. Agarwal came with a man who was another businessman and meeting started.

After an hour of discussion, the deal was finalised.

That client was a young man named Mr. Tanwar, he didn't dare to glance at Adya knowing well who was she but his stares were constant on Raina.

Mr. Aggarwal exited the room as soon as meeting wrapped up. Adhiraj was looking over the papers cross-checking them before signing.

That man said to Raina with a charming but evil smirk on her face, "Ms. Raina Kashyap. I am impressed by your work."

She looked a little taken aback on his comment but she replied politely, "Thank you sir."

"Oh. Just drop this formality, we can be friends, you know.", he weaved his hands in air with a suggestive smile.

Raina was collecting files to go back to her cubicle , she stopped hearing him. From past one hour she was tolerating him and his disgusting stares just because of her work.

She looked at the glass of water placed in front of her, resisting a strong urge to splash the content of glass on his face and to hit him with the same glass, she again let out a polite smile, "Sorry sir, my friend circle is very small."

"Ahh. Excuse me gentlemen, I have a work to complete.", she stood up and with her things and mainly looked at Adhiraj for permission and later nodded his head.

She left the conference room without a even glancing back once.

"Who was she Mr. Bajpeyi?", That man asked looking at Rohan, he didn't have guts to ask something like this to Adhiraj.

Rohan was going to say something but Adhira cut him off.

"Mr. Tanwar, stop your advances, she is already married. We won't tolerate this type of activity with our employees", Adhiraj's voice boomed in the conference room shocking other four person including that man.

He continued in a grave voice leaving that Tanwar man sweating, "Moreover, I would like to expect a strict professional behavior from you. I hate tardiness."

That man replied very quickly, "Sure Mr. Rathore. I will not disappoint you". It was a life time opportunity to work with Rathores.

He muttered looking at the door, "Though it is sad that she is out of my league."

He just missed a fine piece.

After he left, Rohan exclaimed, "Adhiraj!! What was that?"

"What?", Adhiraj looked at h with bored expression.

"Why did you tell him that she is married?", Adhvan asked with bewildered eyes.

"Are you thinking over what I said?", Adya chirped happily.

"What is this with you all? Stop behaving like kids. That man is a womanizer, I just said it to avoid any problem in my office.", his voice came full of unexpected anger.

"Now shut this crap and focus on your work.", he said getting up from his seat and marched out of the room leaving grave silence behind him.

Rohan looked at Adya whose face had turned pale seeing her brother like this, he said, "Adya, he is already very tensed these days, don't irritate him further and just forget this Raina topic. That was an accident and leave it that way.If something is destined to be, it will happen anyway."

"You are right Bro. I think, I overdid it.", Adya sighed feeling guilty over her behavior.

"It's alright, it's just that he is over serious now a days and I want you both to be safe from that angry lion.", Rohan chuckles in last aslo making her smile.

Rohan entered in his cabin and asked in urgency, "Adhiraj, what was that?"

"What?", Adhiraj moved his eyes up to see him but again dropped them to the file.

It irritated Rohan seeing him behaving so casual and here his heartbeat was pumping in anticipation.

He settled opposite of him and take a breath before asking him, "Adhiraj, I am not Adya or Adhvan to believe your that stupid excuse. I have seen your every aspect. From angry to calm, from kind to merciless. What was that Adhiraj? Your possessiveness leaking from those word was noticeable enough. Why did you said that Raina is married?"

Adhiraj didn't respond, he just moved his right hand near his forehead and started rubbing it slowly, he sighed in irritation.

"You know, you should talk about it. Maybe I can help.", Rohan saw his condition, after spending almost two decades with him, he knew that making him open up was not easy.

"I didn't like the way he was staring at her, I didn't like the way he was flirting with her. I really felt like protecting her. She is not that much strong as she shows, she is scared of something. That evening when I saw her in that state, I resisted a strong urge to wrap her in between my arms...", he stopped realising what he was saying in the flow, true to his words after seeing her that evening and all this marriage fiasco with Divya Chauhan, his feelings for her took a different and intense turn.

"Why that so?", Rohan asked calmly, same question he was asking from himself from a weak.

"Ah... I don't know Rohan. I was always a composed person. I never let any girl affect me but she is attracting me, she seems like a mystery, an enchanting mystery.",he leaned back on his chair closing his eyes, saying everything clearly to his best friend.

Rohan frowned over him and asked slowly dreading his reaction, "Ummm.. Is it lust? Are you attracted to her body?"

Adhiraj jerked up from his relaxing position with wide eyes, "What!!"

" If it is then I should be ashamed on myself. My mother always taught me to respect women. How could I see any girl in that way?", he muttered to himself but Rohan heard it clearly.

He was tensed over his own behavior, he always respected woman's dignity. Lusting over a girl was not even the last thing in the world he would like to do.

"Adhiraj relax. Do one thing, tell me what is the most attracting thing in her body according to you?"Rohan sensed his turmoil , he tried to cool him down but his last sentence added fuel to the fire.

"What the hell you are asking?", Now Adhiraj was getting furious, the question was looking pure disgusting to him.

"Hukum sa, your answer will decide if it is lust or not.", Rohan again said in a calm tone but again his heart started beating fast. He was not planning to get killed by that intimidating best friend of him.

Like his usual nature, Adhiraj again thought wisely on that point. He picked up the glass and took a sip of cool water, closing his eyes he let his throat getting relieved by water and his mind wander to her.

He placed back the glass but didn't opened his eyes, after a five minutes he said slowly opening his eye lids, "Her eyes, her brown eyes are not only beautiful but it feels like they are replica of her feelings which are hard to read."

"Eyes? You find her eyes most beautiful?", his answer left Rohan more confused.

"Yeah, well she is beautiful as whole but her eyes and her long hair are most attracting thing.", Adhiraj shrugged his shoulders not caring if he was sounding weird. Usually he doesn't open up but when he does he speaks without hesitation.

"On the other hand, her confidence and strength are cherry on the top.", he added remembering her attitude and sophisticated posture.

When Rohan kept looking at him without saying anything, Adhiraj raised his eyebrows, "So?"

Rohan cleared his throat,"Ahmmm.." coming out of his trance, this side of Adhiraj was different for him, actually surprising.

He said after a minute, "It is not lust, even I am not so sure but what I can see is you are deeply infatuated towards her, and your feelings are also quite messed up."

Seeing the young prince frowning in confusion he said, "Yuvraj sa, first sort out your feelings, decide what you want? Knowing you in and out, I don't want her to see your extremely possessive side. She is a genuine person, I don't want her to be get hurt. Decide before it changes into something dangerous."

He knew Adhiraj's limit but again, he had never seen him doing something in haste. He was always a composed person even in extreme situations.

He got up and started going out of his cabin, but he stopped and looked back at Adhiraj and said loudly smiling at him, "I have a strong believe in you. You will handle everything efficiently, just like always."

Adhiraj nodded his head still thinking something or probably digesting the new information, trying to grasp the whole situation.

So, a turning point.. Right?

How was it?
