"Tripti, you know what that means?", he asks in a deep voice, the type of voice which makes your legs go jelly. Not from anticipation but from fear. I was still trembling under him. "It means satisfaction, and You, my darling, are going to provide m...
I fucking was in Love! She took my heart without even doing anything. She doesn't even know what she does to me. The effect she has on me.
Never in my life would have I thought of leaving my position so early. Ofcourse I would've retired when the time came but it was sooner. I was actually leaving the mafia. For her, for good.
My enemies would not leave me though. No matter who the leader is, they'd still be up for killing me. Because I had given them hell and no one gets down before getting revenge.
The paper work was done and so was my leadership. I was feeling ten times lighter, as if an imaginary weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I was working on the retirement for a while, since she asked me for the promise.
Although she's not suicidal, I can't stand any chance of her hurting herself just because of me.
Dhruv would be my successor. I was proud to give him the title he deserves it.
When I first told him about it, he was shocked and tried convincing me to retain the position. But I have him my last order... To take over. He did.
Today was the official ceremony, a coronation kind of but with no crown? The leaders from rest of the world will be present to witness the new Indian Mafia leader. The thing was dangerous, everyone was capable of killing. And not just killing, so much more.
The plan was, I would've gone and done the necessary things and came back, but Tripti was adamant to tag along. When I refused she thought I was embarrassed of her. I didn't know why she was adamant on going to an event where people she hated would come. Maybe because she didn't trust me enough to know that I am actually handing over the business?
It was quite opposite. But she wouldn't know. So I had to take her there as well. We had our men everywhere to guard. Security was tightened just in case a war broke out. But I had my doubts nonetheless.
Bringing her to an event where hundreds of dangerous people were invited and half of them being enemies... Was not at all a wise decision.
It was the day. The day I'd leave the Mafia, for good. I used to think that power was all one needed to live. But I was so wrong. The day she arrived in my life I left interest in power, money..
I'll continue to do my corporate business, but that too for so long. Because everything is interconnected. This business influences the other and visa versa.
For now, I don't want to think too deep. So I just went to change my attire.
She was already dressed in a beautiful saree. She was looking flawless. She always does.

She would be the only light in the room filled with darkness.
Taking her appearance in, I wrapped my hands around her waist while she was busy wearing jewellery in front of the mirror. I gave her a small peck on a cheek.
Things were different since Diwali. We were closer since I promised her to change.
Giggling, she escaped the embrace and said, "We're getting late let's go". Nodding I left her hand and asked the driver to bring the limo outside the gate.
When she saw the limo she asked, "Didn't you dislike sitting in it?"
"I do, but you liked it"
We arrived on time. As soon as I stepped inside with Tripti by my side, All eyes found their way to us. It wasn't good. She was looking divine, no doubt, and being by my side
We walked hand in hand, I never left her hand except when I had to go on the stage and do the formalities. I gave dhruv my gun and a declaration.
He was now the leader. I patted his back with pride and left to get Tripti.
"I.. I saw Navya", she said. I was confused. What was Navya doing here? But on top of it, how could she even enter the place without invitation.
As it comes out it was her hallucination. So we paid it no mind and left for penthouse after having the dinner.
Thankfully nothing bad happened. Probably because I had extra surveillance.
She said she was too tired to even stand properly in the heals so I took her in my arms until we got to the penthouse from our entrance. She gasped in surprise and started getting away but I liked holding her so I didn't put her down.
Her face flushed bright red when someone saw us like this. I eyed the workers and they scurried off. A smile made it's way on my face. Should I confess her?
No... It must be special.
She likes stargazing. Maybe a holiday in Norway and then... Cool idea!
But I had my doubts. What If she doesn't like me, still. What If she rejects me again?
I looked in her eyes, they were shinning bright. She was smiling too. She was happy with me, maybe she likes me?
