Zaroon’s POV
She is going through a lot, and the
only reason is me. It was my mistake to take her along for hotel visit. And when
I could sense the disturbance already because of the presence of the reporters
there, I should have warned her after that. If informed on time, she
would have been more careful and would have avoided today’s problem. I am such
a fool. Now I have to take the responsibility to make everything back in place
and the only way is to do a press conference and to inform the media about the
wrong rumors, making the news. Also I have to warn the media to be careful in
future otherwise to be ready to face the consequences routed through the court.
Since her present state of mind is due
to me so I have to take the responsibility of her safety till everything gets
back to normal. Also I have to make sure to restrict her public appearance
before that. And since she was all scared when she met me in the morning, I
thought of taking her to my place and make her understand about the future
precautions she has to take.
She seems worried seeing my house but
I ensured her that she is safe here and everything will be fine. I left
her in the guest room and went to my room to take some rest. I were stressed
since morning and also was running here and there to find her and that too
safely.
I went to her room after around 3
hours from the time I have taken her to my house. Its afternoon now. I was a
fool thinking that I did not even asked or offered her breakfast. And since
now, it is lunch time so I should make sure that she have stomach full lunch
and also feel comfortable.
I knocked her door, no one responded.
I opened the door realizing that it is not locked and had the cutest and the
precious sight. She, like a baby, was sleeping on the couch and looking like an
angel, without any fear and negative thoughts on her face. She is so innocent
that she doesn’t even know how to handle the cruel world around her. I never
wanted to take off my eyes from her. But suddenly I saw her moving and she was
about to fall off from the small couch when I held her to prevent her to
fall off. She immediately came back to her senses and went worried looking at
me in her room that too without knocking and prior intimation.
I asked her to feel comfortable and
also ensured that there is no need for feeling scared of anything now. I told
her about my plans to have a press conference soon to make her situation better
allowing her to have her normal life again. She was excited to hear all that
and I could see the tears of happiness, forming in the corner of her eyes. Then she
asked for the permission of going back to her home to which I had to tell her
to have lunch first and then we can talk about the rest later.
We had our lunch. I could see that she
wasn’t comfortable sharing the same table with me. Probably she were thinking
and considering me as her boss only, even if we were not in the office. I told
her, “Stacy, we are not in office and so I am not your Boss here. You can feel
comfortable and have your food properly.”
“Yes
Sir!” She replied.
“I
told you just now that we are not boss and PA here. You can call me Zaroon,
when we are not in office or doing any official work Stacy.” I asked her.
“I
can’t call you with your first name, although I will try to address you with
your second name i.e. Mr. Faith.”
“Are
you always this shy, innocent, obedient and at the same time a little stubborn
girl Stacy? I mean why can’t you call me with my first name? Am I not calling
you with yours?” I asked her
She
blushed and could just say “I will try sir!” and after realizing what she said,
we both laughed.
Hearing my laughter, my mom and dad
came to the dining area. This was really a surprising moment for them as they
haven’t heard my laughter since years now. Seeing me laughing, that too when my
babies were not around, is the miraculous thing for them.
After lunch, she wanted to go back to
her house. I instead her to stay at my place only till everything sorted out
but she were stressing on just one thing that Zoe must be worried and she wants
to get back to home for her. I could not do anything much, except I told her
that I will drop her to her place and she should not come out of her home till
I have a press conference and resolve all the issues and rumors.
I took out the car, she said bye to my
mom & dad in a way as if they three know each other since so many years. In
the car also I was instructing her to take care of herself and do not come out
of her home alone until I confirm her to do that. I also granted her few days
leave, knowing which she doesn’t look really excited. Actually it seemed that
she was worried for the salary and by not working for a week or so, her monthly budget would fall out of place and that will create further problems for her to worry. Although she didn’t shared, but I could make out from
her expressions that she went worried. I asked, “Is there is anything which is
bothering you Stacy? If you want, you can share. May be I can help you with your
worry and problem.”
“No
No, there is nothing as such except that I do not want to miss office without
any serious reason. I promise you that I will take care of myself if you please
allow me to come to my duties.” She said
I think I was right with everything I
was thinking. I told her “you need not to worry about office, neither need you
to worry about the salary. You will get your whole salary without any
deductions for this absence.” This brought the spark of happiness in her eyes
and I was happy to see her that way.
We were there in front of her house.
Zoe was standing in front of the gate only, may be
because Stacy have informed her about her arrival. She seemed excited to see
us, especially Stacy. She requested me to come inside and even after my refusal
for so many times, she kept persuading me to come inside to have a cup of
coffee.
They have a very simple, yet so
beautiful home from inside. Everything was well placed and organized. The simplicity
was reflected in every possible thing, starting from the shade of wall colour
to the furniture they had in their compact house. They had a beautiful kitchen as well where everything was neatly placed and so much visible that even a strangers can themselves on their own. The coffee Zoe served
was delicious in taste and the love and affection I got in their house was
beyond words can ever explain. I enjoyed my stay at their place and during our
conversation over a cup of coffee, I explained Zoe also about everything which
they need to keep in mind about Stacy’s safety and distance from reporters,
until I do the press conference. With both of their assurances for being
careful, I said good bye to them and left for my place.
