Raol was taken aback by the man"s sudden outburst of happiness and affection. He kissed Raol"s cheek again and Raol stood at his position stupified. "Sir....?...Are you really kissing me or I am just dreaming?"
"Yes! I am kissing you Raol." Rhehan grinned at the man"s surprised face, and pulled his cheeks with his hands, lovingly, as if he was a small chubby kid.
"I thought...I thought....you will be angry. I did something major, without your permission sir. But you do not seem even a bit angry at all!!" Raol looked at his smiling boss. Suddenly a vision of Khufu appeared in his mind and he backed off in fear from his boss. "Ohh!! s.h.i.+t!!"
Rhehan got startled at the moment, and touched the man"s shoulders. He thought that the man was scared, of being chucked out of the company. "Don"t be scared Raol. I always know, you mean me well. I know, why you were forced to get those images leaked in the newspaper. You could not bear to see me sad. You meant well, and look at me, my happy smile is back." Rhehan patted the man"s shoulder, happily.
Raol grinned awkwardly at his boss as he was now hardly listening to any word. Rhehan"s bracelet was touching Raol"s shoulder again and again and Raol was now having constant images of Khufu in his head, with even more clarity. Nevertheless he tried to hear his boss, averting his mind from Khufu. "So does that mean, that I do not have to resign and I will get to see you everyday, just like earlier!??" He spoke in excitement.
"Offcourse my boy! You have brought back my life to a happy track. You also proved that I was drugged that night, thus it was not entirely my fault. Though I don"t know, what happened back in the room, but I am happy that I was not in my normel senses. Now, after the pictures were leaked by you, I get to fulfill my one favourite dream, that is, to live under one roof with the love of my life!" Rhehan looked at Raol with grat.i.tude in his eyes.
"Ahh!! Then, I am glad my plan was successful indeed. You are both finally together and it makes me very happy for you both sir!" Raol smiled and nodded in a "yes".
Rhehan smiled happily and hugged the man once again, in grat.i.tude. "Thank you once again Raol. Ok tell me, what is the second confession you want to make to me? Is it something this good or even better than this?" He finally released the man from his arms and sat down on a couch. "Please sit Raol!" He signaled him to sit too.
Raol looked at the man in nervouseness and then quickly averted his gaze and looked down at his own hands. He was feeling too restless to sit at one place. "Sir actually...."
"Haha! Please don"t start with the farewell speech again Raol. I am sure whatever you have done the second time has been in my favour only. I trust you and your decisions completely! Just speak up!" Rhehan grinned happily, looking at the nervous man.
"Sir, I don"t how to say this! From a few days...I was told to do a task! And I did it! The task was related to you sir. I don"t know how much you know about it or how much effect it had on you! But I played a game with you!" Raol looked at Rhehan again with the same guilty face.
"A game? What are you talking Raol. Please speak in clear and straight words. I am very bad at solving puzzles!" Rhehan frowned getting a little impatient. Though he believed that it was not something minor which Raol must have done. He would never do anything to harm him.
"Sir, do you remember your meeting with the construction company at 8:00 pm, few days back?" Raol wiped away the sweat from his face. "The one which got cancelled due to the CEO"s ill health?"
"Yes! Offcourse! What about that Raol?" Rhehan frowned in confusion, still not umderstanding his point.
"I lied to you sir. I cancelled that meeting myself, telling the CEO that you are unwell, and thus you could not attend the meeting." Raol pursed his lips in embarras.e.m.e.nt, looking down ay his own hands again.
"Huh? But why Raol? Do you have anything against that company? Or did you find anything wrong about them?" Rhehan picked up a gla.s.s of water, placed in front of him and took a sip of it.
Raol gulped, picking up the gla.s.s of water too and sipping it, nervousely. "No! Sir. It"s not about the company, but it is about you. I wanted that slot to be completely free for you!" Raol sipped some more water, not looking at his boss.
"Huh?" Rhehan suddenly remembered that it was during that slot of time, that he had gone for that antique articles auction, to buy the sword. Rhehan nodded his head in disapproval and thought about several things. He can not know about it? He probably must be talking about something else. n.o.body knows about it at all!! "Ahem! what do you mean by that Raol? I still did not get you!" Rhehan asked taking another sip from the gla.s.s.
"Sir, you exactly know what I mean. I wanted you to go to that antique articke auction!" Raol finally looked at Rhehan and gulped in nervouseness.
Rhehan spat out the water from his mouth, and coughed profousely. He was shocked to hear the second confession from Raol"s mouth. "You...You...Know about it? How do you know that!!?" Rhehan turned his surprised gaze at the embarrased man, wipping his mouth with his hands.
"Ohk! I will be really honest sir. I was the one to hack your tablet, so that you keep seing that advertis.e.m.e.nt every time you open it. I had got the flyers designed and printed too, myself. I then set the flyers, at the edge of you car"s bonnet, so that it comes flying to you, out of nowhere. I also placed the invite on your office table and various other places in the office, so that you keep seing it. I wanted to constantly remind you, to go to that auction. But later when you fixed the meeting with construction company CEO, I got really depressed. So I had to lie to you, that the CEO fell ill and had cancelled the meeting. Finally you decided to go to that auction and that was exactly what I wanted!" Raol heaved a deep sigh of relief as if having lifted a heavy weight from his heart.
