Chapter 37: Chapter 37

"Don't you think the weather outside is not suitable for us? I mean for me to get there walking myself on the roads. What if I might catch cold?", Abeer asked trying to make an excuse for not going outside with her.

"Umm.. Is it so?", Khushi raised from her seat and went into the balcony to check on the surroundings.

"Oh no! Please don't come and say that you're fine with the weather thing because I can't go like this with you outside. It's not only dangerous for me but you too Khushi and I really can't put your life in danger just because of me. The person who saved my life how could I put hers in danger? ", Abeer questioned to himself.

" I have checked out the surrounding and I found the atmosphere really good Mr. Stranger. But if you have fear of might catching cold then I have a really good solution for your problem. ", Khushi said with a smirking face.

"Why her expressions made me think that there is something fishy?", Abeer asked himself gulping in fear.

"Boss I have a good news for you. That Abeer Malhotra whom you hate so much is dead now. And his position would be soon replace by his younger brother, Neil Malhotra at that ceremony which would be going to held after few days. Now he will be the new king of this Mafia world and your next and new rival.", Henry informed his boss, who was busy on his laptop.

" Do you really think this is a good news for me, Henry? I mean I am just sick of you and your late coming news. You always update me with something that I already knew. If you are not among my old trusted members then I would have thrown you out of my gang. ", Damion roared in his angry voice making Henry flinched at his place in fear.

" I.. I am... I am sorry Boss. I was just trying to update you with the latest news. ", Henry stuttered.

" You wanted me to keep updated with one month old news. Woah! ", Damion taunted Henry.

Damion, the second biggest dangerous man after Abeer in the Mafia world. He always tried to snatch that first position from Abeer but never got a chance for that. He doesn't believe in kindness neither in saying that have patience and time will show you the result. He believes in deciding on the spot and get the result as soon as possible. There is no point in waiting for miracle and that something finally good happens to a person after struggling and facing a lot of hurdles in their life.

But Damion was never like that. His past incidents and some unknown reasons was responsible for his rudeness and behaviour like this.

Damion knew that Henry, the person in his sixties, was suffering from Alzheimer disease and with time he forgot the incidents that happened in his life. But Damion never treated him like a sick person or showed his sympathy to him. Even after knowing that how dangerous Henry could be to him at times due to his sudden memory loss he never dismissed him from his work.

He knew that Henry put his service as his priority whole life and never learnt anything else apart from this . So now when he would have nothing to do after being fired from this job and sitting at home idle then he would surely overthink and probably want to end his life as he would never want to become a burden on his own family. His family members after knowing his condition abandoned him a long time ago as they won't take a chance of putting their life in danger due to Henry and this decision broken Henry's heart completely.

When Damion got to know about all this he was going to punish them in his own way but Henry stopped him from doing so as he loved his family genuinely and could not see them in danger so from that day Damion made sure he would never let him feel like a sick person and he would be a part of his gang even after his every mistakes.

"Boss, please forgive me. From next time I will bring some news that you are also not familiar with it. It would be totally fresh not stale. I promise.", Henry requested with his pleading eyes.

"Good. Now you may leave and please send Stella with my black coffee.", Damion ordered and again engrossed himself in his laptop.

"Sorry to disturb you Boss. But who is Stella now?", Henry asked scratching his head in confusion.

"Ahh... My personal secretary. Her desk was right in front of my cabin. Or you can just go out or call her name. She herself will stand up and comes to you.", Damion tried to explain and thankfully this time without asking any further questions Henry left from there.

" Just because you started looking after me you actually started treating me like a six year old mumma's boy. Ain't you? ", Abeer asked Khushi seeing himself in the mirror.

Khushi has made it mandatory for Abeer to put a monkey cap ( cap that generally children of small age used to wear on their head that cover theri whole face except their eyes and sometimes mouth) on his face to protect him from catching cold and Abeer was in no mood to accept his request but then Khushi ordered him like an angry mother and he was left with no other option than to listen to his mother's order like a good Mumma's boy.

But after glancing himself at the mirror he starter smiling at his own image. But also thanked Khushi mentally because unknowingly she helped Abeer this time too, by hiding his face so that when they go outside no one would be able to see him clearly as he had covered his face completely with this Monkey Cap.

"Hahaha... I can't stop laughing myself but what to do.. Now I'm sure that after wearing so many clothes sweaters , gloves, shocks and this cap. Cold or whatever flu outside there was roaming for you to get caught could not even dare to look at you. They will surely run away after seeing your protective shield with you. ", Khushi informed looking at Abeer's clothing style.

" These clothes can't protect me, my protective shield is you, Stupid Khushi. ", Abeer talked to himself in his mind looking at Khushi's smiling face.
