《You Who Touched My Life (Completed)》ch 32
Advertisement
Mr Ahuja's body is taken in for postmortem. He was stabbed the reports say, but the police couldn't find the murder weapon.
It was a burglary the police concluded. Mr Ahuja was in a drunk state and was quite vulnerable. He couldn't even manage to fight so they couldn't find any kind of DNA samples from his nails or anything else.
His wife is devastated. Or so it seems. Can she really kill her own husband? I know I shouldn't think like that but I just couldn't. She's tried to harm me multiple times and this murder happened right after I told her that he told me the truth. I'm soo stupid! Why didn't I shut up! An innocent man died because of me. How can I ever forgive myself?!
Ya Allah! Please forgive me!
Because of this case, the case from 3 years ago also surfaced because that bitch told the police in her statement that he became a drunkard because he witnessed his wife's rape back then and after digging into that case by the media, Kaif's name popped up.
The trauma from 6 years ago is back to haunt in that to more brutally not that he's Chairman. The stocks of the company that always kept rising as soon as he stepped into the company are falling viciously because of him. The shareholders are agitated and are pestering to take him down from his position.
He's working so hard but everything's falling apart. Mom and Dad are agitated too. They're blaming him and he's blaming himself for the loss of the company. He's stressed, hurting and broken inside. I can't see him like this anymore.
He came back home at 2 am last night. I fell asleep on the couch waiting for him. As I heard the car, I woke up and ran to check on him, his condition brought tears to my eyes. He looked so tired as if he would just pass out. By one look I could say he even didn't had a drop of water to drink. His eyes were blood shot due to lack of sleep and stress.
I just hugged him sobbing.
"Kaif, what's wrong with you love? What have you done to yourself? It's ok....everything will be ok. Please don't blame yourself.... it's not your fault."
"Huh! Then whose fault is it. I just became the chairman of the company that my grandfather and father spend thier blood and sweat to bring at this level and with 1 work I brought it all crashing down. It's all because of me Naila. I.... I should just....step.... down..." He said faltering in his steps. He was dizzy. I helped him lay on the couch. I touched his forehead and he had a high fever.
My brain went in a frenzy. I didn't know what to do. Should I call a doctor soo late? That won't be good. I rushed to the kitchen and brought back cold water in a bowl and a cloth. I placed the wet cloth over his head. I began reading Ayatul Kursi and other duas on him. I was just soo scared.
I made some soup for him, running out of the kitchen every minute to check on him. Just a few days ago we were so happy, like nothing bad could ever happen. What kind of test is the Lord taking?!
His fever was just a bit down. I lifted him a little leaning his body on my as I sat on the couch. He could hardly keep his eyes open. He moaned as if in pain. He must be having body aches. I feel soo helpless. I slowly fed him the soup which he hardly drank half of. I dissolved the tablet for him in some water and made him drink it like he did for me last time.

He fell asleep instantly. I held him closer as I looked at his tired face with tears in my eyes. He looks like a vulnerable little child. He looks soo pale with such deep dark circles under his eyes, even his beard is overgrown. He didn't take care of himself at all. What a worthless wife am I who couldn't even do anything while her husband suffers!
It's all your fault Naila.
He was shivering now so I ran to the room coming back with a big blanket and covered him with it. I wish I was as strong as him then I could easily lift him and take him to the room atleast like he does to me.
I woke up and found myself on the couch. When did I get here? I was covered in sweat and a wet cloth was over my head. I sat up but my body felt weak. My eyes widened to see the time. It was 2:30 in the afternoon?! How long did I sleep?
I had to go to the office. I got up hastily but it was a bad idea as my head spinned I sank on the couch again. When I finally I regained my composure I heard Naila's faint noise coming from our room so I got up and slowly made my way there.
She was crying in her Salah. Her hands lifted in dua ...
"Ya Ar-Raheem have mercy on us my lord.... please make this test of yours easy on us, ya Al Muhaymin please protect us.... protect my husband from that woman, ya Al Gafaar, you forgive everyone, please forgive my sins, don't make my husband face the punishment because of me ...punish me all you want but please Ya As- Salaam bestow your peace on him.... don't let him suffer soo much. My heart hurts to see him suffer so much.
