Chapter 35: Chapter 35

"Hey! Mr. Stranger open the door. Are you outside?", Khushi shouted from the other side of the door.

"Yeah.. Coming.. Coming..", Abeer walked to the door and opened it up instantly.

"Why did you lock me inside? You knew it that I was inside then also?", Khushi questioned narrowing her eyebrows.

"Umm.. Actually just like last night, I locked it mistakenly. God know why? I started forgetting things more often now.", ABEER replied touching his head injuries.

"Ohh! I am sorry. It's okay.. It happened. Don't stress yourself too much.", Khushi said with worried expressions on her face.

"Thank god! My lie did not get catch red handed.", Abeer talked to himself in his mind.

"I think I should go and consult with the doctor about his condition. As I can see there is no any hint of him remembering anything related to his past.", Khushi thought in her mind.

"Khushi if you're staying home today then why not you go outside and have some friends with your friends or some of your relatives?", Abeer suggested so that he would have some privacy to look into his matter more seriously.

But little did he know that the topic he raised made Khushi a little bit emotional.

" I don't have any. ", Khushi said turning around and went towards her room again leaving no chance for Abeer to ask anything else related to this topic.

"Neither she talked about her family nor she has any friends except Christian, Is not it really strange?", Abeer questioned to himself in his mind.

"I mean I'm not judging her. Noone has the power to judge someone without listening to their side of story. But the more I wanted to reveal her secrets the more she try to ran away from me. Is it normal or Is she really hiding something from me?", Abeer asked to himself.

"All I knew about her till now is that she lived in this apartment and managed all her expenses all alone. Neither she has any boyfriend nor has any habit of drinking, smoking. She has a family in India but she did not want to talk about them neither she talk with them. She is always ready to help others even if it costs her life. How in this fucking selfish world can someone be so pure? How could she live her life like a saint? What if she would be a devil in place of saint?", Abeer's mind questioned, creating doubts in his mind.

" What about if she really is an angel and you are only doubting her because of your evil mind. Because the place where you belong we can't trust someone blindly. Noone really knows when their own member became a traitor to their own gang.", Abeer's heart answered to his mind.

" Why always you two go poles apart? Can't you go together for something? ", Abeer asked complaining to himself.

"Are you okay or Is there something wrong with you?", Khushi's question made Abeer turned his head towards the source of voice and then only he realised Khushi had seen him talking with himself while ago.

"Oh! fuck", Abeer mumbled cursing himself under his breath.

"I'm getting bored that's why I was talking to myself for passing my time. Nothing serious. Don't worry.", Abeer said scratching his head.

"Is it so? Then why not we go outside and have some fresh air as it's my day off too.", Khushi suggested with a blooming voice.

"Oh no! I just made that excuse to save myself I guess I invited trouble with my excuse.", Abeer whispered.

"So plan fixed.. After breakfast we'll go out for a walk so that we have some fresh air to relax our mind and soul.", Khushi declared making her way towards the kitchen for making their breakfast.

"Okay.", Abeer replied with no choice left.

"What if my enemies were searching for me outside? I have no weapon with myself to protect me!", Abeer exclaimed thinking deeply about this topic.

"Boss I am sorry... I am really sorry... please leave me. Leave me this time.. I will not do this again.", One of the staff member of the hotel requested while cleaning the table with the cloth piece.

"I don't have fucking time for your nonsense, Ace. Just do whatever I said to you right now otherwise you know the consequences better than me.", Neil roared in his devilish voice.

With no option left in front of Ace, he picked up the hot soup bowl and put his fingers inside it.

The burning sensation made him screamed at the top of his lung but he put his hand on his mouth so that his scream could not come out of his mouth.

"Good boy. Now you will remember this lesson in your mind forever that serving anything before me you should be careful from next time onwards otherwise you know the consequences better.", Neil said, with a smirking face.

Ace took the bowl and left from there bowing down his head.

" Ace, let me apply cream to your wound. Otherwise, the pain won't let you use your hand for doing any work. ", Robert suggested seeing Ace's burning hand.

" This pain would heal with time Robert but what about the pain I'm suffering mentally after losing my boss, I can't believe that the owner of this hotel, Abeer Malhotra is no more and his place got replaced by his cousin brother, Neil Malhotra who was totally a very different person from him not just by his personality but also from his attitude towards his employees. ", Ace told with moistened eyes.

" You are right Ace, I can understand your pain very well. We all know our boss had a heart of gold. We all respected him by heart not because he was our boss but because of his good nature and attitude towards us. ", Robert replied remembering Abeer's memories spent with them.

Apart from the Mafia world, Abeer has build a very good reputation in white collar and business world too with his legal business of hotels, restaurants, and many more.

And this hotel was one of his favourite in terms of liking as he was closely attached with the staff members working here from such a long time.
