READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

CHAPTER 19

Everyone says life is unpredictable. You can never know what will happen next. But what no one had told you is that life is a sucker to which can shatter you without any fault of yours living you soulless. Soul is the only energy that guides your conscience and let you know what is right and what is wrong. When life had sucked you dry and left you numb you either drown in the darkness or you turn into darkness. Lose can make you grief stuck but when you are destroyed and you fragments are scattered you can never be whole again and over the time you start to love this life that may not be full but is more than what you had when you felt you had everything. When all you get is the artificial people around you who won't mind hurting you for their benefit and leaving you with a realization that if you let people to walk all over you they won't mind to stamp all over you and not even look back to see if you have survived the cursed reality of the cruel world with people who just wait to pull you down for their own benefits. You learn to stand up for yourself and protect your interest and what belongs to you has to be only yours and no one can stand in your way and you make sure that no one even try.

Khushi was happy at the moment as she had been able to be with her DM even if it was for few minutes but she always found her peace in DM as she was the one who would hear to her without telling her to shut it as she is talking too much. Khushi smiled at her own crazy thought but when she had walked out and been hugged by Arnav she was shocked and then embarrassed as she felt weird as he was doing it in front of so many people she said so to him that he was acting like a shameless person but somewhere in her heart she liked it to as it made her remember all those movies and serials in which heroes would hug the heroin and talk romantic but she knew he was not a hero but a complex personality. She was sure he was not a villain but he was neither a hero she was always confused regarding him and she had stopped to categorize him into a particular category as he changes in a blink of an eyes so she had stopped betting herself over him. As they were walking down the steps suddenly the wind was blowing and all her hair had covered her face and she was trying to pull it back on the place but the wind was too adamant and in end she let it be. What she did realize is the man who was following them and trying to take their pictures but the wind had concealed her face and he was not lucky enough to take a clear picture.

Arnav who was busy in a call while walking down saw his bodyguards waiting for them and the moment he was down they had surrounded them and the driver had opened the door for them to get in khushi who was busy looking around a while ago was sulking as she could not see anything because of the huge gigantic bodyguard surrounding them. Arnav saw her sulking face but ignoring it just said get in and soon they both were in the car and it was driving towards home. He had again gone busy on his phone checking his mails while khushi was busy enjoying the view which was not magnificent but it was freedom for her and she was enjoying it.

On the other side a man entered the office of Daily Times one of the popular newspaper and also had a news channel. He walked toward the receptionist and said he wanted to meet the editor. The receptionist looked at him and said do you have an appointment. The man looked at the receptionist and placed a card on the table and waited for her reply. The receptionist looked at it and said Mr. Joshi I will inform the Assistant editor you can wait in the waiting area I will inform you and picked up the receiver to call her boss and let him know that there is a man who wants to meet him and says its important but won’t say for what just that its important. After few minutes she called the man back and said Sir is waiting for you in his cabin, go straight last door on right hand side.

Mr. Joshi moved towards the way guided by the receptionist and stood in front of a door on which a name plate was engraved in golden letter Mr. Sachin Agarwal, assistant editor. He knocked on the door and heard a come in and walked into the room. Sachin who had been busy with his work had got a call from the receptionist the Mr. Joshi was here to see him. He had known this man as he was a freelancer photographer and they had dealt with him regarding some work before. But he knew right now there was no such work that was offered to him so when he got the call he was curious to know what had brought this man here so he had said the receptionist to send him in. as soon as Mr. Joshi walked in they greeted each other and Mr. Agarwal said him to take a seat and said what brought you here.

Mr. Joshi smiled at him and said I have a news about ASR and that name got the man interested on the topic and what is it. Joshi looked at him and said I have a picture of ASR hugging a girl. Agarwal looked at him and said so it’s nothing new and heard Joshi saying in a temple and that got Agarwal’s interest and he said I want to have a look at the picture and Joshi showed him. Agarwal looked at the picture and said but the girl’s face is not clear in any picture. Joshi looked at him and said still, it’s worth it and smirked at Agarwal. They both knew a news about ASR in temple with a girl will be a sensational news. Agarwal looked at him and said let me call the editor and called his boss and said him the news and what should he do.

