CHAPTER 53 Who is the boss here?
In the past two days, Rudra left before Tanvi woke up, and they did not speak for even a minute. Tanvi was satisfied since her attempt to not see him succeeded.
Rudra is busy reducing the losses and maintaining a balance in the company. With the continuous target of Diana, Lucas, and his small enemies’ unification, days are hectic for him.
Though they did not initiate a personal attack from the day, he married Tanvi, he is more than positive that this is not the time for him to relax. It is another calm before the storm, and he knows it better than anyone.
Tanvi spent hours in the garden designing the plan for her brand. She is determined to establish a brand on her behalf.
In the previous months, she was busy with office work. But now, she can completely focus on her fashion designing career. “I guess this is the one thing that is keeping me sane”
She analyzed and was involved in the sketches again. “I always dreamt of becoming a reputable fashion designer and creating my brand.”
She was lost in her thoughts, “How one day my brand will be successful and is recognizable. Yay!! I am going to make it work. I will increase the pace and will launch this as early as possible.” Tanvi felt proud of herself.
Tanvi felt drained out and wanted to explore more for her brand endowment. She got dressed up in an open neck sleeves blacktop tucked along with a flared spandex dark green palazzo and a black leather jacket.
She put on a light mack up, wore nude matte lipstick and tied her hair in a high ponytail, and took her Gucci quilted shoulder bag. She put on her goggles, checked her look once before she leaves the room, and felt content. Satisfied with herself, she decided to go out for shopping.
Tanvi hummed her favorite song and reached the entrance of the mansion. When she is about to step out, the bodyguards stopped her. “What are you doing?” She questioned them cautiously.
“We can not allow you outside, madam.” They spoke with patience.
“Why?” She gave a puzzled look.
“It’s Boss orders, madam.” They said apologetically.
“That’s not my problem.” She declared and is about to go out, but they blocked her way.
“Madam, if you wanted to go out, then took permission from Boss. If he allowed you, then there is no objection from us.” They said with determination.
“Uh!!! What the fuck is wrong with these people? Am I a prisoner or what?” She screamed at herself. “Ask your Boss.” She demanded them.
“But Madam…,” they are confused about what to do?
“Do it now,” She shouted at them annoyingly.
They immediately dialed Rudra but he is in an important meeting, which is a big business deal, and he needed it the most to climb to the top while keeping behind the losses.
Maahir responded to the bodyguards, not wanting to disobey his boss’s orders. “Sir,” they said with hesitance visible in their voice. “It’s me, Maahir.” He said.
“Maahir, there is a big problem.” They said with worry. Maahir immediately became alarmed, “What happened?”
“Madam wants to go out, but sir has given strict orders not to allow her outside without his permission.”
“Huh!!! Boss is in an important meeting. He gave me a stringent command not to disturb him until unless it is a crucial issue.” He said in a defeated tone. “Oh, no!! It seems we are stuck in this dead-end now.” The bodyguard’s mood soured.
“Try to talk to madam for some more time,” Maahir suggested.
“No, Maahir. It is of no use. Madam is adamant and stubborn like our Boss.” They didn’t know what to do and struggled for a solution.
Time is ticking by, and Tanvi is losing her patience. “I am not running from him know. I only wanted to go out and explore, but these people are making a fuss out of it.” Her mood dampened with the delay. She came out and asked them, “What did he say?”
“We are sorry to say this, Madam. Sir is busy with an important business meeting. We couldn’t be able to get him online.” They said with their heads down in a subdued mode.
“Is this freaking hell or what? I just want to go out, but why are you making a commotion with this small issue?” Tanvi yelled at them.
The helpless bodyguards received her violent cursing and did not utter a single word. They were shocked to see her losing cool, but they were not supposed to give her the real reason.
“If it is necessary, then you all can accompany me, but I want to go out now.” She declared with persistence. Listening to her words, they were baffled.
“We are extremely sorry, Madam. We can not cross our boundaries. The Boss order should be the final one. We can not decide on his behalf.” They are defenseless.
By hearing their words, Tanvi became mad. “Screw you all and your boss.” She squealed and ran upstairs. The bodyguards are dumbfounded and gave a stunned expression and calmed down.
