28 I Beg You

"That would have been a brilliant idea if I didn't had a plan for breakfast with your boss."

"WITH MY BOSS?"

Aliya was about to puke everything she had gulped if Bhavna hadn't asked that question which brought her back to senses.

"Aren't you okay with it?"

Aliya returned to her normal state and replied

"I am indeed okay with it. But the reason behind my reaction is that you once told me that you never liked Rishi lingering around you to sign different documents."

"I know. But my state is also as same as yours. To level up in this bollywood game, you need to be associated with a popular name. And FASHION AND THE CITY calling you to be their model for their next project, no one could reject it. I am nothing different."

"Hearing your words I am reminded of the day I saw Rishi in front of me as my boss and since then I regret that he was the only person in this expansive world to be the CEO."

"I definitely do not have the power to be empathetic as you possess, but I can understand your state."

"Well, I had to ask you something?"

"Aha..

"What was so confidential between the two of you, that you had to actually go in a corner and converse with him?"

"Nothing dear. I was just asking him where his private jet was."

"Private jet?"

"Why? Don't you expect a CEO of such a humongous company to possess a private jet?"

"That's not the case. But if he had one then why he went on to travel through airplane?"

"That was my question to him!"

"And what did he say?"

Now this seemed like a dead-end for Bhavna as she was still raw in becoming an expert to lie to anyone. And as we say hundred lies to hide one truth, she also chose this path because now there was no looking back.

"He didn't say anything. He just said that he wanted to have breakfast with me to discuss some important matters related to this campaign."

"Oh.... okay. But why did you went in that corner to ask him such a silly question?"

Now this proved that Bhavna has clearly not learnt the tactics to lie effortlessly even if she was about to complete her 20's.

"I... actually.... ugh... I felt that.....

"You're stammering as always when you hide something. So you were lying right?"

"No that is not the truth."

"Then. what. is. the. truth?"

"Don't be so rude!"

"Fine. I guess I should Anu instead or if that doesn't works then I may take the help of my boss. And I am sure that he wouldn't deny me."

"If you ask Anu she will not open her mouth to even spit a word. And you know it. And if I talk about your boss then.....

"Then?"

Aliya felt the curiosity as to why this lady who never lied to anyone was now being forced to do so.

"Then he won't answer you."

"Why is that so?"

Now Bhavna lost her patience for Aliya to stop questioning but she didn't. And now she was ready to vomit the whole truth.

"Because he has tried his best to hide something or actually many truths from you and even from the world."

"How do you know that?"

"We know not due to he himself confessed but we spied on him for a long time. When Anu started to keep a track on Rishi's activities as she had that power to use, she was totally flabbergasted by what he had done. And when I was informed I was also stunned for a few minutes or you can say hours."

"If you hold on this suspense for even a minute, I am sure I will die. Bhavna please let me know. I beg you."

As soon as Bhavna revealed everything to her, Aliya was left blank.

Shock.

Distress.

Anguish.

These were the emotions which were evoked in her mind when Bhavna said those unbelievably true facts. These emotions were so strong that memories flashed in her mind and it engulfed her whole brain. Bhavna was at first scared that she might have hurt Aliya mentally, which soon unfortunately turned into reality.

With her wavering mind, not strong enough to bear this sudden shock her body closed her eyes, letting her lose all her senses and finally falling onto the bed. Bhavna was stand-still at this sight. Initially she didn't know how to react, but she soon recovered her senses and realized that Aliya's brain has actually succumbed to this shock and now she was unconscious.

"ALIYAAAA!!!!"

This scream reverberated around the corridor of the floor in which they actually were. Rishi also had booked his room next to Aliya so he was awaken due this sudden yelling of Bhavna. As soon as he heard her crying out for help, he rushed into the direction of this sound. He entered Aliya's room which was already opened.

As he entered, he found Aliya lying on the bed unconscious and Bhavna trying to wake her by sprinkling some water on her eyelids.

"I think this won't help. We need to rush to the hospital before anything worse happens to her. And if this actually happens, then you better be ready to face the consequences."

These piercing harsh words left Bhavna rooted in the place she was, while she watched Rishi carrying Aliya in his arms till his back totally disappeared from her sight.

Bhavna was left thinking as to why she would cause harm deliberately to her lifeline.

Blur.....

She saw someone familiar carrying her and running to the fastest pace possible. She unconsciously held his hand while she was being carried away from that person in a plank-like thing.

After that she again returned to her state of being unconscious.....
