Chapter - 123
"Hey Jacket, I love Kartik. Hey, Pillow, I love Kartik. Hey, Bed sheet, I love Kartik. Hey, glass, I love Kartik. Hey, Water on the floor, I love Kartik. Hey, Bed, I love Kartik." I announced it to each and everything in the room with a huge smile.

I am unable to stop smiling and my lips hurt putting it in the same position for a long time. My voice turned raspy at the same time high pitched. I do not feel the ground beneath my feet as I felt lightweight and flying in air.

Is this what love feels like? If yes, I am in love. I want more and more of this feeling. I love Kartik. I love our Mafia Boss. I loveeeeeeee Kartik.

I must tell this to Kartik. Tsk tsk. My love Kartik.

I covered my face with my hands feeling shy addressing Kartik Menon as my love. Oh! Those butterflies are back in my stomach.

But how do I meet Kartik? Soldiers are around everywhere not letting anyone walk into Kartik's room. I was stubborn and stayed in this headquarters and didn't go to the mansion. But that's my limit!

I have to make a plan, after all I love the Boss and I have to think in his range.

After an hour of thinking I made a plan which is fail proof.

The women in front of my door, they are easy. All I have to make a stupid reason of walking around the mansion for fresh air and they will fall for it. Next is the male guards in charge of the floor. I have to sneak behind the pillars and not let them see me.

Finally, Gautam who is guarding Kartik's room. I have to hit him with this water jug and make him lose his consciousness. That's it. Enter the dragon, Aadhya Reddy.

I gave a dramatic laugh and picked up the silver water jug from the floor. I wore Kartik's jacket on top of my dress and tied my hair into a bun.

I must be looking like a Boss with messy bun, unmatched outfit and a jug in my hand.

I opened the door and was welcomed with Anupama's curious eyes. "I am going for a walk around the mansion for some fresh air."

"With a jug?" She questioned.

Shit! I didn't prepare for this question.

"Why is there any rule in our Empire where walking with a jug is prohibited?" I questioned. "You all have no problem when lovers hold each other's hands and go for a walk, you have no problem when owners take their pets for a walk then why is it a problem when I walk with my jug? A jug life is also life despite it being a non-living thing."

Shut up, Aadhya. Not a word more. Please.

Anupama looked confused and decided to let me go. She started following behind me and I raised my palm at her face. "I need to be alone. Nothing more nothing less."

My heart fluttered as I imitated Kartik and the women stood back obeying me. Yay! First task completed.

I went to the floor where Kartik is staying and saw the guards sparsely located. I can do it! I took a deep breath and hid behind a pillar. Great. I entered in the floor and now there are six more pillars till I reach Kartik's door. I counted sixty numbers every time I jumped to hide behind the pillar and finally reached in front of the door.

Yay! Second task also completed. But where is Gautam? I don't see him in front of the door. How should I complete my final task?

"What are you doing here?" I heard Gautam's voice from behind and I immediately turned on my feet to hit him with the jug.

He rolled his eyes at me and pulled the jug from my hand with an ease. "If you were trying to hide from the guards in charge of the floor then you failed miserably. You have to remove this lid before performing a circus behind the pillars and making noise."

Gautam pulled the lid attached to the jug with his bare hands. He broke the metal with his hands. How is it possible? Unless he is a robot.

But damn! Did I really make sound while jumping behind the pillars? Shit. All my efforts were in vain.

"I want to meet, Kartik." I said looking at the floor.

"No. As of now you are my enemy who tried to harm my best friend. If not for Kartik I would have shot you dead." He said clenching his teeth.

All my anger on Gautam subsided as pain and helplessness took over me. It felt like Gautam is a strong force stopping me from being close to Kartik and I have no power.

I immediately joined my hands together in a prayer. "Please, Gautam. It's been four days and it's the longest I did not get to see him. I am ready to sacrifice my food, water and air as soon as I meet Kartik. Please, just let me see him once." I cried and said everything with much difficulty.

He sighed. "Now I understood why Kartik is helpless in front of you. Your stupidity brings a mighty man to his knees as well as put him in danger." He threw the jug away. "Alright. Stop crying."

"I will stop crying only if you let me meet Kartik. Otherwise, I will cry a desert."

"You mean Ocean?" He took a deep breath. "Only Kartik can deal with you, follow me. Remember, he is still unconscious so don't pull any tricks there."

I nodded my head and wiped my tears. "I will just see Kartik from far. I won't even talk or touch. Pinky promise." I said with my left hand as a devilish grin appeared on my face.