Ya Al-Baseer, Ya Al-Sami, Ya Al-Aleem,
You see, hear and know everything. My Lord, you know my husband is innocent, you've seen how much he has suffered. Please end his sufferings now, bestow his part of happiness on him Ya Al Wahaab..... Take away my happiness for him if it takes, but please.... please Ya Allah.... End his misery.... please...."
I sat and hugged her from behind silently. I didn't know what to say anymore. My heart ached. How can she love me soo much! Ya Ar-Rahmaan! I'm soo greatful to you. Thankyou soo much for bringing her in my life.
She began crying harder.
"Kaif.... you're ok!"
"Yes.... I'm ok because of you and your prayers. Don't cry anymore. Please." I begged her.
She turned to me and hugged tight.
"I was soo scared.....oh Kaif! I..... I love you soo much...... please don't fall sick ever again..... don't work soo hard.... don't be soo sad.... please...."
I got back to cup her face in my hands and wipe her tears. I kissed both her eyelids.
"How can I when I have such a loving wife?" I smiled and kissed her shivering lips.
"It's all happening because of me Kaif. Just because I came into your life...."
"My life has been blessed." I said stopping her knowing what her next words would be.
She shook her head.
"First she was after me now again she's after you all because of me. Say Kaif....what if I just disappear from your life?"
I hugged her tightly as the fear coarsed through me at just the mere thought of it.
"Don't you dare say something stupid like that ever again!" I yelled.

"Do you think I can live without you? I'm only holding on is just because of you. Right now the whole world is against me, the company's at stake, my innocent employees and poor workers are suffering, all because of me yet I still have my sanity is all because of you Naila! You're faith in me....in our marriage....our love gives me strength to go on. If you leave to, I'm just as good as dead." I let my tears on the crook of her neck.
She rubbed my back to placate me.
"I'm sorry I said that. You're right. You're holding on because of me then how can I leave you alone. I'm your wife, it's my duty to be by your side."
She looked at me.
"It's our battle now....that we'll fight together. Don't worry Kaif, we'll both find a way. I have faith in Allah, he won't let us down." She smiled but her eyes looked different ...intense like she was plotting something.
"Hey Naila...."
"Hm."
It's best I change the topic.
"I'm kinda hungry. Can you make something for me?"
Her face lit up and she smiled from ear to ear.
"Of course. Why didn't you say so before?" She pecked the tip of my nose and jolted up folding the salah mat hastily, removing her scarf and socks and ran out towards the kitchen. I went behind her.
She came back and gave a long wet kiss on my cheek.
"Just give me a few minutes jaan. I'll make something yummy for us."
It made me smile.
"Ok, I'll take a shower till then."
"Yes boss!" She yelled from the kitchen. I grinned to myself and made my way in.
I stood below the hot shower and the water travelled down washing off the sweat and my fatigue.
I should really take a shower with her sometimes. The thought of seeing her wet and naked as the water falls down her curves was fastening by breath. I chuckled at myself. Even in this situation I can think about that huh? Seriously! What has this woman done to me?!
###
I came out and the food was already being set on the table. She had a huge smile on her face.
"Thank you." I said taking my seat. She sat beside me and waited for me to take a bite.
"Um... it's good. Did the sun rise from the west today?" I joked.
She giggled instead of being angry.
"Because I've put all my love in it today and BTW, Kaif..... I think I have an idea."
I made Kaif rest at home as I went to the office. All the employees had a tensed expression on their faces. I went to Mr. Arnav's cabin.
"Bhabhi? You're here. Where's boss?" He seemed tired too.
"I told him to rest. When he came home last night, he had such a high fever." I informed.
"Thank God! He's finally taken a break. For the past few days he has been working like machine. Not eating not sleeping....just work work work! It was painful to see him like that. I was tempted to call you and ask you to take him away but he wouldn't let me." He said.
"The news had really a huge impact on the company."
"Mr Arnav, tell me honestly. Do you hate Kaif too? All this time that you've known him do you think he could do something like that?" I asked.
