Chapter 20: Chapter 20

After taking his medicine Abeer dozed off for half an hour as he was not properly healed and his body was aching badly.

After taking his sleep now he was feeling good and now it's time for him to find a way so that he can contact Luca.

"I can't do it in presence of Khushi as she would again start using her detective mind and start throwing series of questions that seems no end.", Abeer thought in his mind.

That means I have to go outside and then only I can contact Luca. But for this, I have to inform her as I can't go outside without locking the door and I have no lock and key for this. May be she would give me one after I told her about this. But what if she would reject that idea and again start throwing her questions as bomb.

Oh no! I was so confused now. What to do? And how to contact him? Abeer was pacing here and there thinking every pros and cons of this. And finally came to the decision that he would not inform about this to Khushi.

And when he was getting ready to go outside then only the door bell rang making Abeer stopped in his way from taking his next move.

"Oh no! Did she came so early today from her job?", Abeer asked himself in his mind.

With shaking hands he dared to open the door only to see a lady carrying a basket and a cute girl wearing a baby pink frock and smiling like an angel together.

"Excuse me!", Abeer asked to the lady after looking at them.

"Oh hello! Actually I am your new neighbour. Just came here one week ago and we don't know anyone around here well, so just came to check if you have some free time then could you please join us to the garden area as I have thrown a small party there and invited every neighbours of mine to know them very well. And I would be glad if you can come. ", The lady replied smilingly.

And like this Abeer got his chance which he was searching for so long.

" Why not? I would love to join you guys there. You carry on and I am just coming in few minutes over there.",Abeer declared and the lady with her child left the place.

"That's the perfect chance now I can contact Luca easily without letting Khushi know about it.", Abeer was busy talking himself while closing the door behind him.

Khushi was busy doing her work when their the man in his early fifties, in black trousers and white suit, their Boss came from behind bringing everyone's attention towards him.

" So my dear staff members I have an announcement to made for you all.", the owner of the Hotel said with a poker expressions on his face.

"If Boss was going to announce something then it must be something really wrong I am telling you, Khushi.", Christian whispered near Khushi's ear.

"Shut up, otherwise before announcement he would announce the news of us fired from the job.", Khushi mumbled under her breath.

"So you all know that from few months our hotel was going in a great loss. We tried our level best to stop this thing but I am really sorry to say that now things went beyond our control and we have no way left to compensate this loss. So the only option left before us is to sell this hotel and I am no longer the owner of the hotel. As someone else bought it at such a higher cost in the bidding that from now onwards he will be your new Boss. ", Mr. Matthews announced with sadness visible on his face.

Everyone gasped in shock at the announcement made by their Boss. Mr Andrew Matthews.

" Oh my God. I can't believe it that God would listen to my request so early otherwise I would have requested him to give me a bungalow full of money so that I won't have to work at this stupid hotel anymore.", Christian mumbled slowly, remembering his morning conversation with Khushi where he mentioned that he did not want to watch his Boss's face anymore.

" But there is a good news waiting for you all. You want to know? ", The boss asked to his employees.

"Yesss.", everyone present there shouted together.

"Now you all won't work here anymore.", The Boss declared, making everyone numb at their place.

"Whatttt???", Khushi screamed and broke the silence.

"Yeah.. Young lady.", The boss replied with a smirking face.

Everyone was busy talking and enjoying themselves whereas Abeer was busy searching for someone who will give his mobile to Abeer for some time.

While searching, Abeer felt someone was pulling his leg and that caught his attention. He tried to sit down on his knees, matching the height of the person as she was none other than a cute girl of eight to nine years old, wearing a small red gown holding a small purse.

"Hello Mr. Handsome.", The little girl smiled shyly looking at Abeer.

"Hello Miss. Beautiful. What's your beautiful name?.", Abeer asked touching her cheeks.

"My name is Scarlett and what's yours?", The girl replied in her sweet voice.

"Umm.. My name is Mr. Handsome.", Abeer replied winking at her making her cheeks went crimson red.

"Ouchh! Looks like I made someone blush with my reply.", Abeer commented looking at Scarlett.

"I want to ask you one question, May I?", Scarlett asked with her shining eyes.

"Yeah.. Sure. You can, pretty girl.", Abeer replied.

"Will you become my boyfriend, Mr. Handsome?", Scarlett put her proposal in front of Abeer, making his eyes popped out in shock.
