That One Deal by Barnali Bhuiya (ebook reader .TXT) 📗

That Man

"Hi! Sister in law.", Sydney says.

"Hello!", Luna smiles.

David was working but looking at her he says,"Good morning..."

"Good morning.", She says like an employee.

The whole day Luna keeps ignoring David. She doesn't even talk to him and it bothers David.

"I've something else to do so I won't be able to go back. I'll come to work at once.", Saying so she takes her purse when David holds her hand,"Luna did something happened?"

"Nothing happened. Why?", She says normally.

"Why are you ignoring me then?"

"I'm not ignoring you.", She steps back to maintain distance.

"You are ignoring me."

"I said na I'm not ignoring you. I'll be late, I've to go..."

"Where are you going?", He holds her hand again but not tightly so she won't be hurt.

"I don't want to say.", She smiles.

"I'm just asking so you won't..."

"I know I'm your contracted wife but it doesn't mean I've to explain everything to you."

"Luna, I didn't mean it that way..."

"I know David but I want to live my life too. Don't worry I won't do something..."

"Are you afraid I'll leave you after two years?"

"I don't wanna talk about it.", She tries not to look at him.

"You were okay this morning. Suddenly what happened? Why are you trying to go away to me?", Wrapping his arms around her he looks into her eyes.

"David, we're not lovers. After the contract ends we'll go to our own way..."

"Look at me."

"I've something else to do. Please let me go.", She tries to resist.

"What else is so important to you other than me?", He's getting angry.

"David, can you stop being like a kid! Let me go, leave me..."

"Kid? Let me show you how a kid acts.", Taking her on his shoulder forcefully he keeps walking.

But when her phone rings David puts her down as Luna pinched him.

"Yeah, Reyance. I'm coming.", She says.

"Ok. I'll be waiting.", Says Reyance over the call. He asked her for dinner and she said,"Yes, I'm free."

Looking at David angrily she walks towards the road when David calls someone,"Beat that jerk!!!"

When Luna goes to the restaurant Reyance is supposed to be, she sees everybody but Reyance? He's not there. She calls him but his phone is switched off.

But seeing Tony and Daisy suddenly she smiles. After having dinner Tony drives them to Daisy's home.

"Boss, Mrs. Luna is at her friends house.", As David gets to hear it he smiles leaning his head on the sofa.

"You mean he kissed you? Omg!...", Daisy screams louder like she won lottery.

"Yes.", Says Luna getting shy.

"Then why did you ignore him? You shouldn't ignore him. David Carter kissed you, he might be serious about you.", If she can she'll want to see Luna having his kids.

"Daisy you know it's not possible. After two years... We two will be seperated...", Luna's sad face makes Daisy sad too.

"I know Luna. When you told me about it I was angry for one minute but then I know you might had reasons. So Luna, you should listen to your heart. Don't think about what others say. When the man is in love with you then who are they to meddle in?"

Getting more sad Luna looks at her.

The Next Morning

Luna is not dressed up so well, a bit messy but she's looking hot. Like she's a new blooming flower she's full of confident.

"H--i...", Sydney looks at Luna. Something is different today.

"Hey.", She says.

The people who were looking at her yesterday, they are kinda surprised seeing her today. As they thought she would run away but she's not.

She managed everything without any mistakes. While going back to the mansion she gets a call suddenly,"What are you saying?"

"What happened? Luna.", David is looking at her.

"Reyance is in the hospital. I've to go there right now. Sorry I can't go to home tonight.", She says. She's a bit worried.

"It's ok. Come I'll go with you.", He says.

"But you don't like hospitals."

"It's ok. Come, let's go.", He says.

Going to the hospital Luna sees he is lying on the hospital bed.

"Luna, you are here...", Says Reyance trying to get up.

"How these happened?", She says.

"When I was going to the restaurant some men came and beat me...", He says looking at her.

"Omg! Did you reported it to the police?", She says putting fruits on the table, David bought those for him.

"No, not yet...", He tries to hold her hands.

"How are you feeling now?", As David saw what Reyance is trying to do, he walks in.

"Oh, Mr. David came too...", Though he tries to smile but it can be understood that he is feeling bothersome by David's arrival.

"Ofcourse, I should come. Afterall, you're my partner.", He smiles.

"Thank you Mr. David.", He looks at her again.

"Luna, can you stay here for tonight. Umm, I'm you know... I don't trust anybody. And I'm quite afraid of unknown places too, can you...", He looks at her.

"That's umm...", Except friend Luna doesn't think of him as something else.

"No, she can't. Don't worry I can arrange it for you Mr. Reyance. My men can stay here if you want.", David smiles.

"Geez, this man! He's meddling again!!!", Reyance feels kinda annoyed.

"Thank you David. Reyance, he is right. His men can protect you..."

"Thank you... Mr... David.", Reyance is staring at David angrily but he's trying to suppress it too. He can't let Luna see that he's ill tempered.

"You're welcome.", David is giving him a gaze, a warning that he's here with her, nobody should be around her other than him.

Saying bye to Reyance Luna leaves with David.

"This David!!! He's too much. Just another chance, I'll make sure she'll be mine... I've waited enough. I won't let you go away to me anymore.", Reyance has changed his way of getting loved. He broke up with his girlfriend and he's trying to make Luna trust him.