"Ofcourse not Bhabhi. Even if he's a bit cold or ignorant, he respects women so much. All the female employees too sing his praises. He always lowers his gaze in front of them, thanks to him there's not even a single case of sexual harrassment in our company because he's way to strict regarding the law. He respects every lady, even the cleaning staff even if he doesn't use sweet sugar coated words like others. Other than that, he's a great boss. He cares and respects all his employees, he corrects us if we're wrong, he might be strict but he knows our limits and never forces us to do more. He's a great leader, he inspires and motivates us. If I may dare to say, he's even better than his father. He makes us want to work for this company and not just for salary sake and these aren't just my words, everyone here will say the same thing. If he isn't around I don't know what will happen of this company."
His words brought a smile on my face. I felt soo proud of my Kaif.
"Mr Arnav, I have yet another favor to ask of you....."
###
"For a while the news about Alam group's new CEO Kaif Alam's regarding his dark past were in a lot of light because of which his dismissal was in talks but now for a past few days a new hashtag on twitter and also many other social media platforms has emerged. It's #ourawesomeboss
This hashtag has been popularized by his employees. With this they all are showing their immense love and support to thier new Chairman and formal CEO.
"He's the best boss in the whole wide world!"
"He's my inspiration!"
"He's the best leader!"
"We feel safe and confident to have him as our boss."
"He's not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside!"
"He's the most hardworking and passionate person I've ever seen."
"He might never let any of the employees do much overtime but he would even stay in his office till the next sunrise working sometimes."
And many more good things are being said and praises are being showered on Kaif Alam. With this the stocks of the company which were falling down are now again raising impressively.
We had a candid interview with many of his employees. They shared their stories about what an amazing person their boss is.
"He once saved me from one of the managers who tried to misbehave with me when I was just an intern. He himself made it known to the authority and even got him fired. He didn't even care what effect it might have on the company's reputation. Oh God! He was soo awesome at that moment, I literally fell in love with him.
He's the best!"
"He gave me a extra bonus for my mother's operation and told me I have to pay back by working hard but never forced me to do overtime. He inspired me to work harder not just for my salary but for the sake of the company. He's the best leader!" A male employee said.
"He does more charity than anyone I've known. He has easily spend 100s of crores only on charity."
Just like those many other employees had just word of praises for him. It has forced the shareholders to take back their decision of dismissing him.
The news said.
Soon enough everything was turning back to normal. The news from 6 years ago was now turning into just a rumour, the stocks of the company were reaching heights and my Kaif was back to being the loved and respected CEO he was before. I knew it, Allah always shows a way out, he always rewards the good honest people and punishes those who do wrong. My Kaif's honesty and sincerity to his work and life paid off and my sincere prayers were heard.
Alhumdullilah....
As he entered the office today, the employees welcomed him with applause and cheering. I could say he was shy and soo touched by all of them.
"I really don't know how to thank you all. It's because of you'll that we could save this company and....well, me. I'm truly grateful to you'll. You're all the best employees any employer could ever ask for. Just because you're a part of this family....this company, we are what we are right now. Thankyou soo much everyone for your hard work and sincerity. Thank you for what you did for me." Kaif said.
They all cheered. I felt soo proud that my eyes moistened.
"It was all Bhabhi's idea boss." Mr Arnav said.
"Yes, she's the one who called us all and asked us so sincerely to express our opinion of you whether it be negative or positive on social media. You're such a good boss that we could hardly find anything bad to write about you." One of the employees said.
Kaif looked back at me surprised as I stood behind him. I shrugged shyly.
"The saying is right, Behind every successful man there is a woman." Mr Arnav said and everyone agreed with him.
Kaif smiled and stretched his hand for me. I shyly took it and he walked towards me.
"That's right. For me that's my Naila ...my beautiful wife, my friend and the love of my life." He said in front of everyone as he gazed into my eyes.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as my heart jumped with pride and joy. We could hear the teasing and cheering of the employees which made me turn red like a tomato.
Just like that, we overcame another obstacle together. But it wasn't over yet, it won't be over until she pays for her sins and my Kaif is proven truly innocent. We had won the battle not the war.....as the war was just about to begin.....
