Here's the Chapter 5. Hope you like it.
Chapter 5
Unknown Friends or Known Strangers

Gunjan was ready to take up her job here in Mumbai. The place which gave her the spirit of enjoying life. The spirit of loving someone truly, madly, deeply.

Samrat.

She has still not met him.

Dia told her a few days back that he's gone to Thailand for some work-related issue and won't be back before weekend. But no one knows where he lives or works. Strange indeed.

She hoped to meet her friend soon.

******

Going to office was now a habit for Samrat Shergill. Sitting with the files, sipping his coffee or listening to routine lectures by the panellists. All seemed the same. On top of that, one has to see Shergill, Sr. for the whole day.

But today seemed unusual. It felt as if there were a new freshness in the air.

Something good is going to happen.' Thought Samrat and he returned back to his files.

******

"Gunjan ... Bhushan ..." read out the receptionist.

"Yes, that's my name written over there. I was supposed to meet the MD, Shergill Constructions. I had a meeting fixed at 10 am with him. May I know where he can be found?"

"Okay. Ummm ... Yes. Sir's is in his cabin. That's in the 20th floor. 2nd room on the left hand. You'll find him there."

"Thank you."

*******

S. SHERGILL, MD

Gunjan saw the name and proceeded to knock on the door.

"Come in." A male voice came.

She took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

He sat quietly, brooding over a file when she entered into the room.

His eyes went to the direction of the door and he saw her.

"Chashmish!" he exclaimed.

Samrat's POV

Chashmish. Chashmish is back. She is back. But ... no, is it true? Am I dreaming? Again. Or is she here for real? I can't believe my eyes. I mean, she is back. For real. I can't believe this.

Gunjan's POV

Samrat. What is he doing here? Wasn't he away on an overseas tour, as Dia told last Friday? Was she lying? But ... what is he doing here? Where's Mr. Shergill? Or is he S. Shergill? No, it can't be. Am I dreaming? Again. I can't believe this.

Both looked at each other. Both had several questions revolving inside their minds. Whose answers were lying in each other's eyes.

His chocolate brown and her hazel ones.

Time seemed to have stopped then and there, as they were lost in each other. It felt that they were the only two people in the world and no one else.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted them.

"Samrat, it seems like you've already met Miss. Bhushan." Said Rajeev with a smile.

"Why does he have to come here?" muttered Samrat under his breath.

"I didn't hear you, son." Rajeev said cheekily.

"Dad, I said that I met her."

Gunjan was clueless about what was going on. She waited for the father-son duo to end their animated conversations.

"Hmmm ... Good. She's going to work for you. So, act accordingly. I hope at least she won't disappoint you."

"I had a really tough job to find you the new Head of Projects." He added with a chuckle.

"Miss Bhushan. You can go to Mr. Malhotra. He's waiting at the lounge. He will be your guide about your task. Meanwhile, Samrat will join me in the meeting at 10:30. Good luck to you."

"Thank you, Sir," mumbled Gunjan.

"Samrat, wish her goodluck. Won't you do that?"

"Yes. Dad." He agreed half-heartedly.

"All the best, Ch- ... umm ... I mean ..." Samrat's throat had gone dry.

"Gunjan ..." Rajeev happily prompted and went out.

"All the best, Gunjan." Samrat wished her and walked out too before she could say anything.

She looked at his direction. She nodded and then mumbled a thank you.

'What on earth was this? How is he related to the Shergills? I will have to ask him about this.' She decided.

'I know now that you're back. I will explain everything to you. Wish the things were like the old times.' He hoped.
