Author's pov

Morning...

Ernest came in his room after jogging and glanced at Ruhi, who was still sleeping.

He strolled his steps to her, removed her bangs from her forehead, and caressed bandage on her forehead.

Meanwhile, he saw, his phone light was blinking as Edwin was calling him, he picked his phone from side table and went towards the balcony and closed the glass door.

"Speak, Edwin."

"Ernest, where the hell were you? I called you numerous times before, and still calling you, but you were not receiving my call, why?"

"Calm down, Edwin. What happened? Why are you calling me in early morning?"

"You wicked, do you know what time it is here?"

"Maybe, 2 o' clock. But, Why the hell have you wake up in midnight?"

"Ernest, don't test my patience. Just because of you, I'm hella worried here as why you are not receiving my call...But you–"

"Edwin, my phone was on silent mode, that's why I didn't receive your call. But now tell me, why have you been calling me since last night?" He said as checking his missed calls in his phone.

"Have you found your assistant Ruhi?"

"Huh? ... How do you know about her? "

"Rachael had told me."

"What?"

"Yup! Now tell me, have you found her?"

"Yes, I have already found her," He said as catching a glimpse of Ruhi through the glass door.

"For the first time, you have been so worried for someone. But, Isn't she is the same girl about whom you said that she is having an affair with Raja Saheb? Then, why the hell you were so worried for her? And why have you brought her with you there? I don't understand what the hell are you doing nowadays? Please tell me. Do you know, I am still making presentation of XGD project in midnight? and you don't care about me, when will you come back, dammit?" He shouted with his full energy while stomping his foot.

"Edwin, Relax!!"

"Firstly tell me everything, then I will be calm down."

"Ok, listen- Ruhi is not having any affair with that old man. I was misunderstanding her for the whole time, and I have brought her here with me for work purpose–"

"What do you say?? You were misunderstanding her for the whole time?"

"Yes, Edwin, actually—"

"ERNEST EDWARD ARTHUR, how can you say just casually like you were misunderstanding her the whole time? Because of it, she has endured so much harshness of you for those poor farmers."

"I know, Edwin. I was wrong but–"

"Just shut up, Ernest!! You were blaming her, and judging her character without knowing the truth and harassing her till now. How could you do that? And now what had you done to her as she got disappeared all of sudden."

"EDWIN!! LISTEN TO ME, FIRST!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH HER!" Ernest retorted and got silent for while, continued,"I admit Edwin, I was wrong for the whole time, but the situation was such that I had a misconception that they were having an affair, and you were right that i will regret it if she came out really naive.Because she was an innocent for the whole time and I was wrong since the begining."

"Ernest, now what will you do?"

"Edwin, I had already given them that land free for cropping for three years, and because of it, Ruhi was working with me. But now I have decided to give them that land forever–"

"Hey, you are in so much guilt that you are giving them your crores worth of land for free.

"Yes, I am giving them as that land is only livelihood for them. As you have told me before– Its not right. By crushing someone happiness to build a house on it."

Edwin smiled as his friend got understand what he wanted to understand him before, but he was worried for his orphanage plan so he asked,"But what about your orphanage plan or your mother's dream?"

"I have already find out the another land for my orphanage, and I don't need this land now because one of the farmers has tried to commit suicide for that land too," He replied.

"What?"

"Yes."

"Well, what about Ruhi? Will you still force her to do work with you?"

"No, Edwin. I will not force her now to do work with me."

Edwin smirked as heard him and thought as Ernest got changed so much and continued,"you have made a great choice. But now you have to ask apologise from her as you were wrong about her."

He hummed as heard him.

Edwin added further," Hey! but you didn't told me still, what have you done as she got disappeared all of sudden?"

"Dammit! I didn't do anything. She got disappeared on her own as she had gone to buy grocery while I have refused her to go outside but she..she didn't listen me, but there, she has done great work to saved siddharth's grandmother as sending her to hospital on time as she had got hit by some truck driver yesterday night, and she was also there, so she saved her."

"Ernest, now I can consider her generosity because granny had also told us on dinner that how generous she is! Do you know she had made indian dessert for Kamal Granny, so she also had us to eat that sweet which was very tasty. Especially, Meera Aunt and Ele liked it so much. She would be kind hearted and strong girl as she could endure so much harshness of you for her people. I really would like to meet her too sometime.

