Episode start-
He led her to cabin, And made her sit on the chair infront of him . While he learned against the glass table .
"So , you want to hire me, may I know why ?
"For my mommy , she needs a superhero ."
I was just listening to their conversation .
"I have money " she took her bag and pulled out her piggy bank .
"See money." I saw a ghost of a smile on his face . Maybe he admire her courage or was laughing at her innocence .
"Why your mommy needs a superhero?" Before she can tell him I interrupted her .
"It is alright Rhea, let the good man do his work ." She looked at me .
"Don't listen to her , she needs a super hero " my daughter whispered ." I see, little miss".
I am sorry for this ; I didn't think she would do something like this. I just wanted to say thanks to you for what you did for me yesterday,"
"Mam if you have done VR has a few clients waiting for him. If you please ...." The man cut her off .
"Resechdule them , I am with a client ". The lady looked shocked .
"You cannot be serious vansh she is a child ." Vansh gave her a cold glare .
"Sorry , I mean VR. " " She is a client: she has something to offer against our serious . Now , make sure the little miss is well fed, would you like a glass of juice.?" " How about some cold ?"
This time I saw a full- blown smile.
"Sure little miss" and he looked at the lady again-
"Get two coffee and cola, while you are at it make sure you let everyone known , I am in meeting.
He gestured for me to sit down and place a block puzzle in front of Rhea.
"Show me how fast you can solve it.
If you solve it fast enough I might consider the parposal." I SHOW HOW KINDLY BEHAVED WITH RHEA -
"SURE SUPER HERO " SHE ADJUST HER HEARING AIDS AND FOCUSED HER ATTENTION ON THE PUZZLE . I AGAIN DO NOT WISH TO REMEMBER WHY I HAD TOUGHT HER THIS LITTLE TRICK.
"PLEASE TAKE A SEAT. TELL ME WHY ARE YOU HERE?" HE ASKED ME.
"I WANTED To THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY . YOU SAVE RHEA IS MY THE ONLY FAMILY . I HAVE LEFT . I CANNOT EVEN THINK OF NOT HAVING HER BY MY SIDE..
RECENT EVENTS HAD MADE ME REALIZE HOW HELPLESS I CAN BE IN CERTAIN MOMENTS".
"I AM A BODUGUARD MISS, I PROTECT PEOPLE . IT IS MY JOB." HE SAID.
"THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOU .
"YES",
I HAVEN'T ..I WANT YOU TO ASK SOMETHING VR If you please listen carefully to what I have to say". I told him.
"Go on ," he told me.
"You see I was hoping to see you but not only to thank You but to ask you if you .
"I said looking at him, then we heard a knock at door . He told her to come in.
"So, you want me to protect your daughter and your child wants me to protect you. "
"How interesting ," " except VR doesn't protect anyone personally ," vansh looked at her sharply once again".
" I will decide that , now leave us", after she was gone he again looked at me .
"I didn't know ... I am sorry VR ."
I saw Rhea dropping something on the table in front of us.
"I am done now, will you protect my my mom"? She asked on a serious tone.
"Yes , I will little miss that too free of charge ,." He said looking at my child.
.....
At first , I thought he was joking and only saying this to keep my daughter happy. But then as she got ready to go to my boutique , I heard a horn honk in front of my house,"
"Sejal can you please see who it is while I finish things here "? I asked her . Sejal is more like a friend than an employee, she never left me even after all that had happened.
"Ridhima , did you order a security services an the door step?" What now? "Vansh .... " My child run towards the living room.
"Wait for Rhea your shoelace are United you are going to fall ," I said but the damage was done . I saw vansh pick her up as she cried .
"It is alright little miss, you know who has scars like that "? She shook her head ".
"Champions, superheroes, and you are one brave little champions aren't you "?
I saw sejal bring the first aid kit .
"THANK YOU , SEJAL ", I SAW THE SUSPICIOUS LOOK ON SEJAL'S Face , she doesn't trust anyone with Rhea, and I do not blame her ,
"Here let me take a look ," sejal said .
I am surprised be let my daughter call him by his name. He glared at whoever she was for accidentally uttering his name. But it is alright when my daughter calls him by that"
"Miss sen, I need the sechdules yours and your daughter's ," " please call me Ridhima. I don't like to be addressed as miss sen". I told him politely .
"ALRIGHT MISS RIDHIMA , YOURS SCHEDULE IF YOU MAY, AND. POTENTIAL THREATS TO YOUR FAMILY. I NEED TO DERIVE A STRATGEY TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY ." HE IS SERIOUS -
"Are you sure Mr. VR you want to have this job? . And that also for free when you have such a high end and high paying clients",
"Yes, I do , can I have a list ?" I sighed.
"Follow me please " he did as told . I can see how good he was at following orders. I showed him the pictures . Him, this man if ever seen anywhere near my child , I want you to take her far away from him", he took the pictures and kept it,
"And you ?" He asked !
"I can protect myself , if anything happens to my daughter I cannot forgive myself , Also, my child cannot hear without her hearing aids,"?
He asked me for my phone , and then feed something on it .
"Speed dial, if you need my assistance . My working hours are till eight at night. , But if you want to I can stay later, I will be with your girl when she is at school, my men will be surrounding your workplace and your daughter's school. I will drive her to the school . And take her back. You should tell the authorities about the same ," I nodded "thank you " I said ...
"I am just doing my job, miss Ridhima your daughter looked concerned. About you . I had never seen such a young child being so much concerned about someone. To be fair miss Ridhima , I am more concerned about her being concerned about you . Then to guard her . Something tell me you needed my service that is why I agreed ", he told me,
"I can understand . That you love doing charity too. In that eminent threat is out of our lives ,, I wish that you will protect her ",
" I will , once I take a jobs I complete it, you can be sure of that miss ridhima," I saw something on his waist . A gun holster. So, he carried his protection with him,
" Today I will be driving you to the boutiques , that is where you will be going "? He asked..
"Yes , her school is out for two weeks till they can get it up and running again." I, informed him .
"Very well then ," he said getting into stiff business - like mode again.
