38//✨Tit For Tat

It's the day before Shivansh and Jivika's vacation to the unknown place as Shivansh has refused to give any information to anyone in the family. Only Adwait knows the place because he is the one to book the hotel there as he knows the owner pretty well. Not only that he can't let Shivansh take his sister anywhere without doing a security check properly as if Shivansh hasn't done it already.

Apart from this, right now the situation in the company is very tense as Shivansh has ordered all the employees to gather in the hallroom of the building. No one has any idea why the sudden need to be assembled but they can only assume that it's not something worrisome.

Suddenly the hall gets quiet just as Shivansh makes his way to the stage followed by a man in his late twenties. Everyone gets confused because they have never seen the man before but they don't say or ask anything knowing they can't just open their mouth in front of their boss.

"I am sure all of you are wondering why the sudden order to be here. But don't worry I won't take much time as I have many important things to do and I hope you also have important works to be done. Then let's directly come to the main point on why you're here. So, everyone I would like to introduce Mr. Yug Ahuja, my new PA to all of you." Shivansh says into the microphone while patting the young man's shoulder who bows his head a little in respect. Everyone claps their hands although many are confused along with Tara who doesn't have any idea about this matter.

"I know that you're very confused about the sudden change as Miss Tara has been my secretary for some years. But the time has come to say goodbye to her because she needs to be with her family right now. Yesterday she told me that she missed being with her mom and sister due to so much work pressure. So, being a good boss, I have thought to let her leave the job with two months paid salary. Miss. Tara, Can you please come on the stage and bid farewell to your colleagues?" Shivansh asks with a blank face as if he hasn't just removed someone from their job without any prior notice.

Tara's eyes are moist due to the feeling of betrayal by her crush. She is now sure that her boss's wife has complained about her and that's why she is being removed from the job so cruelly. Because she never said anything about her mother or sister to her boss. She badly wants to kill Jivika for ruining her life. First by snatching her boss from her and now her job too.

"Miss Tara, I don't have the whole day." Shivansh remarks looking at his previous PA who used to walk with confidence but today her walk is slower than a sloth.

Soon enough Tara stands in front of her boss who hands her the microphone while she wipes her tears with the back of her palms.

"I was very happy working here but now I need to spend time with my family. I will miss you all very much." That's all Tara can say before nonstop tears starts coming out of her eyes. Her friends, also known as her minions in the company want to console her but they don't want to get on the bad side of their boss. Because they have already guessed that may be whatever happened at the party with their boss's wife, Tara is being thrown out of the company.

"You all may leave except Miss Tara." Shivansh orders making everyone instantly leave the room while Tara shakes in fear thinking what more is left to happen.

"So, Miss Tara I hope you loved the gift I gave you on your birthday." Shivansh remarks meanwhile Tara's eyes widen thinking how Shivansh has got to know about her real birth date.

"You must be wondering how do I know your real birth date when you provided the perfect wrong documents to the company a few years ago. Am I correct?" Shivansh asks looking at Tara with a smirk presents on his face. He shows his hand to Yug who gives him a file.

"Here, see if they're the real documents of yours or not." Shivansh says and gives the file to Tara who takes the file with trembling fingers.

Tara's jaw drops seeing the content inside the file. Because these are surely her real documents. Not only that, an appointment letter is also present in the file too which is not from 'Rajput & Sons' company. The file falls down on the floor from her hands as she can't hold it anymore. She is still in shock that her reality has come out in front of her boss.

"By looking at your expression I can tell that you know everything about this file or the documents present inside. Did you really think that I am a fool to not know who I am keeping as my PA? Did you take me as a brainless person or did your real boss think that he had become too intelligent to send his spy to my company to gather crucial information?" Shivansh asks looking extremely calm but now everyone knows whenever he is calm, he is simply planning his next move.

"Sir believe me I never wanted to betray you. I was forced to-" Shivansh shows his palm to Tara stopping her from speaking any further.

"I know everything from the start, Miss Tara. Way before you joined the company I got to know about your pathetic boss's plan. So, don't try to feed me any more lies. Also, you have always been a namesake PA for me because my real PA is Yug from the last few years after his mother resigned from the post because of illness. Whenever you used to make a schedule for me, I used to send it to Yug and that's why there were so many changes in the schedules made by you because Yug never approved of them. If you thought that you were being smart by giving information about my company to your boss then I have always been the smartest to hide everything from you. Now, you should leave as I need to get back to my wife whom I am taking on a much-needed vacation tomorrow." By saying this Shivansh leaves from there followed by Yug while Tara is glued to her spot not having any idea about what to do next.