And yes, say thanks to her on behalf of us, and sorry to her on behalf of you whatever have you done with her."

"Ok. Now, don't take too much stress and have some sleep. I will make that presentation too."

"Thank you, bro!"

Then, Ernest was about to hang up the phone,Edwin said, "wait, Ernest!"

"What happen now?"

"Ernest, Edward uncle also got to know about Ruhi as she is your assistant and he was very shocked to know as this time you have appointed a girl. So be prepared already to give his all answers because I know he will definitely call you next morning."

"Now, who the hell told him about her?" He shrilled.

"Me," Edwin said and hung up the phone hurriedly without listening him.

"Wait, you jerk, I will see you there," said Ernest and then he received his message-

"You deserve this, because you have harassed both me and Ruhi a lot, so bear it now."

He clenched his phone in his fist after reading it and went again in his room to take shower.

Later, Ruhi wake up as her phone was ringing continuously on the side table because last night Rachael had give her phone to Ernest.

She picked his phone, looked at screen as Natasha was calling her.

"Hello," she whispered.

"Hello, Ruhi, how are you?"

"I am fine."

"Ruhi, I am very sorry. Because of me you have face a lot yesterday."

As heard her, tears welled up from her eyes as remembered all the incident which she has gone through yesterday night.

She controlled herself, wiped her tears, and said,"It's ok, Natasha. It was not your fault."

"Ruhi, did you tell Davies sir as I have sent you yesterday night?"

"No..."

"Please don't even tell him. Because yesterday night I got very scared when he was asking me with raged voice as why have you gone outside in late night so I told him a lie in fear that you have gone to buy some grocery on your own. So, Ruhi, please don't tell him the truth that I had sent you last night...please, Ruhi!!"

"Don't worry, Natasha. I will not tell him."

"Thank you, Ruhi. Well, do you know, how worried Davis sir was for you last night. when you didn't come back home. Rachel sir told me that he was looking for you everywhere wherever you went. And in the end he finally found you. Ruhi, do you know, he cares a lot for you so he won't be angry with you but if he comes to know that I sent you out last night then he will not leave me so please don't tell him the truth. Please, Ruhi!!"

"Don't worry, Natasha. I will not tell him," She said and hung up the phone and thought for while about it. Then she remembered her choti maa and checked her phone as her choti maa didn't call her till now regarding her reports, but sent a message-

"Ruhi, everything is normal in my reports."

She called her but her phone was switched off. Then she tried Suresh no, but his phone was also switched off.

She tried Riya's no, but she always hanging up her phone.

She tried gauri no, but she wasn't answering her phone.

Ruhi got worried, and called her friend, kavya.

"Hello, Kavya."

"Hello, Ruh. How are you, dear?"

"I am fine, kavya. Woh–"

"Ruh, is he bothering you?"

"No kavya. I am fine, but I called you because nobody was answering my call in my home."

"Even, Reema aunt?"

"Yes, kavya. That's why I am very worried. What I do?"

"Calm down, Ruh. Don't take too much stress. I will call you later after finding out the whole truth."

"Thank you, kavya."

"Btw, when are you coming?"

"Kavya, I will let you know after talking with Davies sir."

"Ok," She said and hung up the phone, and then she stared at her sleeves as she is not wearing the same clothes which kamal had given her yesterday.

"Creak"

At the same time, Ernest came out holding his watch from the closet room which was attached with his bathroom, and looked at Ruhi who was sitting against headboard on the bed.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as wearing his watch and then, picked his file from the couch.

"I am fine, sir." She said while looked down and whispered, "How I came here and my clothes–"

"I brought you here last night and Mrs. Sushma has changed your clothes, don't worry," he said as reading his file.

"Sushma?" She whispered and about to get up from the bed. She felt dizzy and again sat down on the bed.

"What happened?" He asked as coming towards her.

"Nothing sir. I am still feeling dizzy," She said as holding her head.

"Then, where are you going?"

"Woh... I was going to washroom."

"Wait, let me call Niya, she will help you."

As he picked landline, someone knocks on the door.

"Knock knock"

"Come in,"

Sushma came up there with cup of coffee and said, "Sir, your coffee."

"Hmm," he took his coffee mug and said,"Mrs. Sushma help her." and went from there.

"Ruhi mam, let me help you," said Sushma.

"Aunt, you can call me with my name," She smiled.

"Ok, Ruhi. Let me help you."

She nodded and went with her.
