"I can't leave you here like this.I wanted you to remember everything yourself and come to me as soon as possible.But now it seems that all this is very difficult, so I have to do something such that you also come to me, and you should not be harmed.Give me just a few days, and I will change everything. I have two hours.

He immediately lies down beside Mayil, holds her hands in both his hands, puts them on his chest, and constantly looks at her face as if he had never seen her before. It is very difficult for him to survive even a single moment without his wife.But the situation has become such that he cannot take her with him, even if he wants to.If he takes her with him like this, then this time everything will be much more difficult.

He immediately lays beside Mayil and holds her tightly in his arms as he always did. He never sleeps without holding her, no matter how angry Mayil is with him or how angry he is with Mayil, but after coming to bed, both of them could not sleep until they hugged each other. He kisses her forehead, then kisses both her cheeks and marks a small kiss on her lips as well.

He wants to spend his life in these arms, and he knows he will do it, no matter what it takes.He will not let his wife go away fromhim.No matter how much Mayil himself tries to get away from him, he has done it.He doesn't want anything other than Mayil in his life.

He immediately closes his eyes and lies down with her because he wants to live the moment now. He doesn't know when he will be here next time, but he is so sure that he must take his Mayil from here at any cost.

After 2 hours, suddenly his mobile starts vibrating.He knows very well that this is the number of the security head whom he has hired here for work. At this time, more than half the staff present here in this house belongs to him, but there are some people here who are Jagdish Kaushik's trustworthy men whom he cannot buy with his money even if he wants to.

He quietly gets up from there and wraps Mayil well in a sheet, and he starts going from there again through the way of the balcony, but after turning, he comes quickly and immediately clutches his Mayil in his arms and sucks her lips like this starving little kid for his candy. He starts kissing her as if her lips are providing her oxygen for his life.

He takes a good look at Mayil and then immediately runs towards the balcony and jumps down because he knows that he has spent too much time there. If he stayed here longer, he could have been caught today.

CHAPTER 11

Jagdish is sitting and holding his head because he has no idea what to do now. Today, after years of hard work, the company set up by his father collapsed like a palace of cards in minutes. He is angry with himself.

Everything was over within minutes. Suddenly, the shares of his company fell so much that he did not even know, and within minutes, someone bought his entire company. He does not understand at all what has happened all of a sudden all these years that he is slowly falling. A few years ago, he used to be the king of the business world. Everyone used to take business opinions from him, and today he is not able to save his business.

In the last seven years, out of its five companies, four have been completely liquidated. Now there is only one company left, which is his life, and he does not understand how he will save that too. This is the company he had dreamed of with his sweetheart, and now he wants to save it anyway because it was all her idea. She knew how to set up and run this company; she had thought of everything and always guided him. He was running that company like a robot.

Recalling his bad circumstances, he starts crying about his destiny. He bows his head, then grabs his head and starts crying like a failed person. Today, after almost 3 months, Mayil has come out of her house, apart from the hospital. She doesn't want to leave the house. Nor does she want to meet anyone. She has a very strange feeling that someone is watching her. So she keeps herself locked in the room. But at the behest of her father, today she has gone to the mall to shop for herself, and her father's condition is very bad here. He has no one with whom he can share his pain.

Jagdish is crying over his failure, and only then does he realize that someone is sitting next to him. He immediately turns his head towards the person and finds that his father-in-law, Mohan, is sitting next to him.

"Dad, I lost everything today."

Mohan immediately hugs him and consolingly says,.

"You will never fail; you have been my favorite since childhood. You cannot lose, and if you lose even your last company, then there is nothing to worry about. Whatever is mine, everything is yours. My daughter is not alive now, but you are my son."

Jagdish immediately hugs Mohan and starts looking at Shweta's photo, then he smiles lightly. Mohan just patted his back very lovingly, like a father. Shweta and Jagdish are childhood friends; even their fathers are also friends from childhood. That is why Mohan has known Jagdish since childhood, and he loves Jagdish more than his daughter. But Mohan is never able to love Mayil exactly the way he loves Shweta and Jagdish. Mohan doesn't like Mayil at all, even though she is her only granddaughter, yet he doesn't even want to see her in front of him. Mohan takes Jagdish in his embrace and affectionately tells him.

"I am not going to listen to you, nor am I going to let you say anything. I am telling you very well that tomorrow I am announcing the merger of our companies, and you will do whatever I tell you. I listened a lot to your nonsense that you did not want to take any favors from me. Now Shweta is not in our lives, then mine everything is yours.

Jagdish does not say anything to Mohan, and after listening to him with his head bowed and looking at Shweta's photo, he just starts smiling, which even Mohan cannot understand. Why is he smiling at Shweta's photo?

AUTHOR'S POV

Mayil is just looking at things in the mall. She doesn't feel like buying anything at all, but she also knows very well that if she does not buy anything from here, then her father will raise a lot of questions, and she doesn't want her father to get upset because of her. She has been noticing for a long time that he is very upset nowadays.

She slowly walks out, because she doesn't want to buy anything. Her guards are with her all the time, and because of them, she is getting upset. She wants to be alone for some time due to seeing her guards, so she immediately tells him.

"I want to go to the washroom, and please stay a little away from the washroom; you don't need to disturb me so much. I will come back here only; I am not running away. You are only here to protect me, not to be a shadow all the time."

They all line up at an appropriate distance. Mayil enters the washroom and locks it for a few minutes. She leans on the washbasin and looks without knowing exactly what she wants. She turns and looks at herself in the mirror. Loud voices again start their effects.

"Red suits you... I love to see you in red... My red-hot beauty."

She immediately opens her eyes as if she has seen something terrible again, even though she doesn't know when she closes her eyes. But she has never seen anything bad; she is just frightened by the memories that haunt her all the time now. It seems to her as if her memories are becoming much clearer. Now she can see everything except that man's face, and even everything is heard clearly.

Then there is a knock on the door; she knows they are her bodyguard, so she gets upset and shouts loudly.

"What do you want?"

"Mam, it's cleaning time."