ASR who was busy in his work had to stop his work as he got a message so he opened it and the moment he read it his blood was boiling.

“Sir someone had come to the office of Daily Times with a picture of you with some girl I had stalled him but I can’t for long.”

Arnav read the message and his fist clenched he knew he has to act soon and he knew what he has to do so he called Aman and said what he has to do and smirked at his own thought.

Khushi who was next to him looked at his weird behavior and said to herself he is mad and poked his shoulder to gain his attention and said why are you grinning like a loo.. she stopped herself  before she could have said loon.

Arnav looked at her and said in a serious tone none of your concern. Khushi looked at him and said fine but you said you will tell me if I can go to Dehradun after we visit the temple so tell I can go right.

Arnav heard her but did not reply and continued working. Khushi frown at him and said to herself try not to get angry khushi otherwise he would never let you go and you will miss a golden chance to be free even if for few days. She turned toward other side and kept looking out of the window as she knew he will answer her only when he wanted to any ways there was five more days for the reunion and she hoped he let her go. Soon they had reached home and the driver opened the door for her khushi got down but before she could leave she bent down and looked at Arnav who was still engrossed in his word said bye and have a nice day Arnavji and thank you for taking me to temple and ran into the house but looked back and saw the car already moving towards the gate.

Arnav heard her and saw her running towards the home and shook his head for her craziness. But soon his face again was hard as a stone with no emotions and he said driver take to the warehouse. The moment his care entered the warehouse and stopped his driver got down to open his side door so he could come out and the moment ASR got down he moved like storm into the warehouse and his bodyguard followed him in. when he entered the room he was greeted by Aman and he saw a man tied to a chair and struggling helplessly. He walked toward the man and stood before him and said in his low and dangerous voice hello Mr. Joshi. Mr. Joshi who was struggling to get himself free halted his effort and looked up and looking at them man in front of him he gulped hard as he knew he was in trouble everyone knew what a cold hearted person ASR was but still he tried to click his picture and make profit out of it without his knowledge. He knew ASR once had destroyed a channel that had tried to poke their nose in his matter and he knew he had done the same but he had said to Agarwal not to reveal his name. Joshi was sweating like hell and was scared for his life.

A chair was kept opposite to where Joshi was tied and ASR sat on it and said you must be thinking how come I know what you were up to. ASR smirked and said I control my life and no one else has the power over me and those who try to I know how to destroy them. Agarwal had send you here to meet his boss but do you know who his bosses boss is and waited for him to reply. Joshi gulped and said your owner of Daily Times and ASR smirked and said I'm not but I do own a huge amount of its share and it gives me a right to control it. ASR still looking at him shouted Aman the pictures. Aman walked toward him and gave the pictures to him and stood by his side and ASR saw the picture and he fisted his hand and a tight bunch landed on Joshi's face and it was such a hard punch that toppled his chair and it fell down and his nose was bleeding. Guards pulled his chair back to place and waited for their bosses order.





ASR got up from his chair and looked at him with his cold yet burning eyes and said you are lucky that in none of the picture her face is clear if her face would have been clear you would have been dead by now but indeed you are luck but still you messed with a wrong man and said guard cut Mr. Joshi's right thumb. Before Mr. Joshi could react bodyguards took his hand make hold the chopped in left hand and placed his right thumb in it and within a blink his thumb was chopped of his hand and his scream was unheard as no one dares to deny the boss as there condition would be worst. He looked at them and said take him to hospital and make sure if he suffers with every breath he takes he prays for death. I want him on road he should not be able to hold a camera ever in his life and looked at Mr. Joshi who was about to lose his consciousness said if you survive till you reach hospital you will wish every second of your life you were dead and walked out of the warehouse and left for his office and got busy in his work.



But after few hours Aman came to ASR and said Sir Mr. Joshi died he jumped off the window of his hospital room where he was admitted and looked at his boss but there was no reply from ASR  so he left. He knew why Joshi had taken this step as it was easy than the hell ASR would have created for him he knew when ASR says something he means it and he fulfills his words at any cost and Joshi had been trying to poke his nose in ASR's life for a while know and he knew if you play with fire you will get burned it won't affect the fire.