In the palace everyone is happy knowing that Jivika and Shivansh are finally going for the trip which got canceled due to the sudden situation with the so-called relatives. However, Ritika is sulking from the moment she has learnt that Adwait knows where her bestie and brother are going. But Adwait being the naughty man, he is not sharing any information with her.

Currently both are busy having an argument in front of Raghuvendra whom they have asked to be the judge to decide who is correct among them. However, the poor old man is in pure horror seeing the situation is getting out of hands. So, immediately takes out his phone from his pant's pocket and sends a quick text to Kavyansh to come in his room knowing Kavyansh will be able to handle the situation perfectly.

In a few minutes, Kavyansh walks into his grandfather's room and instantly wants to get away from there seeing that Ritika and Adwait is arguing over something. But before he can leave, his grandfather calls out to him.

"Kavyansh is here and now he will decide who is correct between you two." Raghuvendra declares making Ritika and Adwait to look at Kavyansh who feels like a deer caught in headlight.

"That's good because no one make more sense then Kavyansh Bhaiya." Ritika says and walks towards her big brother who looks at her with a nervous smile.

"Whoa! Stop trying to take him in your side. He is a male so he should be in my side only." Adwait remarks making Kavyansh to look at him with a done face.

"Did you even hear yourself, Scooby-Doo? Just because Bhaiya is a male he doesn't need to support you. Moreover, he is my big brother so he will surely support me. Right, Bhaiya?" Ritika asks looking at Kavyansh with hopeful eyes while Kavyansh glares at his grandfather who holds his hands up in surrender.

"You know to take any decision, first I need to know the reason behind your argument." Kavyansh remarks making Ritika and Adwait to glare at each other.

"This idiot knows where Shivansh Bhaiya is taking Jivi on vacation but he isn't sharing the information with me."

"Although I know where Shivansh is taking Jivika but he has told me to not share this information with anyone."

Ritika and Adwait say at the same time making Kavyansh to shake his head at the two crazy in front of him. While, Shivansh stands leaning against the doorframe of the enjoying the drama going on inside.

"Humein na yeh sab jhamele suljhane se bhi zyada zaruri kaam hein to hum jaa rahe hein." Kavyansh remarks and turns around to leave but stops seeing Shivansh who is looking like he is trying hard not to laugh at the situation.

(I have more important work to do than solving all these issues. So, I am leaving.)

"So, you're standing here and enjoying everything." Kavyansh remarks and holds Shivansh's ear playfully who starts apologising instantly.

"Bhai, please leave my ear. I promise I won't do it again." Shivansh pleads while everyone in the room starts laughing forgetting the argument going on before.

Shivansh talks with everyone for some time before he arrives at his room but he can't see Jivika there. However, as soon as he walks into the closet he notices that his wife is busy packing clothes for their vacation. Jivika is so focused on the task in her hands that she hasn't noticed that her husband has returned from the office.

Shivansh walks slowly towards his Rani Sahiba and wraps his hand around her slim waist while a gasp leaves Jivika's lips with sudden contact. But soon enough she realizes that it's none other than her husband who is being sneaky.

"Aap kab wapas aaye?" Jivika asks looking through the numerous earrings she has in the closet to see which one she will be taking with her.

(When did you come back?)

"Thodi der pehle." Shivansh replies putting his chin over Jivika's head with a soft smile present on his face. He likes the height difference between him and his wife. He is a giant compared to his petite wife and this only makes him want to protect his wife more.

(A while ago.)

"Aapne to bataya hi nahi ki hum kaha jaa rahe hein. Ab mujhe packing karne mein kitni problem ho rahi hein." Jivika complains about picking up a pair of stud pearl earrings which is gifted by her Bua Maa.

(You didn't even tell me where we are going. Now, I am having so much trouble in packing.)

"Aap sirf apne pasanda kapde pack kar lijiye. Garam kapde pack karne ki koi zarurat nahi kyunki jaha hum jaa rahe hein waha thand nahi hogi." Shivansh replies pulling Jivika more closer who pouts in response.

(You just pack your favorite clothes. There is no need to pack warm clothes because it will not be cold where we are going.)

"Ager aap mujhe aise hi pakadkar rakhenge to main packing kaise karungi? Aur waise bhi aapko kapde nahi badalne kya? Jaiye jaldi se fresh ho jaiye kyunki aapka nahi pata par mujhe bohut zor ki bhukh lagi hein." Jivika remarks while Shivansh instantly takes a t-shirt and sweatpants from his side of the closet before running inside the washroom to get fresh. Because he can't let his Rani Sahiba starve at all.

(If you keep holding me like this then how will I do the packing? Anyways don't you need to change your clothes? Go and freshen up quickly because I don't know about you but I am very hungry.)

Meanwhile, Jivika giggles knowing that her trick has worked. Otherwise, her husband would have kept hugging her while she would be a tomato in response.
