Saanvi got down immediately "Dad," said with a trembling voice
Slap! Slap! The entire floor echoed with a loud sound. Her delicate face turned red immediately, her body took a step back due to the force.
"Dad what are you doing?" Shanny pulled him back immediately
"I never thought I will raise my hand at you" his voice made her tremble in fear, "I am really disappointed in you Saanvi" she never thought there would be such a day where she has to hang her head down in front of her dad. She never went against her dad's will.
"Dad listen to me," Saanvi said with a teary face
Austin pulled her to his side and said with a demanding voice "I am her hus"
Sana who know what he was going to say nodded her head reluctantly giving a lip moment 'Don't say that'
Austin understood and said "Ahem, uncle we want to marry each other" although he was so mad at Saanvi's dad he said with a low and soft voice not causing her more trouble with his arrogance.
Saanvi's dad pulled Saanvi from Austin's embrace and said "Is this how you want to become an independent?" asked Saanvi making her remember her own words.
"Dad" she wants to say out loud 'She wants to marry Austin' but she doesn't have the courage to utter a sound in front of his dad. He was very strict since she was born, he wants to give the best for his daughters in this process he himself became a cold and workaholic person. The person who doesn't have time to chat wholeheartedly with his children, the person who can't show his love and care towards his family which made Saanvi be in this kind of situation.
"Uncle, let's sit and have a talk" Austin tried to cool down her dad's anger, he has never been polite with anyone
Shanny who wants to take out Saanvi in this situation said "Dad, let's go home"
Sana said supporting her sister "Dad, we can talk when we go home, let's go now"
"Saanvi where do you live, let's go home," his dad said angrily
"D-Dad"
Watching her fearful face her dad raised a question "Don't tell me you are living with him?"
"N-No dad" after a small hesitation she added "I live in the office dorms"
Austin understood and texted Clifton to arrange a bag full of clothes to the office dorms.
Saanvi walked to the lift looking at Austin with fear in her eyes.
Austin, what if it is our last time seeing each other?
Don't worry I will come after you, Saanvi
Walking to the exit gate Josie said who was silent till now seeing the whole scene "Oh my, I never expected my younger sister to be so bold" she turned towards Saanvi's dad and said pretending to be guilty "I am a sorry uncle, I just asked you guys come to have fun but I never expected this to happen"
Mr. Kundra glared at Saanvi and said "I never felt embarrassed in my whole life Saanvi"
Maggie who saw Austin's worried face said "Sir, don't worry I will go with her to dorms"
Austin nodded with a stern face and said "Take her to the tenth floor"
Where Saanvi's dad asked the driver to stop at the dorms, she was confused about where to go, she visited once at the beginning of her intern coming here after four months she totally forgot the route inside the dorm.
The building was so huge with ten floors; her dad asked looking at her confused face "Which floor"
"That" she doesn't know what to say
"Hey, Saanvi are you going to the tenth floor?" Maggie asked giving a hint to her
"Yes" nodded agreeing with her
Josie who knew everything asked to sound her out "Saanvi, what is your room number?"
Sana who was frustrated at the sight of Josie said arrogantly "Why? You want to clean everything in Saanvi's room" and she added rolling her eyes "You are indeed looking like a sweeper with professional clothes"
"You" Josie stared at Sana with a murderous look
Sana glared even more at her.
"Sana" Shanny pulled her back
Saanvi walked in with Maggie and asked while taking lift "Why did you say the tenth floor?" her voice was too low Maggie never heard her low voice and said patting her shoulder "Don't worry, everything will be okay, sir asked me to take you there"
"Why?" "What about my luggage?" "My dad will kill me if I go with empty hands" her timid heart couldn't take the consequences making her dad anger.
Someone dragged her hand while she was about to say something. She can recognize this warm hug; she lifted her chin to look at her man.
She asked with teary eyes "What are you doing here?"
His eyes have vivid painful emotions, he said hugging her tightly "Stay still"
Saanvi said trying to free from her "But I can't, I have to go down soon"
Even though she was talking like nothing happened to make him less tense, Austin could feel her trembling body and he said "I will come after you" he bent down a bit and whispered in her ear "Don't worry I am with you" "No matter how many struggles will come, we can face it together"
Is he comforting me? The cold-hearted demon in him was nowhere, my heart was no longer in fear, and I have someone who can stand beside me forever.
Hugging back she said "Okay, now leave me my dad must be raging in anger," she said smiling at him; although her eyes and face were swollen the spark when she smiles went to his cold heart to warm him.
He released her after giving a small peck on her forehead, Clifton arranged a bag full of clothes Maggie walked her to the entrance and said smiling back "Careful and come back fast I will miss you"