Next day had arrived soon and everyone in AR was busy with the last minute preparation and the time had flew by and it was evening and Aman had made sure everything was up to the mark. Soon the guest had started to arrive and the fashion show had begun and the indo western collection of AR was showcased while ASR sitting in the front row and hearing others praise the collection but he had never been the one to flattered by it what mattered to him was his hard work and the success that it brings to him.

Soon the show was over and ASR walked the ramp with the show stopper and the designer and everyone clapped for them and the host requested him to say few words. ASR took the mike and said I would just say that success had always been AR's and in future to it will be AR's and walked down the ramp everyone had always been stunned by the confidence and the aura he carried around him.





Soon the after part had started along with that everyone was parsing the beauty and how magnificent the hotel was. But ASR was still on present in the hall. He with his trusted man Aman was in his office in the hotel and sitting on the royal couch while a man was on his feet begging for his mercy and saying ASR please you can't do this to me please you said you would give me two more months but you can't take over my company like this. ASR smirked at him and said it was before you send your so called daughter to glue so she can seduce me and steel from my office do you think I'm that dumb that just a skin show and I will lay down like a puppy at her feet I was fare but you tried to cheat me and I never forget cheats and about your daughter do you know where she is and saw the color drain from Mr. Sagal's face.





 ASR looked Mr. Sagal in the eyes and said you think I have my brain in my pants she may be beautiful but she can never be that cunning to fool me as she got no brains and smirked and said it's was me who let her take the picture of those documents and like a fool she entered my trap. I'm not a fool to leave my important documents in front of my enemy giving them a chance to destroy me and anyways the picture of the documents she took were fake just like you still it did it's work and smirked at Mr. Sagal. ASR looked at him with a wicked smile on his face and said Aman tell Mr. Sagal where is his daughter. Aman looked at Mr. Sagal and said she is in jail for steeling documents from AR and was caught red handed and handed over to police. Mr. Sagal was cold to react now and he looked totally defeated. ASR smirked at him and said do enjoy the party as this will be the last time you would see some this as grand as this and left the room and Aman followed him.

The party was going on full swing everyone was enjoying the best food and liquor but still there was no sign of the host and as soon as ASR entered the party everything turned quiet he walked in and everyone smiled at him but he least cared about others and walked toward the bar and sat on the chair and took a drink and was looking nowhere in particular and Aman stood by him.



After few minutes he said Aman to make the announcement and so he walked toward the stage cleared his throat and said ladies and gentlemen thanks for gracing us with your presence to celebrate AR's success and today we had launched our new line and also a new chain of our paradise hotel but laong with that there is another great news that AR's group had over taken Sagal group of industries and know it will be merged with AR so I would like to call open ASR to open this Champaign bottle and raise a toast for AR's success. Soon ASR walked toward the stage and was presented a Champaign bottle he opened it pored it in a glass and raised it and said for AR's growth chaise and drank the champaign and nodded to Aman and walked back to where he was sitting. 



Aman took the mike back and said everyone enjoy the party and soon the music was flowing and people were dancing and drinking and enjoying like crazy. People walked toward ASR and congratulated him, talked to him about business or praised him for his success but after few minutes they would leave him as he would not entertain anyone for long. Models cling to him to gain his attention but he was least bothered about them and would not even spare a glance at them. All the while Aman was by his side. 


After few hours he got up and said Aman I'm leaving, take care of the party and left. Aman looked at his boss and blinked but said nothing as it was strange as he would always leave with a model during the party but today he had left alone and it was a shock for Aman but he didn't say it out loud as he loved his life.





ASR moved out of the party hall and sat in his car and said the driver to take him home and his bodyguard were following him in other car. After few minutes suddenly a car from nowhere came and crashed into his car with a force and his driver lost the grip of the staring wheel, but soon controlled. But missed to see the tree in front the car hit the tree and came to a halt. Soon the bodyguard who were following them came to rescue and pulled ASR out and driver to. While the carried them out one of the saw that the car was leaking and soon the moved to a distance and car caught the fire and exploded. The bodyguard called Aman and informed him that they are taking ASR to hospital.
