The evening was hell tiring and the extreme summer climate of the sands.Umable to bear the double torture on my body and mind ,I wanted some sort of relief and I knew who could give me that.

With badly throbbing head and sweaty cologne which was the result of hot summer noon in spite of air conditioned building as I am not habituated to such kind of climate ,I entered inside my hotel room.

I dumped my coat on the couch and searched for the figure I badly needed that moment and...my eyes halt in front of her who was back facing me leaning in the cupboard.I stood behind her observing her moves keenly.

She remained quite though she sensed my presence as her frantically moving hands inside the cupboard started shivering.I slowly slide my hands in her waist thus she became stiff and turned to me with her ever so charming smile.

"What are you upto beautiful...?"I hushed digging my head in the thick canopy of her hairs .

"Going for a quick shower before slipping into the bed..."she replied while untying my tie.

"Me too..."I bit her lower lip.."with you.."and I picked her up in my arms and made my way to the bathroom as it was fucking hard for me to control my overpowering desires for some more time.

"Umm... please..ssstoppp.."a moan erupted from her throat when my trained lips started flopping dew kisses on her neck to the shoulders.The cold water droplets were failed to decrease the hotness between two of us.

"Randhir.... please.."she lightly pushed me making me groan hard in irritation.I was high on my hormones as this woman is giving me a hard time.Whats wrong with her...!

I drifted apart myself from her and had a look on her face .She was lost.I couldn't decipher anything in her ocean blue eyes.I cupped her face in my hands.

"Hey...is there something bothering you.. please tell me if it is related to me or my family..did Dad say something..hmm.."I asked her as calmly as I could.

"Randhir..this is wrong..in fact I am wrong in this relationship which has no future..and I can't blame you for that..you were clear with your feelings since beginning..but I think I ditched my own self.."she spoke .Her voice hurled depicting a certain kind of fear which I've seen earlier in few of my bed mates but it held a strange deepness far beyond my mind to register.

"What do you mean Chloe.. please don't beat about the bush and tell me whatever is going inside in this tiny brain of yours..."I said turning off the shower and wrapped the bathrobe around her body .

"It's not my brain but heart.."she mumbled looking down on the tiles.

She didn't say anything further and moved out of the bathroom leaving a hell confused me who followed her footsteps without wasting any moment.

"Chloe...you know who I am...?"I raised my pitch pulling her by forearms.

"Randhir..I think I am falling for you.."she confessed the last thing I wanted to happen in my life.

I left her arm and took few step back trying to analyze her words.

Is she saying that she loves me..?

"Chloe..but..I..I mean.."I tried a futile attempt to strike a conversation after a death drop silence of few minutes.

"Hey..it's okay Randhir..as I said..there is no fault of yours.You had told me that our relation is limited in the bee only but my traitor heart..it got used to your touches and.."she could not speak as her sobs became louder .

I felt helpless and guilty at the same time.I should have controlled myself that night so that an innocent girl wouldn't have been gone through a heart break.

I was battling with my inner self when somebody banged on the door fiercely.

"Who the hell is there..?"I yelled on the person totally pissed off by my messed up life.

"It's me..brother.."Andy replied ,her voice was shaking giving me a negative vibe .

I quickly wore my clothes and opened the door only to witness my feasted sister crying hysterically.A sudden panic rushed through my spine.

"Hey baby what happened..."I asked her .

"Brother..grand.. Grandpa..he.."she couldn't speak due to continuous crying.

The mention of my Grandpa drained the blood from my veins.

"Grandpa.. where is Grandpa..what happened to him..tell me Andy.."I yelled on my sister.Every passing moment was like hell to me.

"Grandpa had been found in the garden unconscious.He probably got a heart attack..as the people saying..who came to inform Dad.."she told me causing me to shiver terribly.

I pushed her aside and ran towards his room .My eyes started beaming with tears .His state reminded me of the time when I lost my Grandma to whom I was attached more than anyone else.She took a great care of me like my real mother.I was devastated and shattered without her.She was not only my grandma but a friend with whom I could share my secrets,sorrows ,worries , happiness everything.Everynight I used to had nightmares which I hide from the world with the mask of ruthlessness.

After her death,Grandpa filled her absence in my life.

I can't imagine the picture of my life without him being in it.When I along with my family entered in his room,I found my real hero lying fragile weak straw man with the oxygen mask and other beeping machines attached

to him.My heart pained watching him gasping for breath.He had his eyes closed .All those bitter memories started flashing in my mind when my grandma was on her death bed.I couldn't save her but I won't let anything happen to my grandpa no matter if it might ask for my life..I will happily give it away.

××××××××

I opened my eyes when someone's whisper hit my ear drums.I jerked my head to shrug the dizziness for my eyes and there I found my Grandpa looking at me with his million dollar smile.Thus reality hit me.I fell asleep keeping my head on his bed when we both were talking in the afternoon.

"Hey Grandpa do you want something.."I asked him .

"Yes..I want something from you..will you give me..?"he said anticipating an answer which he wanted.

"Just order Grandpa..it will be in

front of you in no time..I promise you.."I assured him.

"Promise me Randhir you won't back out from what I am going to ask you.."he warned me again with a smirk.

"I have your blood in my veins..so shoot..I won't say no to whatever you will ask me to do.."I returned his smirk.

He took my hands into his shivering hands and squeezed them .

"Randhir..I am worried who will look after you when I won't be in this world.."he said thus raising my anger.I withdrew my hands and gave him a hard glare.

"You're not going anywhere..do you get that.."I spated in a cold tone.

"Ronny I am 72 ..I am not going to

get younger.Its the time you must engage yourself in some new relationships.."he said .

I narrowed my eyes at him as I was not getting his words.

"By engaging you mean marriage and woman..."I rolled my eyes thus his face wrinkled as he laughed on my statement.

"I think my grandson can understand my unspoken feelings.."he said,"So yes I want you to get married .."

"You're joking.."I pointed my index finger at him.I knew he was serious.He usually doesn't joke

often my.

"If you get married with girl of my choice,I will give you the spot of CEO and your father can't even move you from your position.."he spoke the most dreadful thing.

I always wanted the position my Grandpa was holding .For that I could go against my Dad but Dadu would come up with such idea that left me speechless.

"What if I say no to your proposal.."

I said .

"Then you can never work for "Shekhawat Enterprises" not even as a sweeper.."he chipped determinedly.

I wanted to cry,to yell.I hate thr species called women.How could I spend my whole life with a single woman.

Holy fuck..!

"Dadu.. try to understand .Woman like grandma doesn't exist anymore.They are only after fame and money..moreover I am happy with my current position and with my mates.."I told him my decision.

"Randhir..this is the last thing I am asking from you.I promise I will never ever ask you anything til the day I will be alive.."he said in a pleading voice.

I glanced at him.His eyes were moist.Neither I could deny him nor forget Chloe as she was the best among the rarest in the species called women.

"Okay fine I will marry with the girl

of your choice.."I ran my fingers in

my thick hairs.

"Thank you so much..Randhir you made me the happiest man alive.."he chirped like a child who got his favorite candy.

"But tell me who is that lucky girl ,who will share my name.."I mocked at him frustratingly.

"Sanyukta..the girl who saved my life.."he said and my world crashed down.

"I yelled in bewilderment.
