Celebrity Crush Turned Deadly Love! novel Chapter 56

Yadav's PoV

I feel like this break is necessary. But I still switched my phone on at night to see if she had sent me any messages or voice notes as she usually does. Nope! Nothing! The feeling of disappointment pierce my heart every time. Ok, It's she who chased me for love. If she doesn't want it now, I don't care.

I landed in Chennai on Friday night after solving all the disputes smoothly in Japan. Once I switched my phone on, I got a call from Shiva. A friend is the one you can trust no matter what the situation is.

"Yes, Shiva."

"Dei, How was the trip? All ok? You were not reachable for the whole trip."

"Yeah everything is fine. I purposely went silent on this trip."

"Ok, Good that you had a little break. Don't forget that we have a lunch plan tomorrow."

"So you won’t tell me what or who we are meeting?"

"Wait until tomorrow!"

"Haha ok!"

"Yadav, Akshitha has done a great job in these 4 days. She finished all her assigned work before time and also helped in sorting out the new insurance policy details. She helped them sync our system to their's."

"Oh!"

"I'm amazed by how efficient she is."

"Good, So she has been busy all these days."

"Absolutely. She went late everyday. Good that Joshua was with her."

"Good."

"She is the right choice. We both had a little chat too. We are now friends."

"Good for you."

"Yadav, Are you ok?"

"Yeah, Just tired."

"Oh sorry, da. You take some rest. I will come in a cab tomorrow at noon. I don't want any media following us."

"Haha ok, da."

"Good night!"

"Bye da!" I went to bed pushing away everything from my mind. I slept so peacefully. No over thinking, No decision making. Just me and my work. It feels like ages since I have slept

so peacefully. I have lost my sleep soon after Shia came into my life.

The next day, I woke up very late with a swing of refreshment. I skipped breakfast and got ready to meet Shiva's special one.

"Good noon, my boy!"

"Good noon, dad. How are you?" I asked my dad.

"Good, It's been long since I've seen you this enthusiastic."

"A new day, New me!"

"See, I have always told you life will be beautiful when you find your love. Akshitha came along the way and you have changed completely. I love to see you this happy every single day." God, Not again.

"This is not what you think, dad. We have nothing like you anticipate." I ignored his ridiculous claim. I am happy and enthusiastic just because I have pushed her out of my mind. She is nothing but an intrusion.

"You cannot fool me, son. No news on you, No bad remarks. I have heard that you spent all your day with her in Coonoor. Besides, I have eyes, son. Your mom is so happy and So am I."

"Come on, dad. She is just a passing cloud." I told myself more than I told him.

"If you say so." my dad went in.

I dashed out of my home. It's her I see everywhere, It's her I hear about, It's her I always think about. I cannot fool myself. After Shiva's plan, I should meet her. I should tell her that I cannot stay sane if she ignores me.

I called Joshua.

"Hi Joshua, How are you?"

"Hello, sir. I'm good, thank you. You are back?"

"Yes, How is Shia?"

"She is doing good, sir. She is at a temple now with her.." I cut him off.

"Ok, Tell me when she is free and where. I want to meet her."

"Hmmm ours was a beautiful little family. Me, my dad and mom. My parents’ were a love marriage. They were not in talking terms with their families. My dad was into the travel business. He came to Chennai for a business trip and was caught in an accident. He was hit on his head and was brain dead."

"Sorry, My dad's accident was also similar. He was hit by a truck and died after 3 days in hospital."

"A truck? My dad's was a truck too." I cannot believe it.

"Oh, This is quite depressing. shall we talk about something else?" he asked.

"Sure!'' We talked for some more time and went to work.

My days went fast and it reached the weekend. I got too much into my work and worked late

until I was exhausted. Yash would have landed today. I must first go tell my athai and Raajiv my denial. After finishing them off I should go meet Yash and tell him that I am terribly sorry for my behavior.

I went to bed. Sleep took over me soon. I woke up early in the morning because I needed to drape the saree. Devaki aunty sent me a car and I went with a bye to Kavi.

"Come in, dear. You look gorgeous." Aunty welcomed me with a warm hug.

"Thank you, aunty."

"Hi, Akshitha, I'm Dheeksha. Nice meeting you.." a beautiful girl introduced herself to me.

"Hi, Dheeksha. Nice meeting you too. you look lovely."

"Awe thank you. You look beautiful too. Shall we go?"

"Um.. yes."

"Hi Akshu, You look beautiful." Raajiv came in.

"Um...thank you." I really don't like to receive his compliments but that is my problem.

This family is too good to tell my denial on their face. But I have to tell them soon. In the car,in the temple and in the car back, everytime aunty deliberately made me stay with Raajiv. Now in the restaurant too, there is only one space left and that is near Raajiv. Dheeksha is expecting guests. so there are 2 places beside her which I cannot take.

The sad part is I didn't get time alone with Raajiv. I sat near him and he helped me with

my saree.

"Hi Shiva, Hello, Mr.Yadav." Dheeksha spoke excitedly!

I jerked my head to see Yash with red eyes not even blinking once and his gaze never left my eyes!
