They kissed for a very long time, while the elevator closed by itself and did not open again. It was only till they both were out of breath, did they leave each other"s lips.
They both gasped for air, looking at the closed door of the elevator. Rhehan quickly pressed the b.u.t.ton to open the door, as if wanting to run out.
He looked back at Rose, signalling her to move out first.
"Consider it a good bye kiss. It will not happen again." Rose spoke and walked out of the elevator towards the porch, rapidly.
The man wiped away the gloss from his lips with his hankerchief and inhaled its sweet fragrance. "Hmmm! Cherry flavour! Nice!"
He then walked ahead, following Rose, who had already reached the far end of the hall. She halted in the porch and turned to look at Rhehan, walking towards her. Once again her heart melted, looking at the handsome man. "No Rose!! You have to control yourself. You already did it once. Don"t forget he cheated on you. Sigh! But it is so hard to believe that!"
Rose averted her gaze as the man walked closer to her. "We can go in my car. I"ll drop you on the way back. Will be easier for me."
"Arlight!" Rhehan shrugged his shoulders and sat on the pa.s.sanger seat, keeping all the files and doc.u.ments on his lap.
Rose sat on the driver"s seat, switching on the ignition and moving the car outside the premises of the Excel corporations.
"So what do I have to do before the magistrate?" Rose asked, driving towards the court.
"Nothing much. We just have to tell him that we were drunk and thus would want an annulment of our marraige. We were not in our complete senses. I have some proof as photographs, where we clearly look drunk. So it is not so hard for us. He might ask us some questions and we just have answer them!" Rhehan explained the girl, the entire process.
"Ohk! Sounds easy." Rose nodded her head in approval, taking a right turn. "So...Ahem!!! Are you sure you...you have slept with Cheryl? I mean...."
Rhehan gaped at the girl in surprise. "What do you mean Rose?"
"I mean...can it be a misunderstanding?" Rose gulped in nervouseness.
"Why are you all so positive about it? Yesterday even mom was asking the same question again and again. Stop thinking about it. I did a mistake and I deserve to live alone. Don"t make it any more tough! I am not that a good guy, as much as you all think, I am. I am a cracked nut piece. Ohk?!!! Rhehan snapped back, with a heavy heart.
"Fine! If this is what you want!" Rose drove inside the parking of the court speedily, halting abruptly. "Let"s go Rhehan!"
She turned to look at Rhehan, who was already teary eyed. He so much wanted to change the last five days, but he knew nothing could be done now.
Rhehan stepped out of car, wiping away his tears, followed by Rose. They both were now extremely silent, while Rhehan pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton. Rose stepped inside first, followed by Rhehan. They both again looked at each other, with teary eyes, not saying anything to each other.
Soon the elevator opened inside the corridor of the fourth floor, leading to the office of the magistrate.
They entered the office and saw an obese and bald elderly man, sitting on the boss chair, doing some paper work. He was holding his gla.s.ses with one hand and a pen with the other. He was dressed in a black attire and looked atleast sixty years old.
"Good morning sir...I am Rhehan Jobs and she us Rose Wilson. We are here for the annulmemt of our marraige..."
