Their jinxed love - Part 18


She stared at him speechlessly. She didn't understand why would anyone should feel bad when she was simply motivating a contestant. She didn't find anything wrong in what she did. "What are you saying ? How can it be wrong when I am motivating someone using lessons and experiences I learnt from you? Where was that personal conversation ? You weren't one who was depressed that day. I was ! I should be feeling bad , not you.", she spilled her emotion out.

Her words hit him hard. Somewhere inside him, he felt she wasn't wrong. She hadn't demeaned him anyway. She was only trying to encourage a contestant. After few minutes he spoke softly,"Sorry !" He opened door to go out and almost bumped into a crew member who looked stunned at him as if he was caught stealing something. "Sorry !", Gaurav said while wondering how many people he was going to hurt today. The crew member took a deep sigh , whispering to himself, "Thank God ! I am safe."

Something struck Gaurav whilst walking towards his car. He wondered, "What was that crew member doing near my van?" He rushed towards his vanity van to catch hold of that crew member. Unfortunately he was not there. He stomped one of his leg on the ground in anger. He knew it was Gajendra's idea. He rushed to Gajendra's office which was five minute walk from the set.

When he reached Gajendra's office, he found his secretary leaving and locking the door. "Where is he?", he asked firmly. The secretary was puzzled. "He left.", she said fearful with wide eyes. "Where?", he growled, unable to control his anger. "A...hhhmmm ... Home!", she replied weakly. He left without saying anything. He was angry. His nostrils flared like raging bull.  His mind filled with thoughts of what he was going to do with the sleazy director.


He zoomed his car to Gajendra's mansion, missing few signals and almost causing an accident. He reached Gajendra's mansion but was stopped by the security guards at the gate. "Sir, we cannot let you in. Gajendra sir had clearly asked us to not to let any guests in. He wants to be left alone.", one of guards spoke. This angered Gaurav. "What the hell? Tell him if he doesn't let me in, I will leave the show.", he snarled.

The security guard quickly called his boss, "Sir , There is someone called Gaurav who wants to meet you. I did tell him that you don't want meet anyone. But he is insisting and said that he would leave the show if you don't meet him." Gajendra was furious and let out a curse, "Bastard !" "Sir?", the puzzled security guard asked. "Let him in !", he replied.  He was in white kurta and pyjamas. He smirked thinking how he was going to handle Gaurav. He had to do something with Gaurav's constant blackmailing.