Tanvi tried to control herself, but her rage keeps on increasing, “What did he think of himself?”
“That bastard Rudra is even showing authority on me now? Am I his puppet or what?” It is freaking her out.
“Who the hell is he and not allowing me to go outside?” Tanvi reached her peak and lost her composure.
She stood in front of the mirror and broke it with her punch. Blood started dripping from her knuckles uncontrollably, yet she remains unfazed.
Her body got used to this kind of pain, but Tanvi is shocked to behave like this. “It’s been many years since I am this crazy. What happened to me? Why I am acting like a spoiled brat?”
With the nerve-racking stress, she breaks the furniture and everything else, which is possible to be damaged. Their bedroom is in chaos, and she is in a mess with blood gushing from her hands and the despair grim.
The maids and bodyguards are terrified by hearing the sounds from their bedroom. It’s been hours, and the cries and sounds from the room are not dead yet.
They tried to enter the room, but her screams shrieked them with fear. Her flashes of the past haunting her horribly, and she is not in a position to bear them. “You can not do this to me. Don’t do this… please. Go away from me.” She roared with a hoarse voice.
The people in the house are bewildered, and one of the maids dialed Rudra’s number. By that time, the meeting has just ended, and he is in a good mood since it went great. Maahir is about to inform him about Tanvi, and his phone beeped. Rudra took the phone and answered in a glance.
“Hello Sir, Madam is behaving differently. Please come and check on her.” She said in a worried tone.
Rudra’s mood spoiled, and in a split second, he started coming home. Maahir’s forehead was creased and is dripping with sweat due to the tension, and he decided to inform Rudra.
“Boss!!!” He said while contemplating. Rudra gave him a nod and is expecting him to open up further.
“The bodyguards called me about madam when you are in the meeting,” Maahir said in an upset tone.
“Why didn’t you intimate me then?” Rudra growled at him with rage. “I thought this is not any high prior issue.” Maahir lowered his head with guilt.
“Oh. So, you decided on my behalf? You got the guts then.” Rudra sardonically questioned.
Maahir didn’t dare to talk back at Rudra when he is this frustrated. He remained silent. “Who is the boss here? Is it you or me?” Rudra screeched with annoyance. Maahir shrieked with fear and said, “You, sir.”
Rudra gave a sly grin and said, “Great. It seems you remembered it. Then why did you do it?”
Maahir was at a loss of words. He didn’t expect this to escalate to this extent. He wanted to say, but words are not coming from his mouth.
“I am sorry, boss. This will not repeat again. Anything about madam will be immediately reported to you in any situation from now on.” He said in a low voice without maintaining eye contact with Rudra.
Rudra nodded and gave a warning. “If it repeats, you know me better than others.”
With that, Maahir became dumb and swallowed his words not having any courage left to speak with his boss.
In an hour, Rudra’s car halted with a big roar in front of his mansion. He came out of his Rolls Royce and addressed the bodyguards, “What happened?”
Seeing Rudra’s cold glance, they started quivering. “Boss!! We are sorry. Madam wanted to go out but we did not allow her to do so.” They said with regret and terror.
“We did not dare to cross your orders, we tried reaching you but that didn’t happen. So, we did not permit her and she became horribly upset.” Rudra nodded.
He entered his mansion and started listening to the screams and cries of Tanvi. He was baffled by her reaction and his heart sank.
In an instant, he jumped on the stairs and reached their room. He was startled when he opened the door and observed their tumultuous room.
He immediately started searching for Tanvi, then a loud cry from the lounge, “Please… leave me. Don’t… Don’t hurt me. Don’t do this… to me.”
Terror struck Rudra and he dashed to the lounge. His heart was pricked with pain seeing her with blood oozing out and the broken look.
He immediately went to her and she shouted but she didn’t respond as she was in her daze. He remained still not knowing what to do.
His heart ached so much that words are not coming from his mouth. He slowly held her in his arms and comforted her back while whispering soothing words to her. “Relax sweetheart. It’s me. No one is going to hurt you. Nothing is happening to you.”
She still did not respond but the severity is reduced. He lifted her and carried her out of the room, all the maids, bodyguards, and Maahir were dumbfounded seeing Tanvi with that miserable look but didn’t dare to voice out their opinion.
